Brittany Murphy Marries Scruffy Screenwriter Simon Monjack?

Us Weekly is reporting that cutiepants Brittany Murphy has recently married scruffy screenwriter Simon Monjack.  What the hell?  How did that one slip by so easily, I wonder? 

29-year-old Murphy was seen partying with Monjack at the Kentucky Derby Saturday, where they were both sporting wedding rings.

An insider reveals, “[Murphy and Montjack] were drinking Crown Royal, and [they] didn’t want photographers to take pictures of their rings because they were waiting to make a formal announcement on Monday.”

The insider goes on to say that, “They were dancing in the V.I.P. section and around DJ Reach’s booth. They looked very excited, happy and jovial.”

This is the very first marriage for Britt, who was engaged not just eight months ago to another fella & also dated Ashton Kutcher.

Murphy’s rep did not comment,  no big surprise there.

Wow, Britt married.  Who knew?  And to this rather scruffy looking screenwriter?  What gives with that?
