The Brittany Murphy Foundation is a foundation in name alone -- because according to state and federal records, it does not exist.


The foundation -- launched by Brittany's widower Simon Monjack and her mom Sharon Murphy -- has been touted as a charity dedicated to arts education for children, and has been soliciting funds through a website since last month.

TMZ has discovered, however, the foundation is not registered as a charity with the IRS or the state of California, as required by law.

The California Secretary of State's office told TMZ there are no records for The Brittany Murphy Foundation. The state Attorney General's office also has no record of the organization as a nonprofit group -- and the IRS says the foundation has not filed for a non-profit license.

By law, any foundation soliciting money has to disclose the fact that it is not registered as a nonprofit.

On Friday afternoon, the Brittany Murphy foundation website did not have any such disclosure. The site was taken "down for maintenance" one hour after TMZ called the foundation for comment.

The foundation spokeswoman at Larkin Rivero Management -- where donations were directed to be mailed -- had no comment.

Monjack did not respond to our e-mail.

If this is all true, they both should go to prison for a very long time.

I seriously hope the police dig deep and investigate both her mom and husband. This all sounds fishy.

I thought the whole thing was fishy right from the start. The husband especially always struck me as odd.

They lost their meal ticket when Brittany died. I don't doubt they loved her, but I don't trust them.

Same here Janice, something just seems rotten in all of this.

Especially in the case of her mother - she and Brittany were supposedly so close.

Britney seemed like such a nice girl. I never did like her husband.

That's pretty damn low.

I'm not surprised about the mom being involved. I read a couple of years ago that Brittany's dad did time in federal prison for drug charges and that he claims he was involved with the mob. Brittany probably has always a dysfunctional family life.

:rolleyes:

With a family like hers, I am surprised she was such a nice person. I recently watched
a TV movie she did in 1996 called Double Jeopardy in which she played a teenage girl
who was a waitress who was murdered by a Police Officer(played by Joe Penny) who
was married(the wife was played by Teri Garr) and having an affair with her and killed
her because he got her pregnant and did not want the affair to be discovered. It was
based on a true story that took place in Baltimore in 1993 and Brittany did a wonderful
job in her role. Her character came across as sweet and nice as she apparently was
in real life. The movie can found on youtube-just type in Brittany Murphy Double Jeopardy.

I think so, too. Poor girl. :( :mad:

Yes, she truly was the white sheep of the family.
