Brittany Murphy's cause of death is not being re-investigated.
Despite new toxicology reports suggesting the Clueless actress may have been poisoned, the Los Angeles County coroner has announced there are no plans to re-open the case because they are yet to receive them, after the star died in December 2009. Her husband Simon Monjack died just five months later and both deaths were attributed to acute pneumonia and severe anemia; hers also involved multiple drug intoxication.
"The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner has no plans to reopen our inquiry into the deaths. We stand by our original reports. We have not been presented any [third] party lab test results for analysis, so we are unable to comment on publicized reports of private lab tests," Chief Coroner Investigator and Chief of Operations Craig Harvey told The Huffington Post in an email.
Brittany's father, Angelo Bertolotti, hasn't provided adequate documentation yet, after reportedly securing the release of the 32-year-old's hair, blood and tissues for independent analysis. The results are said to have shown the presence of 10 heavy metals commonly found in rat poison.

Amanda Bynes could soon have her day in court.
The 27-year-old actress has been deemed fit to stand trial after her DUI arrest (Driving Under the Influence) in 2012, despite being diagnosed as a schizophrenic with bipolar disorder.
"Amanda's case was in Mental Health Court this AM, and the judge read the court-ordered medical evaluation of the actress, and determined she is now competent to face the DUI charges. Amanda's lawyer, Rich Hutton, did not object to the findings so the criminal case - which was put on hold - will not go forward," a source told TMZ.
A conservatorship is being sought for the former Nickelodeon star who was originally scheduled to appear in court on September 24, regarding her April 2012 arrest in West Hollywood, but she failed to turn up and the case was pushed back.

Chris Hemsworth and his wife are expecting their second child together.

Fast & Furious 6 star Elsa, 37, is three months into the pregnancy and is due to give birth next spring.
Australian hunk Chris, 30, previously admitted having India with Elsa - whom he married in 2010 - was the best thing to ever happen to him, despite the challenges that go with it: "Being a father is certainly a task. But the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family, that's what it's about... It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."

Charlie Sheen to Cooperate with Child Services
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Charlie Sheen has agreed to "cooperate" with Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS).
The Anger Management star - who slammed the organization as "incompetent" after custody of his four-year-old twin sons Bob and Max was awarded to Scott Mueller, the brother of his ex-wife Brooke - feels "frozen out" of the boys' lives now they are no longer in the care of their temporary guardian, his former spouse Denise Richards, and knows he needs to "step up" to change that himself.
"He has finally recognized that if he wants to spend time with the boys, he'll need to cooperate with child protective services. Charlie stood on the sidelines as Denise became the temporary guardian of the boys. That meant that he had visitation almost everyday. Now that Bob and Max are with Brooke's brother Scott, he's been frozen out. He hasn't been able to see them. For that to change, Charlie needed to step up and participate," a source said.
