Simon Monjack cancels Brittany Murphy scam
After pretty much every news outlet in the world went "You've gotta be fucking kidding me" in response to Simon Monjack charging admission for a Brittany Murphy memorial, the event was canceled last night, according to TMZ:
TMZ has learned guests for the event received the following email from someone at the Brittany Murphy Foundation, "So sorry but the memorial has been canceled due to an illness in the family."
We spoke with Rabbi David Baron, who was supposed to conduct the memorial, who told us when the call came in, the person who canceled never gave a reason.
In Simon Monjack's defense, it never had a chance of becoming the magical evening he expected when the coroner's office refused to turn Brittany Murphy's body into a functional marionette that can hold a credit card reader. At that point, it would've been a disgrace to her memory and artistic integrity to go on with the show. But, hey, thank God for mail fraud. Amirite?

Any stop and think if this guy killed her for her money and when he only received fifty four cents he pulled this stunt?

Anyone actually visit his site with the photos he took of her? Notice that she's not smiling in any of them AND there's even a photo of her holding a gun to her own head. Those are the photos that Simon Monjack shows off of his wife. No smiling. Gun to her own head. There's just something not right in all that.

@7 It's called professional photography. Maybe you're new to the world of fashion. I enjoyed the photographs, regardless of whatever drugs she died from and his attempts to get money out of it.

The memorial fell apart when the husband was told that he couldn't put a credit card reader in her vagina so that people could swipe their cards as they walked by.

I'm sorry, but I still can't believe that Brit was married to this. I know looks aren't everything, but the expression isn't "Looks don't mean a thing". I think I just threw up in my mouth a little!!!

I think some people was saying he was creepy because he really did creepy things, not based on looks alone.

Seriously, you invariably make me laugh and you're clearly a very smart guy so I am failing on every level to understand why it is that you keep persisting with this same fucking tired 4chan meme all the time.
Apart from the fact that every useless retarded cunt on the internet now bandies them around fucking everywhere and under all circumstances making them about as interesting and original as Lindsay Lohan not sticking a white hot poker up her ass, you're doing them all fucking wrong anyway. Amirite is never typed on its own. It's whatever you're saying and then amirite and the question mark is never, ever, ever included. To wit your version should be: But, hey, thank God for mail fraud amirite. It's an entirely rhetorical phrasing intended to demonstrate complete ambivalence on the part of the "questioner".
If you're going to use it, use it right but frankly using it any way just makes you look like all the other little fifteen year olds all agape at the whole OMFG 4CHAN /B/ EPIC WIN LULZ WIN WIN WIN! retards like they're brand new to the internet. Get a grip, man. Really.

I support same sex marriage! Any lesbian girls who would like to meet other girls here... It is really difficult to meet a lesbian girl in real life. We should not stay alone, go __lescupids.com__ and meet a lesbian baby for friendship~now~~

I don't know, but is it weird to put a picture of you kissing your now deceased wife on the website of a foundation that supposed to honor her?
