OMG, that’s crazy…she was so young! R.I.P, damn, I remember that girl from Clueless…

May the LORD rest and bless her soul, and bless her family.

damn that is really sad. death knows no age. just be ready when it comes for you. i met her when she came on board the uss nimitz in 2003. may she rest in peace.

OMG…How, what happened? I saw this girl on TMZ last wk on TV when they were making fun of her husband.My prayers go out to her family…She’s too young.RIP Girl.

FIRST!!! RIP BRITTNEY

That’s crazy! It sounded so sudden! May she rest in peace…

It is suspected that she dealt with an eating disorder, which causes a lot of wear and tear on the heart and body. This is sad and pray for the family.

blessing to the family!

wow, she was way too young to die. I wonder if it was drug related…

R.I.P. May god bless the family

@NINO BROWN, U are 1 ignorant MF! A straight peice of SHIZZ!

I didn’t know she had breast cancer, Word. That’s so sad! I loved that show.

Alaina Reed? Dont be belittling Britany’s death with some unknown dead b*i*t*c*h that n*o*b*o*d*Y knows or care about.

NOOOO she was one of my favorite actresses of all times. Why ol why?

That is so crazy!! What is going on in the world?? She was really talented R.I.P hunny…n to the fool b4 me shut the f@#k up cuz u soundin real dumb right now!! Karma is real n ur not funny!! How many award nominated films you been in?? Oh okay that’s what I thought!

Sydney – yes she did girl. Not too long ago, I saw a cancer special on TV One and she was on there. Isn’t that sad. I loved the show too, girl!

She is too young for this mess- May she R.I.P

@Word

Wow, this has been some year. I think it’s the Academy Awards show that gives a tribute every year to people who have passed, and I think the number this year has been extraordinarily high (or it seems that way, IMO). Of course, many of us don’t know these celebrities personally, but it’s still sad to see such talented individuals leave this life, and at such young ages as well. You just never know when your time is going to come.

I wonder if i can get dibbs on her christmas presents. I bet i can get a hansome ransome on ebay for them. A n*i*g*g*a gotta get paid.

@Nights Over Egypt

Yes, same here. It was a very sad summer for me.

Yeah Sydney. There does seem to be more deaths this year than anytime before. I actually love to see the “In Memoriums” during the awards show. Sometimes you see people you didn’t even know had died. The biggest shock for me was Michael’s death. Girl, that hit home. Having grown up with that him. Whew!

Yep, we never know when our time is coming.

wow, she didn’t even get to see 2010, rip

RIP WE WILL MISS U

I really liked her…

She was so beautiful.

God Bless

I am SO SORRY to hear this. How sad. I don’t know if she did drugs or anything. But, I have read that people who suffer from anorexia or are severely underweight can suffer from heart attacks. The reason is that when the body is not getting sufficient nutrients/calories from the diet, it will use its own tissues for energy. The goal of weight loss is for the body to use the excess fat tissues stored on the body. However, the body will also consume its own protein (muscle mass) for energy. The heart is a muscle. The difference between heart muscle and your quadriceps (for example) is that you can build up your quadriceps via exercise, but you cannot do the same for cardiac muscle (I read this elsewhere. I think it’s true, but now I’m wondering because some EXTREMELY obese people have enlarged hearts.) Anyway, I read about a woman who recovered from anorexia, and she said that though she is now healthy, her heart is still weakened from the tissue she lost during her illness. That’s why we should have a focus on being HEALTHY not SKINNY because you can die from being too thin as well. God bless her family.

in regards to alaina reed from 227 (which by the way was one of my shows, mmhmm!) i’ve notices that a lot of black folks are being diagnosed with cancer or dying because of cancer. my uncle passed away last month from it. though i think it was just family drama that may have put stress on his heart and took him away. and his daughter had a bout with breast cancer and survived.
i’m not saying this because i think cancer doesn’t affect black people but it just seems like too many of us are having to deal with it. maybe it’s because i’m getting older so i’m becoming more aware but it still seems a bit strange.

Ms. Reed, R.I.P.

@Word

I like that segment of the Oscars as well, although it always seems to tug at my heart strings. Like you said, I often see faces of people I hadn’t realized were no longer with us.

Girl, the day that MJ passed will definitely stay with me for quite some time. I, too, grew up on his music, and I felt like I lost part of my childhood. It was a massive shock.

@Nights Over Egypt – Jamaican Sunrise,

I’m sorry to hear about your uncle’s p.a.s.s.i.n.g. I offer my condolences. My grandmother and aunt died of cancer. It runs in my family.

