...Brittany Murphy death photo." Jeez.) Reports abound of erratic behavior on her recent films: she was fired from one, and on another she seemed so addled that another character had to be hastily written in to pick up Murphy's slack. No question that she had lately achieved the wraith look, and there was apparently a volcanic side to her marriage to the English screenwriter Simon Monjack - whose most prominent credit was the script for the bio-pic Factory Girl, about Edie Sedgwick, the Warhol superstar, dead of a drug overdose in 1971. Pop psychologists combed Murphy's filmography...
...like saying this flesh stuff coating your skeleton presents maintenance issues occasionally. But the movie offers insights that lift it beyond the realist version of The Devil Wears Prada. For more than two decades, it seems, Wintour, 59, has been in a codependent relationship with a flame-haired wraith named Grace Coddington, Vogue's creative director and resident genius.

Listening to “Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse,” a saccharine tune about chemical dependence, is like watching the video to old single “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games,” in which cute happy creatures meet grisly ends. It perfectly sums up the ethos of deceptively sweet Of Montreal...
...inevitably supporting. That's the case with Walk the Line, even though it means to trace the growing love story that snuck up on him and June Carter, princess of the singing Carter Family. Carter was Cash's polar opposite: sun to his shadow, a pixie to his wraith, as chatty as he was withdrawn, a natural comic at home in the limelight - whereas he seemed to have been dragged on stage to testify to the crimes and heartbreaks in his songs. (As she well knew, having co-written ?Ring of Fire? for Cash.) Reese Witherspoon captures Carter's raised...
