Mike Tyson said his recent acting gigs have helped him cope with the loss of his daughter, Exodus, whose death he described as a "dark moment" in his life.
The boxer's recent cameo in the surprise summer hit The Hangover and an upcoming guest-part on Fox's new sitcom Brothers helped him deal with his pain, according to Entertainment Tonight. Tyson's 4-year-old daughter died in May after she was found unconscious and wrapped in a cord hanging from a treadmill.
"I really was beating myself up over my daughter," Tyson said. "I was staying in the house, depressed; it was a dark moment in my life. This keeps me functioning as a healthy human being."
Tyson said he's ...

What does Mike Tyson think about? Rising from a difficult childhood to global fame as the world's youngest heavyweight champion and finding notoriety outside the ring — including a 1992 rape conviction, drug abuse and the tragic loss of his 4-year-old daughter this week — the man once known as "Iron Mike" is difficult to decipher. In the documentary Tyson, director James Toback offers a striking portrayal of the icon in his own words, exploring everything from his early years with trainer Cus D'Amato, to his darker times during marital problems with Robin Givens, the ear-biting of Evander Holyfield and the three years in jail that changed him forever.
Using a split-screen style, audio looping and hands-off interview technique, Tyson is a visually compelling glimpse at an enigma. As the film goes wide in theaters, TVGuide.com spoke with Toback about his long friendship with Tyson, why he made the film at this juncture and what he thinks of the media's view of the boxing champ variably as a hero and a monster.

Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, is on life support after an accident involving home exercise equipment, police said.
Exodus Tyson's 7-year-old brother found her on a treadmill with her neck caught in a cord that dangles from the console of the machine, police told The Associated Press. Exodus' mother removed the cord, called police and tried to revive the girl.
Exodus was rushed from her Phoenix home to a hospital where she was in "extremely critical condition" and on life support, police Sgt. Andy Hill said. Mike Tyson had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately when he learned of the accident, Hill said.

A few things to be thankful for today:• The courts are starting to really toughen up on drunk drivers. On Wednesday, Mike Tyson was released from the pokey after serving a way longer sentence than Lindsay Lohan. He was behind bars for a whole 24 hours. • TBS' premiere of Mad TV impressionist Frank Caliendo's Frank TV late-night skit show drew 2.9 million viewers — delivering better demos, the cabler crows, than even Leno and Letterman. Which can only mean the far superior Stephnie Weir will be getting her own series any day now.• Laura Branigan is making a comeback, the New York Post reports. Fans of the "Self Control" singer, who died three years ago, have demanded the rerelease of three of her out-of-print albums, and in January, their wish will come true. So would now be a good time for me to start campaigning for Strawberry Switchblade to finally come out in the US? — Ben Katner

Anything for a buck, right? Having put in a guest appearance on a fellow class act's reality show, Being Bobby Brown, Mike Tyson wants a series of his own, the New York Daily News reports. The boxer even recruited daughter Mikey (a designer of plus-size fashions) and her gal pal Nathalie (aka Don King's daughter) to humiliate themselves alongside him. Meanwhile, the News adds, celebreality mainstay Brigitte Nielsen is developing a new program in which she'd run — wait for it — a male e$cort service. The working title? Stud Farm. Yes, indeed, anything for a, um, buck.
