Independence Day
Happy 4th of July to all my trash talkers out there. If anyone is out there taking a break from the BBQ and the parades and the fireworks and needs some celebrity gossip to soothe their souls, then just know we are here for you. And today, on this day of independence, we have some appropriate content, I feel — stories of women scoring independence (and hopefully alimony) from dubiously famous yet generally douchebaggy men.

Let’s start with everyone’s favorite improvisational singer and (apparent) talk show host (really? he had a talk show?) Wayne Brady. Brady’s wife, Mandie Brady wished him a happy 4th and served him up a big slice of shit pie when she filed for divorce this week, citing the always reliable “irreconcilable differences.” Now whose line is it, Wayne?

Also headed to divorce court are Jackass star Johnny Knoxville (whose real name is P.J. Clapp) and wife of 12 years, Melanie Clapp. I can’t say this one is too surprising, with all the rumors that floated a while back regarding Knoxville’s supposed fling with Jessica Simpson during the filming of Dukes of Hazzard. (And who could blame them, really? They had to do something to take their minds of the shitty movie they were filming.) Frankly, I would find this story more interesting (although still not surprising) if Johnny was leaving his wife for one of his homo-riffic Jackass costars, like Bam Margera or Steve-o. Welcome to Jackass, indeed!
