I heard about Jess slobbing over Kasey. Anyone have pictures of it, that work? Please & thank you.

While I don't doubt there is strain and I also read the info about the VMA's from other sources, I don't believe very much of what In Touch writes. They are right up there with US magazine-full of crap. I saw this week that now J-Lo and Marc Anthony are on the verge of a breakup according to In Touch. Whatever it takes to sell mags.

"Yes, I agree. How many celebrity scandals occur each year? Yet, these weekly rags have to come up with space filler... might as well speculate. I doubt any of it is true -- Nick barely had "success" when he wasn't with Jessica, and if he divorces her, his opportunities will be nil. It's almost like they need each other to have any kind of success.

98degrees was quite successful...5x platinum...thats very successful to me, Nick didn't need Jessica then...she was the one latching on to him.


Brit tabloids are always interesting...rumors always start with some truth...we shall see.

Yes, I had heard of Nick before Jessica.

Oh. I hadn't. I'd never heard of Nick Lachey until after he started doing "Newlyweds." I always assumed that his group took a backseat to the Backstreet Boys or N'SYNC and that was the reason I didn't have a clue.

In any event, the rags have to fill space with something, so it might as well be "expert" analysis about why the Lachey-Simpson union is crumbling, even if the notion is completely unfounded. I take it all with a grain of salt.

Hi-Just surfed in-really enjoying all the comments about Jess and Nick. Couldn't agree more! I had actually posted a new thread (still getting the hang of this!) concerning her moaniness in general. Did you see the episode where she keeps harping on about her "bloody booger?" Like blow your nose and shut up! Also (and this is referring to her parents general weirdness)in the episode where Nick performs with the Pussycat Dolls her mother is practically lying on top of her on the bed as she sulks! If my mother did that I'd hit her with a brick!!

98 degrees did take a backseat to N Sync and Backstreet Helter but they were still pretty popular and actually sounded better than N'Sync to me. Also they have said themselves several times that she keeps her money seperate and he keeps his seperate. He quite honestly probably has more than she does but Nick doesn't spend his on everything and everybody all the time like she does. The way that girl spends money, she'll be broke in two years. Of course, they live in California so legally everything she has earned during the marriage he could have whether she says so or not and there isn't anything she or her weirdo parents could do about it.

I didn't mind Jessica's mom lying nearly on top of her. It actually made me wish me and my mom were closer like they are. I am close with my mom but not physically (she's not the huggy kissy type) which I kind of wished she was. However, when she talks about boogers and belches and everything else, it makes my stomach turn. I always thought she was pretty until she did all those things. I'm sure Nick doesn't appreciate it.

Did I hear correctly that Nick and Jessica are separated? I was listening to Howard Stern this morning, and thought he said something about Nick and Jessica taking some time off from one another. Can anyone confirm this, or is this a figment of my imagination?

Oh, I would LOVE this to be true! I'm not quite sure yet. There was a story on MSN.com about this today (which might be where Howard got the idea from), but it's the same "she's more famous- it's causing cracks- reps deny" story that goes around every week or so. If this lasts marriage more than 18 more months- Nick is a bigger person that me though.


It was that Soup show in E! that said it best: It's almost like she's daring us to not think she's hot anymore.

I was just in New York this past weekend, and whereas I didn't see Rent, I saw the poster of Drew Lachy in Rent. Wow. He's hot. :) I knew that from Newlyweds, but it was confirmed many times over by that poster.

Nick's going to be in a movie!


Edit
The rumor.

From the article (thanks for the link lyn1!:
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that Jessica's parents are playing such a large part in the collapse of this marriage!

This is so... ugh. It burns me because you know if they do separate, BigGayPaSimp is going to really play up the "Nick's jealous of Jessucka's success" angle and make it look like Nick's fault. I hope his acting goes over well, because I want to see him succeed no matter what happens. Jess can go pick bloody boogers in a trailer for all I care.

Jennifuh I couldn't agree more!! The clingy parents will act like the whole break up is all Nicks fault. And if you want the truth, it would all be Jessica's fault for allowing her parents to invade every second Of their lives!!

