Brittany Murphy was very ill in the hours before she went into cardiac arrest and died, sources tell TMZ.

We're told Murphy was taking prescription meds for flu-like symptoms she had been experiencing for several days. We're told Murphy began vomiting early Sunday morning and told family members she was feeling very ill.

Sources say various prescriptions were found in the home -- written for Brittany Murphy, husband Simon Monjack, and Brittany's mom. One source says, "There were a lot ... a lot of prescriptions in the house."

Law enforcement sources tell us Murphy collapsed in the bathroom and somehow ended up in the shower ... there was, we're told, a significant amount of vomit in the immediate area.

We're also told authorities did not find illegal drugs in the house, but Murphy was definitely taking various prescription meds.

Sources say her condition and the meds could have triggered a heart attack, but it's too early to know. An autopsy will be performed Monday or Tuesday. We reported earlier Monjack did not want an autopsy but ultimately it's the Coroner's call.

As we first reported, Brittany Murphy's mother told paramedics her daughter suffered from diabetes. We're told it was type 2 diabetes and people involved in the case doubt her condition caused her death.

Angelo Bertolotti, father to the recently-passed Brittany Murphy, remembers his daughter’s outgoing, sweet personality after he learns of her death from his son on Sunday in Fla. according to the Associated Press.

“She was just an absolute doll since she was born…Her personality was always outward. Everybody loved her — people that made movies with her, people on a cruise — they all loved her. She was just a regular gall,” Bertolotti tells AP.

Although he hadn’t seen his daughter in quite some time after he divorced her mother when she was still young, Angelo will always care about Brittany.

“She was just talented…And, I loved her very much,” Bertolotti reveals to AP.

The shocked father, who admits to AP that he used to be a part of the mob and he himself served a prison sentence for federal drug charges, didn’t know much more about why his daughter had passed.

( hip hop hooray ) and if you come in here and say "WHO??" then...

The third installment of "Jackass" from Paramount Pictures and MTV Films will hit theaters on October 15, 2010, this time in eye-popping 3D. Johnny Knoxville and the boys will begin shooting in late January with Dickhouse Production's Jeff Tremaine at the helm and producing alongside Spike Jonze and Knoxville.

The addition of 3D to the new film will raise the mayhem factor to new heights, promises star/producer Johnny Knoxville. "We're going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in 'Avatar' and stick it up Steve O's butt. We're taking stupid to a whole new dimension." 


2002's Jackass: The Movie earned more than more than $64 million and was heralded as "a disgusting, repulsive, grotesque spectacle, but also hilarious and provocative. God help me, thumbs up" by esteemed critic Richard Roeper. Released in 2006, Jackass: Number Two earned over $72 million and was heralded by The New York Times as being "debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies."

Alia Shawkat gets her gangsta on in this remake of Teen Witch’s infamous rap scene, “Top That.” In support of pal Rachel Antonoff’s spring 2010 collection, the 20-year-old Runaways star walks right up to her rapping crush and raps right back — with the help of a little magic, of course.

“Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that,” Alia rattles off in the video below, courtesy of Teen Vogue.

Pals Cody Linley and David Correy serenade their fans with their rendition of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” in this new video.



Cody, 20, will be making his Broadway debut in “Over Here!” in 2010. The theater production story is a cross-country train trip in the United States during World War II. The show begins as a nostalgic look at 1940s America but quickly evolves into a social commentary about the fear of dying in battle, prejudice, and discrimination.

The original Broadway production starring John Travolta and two of the Andrews Sisters closed in 1975.

When Will White People Stop Making Movies Like "Avatar"?



Critics have called alien epic Avatar a version of Dances With Wolves because it's about a white guy going native and becoming a great leader. But Avatar is just the latest scifi rehash of an old white guilt fantasy.

I thought that this was an interesting article since so many ONTD members have been making this same point about the movie ever since the plot was revealed.

Patrick Stewart—Star Trek's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and X-Men's Charles Xavier—will be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, according to a report in the British newspaper the Mirror.

In addition to appearing in films, Stewart has been spending much of the last decade performing on the British stage. He is to be knighted by the queen on this year's New Year's Honours list. (The news isn't official yet; the newspaper bases its report on anonymous sources.)

Palace sources said the Queen is a huge fan of the 69-year-old, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

If he is knighted, Stewart will join fellow X-Men star Ian McKellen.

'KANYE IS HUMBLE'

Daniel Merriweather has claimed that Kanye West doesn't deserve his negative reputation.

West caused controversy earlier this year when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards to say that Beyoncé should have won.

However, Merriweather, who supported West in Australia, told Now: "He's completely opposite to that in person."

He added: "Kanye's a really nice guy and quite humble... I think when the cameras are on he kind of plays out a role that people expect him to play out.

"But he's actually a really good guy."

The news came in numbers and the numbers were fairly grim, all the grimmer for being unsurprising. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll reported this week that more than half of Americans, 55%, think America is on the wrong track, with only 33% saying it is going in the right direction. A stunning 66% say they're not confident that their children's lives will be better than their own (27% are).

It is another in a long trail of polls that show a clear if occasionally broken decline in American optimism. The poll was discussed on TV the other day, and everyone said those things everyone says: "People are afraid they'll lose their jobs or their houses." "It's health care. Every uninsured person feels they're one illness away from bankruptcy."

All too true. The economy has always had an impact on the general American mood, and the poll offered data to buttress the reader's assumption that economic concerns are driving pessimism. Fifty-one percent of those interviewed said they disapproved of the president's handling of the economy, versus 42% approving.

But something tells me this isn't all about money. It's possible, and I can't help but think likely, that the poll is also about other things, and maybe even primarily about other things.

Sure, Americans are worried about long-term debt and endless deficits. We're worried about taxes and the burden we're bequeathing to our children, and their children.

But we are concerned about other things, too, and there are often signs in various polls that those things may dwarf economic concerns. Americans are worried about the core and character of the American nation, and about our culture.

It is one thing to grouse that dreadful people who don't care about us control our economy, but another, and in a way more personal, thing to say that people who don't care about us control our culture. In 2009 this was perhaps most vividly expressed in the Adam Lambert Problem. More on that in a moment.

Candids: Megan Fox's Boyfriend Putting Belongings In Moving Van

Here’s a piece of late-breaking News: Brian Austin Green was seen earlier today by the paps hauling all of his stuff out of his house! That’s right, Brian called up the movers and scooted a bunch of stuff into a moving truck. Megan was nowhere in sight during the move as Brian packed additional things into his car.

What does this all mean, you ask? We don’t know the answer to that but we can only speculate that it has nothing to do with Megan. YET.
