Brittany Murphy...1977 - 2009

Brittany Murphy, the perpetually perky and slightly quirky actress who worked her way up from supporting parts to romantic leads after her breakout role in the film “Clueless,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 32.

Ed Winter, an assistant chief coroner in Los Angeles County, told The Associated Press that Ms. Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom and that the cause of death “appears to be natural.” He said that an official cause of death might not be determined for some time.

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. Sunday at the home that Ms. Murphy shared with her husband, Simon Monjack, a British screenwriter, in West Hollywood. Ms. Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. Sunday, said Sally Stewart, a spokeswoman for the hospital.

For more info on Ms. Murphy's tragic & surprising death, head over to the story on CNN.com.

YouTube's Top 5 Of 2009

Yesterday, I posted a sweet little mash-up of the biggest "Viral Videos" of 2009 from the fine folks over at Videogum. Today, You Tube (arguably, the BIGGEST on-line video source) gets in on the action with their list of the 5 most viewed videos of 2009.

For these lists, YouTube looked at view counts for the most popular videos this year and in some instances the combined views across multiple versions of the same video. And the winners are:

1. Susan Boyle - Britain's Got Talent (120+ million views)
2. David After Dentist (37+ million views)
3. JK Wedding Entrance Dance (33+ million views)
4. New Moon Movie Trailer (31+ million views)

The Best Of 2009!!!

If you're like me, you waste a lot (and I mean A LOT) of time watching videos your friends send you via e-mail. Your reactions range from "that was AWESOME" to "AAH HA HA HA" to "WTF did I just watch?"

Well, here they are for you - thanks to the good folks over at Videogum: The Best Viral Videos Of 2009! Enjoy!

Officially the COLDEST PLACE in NORTH AMERICA!!!

Just wanted to share an interesting factoid with everyone...

For those of you who didn't know, NOW2K broadcasts from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It's a great city to live in...home of the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL, the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL and host city to (literally) dozens of great festivals every year including the second largest Fringe Festival in the world.

However, earlier today, Edmonton was also the COLDEST CITY IN NORTH AMERICA!!! Early this morning, Environment Canada recorded temperatures of -46.1 Celcius with a wind chill of -58.4 Celcius (for our American friends, that's -50.1 and -73.1 Farenheit respectively) at the Edmonton International Airport. And those temperatures SHATTERED the previous record low of -36.1 Celcius (-32.9 Farenheit) which was set last year.

Hope you're staying warm wherever you are!
