but dog's mouths are gross plain and simple.

Daisy's mouth is probably cleaner than Jessica's.
skittishkitten
I just saw the preview for next week and I love how Nick is trying to train Daisy and Jessica keeps reassuring Daisy, "It's alright Daisy" and Nick is all, "No it's not!". Hee!

Right on, Nick.
juliaz3
Amen to that, DrCher.

During the meal in the restaurant in Napa, Jessica said, "AND is has Swiss chard in it. You know I hate Swiss!"

WHAAAAA?!

I can believe that someone from a basic middle-class American family would be as uncultured and unsophisticated as Jessica at the age of 25, because sometimes that's how people are. What stuns me is that Jessica doesn't care. She doesn't have the intelligence or the maturity to realize that her behavior is embarrassingly rude and childish or to be ashamed of how she acts. I wish she would use her millions to buy herself an education in manners and culture. I'm sure she goes through her day thinking that millions of American women are dying to be her when most of us are thinking what an idiot she actually is. And then there are her parents who aren't any better. They and Jessica and Ashlee have money but not one ounce of class.

Can't Nick gently talk to her about how childish (and actually, unprofessional) it was to make faces and act petulant about the meal? He was clearly aware of how awful she was acting. Even if Nick had hated it, he would have made a polite effort to eat something from each course and then apologize for having gotten too full on wine or something like that. In the old days the Hollywood studios had a system where their stars were taught proper behavior. Too bad the music industry hasn't groomed Jessica in a similar fashion. But everybody's way too busy making money and buying bling.

Then there was Jessica "reading" Nick's card. It was awesome to me that he wrote a long message to Jessica, and yet she had to ham it up about her inability to read his handwriting, even looking at some of the camera crew and laughing when she was trying to "decipher" the words. Poor Nick. I just don't understand why he wanted this TV nightmare to continue, except that, isn't he going to get his own show next, something like Ashlee's where we see the buildup to his next CD? Nick being the sole focus of a show (with maybe visits from Drew) = YES!

I can't remember where I saw it, but I do remember reading this somewhere. I'm so glad that he'll get a show of his own, because it'll give him something to do. I just hope that they don't have Jessica show up a bunch during it. She takes over camera time too much already.

I've been wanting to say this for a long time now, so here goes:

I enjoyed the first season of Newlyweds because it captured a lot of their relationship at home (where they couldn't get away from each other), and it was fun. Since then, all those "romantic" times together seem very staged. I bet even MTV wrote that card Jessica "couldn't" read at the restaurant. For a couple taking a nice trip to Napa, they didn't seem very excited about it.

Another thing: NO. MORE. TOASTS. No couple toasts each other that much!

One last thing: Who wore more make up - the dentist or Jessica?
ColdGreg
One last thing: Who wore more make up - the dentist or Jessica?

Ouch. That's a hard one. Both had their make-up guns set to whore. Or, more appropriately, fame whore.
Rainmaker
I had missed the beginning of the two year anniversary episode, so I just saw the rerun tonight.

As far as the card goes, Jessica acted as if she has never seen anything that Nick has written before. This is a couple that's been together for over five plus years? Surely she would have been used to his handwriting by now. Unless this is the first card he has ever written Jessica. I paused the Tivo and was trying to read what he wrote, but I couldn't make it out. Maybe somebody has a less grainy tv and could decipher everything...
Baylor
Just read somewhere in a magazine that Jessica was saying that she used to try to find confidence in diets. Dang! What doesn't Jessica find her confidence in?! Here's a list of things that give Jessica confidence. Does she need all of that to make her feel good about herself?

Her career and the recent success it's been having
Her relationship with God
Her relationship with her father
Marrying Nick
Having sex with Nick
Proactive
Working out
Dieting
Her 7 jeans

Anything else I forgot?!

That being said, if the Brad and Jen incident is really worrying them, wouldn't it be funny if Nick was in a movie with Angelina Jolie? Jessica would go bonkers!!! Maybe being around a real woman would snap Nick out of it and motivate him to leave Jessica. LOL! Yes, I'm evil, why do you ask?
Millis
Nick Lachey showed his pass-making skill at ESPN Magazine's party. Feeding rumors that the seconds are ticking away on his marriage to Jessica Simpson, the popster had his bodyguard run interference when Lachey saw a tall blond he liked.

