Nick and Jessica SPLIT

[julietchicago]

I know it sounds stupid, but it kinda looks like Jessica is on her knees "begging" in those pictures (begging for someone back??). It's weird Ashlee is pointing to her knees.

Maybe just wishful thinking. I hate that they are no longer together and moving on so quickly.

Earlier Jessica had fallen in front of photographers so they were playing around and Ashlee was kissing her knee.

[julietchicago]

Oh, I must have missed that part? Where was that posted?

[jbenny75]

The photos of Jessica's walk of shame were taken on January 25th...five days after the photos above.


So that could have been her own shirt she wore on the Walk of Shame, not Adam's. Maybe she got herself a room for the night? Or did she really spend the night with Adam Levine? Or with someone else that was staying there? Hmmmm.....

[LynzeyAHL]

Our radio station reported that she did stay with adam - she did do the walk of shame - BUT she called cacee to bring her an outfit and drive her home.

[msnicolea]

In US Magazine her reps claim she was there (at AL's hotel) the night before AND the morning after but didn't spend the night. riiiiiiight. This gal is a total clothes horse--I'm sure she would have been wearing the same jeans, carrying the same purse, and wearing a man's shirt that am. OK.

So true! There is no way that she would wear the same thing (gasp) two days in a row!

[Pghchic]

Subscribing I also hope that Nick is with that girl I can't stand Jessica.

Yeah--I am definitely on:

infact, i'm sitting here in the same sweatshirt i wore yesterday ! *gasp*

unlike miss. hilton who says she throws things out because she refuses to wear anything twice. *rolls eyes*

I agree.

And by the way, Paris is so obnoxious, much like her choice in clothing, I often wonder if she should have bothered to wear them at all. She should have thrown them out to save herself from looking like even MORE of an idiot, or more appropriately, sold them and given the proceeds to charity. But then again, that would take some sort of effort...a concept she is rarely associated with.

[asksmd94]

Has anyone else heard anything about CeCe and Nick gettin' a little smittin' with each other? I would really hate for that to happen considering she was Jessica's best friend and all.

There was a rumor about that a few months ago. It might be in this thread somewhere....

Ok, they were talking about it on the radio like it was new news and I hadn't heard that rumor until today.

I just found this on Life & Style (http://lifeandstylemag.hollywood.com/)

In Life & Style now: Jessica’s shocking betrayal
Talk about the ultimate slap in the face! While Jessica Simpson has been turning to best friend CaCee Cobb to help her through her breakup with Nick Lachey, it seems CaCee may have committed the ultimate betrayal – canoodling with Nick herself! CaCee and Nick were seen getting cozy at a party at LA nightclub Level 3 on Jan. 29.

“The two were all over each other,” says an eyewitness, who knows both Nick and CaCee. “Nick had his arms wrapped around her, and he was kissing her all over the side of her face and neck. Her arms were around him, too.”

A second witness at the party, thrown by Wilmer Valderrama, confirms the account. “We were watching in total disbelief,” says the witness. “We kept waiting for them to rip each other’s clothes off.”

An insider close to both Jess and CaCee says that the two were at the event with their respective significant others (Nick was at the bash with his new girlfriend, Elizabeth Arnold, former Miss Kentucky USA and CaCee arrived with her boyfriend, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller). Nick’s rep maintains that Nick and CaCee are just friends.

“When they see each other, they have a warm, affectionate hello…I can believe that someone witnessing that would think it was a little odd. But there is nothing romantic going on there," says the Nick and CaCee insider.

While some may speculate that the hookup was nothing serious, find out Jessica’s reaction to the hearing the news from a friend in this week’s issue of Life & Style.

[bklynhamptonian]

That's interesting about CaCee and Nick considering on the show he acted like he could not stand her. Oh, how I hope this is not true. i love Nick right now and would hate to have to turn on him. Hooking up with her friend is not cool.

[julietchicago]

Eww, I wonder if he nibbled on the mole right by her eye. Eww!

P.S. I doubt any of that is true....he never seemed fond of her.

[mgrace]

I saw the cover of a couple magazines while waiting in line at the grocery store. One (Star??) had something about Nick and Cacee and the other, US, had something about Jessica and her live in boyfriend. I didn't pick either of them up, so I don't know any more than that.

[kd 9.21.02]

I was listening to a radio station here in NY (Z100 I think?) this weekend and they brought up the CaCee-Nick relationship. The DJs/hosts said that they've had Jessica and her entourage (including CaCee) in the studio a few times and Jessica is always very pleasant and friendly. CaCee on the other hand? A complete snot. The co-host said, "Why should she be snotty?!"

Jessica Simpson & Adam Levine Are OFFICIALLY Dating!

Adam Levine is not Brad Pitt sexy, but he sure is persistent!

Hot off the heels of his conquering of Kirsten Drunkst, the Maroon 5 singer has now officially scored Jessica Simpson.

As we always do, we contact all of our friends that work at the celeb weeklies every Tuesday to get a sense for what's gonna be in the mags that week.

Well, expect a lot of Jess & Adam this week! Why?

Our little moles tell us that Simpson's publicist and Levine's rep have confirmed their courtship to the tabs - after denying it for the longest time. However, they "confirmed" off the record and will not be releasing an official statement.

Why the half-assed confirmation?

Because Levine is a notorious "player" and Simpson is currently in Santa Fe, New Mexico, along with her assistant Cacee Corn on the Cobb, where she is taking another stab at acting, starring in the movie Employee of the Month.

Monday, Simpson and crew paid a visit to a Big 5 sports store (pictured above), and - at the request of her bodyguard - the store closed down while Jessica shopped for some fitness equipment, including several Yoga essentials kits and some dumb bells.

Levine, meanwhile, is in Los Angeles, and we're not quite sure how faithful he'll be. We think Jessica isn't either!Source: Perez Hilton (http://www.perezhilton.com/topics/exclusives/jessica_simpson_adam_levine_are_officially_dating_ 20060214.php)

[sarahh]

Accepting his award as one of Cosmopolitan magazine's "Fun and Fearless Men of 2006" in Los Angeles on Monday night, Nick Lachey joked:

"Wow- I really want to talk to [fellow honoree] Greg [Behrendt] later because I'm really intrigued by his book It's Called A Break Up Because It's Broken. In all honesty, it's a little ironic to receive the 'fun and fearless' award right now because in some ways I feel that at this point in my life I've never been more afraid."Source: PerezHilton.com

[SingleWhiteFemale]

...in some ways I feel that at this point in my life I've never been more afraid." Awwww :( Call me Nick, I can cheer you up!

[tinkerbelljenny]

Awwww Call me Nick, I can cheer you up!
Ha! Call me too! That is sad what he said.

