I can't believe that they didn't push the subject with the hot tub not working. I know I would and I'm not a reality show celebrity. That house they rented was so crappy too. Did you see those room decorations? Creeepy

I also found it amusing that it played like that was their New Year's Eve when we all saw the pictures of them partying in the gossip magazines.

Note to self: Don't post until the coffee kicks in.

I wouldn't be surprised if they (meaning MTV) got that house for free.

Most of the pictures online of them on New Year's Eve show them in the same outfits they had on at the dinner. PLus most of the parties went until early in the morning so maybe they went after dinner?

I love that you're getting a gay vibe from him, nique, because I picked up one of those crappy glossies in the grocery store the other day, and they had a two-page spread about how they think Jess is having an affair with her trainer (Mark? Mike?) because of body language analysis. They show one photo of the two of them walking through a parking lot KIND of close together, and assume they're doing it.

I still read the article because I'm a sad person. But I trust your gaydar better than I trust freaking In Touch magazine's body language analytics.

Was Jessica's hairdresser the one who said people in Africa speak "African?" Even Jessica looked a bit surprised by that one.

I'm on board with those who think that Jessica has an eating disorder. I understand that she's not used to eating rich food right now, but she didn't eat much of that mac 'n cheese, and then she sure started having "issues". And Nick sure didn't seem that excited to see her after she got off the plain...Yes, it could be editing, but I don't see alot of love going on in that relationship.

Wow. Nick's friend (the married guy who looks like Will Sasso) was a total asshole. He's the type of jerk who makes the cashier at Target cry because he had to wait 3 minutes. I know that they were pissed about the hot tub (I would be too) but his demeaner had MAJOR PRICK written all over it.

Anyone else notice that when we first see Cacee enter the rented house, that Nick tells her she gets the "special" room? I think he was referring to the room that was not made up. He is always egging her on isn't he? I was even more surprised to see her and Jessica hug like they hadn't seen each other in forever. Didn't Jessica even say she hadn't seen her a while? Isn't Cacee still her personal assistant? Did Cacee go on an extended vacation or something? Because I doubt that it had been all that long otherwise.

ETA:
I wonder at times how Cacee and her family feel about Cacee being a "personal assistant." I mean Cacee went to to college and her dad is one of the head honchos at a major record label. Cacee was working for that record company when she meet Jessica. Doesn't it fustrate them that they spent all that time and money in college, only for Cacee to be following Jessica around holding Jessica's coat? She didn't need college for that. I would think they'd want her to have a more ambitious career and be more independent instead of working for daddy and then Jessica. Oh well, to each their own.

No, no, I specifically wrote "mumbled something like", please no unfounded rumors due to a lack of a direct quote. If I didn't delete it from the Tivo I would have directly quoted, but I specifically recall the mention on shopping and beer and how it apparently affected bad decisions, hah. Since nick seems so particular, it does seem kind of funny that he bought the house-hangy lights for the tree...

Not to mention that she got caught lip-synching too, so she has no basis to bash Ashlee for it.

He just switched daughters. ;)

I thought that rental guy dude was a gigantic douchebag and he was just responding to that.

I did too. I was actually surprised none of them pushed more with the rental douchebag. He didn't seem the slightest bit interested in fixing any of the problems. I loved how he was suggesting that he couldn't fix the bedroom problem and the hot tub problem, that he had to triange them somehow. Dude, unless you personally are going to move the bed and get out your wrench to fix the hot tub, both can be worked on at once. I would have demanded a discount or something, especially since all the problems and the shitty behavior of the rental douche were all on tape.

WTF was up the rental guys ass? Did he not realize that he would look like an ass on tv? And who the hell does he think he is, when he says.."Its raining and you won't be going in there anyway". Is that in his hot tub handbook, along with the rule about the sun warming a hot tub?

