Joan Rivers' doctor 'took a selfie with unconscious star'

Wow! Even at the brink of death someone was busy thinking of a selfie with the Talk Show star. Reports have it that Joan Rivers' personal doctor took a selfie while the comedian was under anesthesia and the physician was set to perform an unauthorized biopsy, a report has claimed.
The incident allegedly occurred in Manhattan's York-ville ¬Endoscopy shortly before Rivers, 81, underwent a procedure on her vocal chords that led to her suffering a cardiac arrest, CNN reports.
Investigators have been informed of the incident by a member of staff at the clinic, according to the broadcaster, which also claims that gastroenterologist Dr Lawrence Cohen finished his work on the star shortly before her unidentified personal physician performed the biopsy.
However, just before performing the procedure, it is claimed that the physician took out his camera to take a picture of himself alongside Rivers, who was unconscious at the time.
During the subsequent biopsy, Rivers suddenly went into cardiac arrest, with investigators believing that her vocal chords began to swell, thereby cutting off oxygen to her lungs.
Earlier this week, a voice recording emerged of Rivers complaining of trouble with her vocal chords.
She can be heard saying: "I told [you] I didn't feel good. My voice has been bothering me. I don't know what it is (...) I feel like shit. I'm tired already."
Later, she said: "That's it - I don't feel good."

Robin Williams had 'Serious Money troubles' after $30m divorce

We have all been wondering why a rich, successful ,loved superstar and legend would take his own life. New reports have revealed things were not all peaches as it seemed for the 63 year old..

Police confirmed this afternoon that Williams died by hanging. His wife Susan Schneider last saw him when she went to bed at 10pm Sunday. He went to a different bedroom and she believed he was still asleep when she left the house the next morning about 10.30am.

An assistant, worried when he couldn't be roused at 11.45am, and broke into the bedroom. The assistant called 911 at 11:55am, emergency personnel arrived at noon, and at 12:02 he was pronounced dead.

In addition to hanging himself, he had superficial cuts on his body and police found a pocketknife with what appeared to be dried blood nearby. Toxicology reports are pending and will take two to six weeks.

He had ‘Serious money trouble’ after $30million divorce bills, a stint in rehab just weeks ago - and ‘depressed’ his TV show was axed in May.
His publicist also revealed Williams had been 'battling severe depression of late.'

The star also admitted that he was troubled by his finances. He was reportedly forced to pay $30million during his 2008 divorce from his second wife Marsha Garces, the film producer who is mother to his first two children, and first wife Valerie Velardi.

Last year, he admitted that he was selling his $35million Napa estate because he could no longer afford it. He listed it in April for $29.9million - a $5million markdown from what he paid for it.

He told Parade magazine last September
 'The idea of having a steady job is appealing... There are bills to pay.'My life has downsized  in a good way. I’m selling the ranch up in Napa. I just can’t afford it anymore.'
 Williams' neighbor told MailOnline through tears..
'The last time I saw Robin was over the weekend, we would catch up on the street, just casual.He was very drawn and thin, he did not look like the Robin who first moved into this community many years ago.He was a shell of himself, exhausted and not in the best spirits, but still the nice guy I had always known. There seemed to be something on his mind.He was not at all like his stage persona, that was not the Robin I knew. He was more quiet and down-to-earth, not over-the-top like he was in the movies. He listened well.
'He was often quiet and very private.‘The last time I saw him he seemed to be in a bad place emotionally.'

Sopranos actor James Gandolfini dies at 51

James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally fragile mob boss in HBO's The Sopranos helped create one of TV's greatest drama series and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, has died in Italy. He was 51.
Gandolfini died on Wednesday while on holiday in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini's managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement. No cause of death was given.
"He was a genius," said Sopranos creator David Chase.
"Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes. I remember telling him many times, 'You don't get it. You're like Mozart.' There would be silence at the other end of the phone."
Gandolfini played mob boss Tony Soprano in the groundbreaking series that aired from 1999 to 2007. His performance was indelible and career-making, but he refused to be stereotyped in other roles as the bulky mobster who was a therapy patient, family man and cold-blooded killer. He won three Emmy Awards for the role.
 May his sould rest in peace . Amen.
