Brittany Murphy Dies at 32!!

OMG what a terrible thing to wake up to! Actress/singer Brittany Murphy has died at the age of 32.

Earlier this morning, Brittany’s MOTHER, who found her unconscious in the shower. Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, was the one who called 911. By the time paramedics got there, she was in full cardiac arrest, and did CPR all the way to Cedars Sinia Hospital in Los Angeles. The hospital says that she died at 10:04 this morning.

The actress’s rep, Nicole Perna, said in a statement Sunday afternoon, “In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy.”

Brittany’s former boyfriend (rumored ex-fiance), Ashton Kutcher, took to his Twitter account to talk about his ex.

2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon.

see you on the other side kid.

Brittany starred in Clueless, and along side Angelna Jolie in Girl Interrupted. And I even loved her in that silly film Ramen Girl.

And while others may be speculating on what took her, BBB will let her rest for at least one day.

How incredibly tragic.

Judi Dench Talks

I was so excited when I saw that Dame Judi Dench was going to be on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson! She is just absolutely fabulous.

Judi was of course there to promote her new film “Nine”, and she was a great sport with Craig and all of his ribbing. He gave her a hard time the entire interview, asking who she’s had affairs with, including Sean Connery, and if she likes to do drugs.

But my most favorite part, ok  there were a few favorite parts, was when she was speaking about her time playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret. She would get sloshed up on Champagne before going on stage. (VIDEO BELOW)

She talks about James Bond’s Daniel Craig, and just how sexy he is. All of which made Craig insanely jealous. I think he might have a bit of a crush on Judi.

And then there was the awkward pause, which she did flawlessly. Such the good sport.

SEE the video of Dame Judi Dench performing in Cabaret below!

David LaChapelle + Lady Gaga = Perfect Match!

Lady Gaga David LaChapelle sparks

I love the work of David LaChapelle, and his odd sense of beauty.  He always pushes the envelope but in a fun colorful way.  When I saw these pictures for Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster CD set all I could think of was “Well of COURSE David LaChapelle and Lady Gaga got together.”  It’s as if they were just waiting for each other to show up in the same place.

Like I said, this photo shoot, according to AllieIsWired is in her The Fame Monster Delux CD set.  She goes from sparks flying out of her hoohaw, to being covered only by newsclippings (and paper cuts), and the robot queen of a metropolis.  The volcano piece with Kanye West was obviously supposed to be used for the Fame Kills tour that was scrapped earlier this year.  oops.

New Alice in Wonderland Trailer (Video & Photos)

Alice in wonderland

The newest trailer for Tim Burton’s version of “Alice In Wonderland” is out, and it looks gorgeous! If nothing else, Burton’s films are delicious to watch. Visual caramel sauce all over vanilla ice cream.

Johnny Depp is the OBVIOUS star of the movie, as he is in all of Burton’s movies. It just looks like Burton took the story of Alice and made it a sequel. Unlike what he did with Sleepy Hollow where he just rewrote the entire story without much reference to the original. (Still a great movie, though).

I just have a soft spot for Alice in Wonderland. From what I get from the trailer, Alice has already been and gone. She returns to find that The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) has taken over all of Wonderland and it has fallen to pieces. (hmmm sounds like the syfy version of Alice that was just on)

What do you think of the NEW Alice? Should he have just reworked the original? Or are you diggin the “Part 2″ aspect?