I LOVED when Cacee said dirty people get athlete's foot, and Nick was like "Exactly!" I doubt she caught on to the fact that he was calling her dirty. I about spit my drink out of my nose..not like you guys needed to know that.

I'm also going to respectfully disagree with this. I think he was in the right, here, considering the way the rental guy was refusing to be helpful at all. The SUN can warm the hot tub? Please. Again, I would have been at least that angry, and possibly not nearly as nice...

Plus, I kinda like Nick's friend (Good ol' whatisname!). He reminds me of some of Mr. Hollers' friends. And he acts like a grown up, which this show could use more of. (Oh, and I laughed at the crack about his wife looking like she's on Valium, but I think she's just sorta distant because she doesn't care for Jess. But that's my opinion, of course...)

Oh, and it really DID look like Cacee had ringworm, which serves her right, especially with all the "DIRTY people get ringworm...not MEEEEE" crap.

She probably got ringworm from Jessica's dirty dog.

I was thinking the same thing. Whats up with the dog's hair? Didn't Jessucka make fun of a dog at her cleaners or something for looking old or dirty b/c it was a tannish, brown color...you know the same color of her beloved Daisy?
For someone who wanted a little dog, and is willing to spend hundreds of $ on doggie bags(excuse the pun), she shouldn't bat and eye at the minimal $ needed to be spent on grooming the damn thing!
The dog looks like an unwashed, nasty ass mop. I love dogs, but damn, you got money, USE it and take care of the dog or give it to someone who will. Her mom's dog is clean and well groomed. Jessucka is pretty much paying for her upkeep, seeing as her parents are her manager and stylist, so they are getting her money.

I totally agree w/ the above posters' assessment of Kentucky Derby friend. The first time I saw him it was like "wife beater" .He just has that overgrown frat boy who drinks too much and hasn't grown up all the way.

I think its ridiculous they take that flea bag wherever they go. And she is always kissing that thing, ewe! I agree, the dog looks dirty. But I also thinkg Cacee is dirty as well for different reasons.

I disagree with some, I actually like Nicks friends. They seem normal and down to earth.

Why does she do that ugly hairstyle that looks like a helmet? She looked ugly on New Years.

WORD! I was thinking if it was me there, I'd be a WHOLE LOT more bitchy about one less bedroom and no jacuzzi!! "The sun will warm it" What a fuckwit. I'd tell him I want to speak with the owner of the rental company and I'd remind him we are on camera and then I'd demand a big reduction per day, until the things were fixed, and/or I'd put a stop on my deposit if I still could, then I'd look for another broker for another house STAT!

I agree about the rental guy. He would have gotten an earful. I thought Friend of Nick was very nice about the whole thing.

So, Africans speak African? He's been hanging around Jessica too long. He sounds as stupid as she does. The sad thing is, you can tell he thinks it's cute.

ETA: My husband's a chef, so I was actually able to get him to watch 3 minutes of this episode. He usually runs screaming from the room.

Seriously . . . if I had rented anyone (let alone people bringing TV cameras with them) a house with a bathroom that dirty I'd be on the phone paying some guy triple overtime to fix the damn hot tub.

To be honest, I'm surprised that the Hot Tub Obsessed PTB at MTV weren't on that situation.

They probably got the rented house for free, which is why they didn't really bitch about the broken hot tub and messy 7th bedroom.

I enjoyed the "well, Africa is a country..." portion of the stupidity. Seriously, it's like watching chimps doing algebra watching those people play a board game that requires a fifth-grade education.

The funny thing about the "African" discussion is how unwittingly close he was to being correct. The language "Afrikaans" is spoken in several southern African nations, most notably South Africa, by millions of people. Of course, none of these idiots would ever know that. Public service announcement: kids, please stay in school. Oh, and read a newspaper every once in a while.

