David Carradine's brothers, Keith and Robert Carradine, spoke out publicly today for the first time since the Kung Fu actor's death on June 4 in a Bangkok hotel room. According to ABC News, Keith, also an actor (Dexter, Nashville), called his brother's passing a "devastating loss." Robert Carradine requested a moratorium on speculation into the cause of David's death until "the investigation is fully completed."

Jessica Alba has been officially let off the hook by the owners of the Oklahoma City properties she allegedly defaced with posters aimed at raising awareness of the dwindling numbers of Great White sharks. Though local police say they are continuing to investigate the incident, proprietors of properties directly affected told the AP that they have "little interest in pursuing criminal charges." Earlier this week, Alba issued an apology for her role in the campaign.

According to The Associated Press, the forensic expert hired by Carradine's family has ruled that the actor's death was not a suicide. However, more information is needed from the Thai investigators before an official cause of death can be determined. 

According to TMZ.com, Chastity Bono, daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, is in the early stages of transitioning from female to male.

Publicist Howard Bragman made a statement for the activist, journalist and author, using  masculine pronouns: "Yes, it's true — Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity."

"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago.

We ask that the media respect Chaz's privacy during this long process as he will not be doing any interviews at this time."

David Letterman's on-air mea culpa last night regarding the now-infamous Top Ten list on his show this past Monday hasn't swayed Governor Sarah Palin.

The onetime Vice-Presidential candidate called Letterman "pathetic" in a recent radio interview, and responded through family spokeswoman Meg Stapleton today, who told the press, "The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman."

The Palin family took to their official Facebook page yesterday, with husband Todd saying "Any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too."

The Governor herself posted, in part, "Laughter incited by sexually-perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/NY entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands – that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others."

Letterman defended himself last night, saying directly to the camera: "I would never, never make jokes about raping." Watch the full video here.
