Brittany Murphy and the case of the missing collagen

What a subtle difference a month makes! Everything – hair, shirt, pearls, jacket, undereye circles - looks to be the same, except that the mouth has been significantly downsized to a mere sliver of its former self. It’s almost as if its contents got tired of Brittany’s inability to change her clothes and absconded to take refuge with the hopefully more diversifyingly attired Lara Flynn Boyle.

Oh Lara Flynn….why? She looks like she just got out of some very painful dental surgery.
She still has the same tiny eyes, but everything else has swelled enormously. She looks like Elizabeth Taylor in her fat period.
She seems to be slim elsewhere; she may be suffering from medication side effects – or it may be something called “starvation edema” (swelling caused by interstitial fluid imbalance).
Not a pretty picture with or without the collagen
Britanny is really i great actress…I really cried when I hear the bad news that she already passed away…
