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

The celebrity death count is rising at a rapid pace this year. I think the Reaper might just hate celebrities. He doesn't even seem to care if they are barely celebs. He hates them all.

Paul Newman Dies at 83
Screen legend and philanthropist Paul Newman has died of cancer in Connecticut at the age of eighty-three. Those who knew him, talk not only about his acting ability but also about how important he was as a person.
Newman spent millions of dollars building camps for sick children, and he also created the Newman's Own food line, which donates all of its profits to charity. It has raised millions of dollars already, and undoubtedly will continue to raise millions more.
Newmans career spanned more than 50 years, and he will be missed by the acting community and the public at large for a long time to come. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Newman had humble upbringings and even had some trouble in his early life. His rebound to become such a huge star and give back so much to others was a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.
