Comedian Johnny Knoxville, legally known as John Philip Clapp, was detained this morning at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as he went through security. "Clapp was processing through passenger security screening when a Transportation Security Administration officer saw the image of a hand-grenade in his carry-on bag," an LAX statement read. "Airport Police and the Los Angeles Police Department Bomb Squad were called, and it was determined the hand-grenade had no explosives or firing pin." It ended up being a prop from one of his photo shoots that he forgot was in his bag, he said. He was released but could be later charged with a misdemeanor, for possession of a prohibited item within the sterile area of an airport.

We couldn't resist yesterday's noon Dodger game. It was sunny, it was pretty much a pitcher's duel, and it was sweet to hear the school kids in the left field pavilion cheering and trying to start the wave. Yes the home team won, but our little section in the field boxes behind home plate won when this Johnny Knoxville look-alike caught a foul ball and gave it to a beautiful grayhaired woman who had...

Edward Barbanell is an actor with Down syndrome. But having sat down with Ed for lunch last weekend, I can assure you Ed has not gone "Hollywood" on us. He is in movie after movie, attends movie premieres, but above all else he loves his family and is not afraid to show it. After talking about his brother's upcoming wedding (Ed's going to be the best man) he agreed to do a quickie interview for LAist.

What was life like on the set of The Ringer?


Best experience of my life! It was a great cast, and a great crew. We laughed a lot, and made jokes. Katherine Heigl was my best friend. Everyone bonded and just joked around.

What was Johnny Knoxville like? Is he a nice guy?


Johnny Knoxville was also my best friend. He has a great sense of humor, he is lovable, he is a comrade. He understands that people with, or without disabilities need compassion. He is just a nice regular guy, jokester, who knows that it's the inner part of a person that counts the most.

Living up to the hype, rowdy stuntmaster Steve-O did his best to turn the red carpet yellow at Mann's Chinese before the "Jackass Number 2" premiere Thursday. Startled guests of the red carpet included Tony Hawk, Three-6 Mafia, and someone who has seen his share of exposed private parts in his day, Ron Jeremy. Photos of the arrivals here and please dont ask us what's in the plastic cup. No charges seem to have...

Carson Daly is not just shmoozing with hollywood bigshots, he is pointing at Eddie Barbanell, co-star of "The Ringer", a 2005 comedy starring Johnny Knoxville. And why is he pointing at Eddie? Perhaps Mr. Daly has finally organized his priorities!! Eddie is the best. He is kind, ambitious, has a sense of humor, and if you saw "The Ringer" you know already that he is a talented actor to boot.

LAist thinks Eddie rules! And not just because of his killer blog.
