(CBS/AP) Authorities said Monday it appeared actress Brittany Murphy died of natural causes after becoming ill with flulike symptoms in the days before she collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home.

Celebrity Web site TMZ is reporting there were “large amounts of prescription medications” on the nightstand when paramedics arrived at her Hollywood home, and that Murphy was “complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain” in the week before she died.

“She always denied any relationship to drugs,” US Weekly Entertainment Director Dena Sansing told CBS News. “She said she had never tried it. She said the strongest thing was Sudafed — it wasn’t her thing.”

RIP Brittany Murphy. She voiced Luanne Platter Kleinschmidt in King of the Hill. Interestingly, at Wikipedia, someone claimed that Luanne would die in one episode. However, that has been removed since than. It shows that drug addiction is dangerous and can kill.

‘The Jay Leno Show” has struggled mightily — but Mondays have been extra-tough.

“Leno” averaged just over 4 million viewers at 10 p.m. Monday — nearly equaling its all-time low of 3.9 million viewers set on Monday, Nov. 2.

This past Monday, “Leno” was up against original episodes of CBS’ “CSI: Miami” and ABC’s “Castle,” which averaged 14 million and 11 million viewers, respectively.

New York Post-Jay slips even more

Gees, all that promotions not helping. Jay Leno is a late night person, not prime time person. Also, talk shows like that work better at night.

AP Source: Coroner rules Jackson’s death homicide

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died.

The coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson’s death, the official said.

Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson’s personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston, Murray told investigators he administered a 25 mg dose of propofol around 10:40 a.m. after spending the night injecting Jackson with two sedatives in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to sleep.

It has been nearly two months. Whether Dr. Conrad Murray is found guilty or not, he will lose his medical license. Propofol should never be given in a non-hospital setting because it is a powerful drug. Dr. Murray could of stopped right there and told Jackson that he would not give drugs to him because it is not good for him and is not safe to give in a non-hospital setting.

This will be news to come for some time. Hopefully, Jackson’s death will put drug addiction on the fore front. Drug addiction is very serious and harms everyone involved.

Director John Hughes dies at 59
‘Breakfast Club’ helmer died of a heart attack

John Hughes, who captured the zeitgeist of 1980s teen life as writer-director of “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles” and produced and scripted family hits such as “Home Alone,” died Thursday of a heart attack in Manhattan while taking a walk. He was 59.

After an impressive string of hits — “Home Alone” is one of the top-grossing live-action comedies of all time — Hughes, who never won a major show business award, stopped directing in 1991 and virtually retired from filmmaking a few years later, working on his farm in northern Illinois.

The filmmaker, whom critic Roger Ebert once called “the philosopher of adolescence,” was a major influence on filmmakers including Wes Anderson, Kevin Smith and Judd Apatow, who told the L.A. Times last year, “Basically, my stuff is just John Hughes films with four-letter words.”

Sad day for Hollywood. A great talent has passed. I like Home Alone and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Great movies and true classics. Home Alone has a great Christmas music, Somewhere In My Memory. Everytime I hear it, I think of Christmas. RIP John Hughes.

We are at the halfway mark for 2009. After a tough decision on determining who are currently the most hated people. There is always a need for public enemies and someone to hate. These 20 loathesome are hated for a good reason and rightfully deserve it. I came to the conclusion of the 20 most hated people. We will started with the twentieth and descend to number one.

20 Most Hated People

20.) Kim Kardashian
A Paris Hilton wanna-be socialite. Thankfully, she is not as well known.

19.) Lindsey Lohan
Another no talent actress who has not done anything in years. Only thing she is famous for is being famous and getting into trouble. Even Brittany Spears cleaned up her act and she did have a real problem, unlike Lohan, who is washed up.

18.) Paris Hilton
A skanky no talent attention whore. She tries to be an actress and singer and fails at that. There are many aspiring singers, actors, and directors who are a lot better. Oh, she is a trust fund kid.

