Brittany Murphy death predicted by Perez Hilton on radio show

Not only is Brittany Murphy's death not a hoax, as some are blogging for some reason, it was predicted by Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira) this month. The death hoax claims are cruel and unnecessary, just to get that out of the way.

Some may find Perez Hilton infuriating - and he bills himself as having Hollywood's most hated website - but Perez Hilton does know Hollywood and the players within it. Including Brittany Murphy.

According to NBC San Diego, Perez Hilton appeared on the morning radio show AJ in the Morning earlier in December. Hilton was asked if there would be another celebrity death "headed in the same path" as Michael Jackson.

His response was "Brittany Murphy, maybe."

According to the same NBC source, Murphy was said to have an eating disorder earlier in he career and that some believed it was tied to an alleged cocaine habit. Murphy denied these allegations in 2005.

On his blog, Hilton hinted at this with his first post on Murphy:

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton wrote:

Absolutely devastating. Especially because this comes as no surprise! We, and those who knew Brittany personally, saw this coming. That does not make this any less horrible.

Stay tuned.