"You want to meet Nick," the singer's emissary informed the pretty woman. "Because Nick certainly wants to meet you."

The security man brought the lady to Lachey and later gave her Lachey's cell phone number. "You call in 20 minutes and come over to the hotel," Lachey's handler whispered as Nick flashed a smile. (Rest easy, Jessica: The blond didn't go.)


From the NY Daily News, I choose to believe it's true.
ParadiseHo
I don't get how she needed a root canal...all her teeth looked capped to me, they were too white and perfect, Im confused


I think her teeth are far from perfect. Her front teeth stick out so much. I think she's one of those people that thinks as long as her teeth are bleached white they look great.
juliaz3
Unless this is the first card he has ever written Jessica.


Nope, he wrote her a nice message in, I think, a Valentine's Day card. And she played the same dumb "I can't read your writing!" game then. Poor Nick. This time she hammed it up even more for the cameras and the crew, convincing me more and more that she is utterly and completely selfish and immature. Unless all this is more or less scripted to make for "good TV" (conflict, etc.) then I finally give in and join the crowd saying this marriage in more than halfway down the shitter.

Would Nick really cheat on Jessica? Hell yeah. What man could go for (how many, counting the pre-nuptial?) years having sex withheld by the woman he loves/loved? She clearly plays games with him, is away from him a lot of the time, and has shown no interest in true intimacy. I don't condone infidelity, but Nick sure deserves some love.
jarja grl
I'm still watching the show, but I'm not proud of myself It's painful to watch them with the utter certainty in the pit of my stomach that we are watching the end days of their relationship. I've never been rich, famous, beautiful or particularly talented, but I've experienced the death of a marriage and the pain that accompanies it. It feels dirty, bad and wrong to watch it for entertainment. But I still do. Y'all may need to perform an intervention.
wwigbeee
Yeah this season feels dirtier than the previous 2. Their bickering or Nick's impatience was kind of funny. This season, it seems like he really really can't stand her.

Oh and in the previews when he's talking about the dog - he totally sounds like Napoleon Dynamite.
Jessica: "it's alright Daisy..."
Nickpoleon: "No it's not!"

I just want him to say "Friggin IDIOT!!" a few times.
singinkid
I liked Season One because it was funny to watch and I remembered Nick Lachey from 98 Degrees and thought that he was adorable.<hangs head in shame> But this show as it is now SUCKS! The show's so impressed with itself that nothing that Nick and Jessica do on camera seems real anymore.

I never did before, but I'm starting to feel very bad for Nick. It's clear that Jessica cares about as much about him as she does about the floor tiles in her bathroom. I think it's only a matter of time before this relationship goes the way of most celebrity couples. They just seem to be going through the motions without actually meaning anything they're saying or doing.

I wasn't going to watch this season, but I caught back-to-back reruns of this season and I sincerely hope it gets better for the sake of MTV. I predict that in a few weeks, this show won't even have a viewing audience. I don't understand why they felt that this show needed a third season... Oh well, I'll take Nick over Ashlee and her punk-rawkness anytime.

ETA: That display of classlessness at the restaurant in Napa was appalling to watch and I felt really bad for Nick for being stuck with such a tactless wife.
DrCher
Are there any screencaps of the writing inside the card? I'm really nosey and would like to know what Nick wrote.
Rainmaker
That display of classlessness at the restaurant in Napa was appalling to watch and I felt really bad for Nick for being stuck with such a tactless wife.

I kind of disagree. As easy it is to hate Jessica for her aloofness or stupidity, I can't find fault with how she acted in the restaurant. She did show a lack of appreciation for the chef's cooking, but I'd probably act the same way if I was given food to eat that I did not like. If the chef himself prepared a special meal for the two of them, shouldn't he have first perhaps contacted Nick to get suggestions on what to make? Why should he assume that everyone will like whatever he has the whim to cook up? Jessica to her credit at least tried to hide the fact that she didn't like the food by having Nick take it when nobody was there, and was gracious to the chef when he came out to shake their hand.

I find it hard to believe that Papa Simpson would choose to allow footage to air if it suggested that his daughter's marriage was in trouble. I think any publicity is good publicity, and if these glimpses into their seemingly troubled relationship fuels the fire, then it's all good as far as they're concerned. Haven't they always strongly stated that they are happy and all is well?

