I liked her in Sidewalks of New York, but haven't paid much attention to her career since then. Sad news to lose a life at such a young age. RIP

It really was expected though. You keep a lifestyle like that and it'll eventually catch up with you. I actually had her, Winehouse and Lohan in my personal death pool - although I really expected Lohan to go first.

No way that guy is a bodyguard. Look at his spindly little arms. He hasn't lifted anything bigger than a double cheeseburger in years.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32

A real pity, as I liked her in Happy Feet, she sang very well, RIP.

Man this year has been the worst year for celebrity deaths ever:

Ricardo Montalban
Patrick McGoohan
Natasha Richardson
John Hughes
Edward Woodward
Roy Disney
Dan O'Bannon

and now Brittany Murphy just to name a few.

Liked her in Spun and Sin City. Was disappointed to see what terrible plastic surgery did to her.

I wonder if people will be upset that Sly reportedly cut her out of The Expendables and/or criticize him for it, even though he supposedly did it awhile ago.

What's disturbing is how this seems to illustrate that in Hollywood, if you start to go on a downward spiral, people seem more likely to just let you spiral. I would hate to think she had become such a dislikable person that no one cared for her.

Funny that you list some lower profile celebrities there, and completely forget about the biggest celebrity death of the year: Michael Jackson

Unusual he doesn't want an autopsy. It's either a strong religious objection or he knows she was doing bad shit. Unless he tried to poison her.

Her role was removed at the scripting stage; she never actually shot anything for Expendables.

That was the movie I first thought of when reading about her demise (a great movie imho.) I hope that film was not, in actuality, the reality of her life (and thus the cause of her death.)

OK, I'll give you Rourke. I think Downey sold more newspapers on the way down than the way up, mostly by virtue of being so famous.

agreed. I do kinda wanna watch it again tonight in memory, but then again, since the movie deals heavily with addiction to drugs, maybe i shouldn't. I think the only other movie i have with her in it is Sin City, but her part was so small in that

That's a shame, because that was one of Abby Elliot's best bits.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32

All this talk about wasting her life and no one mentions the whole "natural causes" angle the L.A. Coroner revealed.

Typical.

Most of these posts are from long long before any of that.

Murphy Sick and Vomiting Just Before She Died

Brittany Murphy was very ill in the hours before she went into cardiac arrest and died, sources tell TMZ.

We're told Murphy was taking prescription meds for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days. We're told Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very ill.

Sources say various prescriptions were found in the home -- written for Brittany Murphy, husband Simon Monjack, and Brittany's mom. One source says, "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Law enforcement sources tell us Murphy collapsed in the bathroom and somehow ended up in the shower ... there was, we're told, a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area.

We're also told authorities did not find illegal drugs in the house, but Murphy was definitely taking various prescription meds.

Sources say her condition and the meds could have triggered a heart attack, but it's too early to know. An autopsy will be performed Monday or Tuesday. We reported earlier Monjack did not want an autopsy but ultimately it's the Coroner's call.

As we first reported, Brittany Murphy's mother told paramedics her daughter suffered from diabetes. We're told it was type 2 diabetes and people involved in the case doubt her condition caused her death.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32

Yeah the Diabetes angle the Mom threw out didn't sound right.

I thought Toxicology tests on bodies always take weeks? How is it they're saying "Natural Causes" so early on? Sounds like a Anna Nicole/ Michael Jackson situation with all the drug prescriptions.