[maplekitty]

awww poor nicky-poo! You've got lots of support on cc if you ever need it! :D

[kristine80]

Driving home from work today they were talking on the radio about Nick's new song "What's Left of Me" and how it's probably about Jess... I didn't catch the song but they said you could hear it on AOL, so I looked it up and I really like it! Here (http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=1&pls=music.artistid.351437&startid=1460206) it is, for those who might not have heard it... What do you ladies think?? I think he sounds better than Jess! ;)

[Rosebud]

JESSICA SIMPSON and MAROON 5 singer ADAM LEVINE first became romantically involved in 2004, according to two eyewitness who have come forward with shocking new revelations.

Although Simpson and husband NICK LACHEY battled infidelity rumours throughout their marriage, new information seems to confirm the marriage was in trouble long before the couple separated in November (05).

According to photographer Andrew Sweeney and reporter Lisa LadaBouche, Simpson and Levine got together after they both performed at a concert in Boston, Massachusetts, for radio station Kiss 108 FM in May 2004. Simpson was attending the concert without her husband, who was on holiday in Fiji with his brother, Drew.

Sweeney and LadaBouche, who were covering the concert for local paper, The Raw Story, tell American publication Us Weekly they witnessed the two singers kissing in a VIP area backstage.

Sweeney says, "They were backstage flirting. He was touching her hand. And then they just leaned in and started going at it, making out. Not horribly, like teenage making out, but like adults, little kisses."

LadaBouche agrees with Sweeney saying, "I definitely saw them kissing. It was a shock - especially knowing her husband was away. And she's supposed to be this innocent figure."

After the concert, members of Maroon 5 and the BACKSTREET BOYS, who had also performed at the show, went to local Boston nightclub Saint, for an afterparty, where the celebrity couple continued to get cozy.

Saint owner BRIAN LESSER confirms, "Jessica and Adam were sitting next to each other. I think that was the beginning of it all."

I really like the song and he sounds good. It's a different sound that most of his other stuff.

[jbenny75]

I love Nick's song. I hope he does really well.

It makes me want to comfort him, too!

[Heidi9771]

interesting. I have been to Saint before...it is a really cute club. I wonde why they are spilling the beans now instead of before?

From ET Online:

Nick Lachey Files for Spousal Support

February 17, 2006

ET has learned that NICK LACHEY has filed papers in L.A. Superior Court Friday requesting spousal support from JESSICA SIMPSON in response to her divorce petition. Property assets and obligations have not been established yet in the proceedings.

Jessica filed for divorce from Nick in mid-December, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. In her papers, Jessica is seeking to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support to Nick, and wants to restore her name back to "Jessica Simpson" from her legal married name of Jessica Simpson Lachey.

The popular "Newlyweds" fought off break-up rumors for nearly a year, then eventually announced their split last November with the following official statement:

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," the couple said. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

The couple married in Austin, TX, in front of 350 guests in an hour-long Baptist ceremony. Jessica wore a strapless VERA WANG gown and Nick sang "My Everything," a song he wrote just for his bride.

Watch ET for more news on Nick and Jessica's divorce proceedings.

[Raven_Girl]

I was wondering why he was waiting so long to file.

[maplekitty]

Do you all think its really necesary for him to file for spousal support, when we know he's got money himself? Or do you think he's doing it just to spite her?

[Leia]

Just saw this on E!Online:

DIVORCE COURT: Nick Lachey filing response to Jessica Simpson's divorce petition. Lachey contests the ex-couple's separation date, he says Dec. 13, she says Nov. 23. A judge will decide which date, which will determine value of their community property. He is asking for half.

Didn't they announce at Thanksgiving? What do you all think this means?

[ssstephanie]

At one point during Newlyweds, JS made A LOT of money doing promos, commercials, Dessert...etc. Nick didn't make anything close to what she did on her own. They were married at the time so I don't see why he shouldn't get half. But also, at some point during their engagement/early days of marriage, he was worth a lot more that she was. Didn't he allededly almost go bankrupt paying for their wedding? Honestly, I believe that thanks to him, she's gotten as popular and lucrative as she is. Maybe he's doing it to spite her but I don't see why he shouldn't fight for half when it's the law. If the roles were reversed and it was Nick with the majority of the income, I'll bet anything she'd try to get the same from him.

[TracieB]

But before Newlyweds, Jessica was a B-list (maybe even C-list) celebrity. She wouldn't be famous if it weren't for the show and without Nick, there would have been no show. So, I definitely think he deserves a lot from the divorce.

[jbenny75]

I was thinking that it doesn't seem like something Nick would do, so maybe they are really trying to play dirty with him and screw him over? Maybe he had to do this so that he didn't totally get the shaft. I agree that Newlyweds made Jess famous and she would never have gotten to where she is today without that show. Without Nick, there would've been no show, so he deserves something.

[Raven_Girl]

Yes its the last dig and I say BRAVO!!! Because if he hadn't married her, she wouldnt have gotten the MTV show, and became so popular. Besides I blame her creepy dad.

[SingleWhiteFemale]

AOL.com has an article up too (sorry, can't link as if you don't have AOL you can't view it), similar to the one above but with this added:
Lachey, 32, also asked for "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects," part of Simpson's earnings from after the date of separation and other assets.

[Rosebud]

Would that "bad boy rocker" be Adam Levine?

That's the one! The article claims that Jessica and Adam first hooked up after a Boston concert in 2004. They've got two reporters who claim they witnessed them kissing backstage and someone else who saw them entering the same hotel room later. Or something like that.

[lawyerlee]

Nick doesn't have the kind of money Jessica has. I think he deserves spousal support, and I hope he gets it. I am just stunned by Jessica's behavior. I love Nick, and I think there will come a time when she will realize what she's lost. :(

SIMPSON AND JOHNSON NAMED WORST IN POP
(http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/simpson%20and%20johnson%20named%20worst%20in%20pop _15_02_2006)
JESSICA SIMPSON, JACK JOHNSON, WESTLIFE, MS DYNAMITE and THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS have 'won' the dubious honour of being named the worst musicians of the past year (05).

The Naomi Awards, organised by British digital broadcaster Music Choice, branded Simpson the Worst International Female Solo Artist and Johnson the Worst International Male Solo Artist.

Irish group Westlife were the biggest 'losers' this year (06), picking up Worst International Group and Worst International Album. They were also given a special award for Outstandingly Bad Contribution To Music.

Rapper Ms Dynamite was named Worst Urban Act, while sexy six-piece The Pussycat Dolls garnered the Worst International Breakthrough Artist title.

The scathing accolades are named after supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL's brief attempt at a pop career and celebrate the worst of the music industry ahead of star-studded prize-giving the Brit Awards tonight (15FEB06)...

Oh Nick was no saint.
He hit on my brother ex GF.
My brother's ex is 5'10, blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, full lips and a great body. How my brother got her I'm still trying to figure out. Nick came up to her, tried to buy her a drink but she wasn't into him. she recognized him but wasnt into him and moved on.
Like I said Nick is no angel but I'm not a Jessica fan either.

