I caught that and thought it was hilarious! Nick and his best pal from college may have snuck off into the rough for a little weed break. That would explain the bad playing -- well, that and hangovers, lack of skill, and more Miller Lite than is rational.

I think I win the baby diapering contest. I'm 41 and have never changed a diaper. The only two times I babysat, the baby's 5-year-old brother changed the diapers for me. In my defense, I didn't ask him to, he showed me the first time and just did it the few times after that. The kid was an amazing caregiver!

I wonder about Jessica: Sure she doesn't want to ruin her figure, she's only 23 or 24 and it's gotten her a lot of attention so far. Also, maybe she's just a girl who doesn't want to give birth. There are more out there than you might think. Unfortunately, she and Nick seem to have done too little discussion of such issues (finances, babies, housecleaning, etc.) before they got married. OR, maybe it's all to make the show more interesting. Perhaps they are planning for a baby when she is 25 or 26, but they go along with all the speculation now because it creates drama.

The vacation with the college friends was clearly another setup, but I was glad that for once Nick's pals are getting something free and fun. They seemed like a nice couple and certainly not the type to freeload from a friend. Maybe Casey is being edited to look bad, but if it's all scripted, then she had to know that she was going to come across as a lazy moocher. So, she got to live for [how many?] months in a lovely home and go around with her famous friend and be on TV. If she "looks bad" it's the price she's paying, I suppose.

The also said that later on in the season, Nick gets a crush on Cacee!!!!!!

Back when Cacee first arrived, I wondered if that would happen. Such a soap opera.

Regarding the spoiler:
Is it Nick gets a crush on CaCee or Nick crushesCaCee? 'Cause I vote for the latter. Oooh, maybe they can bring back the forklift and she can stand behind it!

I've got two younger siblings and I've still only changed, like, two, total, in my 20 years alive. Thank God my parents didn't know a 5-year-old could be trained to change a diaper... I've talked about having wipe bro's ass for him when he was little, but it was figurative. (Me, age nine = babysitter. Bro, aged nine = needs a babysitter. That ain't right)

I've watched this show several times now, and it's official - I hate Nick's smarm way, way more than I hate Jessica's stupidity. Shut up, Smarm-man.

Article about them "leaving" Newlyweds. Isn't their 3 season cntract up? So, they're not really leaving then, right? They're just...done.

Funny article describing Jessica as a third-rate Mariah.

What will they do without Newlyweds? I'm being serious. Their music careers (if one could generously call them as such) are running jokes with critics, and neither has any other obvious skills. Any money they made will be quickly (and thoughtlessly) spent by the extravagence that is Jessica. I'll wager that in five years, they'll be broke, on the verge of divorce, and completely out of the limelight. Newlyweds is the only reason either one of them is famous and earning money--why are they giving it up? Fools.

That sound you hear is third-rate Mariahs everywhere scoffing at the insult.

I am certain they mention adoption because otherwise it means that Jess will either have to sleep with Nick or allow the turkey baster near her... and I don't think she is going to allow either those things to get her dirty.

Word, word and word. I always wonder how much, if at all, Kaysee kicks in when they go to dinner, or the spa, or whatever. Damn, it's bad enough to be a leech, but to be a leech on national TV? Girl has no shame. I'll bet Jessica pays her a lot of money since Kaysee's her friend and Jessica doesn't appear to be smart with money. Can't she offer to pick up a bill for a change? Granted, the producers don't always show who pays for what, but I'm willing to bet my new stiletto sandals Kaysee sits on her goddamn hands when the bill comes around. Or she's probably one of those people woh always has to go to the bathroom when the check appears. She bugs as much as Jessica does.

Just had to say...I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessica's hot pink hat at the Kentucky Derby. Where else but the South could you wear a big ass and no one say anything?

I wonder who Nick will blame when they go broke in a couple of years? Jessica for spending too much money on shopping? Jessica and Cacee for letting her mooch off of them? PaSimp, who knows what kind of contract he made up to get his cut? You know that they had her give her mom and dad a bigger percent of the earnings because they're her family and everything.

I thought Lea was a party planner. In the Vanity Fair article, it says that she's Jessica's choreographer for her current tour. Does anyone know how Lea and Drew met?

I think they went to school together.

I do think that Lea has a dance background because when I saw 98* in concert my senior year in college (no, I'm not kidding!), she was one of their back-up dancers. Also, an interesting note, Jessica opened for them and Ashlee was one of HER back-up dancers!

