MURPHY’S WORLD HOT DATE... t has been a whirlwind year for RAP Brittany Murphy. To start with, she Igraced the covers of tabloids as arm candy for Just Married co-star Ashton Kutcher, who is now ubiquitously dating her. Murphy also made the cover of Cosmo and hit number 32 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list. That’s bona fide hotness! Her career went into hyperdrive with a memorable turn in 8 Mile as Eminem’s, let’s just say, frisky girlfriend. At the film’s premiere, Murphy sported a giant rock on a significant finger but denied she was engaged to her date, Hollywood party boy Kutcher. The two were paired up as a young, doomed, married couple for 2003’s Just Married.