[Pghchic]

Subscribing I can't wait till they both do there both big interviews after the divorce should be interesting.

[Aimee]

I don't think Nick deserves spousal support. It's not intended to be damages for the divorce or suffering during the marriage. In Louisiana, (I'd venture to guess that CA law is somewhat similar, based on the fact that it's also a community property state) spousal support is based on a bunch of different factors, including whether or not someone is able to support themself independently and the length of the marriage. Standard of living during the marriage isn't a factor for final support. So, as long as Nick is capable of supporting himself, which he is, and given the relatively short term of the marriage, he wouldn't be entitled to alimony in LA.

here he can get it because its 50/50. Since she earned more then he's entitled.

[Lizard]

An article I read recently said that he wasn't exactly seeking spousal support, but he was just filing so that he would have the right to seek spousal support if he chose to. That was in response to her filing saying that she didn't want him to have any support. I'd guess it was something that his lawyer told him to do as a CYA measure, and he won't necessarily seek it.

[Aimee]

here he can get it because its 50/50. Since she earned more then he's entitled.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but community property settlements are different than spousal support. He's absolutely entitled to 1/2 of everything they made during the marriage (i.e., community property) unless she somehow reserved it as separate property, which it sounds like there wasn't any such reservation. Spousal support is an entirely different animal, and there are usually tests that the courts use to determine whether or not someone should recieve it.

I agree that it was probably a CYA measure. I doubt he'll be awarded anything.

[Sumike]

I saw Jessica with her gang @ Curve (http://www.stylemaven.com/store_losangeles_robertson_curve.htm) today. She looked amazing. Her hair long and flowing and she's soo fit. Not sickly skinny..just really fit. I was inside while she was paying.

Joe Simpson Confronts Nick Lachey

(AHN) - Onlookers at Sushi Roku restaurant in Santa Monica, California got an eye and ear full when Nick Lachey and his soon-to-be-ex father-in-law, Jessica’s dad, Joe Simpson, bumped heads.

Rumor has it that Nick had been dining with a buddy and was all set to leave when Joe walked in, spotted Nick, and said bluntly, “You’ll never get half of everything in the divorce settlement.”

Nick retaliated by telling him to mind his own business. A source also visiting the restaurant says Joe sneered, “You’ll get half over my dead body!” Nick allegedly came back with a paltry, “We’ll see!”

Note to Nick: come up with some better come back lines.

I only hope he's got something cooking and his lawyer told him to play it cool.

Personally, I would advise a person in a hypothetical situation to keep cool and get out of the place quickly, avoiding even the appearance of confrontation. Make the other party look bad.

No double standard here--if he was the bigger star and had more money, no one would bat an eyelash if she went after it! And if she did indeed cheat on him, I hope he takes her to the cleaners.

[kd 9.21.02]

He has a very good case. She was D-List when they got married and he was more successful and wealthier than she (not that he was A-list himself though). Her father convinced them to do that Newlyweds show and it made her the huge star that she is now. But she wouldn’t have these commercials, clothing lines, beauty products, movie roles, magazine covers, etc, etc if it weren’t for the show they did together (basically if it weren’t for the marriage). He has every right to that money that she’s earned off her celebrity. He helped create the “new and improved” Jessica Simpson – indirectly of course.

Well, I personally can't stand the Simpson family (papa joe is so fake! He's the only minister I know who worships the holy dollar! :p ). I hope this divorce will make Jessica and her fake sister Ashlee go away. So glad she wants a divorce. Nick deserves better. Based on the magazines (people), it appears that Papa Joe told his little girl not to sign a prenup cuz Nick was the bigger earner at the time (you make the connection from there). Go Nick, sue the cheating Jess for everything she has!

[westamp]

If it weren't for marrying Nick and getting that "Newlyweds" TV deal, Jessica would be singing at county fairs. Her father should be very careful how nasty he makes this.

I agree. Especially if Nick starts leaking stuff about "saintly Jess" to the press. If Papa Joe is interested in keeping his money, he better make sure that Jess' halo doesn't get tarnished in the process. Nothing like bad press to dim your status.

I remember reading in US that when Jess was growing up, she was not well liked in high school. Hmm, makes you wonder if she was a b***h then...:confused: We all know Papa Joe is a d**k!

I saw a tv show about her- it wasn't Behind the Music, but it was something like that, maybe Driven? But anyway, it was about her life and background. Not only was she not liked in school, she was actually harassed. There was something about "Bitch" being spray painted outside the Simpson house. There were other details about the whole thing that I don't remember. Maybe someone else saw that show?

[kd 9.21.02]

I saw that show and it did make me feel badly for her. But it also makes me ask... How much of a role did her father play in her "unusual" childhood/teen years?

Because I dislike him so much I like to blame him for everything. ;)

[Rose]

I think it was Driven on VH1.

[ssstephanie]

Jessica is such a yucky slob. I will never understand how Nick put up with her nasty ass for as long as he did. He deserves a lot of credit as well as money if that's what he wants. She didn't cook, clean or put out...completely useless IMO.

No, I did a hmmm also. Hopefully there is more to being a wife (famous or otherwise) than cooking, cleaning and meeting sexual needs.

Aw, come on, Nick. Even the standard "That can be arranged" would have been better than that.

Yeah, but then if something happened to Joe, Nick would be the first suspect!

Yes, I've watched soap operas for way too long. :p

[ssstephanie]

Hmmm. Um... someone please tell me I am reading too much into this statement, K?

Please don't take offense to my comment. I meant it to be more humorous than literal. Obviously I don't believe that all a wife is meant to do is cook, clean or perform sexual favors for her husband. And obviously I don't really know what went on in their marriage. All anyone can do is speculate and what I've gathered from what I've seen is that she didn't do much of anything for him.

[ssstephanie]

No, I did a hmmm also. Hopefully there is more to being a wife (famous or otherwise) than cooking, cleaning and meeting sexual needs.

There is definitely more to being a wife than what I've previously mentioned. I meant for it to be funny, not offensive or even questionable.

Joe Simpson must be kicking himself that they didn't sign a prenup. I read somewhere that Nick and Jess were going to sign a prenup, but her dad talked her out of it--at the time, Nick had more money/assets than she did.

Totally backfired on them now! Bwa ha ha ha ha!

I hate ths Simpsons. Both parents are just so creepy. The fact that he talks about her breasts in interviews is just...eeewww...

[tgray99]

There was an episode of "House" recently where the patient was a 15 y.o. model and her dad was her manager. House found an interview in a magazine with her father where he's talking about her heart-shaped ass and perky all-natural boobs. TOTALLY reminded me of Papa Joe. (Turned out in the show that the father had sex with the daughter...):rolleyes:

It kinda looks like Nick's new friend is getting out of the back seat. I wonder why she was sitting in the back? :confused:

[Rose]

Maybe it is a two door car?

