Brittany Murphy falls victim to Howard Stern Show vacation death curse


Brittany Murphy
was pronounced dead Sunday morning at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood, California.  Brittany Murphy, who starred in films such as 'Clueless' and '8 Mile,' reportedly died of cardiac arrest while in her shower.   Brittany Murphy is the first celebrity to be struck down by the Howard Stern Show vacation death curse since the show went on holiday break on Thursday.
 
What started as an urban legend circulated on Howard Stern Show related fan sites about big name stars dropping dead every time the Howard Stern Show goes on vacation has turned into an eerie truth--or at least a pretty freaky series of coincidences.
 
When the Howard Stern Show was on vacation in August, Senator Ted Kennedy kicked the bucket and left Howard Stern Show fans freaking out for a full week waiting to hear Howard Stern reaction.  Howard Stern had roasted ridiculed and imitated Ted Kennedy for decades on the Howard Stern Show and was on of his 'go to' characters.

Michael Jackson dropped dead within hours of the Howard Stern Show's extended two week summer vacation in late June--along with Farrah Fawcett and Billy Mays.  Many Howard Stern Show fans fumed at being forced to wait a full two weeks to hear commentary on the death of the King of Pop by the King of All Media.

Brittany Murphy may not be Michael Jackson, but her death could be the first of many over the next week thanks to the Howard Stern show vacation death curse.  Brittany Murphy was the star of an oft-played Howard Stern Show clip in which red carpet interviewer Gary Garver caughter her babbling incoherently at a Liza Minelli tribute.

Brittany Murphy's has additional relevance to for the Howard Stern Show as rumors are already flying that Brittany Murphy's death was related to her alleged heroin use.  Howard Stern Show sidekick Artie Lange has made his own struggles with heroin addiction an integral part of the Howard Stern Show for years.  Artie Lange was absent from the Howard Stern Show last week, and speculating wildly on the possibility that Artie Lange has entered an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility or fired from the Howard Stern Show altogether by Sirius XM management.
 

In addition to her film roles, Brittany Murphy also provided the voice for the character Luanne on King of the Hill, which had its series finale earlier this year.  Brittany Murphy was 32-years-old.

    "She's dead, but was she hot?" You should be ashamed of yourselves to stoop so low. You'll get no more hits from me.

    why isn't howard stern on the poll he deserves it most. the curse is stupid all these people you mention weren't surprise deaths even billy mays after you hear about the cocaine use.

  • Ted 2 years ago

    I think all that this so-called 'curse' shows is that Howard takes a hell of a lot of time off.

    People click the report this button and report this idiot here and on her The View site for off topic, poor taste articles!

    Maybe Tiger should pick up the funeral tab in hopes this story has tabloid legs.

    Reporting this (if you were brave you would leave YOUR examiner title because let's face it, you ARE an examiner): What does The View have to do with this? She is writing here as the Howard Stern Examiner. Grow up and stop harrassing other Examiners. YOU make this a bad site.

    There's no shortage of humans on this planet. My vote is for Artie being the next to croak. The hundreds of animals he stuffs his immense gut with annually (and who is so mean-spirited toward) would like to vote for him, too.

  • Bill Me 2 years ago

    Howard has way to many vacations. Hell he already gets Fridays off. Oh wait he did say SOME Fridays.

    We, the howard stern fans, talk about these celebrity deaths ALL THE TIME. It always happens this way. The worst part about the Brittany Murphy death is that we have to wait SO LONG before we can hear his rant about Brittany's death and her sketcy husband.

    I can believe that out of all the beautiful picture that have been taken of Britney, the most sought after picture is a Autopsy picture. Shameful, That breaks my heart. What has happen to are compassion? I personally loved watching her act and my heart is so sad. Please let her die in peace and respectfully
