The Associated Press is reporting that Brittany Murphy's family informed officials that the actress was ill with flu-like symptoms before her death. An autopsy will be performed today. Brittany Murphy, who played Luanne on King of the Hill, died Sunday morning. She was only 32. So sad for her husband and her family, and all of her fans. Shocking, too, since she was so young. I hope nothing controversial comes out about her death that would tarnish her lovely image, and I hope we have answers soon.

Family Guy's Stewie Griffin will present the Top Ten List on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, December 21 at 11:35 p.m. on CBS. Peter Griffin previously delivered the "Top Ten Things I, Peter Griffin, Would Like to Say to America" on February 23, 2006. I'm hoping Stewie's list is Top Ten Things he wants for Christmas, like the death of Lois or a bigger blaster gun or world domination. Stewie is the perfect anti-Christmas character, really, so it will be, well, not a breath of fresh air, but certainly a departure of folks wishing for world peace.

Stewie also previously appeared on the Emmys with Brian. I'm not crazy about these animated crossovers into live action TV because these bits reek of ratings stunts and merchandise promotion. But if it's funny enough, Stewie will get a thumbs up from me.

Actress Brittany Murphy, who gave voice to Luanne on King of the Hill, died today in Los Angeles. She was only 32. There is no news yet as to the cause of death. I'm shocked and saddened that someone so young, so talented and so gracious, is gone. I hope we'll learn more soon.