Ya know, sometimes I think it’s the hormones and additives in our food that might contribute to the cancer diagnosis because I know people whom have taken great care of themselves. They eat right, don’t smoke, etc., yet they get cancer. Hmmmm.

Again, I’m sorry for your loss, and I hope the family drama has ceased.

@Nights Over Egypt

Yes, African Americans tend to suffer disproportionately from cancer and other diseases. Breast cancer, in particular, has a higher rate of fatality among black women (who tend to be diagnosed later, which hinders their treatment), and it has been an issue in my family for years.

@Word

I’ve seen “This Is It” twice as well, and I still listen to his music every week. I totally concur with you — Michael was an absolute genius. And, I guess, part of me did think of him as invincible — In fact, the day of his death, a friend of mine called me to tell me that he had been taken to the hospital, and we talked about all the close calls MJ had over the years. I really thought that he was going to bounce back. When I was told by a co-worker that he had passed, it was like a dam burst inside me. I couldn’t believe it.

In regards to Brittany, I know she’s probably best known for her roles in “8 Mile” and “Clueless,” but I thought her performance in “Girl, Interrupted” (which featured Winona Ryder, and Angelina Jolie won a Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance — Whoopi also appeared in the film) was one of her best, IMHO. I think she infused her acting with emotion, and she came across as sincere and unassuming. I think in some ways, she was underrated, and that’s part of what makes this loss so sad.

IT’S C*CAINE PEOPLE! C*CAINE!Any time a young person in good health has a massive heart attack, that’s the cause! Every time… Trust.

@Sydney -

Girl, it was very surreal to me too. I remember finding about his condition online and then turning on CNN. The first report I heard was that he had died, but I couldn’t find confirmation anywhere online. As a matter of fact, I was on the phone taking care of business for my mom and told the lady that MJ had died. She almost fell out her chair. We were both online looking and found out he was rushed to the hospital, and then the horrible news dropped. He died. Girl!!! I was like, NOOOOOO! You’re right – we always think they will bounce back. The same with Tupac. I didn’t think he was going to die either. We’ve lost a lot of greats over the years.

*PRAYERS*

She was extremely talented and I too loved her performance in Girl Interrupted…She also did the voice of a character on one of my favorite animated series King of the Hill(she did the voice of the clueless neice LuAnn)…RIP Brittany you will be missed…

Wow this post is getting deep especially about Michael Jackson death,whew boy.On to the next post!

Let the Winter Solstice festivities begin
May the Lord be with her.

*from other continents, from Europe to Asia*

I wish I were dead.

@Word

“When you saw, This is It” didn’t you want to jump up, start singing and dancing in the aisles!”

I did, girl. I started singing along with him, but I had to fight back the tears as well. I couldn’t believe it was the last time I would see him perform. It would have been an unforgettable show. He still had the magic — He never lost it.

sydney

*Perhaps the lesson in all of this sudden loss is that we should express our love to the people around us while we can*

You right, so in keeping in that spirit, i want to f*u*c*k u before your body gets cold. Lets make this happen.

RIP

Well, I think I’m going to try to venture out into the snow. Thanks for the conversation, ladies. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

There’s nothing funny about the pain death causes to a family. Prayers and well wishes to her family a friends.

@Sydney -

Yes, that was the beginning of Michael’s problems. I, too, hadn’t see the footage of his hair catching fire, and didn’t want to for a long time. He had third degree burns so I can imagine the pain he experienced.

I couldn’t of said it better, Sydney, about how Michael touched every part of the world from children to the adults, from every corner of the world. There will never, ever be another Michael. Remember at the beginning of “This Is It” how the dancers talked about what a dream it was to be able to work with him. The emotion was so strong. Can you imagine how they felt when Mike died.

For some reason, Sydney, we just don’t want to believe they will die. We know they are human (and I’ve never been one to worship celebs and never will), but there is a sense that maybe deep down, we do think they are invincible, but they are flesh and blood with frailties like the rest of us.

Bye, Sydney! Be careful out there, sweetie. It’s been nice chatting with ya.

sydney

Dang woman, you want to f*u*c*k in the snow? You’s a kinky little freak.

========================================
I can’t add one word to this. You are 100% right!

Wow….great actress…you could tell she kept 100 all the time…going to be missed ….my condolences go to her family God Bless

I LOVED her as an actress… Still remember most of the words to Clueless. Rest In Peace.

She had a beautiful spirit. She will be missed.

