1. I have mitral valve prolapse. It's not a life-threatening disease so I don't know what her husband is talking about. The only time it causes serious problems is when you go under anesthesia for surgery...

2. Really sad, maybe Simon could hook up with Jessica Alba or Megan Fox.

3. @ #1. Me too, but it's certainly not a disease. A condition? a thing? a nuisance?
   
   This guy is high as she was to believe his daughter wasn't addled to the gills.

4. Boy, that Monjack fellow is sexy!

5. Me too. I didn't know I had it until a nurse 'friend' from college decided to test out her stethoscope. For me, that thing is a boon!

6. What the hell did she see in that piece of shit? The fact that she married him makes me question her mental stability and judgement. Her mother seems completely stoned, probably on heavy duty anti-depressants. As for the 'she ate five plates of food' line - who the hell does he think he's kidding? She looked borderline anorexic to me with hardly any muscle mass. And no one needs that amount of prescription medication in their house. Nothing adds up here. Curious.

7. This greasy mother fucker and the crazy ass mother need to just STFU already. They are so disillusioned and full of shit. She pursued Hollywood and fame and got what she wanted. If she was so fucking fragile, she could have retired and found something else to do.

8. Amen, #7, amen...

9. I'll agree with everything but the meds comment Samantha. Wait.....is this thing on? Zombie guinea pigs? Wat!?!?

10. @Amy - Maybe that's what she was taking.

11. Allow me to repost something I posted elsewhere...
    --------------------------------------------------
    
    So let me get this straight. Brittany's loving, devoted, loyal saint of a husband and her mother, who in no way seems to be three shades of crazy, were on T.V and said the following.
    
    1) Brittany was absolutely not on any medication "for her mood, anorexia, (or) mental illness."
    2) Of the many prescription drugs found in the home that the two of them share, "most of them" were his.
    3) The only drugs Brittany ever took were Serafem and Vicoprofin, to treat severe menstrual cramps.
    4. Brittany and the studio came to a "mutual decision" that there was no point in her reprising her part from a huge international hit, even though you can pretty much show up for work in your pajamas and record your entire part in three days.
    
    Does anyone other than me find it *amazingly* coincidental that...
    
    a) Brittany Murphy has been dogged by rumors of eating disorders and erratic behavior for years now.
    b) Even though she weighed about 115 pounds with rocks in her pockets, Brittany still managed to not only have a menstrual cycle that appeared like clockwork, but have one that was so severe that she needed meds. Meds like Sarafem and Vicoprofin. Which just happen to be renamed versions of Prozac (used to treat eating disorders and mental illness) and Oxycodone (the most abused and addictive painkiller in the country.
    c) Her mother and husband knew the names of the obscure Sarafem and Vicoprofin, but the other medication mentioned was her husband's "anti-seizure" medication that went interestingly unnamed, even though you have to take it *every single day* for it to work.
    d) Anti-seizure medications are rarely abused due to a lack of euphoric effects, with the notable exceptions of phenobarbitol (a powerful sedative,) clonazepam (used to treat panic disorders), and gabapentin (used to treat depression, eating and bi-polar disorders, addictive, and has withdrawal effects that are highly pronounced in people with a history of alcohol and cocaine abuse.)
    e) One of the most common symptoms of withdrawal is uncontrollable, persistent vomiting.
    
    Naah, never mind. It's all just a coincidence. I'm sure of it.
    
    ------------------------------------------------
    Allow me to update this with one more thing.
    ------------------------------------------------
    
    Popeater reports that Brittany's husband has said that the anti-seizure medication that was found was Klonopin, which in a shocking - SHOCKING, I tell you! - which is also used to treat... panic, anxiety, and acute psychosis.

12. This is one train wreck I'm not entirely happy I slowed down for. Could we do Charlie Sheen instead?

    By anonymous, on January 21, 2010 16:53:22

13. what the hell? all of this time i figured monjack would barely be able to speak english... but he's got an english accent!
    what is going on here?
    i will never look at him the same again

14. Can you JUST LET IT GO? Your sinister soul just might be wrong. Imagine that. Have you no hope, no belief in anyone, anything? Shame. Not her story, but yours.

    By anonymous, on January 21, 2010 17:30:25

15. I apologize for the screaming nightmare of a job I did on the cut & paste of that post up there. It looks like it written by someone who was on medication for a slew of eating and anxiety disorders and swimming in a pool of opiates at the exact same time. My bad...

    By H.S. Thompson, on January 21, 2010 19:55:11

16. I didn't bother to read the previous comments, but I'm an intelligent and devoted reader of this weblog. Can't we just let her be an actress, excuse me, actor, that portrayed character number x in Seaquest DSV?

17. This would be interesting if it was about someone
    Who mattered
    Much like that dude who played the Joker, it's
    Just another young idiot who killed themselves
    Without doing anything of importance
    And all the leeches who sponged off them while
    They were alive and watched them die now come out
    For their 15 mins fame and try to cash in just a
    Little bit more.
    Seriously. Give us pix of Amanda Bynes in Maxim
    Or the hot little girl on 2-1/2 Men.

18. And hopefully the toxicology reports will say otherwise and embarrass these two fame whores.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 03:40:34

19. Those two look more like a couple than Britney ever did with that limey weirdo.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 04:03:07

20. that is as stupid as those tiger wood stories. all i've got to say is its ashame cause brittany seemed like a very beautiful woman.

21. I think its a shame that Brittany Murphy had to die so young when cunts like Lady Gaga are still roaming the land.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 06:40:49

22. 21. Brittany Murphy only got work because she was a jew that did what everyone in Hollywood does, lots of Coke. She had no more talant than the girl who got your coffee this morning. Lady Gaga is not a creation like Brit, she writes and she can sing, she may not be a beauty but dispite that she is bigger then anyone right now because she seems to be very respected amoung real musicians. She is not a bitch like Amy Winno another jew...so you must be a moron or a JEW! To compare an actress to anyone who is a real preformer is a mistake...

23. 1) - #22 "The Truth" is a braindead moron. Please ignore his idiotic ramblings.
    
    2) - Brittany Murphy was an OK actress; she was not a star, and does not deserve this level of hand wringing & brow beating. Honestly, she was way too highly strung & extraordinarily high maintenance; she married a low-level scum & all around douchebag who can't accept that he has culpability in her death & wants to blame everyone but himself for it. Enough already. She's gone now, let's move on.

24. Simon has to be the dealer to both of them. The mother is every bit as nuts as was she.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 16:12:59

25. #22 - So what you're saying is Brittany Murphy was one of the Hadera Murphys, eh?
    
    I like crazy people. I find their rants soothing.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 16:29:52

26. Oh LOOK everyone, herr Goebbels is posting on IDLYITW! And he chose "The Truth" as his login name. How cute. Feel the irony.

    By anonymous, on January 22, 2010 18:57:32

27. "The Truth" 7:48:28 has a problem with Jews evidently and is blind as well. Lady Gaga is actually very pretty and talented - but not a 'preformer' by any means.

28. I have a mitral valve prolapse too. So does my 63 year old father. It is not a serious condition. I do stay away from alcohol and caffeine--not b/c it is dangerous for me, but because these substances can trigger fatigue in people who have MVP. They are liars. The only problem you have to worry about w/ MVP is taking an antibiotic when you have invasive medical procedures done (and avoiding substances that trigger fatigue). argh.....
