A Brittany Murphy biopic has been made. The '8 Mile' actress died in December 2009 aged 32 from pneumonia and other causes, with her husband Simon Monjack passing away from the same illness just five months later, and now her life story will be played...

Robin Williams' daughter has quit Twitter.
Grieving Zelda Williams was left sickened when she received abusive messages from two users, who also sent her Photoshopped pictures of her father - who took his own life on Monday (11.08.14) - supposedly after his death.
She first urged her followers to report the trolls, before announcing she was taking a break from the social media site, possibly forever.
She wrote in a tweet which she then deleted: "Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I'm shaking. I can't. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won't open it. Don't either. Please (sic)
She then wrote: "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."
The two users' accounts have now been suspended.
Following her father's shock death, 25-year-old Zelda used the social network to pay tribute to him.
She shared a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's literary classic 'The Little Prince' that reads: "You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... You - only you will have stars that can laugh."
She added: "I love you. I miss you. I'll try to keep looking up, Z."
She later released a moving statement in honour of her father, as did her half-brother Zak, 31, younger brother Cody, 22, and her mother - the actor's second wife - Marsha Garces.

Kerry Katona could miss her own hen party.
The Atomic Kitten singer - who will marry George Kay next month - has been left in agony with a shoulder injury and is in so much pain, she is concerned she will miss out on celebrating her single days overseas with female friends.
She tweeted on Monday (11.08.14): "Think I'll be the only hen to have a hen party and not be there the way this pain is carrying on!!!! Rotator cuff! (sic)".
And Kerry - who has four children from her previous marriages and three-month-old daughter Dylan-Jorge with the former rugby player - felt even worse yesterday (12.08.14) as she was also hit with a migraine, so had an early night in a bid to get rid of the crippling headache.
She tweeted: "Have had the worse migraine ever today plus this bloody shoulder! In bed getting some sleep got a big day tomorrow xxxxxx (sic)"
Luckily, the sleep seemed to do the trick, though her shoulder is still causing her problems.
She wrote this morning (13.08.14): "Good morning people, omg I feel sooo much better thank goodness!! Still in pain with my shoulder but my headache has gone!! Have a great day (sic)"

Frances Bean Cobain has offered her support to Robin Williams' daughter.
The 21-year-old artist - who was just 20 months old when her father, Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain, committed suicide - told Zelda Williams she will be there for her "wherever, whenever" after her actor dad took his own life on Monday (11.08.14).
Frances - whose mother is Hole rocker Courtney Love - tweeted: "@zeldawilliams You have such an incredibly beautiful soul. I love you but you already knew that. Wherever, whenever u need me I'll be there (sic)".
Zelda, 25, has released a lengthy statement in tribute to her dad in which she admitted she will "never, ever understand" his actions.
She said: "While I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it's a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that."
Elsewhere in her statement she recalled the last time they spent the day together, thanked fans for their support and told Robin's critics he would be laughing at them.
She also said: "My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments...
"To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favourite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too...
"Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I've ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colourful and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again."

Justin Bieber has reportedly reached a plea deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case.
The 'Believe' hitmaker - who was arrested seven months ago - is said to have agreed to attend anger management classes and will plead guilty to careless driving and resisting an officer without violence in exchange for prosecutors dropping the DUI charge, sources told the Miami Herald newspaper.
According to the insiders, the 20-year-old singer - who is not expected to attend a hearing for the case in Florida this afternoon (13.08.14) will attend a 12-hour private anger management course as it is feared public sessions would turn into a "frenzy".
He will also have to view online videos of stories of real-life DUI cases with tragic ends, pay court fines and a $50,000 donation to charity.
The singer's friend Khalil Sharieff, who was arrested at the same time when they allegedly drag raced, is expected to receive a similar plea deal.
Miami police arrested the pair in January for racing down Pine Island Drive, which had been blocked off by the star's security team, and the 'Baby' hitmaker was said to have unleashed a string of expletives when stopped by officers.
Police claimed Justin admitted smoking marijuana and taking prescription medication, with a urine sample testing positive for the drug and anxiety pills Xanax.
However, his blood-alcohol levels were well below the legal limit and he didn't appear intoxicated in police surveillance videos.
Last month, the singer was placed on two years of probation and required to take anger-management classes, complete community service and pay compensation after pleading no contest to egging and vandalising a neighbour's house.

