Brittany Murphy Dies at age 32

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Brittany Murphy, the bubbly, free-spirited actress who appeared in such films as "Clueless" and "8 Mile," died Sunday, apparently of natural causes, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said. She was 32.

She was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. PT Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Sally Stewart told CNN Radio.

An autopsy has not been scheduled yet, but Captain John Kades, a spokesman for the coroner's office, told CNN that there was no sign of foul play or trauma. He added that it's not unusual for a younger person to die of natural causes.

The coroner's office is looking into Murphy's medical history. A final report could take up to eight weeks.

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death, and robbery and homicide detectives will be at her home, LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said.

She dated Ashton Kutcher, who costarred with Murphy in 2003's romantic comedy "Just Married."

Kutcher sent a message on Twitter Sunday morning about Murphy's death: "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine," Kutcher wrote. "My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."

From a Tiger to a Bengal

The world of sports is delivered yet another blow. Now after coming off of a traumatic past few weeks of dealing with the whole Tiger Woods fiasco, we mourn the loss of Cincinnati Bengal's Wide receiver, Chris Henry. While experiencing a domestic violence situation with his fiance (the police have not released her name), Henry jumped into the back of the truck she was driving, fell out and sustained severe head trauma, and died at the scene in the roadway. At this time, police are not releasing any information as to whether or not the fiance stopped the truck and got out to help or be with him when he died, and the 911 tape is not being released.

Henry has seen his share of problems before and during his career in the NFL and what bites is that his kids no longer have their dad and that reports from friends and those close to him, say he was turning his life around. Henry was 26 and he and his fiance were raising 3 kids.

Oh Tiger...Poor Poor Tiger...

Hell hath no fury like Tiger Woods' wife! OMG
So, a Taiwanese news station put out this video of a re-enactment of the disturbance at the Woods' home that sparked much controversy as to what happened on the night police found lacerations on Woods' face and his vehicle smashed up...See if the re-enactment makes as much sense to you as it did to me!

Critics Blast Black Barbie...WHY????

She's beautiful, she's smart, she has everything going for her and she's black. I personally like her, yet critics blast Mattel's newest black Barbie Doll and my question is, WHY???

The news article I read said that critics are angry because of Black Barbie's "ethnic" features, but specifically her hair. The fact that the hair is designed to be curled or flat ironed angers people.


Firstly, if the doll came with a bucket of fried chicken, holding a child on each hip and a welfare check, I would be pissed. Secondly, if the doll was designed to have a beak of a nose and blue eyes, that would also be something to be up in arms about as well.

Where were the critics when Mattel came out with the Oreo Fun Barbie in 1997? Sure, there were a few out there who remembered that calling a black person an "Oreo," (a notion of someone being black on the outside and "white" on the inside) was a derogatory term used in the 1970's. Of course, Mattel took Oreo off the shelves, but the story didn't make news to my reccollection, I only knew about it because I was collecting Barbies around that time.

Anywho, Black Barbie comes with a positive message about her life and her achievement, depending on what her career is and in my opinion, she's stunning, she looks like us, and I think she's going to be a big seller for the Holiday season. Big ups to Mattel for getting it right, FINALLY.