I couldn't disagree more. It appears that they got a free vacation, including a free very high-quality meal. If she's unwilling to try any food that they don't serve at Applebee's or TGFI's or whatever crappy restaurants she prefers, she should have declined. Most children refuse to try any new foods, but most adults grow out of that behavior. People go out to restaurants and dinner parties all the time without being consulted beforehand on what they might like. They try the unfamiliar foods, politely decline to eat those things they don't like, and do it discretely. And the nasty faces are an unacceptable way for any adult to behave, ever.

During the meal in the restaurant in Napa, Jessica said, "AND is has Swiss chard in it. You know I hate Swiss!"
Exactly. It's not that they served something she doesn't like; it's that she's won't even try new things. Chard is hardly exotic. I have food allergies, and there are certain things I just can't eat. It makes me feel so terrible to decline food that people have worked hard to prepare. But Jessica doesn't care about anyone's feelings but her own.

I can believe that someone from a basic middle-class American family would be as uncultured and unsophisticated as Jessica at the age of 25, because sometimes that's how people are. What stuns me is that Jessica doesn't care. She doesn't have the intelligence or the maturity to realize that her behavior is embarrassingly rude and childish or to be ashamed of how she acts. I wish she would use her millions to buy herself an education in manners and culture.
IMHO, very well said.

I never did before, but I'm starting to feel very bad for Nick. It's clear that Jessica cares about as much about him as she does about the floor tiles in her bathroom.
She treats him like she treats her clothing. She goes to the store with her mom, they ooh and aah over all the cute clothes, they buy everything in sight, they demand a discount, she takes her clothes home, she wears them once, and then she throws them on the floor of her $20,000 closet. Taking care of her clothes is just more trouble than someone like her can deal with. I don't feel sorry for him, though. He's a moron for marrying her.
Rainmaker
They try the unfamiliar foods, politely decline to eat those things they don't like, and do it discretely.

But Jessica DID do it discreetly. She didn't tell the waiter or the chef that she didn't like the food. She just secretly gave it to Nick once they walked away. I think she even made some comment to the chef about how everything was lovely. Jessica did look like a spoiled and uncultured brat, but I give her credit for at least not showing the restaurant staff that. The nasty faces that she made were only in front of her husband, whom she should feel free to share anything with. The only problem is that there was a camera on her the whole time, and now the entire country knows how she felt.
ColdGreg

That was the problem I had with it. No she didn't make the faces in front of them, but since it was being filmed for the whole world to see she might as well have.
juliaz3
Word, ColdGreg.

There's nothing discreet about making gagging faces while the cameras are rolling, knowing that when the show airs of course the restaurant is going to see the truth. At least the restaurant came out looking classy and Jessica like a fool. If Jessica wanted to handle the situation in a mature manner, she could have simply informed the manager that she was very sorry but could they possibly bring her a dish of vanilla ice cream, with no wafer?

DrCher, maybe you can find what Nick wrote on the card on Jessica's website? If you do, report back to us.

Rainmaker, I agree with you wholeheartedly on all of this. Before I started reading this forum, I really didn't think Jessica and Nick's relationship looked troubled on their show. I thought they looked like a regular couple...real couples can show their worst sides in front of one another and be okay with that. This is how Jessica and Nick are. Plus, we must consider the fact that this is a show meant to gain publicity, as you said. Why would this footage be aired if it showed the couple in a particularly bad light? The pained expressions from Nick and Jessica's silly antics seem like tactics to make some drama/comedy on the show. Now, maybe the problem is that the public is taking these things the wrong way, which is an entirely separate issue.
Hailey
The only problem is that there was a camera on her the whole time

See, I took it as, "I'm turning my nose up and gagging all cute" because the cameras are here. In the last 2 seasons, in an attempt to create the new Chicken of the Sea, Jessica has turned up the dumb/clueless/mispronounced dial to levels of painfully obvious staging. Examples include: What is a "double" in baseball? I call it "bowl-legged". How do you pronounce "pheasant"?

