Actress Brittany Murphy dead at age 32

Brittany Murphy November 10, 1977 - December 20, 2009

After going into cardiac arrest earlier today, actress Brittany Murphy died.  Brittany was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

This is truly a sad day.  I've enjoyed watching her character performances grow.

The most recent thing I've seen her in was the horrible Sci-Fi made for TV movie MegaFault which she starred in.

As soon as I saw she was starring in a movie that was made for the Sci-Fi channel I figured her career had to be in the toilet.

I had no idea she was having issues with her health.  I'd love to say rent it, but it really was horrible.

Thank goodness she has other films to be remembered by.  Here's the short list:

MegaFault (2009) Sci-Fi Channel Dr. Amy Lane

Deadline (2009) Alice Evans

The Dead Girl (2006) Krista

Just Married (2003) Sarah

8 Mile (2002) Alex

Girl, Interrupted (1999) Daisy Randone

Clueless (1996) Jasmine

Hudson’s Nephew Confirmed Dead

Jennifer Hudson, Oscar winning actress and singer, learned Friday of the death of her mother and brother. They were both shot in her mother's Chicago home. There is no specific motive, although the police believe it to be a domestic incident, and no one is in custody for it or charged with anything. They do have a person of interest, though.

However, the most pressing issue was that Hudson's nephew, seven year old Julian King, was missing, and had been missing since the shootings were discovered. Hudson offered a $100,000 reward for King's safe return and the boy's mother made a tearful plea to please return her boy; that he was an innocent child and had not done anything wrong.

Despite the plea and the monetary offer, the body of Julian King was found in an SUV that investigators feel is connected to the crime and that was discussed in the amber alert that was issued. There has not yet been word on how the boy died or how long he had been dead when the body was discovered.
