The REJOYCE CD cover photo looks like someone was rubbing a balloon on her head. You know, how it makes your hair stick up funny?

I thought the cover photo gave her that 'just screwed' look, which seems rather odd, for a Christmas album. But they're all about the sex so I suppose it fits.

Aye, tis true. After all, it was her baby sis who put the La La in the Fa La La La La.

I stopped by this thread to investigate whether all the Newlyweds reruns were signaling a third season. I was really hoping it wasn't true, but reading 'the email' changes my attitude considerably. It puts a smile on my face to think their marriage might be on the rocks.

I'm a bad, bad person.

According to MTV, the new season starts on the 26th. Start stock piling the liquor now! We're gonna need it.

I saw a photo of Jessica on one of the entertainment magazines -- don't remember which one -- with an article about celebrities losing weight for roles. She looked like she dropped about 25 pounds and was looking really gaunt. Her face looked skelator-like. Does anyone have the scoop on this? Did she have to lose weight to wear the Daisy Dukes?

Has anyone else read the interview with Pa Simp in this month's GQ? If not, check it out (it's the one with Kate Bosworth on the cover). It reinforces everything we've always suspected about him. Tacky, voyeuristic cheeseball. And interestingly, only one brief mention of Nick in the whole thing. Just a quick, abrupt denial of the rumors that he and Nick don't like each other.

LOL

She has been working out a lot while filming this movie...thus she has lost weight. Plus she has been on a strict diet from what I have read. I don't think she was asked to--I think she wanted to in order to look good in the shorts.

However, unless she continues to work out several hours a day when her movie is done, then she will most likely not keep all of that weight off.

There is a photo of Jessica in one of the British magazines - Hello or OK or something like that - she looks emaciated. Her stomach is concave and her ribs are jutting out all over. It's sick. Bassoboyfriend did a really loud AH JAYSUS!!! when he saw her. I understand wanting to look thin for the short shorts, but I think she's gone too far.

On another note I read a blind item recently (can't remember where, might've been Ted C.) that hinted at some hot star's close relative spying on her when she changes. It smacked of Pa Simpson spying on Jessica. It's sick. Man needs help.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I didn't think of that! I read that blind item (you're right - it's Teddy C.) and Creepy Pa didn't even enter my mind. Of course, I didn't spend too much time thinking about it since I am not so good at those things, but I think you must be correct.

Maybe him walking in on their topless sunbathing wasn't a mistake...

I just saw her on a cover where I mostly saw her face, and it was skeletor, sunken eyes and all. She looks disturbing. I love to mock her, but that was just disturbing. I also find it difficult to believe she has the self-control to diet like that. She should gain the weight back.

Oh, but I'm sure he's just 'looking out for her'. You know, he NEEDS to spy on her to make sure she's not getting too thin.

F'in freak.

Pa Simp just wants to " provide " for his daughter, she seems to need the assistance, which he`d be more than happy to give! :-)

Maybe he just wants to make sure that her double Ds, as he so proudly called them, are all perky & stuff for her photo shoots! Y'know, just in case she needs "assistance" with having her nipples tweaked or something. Because he really is just looking out for her!

Okay, I'm going to be sick now.

Casey (K-C/Kay-Ce/CaCee/whaterverthehellhernameis) is reportedly dating Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart.

Bosso, I know exactly what you are talking about, and it was Ted's column, because I just read it yesterday. And I also thought immediately of Creepy Pa Simpson, even more so because Ted referred to his unknown person as "Mr. S". I TOTALLY think that it's about Creepy Pa.

Me too. That man is faaaar too transfixed with Jessica's boobies. It makes me think of the interview Ashlee just did for Allure. She says, "I got lucky because my chest size isn't completely massive. But I definatelty have boobs, so nobody's going to pick on me about that, I think." She doesn't elaborate as to why not having massive boobs is lucky or who would be picking on her for smaller boobs, but I have a pretty good idea about both. Also, ew.