If she wants to make that her calling card, fine by me, I'll hate her, but fine by me. My problem is when she blatantly insults people as a result. 1) Her husband takes the time to write a card. Jessica's reaction: I can't read! Illiteracy is so cute! What's that word? Outcome: Nick is visibly hurt. 2) Fancy chef takes time to create lovely meal for visiting celebs. Jessica's reaction: Jess makes faces and gags! Isn't being picky adorable! It tastes like Pine-sol! Outcome: Insults said generous chef and restaurant on national tv.

Haven't they always strongly stated that they are happy and all is well?

Yes, and that's another reason I want their marriage to go down in a very public ball of flames. Not only have that strongly stated it, they've gone around slingin' advice how other people should do what they do. Jess has given some great [/sarcasm] advice in Cosmo about withholding sex, and the book deal just about threw me over the edge. Please stop toting your dysfunctional marriage around as some sort of role model relationship.

WORD.

Those cameras weren't hidden cameras, she knew they were there. There's nothing discreet about those exaggerated faces she was making. Nothing is "between her and her husband" while they have a camera crew on them.

I bet that half of that food tasted perfectly fine to her but once she started her "cutesy" nose-wrinkling act, she had to take it as far as she could go.

And nice of her to shit all over a free meal and royal treatment by that winery/restaurant. They bent over backwards to make a good impression so it would look nice on TV and instead of being happy that she was on the receiving end of that service, she made the restaurant look bad.

She really makes this show suck, I'd rather watch a half hour of Nick scaring trick or treaters and moving furniture than one minute of Jessica's "cuteness."
jennifuh

What? Seriously? [monkey]
uranushertz
In the last episode - at the nice vineyard, did y'all notice Nick's ugly-ass camo ball cap and baggy jeans strapped around his nutsack? I think he's turning into Kevin Federline!
Hailey
What? Seriously? [monkey]

I don't remember the exact details, but it was something to the effect of, "Q: How do you still keep things hot? A: In order to keep Nick wanting more, I sometimes tell him no to sex!"

ETA- I knew I'd find a link somewhere. How Jess keeps it hot!
Also, Jessica and Nick's book proposal


I think he's turning into Kevin Federline!

If he rocks the cornrows, I'm walking away and never looking back.
Selma04
That was the problem I had with it. No she didn't make the faces in front of them, but since it was being filmed for the whole world to see she might as well have.
Exactly. So unless the chef is Amish, he will see her reaction on television. It's like her parents taught her the very simple, basic manners that you teach a two-year old, but they went no further. And they forgot to teach her maturity and class.

On the positive side, it's possible that her behavior will make it less likely that she gets this type of free vacation in the future. I can't imagine that that vineyard was happy with the outcome.
Ashley02
I don't care that Jessica did it discreetly with only Nick around. It's not discreetly when there is a camera crew on you and you know that it's going to air. The fact that she has not concern for a staff and chief who went to all that trouble to help prepare meals for her and all she could do was make faces and say that she didn't like anything just shows how inmature she is. It's one thing if it was just her and Nick around but it's not when there is a camera crew around. There is no excuse for that behaviour at all. The thing is, Jessica probably now doesn't care how she makes that chief feels when he is watching it. All she will be doing is laughing to herself and think that she looks so cute and so adorable making all those little faces. Even when she says to Nick, I feel bad. That is her answer to everything, as if that will make things OK.
juliaz3
she made the restaurant look bad


Nope, she only made herself look bad.
Rainmaker
Jessica's reaction and apparent obliviousness of the camera being there is similar to just about every single one of these reality tv personas. I think after a while, they "forget" it is there, even if there is a production crew surrounding them the whole time. I find it hard to believe it happens, but apparently it does. For some reason, reality people don't think what the consequences of what they say or do will be when everything is shown to America on tv. It's the same reason why we have people go all Omarosa, people like Jen C make derogatory comments towards all Jewish people, and so forth.
cherry
Believe me, no one could abhor the Simpson machine and its significance in our pop culture more than me....

However, I sort of think I might have behaved in a similar way at the restaurant. If I forgot the cameras were on me (which, to their credit, they seem to). I have a really provincial palette. If it's not wrapped in a plastic wrapper with the word "Hostess" on it, I aint interested. And I have, what an old friend called a "blunt naivete." A lack of a filter between what I feel and what I show. As much trouble as it brings, I hope I never lose it.

Still, I know that I'd make a personal visit to the restaurant, with roses in hand, to explain how my palette could not be turned by the world's greatest chef, and how I wouldn't know good food if it bit me in the ass, and how my husband still raves about the meal.......

