This Australian model/actress Sophie Monk isn’t known for much other than getting papped, dating Benji Madden before Paris got to him, and then getting engaged to a squat orange dude who happened to be a 51 year-old millionaire. She was dating a plastic surgeon in between Benji and the oompa loompa and she regrets using his services. Well she broke up with the last one earlier this month and recently called into an Australian radio show to explain why – they had a whirlwind romance, all the louboutins in the world could erase the memory of his “O” face, etc. She also said that she’s been leaning on her brother post-split and joked that she’s gone “Angelina” with him.

Australian actress Sophie Monk has talked about ending her engagement to American millionaire Jimmy Esebag for the first time.

Sophie, 31, who had claimed that Jimmy, who is 20 years her senior, was ‘the one’, added: ‘I just got carried away, I don’t know, it’s not reality LA, and you get a bit excited.’

‘I went too hard, too fast, we both did… I don’t want to talk too much because I feel bad, he doesn’t have the microphone.’

Sophie announced the engagement from her home in Los Angeles in January, saying that she and Jimmy had know each other for a long time as friends but had agreed to marry after dating for just three months.

Speaking to Sydney-based radio show 2DayFM today about the split, she also said she feels ready to start a family like her sister.

‘That’s pretty much what I should be doing right now.’

She also said she had become closer to her brother since the split, and compared them to Angelina Jolie and her brother.

‘It’s hilarious, we’ve been watching movies in bed and fall asleep in the same bed and I think ‘this is very Angelina of us’.
‘No, he’s my best friend in the world,’ she said.

Jimmy is chairman of the board of America’s Licencing Holding Group, which owns the rights to the Playboy brand and is involved with the Elite Modeling Agency in the United States.

It’s too bad that Angelina’s moments with her brother at the 2000 Oscars became a euphemism for incest, but it’s predictable. It was over the top and was one of those things she’ll never live down, like that time I put bubble bath in the hot tub over twenty five years ago. When you do something that’s really dumb people will remember and bring it up for the rest of your life. It’s obviously worse if you’re famous.

Even the National Enquirer referenced Angelina and James Haven’s Oscar kiss in their most recent issue. They wrote that Haven has been with his girlfriend for two years, actress Ashley Reign, (he’s straight?) and that he’ll be able to put the Oscar kiss behind him finally. Not bloody likely. Sometimes the dumb shit we do becomes like a catchphrase, funny at first, then impossible to shake off. Like Sophie’s plastic surgery, that orange dude she almost married or most of the outfits she wears.

Here’s Sophie with her ex fiance on 2/8/11. She’s shown alone on 9/11/10 and on 8/10/10.

OH NO!!! People Magazine has just announced that Sophie Monk’s engagement to sketch ball “businessman” Jimmy Esebag is OVER!!! Sophie announced her engagement to Jimmy in January, after the couple had only dated for five months. She even gave an interview where she discussed her love of sugar daddies (sort of) – so what was the problem? Why couldn’t these two crazy kids work it out?

Just six weeks after Sophie Monk shared her engagement news, she’s single again.

The surprise announcement came from Sydney on Sunday. While taping a new episode of Chelsea Lately, Chelsea Handler asked the Aussie model about her recent engagement to “that old guy,” French businessman Jimmy Esebag, 50. Monk, 31, shook her head, saying, ”I’m newly single.”

She even hinted that she might even ”turn Samantha Ronson.”

The news quickly spread from audience members via Twitter.

Ugh. Okay, it’s one thing to be a glorified hooker who “dates” for money and attention, and then it’s quite another to get “engaged” to one of your johns and wrap it all up in gooey love talk. And then it’s a fresh level of hell to break it off with the guy and announce that you’re going to “turn Samantha Ronson.” What’s wrong with this chick?!

Oh, well. At least she got to go shopping.

The other day, I made the Sophie-Monk-engagement story the lead link, thinking that barely anyone would care. Well, you did care! And how. So Sophie is 31 years old, and she’s now engaged to a 51 year old “businessman” that she’s only “dated” for three months. I called him a sugar daddy the other day, but that was me just being a HATER. Sophie has given a new interview to an Australian publication where she says that she knows that people are going to hate on her love match, but she doesn’t care. She also talks about all of the plastic surgery she’s had:

Sophie Monk has a regret or two when it comes to her looks — revealing that she wishes she had opted to stay natural and not bow to pressure to undergo plastic surgery.

