SELFy Gossip Roundup


Our weekly recap of the SELFiest gossip out there! In today's roundup, unexpected tragedy, box office booms, sprung jailbirds and exciting engagements!

It deeply saddens us to report that SELFy star Brittany Murphy passed away on Sunday morning at the young age of 32. Her family, friends and peers continue to mourn this tragic loss.

James Cameron's Avatar (you know, that 3D flick with the blue aliens that everyone's been buzzing about for years?) raked in $232.2 million in box office sales worldwide in its opening weekend. Now, that doesn't come close to bringing in a profit after the studio's $400 million investment, but the studio seems to be focused more on this film's impact on the industry.

Hip-hop star T.I. was released from an Arkansas federal prison on Tuesday morning after serving seven of his 12 month sentence, and will complete his sentence in an Atlanta halfway house. He landed himself in prison after an attempt to purchase unregistered machine guns from an undercover agent (oops...).

This has been a week of serious splitsvilles for long-time Hollywood couples. The saddest in my book? The end of Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Seriously, they were so cute together. Other pairs that called it quits include off-and-on air coupleJamie Lynn Sigler and Jerry Ferrara, and Brody Jenner and Playmate girlfriend Jayde Nicole.

Luckily, it's not all tears and pints of ice cream for everyone; SELF January cover girl Carrie Underwood got engaged to her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher! No wonder she was glowing at our cover shoot.