I recently found myself as a small dinner party and the two other women in attendance started a conversation: Which Simpson was the better singer? And yeah Jessica sucks but isn't Nick dreamy??

And I had to go off on this harangue about how both are like bad karaoke, and Nick willingly married that thing, and continues to give his love to her, and even cried at the altar while yoking his life with hers. And "show me what you love," the saying goes, "and I'll tell you what you are." So Nick sucks as much as she does!

And my date later informed me that I was a little "impassioned" and it was certainly a social faux pas (on my part) that I basically shut these girls up and implied that they were idiots (not my intention!!!) But that's what I mean by lack of filter between thoughts and mouth.
katms
I can't imagine that that vineyard was happy with the outcome.
I bet they're ok with it. Free publicity of their beautiful facilities and great treatment of their guests -- the way that Jessica whines about things doesn't mean that everything wasn't great...just that she's a child. I don't think anyone came away from that episode thinking Jess was actually served pine-sol ice cream, right? At least I hope not.
skittishkitten
See, I took it as, "I'm turning my nose up and gagging all cute" because the cameras are here.


So did I. When Nick was all, "You don't like the pear?" She did this little blink-weird-cringe-face thingy and said all baby-like, "No." Who does that in a normal situation? No one, that's who. She was definitely playing it up for the cameras. Gaaah. Hate!
lizzyb831

In some rag mag, they actually make the comparison! Something about Jessica trying not to be like Brit, but still is.
digigirl
After rewatching the last episode, I was wondering, Does anyone else think that the whole tooth debacle was a ad for Dr. Dorfman?? My mom had a root canal a week ago, and her face swelled up from the shots, and was unable to eat solid foods for a couple of days after. She didnt seem to be in all that much pain at all either.

Also, from the Napa episode, when they were in the SUV and all drunk, and Jessica was laying on Nick's lap she said something but it didnt match with the way her lips moved, like a bad Kung Fu movie, did anyone else notice this?
singinkid
I've had like three root canal therapies in my life and none of them have hurt at all. By the time they started working on my teeth, I was so numb from the lydocaine that I couldn't feel anything. I'm not sure what kind of gas they were using to anaesthetize her, but I guess it was working in place of lydocaine/novocaine. I don't really know how it would work, but with my root canals, I could eat pretty much once the anaestethics wore off. So, your mom might have had a severe reaction to the therapy or the drugs or a combination of them because in my experience, I've never had that much discomfort.

I don't think that the root canal thing was a set up. People don't go through that much trouble for a publicity stunt, IMHO. Perhaps the tooth thing started out as a free ad for the dentist, but I'm sure once he realized how bad her teeth looked, that was legitimate. YMMV of course, just wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.
OneLastRefrain
I fell asleep during my root canal. Seriously.

So no one knows who that Cassidy child was at Jess/Nick's house?

Simp's gotta big head....

Also, re: the 'pine-sol' ice cream- like I'm supposed to believe that lazyass even *knows* what cleaning products smell like. Puh-leeze!
Miss Montana
I'm not a huge fan of Jessica's, but if Nick said this during a Super Bowl party interview, well, ouch...Personally, I think the girl is too thin these days, which may be one of the reasons she acted like an immature twit at the Napa restaurant. She's dieting too much for that "Dukes of Hazard" movie.

Nick Calls Jessica "Fat" During Radio Interview

One charming comment he's said to have made:

Asked by Maxim Radio about Simpson's pet, Lachey comments, "She's spoiled and fat.

"That's right, spoiled and fat ... just like its mom."

Granted, they're quoting Page Six of the New York Daily News, but still...

