Brittany Murphy's 17 First Dates
Not only is onetime It-Girl Brittany Murphy willing to flout the industry's standard rules about fraternizing with the underclass by getting engaged to a PA from one of her movies, she compounds the egregious social code violation by refusing to put out in a timely fashion:
Brittany told US based People magazine: "I just knew he was a nice guy - and devastatingly handsome. I asked him to go to the movies and dinner. It was the first time in my life that I ever asked someone on a date."
She added: "We made it to date 17 without kissing. It's a true, old-fashioned romance."
Murphy doesn't come off as such an old-timey prude when you realize that dates 1-16 probably consisted of her PA plaything delivering blended coffee drinks to her trailer, stubbornly refusing to realize that "I said soy frappuccino, you stupid set-monkey!" was actually a pretty transparent romantic overture. On Date 17, a shared moment at the craft services table in which Murphy subtly demonstrated the desired result of her flirtations with a hot dog and a glazed Krispy Kreme, he finally got the hint, and a beautiful relationship was born.
