E! reporters have outdone themselves for their incisive interview with the cast of the upcoming film, The Dukes of Hazzard. The brilliant questions. The searing follow-ups. The insightful commentary. This is what investigative journalism is all about.
E!: [The] Daisy Dukes--how do they fit?
Jessica Simpson: I just didn't want butt cheeks hanging out. That was very important to me, so they had to be a little bit lower-waisted. You know, you gotta meet in the middle. It's like marriage. You've got to compromise with the director.
E!: Ever try moonshine?
Johnny Knoxville: Actually, I had some moonshine shipped down [to the Louisiana set] from Tennessee while we were filming for the cast and crew. And it was delicious.
Seann William Scott: Of course, Knoxville thinks of giving people moonshine as a wrap gift. And like a moron, I take a huge gulp of it. I think I was drunk for a week.
E!: What does it taste like?
Seann William Scott: Like ass. It tastes awful.
E!: What's in moonshine?
Johnny Knoxville: It's made of corn. It's corn squeezings, and it's about 190 proof. Highly flammable. And you gotta drink it out of a glass jar, preferably a Mason jar. Because you put it in a paper cup, it'll eat the bottom right up, which basically is what it does to you.
E!: Ever injure yourself jumping into the car?
Seann William Scott: How'd you hear about that? Did you know it's a small window? Did John Schneider get hurt? I mean, it was really hard. I only jumped in the car once, because I banged my knee up. Johnny was good.
Johnny Knoxville: [I got a] couple of shinners. I remember showing up on set and seeing that for the first time, and the windows are really narrow. But the stunt guys worked with me and showed me how to do it.
