'Jackass' star Bam Margera gets hitched
PHILADELPHIA --Bam Margera -- professional skateboarder, prankster and MTV star -- just earned himself another title: husband. Margera, 27, who became a punk hero on the shows "Jackass" and "Viva La Bam," married childhood friend Missy Rothstein, 26, in downtown Philadelphia on Saturday.
The couple wed in front of about 350 friends and family members -- and an MTV crew.
Margera is making his path to marriage into a nine-part reality television series called "Bam's Unholy Union." The wedding itself will be shown in the final episode in early April.
The festivities included a performance by rocker Iggy Pop, as well as appearances by skateboard legend Tony Hawk and James Iha, formerly of the alternative rock band Smashing Pumpkins.
The couple will honeymoon in Dubai.
