Brittany Murphy Dies of Cardiac Arrest at 32!

Clueless Star is “Rollin with the Homies” at age 32!

It is a sad Sunday December 20, 2009 because the fashion icon Brittany Murphy has been pronounced dead today.  She was only 32 years old and the cause of death is cardiac arrest.  How is that possible?  Did she have a heart condition that no one knew about?  Was it drugs?  Or maybe anorexia as she looked super thin lately.  Whatever the cause may be, the outcome is still the same and our hearts go out to her friends and family.

The details surrounding her untimely death are limited but this is what is known as of now…

I came to love her when she played the nerdy and slightly overweight friend in Clueless.  She was adorable and super cute.  I’m not sure how they could call her the “overweight” friend because she wasn’t overweight by regular everyday standards.  Many women would kill for her figure in that movie so why does Hollywood and the Fashion industry keep perpetuating these ridiculous ideals?  And why do we keep accepting it?  What do you think?

Celebrities sent their condolences on Twitter where the news spread fast.  Here are some Celebrity Twit-tributes to Brittany…
