Brittany Murphy, dead at 32

Wow. Brittany Murphy was DOA **early this morning** (latest reports) en route to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles after going into full cardiac arrest.

The troubled actress was rumored to have been fired from a film recently due to bad behavior onset in Puerto Rico. She was also the topic of suspected drug abuse and a supposed eating disorder. 

Brittany's husband, Simon Monjack was rushed to the ER three weeks ago after a possible "asthma-related" episode.