And the rumors of cheating...I wonder if the divorce proceedings will be televised on the last season of "Newlyweds?"
MetsMer31
This episode is ridiculous-- poor Nick. Then again, stupid, stupid Nick for getting someone who can't be bothered to care for her teeth, a dog.
Those dog trainers were bullshit. I noticed the one in the background watching with what looked like thinly veiled disgust. I couldn't believe the dog trainer deemed Jessucka as the one with more patience. Maybe because Nick's been the one cleaning up the shit all the time, that's why his patience is thin.
That dog, after 6 months has never been bathed? That's revolting. Beyond revolting, I mean it only took one look at the dog in the season's first episode for me shriek "that mutt needs a bath!" but come on.
The dog trainer's method seems off to me. I don't think it's old school to put your puppy's face in their "accident". Hell, when my (now deceased) dog begged at the table one too many times, my dad grabbed her by her scruff and pinned her against the refridgerator. And this same dog loved my dad so much in her later years that she helped save his life by howling endlessly at his feet when he had a heart attack. Tough love works with puppies.
Nick needs to get away. Daisy (sadly my dog's name) is nothing but another accessory for Jessica that she mistreats by not bathing, grooming and training her properly. Daisy was an excuse for Jessica to get a revolting Louis Vuitton Dog carrier. Which is appropriate since she can't be bothered to train the dog to behave on a leash or wear a collar.
Marigold66
Did anyone else find Nick's spot on imitation of Jessica's Valley girl speak when they were talking about movies hilarious? I thought that was the highlight of the episode. "Oh my God, totally, let's watch it."
His contempt for Jessica is so palpable I can feel it through my TV. Is it solely the money that's making him stay in this? Have some integrity, Nick. Get out while you still can!

Dogs are loyal. They even love the people who hurt them. Still, that doesn't mean it's the right way to train a puppy. There are far more effective ways to train that don't involve making your pet fear you.

Rare credit to Nick & Jessica for realizing the benefits of having a dog trainer come in. Training a dog really means training the owners to be consistent. Based on the one visit, they have a lot of work to do. My only issues with the trainers was the food snobbery. I hate that crap about holistic diets. Daisy's food was $30/bag Science Diet. Good enough, IMHO.

If the dog had never been bathed, why was Jessica shown commenting that the Daisy looked cute with her hair all blown out? I took that to mean she'd just come from the groomers. But, those type of dogs always look ratty and unclean to me. I think it's just the way their hair mats.

Another episode without Jessica's mom & dad (only their dog appeared). It really seems like they're trying to stay out the way this year. Or else they're too busy with Ashlee...
JDub1
"Oh my God, totally, let's watch it."

I cracked up over that. I don't think that was thinly veiled contempt---I think most couples make fun of each other like that.

I'm waiting for people here who know about dog trainers to weigh in. I didn't like those chicks they brought in. I know squat about training dogs, but I did teach my dog growing up to hug and to kiss me without licking my face. I also taught my mom's dog how to speak. I would never use lame ass baby talk or a little nice-y voice. A firm voice always worked for me. I really think that Nick just didn't like the trainers---it looked like they were getting on his nerves.

I like Jessica despite myself, but it drove me nuts when she insisted Daisy knows what LV is. "Yes she does! She jumps into my LV suitcase!" From my experience, dogs are wise to the whole suitcase deal. The dog I had growing up would get pretty upset when she saw those suitcases come downstairs, and she'd turn away when we try to say goodbye(you can imagine how upsetting it was to say goodbye when I moved out---she actually passed away a few months after I left.*frown*) Anywho, I'm sure the dog in her suitcase was excitement over momma coming home or awareness that mom was leaving.

Was that Maggie staying over? Wonder if she stay with Nick and Jessica while Mrs. Simpson is off with Ashlee.

And this is just a guess here, but I'm assuming they showed her feeding Daisy the chicken before that scene with Nick talking about Daisy being sick and having diarrhea on purpose. Like Jessica's giving Daisy people food was what was causing the tummy problems.

Nick had me cracking up throughout the episode. He seemed so exasperated, it was hilarious. Sit Daisy, sit. Sit. Sit down. Come on girl, Sit! Daisy? Sit! He really brought on the comedy!

Normally just a lurker, but I wanted to weigh in on the "old school" dog training method. When our dog was a puppy (this was just a year ago), we were also told not to hold them in front of their accident and scold them. The reason being that if you scold a puppy in front of a pile of crap, all he'll know is that you don't like the pile of crap. He doesn't process that him crapping is what really made you mad- he thinks you're mad at the crap itself. So, as with Daisy, when dogs run and hide and tuck their tails after an accident, they know that you've seen the crap and are mad. They don't realize that you're mad about their action- and with most dogs I've seen, they'll tuck their tail when they know you've seen it, and not immediately after crapping, which shows they're not upset about crapping, they're upset about you seeing the crap. Now, if you catch the dog in the act, THEN you can scream and yell; otherwise, puppies aren't smart enough to a. remember what they did and b. realize that crapping produces that pile of crap. A rule I was always told was that if you don't catch your puppy in the act, you can't punish him for the act (well, you can, but it's pointless).

