Brittany Murphy Dies

[Celt1997]

I don't understand why people keep referring back to "Clueless" regarding her appearance, etc. "Clueless" was 15 years ago... she was a teenager then!

We all change from when we're teens thru adults to senior citizens. To keep comparing her to 15 years ago seems pointless to me... Of course she's not going to look the same...

I was "pudgy" thru my teens too, but now as an adult I'm slim. I'm 5' 3", weigh 103 lbs am small boned and look thin. I would hope that my "baby fat" disappeared as I got older.

She was a celebrity... celebrities do the "botox" routine which explains lips, etc.

I would hope that once the truth comes out it'll clear up some of the confusion.

I don't think anyone is arguing that people change and can be thinner when they get older. But some of her friends/peers, etc. have been using words such as "frail and fragile," which conveys a lot more than just saying she was thin. It's almost like they were trying to make a distinction about her current weight/look.

And I posted a link a few pages back in which a director/writer? on one of her last projects said she apologized to him for her weight...she said it was something she was working on...or something to that effect.

Don't think this was posted...

Actress Kathy Najimy, who worked with her on the cartoon series King Of The Hill, paid tribute to her co-star yesterday as 'the sweetest, most talented angel' but added 'she got hooked up with wrong people'.

Maybe her husband is leaking for money now that he knows he may be cut out. I would not put it past him.

Coroner's office wouldn't be investigating the leak if her husband was the source.
Her husband as a person doesn't have to leak anything, he can give an interview and tell anything he wants.

Would anyone know if her Mom was living with them?
Or just visiting for the weekend?

I am starting to see rehash rehash...So I am EAGERLY waiting for the Autopsy....
I am reading, but i have nothing much to say till later.

Botox is mostly for wrinkles.

Info that the coroner's office would have, he would also. He would leak because to give the interview stating that stuff would not get him $$ and would make him look worse. Who knows...could be coroner's office...but that man would do anything for a dollar. IMO.

 

[songline]

He also says that she only had medications for her "female time." Well, if the TMZ report is correct (and since they are investigating a "leak" I tend to think it may be true), I can't imagine her taking all of those scripts for her period.

The general tone I get from around the globe about this guy is that he's not to be trusted.

And, after reading about him falling in "love" with her as a minor, his continuously calling her "baby" is really creeping me out.

I have had boyfriends call me baby", it never creeped me out
What freeks me out is that he is a con man moooching of her like Howard K Stern moooched of Anna.
And that their relationship was a hush, hush ...then "married" Because IMO if it was not a hush
someone who cares for her would have talked her out of this guy.

Doesn't creep me out when Hub calls me that either...kinda creepy though when he says "Our baby"...and to think he wanted her as a minor...just gets my hink up.

How would he get the investigator's report? Because that is what they are saying appears to have been leaked.

 

[Columbo]

A copy of a TMZ post...hope this is allowed..if not, please dete, as you wish, mods...thoughts?

It's in Russian...does anyone know Russian or is good with using an online translator...or does anyone feel like digging..I'm really busy today...but I thought it interesting and thought I'd post...

If it's true she was at the party, I bet someone somewhere has pictures on their cell phone --or there are press pictures--that can prove it.

bolded by me.

We do change as we age, but she looked like a totally different person from 15 years ago.

Info as to what medication was there and that she was put into the shower would be known by him. IF the media report is stating that this info came from the investigators report and only that report or there is a copy of the report in the media then I retract my opinion.

Brittany Murphy

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles hospital spokeswoman says actress Brittany Murphy has died. She was 32.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Spokeswoman Sally Stewart says Murphy died at 10:04 a.m. Saturday. She would not provide a cause of death, or any other information.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gale says crews responded to a call at 8 a.m. Saturday from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to British screenwriter Simon Monjack, who is married to Murphy. Gale says one person was transported to a hospital.

Messages left for Murphy's manager, agent and publicist weren't immediately returned.

The actress starred in such films as "Clueless," ''8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."

[butwhatif?]

