Didn't know about the diabetes.

Now I know it.

"I'll never tell..."

I remember that slogan a few years ago. Didn't know that was her. Completely ignored that film.

Saturday Night Live has pulled the Brittany Murphy skit from the internet.
SKIT PULLED

I get it. I had a feeling this would happen.

I don't understand the people that are saying the skit was in poor taste. Sounds like people are reacting to the death rather than the timing of the skit.

She was fired from her job and she's always been a bit loony. SNL was bound to poke fun at her. But, I think their decision to pull the skit from the internet is a sound one.

Honeslty, I'm not surprised. The girl always looked crack-head thin (sunken in eyes?) especially after beign introduced to us as a healthy sized girl in Clueless. Not sure of her lifestyle and all but I'm sure whatever it was that killed her much of it could be attributed to her diet or lack there of. With it being cardiac arrest the causes could be bulimia, anoerexia, drugs, binge diets etc or even the combination of those with something as simple as an irregular heartbeat.

Either way it's just sad. Loved her as the voice of Luanne in King of the Hill.

People love to get on their high horse when someone relatively famous dies. Celebrities are fair game for parody and ridicule. I don't blame NBC for pulling the skit from the internet for the time being but its not like the network knew she was going to die when it ran with the skit. Should we start chastising Fox and In Living Colour for their 15 year old Michael Jackson skits since he's dead now too? It's unfortunate when anyone who is by all accounts a good person dies prematurely, but people get way too hyper-sensitive over even the most minor of celebrities sometimes. I say try to ignore it, but it can be pretty difficult.