17.) Alex Jones
A 9/11 Truther and whacked out conspiracy theorists. Still in denial, huh? Lay off the tinfoil will ya!

16.) Steven Fowler
Elitist and pompous British ex-pat father in San Fransicko. He thinks soldiers are idiots with no education. He is no better than fellow scumbags, Fred Phelps and Michael Crook.

15.) Suzanne Lukas
Standish, Maine superintendent who did not give Justin Denney his diploma when he graduated after he bowed down and blew some kisses at his parents. This is showing respect at its best. Lukas needs to get a life! What a moron!

14.) Nadya Suleman
The Octo-Mom. I mean c’mon, she has six children and that is a lot for anyone. Her excuse is that she was the only child. I have had friends who were the only child and they were happy. If she was adopting fourteen children, people would be singing a different tune to her.

13.) Rod Blagojevich
Disgraced Illinois governor. He acts like if nothing is happening, which only puts him on thin ice. I suggest you keep your mouth shut. Hey Blaggo, how is life being a reality TV star? Oh, he is to go to trial in June of 2010. Let see you weasel that out.

12.) David Letterman
Pervert and unfunny meth head loser. Whether you love or hate Sarah Palin, attacking her children was wrong and uncalled for. He is MUCH worse than Conan O’Brian and I don’t like him that much.

11.) Keith Olbermann
If there is a world’s worst person, than Keith Olbermann is the one. Okay, save a terrorist or dictator. He hosts his pompous show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann. More like “I Am A Dumb Moron With A Show On PMSNBC”.

10.) Perez Hilton
If there is repressed homosexuality in Fred Phelps, than there must be repressed heterosexuality and it comes in the form of Perez Hilton. Well, he is gay and hates himself. Loves to gossip and ruin people’s lives and attacked Carrie Prejean. A failed actor who goes by the name because he is obsessed with Paris Hilton, another vapid and skanky whore, like he is. Karma struck when he called will.I.am, a “faggot” and got punched. Also, he attacked Michael Jackson when he died. I wonder why he does not talk about Fred Phelps? Oh, that is because he is his secret gay lover.

9.) Michael Crook
Proof why inbreeding is dangerous and cultures condemn it. He is infamous for his defunct anti-soldier site, Craig’s List baiting, sending fake DMCA letters, and attacking people who die in tragic circumstances. EFF sued his sorry ass for sending fake DMCA letters. How dumb is that? He tried looking for relationship on a Neo-Nazis forum called Storm Front and was kicked out for that.

8.) Bernard Madoff
Big time con artist of the lowest denominator. How does one maintain a Ponzi scheme for nearly 20 years is beyond me. You make Robert Stanford look like an amateur. You and Stanford deserve each other in a prison cell. Talk about Machiavellian right there! Oh, he got thrown into the slammer for 150 years!

7.) Casey Anthony
Another sorry ass mother who killed her own daughter, Caylee and did not report her missing for a month. Also, why did her parents did not notice Caylee was missing. Something is seriously wrong with the Anthony family. What a self-centered and self-absorbed scumbag she is.

6.) Fred Phelps
Deranged self-hater and sexually repressed psychopath. He pickets funerals of dead soldiers and people who die in tragic circumstances. He also accused Mr. Rogers and Farrah Fawcett of promoting homosexuality. He is proof why eugenics is a good thing for humanity. Phelps needs to come out of the closet and admit he is gay and should find his illegitimate children, which he has in all probabilities.

5.) Lori Drew
Pathetic sorry ass mother from Missouri. She used MySpace with her daughter Sarah and employee Ashley Grills to harass Megan Meier to suicide. The reason, it was over that Megan called her Sarah a “Lesbian”. Really pathetic if you ask me and I think it has to do with her being a latent homosexual. The skank is too stupid to realize how infamous she is, besides Jim Jones and Adolf Hitler. Is your biological father Fred Phelps? You seem to remind me of him in appearance and behavior. She is acquitted, but she is still one of the most hated person and is the lowest ranked women.

