I don't necessarily disagree with this, but is your statement opinion or fact?

She looks fine in those pictures. Everyone should really hold off from speculating until the autopsy results come in. Who knows what happened.
I spent today watching raw tape of her from our many, many shoots with her throughout the years, and it's heartbreaking. One of the shoots was us tagging along with her to Blockbuster video and it was very sad to see how much fun she was, running up and down the aisles, picking her favorite Oliver Stone movies, making jokes, etc. All the candid stuff that never made it to air. I've seen the blog rumors about her being difficult, but in everything I've seen and heard she just seemed like the nicest, most normal girl.
And who knows what was going on between her and her husband, but in every photo I've seen of them they're kissing and hugging and looking completely in love. So who's it for us to judge.

The world needs more hot chicks that have no standards as to how their man looks. I salute her for loving whatever quality she found attractive about that guy.

That video means nothing. Maybe she had the flu. Maybe she had a bad run of late and wasn't sleeping and lost weight.
And speaking as someone who has covered dozens and dozens of red carpets, people can look completely different on television and in photos than they do in person (and they look a lot different on the carpet than they do off it). I'm not saying she looks great in that TMZ clip, but I can guarantee she probably would have looked a lot better if she was standing in front of you.
I'm not saying her death wasn't drug related. But all this conjecture is tasteless. We don't know anything right now, except that the authorities are saying it looks to be natural.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
Give me a break. I've seen her act like a flake in many interviews and appearances over the years. Take the stars out of your eyes. Many in Hollywood knew she was a trainwreck and that's why her career went into decline.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
Right, your anecdotal experience from watching her on television and reading gossip blogs is light years ahead of my first hand experience of working with her and talking directly to people who knew her and filmed with her.
And FYI, apart from getting heckled by Robert Culp, I haven't had "stars in my eyes" for over a decade.

Bjacks I'll bet you ten dollars the toxicology report shows drugs in her system at the time of death. Actually you don't even have to pay me $10 if I'm wrong. I'll just send you $10 if I'm wrong.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
I just said three posts above "I'm not saying her death wasn't drug related." My point is this demonizing of her as some drug-crazed loon is ridiculous. As is picking and choosing photos and holding them up as some sort of proof of something. Is it too much to wait for the autopsy results without jumping to the worst conclusion possible?

Her dying of drugs doesn't seem like the worst possible solution, it seems like the most likely solution. Young celeb deaths are usually a result of drugs. Info I've read about her past makes it seem even more likely. The husband not wanting an autopsy makes it worse. I don't think its unreasonable to think OD or something drug related.

The notes say, "No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered."
According to the notes, "The night prior to her death, the decedent had consumed some noodles, leftover Thai food, Gatorade, water and tea with lemon."
The notes also say Brittany had a history of hypoglycemia and was hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while on location in Oregon."

I'll bet that after the autopsy results come back, the word "cocktail" will be thrown around.

It's like not getting the trailer in your dvd spec, ed.
It may seem like nothing but to collectors it is.

Re: Brittany Murphy dead at 32
Carbamazepine can be used to help people who suffer from neuropathy pain but that has very little to do with diabetes control. I suppose you can call it a symptom of diabetes... (I got it from unchecked type-1) but she'd be on insulin injections and have an entire slew of medical conditions that have yet to be mentioned anywhere.
It also helps amazingly well with migraines but doctors tend to not give it out for that because it have have serious side effects that can be worse then the migraines. What it actually looks like from that list is just a complex mix of uppers and downers that those connected to prescription medication addiction get tangled up in. Super sad. Maybe Doctor Drew will post something on this as it's starting to look like something down his alley.

OK, my guess is...
1. fatal arrhythmia due to an electrolyte imbalance caused by her days of vomiting and already depleted baseline anorectic state
2. drugs
3. ninjas
