According to Perez Hilton, many have mixed reviews as to whether the release is premature, or if it is touching and thoughtful. Regardless, we think it is a very nice thing that M.I.A. is doing and we commend her greatly.

Johnny Knoxville Blogs his Tribute to Ryan Dunn

Posted by Samantha Lui on June 27th, 2011

Overcome with emotion and unable to show his feelings while speaking at Ryan Dunn’s memorial service last Wednesday, Johnny Knoxville wrote a blog post to his late friend and “Jackass” co-star, who died in a car crash last week.

In the post, Knoxville spoke of Dunn’s “enormous capacity to love” his friends and family as well as his fun personality.

“I felt 34-percent funnier when I was with Ryan, but I guess everyone did. He had such a hair trigger laugh reflex,” he wrote. “He lived his life wanting to laugh and wanting you to laugh with him. He would cackle really f*cking loud, too, and it wasn’t uncommon that he would fall over from it. Sometimes I would fall with him because his spirit was very contagious.”

But while Dunn was capable of making everyone laugh with him, Knoxville also spoke out on his friend’s serious side.

“Ryan was a great listener. If you were having troubles, he was always someone you could go sit down and talk to. Granted, most of our sitting down was actually standing up playing pool together, but he was always there if you were sad about something. That’s why all this is even harder because right now I really need to talk to him but I can’t.”

Artists celebrate life of Jeff Healy

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on May 4th, 2008

International music stars celebrated the life of Jeff Healey Saturday, May 3 in the first of two weekend tributes to the blind guitar hero—who died in March 2008 after a long battle with cancer at the age of 41.

Some of the artists who took the stage were rocker Randy Bachman, guitarist David Wilcox, bluesman Colin James and singer Alannah Myles. The show also featured ‘Deep Purple’s’ Ian Gillan—who played with Healey several times.

“We worked with each other a lot and I had a great deal of respect for him…. He always used to get up and jam with us when we came into town,” said Gillian.
Healy rose to fame as the leader of the Jeff Healey Band. As a child, Healey was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer— retinoblastoma—resulting in his loss of sight.

Proceeds from this weekend’s sold-out concerts will go to Daisy’s Eye Cancer Fund and the Healey Family Trust.

Johnny Knoxville Nearly Castrated

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 19th, 2008

Johnny Knoxville has incurred a bevy of painful injuries while performing “Jackass” stunts, but his newest accident takes the cake: he nearly castrated himself while riding a motorcycle.

Knoxville was filming a tribute to Evel Knievel in Oklahoma early in February when he had his painful accident.

Updating his blog, Knoxville wrote, “let’s just say before letting Travis Pastrana teach me how to do a backflip on a motorcycle I should have had him teach me to ride one first. Heh-heh…bad for me, good for our viewing audience at home. Have to go now. Have to empty the piss bag on my leg that I have to wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals.”

The tribute will air on MTV on Feb. 23, and Knoxville promised that there will “lots of great stuff in the Evel Knievel tribute besides my trip to the hospital—lots!”
