Brittany Murphy Calls Off Engagement

Brittany Murphy has split from her fiance Joe Macaluso. The pair met on the set of movie 2004 movie Little Black Book, which Murphy starred in and Macaluso was best boy, responsible for lighting and electricity, on. They became engaged last year, but the actress hinted all was not well when quizzed on their wedding plans at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. Initially reluctant to discuss the relationship, she said, "Everything is going wonderful, thank you. I'm just living every moment, you know, enjoying my day." Today Murphy's representative told People magazine they have "amicably ended their engagement. They remain close friends and wish each other much happiness."
