Why is it so relevant?

When Brittany Murphy died, the Mail never ran a single headline along the lines of 'Straight actress found dead in her home at 32'.

So why this?:

  1. But as Jan Moir taught us, Having The Gay is a leading cause of death in the young.

  2. Surely mentioning her engagement to Tila Tequila is enough? Maybe if they don't make it crystal clear the readers will sit there spluttering "but- wha- huh? Wait, so... Huh?" Maybe the 'it's just a phase/they just haven't found a nice man/woman' mentality is still going strong.
