Posted on Mon Dec 21st, 2009 7:58am PDT       By X17 Staff





Brittany Murphy's very vocal neighbor gave X17 cameras an eyewitness account of the events at her house Sunday morning, saying Murphy was "obviously dead" at the time the paramedics were trying to resuscitate her, and husband Simon Monjack just looked "dazed."

"He was just wandering around, not where she was, he was just walking around the street," she says of Monjack, who was probably in shock. "It was so tragic."

Additionally, Claire says Brittany was very "nice and friendly," and she and her husband were "great neighbors."

Actor Eric Balfour was seen leaving the Murphy house as caterers brought food to the mourning family.

Police are still investigating the cause of death.

He hasn't been spotted since his post-Thanksgiving accident on November 27th and it looks as if Tiger Woods wants to keep it that way. This weekend Woods set sail on his private yacht, aptly named Privacy, for a rumored cruise to the Bahamas.

His wife, Elin, is also keeping a low profile. After coming out twice earlier in the week, Nordegren hasn't left her Windermere home since.

An X17 photographer in Orlando tells us: "The home is quiet - Elin and the kids haven't even been out in the yard, as far as we've seen. Talk around town is that Elin will definitely divorce tiger and that after everything she's had to endure, she was further upset that Tiger decided to take off on his yacht with the boys. It's almost as if he's going off to celebrate his new-found freedom."

Just more ammo she can use in the pending divorce!

BREAKING NEWS - Actress Brittany Murphy Pronounced Dead This Morning

Posted on Sun Dec 20th, 2009 4:04pm PDT       By X17 Staff

brittanymurphydead.jpgBrittany Murphy, 32, was pronounced dead upon arrival today at Cedars-Sinai medical center after her husband called 911 this morning around 8 a.m. from the couple's Los Angeles home.

Initial reports cite cardiac arrest as the cause of death -- the same cause as was attributed to Michael Jackson's death earlier this year.

Murphy stared in films like Clueless, 8 Mile, Sin City and Spun, in which she played a heroin addict. Reports followed that the actress herself may have had problems with illegal drugs, to which she responded in a 2005 interview with Jane magazine. Rumors said her weight loss was due to cocaine use .... she said this:

    "Wow. No, just for the record I have never tried it in my entire life, I've never even seen it, and I don't leave the house too much, except to go to work. My worst vice is caffeine. [The rumor is] really pretty darn far-fetched -- it couldn't be further from the truth. I have known people over the course of my life that have bad problems with drugs, and it's something really serious.

    I am also way too high-strung. I can't even take a Sudafed. Can you imagine? My God. I think my heart would explode. I mean, literally something terrible. That's awful."


Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was rushed to the hospital less than a month ago after falling ill on a flight to LA from Puerto Rico. Monjack was incoherent when EMTs boarded the plane after Murphy had feared he was having an asthma attack but airline medical personal felt is was something more serious.

That was the flight Murphy and her husband hopped after the actress left the set of The Caller, filming on the island. Murphy's reps cited "creative differences," but reports said she was fired.