I took it to mean that when you adopt a child first, there are less issues amongst that child and your natural children. However, I think that there could be issues either way. If you had a child first, then that child could be jealous of the adopted child. As adoptive parents, you may want to give that adopted child more love because their own parents gave them up. Or if you had your own child after you adopted, the adopted child could feel jealous as well, like they would not be as loved as the one that was actually a part of the parents. I think adoption is a a very noble, selfless thing to do, and if Nick and Jessica decide to do it, I believe that they would be good at it. Both of them.


Enough people have commented about not changing diapers until well past their 20s so I won't. However, if it wasn't for the fact that there I have a big family were people were always having kids, I wouldn't have changed one either. As a teenager, I got money from my parents. When I did get a job at 17 it was for an oil & gas company and I got it though a co-op class. There weren't that many opportunities for babysitting in my neighborhood anyway. I did it happily and willingly for relatives whenever I could, though.


I know lots of women who can't wear flat shoes at all. I can't wear them on concrete for too long, or else my arches start hurting. I learned my lesson after trying to go miniature golfing in flip-flops. I barely made it back to the car, I was in so much pain. I had to take the shoes off just to be able to walk even a little.

I work with a woman who can't wear flats and once we went to an outdoor festival and she had on 3 inch heels. She was the only one who didn't have to stop for breaks because of hurting feet.

word I totally agree. I bet you that both their careers tank, esp. once this show ends and the reality craze finally ends. I think Jessica's "I'm dumb with big boobs" that got her that variety show will get no love either.

I think what will happen is that Jessica will continue to think that she is a "celebrity" and therefore spend all this money on useless things (LV bags, maids, assistants, pimp watches) to maintain her "status". Nick will be rendered helpless in trying to contain it. PaSimp will be trying to hatch other schemes to get more fame and Jessica will become a Charro or Pia Zadora type.

Nick will be freed and be able to live a simple life (maybe with that fishing gal?)

The main reason that Nick and Jessucka should not adopt is that they refer to having their "own" children versus adopting. Until they understand that adopted children will be their "own" too, they should not adopt.

USO gigs, rodeos, malls, campus tours...

Jessica has been in the biz for how long and this is all she can get?

I'm sorry, but this should be so embarassing for her, but it's not...


Those camera-clickers were so staged. I'm sorry, but to have 5 people trying to take your pictures with mid-grade photo equipment does not make them paparazzi...it makes them paid employees of MTV. Paparazzi only buzz around if a hot star is around.

These paparazzi are like vultures circling a half-dead animal. And WTF was Casee hiding her face for?

How come in all the other shows they can dine out in mid-rate establishments and no one gives a rat's ass except pre-pubescent fans?

Please. Go to the Home Depot if you want a picture of these two has-beens.

P.S. What the hell is Nick doing with his life on a daily basis?

Respectfully disagree. Celebrities Uncensored is proof of that.



A ton of high profiled acts are doing the exact same venues.



I am in the minority but I think Nick has made enough money that would afford him the lifestyle that he is currently living. His group was the most popular but from touring, writing, and merchandising he should have a couple of million lying around.

He doesn't appear to be care free when spending money.



Maybe before the show but not now.

Who knows how long it will last but they are milking it for every penny.

Is Nick guesting on Charmed for a story arc? Impressing Mr. Spelling can do wonders for a TV career, he knows everyone and his opinion is taken seriously. If he can aquit himself professionally there, I would think that with their "celebrity" that he could parley that into other guest spots.

I doubt if Nick will ever be a superstar or a major Hollywood player, but he's a sensible, down-to-earth guy who, with a little luck, can avoid the pitfalls of being a has-been. I'd be willing to bet that years from now, he'll be financially secure and working steadily as some kind of actor/TV host/director/producer/manager. He'll probably morph gracefully into a very handsome middle-aged man (like Richard Gere) without being lifted and tucked and botoxed in a desperate effort to look 30 forever (like Michael Douglas). And I'm sure that, post-divorce, he will always speak fondly and respectfully of Jessica in public (although, egged on by Pa and Ma, she'll probably spend the rest of her pathetic life badmouthing him).

Taken by itself, Jessica's lack of experience with diapers might not mean anything. But it's just another in a long list of things she's never learned to do, which supports my assessment that she is a spoiled brat who's never lifted a finger to do ordinary chores in life. (Nothing against any other posters who didn't do diapers as a kid though.) I'm hating on Jessica, no one else... and I really, really hate her.