I know I may say bad things about Jess & Nick, but I don't want them to break up. You think they're bad now? Wait till it's "over" and it's all over the news!

According to VH1's the Fabulous life of It girls, Jessica's dessert line has $20 million in sales during the first 10 weeks. Am I the only one who finds this difficult to believe?

I find this very difficult to believe. I thought most people didn't even like it.

I know a couple 16 year olds who think it's "cute." Whatever that means. Probably that it's nasty has hell but because Jessica whores it it's neat and fun and squeeeeee! I've heard people in real life, people online, people who are supposed to sell this crap say that it's crap, and encourage people not to buy it. I'm assuming most who have bought it are like the 16 year olds I mentioned earlier, though I still find 20 million dollars in sales hard to believe.

I bet PaSimp bought a ton of it himself, just to make the sales figures better. Also? The stuff is waaaaaaaay overpriced, so it probably takes, like, a couple of lip glosses and a body cream or two to get to $20 million.

Something tells me that Jessica enjoys the attentionthey get so much more than Nick. Also, by looking at the pics you can see that Cacee seems more comfortable around Jessica than Nick does. I wonder if this has anything to do with the rumors of the two girls making out.

Don't know about them being separated but it wouldn't totally surprise me. Imagine-we get a spliced, heavily-edited half hour programme but Poor Nick has to listen to her drone, belch, fart and talk pure nonsense 24*7 plus try and keep up with her crazy spending sprees. Add to that the fact that she's the type of person who would embarass you constantly with her limited knowledge of just about everything and it must make for a pretty trying time! On another note, I think you could put Christina Aguilera's mother, Britney Spears' mother, Jess Simpson's mother and Justin Timberlake's mother all in a room and not be able to tell them apart. Is it a prerequisite that all Southern Moms look the same??!

NOOOO! We don't all look like those women. I am a proud southern mama and I look nothing like those ding bats. Is Christina from the south? Anyway, I hate to hear those women talk. I am from the deep deep south and I promise you not all of us talk like that, especially JT's mom. She grates on my nerves talking. I think they overemphasize their southern accents thinking they cute or something when all the do is make the rest of us sound like ding dongs. Also just a sidenote, pageants are big here in the south-don't bash me. Justin Timberlake was a regular on the pageant circuit when he was like 10, 11, 12 years old. I'm talking the kinds of pageants you saw on Showbiz Moms and Dads and he was a contestant not entertainment.

Eek! Sorry for the spam-not intentional by any means. My PC froze and must have sent it a few times more than I meant to :(

No offence intended SquirrleyQ-I'm from Ireland so see less southern moms apart from TV. It just seems to me like Lynn Spears is very like Jess's mom-kind of mousey and forgettable and also doing extremely well from offspring's success.

My understanding is that the QVC audience is huge, and they could have easily done millions in sales during a given hour. Lots of people may have thought it was cute and bought it as gifts for teens and young adults.

Of course, that doesn't mean that people who bought it like it and would ever buy it again. There are lots of products that are really hot for a short time and then fizzle away because people bought them on impulse but would never buy them again.

ETA: Isn't Christina from Pittsburgh? I thought I read that somewhere.

I agree with this. I got to taste it at Sephora in Times Square. The stuff tastes like dying. So if you buy it online or on QVC you have no idea what you're getting. Even folks at Sephora thinks it tastes awful and it's usually young teeny boppers that buy it. Which is disturbing because the packaging is so obviously sexual.
But yeah, the shit is nasty.

AAAhh NearlyWed- stop doing that!

FAQ about posting

In other news-- I'd be quite pleased to see them get divorced. If nothing else, it shows girls that acting that way does not make a successful marriage. She's not the role model she thinks she is, and it makes the "book deal" seem even funnier.

Every time I hear about Nick and Jessica, all I can hear in my head is Eddie Murphy, from Raw, saying:

"Half! Johnny Carson is worth 60 million dollars (or whatever he said, I'm paraphrasing) and the bitch gets HALF!" Hee!


I soooooo want Nick to take his half and run. Perhaps he's waiting for the Newlyweds earnings to peak and fall off.

Of course, they don't say what percentage of that $20 million was subsequently returned.

