Actress Brittany Murphy Dies at Age 32

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.

Okay - to be fair, I really have no idea why they chose the name. But it’ll always scream video game to me.
After what seemed like 18 months of pregnancy, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second child this afternoon. The baby boy, who weighed in at 8.5 lbs, was named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Yeah, you heard me right.
Zuma, who was born at LA’s famous Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, is the second son for the two musicians. Their other child, Kingston, turned 2 in May. (Gavin also has a teenage daughter, Daisy Lowe, from a previous relationship.)
Stefani, 38, and Rossdale, 42, have been married since September 2002.

Tori Spelling Gives Birth to Baby Girl
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: D-List, Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling popped out a girl at Cedars Sinai Medical Center (a.k.a. Celebrity Baby Factory) yesterday.
The baby, whose birth was easily and clearly overshadowed by Jessica Alba’s firstborn, is the second addition to the Spelling-McDermott household. Her very normal name (unlike Alba’s poor kid) is Stella Doreen McDermott, and the very rich baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 8 ounces.
The couple have much to celebrate lately, as Tori will be reprising her role on the CW’s Beverly Hills 90210 remake and preparing alongside her husband for their upcoming Oxygen show, Tori and Dean’s Home Sweet Hollywood.
