: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that actress Brittany Murphy, famous for starring in "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word," has passed away.
Here is how TMZ is reporting it:
A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ.Geez Louise. How does a 32 year old die from a heart attack???We're told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Dang haven't we lost too many celebs this year. I wonder what's the husband's part in this. I was just watching Sister/Sister the other day and I didn't even remember her being on the show. I wonder how *** Kutcher is doing, since they used to date. 2010 has got to be a better year. When was her last movie? May she rest in piece.
@angelaheiressnyc I've to go on line to see what the movie Just Married was about. I know she did something similar to that with ***, but I can't remember the name of the movie. She did real good in that movie with Micheal Douglas. I'll never tell"! People loved that. I think it came on about a couple of weeks ago. She really transformed from that role in Clueless.
my fav movie of hers was bongwater with jack black...omg...it was so funny...yeah i mean this chick was like 90 lbs...*** idk about drugs...but i wouldnt be surprised...ppl dont just drop dead with no underlying cause...so just wait for the details...*** its not about color boo boo...i guess bm was just more liked thats all...anyway...may god welcome her sould HOME...my condolences to her fam *** friends...
I agree this should be the top story even tho she was white and this is a black site anyway i loved brittany murphy she was so funny and good in serious roles she did say once that she loved mountain dew and she did get very skinny very fast and stayed that way it may've been 2 much caffeine and diet pills but may she R.I.P. and my heart goes out 2 her family and friends
@nothingsweetaboutme: I beg to differ but many m.t.o bloggers had plenty of kind words regarding his death as they shared their thoughts/condolences & were disappointed of the outcome..No need to begin the whole rather typical,totally uneccessary race/color bait that goes on a daily here,especially on this thread,which has absolutely nothing to do with such!...c'mon
R.I.P Brittany this is so sad someone is dead and all u guys can do is argue this is why man is doomed to fail...we dont know how to look pass each others differences and be supportive of one another..nevermind race creed origin or any of that under Gods eyes we are all the same....as a singular person we are insignificant as 1 we are more than signinficant... wake up people
okay what ever no need to debate on my hair hell love weave just not wearing it in that pic but this is getting really young its sad u felt the need to get mad because ppl care about the passing of a great actress but good luck with all that pookie... true its sad were playing tit for tat when someone has just passed but I just felt the need to give a STFU *** out so that special lady

Man no offense but i agree with NOTHINGSSWEETABOUTME. I mean come one when the football player died no one talked about him, but when a white person dies its plastered all on the blog sites and news papers. No offense but it is a race issue. I mean look when Micheal died everyone talked about him, didnt no one talk about Farrah Fawcett. Alot of people make that excuse "Well, He was the king of pop" or "Are you crazy that man was a legend" but the truth is because the blog sites where thirsty. Thirsty to know that mans secrects. All up in his business. I mean look at how many stories MTO posted
So when you think about it it is a race issue, I mean what about Farrah Fawcett y dey wasnt all up in her business. Just like criminals, when the criminal is black they post it on the news almost everyday but when a white dose a crimes they flash it one time and on to the next story. I agree with her, Its time for us blacks to wake up *** smell the coffee, cuz it still exist, just in small bits and peices. They cant mess with us Physically, so they *** with us Mentally
@NOTHINGSWEETABOUTME. NO ITS NOT CUZ SHE IS WHITE ALOT OF PPL ARE SAD AND SHOCKED. ITS BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY A CELEB SHE WAS FAMOUS. AND ALOT OF HER KNEW HER FROM CLUELESS (WHICH CAME OUT WHEN I WAS 8 BY THE WAY IN 1995) SO SHE HAS BEEN KNOWN LONGER TO PPL THAN CHRIS HENRY. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW OR HAVE HEARD OF CHRIS HENRY PRIOR TO HIS DEATH. MOST *** ONLY KNOW HIM. AND I BET MOST *** CAN'T EVEN SAY THEY HEARD OF CHRIS HENRY SINCE 1995!!! SO THATS WHY THIS SHOULD BE TOP STORY NEWS AND PPL ARE TAKING HER DEATH A BIT MORE SERIOUS GIRL. BUT REGARDLESS DEATH IS AND IS SERIOUS PERIOD!!!
bravo to Keepemguessing and to small brain im not at all mad u dont effect my life in ANY way so big ups to u for trying but i find u funtee and cute a pie for being so simple and trying to go in on my hair when its looking lilke slik so i must have done something right... And te point is ppl did have nice things to say bout him so u sound really *** stupid calling the race as a whole sell outs and its sad his wrap *** had to come up with in moments of his death and if i had saw that they could get the same STFU as u trick