I can't see this thread on page two...I had to bump it back...

OT/ Christina's from Wexford, just north of Pittsburgh /OT

I don't know. After watching footage on Britney's sham of a wedding, I can't help but appreciate Jessica and Nick's affair. At least you knew it was real..... And that Nick at least wasn't a total skell.

Well, it looks like that their divorce is going to happen ...

http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/dailydish/

Since this changes every day, to paraphrase ...

One cited reason is that Nick is sick of Jessica's "dumb blonde" behavior, as well as calling her a "pampered bimbo" and saying "If I'd wanted a bimbo, I would have married Paris Hilton."

An insider reported that they were living separate lives and feels that the split could come within a matter of months.

Nice job on how to have a successful marriage, Jessica. Part of it paying attention to your husband. It looks like he got more love out of his grass than his wife.

I don't know. I don't believe ANYTHING that comes from British news sources, tabloids or anything else. Those "sources" rank right up there with US and In Touch magazines-they are all full of bull. Now when it gets on MSNBC.com Entertainment, FoxNews entertainment, or even MTV.com News-Then I'll believe it.

I agree. I bet they laugh at all the rumors about their marriage. Not that I think their marriage will last forever, but it is probably ok for now IMO.

That article said that viewers suspected that there was trouble between them when Nick called Jessica a bimbo in the second episode of the season. Did I miss something? When did he call her a bimbo? I watched that show every week and I think I'd remember something like that.

I can't remember him calling her a bimbo either Helter. I do remember the episode when they were in Mexico and walking down the walkway from the resteraunt and he was trying to talk to her and she kept flitting back to the conversation with people behind her while Nick was trying to talk to her. He made the comment then that it was useless to try and talk to her because she would get distracted by something as simple as a butterfly. I took that to mean "you are such an airhead" LOL. I did notice a lot of disgusted looks from him in her direction this season and the only times he seemed really happy was when he was doing things without her and with his brother.

Ted C (eonline.com) just mentioned seeing Nick and Jess recently and he seemed to think they are doing fine. I usually trust Ted's judgement. (Of course, he could've been talking smack and I just didn't get it. The one thing I totally didn't get was his comment about Ashlee and the giggles.)

ET had a blurb tonight something about the "rumors" surrounding Nick and Jess but they were with them in the studio-it was a plug for the Whole New World redo that they did for the Aladdian DVD release.

Seriously it cannot be easy to try and have a relationship with people following you all the time and shoving cameras in your face all the time. It's hard enough when you are just an average Jane and Joe, but when you are in the public eye-egads I'd go crazy.

And add to the mix, in-laws that NEVER go away, and you're pretty much setting yourself up for failure.

Well, that's good. As much as she annoys me, I don't like to see marriages fail. But I do hope that either way, she does try to move away from this bimbo, and pay more attention and care to Nick than they portrayed in their last season.

Ho. Lee. Crap. I flip on my TiVo tonight to watch my recording of Survivor and what do I see on the main page? But a Nick and Jessica Aladdin video (aka a minute of fake studio footage of them singing). I'm guessing it was the same footage squirrleyQ saw on ET. Jessucka? You are not supposed to be touching yourself when you sing a song from Aladdin, mm'kay?

There were also some behind the scenes clips. Basically clips of them singing with Jessica yammering over them about how she gets to sing the song with her husband and how they're pop singers and not r&b singers like the last people who recorded the song. I think it killed a tiny bit of my soul.

A great portion of my soul is gone after hearing Jessica masacre songs.

I saw the ET bit lastnight. Nick was quoted as saying that he just sings where he can get in, b/c Jessucka is such an animated singer. He says that means she is a strong singer. I think he means the same thing we do, she jerks, and contorts her face into weird expressions. Stop mincing words Nick, you agree your wife is a spaz when she sings!

This is from a few pages back, but I had to comment on it. Since I am a nerd, I went to Imdb to check this out and sure enough, Their second anniversary is this month. Nick is definitely a bigger person than me, too.

IIRC, Nick knew Jessica for awhile before they got married. You'd think he would have known what he was getting himself into.

As the immortal quote goes: I think, therefore I'm single.
