Brittany Murphy's husband tells People that prescription medications were his
Simon Monjack, the husband of the late Brittany Murphy, tells People that many of the prescription medications found in their house at the time of her death were for his use. Monjack, in his first interview since Murphy’s death on Dec. 20, tells People that the actress had been suffering from “laryngitis and flu-like symptoms” at the time of her death.
Monjack, who is an oral cancer survivor, explains to People he suffers from migraines and seizures and also has a heart condition. He said that Murphy used Vicoprofen to treat pain from severe menstrual cramps. “She was on an antibiotic and was taking cough medicine,” Monjack says. “No [medications] that could have possibly led to her heart attack.” The toxicology reports to determine Murphy’s cause of death are still pending.

Wyclef Jean tells Oprah he started Yele with $1 million of his own money
Haiti-born, Grammy-winning musician Wyclef Jean appeared on today’s Oprah Winfrey Show, during which he showed personal videos from his trip to Haiti following the Jan. 12 devastating earthquake. Jean also further denied claims that he had used funds from the Yele Haiti foundation for his personal gain. “The attack on me, it basically came because once we started our movement, no one was focused on Yele until they noticed that we [were] raising $1 million a day after the earthquake,” Jean told Oprah. “What that did was it rose a lot of eyebrows.”
He reiterated: “I have never in any form taken payment for myself. As a matter of fact, when I was starting my charity, I put my first million dollars in.”
Jean did admit that mistakes had been made with Yele. “I think definitely when you’re starting a business, it’s important to have the right people around you. When you’re starting a foundation, it’s even more important,” he said. “I think that it was poorly ran, and I think that we have learned from our mistakes. Moving forward, I think we’re going to be stronger than ever.”
He described his hometown of Port-au-Prince after the quake as “an apocalypse” and said “the entire city feels like walking into a morgue.” Still, he did tell Oprah that the spirit of the people was still evident when he visited with his wife and cousin. “People were singing every night. Despite what they were going through they were still singing ‘Amazing Grace,’” he said.
Oprah also welcomed singers Rihanna and Maxwell to perform on today’s episode. Their performances are now available on iTunes to benefit relief efforts in Haiti.
Jean will also co-host Friday’s Hope for Haiti telethon with George Clooney.
