My hazy medical knowledge is leading me to think it wasn't drugs. TMZ says her mother found her in the shower; friend of mine had a heart condition and was told not to take hot showers b/c it raises the blood pressure and can cause arrest. I'm thinking Brittany had a genetic condition or something.
@Scout: I don't know when her death will truly sink in with me, I am still coming to grips with the fact that MJ is dead. I saw this movie (The Ramen Girl) about 2 months ago, and it reaffirmed my love for her, no matter what movie she was in. She played a lost soul who was just trying to find herself; and making the "perfect" bowl of ramen noodles consumed and fulfilled her. It was such a reminder that often your passion finds you if you are courageous enough to let it.
I remember when I used to read Maxim years ago, and she was in the magazine, I loved her interview and her pictures were phenomenal; it was the first time I can remember truly appreciating the female form. She is/was beautiful and will be deeply missed by her family and her legion of fans.
I watched Riding in Cars with Boys last night and was thinking about how awesome she was as Fay. The lady could work the physical comedy and somehow make it seem like it was just part of her natural awkwardness.
I really loved her. She was especially lovely in Love and Other Disasters (I don't even remember the content of that movie, just that she was so charming and pretty). She looked like a mix between Audrey Hepburn and my old best friend in that movie, and I was kind of taken with her for that reason.
She did quirky adorable so well. I came across Love and Other Disasters one night on cable last year and decided I loved watching her no matter what people said.
I also wanted a green card marriage with a faux gay husband after watching that. I'm kinda suggestible.
@andromache: A vegan friend tried to do that to me to get me to stop eating meat. That same day I went out and a got a hamburger with chicken strips. Nothing pisses me off more then scare/shock tactics.
@AfroJezeBella: Same. Also, I think the people who throw red paint on fur really support the industry. If I was wearing fur, and someone fucked it up, do they really think I'd go "oh well"? No. I'd buy a NEW thing. And probably more new stuff while I'm at it.
@femme-bot: THE IRONY is disgustingly true. Why not? I mean after the person so-called voicing their distaste for the fur then initiates more purchases of the fur they hate.
@andromache: Yeah, I love it when instead of trying to appeal to me as a rational, considerate adult who doesn't like to make poor choices with her money, activists instead treat me like a child, to be scared into submission. That never backfires and makes people want to go eat so called "hate burgers" or buy fur even more.
@5ft of fury: in real life, I would never do something like throwing red paint on a fur coat. but it's nice to fantasize about it. I'm not stupid; I am fully aware that the best way to inform people about where their clothing and food comes from is to do it politely. but I am certainly allowed to WANT to do something as a gut instinct.
@andromache: Well yeah, we're allowed to want to do whatever the hell we feel like. But some people actually do whatever the hell they feel like, to the detriment of their causes. I mean, I'm allowed to want to punch people in the face but I don't. Not unless someone is assaulting me, say, by throwing shit at me.
My friend went to this show: she said it was freezing, Riri was a horrible performer and couldn't be bothered to interact with the audience who'd been waiting for 4 hours, they played each song twice because it was being taped, and then Jay-Z showed up and was awesome. But my friend did not say anything about the horrific coat.
@lafleur: I've seen Rihanna live and she was terrible. She would turn her head away from the mic evvvvery time she had to hold a note, so that it wouldn't be so obvious (?) that she couldn't sing. It was pretty sad.

Certainly nothing to write home about but she is endearing nonetheless.
