Seriously...this year has been tragic when it comes to celebrity deaths. This is so sad. :( I remember when I was in LA and they were having the premiere for Taledanga Nights at the Chinese Grauman theater and Brittany Murphy was there. She was soooo pretty in person, and she was the first person to turn to the fans and wave enthusiastically at as with a huge smile. RIP.
