Appearing on The Today Show, Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack talked about how his wife was depressed about losing the role of Gloria in "Happy Feet 2" because of ongoing rumors of her drug use.
He then begged Matt 'Mattie" Damon and Brad Pitt not to take roles in the animated film in honor of their friend Brittany's memory.
Monjack says Brittany was worried about her career in the days before her death.
"The week before she died, they're making 'Happy Feet 2' and she was offered the role of Gloria and Warner Brothers pulled the offer...I would say to Brad Pitt and Mattie Damon who have been offered the movie, really think about Brittany before you do it."
The toxicology reports relating to her cause of death have not yet been released.

Wow, to guilt Matt and Brad like that. Weird. Sad too. Hollywood is not to blame here. e missed.
I realize Simon is going thru a hard time. But truly, it's not Hollywood's fault. Bless her soul.
I believe that she may have been fired over false tabloid rumors. My friend was fired over office rumors/gossip that she was having sex in the office unisex bathroom on the second floor with a male coworker which were not true. Now she has been blacklisted from getting another office job somewhere else. I had contacted a friend that was my old office boss during my senior year work study on the job training program who has a reputation of thoroughly checking on whether or not rumors/gossip are true (which Warner Bros. apparently didn't do) because they need people to input data into Microsoft Excel, and she may be getting a phone call within a few business days. I won't be taking my sister to see this film (I am her transportation to the movies) if it is made.
