Simon Monjack launched Brittany Murphy Foundation

Now we can all properly grieve Brittany Murphy . . . and it will only cost $1,000. That's how much her widow Simon Monjack is charging to attend the launch of the new "Brittany Murphy Foundation" this Thursday. No word yet if he's setting up a VIP section at the event with bottle service and strippers. From Us Weekly:

On Thursday, Murphy's husband Simon Monjack is hosting a launch party to celebrate the Brittany Murphy Foundation, which is dedicated to arts education for children. (Monjack claims he started the foundation with $1 million of his own money.)

A source tells UsMagazine.com he is suggesting dollar amounts of $1,000 per individual and $10,000 from corporations to attend the event, which takes place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.

Says a source, "Everyone thinks it's very tacky that he is making it so much about money."

I know it's easy to criticize Simon for charging so much, but honestly, who among us can say they wouldn't try to turn a profit on their significant other's death, just 44-days after it happened? Give the guy a break. It's not like the mortgage is just paying itself.

I can't find any listing for such a corporation with the CA Secretary of State. The website also has no details on whether donations are tax-exempt.

Ithink it is brand new and a foundation, not a corporation. It is a touching thought and rememberance for a talented lady who died to young.

Maybe the foundation will help promote national health care, so that more deaths like Brittany's will not occur.

I had a thousand i was going to send down to Haiti, but wait.....

That was before I learned that I could support possibly anorexic/bulimic dead actresses, and the husbands who may or may not have killed them with prescription drugs!!!!

People pay more than that just to sit in the same room with a politician and eat a bad meal.

Brittany, was a star and a celeb, and for that she should be remembered. RIP