Bradley Cooper has moved Suki Waterhouse into his mother's home.
'The Hangover' star - who has been dating the British model since March last year - is happy for the 22-year-old beauty to stay in his mother Gloria's home in Los Angeles while she attends auditions in the city, even if he isn't around.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "When Suki is in LA by herself for auditions she'll stay in the house with Gloria. They get on well and it doesn't matter that Bradley isn't around. He's often away in London working."
Bradley, 39, is also believed to have stayed with Suki's parents while he was filming in London, sparking yet more speculation that an engagement could be on the cards for the pair.
Rumours that the couple are planning to tie the knot first emerged last month when it was reported that the hunky actor and his stunning girlfriend were already planning their big day to coincide with Bradley's 40th birthday.
A source said at the time: "Bradley wanted to wait until his 40th before getting hitched as he's been married before. It's very important for him now that they seal their love.
"Bradley and Suki spend a lot of time daydreaming and planning their nuptials.
"They know they want to get hitched in the States, most likely LA, because they want it to be hot. But it's likely to be a very small, private affair."

Robin Williams' children have released moving statements in tribute to their late father.
The 63-year-old actor was found hanged at his home in California on Monday (11.08.14) and his kids Zak, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody, 25, have recalled their "kind and gentle" dad, as well as thanking fans for their support.
Paying tribute to his "best friend", Zak said: Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer.
"I will carry his heart with me every day. I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought."
Zelda - who already released a brief tribute on Twitter - recalled the last time she spent with the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star.
She said: "My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that's gone, and I feel stripped bare.
"My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments."
She also admitted she will never understand his actions and addressed his critics.
She added: "While I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there's minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn't help the pain, but at least it's a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.
"To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favourite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you've had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too."
Cody vowed to carry his father's memory with him at all times until they reunite in death.
He said: "There are no words strong enough to describe the love and respect I have for my father. The world will never be the same without him. I will miss him and take him with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life, and will look forward, forever, to the moment when I get to see him again."
Marsha Garces, Robin's second wife and Zelda and Cody's mother has also issued a statement, in which she said her heart had been "split wide open" and urged fans to remember the "gentle, loving, generous, brilliant and funny" star.

Robin Williams attended an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting the day before he died.
The 63-year-old actor - who checked into rehab in June in a bid to continue to stay sober - was found hanged at his home on Monday (11.08.14), the day after he was last seen alive by wife Susan Schneider, and an old friend said he had been seeking support that weekend.
Comedian and fellow AA member Argus Hamilton said: "He was at a meeting on Saturday. He had got out of rehab and was sober at the meeting."
The 'Hook' star - who first quit drinking in 1982 but relapsed for three years from 2003 - is said to have becoming increasingly isolated after his recent rehab stint to "fine-tune his sobriety".
One source said: "He was battling his demons and had become very isolated."
Another added to The Sun newspaper: "He became a recluse. He checked into rehab and then shut himself away at home."
The 'Crazy Ones' actor - who had children ZaK, 31, Zelda, 25, and Cody, 22, from previous relationships - was described by neighbours as a "shell of himself" and obviously unhappy in recent weeks, though still nice to everyone.
One local resident said: "He was a shell of himself.
"He looked very drawn and thin, not like the Robin who first moved here many years ago.
"He seemed exhausted and not in the best spirits, but still the nice guy I had always known. He was in a bad place emotionally."

Dave Bautista should "exploit" his wrestling fame to get more starring roles in Hollywood, according to WWE star Paul Heyman.
The manager is thrilled that Dave's movie 'Guardians of the Galaxy' has performed so well across the globe and thinks Dave - who plays Drax the Destroyer in the film and competes in WWE under the moniker 'The Animal' Batista - should capitalise on his success
When asked what he thought of wrestlers who have made the switch to Hollywood, Paul exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I mean, Bautista may be in the number one blockbuster of the summer so I can't see how that hurts one's ability to exploit his own name."
The 47-year-old WWE veteran - who has just released his own behind-the-scenes DVD 'Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name is Paul Heyman' - also had a lot of praise for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who plays the title character in 'Hercules' and has previously starred in the 'Fast & Furious' film series as well as many other movies.
Paul shared: "As for The Rock; The Rock was the highest grossing movie star of 2013 so it's very hard to knock his decision to do the slate of movies that he has picked.
"I have seen several of The Rock's films and I look forward to seeing 'Guardians of the Galaxy', I've not seen it yet. They had a huge premiere when I was in California the other week but I had a chance to fly home a day early so I took advantage of that opportunity. I have seen 'Hercules' and I admired Irina Shayk's performance."
Paul is getting ready to be in the corner of his client Brock Lesnar when he challenges WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena at 'SummerSlam', which can be seen live on Sunday night (17.08.14) on Sky Sports Box Office.
