Two Hollywood stars will be going to divorce court to end their marriages of 12 and eight years, respectively.

Johnny Knoxville, who has been married for 12 years, has filed for divorce from his wife.

The “Jackass” star, whose birth name is Philip John Clapp, cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending his marriage to Melanie Lynn Clapp, according to documents filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Knoxville, 36, is seeking joint custody of their 11-year-old daughter, Madison.

The couple separated in July 2006.

Knoxville starred in “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Men In Black II” and the “Jackass” franchise, which includes the MTV stunt shows and their movie versions.

Meanwhile, Wayne Brady and wife Mandie are splitting after eight years.

Joint custody sought

In filing for divorce, Mandie Brady cites “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending their marriage, according to court documents filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. She is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old daughter, Maile.

The couple wed in 1999, but separated in April 2006, the papers said.

A message left after business hours Tuesday with the comedian's publicist was not immediately returned.

Wayne Brady, 35, won two Daytime Emmy awards for hosting “The Wayne Brady Show.” He has also won an Emmy Award for his performance on the improvisational comedy game show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”
