Drugs and Self-Destruction: The Dark Side of Hollywood
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Child Stars, Drugs, Obituaries, Where Are They Now?
Fans woke up Wednesday morning with the sad news that 1980s teen icon Corey Haim died during the night. Unfortunately, this headline is not uncommon…nor is the sad story that sums up the once-promising actor’s young life. Perhaps best known as Corey Feldman’s frequent co-star, Corey Haim was once one of the most popular stars in the country. During his heyday of The Lost Boys, License to Drive and Lucas, Haim captivated hearts - and casting directors - with his trademark smirk and level gaze. It’s too bad that, at the same time, substance abuse captivated him.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Clothing, Red Carpet, Style, Obituaries
Fashion guru Alexander McQueen was found dead on Thursday morning in his London residence.

Scotland Yard has officially stated it is not treating the event as a suspicious death, though reports are circulating that the designer committed suicide. According to the statement, McQueen’s family “has asked for privacy in order to come to terns with this terrible news, and we hope the media will respect this.” Today, the fashion world is very dark indeed.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Obituaries
“How did it happen?” Simon Monjack demanded in a recent interview (which took place only two days after his wife Brittany Murphy passed away). Speaking on behalf of Murphy’s family, he said, “We want to know why we lost our baby.”
“I look forward to getting the results,” Monjack said of the autopsy, a procedure he found emotionally painful but necessary. He also told People magazine that Murphy did have a heart murmur. “There was nothing here that could endanger her,” he said, describing few prescription medications inside their home.
The night before Murphy died, she and husband Simon Monjack ate Thai food and watched Public Enemies, It’s Complicated and The Princess and the Frog.
Funeral plans for Brittany Murphy have not yet been finalized.

Brittany Murphy, 32, recently passed away from cardiac arrest. To be technical about the matter, everyone actually dies from cardiac arrest. The heart stops, the body dies. The big question is, what stopped the heart? In Murphy’s case, friends and fans are still clueless.
The LA County Coroner’s Office has completed the autopsy, but the results are under wraps while doctors wait for toxicology reports to be completed. These results won’t be available for several weeks. So far, no memorial plans have been made for the actress.

Actress Brittany Murphy Dies at Age 32
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Obituaries, Rumors
UPDATE: A coroner’s official says Murphy may have died of natural causes.
Actress Brittany Murphy, best known for her work on 1995’s Clueless, was pronounced dead today in Los Angeles. She was only 32.
According to reports, Murphy was discovered unconscious by her mother in her shower. A call from the home of Simon Monjack, Brittany’s husband of 2 1/2 years, was made around 8:00 AM.
Paramedics attempted to revive the 8 Mile star who had apparently gone into cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Although Brittany has not starred in any big screen hit in some time, she had been the subject of recent tabloid talk. In late November, Murphy was replaced on a film being shot in Puerto Rico. It was rumored that that Brittany and Simon’s questionable behavior - including possible drug use - was behind her dismissal. This recast lead to an SNL skit on December 5. (You can view that clip after the jump.)