Now, if they are opening an investigation that would tell me that the paper TMZ has is legit...




http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j4bGGqYT6CUoKCqFdiILDmD2QevQD9COGSEG0

Now, here is part of the TMZ scoop in question...


http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/22/britt...ack-sharon-rescue-effort-drugs-investigation/

So...I am left with doubts as to whose name the pills were in...the police officer, prior link, said they were all in Brittanys name...yet this investgative report seems to say otherwise...? Wait and see...I guess.

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

My sister uses this same medication (Propranolol) for a migraine variant that mimics MS. It goes by many other names (inderal here).
I remember seeing a video of Brittany saying that she can't eat chocolate because it gave her migraines, so we know it was something she suffered from.
Carbamazepine is also now being used as a preventative for migraines. From my knowledge is is not used in the treatment of diabetes- in fact it can cause diabetes:

Diabetes Mellitus was observed in a patient given carbamazepine. The diabetes improved when the treatment was discontinued and worsened on re-introduction

ETA: Need to correct myself here. Carbamazepine is used to treat diabetes insipidus.

Diabetes insipidus, sometimes called water diabetes, is a rare endocrine (hormonal) condition.Although similar in name to diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes), diabetes insipidus is a completely unrelated condition.
The symptoms of diabetes insipidus are an excessive thirst, passing large amounts of dilute urine and a general feeling of weakness.
It is important for people with diabetes insipidus to work with their doctors to accurately diagnose the severity of the condition and the underlying cause, and to decide on the form of treatment.

People with diabetes insipidus should wear some kind of medical identification, such as a MedicAlert bracelet.

Note that the dehydration associated with diabetes insipidus often causes migraines.
Even antidepressants are used to treat MG's.

Considering she was taking anti-inflammatories, and pain meds, my guess is they were all related to a migraine disorder.

Her hubby also mentioned(FWIW) that her meds were for her 'female time', and migraines and their variants are known to be exacerbated by hormones.....and stress which I'm sure she had alot of, especially with her problematic career of late.

If all of these rx's were in her name, it's a massive cocktail that when mixed could easily cause an OD.
But if they were all for a migraine disorder,they must have been pretty severe. I wonder if she had some other underlying disorder that was misdiagnosed as migraine or if it was a tragic case of the treatment causing her early passing.
I will always remember her scenes in clueless of 'rollin with my hommies'.:dance:
She was a sweetheart, and even though she lost her part as the voice of tinkerbell, she has her own set of wings now.
RIP Brittany.:blowkiss:

We do change as we age, but she looked like a totally different person from 15 years ago.

and she looked not just like someone with one area or the other sucked out... but rather emaciated... like it was her own doing. Sure plastic surgeons can assist along with a trouble area but overall emaciaton.. no way no how. She did that to her own self.

Combine any drugs or medication with that emaciation and you have some possible causes of death imhoo. (and also to include any drugs that were in her system at the time.. .they will come out soon enough)

 

[southcitymom]

If you took a picture of her from "Clueless" and placed it next to a current picture of Brittany (as they do in the link below), you'd never know it was the same person. It's as if she changed her DNA somehow! I remember the same thing happened to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy--not an actress, of course, but in the public eye--but she also supposedly got into drugs, became stick-thin, and altered her appearance tremendously. At the end she was almost unrecognizable from her college days.

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/g...n_photos/brittany_murphys_life_in_photos.html

She had a lot of cosmetic surgery too. It made me a little sad. She was young and attractive...I hated the thought of her changing her looks surgically to fit an industry "ideal."

Mom lived with Brittany and her husband for the past 3 years. She was under the same roof. So if the guy was as bad as some folks seem to think, I don't believe Brittany's mom would be able to stand being there. Just MOO.

Also, Murphy collapsed on the floor and was placed in the shower by her husband to try to revive her. I don't know, don't ya do that when you think someone has od'd or passed out? Maybe that was his first instinct.

According to the Coronor's office notes, Murphy's mother called 911 and Monjack "attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water ... The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics."

This article says she lived with them for 3 1/2 years. She must be completely heartbroken.
