Aussie actress and model Paige Butcher has, until now, been fairly low-key in Hollywood. With small parts in a couple of movies and a place on Maxim’s “Hot 100” list, she did make a spark..but it’s nothing compared to her popularity now.

The 33-year old is now dating Eddie Murphy, a surefire way to get noticed in Tinseltown. When she showed up at a Spike TV event on his arm last week, talk turned quickly from the actor’s retirement to questions of who that hot blonde was. People wanted to know more, and their curiosity still isn’t satiated. Twitter is buzzing about Butcher, and Murphy’s good taste, as we move into the weekend.