Edited to emphasize the hate.

Agreed. She can't pump gas, clean up after herself, read, match the number on her hotel key with the number on her hotel room door, etc. As a parent, I see that as a failure in the upbringing department. Basic life skills are not optional for anyone.

I've got a friend who grew up with mega-millions. She can operate a washing machine, change a tire, clean up after herself, etc. Her parents made all of their kids learn all of these things. Now, it was the live-in maids who taught them, but they did learn.

Does anyone know when Nick will begin appearing on Charmed?

I can't pump gas either, but that's because I live in New Jersey.

I can't stand Jessica. The whole conversation about dating a guy for his money is better then working at Hooters annoyed the crap out of me. It's like she doesn't understand that people need to work for money to support themselves, and that other no talented girls can get record deals just like that.

I used to be a huge 98 degrees fan but then I grew out of that phase. I always had a crush on Drew and was very upset when I found out he got married. I watch this show just to see him.

Also I used to think that Nick and Jessica were a cute couple, and then this show came out and now they bug the crap out of me.

Word. Mr.Maggiegault comes from major money himself. You'd never know it, though. He's a down-to-earth, DIY guy, because his parents raised him right. As in, no, the maid will not clean your room, because it's your mess...you clean it up.
No, the maid will not do the dishes, you will load the dishwasher when it's your night to do so. No, the maid is not here to pick up your laundry and towels. Do it yourself and acquaint yourself with the hamper.

The boys (Mr.Maggie has a brother) received modest allowances, and both had after-school jobs in high school. They also worked summer jobs during college. Their parents did pay for their schooling, and they didn't want for money while in school, and both boys had a nice car (Honda Accord)...but they were not spoiled.

Mr.Maggie also knows the value of a dollar. We do pretty well for ourselves. We aren't rich, but we are comfortable. We could afford to hire a landscaper to take care of the lawn and garden. Mr.Maggie does it himself. Partly because he enjoys it, and partly because he doesn't believe in spending the money paying someone else to do what he can easily do himself. Sound familiar? Nick? Nana? Anyone?

Edited to add:


This is absolutely true, I would think. I have a hasbeen friend who was in a very famous band once. He told me that after their biggest tour, at the very zenith of their popularity, all of the members basically came home, went to their homes, kissed their wives/girlfriends hello, and went to sleep for about six months. Fame and the touring lifestyle is exhausting. My friend said that it took him about three years to do anything really significant after the band broke up. That wasn't due to drugs or financial problems...the guy was just tired. He had the money to kick back and relax; he bought a new house; his wife had a baby...why not? It's good to enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Drew and Lea had been friends since they were nine years old. They met at school, and then dated seriously in highschool. OT I know but someone asked.

Woo-hoo! Go Jersey! I had to go to PA once by myself and was forced to pump my own. It was a harrowing experience because the gas machines are hard to figure out now, so I have sympathy for anyone who has to pump their own and doesnt know how. Of course I figured it out fairly quickly, but I was nervous when I pulled up to the pump because I didnt want other drivers looking at me and laughing at how incompetent I was at the task. God help me if NJ ever lifts the ban on self serve gas.

But Jessica grew up in Texas, where I live, and where I have never seen anything but self serve gas stations. And in Texas, and for a fact in Dallas, you have to drive everywhere, as there are no good public transport systems. So her gas pump ignorance is stupid, because she had to be driving everywhere, but never getting her own gas? Unless her parents drove her everywhere, and since she started going on tour at about 16, she had drivers and stuff. And then she moved to LA, and never had to put gas there because she was driven everywhere. Wait, this makes no sense either, she wasnt that famous till last year.
As with everything else, I blame creepy PaSimpson and dumb MaSimpson. Its more fun that way.

Sorry to play Devil's advocate, but I was in PA with my Dad once and I was the one driving, BUT when we needed gas, he's the one who pumped it. So again, I see nothing weird in never having pumped your own. Also I will add, Jess is a very lazy and girly girl, I can totally see her thinking it was the man's job to do such (dirty)tasks, therefore, letting her dad, Nick, friends do it for her always.

Ugh, stop making me defend her please!

Nick demonstrates what I think is the hallmark of knowing the value of a dollar -- he refuses to hire someone to do what he could do himself. Jessica hasn't figured that out yet.