The beautiful 31-year-old Australian is believed to have had botox, collagen injections and a breast enlargement in her bid to make it big in the US – something she now regrets.

“I should have said no, but I trusted the doctor,” she said to Australia’s Who magazine.

She also talked about her battle with weight: “The stress of this business tends to come out through my body. Either I eat too much or I eat nothing. I need to be more responsible for my body,” she said.

Monk once dated a plastic surgeon, Dr. John Diaz, as well as Ryan Seacrest and Benji Madden, but is now engaged to American businessman Jimmy Esebag, who is 20 years her senior.

The couple have been friends for years but started dating only three months ago — and the model says she couldn’t be happier.

“I’ve never had someone balance me out in a relationship before. They’ve either been workaholics too, or I needed to make the money for them,” she said. “With Jimmy, I just love everything about him. I know people are going to make remarks about us, but it doesn’t bother me. Jimmy is worldly and smart and I want to be with someone I can learn from. I love everything about him. He’s given me a new perspective on life.”

Wow, Ryan Seacrest, some dude who once dated Paris Hilton, a plastic surgeon who screwed up her face, and now a “bidnessman”? Sophie has truly appalling taste in men.

As far as the plastic surgery confession – if she has so many regrets, why is her face still so jacked with Botox? Seriously, she looks like a wax figure. Or a blonde Kardashian.

Here are some more pics of Sophie with her sugar daddy. Does anyone else think he looks like a creepy, mobbed-up version of Ciaran Hinds?

This news is sort of a non-event, but still, it’s looking like a slow news day, so what the hell. Back in June, Us Weekly reported the rumors that Hayden Chistensen and Rachel Bilson were on a “break”. The two had been engaged since February 2009, and there hadn’t been much in the way of wedding planning or excitement, so the news didn’t come as a big shocker. Plus, many of us feel that Hayden might be confused about his sexuality, but whatever. Anyway, Us Weekly got a hard confirmation from Rachel’s rep that the engagement is totally off. Still nothing from Hayden’s rep, although who knows if Harden’s rep is even answering his calls at this point?

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have officially ended their relationship, her rep confirms UsMagazine.com.

“Yes, the engagement is off, therefore, so is the wedding,” her rep tells Us.

In June, a source told Us the couple — who co-starred in the 2008 action flick, Jumper — were “taking about a month off” to evaluate their relationship. “They’re taking a break,” the insider added.

Around the same time, Bilson flashed a ringless finger to Us on the red carpet of a THQ/Take No Prisoners event in L.A. When asked how wedding plans were going, she said, “No, no plans” and pointed to her bare hand. “No nothing.”

Christensen, 29, and Bilson, 28, announced their engagement in February 2009.

Is it sad? Sure. Rachel really seemed to love Hayden, and I’m getting the vibe that she’s kind of heartbroken. I’m also getting the vibe that Hayden couldn’t care less, and that he’s working through his own sh-t right now. I’m hoping that Rachel gets her act together, career-wise, and comes back smart. Does she think she’s too good for another television show? She’s not. She’s a cutie, and she would be great on a smart television show. Also: I’d like to see her get a new stylist. But first we need to work on her career.

Also – Hayden was seen a few days ago with Sophie Monk? Are they hitting it? It doesn’t appear so, but you never know. Didn’t Sophie fake-date Ryan Seacrest at one point? Oh, this doesn’t look good.

Sophie Monk is out promoting a range of underwear, which obviously isn’t moving off Wal-Mart shelves as quickly as she’d like, so to drum up some free publicity, she thought she’d talk about Paris Hilton. It worked.

In case you aren’t entirely sure who Sophie Monk is, she a former Australian pop star who moved to Hollywood, and used to be engaged to Benji Madden. A short time after they split he was on with Paris Hilton.

I don’t think Benji dumped Sophie for Paris, though. He dumped her because she was bad in bed.

Speaking on breakfast radio this morning, Monk said she didn’t consider herself to be sexy before revealing what she thought of herself in the bedroom.

“I’m not a very sexy person, I’m very awkward,” the former Popstars babe told the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on 2DayFm.

