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.
