A curtain has closed with a shocking final cut of the “Kung Fu” actor, David Carradine. After a controversial photo was published in a Bangkok tabloid, family members are “outraged” and have warned any senseless media outlet that they will take legal action if they make reprints of the abstract photo.

In Loving Memory 1936-2009

Carradine’s half brother, actor Keith Carradine, is represented by celebrity attorney Mark Geragos. Geragos has become involved in this tragedy to help protect the family. Family members released the following statement:

“The family wants it understood that, per attorney Mark Geragos, any persons, publications or media outlets will be fully prosecuted for invasion of privacy and causing severe emotional distress if the photos are published,” Carradine’s family stated.

“All we really know is not much more than what the public knows, and that’s disturbing,” Geragos said.

Keith Carradine

A maid discovered Carradine’s lifeless body at the Bankok Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel closet in his room Thursday with a rope tied to his neck, wrist and genitals. It is believed to be an accidental suffocation, not suicide, according to MSNBC however, it has been speculated by Thai authorities that the 72-year old actor may have been engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.

The practice involves temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to the brain to heighten the effects of sexual climax.

A Carradine family spokeswoman issued a short statement with CNN saying that the family “is devastated by the news of David’s passing.”

Circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown, and there will be no further comment until information can be confirmed.

Expertise are expecting autopsy results in three weeks.

I personally am not one to talk about how to make a marriage work. I’ve failed miserably at it…TWICE. Maybe the secret is to spend thousands of dollars and fly off to some locale that common folk can only dream about visiting, let alone going there to tie the proverbial knot.

Oh wait…wouldn’t that mean that more Hollywood marriages would last forever??? Now, don’t get me wrong or send me a bunch of hate e-mails, I wish them the best. Really I do. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if I have to report on the break-up too. Anyone want to place bets????

In attendance at the wedding included Eva’s Desperate Housewives co-stars Felicity Huffman with husband William H. Macy, Nicollette Sheridan, Terri Hatcher along with her daughter as well as Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.

Jason Priestley (aka Brandon Walsh from Beverly Hills 90210), and wife Naomi have welcomed the first addition to their family. A baby girl. The couple tied the knot in May of 2005. Only time will tell if he learned anything about parenting from his on-screen dad Jim, played by James Eckhouse.
PS~this blogger thinks he’s still HOT!!!

He looks like a serial killer, but luckily it’s not a permanent look for him. He starts filming the Wolf Man next month.

Both 5-year-old Maddox and 2-year-old Zahara, son and daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, have been spotted wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt!

So who did the good taste in music come from? Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt?

Apparently Kate Hudson and Owen Wison have done the old Hollywood Split. Some say it was doomed from the beginning. It was a rebound for Kate. Well, regardless if it was a rebound or not, one has to wonder who both parties will end up with next? And how fast? Remember…this is Hollywood. Or rather, Hollyweird! Hey…maybe I could write a screenplay about the whole Hollywood romance scene. I sure folks would watch!

Isaiah Washington has been FIRED by ABC and will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy. His statement?

“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore.”

He actually used Peter Finch’s famous line from Network as his press statement!

The Sun (consider the source) is reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may adopt yet another child, this time from the Czech Republic.

While in Prague filming her most recent movie, Wanted, Angelina has supposedly paying regular visits to a Catholic orphanage and has fallen in love with one of the children. Brad has even flown in to meet the kid over the weekend, and the two have already begun the adoption process!

If the Sun is accurate (don’t hold your breath), Brad and Angelina will have adopted children from Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Cambodia. Poll time! What comes after the Czech Republic?

I always thought it was glue, but it appears to be BOOZE that’s making the host of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition so nuts!

According to People, the L.A. police have confirmed that Ty Pennington was arrested this weekend for allegedly driving drunk:

Pennington, 42, was arrested at 12:35 a.m. Saturday by West Los Angeles traffic officers. He was booked at the county jail on a misdemeanor and released at 2:50 a.m. on $5,000 bail. A court date was set for June 4.

Pennington released the following statement regarding his faux pas:

“I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes; however, this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused.”

Haven’t they had a few families on the show that have lost someone from drunk driving? Whoops!

Brad Pitt is reportedly demanding a butt double for a scene that calls for his to bare ass! He’s currently filming nude scenes for the Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, but he refuses to show bum as he did in 2004’s Troy.

According to Star Pulse, Pitt has informed producers of the film that they must absolutely find a butt double.

In related Brad news, I stumbled upon this movie trailer of the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which will release in September, starring Brad.

Cliff can go back to the bar! John Ratzenberger and his partner were voted off Dancing With the Stars last night. Judge Len Goodman said that Ratzenberger’s fox trot was his best dance to date.

Still remaining in competition is Leeza Gibbons, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ian Ziering and Joey Fatone.

First Reverend Alden dies and now Tom Poston! It always happens in 3’s!!! Which character actor is next???!!!

Tom was most known for his roles in Mork and Mindy and Newhart, but he also did stints on The Bob Newhart Show, The Love Boat, St. Elsewhere, The Simpsons, Coach, Murphy Brown, Home Improvement, Touched by an Angel, Will & Grace, Dream On, Just Shoot Me! and That ’70s Show.

Tom died last night after a “brief illness.” He was 85.

Dabbs Greer, better known as the Reverend Alden on Little House on the Prairie, died Saturday of kidney and heart disease.

Greer is also known for his role as the older “Tom Hanks” in the Green Mile.

This is probably a happy day for my brother. He hated Little House because my sister and I used to watch is religiously. Each Little House death brings him great joy.

Ha…Hugh Grant arrested for hurling a container of baked beans (and reportedly kicking) at a photographer. He got a mug shot, fingerprints and a DNA sample over the incident.

He’s hot no matter what, but I’ve seen better photos of him. From Backseat Cuddler.

Drew Barrymore was named World’s Most Beautiful in People magazine’s annual list. Below is an interview People did with Drew.

When do you feel most beautiful?
Right after I’ve worked out and I’m sweating all over the place and my face is two different colors of white and red and my hair is half wet, half dry and I look like I’m about to have a heart attack. I feel like I’ve changed the shape of my body temporarily into something more flexible and strong.

When do you feel least beautiful?
When someone makes a really snap judgment. It just feels below the belt. . . . You just feel kind of corroded and gross inside. I think that ends up reflecting on the way your face looks.

You love the natural look, but do you also love getting glam?
We as girls have that Cinderella fantasy of dress-up. So whenever you get the opportunity to have people make your face up and do your hair and put you in an outfit, it’s a fantasy. And it’s just so much fun and such a luxury.

How did your relationship with your looks change when you turned 30?
For some reason, since I turned 30 this little crew comes in the middle of the night and they sew little sausages under my eyes! I found some great new eye patches that are so awesome. They’re by Talika. They just take away the puffiness. You put them on for 20 minutes and they’re genius.
