Police say the husband of deceased actress Brittany Murphy has been found dead.

The body of screenwriter Simon Monjack was found late Sunday night at his home in the Hollywood Hills, five months after the death of his wife.

Police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano says the preliminary cause of death is natural causes.

He tells The Associated Press that investigators are still at the scene early Monday and he does not have any more details on Monjack’s death.

Murphy died Dec. 20, after going into sudden cardiac arrest because of “drug intake,” according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office

Her death was ruled accidental, the result of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.

After quite a scary night with a “warning stroke,” Bret Michaels has been released from the hospital.

Doctors have diagnosed him with a Transient Ischemic Attack, according to his website, and they said that it is treatable.

On Bret’s website, his physician Dr. Joseph Zabramskiwrote: “I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so that he can be active with his family, attempt to attend the finale of Celebrity Apprentice and especially get back on the road to continue making music. Without a doubt, he is very determined to get healthy and make a 100 percent recovery. Medically speaking, it is a fantastic attitude, both mentally and physically, for him to have. However, Bret’s brain and body are not quite 100 percent yet, especially with the hole found in his heart.” He continued by saying Bret will be receiving outpatient care.

Although he has said that he wants to appear on the finale of Celebrity Apprentice, that is still up for debate. A rep told E! News that Bret will indeed appear as planned on this weekend’s live finale and his rep wrote on his site, “He is up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive but he has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again.”

Bret still has a concert planned for May 28 in Biloxi, Miss., at Hard Rock Live. We can’t wait to see him up and rocking soon!

Vienna Girardi will take the stage on the Dancing With The Stars finale. She will be dancing the Vieneese Waltz with her leading man The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka!

Chelsie Hightower tells PEOPLE.

“We had our second rehearsal today and surprisingly, Vienna is not nervous at all,” says Hightower, who danced for six weeks with Pavelka during the season. “If it were me, I think I’d be vomiting all night and not sleeping. But Vienna is doing really well and she’s so excited.”

Hightower says that like all of the other season 10 couples, she and Pavelka will take to the floor together and perform one last dance -– theirs is the Viennese Waltz — at the finale.

Girardi and pro Dmitry Chaplin will join them on the floor, “and then Dmitry and I will hand Jake and Vienna over to each other,” Hightower says. “It’s a slow, romantic waltz -– a simulation of a pre-wedding dance.”

While the Pavelka and Girardi have not made any formal wedding arrangements, they do plan to set up residence in Los Angeles when Dancing ends. Hightower says the two make a great pair.

I can’t wait to see how this goes down!
