Greg Giraldo
TMZ has obtained what is believed to be the last photo of Giraldo — taken at the Stress Factory comedy club in New Brunswick, NJ on Friday September 24 … the night before he OD’d.

Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances.
He had also been a judge on “Last Comic Standing.”

A source close to Greg tells us, “Greg passed away today
at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental
overdose. His family was by his side.”

We’re told plans are being made for a public memorial service

LAS VEGAS – The Clark County coroner says actor Tony Curtis has died.

Coroner Mike Murphy says Curtis died at 9:25 p.m. MDT Wednesday at his Las Vegas area home of a cardiac arrest.

Curtis, who had heart bypass surgery in 1994, began his acting career as a 1950s heartthrob but became a respected actor with such films as “The Defiant Ones” and “Sweet Smell of Success.

“The Defiant Ones” brought him an Oscar nomination in 1958 for his portrayal of a racist escaped convict handcuffed to a black escapee, Sidney Poitier. The following year, he co-starred in one of the most acclaimed film comedies ever, Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot.”