Wait....New Jersey has a law that gas stations can not be self service? Does that mean they not only pump the gas but do they do the wind shields as well? I am seriously not trying to be snotty here but growing up with only self service stations, I think the idea of someone else pumping my gas, especially in the winter, sounds delightful.

O/T It didn't suprise me about the gas, diapers, not checking price tags, cooking, movie times, cleaning, laundry......AND I am still pissed about her Hooters comment...sisters in the service industry have to stick together.

Yep, its illegal to pump your own in NJ. They will wash if you ask, but I've not ever seen it automatically done except every once in a blue moon. And I must say, it is fantastic. People make fun of NJ all the time, but really, its awesome to live here. We have the mountains, the beach, farmlands, just about everything, and we dont even pump our own gas to boot. Next time your making fun of us being the armpit of America just imagine yourself pumping gas in 30 degree weather!

OT- Yes some stations do wash your windows for you without being told. Other times you have to ask them to wash, but you can also do it yourself. Yes people in New Jersey are spoiled, but we have high taxes. OT

I actually have Jessica's first CD and she could actually sing, I have no idea what happened to her voice.

Whether or not she's ever had the opportunity to pump her own gas is neither here nor there - there are instructions printed on every pump. No offense intended to KateQD or anyone else who has had a difficult time at the pump; Jessica delights in being stupid.

Aww look at me, I can't get the go juice out of the pumper thingie - help me, feel sorry for me. Better yet, do it for me.

O/T I lived in Jersey for many years and loved it. I miss the gorgeous Falls. The weather was so beautiful then. O/T

Jessica's voice has gone down the shithole. On her first CD she actually sounded REALLY GOOD. I Wanna Love You Forever was a huge hit and people were calling her "Britney with a good voice and bigger cans". I don't know what happened.. Now she makes such weird faces and breathy voices. Maybe she's been "refluxing" like her lil' sis Asslee?

Just wanted to say that I worked at a gas station in NJ for about 5 years and we always had to do the windows, unless it was super busy and you were the only one working. Sometimes, when it was freezing at night in the winter, and I would just stand there and let the tank fill, I would look over to see my boss doing a pantomime of window-washing, and then I would be forced to wash someone's windows while my fingers were frostbitten. And people in New Jersey are dicks, because no one ever says thank you, even if I check your oil and tire pressure in the cold/rain/dark/heat wave. Fuck you all, New Jersey.

Anyway, as someone mentioned, there are instructions on the pumps. It really isn't hard to figure out. And didn't she say some stupid ass shit about how someone told her that after it clicks off you should pump in some more to make sure it's full? I mean sure go ahead if you want gas dripping down the side of your car. But someone must have told her that. So I'm sure they instructed her about how to insert the nozzle and click. She's an idiot. She couldn't even figure out where to put the credit card. I mean, has she never been to a store where you need to swipe your own card? Absolute fucking moron.

Well, I guess you always had to do the windows at the gas station you worked at because I've lived in New Jersey my entire life and the windows never ever get cleaned unless asked. I saw thank you and mean it. I realize that it's not fun to be pumping someone's gas in the rain or cold weather, but hey, it's not my fault it's against the law. People have a misconception of how NJ people are all as*holes who are always in a rush, but that's really just not true.

Even though normally I am not a proponent of people living together, I feel that in this case, it would have saved Nick a LOT of heart-ache. I wonder how much time he and Jessica spent doing anything remotely normal and domestic when they dated. She seems like such a prima dona that she'd expect a date to involve being taken somewhere (not Hooters) and it be some big production. I can't see them just hanging out in his house, watching March Madness like I did with my boyfriend (now hubby). And, if they were both on tour/busy, I wonder if they really spent a lot of time together. Maybe her stupidity comes out with time (time edited for our benefit).

Hell, I could have seen CreepyPa doing a reality series about Nick not getting any while living with Jessica. I'm suprised they don't have the headboard cameras like in the Real World.

To add to the NJ topic, went their once. The gas pumping was interesting-- very different from CA. However, I could not get over all the tolls and bridge fees. Sheesh, I complain about a one-way toll of $3 here, I paid a fortune while I was in NJ. Other than that, seemed fairly OK.

Fametracker Blue Moons article talking about the Vanity fair issue that JSimple appeared in. You have to scroll down a little ways to see what was said about her article.

