About her next album, still taking shape, she cannot say much, except that it may include a song co-created with “boyfriend” Benji Madden of Good Charlotte (the track is initially intended for a Pleasure State ad), and another one with, of all people, Snoop Dogg. “I filmed an MTV commercial with him in Australia,” she explains, and then adds with a laugh that she was offended he did not hit on her.
Madden actually met her when they were both in an L.A. karaoke bar less than a year ago, but wasted little time before giving her a tasteful, not too showy diamond engagement ring last December. (Showing it, she laughs, “It needs a clean. It probably has fake tanner in it.”) And even though she says it is hard to get used to calling him “fiancй,” Monk insists they are crafting wedding plans, but not making them public. She is also looking forward to having kids, just “not right this minute.”
As Benji pulls up in his sleek black Lexus sports car and gentlemanly opens her door, Monk’s closing thought is just as refreshingly open and self-effacing as her first: “I’m faking my way through,” she says. “I just got lucky. I really don’t know what I’m doing. No one does.”
