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.

Nicole Richie Being Treated for Pneumonia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television,
Nicole Richie is back in the hospital, and it has nothing to do with maternity.
The reality TV star was recently admitted after a string of days feeling under the weather. “Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well,” Nicole’s rep said.
Over the weekend, the mother of two had spoken about not feeling well. She wrote on her Twitter page: “ok cold, it’s been 6 days. Lets part ways graciously & keep it moving.”
Earlier this week, Nicole was granted a restraining order against two paparazzi who she claims caused her recent car accident. The 28-year-old socialite appeared in court to testify how the two male photographers, Eduardo Arrivabene and Ivon Miguel, had been hounding her constantly. The judge ruled the two men are to stay 50 yards away from Nicole and her two children for the next three years.

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.