@NOTHINGSWEETABOUTME: OKAY LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION: IF WE ARE SELL OUTS, AND THEY WHITE MEDIA PAYS MORE ATTN TO ALL WHITE CELEBS DEATH? THEN WHY IS MICHAEL JACKSON STILL PRAISED, MOURNED, TALKED ABOUT, AND EVEN WORSHIPED BY WHITE AND BLACKS??? SOME WHITE PPL ARE JUST AS SHOCKED AND SAD OF HIS DEATH JUST LIKE SOME BLACKS!!! AND YOU CAN'T SIT HERE AND TELL ME HE DIDN'T GET MORE ATTN, FAME, MEDIA NEWS, FOR HIS DEATH, EVEN TODAY AND FOREVER MORE!!!!! SO ITS IGNORANT TO SAY ITS A RACE FACTOR. EVEN WHEN RICK JAMES, GREGORY HINES,BARRY WHITE AND LUTHER DIED THAT WAS MORE THAN B MURPHY!!!
Man, "Clueless" is like one of my all time favorite movies... I can't believe that I just logged on and found out that she had passed away. I think she was a great actress with perfect comedic timing. Loved what she did for "King of the Hill" as the voice of Luanne. Regardless of what caused her cardiac arrest (drugs, eating disorder, whatever), she will still be missed dearly. My heart goes out to her family and friends. RIP Brittany Murphy!!!
I HEARD A WHILE BACK THAT SHE WAS A COKE HEAD AND IT ONLY MAKES ME WONDER NOW SINCE SHE WAS ONLY 32 YEARS OLD AND DEAD FROM CARDIAC ARREST! RIP BRITANNY AND I HOPE THIS CAN BE A LESSON FOR OTHER YOUNG ACTRESSES OR ENTERTAINERS LIKE LINDSEY LOHAN OR ANYBODY THINKING ABOUT USING ESPECIALLY IF THAT IS WHAT CAUSED HER DEATH.
Brittany Murphy's Husband Doesn't Want Autopsy Posted Dec 20th 2009 5:47PM by TMZ Staff
Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, told hospital staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center he did not want an autopsy performed on his deceased wife, multiple sources tell TMZ.
We're told, however, despite Monjack's wishes, the L.A. County Coroner's office will perform an autopsy on Murphy. As we first reported, Murphy went into cardiac arrest this morning and could not be revived.
TMZ has also learned Brittany Murphy's mother, who found Murphy unconscious in the shower and called 911, told paramedics her daughter had a history of diabetes. We have not been able to confirm if Murphy did indeed have diabetes, and if so, whether it contributed to her death.
UPDATE 8:00 PM ET -- Ed Winter from the L.A. County Coroner's Office tells TMZ foul play is not suspected at this time. Some prescriptions were found in the house, but he wouldn't say what kind, and they will be examined as well. Toxicology tests will be performed, which could take up to six weeks.

smh@dis idiot MsSweetSmoke...u think cuz someone is 32 yrs old that means they died from white powder drugs...u ignorant stupid ***....anybody with a blockage or irregular heart beat can die from a heart attack.....and im 24 with a blockage and a irregular heart beat....u think about that u dumb ***
MediaTakeOut, you all really sound ignorant to even ask the question "How does a 32 year old die of a heart attack?" For one a heart attack does not require a certain age. She could have easily suffered from some type of heart disease that she was oblivious to. Remember, heart disease is the number one killer in the United States...The point is just stop being ignorant!!!
God bless her soul. I hope she really believed in God deeply, it would be a shame for her soul if she didn't. I remember when she first started she was thick, then she became extremely skinny, to the point of unhealthy looking or on drugs. I hope she didn't fall into the notorious demonic trap of Hollywood.
Cardiac arrest can happen at any age from children to elderly. If you have arrythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) you could possibly go into cardiac arrest at any moment. But then again drugs, such as cocaine are known for causing cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is when your heart basically stops or beats abnormally, like it's quivering and not pumping blood.
O yeah millionaire 1982 there is nothing as magnificent in this world as a black man from head to toe he is truly an image of perfection. No one can do it like a black man but u already kno this that is why you said what u said. A black man broke you down that happens dont miss dinner because lunch gave u a tummy ache.
