MZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle.

Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.

UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."

Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

According to officials, Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Cops say alcohol was NOT a factor.

An investigation into the accident is underway.

Hmm...only married one year to a wealthy(?) celebrity? 

Then again, I guess it would be pretty dumb to try to murder the person who is in control of the vehicle you are presently in...unless the poison had a delayed effect and she could not back out of it or ask to drive without being suspicious....

HAHA. I always do this, too. When he asks one of his questions, I look at Torgo and imagine him asking it. It always cracks me up.

R.I.P. - Seth Putnam

Seth Putnam, founding member of grindcore band Anal Cunt, has reportedly died after suffering a heart attack. He was 43.

Grim Kim Kelly, who handled the publicity for the band's last album, posted a message confirming the singer's death: "Seth Putnam, one of the most infamous musicians that extreme metal has ever seen, the grindcore GG Allin, has passed away due to a heart attack."

Putnam had been a prominent force in various extreme metal groups, such as Executioner and Satan's Warriors, before forming Anal Cunt in Massachusetts in 1988. The band had a strong anti-conformity ethos, not just in their offensive choice of name but in songs such as Kill Women, Recycling Is Gay and Eazy E Got AIDS from Freddie Mercury.

In 2004, Putnam was hospitalised and went into a coma after reportedly overdosing on sleeping tablets.

An interviewer, citing the band's song You're in a Coma, asked him how the experience felt. "Actually, being in a coma was just as fuckin' stupid as I wrote it was," he said. "We did a show on 27 August in Albany and we played You're in a Coma for the first time ever live. I don't want people to think I'm a hypocrite. I don't want people to think that I can't make fun of myself."

In the message confirming Putnam's death, Kelly said: "I want to remind everyone that no matter how outrageous and controversial his musical career has been, Seth was still a human being with friends and family that loved him. I'm hoping that the internet will remember that.

This is a very sad and trying time for those that knew him, and the last thing they need to see is an outpouring of messageboard hate. The man lived and died by his own rules; if anything, respect him for that."

E Street Band sax player Clarence Clemons dies aged 69

Clarence Clemons, saxophonist with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, has died aged 69.

The musician had been in hospital since suffering a stroke at his Florida home last weekend (June 11-12) and passed away yesterday (18), a spokesman for the band confirmed to BBC News.

Springsteen led the tributes to his "great friend" in a statement on his website, BruceSpringsteen.net, where he spoke of his "overwhelming" loss.

"Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage," the singer said.

Known as the 'Big Man', Clemons had been a key part in defining the sound of the E Street Band, contributing the iconic sax parts on hits like 'Born To Run' and 'Thunder Road'.

More recently he played on Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' album, performing on tracks 'Hair' and 'The Edge Of Glory'. He had a starring role in the video for the latter track, which was unveiled earlier this week - scroll down and click below to see it.

Clemons also performed as part of Gaga's band on the recent American Idol series finale.

He underwent two knee replacements and back surgery last year, and as a result described his last tour as "pure hell" due to the pain.

His last performance with the E Street Band was December. He was scheduled to perform the US National Anthem at the NBA Finals Game 2 last week, but had to pull out to due to a hand injury.

Virginia-born Clemons began playing saxophone at the age of nine after receiving one for Christmas.

"I wanted an electric train for Christmas, but he [his dad] got me a saxophone. I flipped out," he told the Associated Press news agency during a 1989 interview.

[Sleepless]

Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of MTV's "Jackass," has died in a car crash. He was 34.

NBC Philadelphia reports that Dunn and another passenger died in a 3 a.m crash at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania.

The news of the death was confirmed by April Margera, mother of "Jackass" star Bam, in an interview with a local radio show. TMZ also confirmed with Margera.

TMZ reported that Dunn posted to Twitter a photo of himself drinking with friends just hours before the crash; it has since been removed.

Dunn was perhaps best known for his parts in crashing golf carts and placing a toy car, in a condom, up his rectum in the original "Jackass" film.

What a life you've led when your obituary ends with "best know for sticking a toy car up his ass."