“I’m probably bad in bed actually. I think I am a dud honestly. No one’s going to tell you you’re bad in bed.

“Why am I saying all this? You aren’t even asking the questions, I’m just bagging myself.”

Sydney Morning Herald

Isn’t there an old adage about beautiful women not being good in bed because they think that it is enough to just turn up and look good?

Sophie then went on to suggest that Paris hates her, maybe sort of, and that she’s possibly jealous of her.

When asked how she felt about reports that Hilton disliked her the former Popstars babe said: “I don’t know why she hates me, if she does, but I don’t hate her.”

“I hear it from the press, I don’t know where it’s coming from, but that’s cool she can hate me if she wants.”

Monk broke off her engagement with Good Charlotte guitarist Madden at the beginning of the year.

He was spotted with party girl Hilton just weeks later.

When asked if she thought Hilton was jealous of her, she said: “I guess you would be, would you? I don’t know,” before laughing awkwardly.

Sydney Morning Herald

Paris probably barely gives three seconds thought to Sophie Monk, since she’s got the guy. At best she probably rolls her wonky eyes and thinks “that little southern convict is talking about me again, time to create another myspace blog about how happy I am with her ex-fiancé.”

Sophie has a new reality show coming out, following her attempts to break into Hollywood (not into people’s homes, but into the industry) allegedly titled Bigger Than Paris.

Sophie Monk, the Australian reality actress/pop singer/woman in a bikini that used to go out with Benji Madden has a new title to add to her resume: Playboy nude model.

Formerly attached to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, Monk was approached by Playboy but the rocker didn’t like the idea of his girlfriend getting her gear off.

But now, with Madden dating Monk’s arch-rival Paris Hilton, the Aussie starlet is free to do as she pleases.

If she does go ahead with the deal, she will pick up a whopping $1 Million US.

Although nothing is confirmed at this stage, Sophie’s publicist Jenni Weinman wasn’t quick to deny a possible shoot.

“Playboy has always done classy portfolios, so I’m sure if this was real, it’s something that would be considered,” Weinman told News Limited

“I haven’t heard that she’s doing it and I haven’t heard that she isn’t.”

I wonder if Benji Madden’s mom is looking at her boy and just wishing he would take up with a woman famous for something besides nudity. Paris Hilton basically gained her notoriety from her sex tape, Sophie Monk is possibly most famous for appearing nude for PETA. Why can’t he just find some nice groupie instead of wonky faced girls who can’t keep their clothes on?

Sophie admitted to Australian radio that she can’t read about her former fiancé and his new girlfriend, saying “It’s just too real now, it’s not a joke.”

Sophie might be starring in a sitcom in the US, which is part reality/part comedy, that follows her trying to make a career in Hollywood. Do you think the writer’s strike had lasting repercussions for television? Due to the shortened seasons of major shows we’re getting filler programs in New Zealand, my favorite one being a show where they take obese animals and chart their weight loss, a biggest loser for cats. Hopefully we don’t have an actors strike, or we’ll get pets auditioning for Animal Idol.

Nicole Richie praised her baby daddy’s twin brother in her People interview, and revealed that Benji Madden is always willing to babysit her now seven week-old daughter, Harlow. Nicole also said that Harlow smiled for the first time at her uncle. According to ever-reliable Star Magazine, Benji is more of a nuisance than a help, and Nicole and Joel are said to have set him up with Paris in order to get him out of their house.

A source tells Star the 28-year-old Good Charlotte guitarist has holed up in his Glendale, California home, which he shares with his twin brother, Joel. Joe’s fiancée, Nicole Richie, and their new baby, Harlow. As a result, he “barges in on them all the time,” says the source. “Nicole insists that Joel lock their bedroom door at night because she’s afraid of Benji walking in on them.” The new arrangement is driving Joel and Nicole so crazy that they’re trying to set Benji up, adds the source!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, March 10, 2008]

According to Nicole’s People interview, Benji lives down the street, not in the same house, but he’s probably over there all the time. Who knows if this is true, but considering that Benji is with Paris now someone has to have a problem with him if they didn’t at least warn him against hooking up with her.