I've been away from this thread for more than a month but there's no way I could forget Nick and Jessica. I am truly astonished at how many many magazine covers they are on every week! I can't buy cheese puffs without reading about the state of their marriage. And so I'm hooked back in and looking forward to Season 3.

Anyone else think that after season three wraps Nick and Jessica will be announcing their seperation?

There has to be something to the rumors. Look at Anniston and Pitt. I think they're waiting so there's more of a chance the show will do well.

ok, this is completely random, but did anyone else notice Jessica take a bite out of a pickle and then RETURN it to the jar during the episode where CreepyPa walks in on all the women while they are topless. What...the....hell??? WHO DOES THAT??

Me. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

I just finished reading "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Fascinating book, and a very quick read. Anyway, there is a section on married couples, in which researchers figured out a way to predict who will stay together and who won't based solely on a watching a brief conversation between them. It turns out that you can't pay attention to their actual words (which may be reasonable and loving,) or their demeanor in a rehearsed or self-conscious situation (couples therapy.) One of the most important things to watch for are expressions of contempt, either verbally or facially. That is an exceptionally strong indicator of a seriously unhappy relationship. And in the show I happened to catch yesterday, the one with the idiotic "squirrel/chipmunk/woodpecker, are acorns made of wood" conversation around the dinner table with all the Simp hangers-on, Nick was wearing contempt all over his face, and wasn't bothering to hide it. If I hadn't had other things to do yesterday, I would have watched more and observed it in light of "Blink." Ferraris and emerald rings notwithstanding, those two don't stand a chance.

I think Jessica has developed an eating disorder. If you watch old Newlyweds episodes you will see that she orders food but barely eats any of it. Also, I don't think one gets that gaunt just by working out with a trainer. She is starving herself.

I think there is truth to the rumors of their marriage being in trouble. I love reading the tabloids ("shut up- it's my thing"- Miranda, "Sex and the City") and they are not right 100% of the time, but they are right a LOT of the time.

Oh yes, when that episode first aired we were ALL freaking out over that moment. Although a few people admitted that within their own families they had once done something like that, most people rated Jessica's behavior as straightup nasty.

I can't wait for season three but I don't know if I can take it if there's too much obvious contempt between these two. I liked the show at first because it seemed as if they were in love with (or at least infatuated with) each other and were trying to figure out how to be a married couple while being minor celebrities at the same time.

I watched the marathon off and on yesterday while I was working on other stuff around the house. In the finale episode (I'm guessing it was their anniversary), once again Jessica didn't get Nick anything. He hands her a Tiffany bag and she mumbles "Oh, I didn't get you a gift". The fact that buying him something doesn't even occur to her just goes to show that she thinks it it's all about her all the time. Great marriage to be in, I'm sure.

...course if I were Nick I'd be happy to not receive another pimped out fugly watch like she bought him before....

Good point, Ashleigh's Mom. She is a bad gift giver, but sometimes it is the thought that counts. By getting him absolutely nothing it just seems that she can't look past herself long enought to think about her husband.

Lord knows Mr. Truffles17 gets me some "interesting" things at times, but at least he tries. Usually he's a very good gift giver, though there are times I'm thinking WTF?!

Kind of like what always happens on reality shows like The Bachelor? I feel as though there is some obligation to pretend like you're still together for a few months after the show wraps. Then, after people don't care anymore they can come out with news of "the break-up." That is, if these couples were really dating in the first place.

Sad thing is, she didnt buy it for him. She and Nick did a concert for Jacob the Jewelers (the guy who makes the jewelry for rappers, etc) kid or relative and they got so much $$ credit from him to buy jewelry.

It was kind of an odd present to get him. It was so flashy and he seems really down to earth.

I have been watching the reruns because the new show airs soon. It seems like all of their "romantic moments" were completely staged for the show. Like Jessica daddy was the one to talk Nick into setting something up for her, basically for entertainment value. The tension seems to be getting worse, so watching a new season will be F-U-N!!

