Brittany Murphy Dead At 32
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Brittany Murphy died on Sunday morning, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office has confirmed to Access Hollywood. She was 32.
According to the Coroner's Office, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Hollywood reported to them that an individual named Brittany Murphy died in the hospital on Sunday.

Just weeks ago, a smiling Brittany spoke with Access Hollywood at the Tt Collection Pop-Up Party in LA on December 3, where she discussed her hopes for the coming year.
"As far as having a New Year's resolution, I'd love to have a child next year," she said at the time. "But that's kind of a large one!"
The actress also spoke of her love for her family, whom she said she was very close to.
"I've been very blessed to have a really great loving husband," she said. "I spend more time with my family than anyone else in the world"
Brittany rose to fame after a memorable role in 1995's "Clueless." She went on to star in such films as "8 Mile," "Just Married," "Girl, Interrupted," "Sin City" and "Riding In Cars With Boys," among others.
She also made a splash in the music world with the track "Faster Pussycat Kill," with Paul Oakenfold in 2006 - the track topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart that year. She also sang a pair of songs for the animated film "Happy Feet," in which she was also a voice actress.
Brittany was married to screenwriter Simon Monjack, whom she wed in May 2007.
WORMS TRAP A CAR
A driver from Rotterdam was more than a little surprised when he discovered that his car had been mistaken for food by spindle ermine larvae and encased in a silken cocoon. The worms, which were munching on a nearby ermine tree, stripping it of its leaves, encase themselves in silk for protection from predators.
The car was still working and made its way to a nearby car wash for a good cleaning.
Blind Side
Just got done watching this movie. It is a very good show. I recommend everyone to come see this show. I don't care for football, in fact I hate football. But this is a great show. One of the best shows I seen in a long time. It hits ever emotion, laugh, anger, sad, cry and so on. :)
Before and After
Over history in life things change. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. When we as people were young we always try to out do others, family, and friends. Some of us when we were kids said I have a bike, one of our friends woulds say well I have a BMX bike. We always hated it that someone out did us. What we were so proud of someone always had to knock it down. Our parents always here us complain about so and so has this or they bashed on what I have. They always say just wait they will grow up and everyone moves on. But will that happen?
Even when we get older does it actually stop? I don't think it will ever stop even how old we get. Perfect example, cell phones some parents got one a lot did not. When cell phones were so big and expensive for back then. But they still are expensive in certain ways. But we always rub it in other people faces that we got one you did not. But as the years its rare to know someone who doesn't have one. So we think of other things to out do other people. Like we turn 16 we get a car and some don't. Then when we turn 18 and go off to college. Some are like I got into Harvard. Others say I got into Harvard but I cant afford to go.
It doesn't stop there. We get married, we have kids, we buy our first home. We show off what we have and now at this point we don't realize it hurts others for not having what we have. We now see that our kids are going through what happen to us.
Why didn't we stop showing things off when we know we want people to get jealous. We see our next generation doing it but we cant get upset cause they learned from us. So where is the after if things always repeat itself.
The Perfect family?
Every day we see families. Some times we see them and we are like what is wrong with them or we see them and wonder do they have any problems like I do with my family. What is it that makes a perfect family? A mom, dad, a daughter, a son, dog, nice house with a white picket fence in a great neighborhood? Or is it when we have only one parent lots of siblings, we have lots of ups and downs and we learn from our mistakes. Is that a perfect family, or is it a kid that has two moms or two dads and grows up knowing they are loved.
We are all guilty of acting like life is great or acting like all hell is breaking lose. What makes us who we are? Is it family, friends, or people who are always around us at work? Could it actually be us that make us who we are! Sure don't get me wrong our guardians who raise us help make us grow for the world when we get out on our own. But when people say or parents say i made them they way they are. I don't believe that. Some people in life are so sweet and kind and there parents are just ass holes that you want to put to sleep. But I do believe that people help you become who ever you want to be in life. Either that is with your perfect family or friends.
What it comes down to is judge people of what they have or judge yourself for being so bitter. Just try to make life what you want it to be or you will always be disappointed and never happy.