[Kellie]

Maybe it is a two door car?

Even if it is a 2 door car why would she be sitting in the back seat? It doesn't look like there is anyone there with them. Maybe I am missing something.

[southerner]

Wait, I'm confused too. Maybe that's not Nick with the striped shirt on? Maybe it's a friend in the car with them and that's why she was in the back seat?? Nick has on a different shirt in the last pic. :confused:

[lawyerlee]

No, I did a hmmm also. Hopefully there is more to being a wife (famous or otherwise) than cooking, cleaning and meeting sexual needs.
Geez, I certainly hope so! And here I thought it was 2006. ;) I'm glad to know for sure it was a joke. :)


Jessica Simpson Breaks Bread With Governor (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=495&e=4&u=/ap/20060226/ap_en_mu/people_simpson)
AP

SANTA FE, N.M. - Jessica Simpson took a break from filming her latest movie to dine with Gov. Bill Richardson, his wife and others at the governor's mansion.

Simpson, who is in Santa Fe filming "Employee of the Month," ate with the governor Thursday night. The film is the fifth shot in New Mexico by Lions Gate Entertainment, an independent production and distribution studio.

"The governor feels very strongly about getting involved personally to promote New Mexico's film industry," Richardson spokesman Pahl Shipley said.

Richardson has rolled out the red carpet for other celebrities. Most recently, he dined at the mansion with Irish actor Liam Neeson.

She's so lucky. I'd love to have these kinds of opportunities. :)

I saw that, too, and thought the SAME thing!!

I saw those pics of Nick and the blonde on one of the evening gossip shows- ET or one of those. They said she is the wife of one of Nick's friends, and showed photos of her with her husband. Her husband was along that evening, but the paparazzi conveniently left him out of most of the photos. I can't remember who they said he was....I kinda think he was a hocky player or some kind of athlete.

THE RUMOR: Jessica Simpson is secretly dating her personal trainer.

HOW IT STARTED: Jessica flew hunky Mike Alexander -- who grew up with her in Texas -- down to Baton Rouge while she was filming 'The Dukes of Hazzard.' The were so chummy, people on the set started talking.

HOW IT SPREAD: Jessica has told friends how lonely she feels after her split from Nick. She's confessed that Mike has been "a shoulder to cry on."

Mike trains Jess at the trendy Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills. After working out, they've been seen -- get this -- at the El Torito Grill directly across from the gym. Nothing like eating good Mexican food with your trainer after working out!

THE TMZ LOWDOWN: Jessica has been publicly linked with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, but now her peeps say that rumor is bogus and that Jess is steadfastly single. Indeed, friends of Jessica's have told TMZ that on a recent trip to Vegas with some girlfriends she showed no interest in any of the guys who were crawling over each other to meet her.

But one of Jessica's close friends says Mike is becoming "the reliable guy in her life." Several photogs have told TMZ that Mike has become a regular at Jessica's recently purchased $5.5 million Beverly Hills mansion. The shutterbugs also say that Mike was recently seen leaving the house early in the morning.Source:http://tmz.aol.com/features/rumors/article?id=20060217173409990001

i just wanted to send my love and encouragement to my precious friends. i'm in santa fe shooting a movie for the next 4 weeks. it is so peaceful here. the stars shine to light up the entire sky. the air breathes so fresh. you guys, there are blessings all around us just waiting to be noticed. today, find the simple things we all take for granted. listen to the voice of your heart, not the voice in your head. be wise and steadfast. pay attention to the direction of the wind so that your steps will seem to walk lighter, making your journey through life a bit easier. always remember that "life is not a problem to be solved,it is a gift to be enjoyed"

Jessica Simpson is finally speaking out about the topics she has kept quiet about for so long: why she asked Nick for a divorce and how she's living her life without him.

If that wasn't enough, Jessica has had a break-up makeover!

The newly single star sports a noticeably more mature look in a four-page photo spread in "W" magazine.

In fact, Jessica tells "W" writer Whitney McNally that she loves being on her own, adding: "I just feel alive. I feel free. I feel like I can do anything and there’s nobody to answer to but myself."

"Either Nick or her parents did everything for her, and just recently, (she) asked for her own checkbook for the first time," senior editor McNally told us. "Jessica seems to be growing up and asserting her independence. Whether it's leaving her husband, buying a house it seems like she doesn't want others controlling her life. She wants to take charge."

Jessica hints that one of her first take-charge decisions was to end her three-year marriage, adding: "I'm just proud of allowing myself to think and to act and to be…when you walk away from something and there’s no gravitational pull, then you know you’re doing the right thing."

And despite tabloid headlines reporting a nasty split, Jessica said not so.

"She told me she still talks to him all the time and considers him one of her best friends," McNally told Access. "And it isn't nearly as vicious as the press made it out to be."

Yet, Jessica and Nick's divorce is prime tabloid fodder.

US Weekly featured their split seven times in three months in their magazine.

And Jessica admits she had to rent 12 different vehicles in one day to avoid the papparrazzi.

She's even hidden in car trunks!

But when asked about the rumor that she had an affair with her "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star, Johnny Knoxville, Jessica wouldn't answer. She only said: "I can't save anything from being talked about."

"Jessica told me you can let chaos consume you and be overwhelmed or just walk with it," McNally told us. "But she's not going to complain about being famous. She'll take it and handle it professionally."

From Yahoo! (http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/eo/20060302/114135876000.html)


Breaking up is hard to do, especially when your entire marriage unfolded on MTV. But don't feel sorry for Nick Lachey.

At least, that's what the former boy-bander and reality-TV star is telling fans in the latest issue of Teen People, which features the first one-on-one interview with Lachey since his split from Jessica Simpson.

"I have a great life," he told the magazine. "That chapter is done."

Lachey also said that he is house-hunting in the hills around Los Angeles' Mulholland Drive. In January, he and Simpson sold their Calabasas, California, mansion Justin Berfield, who plays Reese on Malcolm in the Middle, for $3.5 million, and Simpson has bought a $3 million Beverly Hills home. Visit for more:

And while he is downsizing in the housing department, Lachey isn't ruling out expanding his one-man show--albeit sometime in the future.

"Playing with my friends' kids and having them call me Uncle Nick--that's life," he said. "That's what makes me happy, not selling a million records. Obviously, it's not the right time for me to be a father. But the one thing I haven't had a chance to do is be a great dad."

While Simpson's ditz-with-a-heart-of-gold persona tended to overshadow Lachey's regular-Joe image on Newlyweds, the two have been sharing equal face time in the media lately, especially since divorce proceedings started heating up.

In December, Simpson petitioned a Los Angeles court to deny Lachey spousal support. Lachey may have been the possessor of more bling when they wed in 2002, but Simpson's singing, endorsement and acting deals sent her wealth skyrocketing.

