http://trueslant.com/lisatodorovich/2009/12/20/actress-brittany-murphy-dies-at-32/ sorry it's not a clicky.. That's so sad though!! If it's true! She was only 32... 

i just read that too! very very sad 

Yea since I posted it, CNN and NBCnews has confirmed it true. I really hate to say it (especially since she is at the top of my list of favorite actresses) but I hope this proves something to Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Zoe and Courtney Love. Anorexia is a killer... She is right up there with Heath Ledger for me on the shock scale.. I remember being like 8 or so and watching Clueless for the first time:( 

Anorexia is a killer... Anorexia and/or drugs. It's too early to say, but it clearly wasn't from natural causes. 

Anorexia and/or drugs. It's too early to say, but it clearly wasn't from natural causes. It may not be likely to be natural causes but it's always a possibility. Heart problems can go undetected for years. Especially in young women. 

It may not be likely to be natural causes but it's always a possibility. Heart problems can go undetected for years. Especially in young women. True, but Perez Hilton wrote that her friends (which include him, I believe) have seen this coming for awhile. She also hasn't been in a big movie in ages, so it makes me think something else was going on.

She also hasn't been in a big movie in ages, so it makes me think something else was going on. Because everything that leech says is true. F*ck Perez Hilton and f*ck you for giving "it's" website hits. 

No gossip site is ever 100% true, but he's friends with a lot of young people in Hollywood and he's usually right on this kind of stuff. I'm sure you're a closet Perez fan :) 

Reminds you how important being healthy is. 

Anorexia is a killer... I didn't read anywhere where it said she had anorexia. 

She was recently fired from a movie called The Calling or The Caller or something like that because of her attitude on set I believe. She has been out of the spotlight since marrying that very "odd" husband of hers and LAPD is bow investigating if there was foul play. I said anorexia because in the past few years she was in the tabloids for losing alot of weight and they mentioned a possible cocaine addiction...I do not believe everything I hear until they do the autopsy. The one thing that CNN mentioned that shocked the absolute hell out of me was that apparently her mom found her unconcious in the shower..that's very very sad. And I'm with OTR. Never have liked Perez, never will. He was one of the first today (at about 4:00 this morning our time when the story broke) that said a snide comment about maybe she should have eaten a Big Mac instead. I agree that since he is friends with most of young Hollywood his stories are alot of the time accurate but he shouldn't make comments like that, he should have respect for her and her family. Anywho, just wanted to see if yall had heard.

I agree. I don't agree with most of what he says, but when something like this happens, he generally knows what is going on first. The Big Mac comment must be gone because I didn't see that on there. 

It's sad when you make it big, have it all but yet abuse your life. She was a great actress and also had an amazing voice. Also, she has been doing voice overs. Remember she is Luanne on King of the Hill. And also a voice in Happy Feet. I don't think it was anorexia. She got skinny because of drug use. But we all should find out soon the reasoning behind it. 

Holly, you're right. It's sad to see anyone die but to die so young is that much worse IMO. And I loved her in Happy Feet. Never saw her in King Of The Hill (my husband watches it more than I do).. I think my favorites were Girl Interrupted, Just Married, Dont Say A Word and of course Clueless:) 

And I'm with OTR. N I'm not OTR 

And I'm with OTR. N I'm not OTR 

Ooooo I just looked and I guess I read that too fast. I thought OTR posted that at first..Nevermind, I'm with DL.. Sorry Llama:) 

Sorry to confuse OTR:) 

Maybe she died from drinking eggnog or eating pecan pie. Just heard on Dr. Oz that both clog your arteries and can make them not function well for up to 6 hours. 

Jeeeez!! Now I can't have my pecan pie?!? What the hell is the world coming to:( 

Maybe she died from drinking eggnog or eating pecan pie. Just heard on Dr. Oz that both clog your arteries and can make them not function well for up to 6 hours. well i'm good to go then, i hate both. they're disgusting. IMDB.com says she has 4 or 5 new movies that were coming out. Anorexia causes cardiac problems, or it's possible she had a minor problem already and whatever drugs or anorexia problem she may have had, would have exacerbated that. i never saw anything about her being anorexic... and there are a lot of reasons a person could be underweight like that, not just anorexia. 

I think its sad to hear just because a famous person is a little under weight, everyone assume they have an eating disorder. Did you know she suffered from Type 2 diabetes? Just a little adjustment of insulin and you gain weight, not enough insulin you loose weight like crazy... This could have played into effect a few years ago Diabetes isn't hard to control but when your young you don't stop and think about how much sugar is in a drink.. or how much carbs is in certain foods... Before you judge know what else could have been going on.. She could have had an eating disorder and did major drugs but its all hear say.. 

Yeah you're right..But she admitted to having a cocaine problem. I mean, that can kill you too and make you very skinny. It all goes hand in hand.. 

Did you know she suffered from Type 2 diabetes? Unfortunately, that isn't the type of thing people care about. You can read 100 different articles and they will probably give you 100 different reasons for her death. This thread is a perfect example of people always assuming the worst of others. Tis the season, my a$$.