Anyway, I also noticed that Jessica mentioned Daisy being blown out- I think the dog trainers were asking if Jessica had given Daisy a bath, not if she'd had one ever. She was asking all about nails, teeth, etc so I figured she was going through what she'd need to teach them to do for Daisy. So I think Daisy must have had a bath if she had been at the groomer, it's just that Jessica has never done it (like Jessica would get off her butt and do it if she could pay someone to do it for her!)

Ditto to the "Oh my God, totally, let's watch it". Nick cracked me up- I had to rewind on my TiVo a couple times.

Another episode without Jessica's mom & dad (only their dog appeared). It really seems like they're trying to stay out the way this year. Or else they're too busy with Ashlee...
From what I can tell, MaSimp has re-attached her umbilical cord to Ashlee, and PaSimp is attached at the hip to their other project, Ryan. Ryan got some kiddy gig in DC during the inaugural ceremonies, and PaSimp was here trying to rub shoulders with the Republican bigwigs. We know how these people love to name drop. Lucky for Nick; they get a break from the parents from hell.

Does anybody know how much a large LV dog carrier, plus collar, plus leash would run? And I'm sure some people may disagree with me, but IMHO LV is so very, very ugly, and about nothing other than demonstrating how much money you wasted.

And this is just a guess here, but I'm assuming they showed her feeding Daisy the chicken before that scene with Nick talking about Daisy being sick and having diarrhea on purpose.
Wasn't she giving her pizza at one point?

How about the piece of chicken cartilage, or something, that Jessica even said, "I probably shouldn't give you this", and then promptly fed it to her anyway. Gah, I hate that woman.

Jessica pouts because Nick doesn't necessarily want to see the movie she had picked out for them, even though she just shot down the movie he wanted to see and somehow, he managed to not pout about it. I guess all they are allowed to see at the theater are romantic comedies or romantic dramas.

I know the whole dog training thing was probably beneficial, but the condescending way that the trainers speak to the humans has always gotten on my nerves. In Jessica's case, the condescension was justified, but I'm sure that's the same way she acts in every client's home. "Nick, can you tell me what the difference is between this toy and that toy? No? Jessica, how about you. Can you tell me the difference between this toy and that toy?" They aren't five years old...a simple, "This kind of toy is better for your dog because ________" would have sufficed.

Just wanted to add if anyone is interested. Ma and Pa Simpson are going to be on Larry King tonight (10th February).

Nick Lachey, your nose, among other things apparently, is getting longer.

We hear Jessica Simpson's hubby denied bussing and giving his cell-phone number to a gorgeous blond and brunette at the ESPN magazine Super Bowl party in Jacksonville on Friday. Sorry, Nick - you picked the wrong girls to flirt with. The brunette was none other than our own Jo Piazza, the blond is her best friend, and we've got your cell-phone number, buddy. You wouldn't want us to print it to prove it, now, would you?


From NY Daily News. Lord, I really, really hope this is true.

I've been lurking around the site for a few days now reading all about your comments on Jessica and Nick and I'm happy to see that on both sides of the Atlantic (I live in Dublin, Ireland) we hold the same views of this bimbo. I am also shamefaced too though as I admit like others here I ahve been sucked into the vortex that is this car crash of a show. The latest season kicks off for us on the 16th of Feb so we are not quite up to speed as of yet. Although with this girl is there any need to get up to speed. She is Barbie in the flesh. I am amazed at the lack of proper parenting she (and her sister to be fair) seems to have received and at how bloody stupid she is. I cannot understand why she is proud rather than embarrassed at being so helpless in every way. I am equally amazed that she got anyone to marry her. Yes she is pretty in a very obvious and rather boring way but there are other women out there that are way more attractive and more capable and intelligent women out there!! Nick comes across as a nice enough rather normal person I cannot see why he picked her. And then to add insult to injury he buys her a dog. They need looking after, time and attention is demanded by them and for something other than picking their nail polish out for them. Who in their right mind paints their dogs nails anyway?