In this week's In Touch magazine, the author of an article about them stated that one of Nick's biggest complaint is that Daisy is "downright annoying." Therefore, Jessica "pawned off" Daisy on Cacee in order to give her some "alone time with Nick." I wonder if this is true. If it is, then Nick has only himself to blame for that problem. Afterall, he is the one that gave her the damn dog. He knew how things were going to be with Jessica taking care of it. However, if Cacee is with Jessica all the time and if Cacee takes Daisy everywhere too, then he will still be seeing the dog alot. Guess it wouldn't be as bad though. Hmmm...

That's the first thing I thought. Especially since they made a point of including the footage of Nick claiming Daisy was clean and well behaved or whatever along with the footage of Daisy's poop in the rental house. I'm thinking CaCee made the mistake of going barefoot on Jessica's nasty unmopped floors.

I looked up ringworm on the internet and it states that you can get it from an
infected person or pet. So it is possible she got it from that dirty looking dog.
IMHO I don't think she brushes her at all. She would be a cute dog if they actually took care of her the correct way and I love her name Daisy. I also started laughing when they brang the dog to Florida with them and Nick said she is a clean dog and then you see the poop on the floor. Oh and where was Mason? that is the son of Nick's friend. I think it was last season you saw him with all 4 of them when they were tanning outside at some spa somewhere. He was just adorable does anyone remember him?

I felt used after watching the New Year's episode. I thought this was supposed to be a "reality" show? So why stage the whole countdown to the New Year? Why not just say that you're leaving to go to some club in Miami and that the cameras aren't allowed because Jess wants to go on a coke binge while Nick feels up skeevy girls with fake boobs? Because that seems closer to reality.

The rent-a-chef was the best part of the whole episode. I've never seen anyone so excited to cook on camera before. "Ok, let's DO this!" Hee.

IIRC, in the episode where they have the dog trainer come over, didn't she ask Jessica this question? Jessica looked at her with a blank stare. Also, she answered no to never bathing poor Daisy. That is so disgusting. If they have a mobile dog groomer here in my city of 35, 00, surely there is one in her area also. Pay someone else to bathe her you lazy ass! Maybe your "assistant."

I think Lisa (Tony's wife) doesn't say much because she is probably aware of how they edit this show and do not want to come across as another brain dead idiot like Cacee.

I noticed a difference between Jessica's dog and her mother's dog. One looks groomed the other one does not. So I totally agree with the assessment that Daisy is not brushed.

There was major fakeness going on in this episode. If you noticed when they were lounging by the pool and looking at a pic on the sidekick/telephone/whatever you call it the date clearly said 1/1/2005.

Nick and Jessica were at the Vanity Fair post Oscar party last night and she looked horrific. IMO she was one of the worst dressed of the night.

I concur Nique...she looks aweful in red...it looked like a devil mistress Halloween costume

OT had the pleasure of meeting Tony once...you guys are all right on with that prick thing

If you see her face on some of those pics she looks pissed off. I just read on another board that the paps were asking her questions about her alleged coke habit.

Jessica definitely smokes crack. How else did she have a career, married Mr. Jessica Simpson, & killed all her brain cells?!!

intouchweekly.com

Why is In Touch Weekly boring us to death with Mr. & Mrs. Jessica Simpson every freakin wk?!! This magazine & others like it (excluding the National Enquirer & Globe) are full of shit.

God, she looked horrible last night!
PUT DOWN THE SELF TANNER AND BRONZER!!!

Topic: Gross that she never washed her dog.

Le Fug.

A poster on FT claims to have inside knowledge that the Johnny Knoxsville story is true. Supposedly Jess called her best friend (CaCee?) and blabbed it was the best she ever had. If so, how stupid is she to be letting this out when her entire career is based on her 'wonderful' 'happy' marraige?

I actually commend Nick for not making a stink about the hot tub. His friend was downright annoying. Seemed like every comment he made was something about the hot tub. What's the big fricking deal? Nick and Jess have their own hot tub, so I'm sure it's not that big a loss to go without one for a weekend. But maybe that hillbilly friend of theirs was looking forward to it, and thus his constant perseveration.


