She hasn't been in one since Red Eye; The Time Traveler's Wife may or may not revive her career, but at this moment it's moribund.

I agree about Rachel McAdams. Haven't seen her in anything since Red Eye. I didn't realize Bridget Moynahan wasn't the one from Gone Baby Gone. Yeah, her career is done. She reminds me of Ashley Judd, who still shows up every now and then.

Yeah I forgot it was already 3 years since McAdams was the 'it girl' from Wedding Crashes, Red Eye, and Family Stone. Is it true she turned down Rachel Dawes in DK?

The Oakenfold song is Faster Kill Pussycat, which gets regular listening attention from this reporter. My guess is that she was so disgraced and fouled briefly being David Spade's girlfriend that she decided to drop out from society.

She's had a really crappy personal life and that's probably the reason why she hasn't worked that much recently. I saw that she's dated/been engaged to 4 different guys since 2005 including Ashton Kutcher.

I also believe that all the films she's been a lead in have been box office duds. I think she's damaged goods and no studio wants to give her a lead role.

Chicks still love McAdams, I swear I've never heard so many "Oooh! I Love Her!" comments as when the trailer for The Lucky Ones came on.

I think Brittany Murphy works only in movies that go direct to DVD or cable.

She will be in Sin City 2 though.

Yeah, shes got that going for her, as well as a couple of movies in each of the last two years. And she was one of only three good things about Sin City. I dug her in 8 Mile too.

I think Rachel McAdams is just gorgeous in Time Traveler's Wife and can't wait to see her again in Sherlock Holmes.

Re: What ever happened to Brittany Murphy?
She is what I call the 'flavor of the month' actress.She get loads of roles for about 3-5 years, everybody fawns over her looks, and she disappears because she really isn't that talented. I guarantee there will be a 'Whatever happened to Megan Fox' thread in about 2015.

^^ Brittany Murphy is Meryl Streep compared to Megan Fox, but yeah I get your point.

I like Brittany in her early roles in Clueless and Drop Dead Gorgeous. I couldn't stand her in Sin City either.

No one else noticed that she got nasty plastic surgery after Sin City? I thought that why she can't get big-time work because she messed up her face...

I don't think she looks that bad.

Brittany Murphy pre-surgery




Brittany Murphy in 2008






Brittany Murphy in 2009

Why so serious?

I liked her better pre-Sin City.

You know who I havn't seen in forever? She was never a particularly good actress, but she didn't look too bad, Mira Sorvino...

Dad is a much better actor, and gets more roles lol
