The thing about Johnny Knoxville, apparently, is that even when the cameras are not rolling, he likes to play pranks. And not the goofy George Clooney type. He pulls Jackass-like pranks on people who aren’t in Jackass movies. To wit: Knoxville badly injured a segment producer on The Prank Show when he tased him while they were both running at full speed. The producer, Daniel Curry, tensed up, fell over, broke his fibula, and tore a ligament. The injury left him on crutches, in a leg brace, and forced into six months of physical therapy. Just for being in Knoxville’s orbit! Apparently, Eric André — also on the show — walked off the set several times because of Knoxville’s antics, and when you’re too much for Eric André!
Anyway, Knoxville, the show, and Jimmy Kimmel’s production company are being sued for $3 million. The lesson, of course, is if you’re going to intentionally injure someone for laughs, make sure it’s Steve-O and not a guy just trying to do his job. (Deadline)

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, or at least AN important meal of the day. I can’t eat breakfast. I’ve never been able to. I’ve tried. Are there Breakfast People and Non-Breakfast People? - (Harpers Bazaar)
Oooh, fun! Last week we got to vote on the worst dressed at the Met Gala but the numbers were so close they’re going to a run-off! SO EXCITING! Go vote again; I stuck with my original vote of Chloe Sevigny, but I won’t be bothered if any of the others win. - (GFY)
Wow, back in our younger days my friends and I used to wish we could suck fat out of one area of our bodies and have that fat put into our boobs (I’m sure we weren’t the only ones who had these wishes). NOW IT’S A REAL THING! Did you all know this and just not tell me? - (PS)

GAH! Yet another reason to stay indoors. Warning: there’s a giant cicada’s face when you open this article. No one needs that. - (Mashable)
Jeremy Renner probably needed his mom to go to set with him to make him take breaks. That’s not a slam. - (THR)
It’s pretty widely accepted that the stupid phrase “friend zone” was coined, or at least popularized, on Friends way back in the late 1900s. Interestingly, none of the Friends writers are clamoring to take credit for it. - (Primetimer)
Sadly, we say goodbye to Dabney Coleman. He will be remembered and missed by many. - (PEOPLE)