I was wondering about this also and was surprised that they would ring in the new year at home instead of in a club. Has it been proven that they were actually somewhere else at midnight?

Watching the previews, I now realize why they were all set on going to Miami for New Year's - Nick's obsession with the USC football team, which played in the Orange Bowl right after New Year's. Makes total sense now.

Maybe I'm just reliving my youth, but I find it charming that a celebrity like Jessica can still have fun playing a party game like Scattegories.

As others have mentioned, I would also be upset if the house I rented did not have everything fixed like it should have been, and was that dirty. But, the one thing I didn't like about Tony was when the rental guy was saying how they would have to prioritize which job would get done first, he said that they'd work on the bedroom, then fix the hot tub. But Tony thought that they should switch them because fixing the hot tub was a bigger priority than fixing the bedroom. I thought that was extremely rude of him. How would he like it if he was the last person to arrive to the house and found that he didn't have a bedroom to stay in because the hot tub was the bigger priority. But I guess it's too much to think that Nick and Jessica could have friends who are not as selfish as them. Birds of a feather....

My husband and I were saying the exact same thing. What was up with the hair!? It looked like she was wearing a racoon-skin hat.

I was flipping through US Magazine and there is a pic of Jessica with Daisy. Poor dog is still not brushed or bathed.

I tend not to believe those rumors, mostly from a logistics standpoint. I mean, how exactly did he manage to work around the poll that's already stuck up there?

The point is they (or someone) paid for the use of this hot tub. Along with 7 (clean) bedrooms which they didn't get. And that shady manager wasn't remotely interested in doing his job. Who are these people who do half assed work despite being on camera in front of a nation wide audience, as if there will be no repercussions ? I was thrilled to see Nick's friend drill him on the issue and prompt him to do his job.

"African is a country" and therefore much like Arabia, African is a language.

I don't know what's worse, the faulty information or the childlike theorizing that arises from it. These candid-moments-of-the-wealthy reality shows do nothing but prove it's not what you know (cause God knows none of them ever crack a book), it's who you know that's willing to pimp you out to Hollywood the fastest.

First, Ha!
Second, uughh (shivering)



Isn't Knoxville married as well? And I'm surprised that no one has pointed out the "best she's ever had" part of that story. She's supposedly only had Nick and does she ever fuck him anyway?



Chimps doing algebra. There's a show I'd like to see!

P.S. I love the coke habit stories! True or false, they are entertaining, hilarious, and probably making CPS crap his pants.

That chef was awesome. Although, I'm betting he caused quite a housecleaning mess - Daisy would be having diarrhea for about a week with all that steak. I was like "Dude, nooooo!"

Watching this episode again, and it just now occured to me that, along with Ashlee's "Evil Paparazzi" episode, there was much comentary on Jessica's show about how rude all the people with cameras were being. While they were BEING FOLLOWED BY PEOPLE WITH CAMERAS (from MTV). And spending money that was aquired because people, for whatever reason, pay to see Jessica's stupid ass.

Ugh. The day I feel bad for celebrities when they whine about the media is the day one of them gives back all the damn money they make BECAUSE of said media. Until then, they may all bite me.

Also, is it possible that the dog IS clean, and is just that color? Sure, it probably needs to be brushed, but do we really know it's dirty? It is a mixed breed (so it won't neccesarily be the "correct" color of either breed.) I dunno...I hate yippie dogs, but it's a shame to take out the Jess hate on a defenseless animal.

Since when are Jessica and Jamie Lynn Discala BFF?

