Brittany Murphy

For most of her adult life, Britney Spears' social media use was carefully monitored by the conniving manipulators who controlled her conservatorship.

Prior to that, her public life was strictly controlled by a team of handlers who ensured that she projected the most profitable image possible at all possible.

It's been over a decade since Hollywood lost a rising star.

And yet:

Back in 2009, fans were stunned by the untimely death of Brittany Murphy.

The actress, just 32 at the time of her passing, had earned both critical and commercial success as a result of her work in such beloved films and television shows as Clueless and King of the Hill.

Last week, we reported on new details about the sad final days of Brittany Murphy.

It's been nearly seven years since Brittany Murphy passed away under mysterious circumstances at the age of 32.

Back in 2009, the world was stunned when 32-year-old actress Brittany Murphy was found dead in her home - an untimely death that raised many questions.

Lifetime's controversial Brittany Murphy biopic premiered Saturday, and in doing so, stirred more controversy surrounding the late actress' life and death.

Lifetime's biopic about Brittany Murphy hasn't even aired yet (set your DVR for September 6!) but is already under fire from Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti.

Slamming the project in a recent interview, Bertolotti called the casting "atrocious" and disputed the validity of ... well, anything teased in the below trailer:

The death of Robin Williams shocked fans the world this week, but sadly, he is but one of many stars to have passed away many years too soon.

For all the joy he brought to millions of lives, the actor battled substance abuse and severe depression at various points in a life cut short by his own choice.

"As if!" "She's a full-on Monet!" "Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?"

One of the most beloved comedies of the 90s, Clueless gave us countless memorable quotes that are repeated by Betties and Burn-Outs alike to this day.

Billy Joel once memorably sang that "Only the Good Die Young."

While his point was that you should live your life, not be consumed by preconceived inhibitions, the phrase certainly still rings true in modern day Hollywood.

A second lab test of the late actress Brittany Murphy's hair samples shows that she was likely poisoned to death in 2009, fueling foul play speculation.

An examination found unusually high levels of heavy metals and toxins in her system, specifically Barium, Sulfur (ingredients common in pesticides).

Despite recent claims that Brittany Murphy may have been poisoned to death, the L.A. County Coroner says there are no plans to reopen the case.

The actress' dad, Angelo Bertolotti, went to the media last week with a new alleged lab report he claims suggests she died of heavy metal poisoning.

Officials from the L.A. County Coroner's office may exhume the body of actress Brittany Murphy in light of recent reports about her death, but have not. Yet.

Brittany Murphy’s shocking death in 2009 raised many questions. A new toxicology report is likely to raise many more, given the shocking revelations within.

Her father, Angelo Bertolotti, never believed the L.A. County Coroner’s report that listed Brittany Murphy's cause of death as pneumonia and anemia.

If she were alive, Brittany Murphy would have turned 33 years old today. Instead, sadly, the actress passed away in December as a result of cardiac arrest.

Now, Brittany's mother, Sharon, has come up with a way to honor her late daughter: via the written word.

Was Brittany Murphy's husband sleeping with her mom - literally, not in the sexual sense - after she died? That's the implication of a new coroner's report.

Murphy passed away in December, and Simon Monjack, her husband, died a few months later. Both deaths were attributed to pneumonia and drug use.

The late Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was shrouded in mystery and suspicion from the moment they wed in 2007 until his own death this year.

Now new allegations are flying about her controversial spouse, whose business manager, Jeffrey Morgenroth, says he liquidated a majority of her accounts.

Simon Monjack, who died Sunday in the Hollywood home he once shared with wife Brittany Murphy, had a heart condition and was due to have bypass surgery.

This according a rep for Murphy's mother, who also lost Brittany in December.

The late Brittany Murphy, who passed away in December, received no fewer than 200 pills a month from January 2008-August 2009, and sometimes as many as 400.

The actress used an alias, Lola Manilow Murphy, at Eddie's Pharmacy in L.A. for nearly two years before the pharmacy finally cut her off four months before she died.

The deaths of Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy and Corey Haim raised questions regarding prescription drugs, and have sparked an investigation, sources report.

The California State Attorney General's Office is investigating a number of doctors who prescribed meds for the aforementioned stars, all of whom died recently.

Brittany Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack is furious over a report that the star obtained medication - a majority of which is MIA - just before she died.

The late actress, who died in December, allegedly secured a prescription for 120 hydrocodone pills 11 days before her death. Only 11 were found after.
