"Like many of you, I was shocked at the news of Brittany Murphy&amp;amp;#8217;s passing yesterday. Many details about her death are still unclear but a few things are certain.Huffington Post reports that early Sunday morning, Brittany was taken to the emergency room at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center. Soon after arriving, she was pronounced dead. Medical examiners have not yet determined her official cause of death. Of course, there is much speculation about this; you can read more about Brittany&amp;amp;#8217;s story over at Vitamin G. For now though, I thought it&amp;amp;#8217;d be nice to focus on something a bit brighter. I think we can all remember exactly where we were in life the first time we saw Brittany sing &amp;amp;#8220;Rolling With the Homies&amp;amp;#8221; in Clueless. Let&amp;amp;#8217;s take a look at five things her characters taught us about love and friendship. Clueless: Changing yourself for a guy won&amp;amp;#8217;t make him like you. If he&amp;amp;#8217;s really worth your time, he&amp;amp;#8217;ll appreciate you for the person you really are. 8 Mile: Sometimes being direct is the best way to get what you want. When Eminem asks if he can take her out sometime, she responds &amp;amp;#8220;How about you take me somewhere right now?&amp;amp;#8221; Way to go, girl. Just Married: It&amp;amp;#8217;s important to plan for life, not just the wedding; the &amp;amp;#8220;honeymoon phase&amp;amp;#8221; can be a lot more difficult than most people let on. Happy Feet: It doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t get much better than singing and dancing with your closest pals. King of the Hill: We&amp;amp;#8217;re all good at something. Manger Babies, anyone? Your real friends will support your goals. Our deepest condolences go out to Brittany Murphy&amp;amp;#8217;s husband, family and friends. Do any of her movies have a special place in your heart?
