Brittany Murphy and Joe Macaluso
Brittany Murphy and Joe Macaluso are calling their marriage off.
The two "have amicably ended their engagement. They remain close friends and wish each other much happiness," a rep for Murphy tells PEOPLE.Murphy, 28, who had met Macaluso - who is a best boy grip responsible for lighting and electricity on a movie set - while filming Little Black Book. After that film wrapped production, she asked him to the movies for their first date.
The couple went on 17 dates before they shared their first kiss. They became engaged on Dec. 31, 2005.
17 dates until he had the balls to kiss her? I guess on that 16th date he was thinking, "Hey maybe Brittany is actually into me and I should try to kiss her?.......nah........I'll give it a 17th date." When I take a woman to dinner if I don't at least see a breast/nipple by the end of the appetizer, I start to get a little antsy. By dessert I'm usually hearing things like "public nudity" and "call the police" whispered between the waiters.
Maybe Joe just didn't want to marry a deaf chick.