Did anyone else notice Jessica's horrified expression after all that happened?It was just a really embarrassed expression-I actually felt sorry for her.

I'd hate to think the love is gone from their marriage. I prefer to imagine they're in a rut and turning into regular fighting married couples.
Nick called the puppy a cock blocker. Heee. His efforts to unspoil her have failed miserably.
"If I wanted to kill you I'd shoot at you". Classic

Why do I think that the fight they were having in the car during the first ten minutes of the show is probably what their marriage is like 97% of the time?

Separation in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,.... There's no love in that marriage.

I just feel that they could really benefit from a 'no money' anniversary or date. The emphasis on bigger, bling-ier, pricier is just revolting. It's all about excess and that just wears thin after a while.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Nick did write a card that Jessica couldn't make the effort to read. That sucks.

It's funny how they build up that "Nick and Jessica: Touching Lives Everywhere" crap then show that ending scene (in this ep) with her lying to that caterer by saying everything was "wonderful". So I guess they touch lives everywhere by sending people off.

I was cracking up (and cringing) when Jessica was all, "This is the same as our wedding cake". First of all, duh. Second of all, of course Nick knows that because he was like...there. Third of all, we know because you've had that cake on the show twice now (not including this time). And fourth, duh.

I'm tired of that damn cake. Mainly because it makes me want some.

And speaking of sweets. Jessica gets a root canal next ep? That even seems like it's not good enough punishment for her.

Why isn't anyone commenting on the show at Fametrackers.com yet? I can't post there anymore. :( That being said, surprised people aren't talking much about the show period. Maybe people are getting bored already?

Well, it was a painfully boring episode. Hell, I even missed CreepyPa. Was he on at all tonight? I don't remember seeing him. If it doesn't pick up next week, I may just stop watching it completely.

Oh, I watched it. (I just had to finish posting in the fabulous Project Runway thread first before meandering over here.)

I was still actually on a high from PR, so I didn't fully start paying full attention until I saw they were going to the fabulous California wine country. Beautiful scenery, and I was so jealous of all the sparkling wine and food they got to sample!

In fact, I don't think I've disliked Jessica as much as I did during their lunch. Dude...that food looked AWESOME. And I'm a vegetarian. That dessert? Yum. And then to watch her just turn her nose up at everything like that? Fucking hick. People who have closed minds about food like that? Just...HATE. And all that gagging stuff was so very annoying. I rather liked the visible contempt on Nick's face during that scene. Oh, I also liked the hottie chef. (Call me!)

Caught Drew in Rent this weekend (thank you, blizzard!). Loved him. He's so tiny! Aw.

Watching the marathon & then this - Jessica is just evil. Watching her play the part of the princess & the dumb blonde just kills me, because I know she's not that bad. She wasn't two years ago when this began, or even way back when she was just the virgin, third in line blonde from Texas. And to see her progressively get more snooty & more dumb, it's just sad. I look at them, and I just see no love - none. And it's obvious she's not giving any love either, because Nick seemed to practically be begging for some sex. What the hell? If that was my husband, he'd have to beg to me stop. He's gorgeous, patient, kind, hard-working and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. How can you just not display any love towards him at all? Butchering the card he gave her? Like, what the fuck? You can read, Jessica.

Actually, that was in doubt not too long ago! LOL! On a more serious note, she did the same thing during last season's Valentines Day, remember?! Why does he even still bother? Also, why don't we ever see her write HIM a card and have him read it?! Can she not write?!

The way Jessica acted at the lunch was just like a third grader. It's time to grow up. There's something to be said for being gracious and polite. She's such an embarassment to Nick.

ITA. She is so superficial. I thought that bracelet was just so huge and tacky, so of course she loved it. And carrying your dog around in an LV bag. She's so unimaginative and tacky. Doesn't LV make a dog carrier in that white print that she loves so much?

