There is an investigation under way into the mysterious death of an actor who starred in multiple Lady Gaga music videos -- a 5-year-old Great Dane named Rumpus.
Rumpus, who was featured in the videos for Poker Face, Love Game and Paparazzi, was found dead earlier this month after a hike in Los Angeles. But Rumpus' owner, Suzzane Kelleher-Duckett, tells TMZ the champion show dog had no signs of injury and appeared to be in perfect health.
An autopsy was performed a few days ago -- results are expected soon.
Rumpus was supposed to appear in Gaga's upcoming video for "Bad Romance" -- but we're told only Rumpus' mother Lava (pictured left) will now do the gig.
R.I.P. Rumpus.

It ain't easy being Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's bulldog ... it's downright luxurious.
The A-list pup got the Hollywood royal treatment at the groomers in France on Monday.
When was the last time you brought Fido in for a little mani/pedi/botox?!

Famke Jannsen -- who played Dr. Jean Grey in "X-Men" -- is responsible for a New York restaurant breaking the law ... and she can thank her furry little friend for helping her do it.
According to New York City Health Code, it's illegal to bring a dog into a restaurant -- including the patio, if food is being served -- but Famke was snapped sharing an intimate meal with her canine at Il Sole on Sunday anyway.
We spoke to the owner of Il Sole, who told us she wasn't aware Famke was there with her pooch -- or she wouldn't have let it happen.
The only exception to the law is if the dog is specially trained -- such as a seeing eye dog -- but we're pretty sure Famke doesn't need one of those ... despite the giant black sunglasses.

Move over Cesar Milan, there is a new Dog Whisperer on the block -- and his name is David Hasselhoff.
We caught up with The Hoff and his daughter Hayley in Malibu yesterday -- and while we wanted to talk about David's recent troubles in London, he just wanted to talk ... through his dog.
Perfectly normal.

Brooke Burns took her newly re-found dog Max for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday.
Brooke's dog went missing last week, but was returned on Friday after it was found by Brooke's groomer's client's neighbor.
Some stories do have a happy ending.

Here's a tug on the heartstrings: Michael Jackson's kids saw a sad, two-legged puppy on the news ... and now they're trying to raise money to buy it new mechanical legs.
According to sources close to the family, Jackson's oldest son Prince and daughter Paris saw the dog -- a puppy named Scooby-Roo -- on the news recently -- and were so moved they decided to help raise the $2,000 necessary to buy it a custom-made cart to help it walk.
We don't know how close they are to their goal -- but seeing as they're the most famous kids on the planet, we're guessing it won't take them too long to reach it.

Brooke Burns is sad ... and one of you may be responsible.
Yesterday outside CNN, Burns made a heartfelt plea to our camera -- hoping the couple who was spotted snatching her Malti-Poo last Saturday might watch this clip and return him to Brooke and her 9-year-old daughter Madison.
Contact FindToto.com if you have any information on the puppy-napping.

It's a full-blown multiple missing Malti-Poo epidemic -- with yet another Hollywood starlet on a desperate search for her precious pooch.
Former "Baywatch" star Brooke Burns -- who was once engaged to Bruce Willis -- has posted signs around the Los Angeles area offering a reward for her missing dog Max. The "very friendly" Malti-Poo has been missing since Saturday.
As TMZ heartbrokenly reported, Jessica Simpson had to call off a massive search for her beloved Malti-Poo, Daisy ... after a coyote snatched the dog right before her very eyes.
Hopefully, Brooke will have better luck...

With all the coyote/football/general drama in her life, there's still one thing that can make Jessica Simpson crack a smile -- her hair.
Jessica's friends are reportedly worried she's at her "lowest point" after her innocent maltipoo was snatched by a vicious coyote -- but yesterday at LAX, Jess and her BFF/stylist Ken Paves were ready and willing to laugh about her locks.
As for that evil coyote -- that bastard is still out there ... lurking ... waiting ...

The dog Nick Lachey gave Jessica Simpson as a sign of their once undying love may have met a violent and tragic demise.
Daisy, Jessica's beloved "carmel colored" Malti-Poo, was snatched right in front of her eyes by a coyote last night.
Jessica has posted a missing dog sign on her Twitter page along with the following message:
My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!
It doesn't look good....
