Murphy goes undercover at Vogue

American actress Brittany Murphy has moved to London and landed a job at style bible Vogue - in preparation for her latest film role.

The 27-year-old star has set up home in the British capital over the summer as she films upcoming comedy Love And Other Disasters.

Murphy enthuses: "The film is a true British ensemble comedy. My character is the assistant to the head of UK Vogue so I'm learning to be a true, blue Anglophile.

"I'm loving this city. I never thought I'd find a city so close to my heart as Manhattan, but this definitely comes a close second.

"I moved to London about a week ago. There's a great cast - Catherine Tate and Matthew Rhys - and I'm so excited. I'm thrilled to be here and call London my second home."
