What better way to mark my return to these pages, after spending a week elbow deep in paint and sawdust, than with an underwhelming UK premiere gallery - whoooot.
We had the Jackass premiere in Dublin. Followed by the Jackass premiere in London. It's clear which one was more fun. You could blame the lacklustre UK shots on the WENN photographer having a rubbish pitch (and an inability to spot the film's stars, what with him listing Party Boy as "guest"), but irrespective of that, Johnny Knoxville didn't go to the bother of dressing as a pirate. OK, so he looks more attractive in this ensemble, exciting in a different way, but just without the heart. Or something.
Speaking of unbridled excitement of the nether variety (I'll touch off Mr. Prendervillein a minute), me fellah - some of you might know him as Lenny - went to interview Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine during the week (he also had an interesting chat with the elusive Spike Jonze). I was quite excited at the prospect of seeing the boyfriend on film with Johnny Knoxville. Lenny was more excited by memories of whooping his head off at 'The Milk Task' in his student digs approximately a decade ago - not to mention the copious quantities of caffeine he'd consumed before said interview.
And here is the footage. Some of you might find the audio a bit ropey (beyond our control unfortunately), so in the event that you might have the volume up high and are near straddling your computer in a quest to hear, you might want to turn it down a notch when Knoxville makes his rather funny "4Dieth" joke towards the end (which Lenny missed, he told me he was lost in Johnny's eyes at the time), as you'll be blasted by a bar of theme music.
As always, the most interesting banter happened before the cameras started rolling; apparently both Johnny and Jeff are massive Richie Kavanagh fans and are currently learning the lyrics to Aon Focail Eile. Watch this space.
