Hands where we can see them, peopleHey, nothing like keeping it in the family, right? retch retch

I've always had my suspicions about the relationship between Simon and his wife's mother since Brittany died, and apparently I'm not alone. One of the best reporters in the biz, Bill Zwecker of The Chicago Sun Times, says that Brittany's friends are telling him about the "creepiness" of it all - four months after her death, her husband and mother are still living together in the house she bought and died in. Simon and Sharon claim there is nothing inappropriate about their living arrangements; they're collaborating on a book together. About Brittany, of course.

BrittanyWell that was quick, wasn't it? And unfortunately, it's also not surprisingly in the least. The LA County Coroner has ruled Brittany's death was caused by "community acquired pneumonia, iron deficiency anemia, and multiple drug intoxication", according to TMZ. That pretty much means that like Anna Nicole Smith, Brittany had some serious health issues but the people around her kept her too f**ked up to seek proper medical treatment.

Perhaps that's the real reason Slimy Simon canceled his fundraiser grand opening for his Brittany Murphy Foundation, a new non-profit he's founding with no clear goals or organization but worth, in his mind, $1,000 a plate. Perhaps Simon's thinking about the prescription bottles found with his name on them ... or all those ATM withdrawals investigators may find.

Will Simon, or anybody else, face charges over Brittany's death? It remains to be seen, but obviously someone dropped the ball. I wonder how long it will be before Brittany's mom (and heir) gets sick of his malarkey and sends him to the curb.