I think he's spending all his time with Ryan; at least he was with him when he came to DC for inaugural events. You know how PaSimp loves to namedrop and now thinks he's best buds with the Pres. I actually think Nick and Jessica seemed more relaxed without her parents around.

I agree. The faces she was making, I wouldn't tolerate that behavior from a five year old. She's so infantile. What's sad is that that winery probably gave them that whole weekend for free for the publicity, and Jessica not only doesn't appreciate, but she sucked the whole life out of the weekend.

That's the main thing I hate about her; she's so entitled and unappreciative. She gets heavily discounted designer clothes, and throws them all over the floor and wears A&F sweats. She gets free meals at fabulous establishments, and she makes icky faced because she'd really rather be eating at Tony Roma's.

Oh, and could it be any more clear that Nick isn't getting any? Well, that's what he gets for marrying a moron girl-woman.

Oh my fucking god what a heinous, heinous bitch. He goes to the trouble to write out a fairly lengthy card to express his feelings, which, inexplicably have to do with liking your perspective, apparently. And she just sucks the feeling out of it.

A card with a detailed message about why you like the person you're with on your anniversary - and airheaded bitch is happier with some ugly piece of jewlery that will end up in the "drawer" with the other pieces. I honestly don't understand why he's there. Obviously, there's something wrong with him but he seems to know that it's not right and yet... he's not even getting laid 24/7 to make up for the shitty treatment, whining, acting like an undereducated third grader and graceless, tacky behaviour all-around.

I know small children would not pull faces like that because if you don't like what's on your plate, you can try it and then sit quietly and behave like a polite person. Not that there's any reason she couldn't eat that. Whatever the bitch eats and then pukes apparently must be served by someone in a paper hat. Gah.

I've never seen so much food and drink in my life. I'm bloated and hungover just from watching.

I for one am happy it's back. I love watching them. Am bummed Nick is being so negative about the dog...you're either a doglover or your not, you know? Yes, she's a small yappy dog, but that isn't Daisy's fault. Nick, Nick, I expected better from you. First time I think I have been disappointed in him.

He goes to all this trouble to set up this fantastic weekend with trips to the wine tasting and fantastic lunches and all she wants to do is order room service (I'm sure they NEVER get that!) and make out with the damn dog. I have a feeling Daisy has become quite the priority.

Those "camera right across the table and say something sweet while toasting anniversary/Valentines/etc" set up scenes are getting more and more forced and painful. ...I can't believe it's been two years...it's seemed like longer...I love you baby... Nick tries to tell her something sweet without the camera in the form of a hand-written card and she shits all over it. I give them 18 months.


Fantastic observation Ananayel! It’s Nick and Jess exactly.

I forgot this was going to be on last night, so I missed it. But I'll catch up eventually.

Even without having seen it though, I feel like I can say regarding this:

that Daisy is, in Nick's subconscious, a stand-in for Jessucka. Hey wanted a big "guy" dog, and Jessucka refused. So he made nice and got her the yap dog, when he didn't want one in the first place.* Now it's become the focus of the anger and resentment he can't really take out on Jessucka, since they're a) being filmed and b) their financial and business life is inextricably tied to her creepy interfering family. Also, instead of providing some measure of companionship for him, I would bet that the dog is one more thing, after her family, C'aighe-C'eagh, shopping, and pretty butterflies to distract her attention away from Nick, who seems to get precious little attention these days.

*Not that there is anything intrinsically wrong with these dogs, but they aren't everyone's cup of tea.

But...your dog SHOULD be a priority, you know? What's the point of having a dog if you spend no time with it, have other people take care of it for you, etc? It's a responsibility, and I didn't see it interfering with anything they did that weekend.

I doubt Nick went to much trouble setting things up. I love him, don't get me wrong, but that was a 30 minute commercial for Domaine Chandon and Beringer.

I hope Nick didn't get yelled at for buying the wrong carrier. I think Jessica has actually moved towards the brown LV because that's all she got for her birthday. And she had a large brown bag that she took to Napa. I think she goes for whatever is IN.
