Just one day after the passing of his wife, Simon Monjack decided to talk to — who else? — Access Hollywood. Ummm, I’m going to go ahead and assume he’s doing this as a knee-jerk reaction to all the gossip rags speculating about how he was a bad influence on Brittany, and because these damn reporters will not leave him alone until he hands out a quote, and not because he’s that insane of a famewhore. Honestly. I’m giving him that credit here.
“My world was destroyed yesterday,” an emotional Monjack told Access Hollywood on Monday afternoon. …
As far as what happened inside the actress’ home early Sunday, when Murphy was found unresponsive in the shower, Monjack said up to that point, it had just been “a regular day.”
“[Her mother] Sharon went into the bathroom because she had been in there a long time. Her mom screamed for me and I ran. Then called 911,” he revealed. …
With regards to the coroner noting she may have suffered from flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death, Monjack admitted Murphy had been sick – but it did not seem like it was anything serious.
“She had laryngitis,” he said, noting she had seen a doctor. “She had been tired at the end of the year. She had made a couple movies.”
In his interview with Access, Monjack – who married Murphy in 2007 — took exception to the idea that his wife may have been linked to people who were bad influences on her.
“I don’t know why anyone would think that,” he said. “She found love. We found love. Brittany didn’t get to where Brittany was with anyone controlling her… Brittany was Brittany.”
Authorities do not suspect foul play in Brittany’s death, but they did find “a lot” of prescription medicine in the house. Her autopsy was “normal” and the cause of death has been deferred pending the results of the toxicology report. The Coroner says he’s interested to see what drugs were in her system at her time of death.
The Italian-American — who went on the record earlier this month with her distaste for my favorite TV show in the history of the world, Jersey Shore — stars in this Funny or Die video mocking our darling guidettes. The (genuinely) phenomenal Dove ad it’s based on is after the jump.
It’s kind of freaky how dead-on they are with the guidette-ing of Alyssa here. How long until videos start popping up on YouTube about how to get this look? My greatest sadness in life is that this TV show didn’t come out before Halloween, so everyone on the planet could have dressed up like Snooki. It’ll be so over by next October.
“It has taken me three years to decide on the scent because I really like BO and I think it’s sexy. I wanted to figure out a way to make it palatable to everybody. I was like, ‘How do you get BO in a bottle and make an atomiser of it?’ Then it was all about trying to capture the sense of naughtiness in a bottle that it would be good for a man and a woman.”
- Sarah Jessica Parker explains how she developed her new fragrance.
Because don’t we all just want to shower and put on deodorant and then spray something on ourselves that makes it smell like none of that ever happened?
Gwyneth Paltrow kind of strikes me as a self-important snob, but not necessarily one who doesn’t think the rules apply to her. However, the New York Post brought up an interesting question regarding one of her latest entries on that crappy highfalutin lifestyle site she runs, GOOP. Apparently Gwen raves on and on about her recent visit to the Mamounia Hotel in Morocco where she was attending a junket with Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom. The problem with that? According to new FTC guidelines, bloggers now have to disclose any and all information about gifts and services they receive for free. Odds are that if she was staying at the hotel for a junket, she wasn’t picking up the tab.
My guess is that Gwynnie wasn’t trying to pull a fast one on the housewives and desk jockeys that actually read her blog so they can follow her advice, I’m guessing that she was just clueless to the rule. However, it’s quite important to keep in mind that someone like Gwyneth is not really a regular blogger. Your average blogger might get a free hand cream or book to review, but celebrities who have blogs? Totally different ballgame. I’m not sure it’s even fair for the same rules to apply. Beside, don’t we all kind of assume that famous people get just about everything for free except their houses?
As I told you last week, America’s Best Dance Crew Judge Shane Sparks was arrested on nine counts of child molestation. Now Shane is fighting these allegations and his lawyer is speaking out on his behalf to say that Shane didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, this whole thing is just an excuse for the victim’s parents to score some cash. Either way, this situation is pretty grim.
Not unlike the Travolta family and John Stamos, Meister [Shane's attorney] asserts that the claims being made against Sparks mirror an attempt at extortion.
“It’s a bogus accusation that reeks of opportunism and exploitation. The timing is beyond suspicious, and this whole thing stinks to high heaven,” states Meister. “We are going to fight to clear his name, and we are going to succeed.”
The next step in the Sparks case will be building his defense and proving his innocence, which Meister is confident he will be able to do for his client.
If this is an extortion attempt, I am disgusted but not surprised. So many people are so very desperate and morally bankrupt that they’d absolutely put their child through a trial like this is there was a paycheck on the other side of it. There are these two reality TV parents with eight kids that are coming to mind, but that’s the most obvious example. However, if Shane is covering for himself and he is in fact guilty, then he can just dance his ass to prison for all I care.
Alia Shawkat, who we all fell in love with on Arrested Development and who we’re probably going to love even more after The Runaways, just scored major points with me for her remake of the classic Teen Witch rap (if you’ve never seen that, you’ve got to check it out. It stars Robyn Lively aka Blake Lively’s older sister.) Alia is hilarious and adorable as always and at one point raps back at the “hottie” in the video Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that.”
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