Furthering the conflict, Lachey and Simpson wed the old-fashioned way--sans a prenup. Now they, along with a handful of lawyers, are trying to nail down their exact date of separation, because the day the two officially went solo could affect the amount of money they will split. Lachey claims Simpson moved out Dec. 13; she is sticking with the date they announced their breakup, Nov. 23.

However the monetary chips fall, Lachey probably won't be hurting. He recently signed on to appear with Brooke Burke in ads for celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson's Core Secret fitness DVDs. Lachey and his muscles netted $500,000 for the deal, according to the New York Post.

Shortly before parting ways with Simpson, Lachey inked a deal to star in a UPN sitcom about a newlywed baseball player. No word yet on whether the show will go ahead on the CW, the network that will form later this year when UPN and the WB combine.

Lachey has also released the new single, "What's Left of Me," which he cowrote. But he insists that the breakup ballad, featuring lyrics such as, "Been dying inside/little by little," does not reflect his current state of mind.

ah, something like they are good in bed.

Wouldn't Stacy be too tall for Nick?
as a tall girl, i can testify to the fact that a lot of short guys love tall women. unfortunately, i am not attracted to short guys, so if stacy is like me she wouldn't go for nick if he is short, but he may go for her.

[tgray99]

ah, something like they are good in bed.

Good to know. ;)

[Sposa06]

As a tall girl myself, Asha, I know how it is! I just couldn't ever date a short guy. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed Stacy was the same way, but I did!

oh, i tried bc i didn't like how shallow i was being, but i just couldn't make myself like short guys. though, i wasn't too picky about height bc i didn't really care as long as they were as tall as me. my dh is only a little taller than me.

[Sposa06]

Yeah - anywhere from 5'11" up is good! After that, I'm not too picky :)

[greenbunny]

I've always been really attracted to short guys. :o I'm about 5'3", which isn't crazy short, but I think fairly average for shorter women...DH is 5'7".

[DansGirl]

Another T-town evening, another tongue-wagging adventure. At Lobby, I had a nauseating blast watching Wilmer Valderrama practically sit on Ashlee Simpson's lap. He dug his Brandon Davis-like head into her neck a couple of times. I thought I saw some tongue on the Simpson neck but can't be sure. They had the whole couch to themselves.

Also interesting: Insiders tell me that that particular couch is considered property of Nick Lachey, who was supposed to hit the club that night on an outing with dating queen Kristin Cavalleri. Nice move, Ash, stoking Jessica's forever territorial fire by stepping on Nick's turf. Though frankly, I'd much rather watch Nick work it than Wilmer. Agree?

Hope this isn't true about Nick & Kristin (she's from Laguna Beach) - I want Nick with someone more mature.

That whole outfit is, head-to-toe, a trip through Clothing Fad Memory Line of the last five minutes of all of our lifes.

[Editor's note: We apologize for the above. Jessica will be back posting regularly when she recovers from what the doctors are calling "a mild case of rage-induced psychosis." They seem to think that as soon as she stops clawing at her face in anger and smashing her skull against her keyboard, she will be able to type again. They would like us to warn you all, however, that this kind of Ragaholism is highly contagious, and that if you have any of the following symptoms, you should put down your US Weekly and consult a physician immediately: bursting into hives and/or tears at the sight of Joe Simpson, Dina Lohan or Kathy Hilton; uncontrollable shaking when Jessica Simpson's "Pizza Bites" commercial comes on the television; gutteral, primal screaming when faced with yet another article about that random girl Nick Lachey may or may not be sleeping with; gutteral, primal screaming when no one listens to your theory that Nick Lachey is probably sleeping with Matt Leinart; and/or falling into a comatose state when you realize that you recognize Jessica Simpson's ****ing hairdresser and, what's worse, also know -- off the top of your head -- his full name.]

Nick Lachey's Sitcom Dropped

Nick Lachey's sitcom about a newlywed professional baseball player for WB network has been dropped.

A source said: "There are only so many openings on the new network. Nick's show didn't make the cut."

But it's not all lost for Jessica Simpson's ex.

"The network loves Nick - they just weren't into the baseball show. They're putting together another project for him."

x-posted with the celeb gossip thread:

Jessica Simpson dumped via text message

This week's Star is supposedly going to report that Adam Levine broke up with Jessica Simpson via a text message that said: "Really busy. Need Space."

It all started when Levine blew-off their Valentine’s Day date as Jess pressured him for answers. It took a while to sink in and when it did, she told her best friend, "I just got dumped." And by text message, no less. Ouch! Not that Simpson will have trouble finding companionship. A source tells Star that she and British heartthrob Jude Law have been calling each other non-stop – even though they’re thousands of miles apart.

I understand she's a little on the stupid side, but when you're as hot as Jessica Simpson you don't deserve to be dumped until you become horribly disfigured or old. Instead of breaking up with her via text message, Adam should have gone with my method of choice: wear them down with so much sex that they're forced to end the relationship by doctor's orders.

:confused: I don't know if this is true or not. But I heard on the radio today on my way home from work that Jessica Simpson is going to be like Angelina and adopt a baby from over seas before she has her own kids. She also wants to open some type of adoption thing. I wasn't fully listening when I heard it.

[Rose]

I think Jessica & Nick both talked about wanting to adopt when they were together so I wouldn't be surprised if that was true sometime down the road.

[AirForceLove]

Here is the story about JS wanting to adopt. It was on CNN today.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Jessica Simpson has babies on the brain.

The 25-year-old singer filed for divorce from Nick Lachey last December but her publicist says Simpson is looking at adoption.

"Nothing has been finalized yet" as to when and how Simpson will adopt, her publicist, Rob Shuter, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. But he added, "It is true that she's exploring options."

Shuter said Simpson and her family have anonymously contributed funds to a smattering of Mexican orphanages for several years now. The singer started visiting the orphanages with a church group at age 11.

"I want to adopt, and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids," the pop star recently told TV's "Extra."

In the interview, Simpson cited a certain high profile mother as an influence.

"I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things, and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed," she said. "It's unbelievable."

Simpson is best known for starring in the MTV reality show "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica" with Lachey, who gained fame as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees.

I think Shuter needs to look up the definition of "anonymously".

[KK812]

Little Mexican child, I want to apologize in advance on behalf of all of us in the United States, that your mommy, a complete doofus, adopted you so she'd have another cute accessory.

All joking aside, an adopted baby would probably have a great life with Jessica Simpson, but she is NOT ready to be a mother.

[Sposa06]

The thought of Jessica Simpson raising a child is just frightening.

[Secret_Squirrel]

"I want to adopt, and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids,"

Nice start there, Jess. Your adopted child is your "own" kid. Way to make them sound like second class from the start!

I hope this is just a publicity stunt to resurrect her image, and she's not actually going to go through with it.

[msnicolea]

I think Shuter needs to look up the definition of "anonymously".

That was my first thought, too!

Please.

