Love Is Truly Blind

Brittany Murphy has been married to Simon Monjack for almost 6-months now and I'm shocked. This is one of those marriages that I figured would last like 2-seconds. It was rumored that Brit only married Simon, so he could stay in the country.

Here's Brit and her gorge husband at a Motorola party last night. Brittany has never looked better and now I know why she married bigfoot. She looks like a tiny, cute pixie next to him. Marrying a fug guy makes you look fab by comparison.

That makes two of us. I figured they'd split the sheets in record time.

I've always liked Brittany.

She looks really happy, good for her!

Is he rich or something?! I doubt she'd give him the time of day if he was the Maytag repair man.

I heard a rumor (or read one) that he's a con artist. No explaining what she could possibly see in this one!

This story is so incredibly mean-spirited. As if looks are the only reason to marry anybody. God.

Again, DListed is based on bitchy, catty commentary not to be taken seriously.

And this Monjack guy IS a con-artist. Credit fraud, apparently, and his visa was about to expire right before she married him. *edit-it was expired, so he was about to be deported. I googled:

Brittany Murphy and Factory Girl writer-executive producer Simon Monjack shocked friends, family and celebrity gossip readers in April by marrying after only four months of dating.

The couple skipped the proposal and honeymoon, exchanging Neil Lane rings in a surprise wedding in a private L.A. home with only their families present.

But now the happy bride’s inner circle is growing concerned about her new man’s history before he swept Brittany Murphy, 29, off her feet.

Among his troubles: two warrants for his arrest in Virginia for alleged credit-card theft and fraud; an unpaid $6,087 legal bill, and a $502,910 judgment against him by a British investment firm.

Moreover, Us Weekly reports in its new issue that Monjack gave a former fiancée, British film producer Taira Rafiq, an engagement ring he had told her was a diamond but was, in fact, cubic zirconia.

“Taira tried to get in touch with Brittany Murphy to warn her,” a Rafiq pal says.

Simon Monjack also was jailed earlier this year for overstaying his visa, and Murphy had to bail him out when he faced deportation.

“Simon began pushing for marriage, since he was going to be deported,” says a source, adding that Murphy paid for her own engagement ring.

Simon Monjack’s response to the Us Weekly story:
“It is a real tragedy that success, greed, envy and celebrity are the motivation for attacking my family and character.”