Damn, I stop blogging on here, but had to comment. I like Rolling with da Homies!!

I don’t trust her husband.

What healthy person dies at 32 from a heart attack? Think there’s more to this story…

“rolling with the homies!!!’ yeah that was my ish r.i.p brittany way 2 young 2 die

and on another note all this talk about MJ is about to make me cry!!! i still cant believe hes gone

RIP actress Brittany Murphy. I cannot believe it!

DAMN THATS CRAZY. I REMEMBER HER FROM CLUELESS(THE RED HEAD) AND SIN CITY. SHE WAS GOOD IN BONGWATER TOO. LIFE IS SHORT. WAY TOO SHORT. GLAD THIS YEAR IS OVER AND WE CAN START A FRESH CLEAN SLATE.

hehe…rolling with tha homies was hilarious. and yo when she was stuck in traffic behind some old lady she stuck her head out the window “hey! move it old lady!” i was crying the way i was laughing.

Hey Sydney!!! This is sad,I hope that it doesn’t have anyting to do with drugs.

oh my gosh can’t believe this I was always waiting for to get the roles she really deserved, she actually could sing real well too.I always thought and wanted them to make a live action version of betty boop and thought she would have been perfect for the role.her voice and her personality would of just lit the stage up like she did in life.just shows you that sometimes the most happiest looking people can be the most vulnerable and the ones in the most need of help.RIP

Wow, God rest her soul, so young, she seemed like a sweetie, Keep her family in your prayers

RIP Brittany Murphy….gone wayyyy too soon!!!!

May she r.i.p… I loved her in “Uptown Girls”. Live and love life and don’t take it for granted yall becuase you never know when it will be over.

oh no!!!
i loved her in uptown girls. she is so cute! this is terrible

Everyone dies of Cardiac Arrest. But I wonder what the cause of her cardiac arrest was. Only the autopsy will tell.

her?yeahher

Why’re you being so mean? It’s Sunday, the sabbath.

This is just beyond unbelievable. I was so saddened and left in disbelief when I heard earlier. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. She has been casted in the role of an angel now.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death this beautiful actress. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family during their time of mourning.

2 many*

&& she was sooo young
R.I.P

@janae

RIP Brittany Murphy

Merry Christmas 2 you Brittany Murphy!!!

rest in peace

very sad. i really enjoyed her work as well as alanna reed’s. at least they succeeded in their craft. i loved sesame street and 227 and brittany in girl interrupted and clueless.wow.

i hope this raises eating disorder and cancer awareness. people need to stick to the mediterranean diet. after my second child, i went from a 16 to a 6, sometimes 4. its delish and u wll have no body fat. its the diet god gave us. i swear if u get on this diet, u will never want to eat processed food again. mediterranean meals taste incredible! unnatural systematic deaths have to do with DIET.

May the lord lead these ladies and all the other deceased through a happy death to everlasting life…

Just really sad!

R.I.P.

2009 has been a bad year for celebrities. This is so sad. May she RIP. I loved her in Clueless and thought she was wonderful in Girl, Interrupted. What a shame. I guess we’ll find out more in the coming days on why she died.

Too young too soon..R.I.P

So sad. I remember first seeing her in Clueless and Sister, Sister. She always seemed genuine and down-to-earth. I wish her peace and condolences to her family. It’s hard to lose someone especially around the holidays.

R.I.P BRITTANY …

i loved her role in 8 mile my heart goes out to her an her family i wish i could get a hold of marshel to tell him i pray for him hope he dont do nothing stooped an get in trouble rip

Another one gone too soon. Life is too precious so live everyday to the fullest.
RIP Brittany!!!

WHAT ALANIA REED P-A-S-S-E-D? ITS A D-A-M-N SHAME WHEN THESE SO CALLED URBAN BLOGS DON’T COVER URBAN CELEBS! TOO BUSY KEEPING UP WIT THE W-H-O-R-EDASHIANS I GUESS!!!!

RIP MISS MURPHY! U WASN’T HERE LONG BUT U MADE UR MARK BOO.

that was compleatly unexpected. wow. lost another to cardic arrest. weird. well may she rest in peace

RIP …TOO YOUNG BUT SHES IN A BETTER PLACE…MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER HUSBAND AND FAMILY…

it’s so unfair, the pressure we put on celebrities. let’s not play into their flaws. Yes, If they go around sleeping w everthing that moves…mock. Don’t mock their looks, don’t mock what they are when you, your family, and your friend look the same. it’s very unfair.

rip…les we forget she started out on ‘Sister, Sister’ back in the early 90s as Sarah, one of the twins’ friends in junior high school!