[majorgal]

Secret_Squirrel: That was my first thought when I read the 'my own child' comment, too. No one should consider adopting until they get that it is inappropriate to use that term when it comes to adopted vs. biological children.

From rosiedemario:

Jessica Simpson revealed she's a changed woman after four months of headline-making split from Nick Lachey.

"From the last time I talk to you, I feel like I am a completely different person. But I'm only 25", said Simpson. As extratv.warnerbros.com notes, on the set of "Employee of the Month", Jessica opened up to "Extra" about evading life in the Hollywood public eye. Being on location in New Mexico helps her heal from the breakup with Nick.

"I had to go back to Los Angeles this weekend for an appointment, and it was so strange. It was 20 paparazzi following me to buy sweatpants", Simpson related.

Also her family helps Jessica adjust to life after Nick. "My family and I have gotten closer over the past three months, maybe because I was living with them for about a month of that", said Jessica Simpson.

"I was just with my sister the other night. And she's such a woman. She's giving me advice, and I love that. She's just stepped up to the plate, and I am so proud of her", Simpson added.

Jessica is fond of her success on the silver screen. "'Dukes of Hazzard' was really more about the body. So, this is actually a movie that has a lot of lines for Jessica, which is nice", admitted Simpson.

Oh no... she's getting closer with her father? She needs to get as far away from that man as possible.

Just my 2 cents of course.

[westamp]

Don't do it Jessica! Don't adopt some innocent baby because it's the "cool, Hollywood thing to do".

The woman can barely string two words together w/o asking permission from Papa Joe (doesn't matter what they say contrary). A baby isn't a teacup poodle! You don't put him/her in your LV bag and tote them around. They also don't hang out at clubs! Stop the adoption thoughts right now Jessica!

"'Dukes of Hazzard' was really more about the body. So, this is actually a movie that has a lot of lines for Jessica, which is nice", admitted Simpson. I'm confused - is Jessica talking about herself in the third person here? Scary!

From the last time I talk to you, I feel like I am a completely different person. But I'm only 25", said Simpson....as she proceeded to count on one hand.

Lachey is swell, 93.1 DJ reports

Nick Lachey's handlers made it clear last week that Jessica Simpson's soon-to-be ex-husband wouldn't do any press interviews Saturday during his visit to Indianapolis for Final Four festivities.

The singer did talk to fans in a sure-to-be-friendly session on Radio NOW (93.1) during Saturday's "Big Dance" activities on Monument Circle. Fans plastered themselves to the windows of the ground-floor studio to get a glimpse of him.

The host of Radio NOW's Morning Mess on WNOU-FM, Shannon Murphy, said Lachey was delightful: He showed up in a regular car, didn't have an entourage and seemed down-to-earth. VIP guests inside Emmis Communications headquarters were able to get a bit closer. With cameras and cell phones poised, they snapped away as he left the studio and was whisked upstairs.

Diana Sadowitz, 21, said she understands why Lachey might not want to do interviews. "He seems like a private person." The Kelley School of Business student was going to e-mail his photo to her sister, Janna, who is on spring break in Florida. On stage, Lachey said he and Simpson are still officially married. Splits like theirs, he said, take a long time to become final.

Jessica Simpson in Baywatch Movie

Jessica Simpson is set to star in a movie remake of 'Baywatch'. The actress will play a sexy lifeguard in the film version of the hit 90s show, which turned Pamela Anderson into a star. The 'Newlyweds' beauty may even copy Pamela's famous slow-motion running in the movie.

A source is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Jessica really caught the eye in 'The Dukes of Hazzard' film last summer. "She was the unanimous choice for the 'Baywatch' role." The insider added: "Jessica has all the assets to make the part her own."

Jessica apparently won't have any problem flaunting her curves in one of the skimpy red swimsuits worn by the film's lifeguards - because she loves her breasts. The blonde star - who recently split from husband Nick Lachey after three years of marriage - recently said she thinks her boobs are wonderful and insists she wouldn't do a thing to change her perfect mammaries.

She said: "I have amazing boobs. They're just perfect."

A baby isn't a teacup poodle! You don't put him/her in your LV bag and tote them around.

Adopting a pet as a fad is hardly responsible or fair to the dog, either. Although I have to say, when that got to be huge in Hollywood, we should have seen adopting babies as the next "up the ante" trend.

[lawyerlee]

Daisy allegedly gets some revenge for that adoption rumor. :D

Jessica's dog day afternoon (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/406008p-343805c.html)

Maybe Daisy, the Maltese poodle that Nick Lachey gave Jessica Simpson for her birthday, was channeling some of Nick's feelings for his estranged wife when the dog scratched her badly enough to require seven stitches on Sunday in Santa Fe, N.M., where Simpson is shooting the comedy "Employee of the Month." A source tells The National Enquirer: "It was a clean gash to the left eye, and there was a bit of blood, but luckily it was quickly fixed. It was a pure accident when Daisy's claw caught Jessica above the eye" during some roughhousing. After her visit to the emergency room, the source said, "Jessica was in good spirts and more worried about how the scar might affect filming than anything else." Simpson's spokesman Rob Shuter said the singer "did have a scratch, but did not have seven stitches."

From PerezHilton.com:

While her boss was oceans away in Australia, Jessica Simpson's assistant, Cacee Cobb was getting up close and very personal with Nick Lachey in Las Vegas.

The twosome, subject of much romance rumors of late, partied and played together Saturday night at Pure, the nightclub at Caesar's Palace.

Nick and Cacee only had eyes for each other, as they spent all night ignoring their entourage and just focusing their attention - and flirting - with each other, several spywitnesses tell PerezHilton.com.

The couple was holed up in the VIP area, hugging and talking, front and center in the VIP section. "They seemed into each other and didn't care who saw them," one clubgoer tells us.

Wonder what Jessica has to say about all of this???

I really doubt they're canoodling. Maybe he's just asking questions about Jessica or she's straightening out something he was misinformed on. Who knows.

[MarriedaGoalie]

It seems to me that they just happen to be in the same picture. Not canoodling.

[maplekitty]

when you'e in a crowded, and loud club, you have to practically be ontop of someone to talk to them while yelling in their ear. I think that's just whats happening here. I don't beleive these reports for a second, because I think Nick knows way better than to do that!

[Sophia]

I don't see the big deal about those pix.

The story about Daisy scratching Jessica's eye area explains the huge bug sunglasses she's been sporting lately.

[Rose]

If something so scandalous happened, where are the pictures? I am guessing those were the best ones.

ETA - I think that says a lot about the cheating rumors about Nick, that Jessica's very good friend will still hang out with him.

[sarahh]

Looks like she's still wearing her wedding band....around her neck...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/shancock/CC%20Album%202/jess_simpson.jpg

[Lili26]

I don't think it is her wedding band. I remember watching her on television once (I don't know if it was their show or not) where she bought a necklace like that. The circle and crosses were already included. Since her wedding band was an eternity ring, it's hard to say. I'm pretty sure they're very over though.

