Yowzers. Brittany Murphy died today. That’s a bummer.

Brittany Murphy, the actress who got her start in the sleeper hit “Clueless” and rose to stardom in “8 Mile,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 32.

Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Sally Stewart said. Stewart would not provide a cause of death or any other information.

Murphy was transported to the hospital after the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. at the home she shared with her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, in the Hollywood Hills.

Los Angeles police have opened an investigation into Murphy’s death, Officer Norma Eisenman said. Detectives and coroner’s officials were at her Murphy and Monjack’s home Sunday afternoon but did not talk to reporters. Paparazzi were camped outside.

Neighbor Clare Staples said she saw firefighters working to resuscitate the actress Sunday morning. She said Murphy was on a stretcher and “looked as though she was dead at the scene.”

Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared “dazed” as firefighters tried to save her, Staples said. “It’s just tragic,” she added. (Houston Chronicle)

Well, I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about this one over the next few days.

Very sad. She hadn’t really been in anything for a while, but will appear in Sly Stallone’s epic new action movie “The Expendables” next year. Incidentally, the movie features Sly, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenenenegeggggegeneneer, Mickey Rourke, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Danny Trejo and Eric Roberts. I shit you not one bit. There will be some serious barneys, I’ll bet you that much. Even if it is a totally shitmovie, it will be awesome.

Where were we? Oh, Brittany Murphy. Rest in peace, ok? I always thought you were quite cool.
