VATICAN CITY – A woman jumped over a barricade in St. Peter’s Basilica at the start of Pope Benedict XVI’s Christmas Eve mass on Thursday and the pope slipped and fell, but he got up and began the service, a Vatican spokesman said.
Father Federico Lombardi said the woman appeared to be "unstable." She was taken away by Vatican security.
As security aides tried to stop her, the pope and an elderly cardinal fell to the marble floor of the basilica in the confusion.
The pope, 82, was helped back to his feet and, apparently unharmed, walked up the main aisle of the basilica and continued the service. He later read his homily and appeared unaffected by the incident.
The woman was being detained for questioning by Vatican security police.
A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it." The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?" The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me." The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?" The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?" The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know." A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?" The man said yes ,and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison!"
32-year-old actress, Brittany Murphy, who gained fame in such movies as "8 Mile" and "Just Married," died about 10:00 am on Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to the hospital.
Murphy was transported to the medical centre after the Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. at the home she shared with her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, in the Hollywood Hills.
"The cause of death appears to be natural," Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said, adding that Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom, "authorities are looking into her medical history, an autopsy is planned for Monday or Tuesday," Winter said.
Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, said he learned of her death from his son, the actress's brother, and was stunned.
He said he hadn't heard much about the circumstances of Murphy's death. Bertolotti divorced her mother when Murphy was young and hadn't seen Murphy in the past few years.
"She was just talented," Bertolotti said. "And I loved her very much."
Brittany was born on November 10, 1977, in Atlanta; she grew up in New Jersey and later moved with her mother to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
Her career started in the early 1990s with small roles in television series, commercials and movies. She is best known for parts in "Girl, Interrupted," "Clueless" and "8 Mile."
Her on-screen work had lessened of late, but Murphy's voice gave life to numerous animated characters, including Luanne Platter on more than 200 episodes of Fox's "King of the Hill" and Gloria the penguin in the 2006 feature "Happy Feet."
She is due to appear in Sylvester Stallone's upcoming film, "The Expendables," set for release next year.
She dated Ashton Kutcher, who costarred with Murphy in 2003's romantic comedy "Just Married."
Kutcher sent a message on Twitter Sunday morning about Murphy's death: "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine," Kutcher wrote. "My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
