Despite the fact that powerful prescriptions such as Topamax, Klonopin, Ativan, Vicoprofen, Hydrocodone, and Fluoxetine were all found in Brittany Murphy's home, her husband Simon Monjack is insisting that the 32-year-old actress did not die from an overdose.
Monjack tells the NY Daily News, "I'm confident it wasn't an overdose. She was not a drug addict." Monjack called reports of his wife abusing illegal drugs "rubbish," adding that she "did not take anything on the morning of her death that would have caused her to be sick or ill, let alone die. It's beyond even the sickest speculation."
Monjack also responded to reports that Murphy was suffering from an eating disorder, telling NYDN, "The attacks on me, the attacks on my wife and suggestions that she was anorexic and drug addicted, it's like, look at the (recent) photographs ... Look at that smile. That's not the smile of an anorexic or drug addict or someone in a bad marriage. That's someone who was content with her life."
While we'd like to believe her grieving husband, the pharmacy of drugs in the house combined with Britt's fragile frame have us wondering what the toxicology results will reveal in the weeks to come. And we weren't the only ones who noticed how thin Brittany was looking in recent months - Us Weekly wrote that the actress looked "emaciated" at her last public appearance, and her weight was definitely been a hot discussion topic, even before her untimely passing. In an interview with Fox News' PopTarts (via NYDN) Brittany noted, "I am a bit thinner now than what I would like to be."
So if it wasn't drugs or an eating disorder, what happened? Do you believe Simon Monjack?

Wow. There's so much classiness going on in these pix, I just can't take it! Wouldn't YOU wanna be hanging out with these two reality "stars" at NYC's Marquee? Nothing compares to their extreme elegance!

Not only has she won a bunch of Grammys (nine, to be exact) and sold nearly 50 million records, but Mary J. Blige is also super dedicated to her fans. The R&B/hip-hop queen made an appearance at Best Buy in NYC to sign copies of her latest album and pose for pictures, and despite the frigid temps, she seemed to be enjoying every minute of it - what a trooper!

Spotted: That sexy hunk of a man, Orlando Bloom, getting his shop on at John Varvatos on Melrose the other day. Miranda Kerr is one lucky model! Orly might not be dressing up in the Christmas spirit - time to add some color to that wardrobe! - but he does look hot and that's good enough for me.
Yesterday we spotted Brit grabbing some iced coffee in Los Angeles, and it looks like the pop princess was in dire need of a mid morning pick me up. Hopefully the 'Bucks put her in a better mood, because she looked pretty crabby before she gulped down her caffeinated beverage! Cheer up B!

And her pooch! No, we're not talking about Nick Cannon.
The two lovebirds are on vacay in Aspen for Christmas, but that doesn't mean MCC has to stop posing! Sidebar, that puppy is adorbs. Not as adorbs as Nick and Mariah, but still!

Seriously, Ava is going to have some major issues when she gets to high school...all of her girlfriends are going to want to hang out at her dad's place! Okay, that's a little warped, but how many other dads have biceps like these? Yeah, didn't think so!
P.S. For those of you asking about his walking cast, we're hearing Ryan injured it while running on a treadmill...barefoot. Brillz!
