Brittany Murphy dies ‘from a heart attack’ aged 32

Actress Brittany Murphy, pictured here at a film premiere in Los Angeles just three weeks ago, has died from a suspected heart attack at the age of 32

US actress Brittany Murphy died today from a reported heart attack at the age of 32.

Multiple sources told celebrity news website TMZ.com that she went into full cardiac arrest and despite multiple attempts, could not be revived.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devon Gale said emergency services were called to the house she shares with her screenwriter husband Simon Monjack in Los Angeles at 8am local time.

According to reports, her mother Sharon Murphy discovered her daughter unconscious in the shower.

Paramedics determined that Brittany was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR.

They continued mouth-to-mouth as they sped to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, several miles away from her home, but Brittany was pronounced dead on arrival at 10.04am.

Monjack was not thought to have been at home at the time.

Officer Norma Eisenman from the Los Angeles police said they have opened an investigation into her death and have dispatched investigators to Murphy’s home in the hills of West Hollywood.

It was suggested today that an autopsy to determine exactly how she died could be conducted as early as tomorrow.

George Michael on drug-taking  and cruising for sex with strangers on Hampstead Heath: ‘It’s just who I am’

George Michael and his boyfriend Kenny Goss: The couple have an open sexual relationship

George Michael today spoke candidly of his drug use and cruising for sex with strangers, saying ‘it’s just who I am’.

The former Wham! star confirmed he was caught in possession of crack cocaine when arrested last year in public toilets on Hampstead Heath, a gay cruising area close to his home in north London.

But asked when he had last smoked the class A drug, the singer declined to answer.

He told The Guardian newspaper he had cut back on cannabis and now smokes only ’seven or eight’ spliffs per day instead of the 25 he used to smoke.

The 46-year-old defended ‘cottaging’ on the Heath, saying it was ‘nicer’ than picking up men in bars.

‘The handful of times a year it’s bloody warm enough, I’ll do it. I’ll do it on a nice summer evening. Quite often there are campfires up there,’ he said.

‘It’s a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar, E’d off your tits (high on ecstasy) shouting at somebody and hoping they want the same thing as you do in bed.’

Asked why he cruises for sex when he could get any gay man he wanted, George replied: ‘I do get anyone I want. But I like a bit of everything. I have friends up there, I have a laugh.’

Over the last decade Michael has had a number of run-ins with the law.

In 1998, he was arrested in public toilets in Los Angeles for ‘engaging in a lewd act’ and was cautioned for possessing cannabis after being found asleep at the wheel of his car on two separate occasions in 2006.

He said: ‘I had a problem with sleeping pills for about a year and a half, and I f***** up really badly.

‘I got in the car twice when I’d forgotten I’d already downed something to try to get me to sleep. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t deliberate – ultimately, I did it a second time, and I could have killed somebody.

‘But the fact remains I was never accused of driving under the influence. I got done for exhaustion and sleeping pills.’

Meredith Baxter: «Dopo tre divorzi
ho scoperto di essere lesbica»

L’attrice: «Sette anni fa ho capito il mio orientamento sessuale. Con gli uomini era sempre stato difficile»

Meredith Baxter (Ap)

NEW YORK - Ha scoperto di essere lesbica dopo il terzo divorzio. E lo ha annunciato in tv. Meredith Baxter, attrice americana che tra le altre cose è stata protagonista di “Casa Keaton”, confessa di aver scoperto il suo orientamento sessuale soltanto sette anni fa (quando cioè ne aveva 55: oggi ne ha 62). I suoi cinque figli, che hanno dai 25 ai 42 anni, sono al corrente di tutto e - ha spiegato l’artista - sono stati molto «comprensivi». «È stata una scoperta fatta in età un po’ avanzata, mi sono ritrovata a stare assieme a una persona con cui non avrei mai pensato di poter avere un rapporto di quel tipo, è stato come un risveglio, con gli uomini avevo sempre avuto relazioni difficili», ha detto durante il ‘talk show’.

GOSSIP - Alcuni siti Internet hanno recentemente pubblicato alcune foto in cui l’attrice è ritratta con l’imprenditrice immobiliare Nancy Locke. Secondo i media online, le due donne stanno insieme da circa quattro anni e recentemente sono state in crociera nei Caraibi con altre 1.200 lesbiche.

Double take: George Clooney holidays with friend Cindy Crawford and doppelganger girlfriend Elisabetta

George Clooney really does live a charmed life. Not only is he globally acknowledged as a heart-throb and respected actor, but he is known for having dated a string of beautiful women.

And now he is on holiday with supermodel Cindy Crawford - some men have all the luck.

Relaxing in Mexico with the 43-year-old and her husband Randy Gerber, the actor had also brought along his latest girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.

Who’s who? Cindy Crawford and Elisabetta Canalis could have been mistaken for twins while on holiday in Mexico

But onlookers may have been confused about who was who as the quartet enjoyed the sunshine, lounging round the pool.

For despite being 12 years her senior, Crawford and 31-year-old model and actress Canalis could have been mistaken for twins at the Mexican resort.

Both wore bikinis, showing off their enviable figures as they swam and sunbathed, while Clooney, Gerber and a friend had obviously spotted an interesting sight as they larked around with binoculars.

Lucky: On holiday with his Italian actress girlfriend and supermodel Crawford, George Clooney is no doubt the envy of many men

Firm friends, Clooney and the Gerber-Crawfords often vacation together, whether it’s on the former’s yacht on the French Riviera or at his Lake Como home in Italy.

In addition, the Ocean’s Eleven actor also publicly supported Gerber earlier this year in May when he stood accused of sexual harrassment by two waitresses working for his company, the Gerber Group.

The women claimed they were fired for rejecting advances made by the supermodel’s husband.

However, Clooney - who had been with Gerber the night of the alleged incident - undertook a lie detector test to help prove the 47-year-old’s innocence.