[savannahgrl]

I don't believe it's her wedding ring either. It looks like it is one of those necklaces bought to layer each other.

[Sophia]

It looks like a pendant to me, too.

[sarahh]

From Oh No They Didn't...Five months after Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson announced their separation, Lachey dishes about the end of his marriage in the current issue of Rolling Stone, on stands in New York and Los Angeles Wednesday and nationwide Friday. Here is what he had to say:

• "I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over: I was told."

• "Jessica and I began playing these parts (on their MTV reality show Newlyweds) even when we were by ourselves. It became a really blurred line. There was a question about what truly was our reality."

• "I don't pretend to understand (former father-in-law) Joe (Simpson). ... I don't know if he ever liked me. To this day I couldn't say. It was painful. Do I think Joe drove a rift between us? No. Was he an influence in our marriage? Absolutely."

• "I don't know if there were other men. But if she did cheat, it was the result of something bigger, not the reason we didn't work. ... Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had just walked in the house and found her in bed with a guy. That would be clear-cut. End of story. I wouldn't have to deal with the uncertainty of adultery."

wow!

I heart Nick - that just makes me want to give him a hug! :p

[Sophia]

Poor guy. It sounds like he really had no part in his own marriage or the split. That's just sad.

[westamp]

So sorry the hear Nick's side. It just goes to show that the Goody Goody, I'm a good christian girl image that Jessica had was cultivated. She's nothing but a greedy, selfish, imature brat!

Then again, you could have seen this when she nearly put them in bankruptcy w/ her hideously expensive wedding! :P

[lissy]

for all the Nick fans, he has an MTV special on Saturday at noon followed by a "making the video" show. should be interesting. :)

[ginastorm]

I think Nick is trying his best to not say anything bad about Jessica, yet defend himself as well. He really is a classy guy.

[ssstephanie]

whoa.

[meganth]

It sounds like he still hasn't had closure yet with the whole thing. Poor guy.

[Rose]

I feel sorry for Nick. I hope he is able to move on and find someone as down to earth as him, and that has the same goals as him. I can't help but think that of he keeps dating starlets he's going to end up in the same boat though.

[sarahh]

Two for the price of one!

That's right, Jann Wenner is milking his explosive new Nick Lachey interview by putting it on the cover of both his magazines, Rolling Stone and Us Weekly.

Forget Alien Cruise; we're still not done with Nick & Jess!

"It breaks my heart that I couldn't make Jessica happy," Lachey tells the mag. "I wanted to be everything to my wife."

Can you hear the violins playing????

Let us cry with Nick

"I'd marry her all over again," Lachey syas, somewhat incredulously to us. "Because I still love her. It would be a lot easier to walk away if I didn't."

Lachey admits that he and Jessica went through "a tough phase" last year, though they were trying to work out their problems. That's why the end of his marriage caught him off-guard.

As the couple drove home after the American Music Awards and a post-show dinner, Simpson asked if he still planned to celebrate Thanksgiving (two days later) with her family in Texas. "I said, 'Of course.' And she said something about how we hadn't really been getting along and then said, 'I think I want a divorce.'"

Showing how invested he was in his relationship and how much of a clueless romantic he is, poor Nick begged Jess to sleep on it. But when we woke up the next day, Wednesday . . . she was still sure. I felt like someone sucker-punched me and took my life away. My dog, my wife, the house.

Still hoping he could save his marriage, Lachey wanted to try counseling. “On the day she filed for divorce [December 16], I drove to her parents' house and tried to change her mind,he admits. I thought we owed it to ourselves to try with a third party. . . . But she didn't want to go [to counseling].

And we all know Jessica needs counseling!

After all these months and the heartbreak she has caused his, Nick still - obviously - has feelings for Jessica and is quick to defend her. He says, "Marriage is the toughest thing in the world. To blame her is bullshit."

So far, Nick Lachey is coming off smelling like roses since the separation.

Agreed.

[jh124]

I think Jessica really overshadowed Nick during their entire marriage. Some of that, I believe, was Joe. I feel bad for Nick, but am glad that he spoke his mind about it. I hope he has a fantastic, long lived career and 30 years from now I'm dragging my husband to see him in Vegas. Not because I like him or love his music, more that I'm annoyed by Jessica.:p

I wanted to be everything to my wife. I wanted her to look at me with love in her eyes, the way she did at the beginning, and have her feel like I was the most wonderful, awe-inspiring man on the planet. And when that stopped, it was the worst feeling in the world."

This guy is seriously breaking my heart!!!

What a PR flop for Joessica - i wonder how he's going to try to spin this?

[jbenny75]

Thanks for posting that article. I feel so bad for him. I hope he has a lot of success in the future, he seems like such a good guy.

Oh my gosh! I'm sitting here at work with tears in my eyes. I feel so bad for Nick, he sounds like such a great guy. I truly believe that Jessica will regret this one of these days. She has no idea what she's lost. I'm starting to really dislike her......

[Sophia]

Wow. His heart is so raw and exposed. :(

[meganth]

Wow. His heart is so raw and exposed. :(
As i was reading it, I started wondering how drunk the journalist got him?

[shopaholic]

So that evening he sat his wife down on the bed in their hotel suite in Florence, took her hand and said, "You are an angel, Jessica. You're just not my angel." It was, he says now, their last good time together.

soo sad :(

[Natasha]

Holy crap, that seriously made me tear up. I was always a fan of Jessica, but now, not so much. That article is going to work in his favor like nothing else!

[ruby]

What I wouldn't give to dry his tears....Sorry, I have been having crazy erotic dreams about Nick for months, I think it's the pregnancy hormones. He makes me insane!!!!!

[shopaholic]

I've loved him ever since his 98 degree days...he was always my fav. one. If I wasn't already involved I would pursue him like crazy!

[majorgal]

Now, as I say this, know that I am very much on Team Lachey. I think he totally got the raw end of the deal and that he is sincere in being upset about the breakup of his marriage.

BUT.........

As I read these articles.....I can't help but wonder if he is playing up the hurt just a bit. I have no doubt that public sympathy will do a great deal to boost album sales and such.

Well, yeah. But she made a bundle off their marriage. Before "The Newlyweds" she was just another blond teen pop star. I think the show really created the brand Jessica Simpson. Nick didn't become as popular or profit from it they way she did. And since they broke up, she is still all over the media and Nick has been shut out. While keeping quiet would be taking the high road, if Nick wants the media - and let's face it, he really needs it for his album and career - then he needs to start working it. If he wanted to retire from the business and move back to Ohio and become an accountant, then he should have kept quiet.

[majorgal]

I'm not saying he should have kept quiet...not in the least. What I am saying is that when I read his statements i am not as overcome with emotion for him as others--I think he is overstating his misery a tad because he knows it will win him more fans. I think he knows (he is far from a dumb guy, let's face it, he was the brains in that operation) that his fan base is young women/teens. Being the victimized guy who was devoted and doting wins him major emotion points.

