Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson’s four-year-old daughter, Exodus Tyson, died in a tragic accident Tuesday.

The mother, whose name has not been released, was cleaning in another part of the house when the little girl’s brother found his sister hanging from the machine. He alerted his mother who called 911 and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.

The little one was taken to St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center, where she was place on life support. Sadly, the youngster was pronounced dead today at 11:45 a.m., surrounded by family members.

Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and arrived at the Arizona hospital this morning. The family issued a statement thanking everyone for their love and support and asking for privacy while they grieve.

In the heartbreaking season premiere of reality show Jon & Kate Plus Eight, which drew a record-breaking audience of 9.8 million viewers, the couple admits they don’t entirely know where to go from here.

In the extended premiere, Jon and Kate, who have been married nearly ten years, could barely stay in the same camera-frame and rarely spoke to each other. Kate Gosselin admitted, “I am thinking this possibly could be our last family picture together,” at the sextuplets’ fifth birthday party, which she planned while Jon Gosselin was away.

At the end of the show the whole family gets together for a cookout while producers grill Jon and Kate, who for the first time in the history of the show were filmed in separate interview sessions. “It kills me,” Kate said of the rumors (and truth?) of Jon’s infidelity… and perhaps, allegedly, her own. “I have a lot of anger.” As for Jon, he said, “I’d like to apologize to my family for my actions. Everybody knows what I’m talking about.”

“As many couples do, we are navigating a very difficult time,” the couple said in a statement. “Our current situation brings us together around the children and some times sets us apart. We keep our faith that we will make the right decisions for our family.”

“We will always love our kids,” Jon said on the show, after apologizing to his family. “We will come together for our kids.

cocaine found in red bull energy drink

Six states in Germany have banned Red Bull after a test revealed that the energy drink contained trace amounts of cocaine.

Authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state conducted a sample test on Friday that found 0.4 micograms per liter in the drink. Five other states followed suit with the bans concerned over possible narcotics law violations.

Red Bull issued a statement saying the energy drink is “harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.”  It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.

Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk and is planned to give a more detailed report on Wednesday.

The wedding took place at the First United Methodist Church. Later, at the wedding reception, the pop star hung out with her sister and fellow bridesmaid, Jamie Lynn. Jamie, who had baby Maddie with her “sat at a table off to the side and visited with local people she knew,” says the guest.

“There was no fanfare,” noted the guest. “With all the star power Britney and her family command, it was still the bride’s day.”
