brittany murphy was poisoned to death?

apparently her father has always suspected foul play and had some hair and tissue samples analyzed and the results indicate rat poison. also, her husband died in basically the same way 5 months later. not cool. not cool.

this adorable cancer kid had the best day ever

make a wish enlisted thousands of volunteers in san francisco to make him a superhero for a day. wink.

and while we're discussing things you should and should not read:

i know it seems like something you should avoid, and i did avoid it for a couple of days, but my morbid curiosity won out in the end, and i read the nymag "my abortion" feature. i have to say it was quite illuminating and moving at times and only contained a couple of medical nightmares, so i encourage you, especially, to check it out.

BUT.

whatever you do, do NOT read this new yorker piece about a woman who had a late-term miscarriage while traveling in mongolia. do. NOT. i haven't been able to close my eyes all week.

i clicked on this for the photo alone, but was rewarded with a pretty good article about the man behind the infamous levittown development.

i recommend it to you personally. if you're into old timey new york glamour, the beginnings of suburban development strategies, or falls from grace type stories. CLICK.

tonight is liz herber's going away party (you're invited) and i just know it's going to be exactly like this.

thx ms danglez.