Benji’s ex girlfriend Sophie Monk spoke out earlier this week about rumors that the rocker left her for the heirhead. She wished her ex well, and made it clear that their breakup was mutual:

“Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that. We both decided, as adults, our relationship had run its course and decided to move on.”

She also said: “I feel no animosity towards Benji and Paris at all and am very happy with life at the moment.”

[From RTE.ie]

How embarrassing it must be to see your ex cavorting around with Paris Hilton in “notice me!” lookalike clothing. These two immediately hit all the paparazzi targets to let the world know they were together. People are speculating that he did it to make Sophie jealous after their breakup.

Meanwhile Star Magazine notes in the article we mentioned above that gorgeous Monk was seen out having brunch with a hunky video game director, James Rubin, on February 15. It looks like she’s moved on to someone more her speed while Benji has been reduced to playing tag along with Paris Hilton.

Paris and Benji are shown in the header out at lunch yesterday and below out shopping on 2/25, thanks to Splash News.

It seems that the Madden brothers, Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji, can really attract hot women. Firstly there’s Sophie Monk, who is hot. I remember when she first came to the public’s attention in the girl group Bardot (link leads to video) – she was steamin’. The band was lame, Australia’s first fabricated band that was a complete Spice Girls rip off.

Now it seems, in bad news for single women everywhere, that she and Benji have split. The rumors first surfaced in December, and were denied by his rep, but now her rep has confirmed it.

“Sophie and Benji have officially split. The decision was mutual and they remain amicable,” Kim’s statement read. “This will be my only statement regarding this matter.”

Daily Telegraph

That’s kind of sad. They met in mid-2006 and got engaged six months later. Amicable is the usual publicists’ line, I think we can pretty safely assume that they have definitely parted permanently, not just ended their engagement.

However, things are going very well for Joel Madden and his sexy missus.

“It’s really hard being away from her. I think after having Harlow we are already in love with being parents,” he said. “It’s cool to watch Harlow with Nicole because they already have a real special bond. It’s cute. I have my own little bond with her too.”

As far as Madden’s bond with Richie, that’s stronger than ever too. “She’s a wonderful mother and she looks really hot already,” he said. “The girl is gifted, man. Women hate her because she looks good being pregnant and then has the baby and looks sexy. There’s something so attractive about her now. It’s a motherly glow.”

People

Aw, that’s such a nice thing to say. Nicole does look really good post-baby, a lot better than she did pre-pregnancy. Of course, it just raises the bar for all the other mummies out there who are more slummy then yummy. And that, Joel, is actually why we hate her. It makes more work for us!

Us Weekly are reporting that Joel and Nicole have gone to four parties in two days, although it seems on they just went out for a couple of hours each night. They didn’t even hire a sitter, but apparently relied on Grandma. Awww.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Benji Madden and Sophie Monk are shown out at lunch on at “Newsroom” in Beverly Hills, and heading to the parking lot afterwards. They definitely look like there’s something wrong in these pictures, but I didn’t realize until after I downloaded them that they’re a year old, from 2/5/07. Sorry about that, I saw February and assumed it was this year. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.

Nicole Richie is moving quickly with her new boyfriend, Hillary Duff’s ex Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte. Joel’s twin brother and bandmate Benji Madden lives right next to him and is said to be annoyed that Nicole is staying over at his brother’s house all the time and plans to move in:

Nicole and Joel seem to be moving rather quickly and not everyone’s a fan. We know Hilary thinks Nicole is a “skank” and now it seems as if Joel’s BFF and brother Benji does not like his new lady either. The problem is, they may already be moving in together.

Sources close to Richie say she is “moving stuff out of her West Hollywood condo into his Glendale home,” and Joel’s bandmate, brother, and next-door neighbor Benji is “furious.” The source also said Joel and Nicole “have already become inseparable, and spend almost every night together.

It seems Benji might be too busy with his personal life to worry too much about his brother. He just announced that he is engaged to cute Australian actress Sophie Monk. He proposed to her while they were staying in Australia for New Years. Unlike Benji, Joel is said to approve of his brother’s choice in women and is quoted as saying “She’s so cool. I hang out with her, we have a great time.”

Joel and Nicole spent New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas, where Joel hosted a bash at Ghostbar at The Palms Casino. They were photographed kissing and cuddling during the party. Pictures from Flynet Online.