Trust me, I think he is SMART to play that angle for his career. But, I guess I don't feel for him as much as others might.

ITA jh124! If Newlywed's was not a show I can bet a million dollars that these two would still be together. She basically used him to boost her carrer and then dumped him in the end for her own greedy satisfaction. Nick has not bashed her he has spoke very highly of her in fact. So what if he says what is on his mind. Heck I say he should write a "tell all" about her and profit off of her in that way. She did it why can't he?

ITA with you. While I do feel bad for him, I definitely think he's just milking the whole situation. But I don't have a problem with it. I think Joe Simpson took enough advantage of him(didn't he have the editing rights to Newlyweds and not JS & NL) over the years.

[majorgal]

I am not saying that he shouldn't talk. He absolutely should, for a whole host of reasons (remember, I started out my post by saying I am very much on Team Lachey).

All I am saying is that I don't think he is as broken up about the break-up as he sounds in the interviews. I think he is strategically playing up the emotions a bit. And, yes, I am that cynical.

Frankly, I hope he cashes in big time through all this--he was the Desi to Jessica's Lucy. She would not have been as funny had he not been a perfect foil. BUT, I just suspect he is milking the emotional angle because he knows it is his ticket to the bank.

As I said, more power to him (I like the dude). But I am not carrying a box of tissues for him. The bevy of chicks he has been hanging with through all his pain seem to be doing a fine job of comforting him.

[jesvet]

It has to be at least a little genuine. He isn't a very good actor. :D

[newmommy]

I say that he should milk this situation all he can!!!

I feel bad for him---to a point, but I'm loving that he is able to now cash in on their marriage!

[savannahgrl]

If he is milking the situation, go for it Nick! Good for him! Although, to me, he has always come across as a sensitive guy. I could totally see this being his real side.

Magazines also have the tendency to exaggerate stories a bit. It could easily be that he was just tearing up at times, but not quite as dramatic as they make it seem.

[jbenny75]

I'm watching his special on MTV right now. I don't know if it's the PG hormones or what, but he's making me cry. He just breaks my heart when he talks about having kids and how he wanted to be married for life. I think the feelings he's talking about are genuine, by the look on his face and in his eyes. He may be promoting his album, but look what Jess got from the whole Newlyweds thing and their marriage, why shouldn't Nick get something out of it?

As I type, Jess' Proactiv commercial is on and all I can think is, "You selfish bitch." She's really gonna have to work hard to make herself look good again. Nick is handling this brilliantly, he's looking much better than Jess, without saying a bad word about her.

[SingleWhiteFemale]

And as to the necklace--it is her wedding ring:Jessica Simpson is wearing her wedding ring again - but insists she isn't back with estranged husband, Nick Lachey. The 'Newlyweds' stars split last year after three years of marriage, and the pair are in the middle of divorce proceedings. Jessica has now been spotted wearing the wedding band on a chain round her neck rather than on her finger. A friend of the singer-turned-actress insists the blonde has decided to wear it again to remind herself of the happy times the couple shared. The pal told America's People magazine: "You can still move on and have the memories. "Nick will always be an important part of her life." The ring is accompanied by two crosses, one that was given to Jessica by her parents, while the other matches a crucifix that both her sister, Ashlee, and mother, Tina, wear. A source close the 'Dukes Of Hazzard' star also revealed the jewellery represents "a combination of things that are important to her." source: Tonight.co.za

[cocopops]

Well after watching the video of "What's left of me" I guess we now know what that ring around her neck is about and why it has reapeared in these last few weeks. Hmmm... She prob saw the video. Check it out on MTV.com

That is so weird :rolleyes: to remind her of "what is important to her" well if it was soooooo important to her then why on earth would she leave that behind?! I just don't understand that. Isn't that even more of a slap in the face for Nick? Does she even consider that? I bet her dad made her put that on to show her "sympathetic" side :rolleyes:

[ssstephanie]

I saw the video just a bit ago and loved it as well as his singing. I don't know why it made me so sad though. I feel so bad for NL but I really hope his new recod is a huge success. He deserves it.

[savannahgrl]

I think she is doing this (wearing the wedding ring) b/c she wants her fans back not for any memories of Nick. She is so selfish. I'm sure her dad told her to do this.

[Sophia]

I'm surprised. It doesn't hang like I'd expect a ring to, and it looks like the cross is part of the design (soldered on or something).

She's selfish and an idiot. Fun combo.

[Little Angel '77]

wow..... I can't get over him. I read the article, watched 2 hours of him this weekend, and everytime he talks about life, he talks about Kids, and Drews kids. I think he really wanted kids, and I bet Jess put her foot down (I mean with that body... I might too).

I can't GET OVER the fact she is wearing her wedding ring again around her neck. Maybe it will get caught on something and strangle her. One can hope...

I hate her. Go Nick! (Although DH told me ... He can't be "that hurt"... how many records is he going to sell now??)

I think he is just a really honest person. I feel like he is still hurting alot from the breakup, so it might come across as too much emotion to us but to him it is just his feelings. I remember after a bad breakup I went through, a year later I would still tear up when I talked about it. Most of my friends probably thought it was a bit much, but I just could not hold my feelings back at the time b/c I was still hurting.

I watched the Mtv show and I felt so awful for him. He is such a nice guy. I was practically crying while I was watching it at the gym.

I'll buy one!!!!!!

I think she is doing this (wearing the wedding ring) b/c she wants her fans back not for any memories of Nick. She is so selfish. I'm sure her dad told her to do this.

She probably did it to give the impression that they will kiss and make up. The publicity certainly isn't earning her any pts (I've sided w/ Nick since day one of the divorce. The Simpsons are just white trashy wannabes. See Papa Joe's pimp jewelry. Is he related to Federloser?).

I'm glad he didn't take the high road and say she's a saint. Never saw it in her and never will. You know it's been documented in the mags that she was very hated in high school. Kids don't hate you w/o reason (how much do you want to bet she is ugly inside?). If someone like that was in my high school, she'd be the most popular girl in school (head cheerleader too).

Wow, you said it all perfectly!!!!!!!

Even though at one point I did like JS a little, I have to agree that she comes off as being very ugly on the inside for a number of reasons.

I watched Nick's show over the weekend (twice). Can't get enough of him. I really used to like both him and Jessica, but my opinion of her is just shot. Nick just seems to be a really honest and sincere person. And as Vanessa said during the making of the video, "Yes, I'll take ALL that's left of Mr. Lachey".:D

I agree. I can think of many instances of her behavior on the Newlyweds show that point to her being not so nice.

I was watching Newlyweds Season 1 on dvd over the weekend. And there were so many examples of that. She is such a freaking brat, totally rude and a total nasty slob. I hate her and I hope she gets major wrinkles.