I loooooooove the Creepy Pa Simpson editing of the show with Asslee's meltdown being, per usual, SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. The mix was wrong. The mic died. Her ear fell out. The echo was everywhere. She can't hear herself. She delay was so long. Thanks, Jessica, for explaining all that to me on her behalf. Why was acid reflux not mentioned? We all know Asslee suffers so... Also adore the sounds of the Simpson clan clapping after Asslee's performance and drowning out the INCREDIBLY LOUD booing afterwards. Even Nick tried to pretend like masses of football fans hate Asslee, but that is just not true: everyone hates her.

Jamie Lynn Discala looks completely bored and disgusted with the Jessica-experience every time the camera pans to her. Hilarious, I love it. Jessica making fun of Nick being into the game was lame - at least he wasn't in a really nice suite at a huge sporting event thinking of when he could next get his nails and hair done.


Edit: Knoxville is a well-known cheater. He is married and has at least one kid, but allegedly cheated on his wife with Kate Moss and Lindsay Lohan. How he attracts good-looking, famous women is beyond me, as he is neither really famous nor good-looking.

They've been friends for a while. Their friendship has been talked about alot in magazines and so forth. When I found out, it made me lose respect for J.D.


The whole Orange Bowl spin they tried to put on the show today?! So, so sad! Can't believe they even bothered to put that in there! So, the boos didn't even bother them one bit huh? Hmmm...

wtf Meadow?!?! , that's what I was thinking through half this episode. The only interesting thing was watching Nick in a wifebeater, the rest was just par for the course. I guess we can still say that this show is more entertaining that Asslee's but that's not really saying much is it?

LOVED the creative editing and I now understand where Asslee gets her "blame it on someone else" attitude. Was that whole explanation of the half-time show rehearsed, it just felt so unnatural. Especially JS's running commentary, it was like she was the designated narrator. Why does everything with this family seem artificial?

Because I've been home sick all day and, as it turns out, you CAN get tired of sleeping (who knew?!) I am taking notes on this newest episode. Because you care, or something.

Nick lost major points in my eyes for using foul laguage when speaking to the servers about Jess's dress. YES, he (they) should have been upset, but you should still be the better person. There's no reason to call people names... It would encourage me to just drop MORE crap on your mannish wife. (Really, that dinner already sucked - why didn't they just ask for a manager? Except I'm guessing from the look of the place that the dinner was an MTV set-up anyway, so maybe that's why.)

The scene on the boat? Almost made me go back to bed, it was so boring. And J's being her usual bitchy, self-centered..uh...self.

Jess looked embarrased about Nick yelling at the game. She's seen him do it at home, so what's the diff? Also, my father-in-law screams at the tv like that. When he's watching golf. All I'm saying is that some people get excited about sports.

God, mad props to all of Jessica's friends for trying to be cheerful about Asslee's "performance". Did the people in the box not hear the booing, or did CPS not show it? (I'm guessing the second)

Does Nick seem like more of an ass than usual? Or am I actually, finally, mercifully getting over this show?

Stupid Jessica. Heels are a GREAT idea when stunt driving, you moron.

ETA: Holy CRAP! That was Jamie Lynn Discala?! How did I miss that?

[small voice] Knoxville and Pontius are TOTALLY on my list of 5 celebs that I would be with, given the chance. Though my list isn't laminated ala Ross. [/small voice]


I kind of liked how supportive Nick was of Asslee's horrendous performance. I don't know what it is about him, but even when he comes across as an asshole, I still have WAY more respect for him than I do for Jessucka. He comes across as REAL.... an asshole, but real nonetheless. In fact he reminds me alot of a friend of mine; heart of gold, giving, caring, but with a hard, "good ole boy" edge.

I hate frickin' little yappy dogs. My Irish Wolfhound would eat Daisy in one bite, if he weren't so darned lazy. ;)

Nick is kind of an asshat though, it's becoming more clear with each episode that he hates the life he's living. When I saw that he was building a studio for his new album, I finally realized that what he has left with JS is really a business deal. I thought it was cute that he was supportive of Asslee, but the whole setup just seemed so staged. I guess it wasn't, but it just felt that way.
