The Stupid Celebrity of the Day award goes to… prankster, or might we even suggest daredevil, Johnny Knoxville. His claim to fame was the MTV television show Jackass and at this moment that title seems oh so perfect.
Johnny was detained today at LAX airport for having a grenade in his carry-on bag. Ok, first things first. The grenade was fake but does that really matter? Who would even think to bring a grenade to the airport? Seriously!
Knoxville was at the American Airlines terminal trying to get through a checkpoint when the on duty screener saw the suspicious item. The actor was detained, questioned and was given a ticket for having a “prohibited item.” No worries, he made his flight on time. FYI: replicas of firearms are illegal.
We think American Airlines should have booted him from the flight….but that’s just our two cents.
