Initial autopsy results on the late actor David Carradine suggest that he died of auto-erotic asphyxiation. Carradine, 72, was found dead hanging in the closet of his Bangkok hotel room on Thursday, June 4, 2009.

Some local reports had suggested that he committed suicide, while Thai police indicated that they believe he died accidentally while taking place in a dangerous sex game involving auto-erotic asphyxiation. In such activites, victims achieve heightened sexual pleasure by restricting their air supply.

Carradine’s family requested officers from the U.S.’s FBI get involved in the case last week, hoping to prove that the actor had no intention of killing himself.

Forensic specialist Dr. Michael Baden appears to have found evidence to back up the findings by Thai police. An initial autopsy report by Thai coroners found that he died from a sudden lack of oxygen and that his body showed no sign of struggle.

Note to any paparazzi still left wondering about how Hugh Grants feels about being followed: he really doesn’t like it and will show you in the most painful ways. As the British actor left the Waverly Inn in New York City last night with a friend, he was followed by the usual throngs of photographers that frequent the area.

Hugh, however, did not appreciate the snappers and after a TMZ photographer suggested a good place for him to hail a cab, Hugh showed his (lack of) appreciation by giving him a nice swift kick between the legs.

The photographer repeatedly asked him what his problem was, but Hugh just walked away. You can check out the video here.

In 2007 Hugh attacked a photographer taking photos of him at his home in England by attacking him with a container of baked beans. Now he’s progressed to kicking them in the balls. I wonder what he’ll come up with next.

Prince’s widely reported hip problems of the past have now worsened and turned into a need for a double hip replacement. However, as a devout Jehovah’s Witness (They don’t believe in blood transfusions and other medical interventions), Prince refuses surgery.

A source who was with Prince last night at the Apollo Theater’s 75th anniversary celebration to toast Patti LaBelle said:

“He’s in a lot of pain. He’s popping pain killers and hoping it will all go away.”

In 2005, reports surfaced that he needed just one hip replaced, but he declined. Then again in both 2007 and 2008 it was said that he had agreed to “secret surgery.” That obviously never happened, as he’s still hobbling around in need of two new hips nows.

To keep himself upright, Prince is now walking with a diamond-studded stick. How long will it be until we see him wheeling around in wheelchair because he refuses to get the help he needs?

Who can forget Phil Spector’s wild and crazy hairdos during his recent murder trial?  You know which one I’m talking about - the one where it looks like he’s a mad scientist who stuck his finger in one too many electrical sockets.  It’s just one of his many wigs. Have you ever wondered what he looks like without the shocking hair?   Well, now you can see for yourself.

Smoking Gun posted today Spector’s mug shots in which he was photographed without his wig. Having been convicted and sentenced to prison, Spector was forced to give up the false hair.

Spector, 69, who was sentenced last month to 19 years in prison, was  photographed after arriving last week at the North Kern State Prison Reception Center in Delano.

Lady Gaga will be teaming up with Kanye West on tour.  No, she won’t be his opening act.  Rather, the dynamic duo have decided to perform together without an opening act.

Kanye blogged:

“She’s talented and so incredible that she’s not an opening act. We’re doing it together, with no opening act.”

Is this a show you’ll want to catch?

Ever since he wailed on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, leaving her battered and bruised, Chris Brown has been living life on edge. Not only does he have to worry about the outcome of his pending criminal trial, but he’s also received numerous death threats. Ever since, he’s been taking extra safety precautions.

Sources say:

“Brown is said to be ‘totally paranoid’ about the threats on his life and has become obsessed with his security.”

He won’t leave home without at least 3-4 people following him.

Although the true nature of the threats is unknown, it is reported Chris believes his potential attacker could be disguised as a paparazzi photographer.

Authorities are not sure who is sending Chris the death threats, but once source that is being investigated is the Women’s Protection Action League.