Alaina Reed (Hall) died, on Dec. 17, 2009, from breast cancer. She has been married three times. She was widowed in 1991 after her husband died of pneumonia due to contracting AIDS, and she remarried. Alaina, played as Olivia on Sesame Street. Charlie Murphy’s wife Tisha, also recently died from breast cancer.

R.I.P

I liked this girl. Loved her in “Clueless”. She was a good actress in general and seemed humble and down to earth…this is really sad.

R.I.P homegirl. But if this ends up being drug related then its sad case of another dummy thinkin’ they have their “past time” under control.

OMG!!! I be glad when this year is over with and I pray that 2010 will be better.
Brittany Murphy and Alaina Reed RIP.
May God bless the families of these two beautiful deceased people.

@NINO BROWN… You do not deserve to breath the same air as most of us, Too bad we cant pick and choose because then we can rid the world of useless people such as yourself and maybe make this a better place…

OMG! this is terrible… wow

32yrs old! probably the same thing that killed Michael Jackson… Drugs and an eating disorder combo!!

Shame on me as well for wasting my time on NINO BROWN.. RIP Brittany Murphy and Alaina Reed and all those wonderfully talented and special people we lost this 2009.

Brittany dying at 32 still that young shows us that death comes to us all sooner or later and we never know when it will come to us. So its better to live everyday like its our last day cause who knows when death will come to us when we least expect it. May the lord rest her soul in eternal peace cause she is in a better place now.

i loved her so much RIP ma

Really sorry to hear this. I really liked her as a actress, she was really underrated.

Truly a sad day. Didn’t believe this when I first saw it earlier but now…wow. So heartbreaking. She seemed like such a genuine sweetheart. Loved her work. So believable. Condolences to her fam.

Regardless of what caused Brittany’s death…..Young Hollywood has got to wake up.

r.i.p brittney u will truly b missed

I know your talking all this crap to get a rise out of these people but you are really wasteing your sweet time because they all know you are stupid so they will act like you dont exist ask ( HanniBalls) he will tell you, he has been ignored plenty of times.
—{—@

RIP!

What the hell is going on??!!! WHy are so many people dying this year? Is this a sign of something or what?

My sincere condolences go to Brittany Murphy’s husband and her family. Many of you may not believe this, but I’ve never seen ‘Clueless’ and never wanted to. I’ve seen do of her other lesser known films. and thought she was pretty funny.

I’m still upset about the passing of Michael Jackson. I look up info on him EVERY SINGLE DAY and pray that his soul now has the peace he didn’t get when he was alive. I know it sounds obsessive, but I can’t help it.

Back to Brittany, I can’t believe she died and they call it natural. How can a person die a ‘natural death’ at 32 years old? Did she have any health issues? Just don’t get it.

Awwwwww man!
Why so young!?!???
My heart goes out to the fam.
I lost my sis to diabetes at that same age…

Get some rest, Brittany.

noooooooooo

RIP Tai… rolling with the homies

I believe it is strictly speculation at this point as to what caused Ms. Murphy to go into cardiac arrest, yet 9 times out of 10 what the media reports regarding cases like this one, turns out to be “spot on.” Eating disorders among young women and more recently women entering midlife is sadly far too common…It breaks my heart for all involved once an eating disorder takes hold of it’s victim and spirals out of control leaving one completely feelings of powerlessness to overcome it.Having said that, there is hope out there for anyone that may need answers from someone who’s ridden this roller coaster ride. If you are needing help or possible resources to reach out to, feel free to email me at shopgirlsworld@gmail.com.

dre + white wife = eminem aka death to real black hip-hop

white ppl is evil

who gives s h i t……..

May Brittany rest in peace.

RIP. She was a great actress, both in comedy and drama. 8 mile was NOT her best role, she was amazing in Girl, Interrupted. She died way too young. Sad.

CHECK THE HUSBAND!CHECK THE HUSBAND!CHECK THE HUSBAND!CHECK THE HUSBAND!CHECK THE HUSBAND!

Occording to TMZ Brittany’s husband doesn’t want an autopsy? What person wouldn’t want to konw the cause of death of their loved one..keep an eye on him.

I HEARD SHE HAD A EATING DISORDER AND DIABETES???

WOW THAT WAS WAY HARSH TAI….

Very sad. Gone at such a young age! I really liked her she seemed like such a good spirit. I heard her mother found her in the shower so horrible to find your baby like that. Condolences to the family.
Rest in Peace