The Hooters discussion pissed me off! It's not like the girls are pushing guy's faces into thier breasts or grinding up on them. They're just wearing short orange shorts, tank tops, and don't they have to wear nylons? Jessica wears much skimpier shit than Hooters girls. Hell, she prances around in bathing suits all the time on her show, and her boobs are busting out of evrything! THEN she said women should just marry rich men! I swear I couldn't pick my jaw up off the floor for 15 mins.

Every time I see a picture of Jessica Simpson, I have a hard time believing she's only 23. (Or whatever her accurate early-20s age is.) She looks so much older--more weathered, I guess. Does anybody else see that?

maybe because she hangs around with Nick, who's really old !




although without her full on make-up she looks younger.

I don't really mind pumping the gas. That's what I got paid to do. It was when people asked me to check the oil/tire pressure/brake fluid/coolant/etc and it was freezing cold/raining/hailing/pitchblackdarkness/heatwave/humidity/etc and couldn't simply say "Thanks" that pissed me off. Those things aren't against the law to do yourself.

I wonder what Jessica would do in the event she got a flat tire? That would be hysterical. I'm sure she would just call Nick and whine until he came to fix it for her.

Speaking of cars, this reminds me of some crap that the guy that opened for her at the concert was blabbing on about. I can't remember his name, but I think he was dating Ashley Simpson or something. Ryan perhaps? Anyway he told this long boring story and it ended with him rearending Jessica's brand new Mercedes. And instead of being mad, she said "That's okay, I didn't really like that car anyway."

Yeah I mean, cause who likes a brand new Benz? Not me for sure!

A while back someone here posted some photos that Jessica did for a magazine. She was wearing practically nothing and had her legs up in the air. Very slutty. I think her justification is that it's okay or her to be sexy because she's married or some dumbass reason like that. I honestly don't think she has the brain capacity for rational thought.

Personally, I don't like the concept of Hooters, but I wouldn't judge someone for working there. Her judgment about the Hooter girls sickened me. And it obviously sickened Nick as well.

Regarding the whole Hooters conversation, I think she has the opinion she has on it because she's led a very sheltered life and doesn't know jack about anything so just repeats what she's heard other people say about various topics. A lot of people I know do this to try to seem more educated than they actually are, and it's quite annoying because if you try to have a deeper conversation with them about the issue, they end up with logic (or lack of) like Jessica.

Best quote of that argument though, from Nick was when he was like "When have you been in a Hooters?" and she said "I haven't, ever in my whole life!" and he was like "Well then WTF are you even talking about this when you don't know about it?!" Lately he just seems super frustrated with her.

People of New Jersey are excused, but since Jessica isn't from NJ, I agree with the poster who questioned how someone who drives would never need to refuel her vehicle.

I agree. And I keep getting my hopes up that Nick is reaching his limit. Then my hopes are dashed, when I read here about the new dog he gave her, and the talk of renewed vows or whatever it was.

With the exception of my own sweet son, I have to agree with you Hailey 100% . A.DOR.A.BLE!!! To hell with Jessucka Simpson and her husband, Mr. Jessucka Simpson. MTV, if you've got a progamming brain in your collective heads, you'll sign Mason up for his own show forthwith. I could sit and watch him and his infectious smile for hours :) What a cutie pie!!!!

[Sorry to interrupt the whole Hooters/Jersey/Pumping Gas in the Bitter Cold discussion, but I just had to get than in. Now, please, continue talking amongst yourselves:) ]

I've been to Hooters, unfortunately. I was only seventeen! Boys made me do it. Waitresses do kind of push their breasts in guy's faces and they do stuff like hoola hoop and race eachother on office chairs (so weird but sort of fun to do on your own - not so guys can stare at your suntan-pantyhose covered ass). They also put bibs on guys and pour the ketchup for them if asked - gross. There was nothing that killed my appetite more than watching an 19-year old Hooters waitress fawn all over a fifty year old man in front of his wife and kids. It's such a family establishment...

Those are all good reasons not to like Hooters. I think its demeaning, and I don't think I'm naive or closeminded. As a former waitress, current bartender, I would never work at a place like that. Yuck. I guess I have more of a "can't understand why" someone would work there when there is just as much money to be made eslewhere. Much like I can't understand becoming a bikini waxer. But I don't think Jessica understands demeaning or objectification or gratuitous or commodifying female sexuality.

Gold-digging is so different from prostitution because, you know, you marry the guy. Duh! It's much classier.
