Actress Brittany Murphy Dies At The Tender Age Of 32!!

I cannot believe that Brittany Murphy has passed away!The actress & Ashton Kutcher's former girlfriend was just 32 years old.TMZ is reporting that the cause of death is cardiac arrest.

When I first saw Ms. Murphy,she was in the movie "Clueless".Her figure was much fuller back then.As the years progressed,Brittany became skinnier & skinnier.I hope that whatever caused that to happen was not the cause of her death.

All too often,celebrities are pressured to be as thin as possible.And I'm sure that Brittany Murphy was no exception to that unwritten Hollywood rule.

Here's more from TMZ:

"Brittany Murphy died early this morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived, multiple sources tell TMZ.

She was 32.

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.

We're told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Her time of death was listed as 10:04 AM.

Murphy starred in such films as "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word." Murphy was reportedly fired from last film, "The Caller," after reports she was problematic on set.

The Long Island 'Pet Cemetery' Defendant Is One Sick Puppy!

I know you have heard by now about the Long Island woman who tortured 42 animals & then buried them in her yard.Branded the "pet cemetery" defendant,Sharon McDonough will probably come to mind whenever someone even mentions animal cruelty.

You know,with all of the anger & outrage that was displayed in the media towards Michael Vick,it's surprising to me that I could only find two videos on this sadistic,evil murderer.It was from The Associated Press & My Fox NY.This woman is suspected of not only killing 42 animals,but she allegedly abused her kids as well!

Her own son even said that it was "a concentration camp for the animals." Why haven't we heard more about this sick puppy in the media? I guess since Michael Vick was a celebrity it was much more scintillating to talk about his case.

Here's more from ABC News:

"A judge ordered a New York woman held on $100,000 bail Friday after prosecutors cited evidence that some of the 42 dead animals buried in her yard had been tortured, with duct tape around their mouths or signs that they had drowned.

Sharon McDonough, 43, had been free without bail after her November arrest on misdemeanor charges, but she was taken away in handcuffs after her appearance Friday in Suffolk County Court in Central Islip.

McDonough faces "the likelihood of a felony indictment," said John Cortes, assistant district attorney. Authorities initially found 20 dogs buried behind her Selden home in early November; a subsequent search Dec. 8 uncovered another 22 dead animals.

Necropsies found evidence the animals had been abused, Cortes said.

"There are indications this defendant did kill these animals," District Judge Paul Hensley said in setting bail. "I believe the impulse to flee will become irresistible."

Defense attorney James D'Angelo said his client is not guilty and was shocked by the judge's ruling, and indicated she is unlikely to be able to post bail.

"I don't feel there was a significant change in circumstances," D'Angelo said. "She's made each and every court appearance. She's presumed to be innocent. I am very disappointed with the judge's decision today." (END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

The Sudden Loss Of Chris Henry Is So Tragic!

Chris Henry is the handsome but troubled NFL player who died in a domestic dispute.The sudden death of the Bengals receiver has shocked so many.And so far the circumstances of his demise are a bit murky.

Did he get thrown from the truck he was fighting in with his fiancee? Or did Chris Henry purposely jump from the vehicle as some witnesses have stated? Whatever the case may be,the fact that Chris Henry's life was snuffed out so early is very,very tragic.

Here's more from WLWT.COM:

"Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry died Thursday after a domestic dispute in Charlotte, N.C.

Police said Henry and his fiancée, Loleini Tonga, who lives in the area, had been arguing in the 800 block of Peachtree Road when Tonga tried to drive away in a pickup.

Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup and the couple continued arguing as Tonga drove, police said.

A 911 call that came in just after 11:50 a.m. Wednesday came from a woman who said she was following a yellow truck with a man in the bed.

"Got a black man on it with no shirt on, got his arm in a cast, he’s beating on the back of this truck window," the woman told dispatchers. "I don’t know if he’s trying to break in or something, just looks crazy."

The woman followed the pickup for a short distance, but did not follow when it turned onto another road.

Three minutes later, a man called 911 to say that there was a man lying in the road not moving.

"He looks dead. There's no movement," he said. "He's laying in the road. I have no idea what happened; we just pulled up here."

When the man was asked if the injured man was awake, he said "He's definitely unconscious. He's not awake."

Tree trimmer Lee Hardy told reporters Thursday that he was working in a tree in a yard near the road when he saw the pickup approaching "pretty fast."

Hardy said the pickup came to a quick stop at an intersection.

"And that's when I heard him yelling at her that he wanted to talk," Hardy said. "'We need to talk, we need to talk.'" Hardy said the woman inside was saying "No, I don't want to talk, get off the truck, get out of the truck."

As the truck pulled away, Hardy said he heard Henry say "If you take off, I'm going to jump out and kill myself."

Hardy said the truck disappeared from view and he went back to work on the tree. He said in the distance he heard the truck stop quickly, but thought nothing of it until police cars began arriving from both directions.

Police said Henry fell out of the pickup and landed in the roadway.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced that Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday.

Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further information. Harrington would not say if Tonga was present at the scene when police arrived."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