4.) Hugo Chavez
A filthy commie that is ruling Venezuela. Venezuela has a long and rich history and sadly it is being ran into the ground by him. Looks like he is forming the Unholy Trinity with Raul Castro, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong-Il.

3.) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
This used car salesman that rules Iran. Actually, he is a puppet of the Mullahs and they seem to be irritated by him too. He was involved in the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis. He could be overthrown soon among with the Mullahs. The Iranian election has caused turmoil and hopefully the Mullahs will be ousted in the process along with him.

2.) Kim Jong-Il
Leader of Gulag State of North Korea. This guy has nukes to launch and is stirring up trouble. He lives like a king, while the people starve to look for any food. This guy is a caricature of a whacked out lunatic. He is a lunatic.

1.) Osama bin Laden
Need I say more? He attacked the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and failed attack near Shanksville on September 11, 2001. A day no one will forget. He is also behind terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq and killing our soldiers there. Bin Laden is evil personified and is the worst person right there! Worst person ever. Okay, save Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao Zedong.

Michael Jackson had the talent. No one will argue that for sure. My favorite song is Bad. “I am bad” “I am bad”. However, I lost respect for him when he became a freak show. Also, he is an alledge pedophile, which is a debatable. Sleeping with other boys is perverted no doubt and why would any parent leave their own child with him is beyond me. Finally, I do not like all the news coverage he is getting. It is everywhere. Also, Farrah Fawcett died that same day and she was a true beauty and icon. Several days ago, Ed McMahon died and he changed television as we know it. He will be with Johnny Carson in Heaven for eternity.

Today, three icons have passed away this week, including two today, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Edward Leo Peter McMahon Jr. (March 6, 1923 – June 23, 2009)

Ferrah Leni Fawcett (February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009)

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

History is being made today. Analog is no more and now all television broadcast in digital. Well not all. Some stations in my area are still broadcasting in analog as of today and should be off by tonight. I saw the analog get turned off. Not really eventful. It just went static. Anyways, I am long ready for digital.

I hesitate to disagree with the immortal La Rochefoucauld, but I think he was wrong when he wrote, “We are always bored by those whom we bore.”

Not always (though I often remind myself of this observation when I’m feeling bored by someone else). I think that sometimes we find a topic so interesting that it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that it might not be interesting to someone else. And most of us want to make a good impression and avoid boring other people.

Unless you get a truly enthusiastic response from your interlocutor—which is possible—be very wary of recounting…

1. A dream.
2. The recent changes in your child’s nap schedule.
3. The route you took to get here.
4. An excellent meal you once had at a restaurant.
5. The latest additions to your wine cellar.
6. An account of your last tennis game.
7. The plot of a movie, play or book—in particular, the funny parts.

What do these subjects have in common? The listener has nothing to add. He or she must just hear you describe your experience.

User post: 7 topics to avoid if you don’t want to be a bore

Not surprised by it. Anyways, I do not talk about them or even think of it. There are the three things you do not talk about at the dinner table, which include parties as well, politics, money, and sex. However, I do not see emotionally charged topics like 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina/Ike, which I am guilty of talking about at times. Funny thing, it does not bore people because everyone lived through them. We all saw 9/11 attacks on live television and people affected in the Gulf Coast by Katrina and Ike.

Cybill Shepherd Blames the Mormons & Catholics for the Passing of Proposition 8

Tennessee-born beauty Cybill Shepherd definitely isn’t one to waste words — and had she no qualms in speaking out about who she thought was to blame for the passing of Proposition 8 in California’s last election, which led to gay and lesbian marriage rights being overturned.

Full Article

First of all, it was not only Catholics and Mormons who pased Proposition 8. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Muslims voted for it too. Keep in mind that President Obama is against gay marriage. So, is he a bigot? I can see why she is the way she is, age has gotten her and she cannot age gracefully. There is something called aging gracefully, which she lacks. What has she done recently? None!
