The National Enquirer reports that Jessica Simpson went to a storage facility with her husband Nick Lachey and found the 98 Degrees singer’s hidden porn collection. Though Simpson says she’s not a prude, she did want him to get rid of the collection because it was so big. Nick agreed to get rid of most of it but picked out a few of his favorites and gave away the rest to friends. Source
Posted by Rachel at 4/13/2005 | Comments (4)Nick Lachey is becoming increasingly frustrated with false reports about the demise of his relationship with his wife Jessica Simpson:
“It’s more frustrating than anything else. You have friends and family reading (the tabloid stories), wondering, ‘Is this true?’ I think we were just shocked by how long these fabricated stories continue to stay out there. No matter what you do, people just spin it and misinterpret it. You’d be called defensive if you answer it, but if you don’t, there must be something wrong ’cause you’re not answering. You can’t win. You just gotta learn to ignore it and know it’ll pass. Like anything else, it’ll come full circle, and they’ll be loving you by then. If people have the desire to talk trash about you, at least they’re interested in what you’re doing.”

Posted by Rachel at | Comments OffBoys will be boys, and, well, girls will be girls, even if they’re married adults. Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson proved that point during the week of Feb. 28, when rabid basketball fan Nick was seen thoroughly enjoying an L.A. Lakers game and wife Jessica shopped up a storm with her best buddy.
On March 4, Nick took in a Lakers vs. Mavericks matchup in L.A. with two pals and was seen on the sidelines smiling broadly as the miniskirted Lakers cheerleaders danced and whooped it up in front of him. (The Lakers won 108-103.) According to an eyewitness, earlier that week Jessica did some wriggling of her own as she charmed her way out of a speeding ticket near the couple’s Calabasas, Calif., home. “The cop said that Jessica had been speeding in a 35 mph zone,” says a source of the March 2 incident. “He didn’t give her a ticket, though. She obviously charmed him.” Later in the day, Jessica wasn’t so lucky. After meeting up with best friend CaCee Cobb for a shopping spree in L.A., Jessica returned to her green Range Rover to find a parking ticket left as a present! Source

Posted by Rachel at 4/2/2005 | Comments (7)Jessica,
I decided to type the letter this time because you seem to have a little trouble with my handwriting. Let me start by saying how in love with you I am. Even after two years of marriage, every day just seems a little bit better than the one before. Well, most days I can’t believe how we’ve grown together as a couple and as individuals. I know in my heart that if we keep each other first at all times, in spite of all the destructions and stress in our lives, we will win.
There will always be challenges, struggles, fights, peace, and even anger to go along with the joy, success, contentment and satisfaction of being a great couple. I am so proud of the fact that we have made it through two of the most stressful years of our lives together. I’ll always have your back and I know you’ll always have mine.
I look forward to the great things that I know we will achieve in the years to come. I look forward to growing old and grey with you. I look forward to watching our kids grow up and become great people. I look forward to spoiling our grandkids and watching them grow up. I look forward to enjoying the journey with you. All the things you achieve in life are made that much sweeter when you are able to share them with the love of your lives.
I know I’m not a perfect man nor even close. But I hope you know that I’m trying to be the best man I can be for you and our family, the most important thing in my life. Because you are the important thing in my life. I love you with all that I am, every breath that I take. Happy Valentine’s day.
Nick”
Thanks Timi from SweetKisses.net for typing this up!

Dr. Houran considered a set of variables to determine the leading cause of celebrity break-ups and found that three key factors prove most destructive to celebrity relationships. In order of their impact/importance:
Based on the three characteristics above, Houran implemented a three-strike policy for each relationship to assess their potential success rate. Listed below are the eight couples he tested in order of least to most likely to make it long term (three strikes and you’re out!):

Posted by Rachel at | Comments OffSay goodbye to “The Newlyweds.” The MTV reality show airs its last episode at 10 tonight after three seasons that revived the career of former boy band member and Cincinnatian Nick Lachey, and helped make the career of his wife, Jessica Simpson.
If one believes the tabloids these days, the show and marriage are really over, but that is a real reality story still to play out.
All we know is, last June Simpson told The Post the couple had agreed to do one last MTV season and seemed content that the public aspect of their life be over, having served its marketing purposes.
“That’s it. After that, no more cameras,” she said at the time.
The MTV show has followed the couple through 30 episodes documenting the first 2½ years of their marriage.
This season, the two acted more like a settled married couple, moving on with their lives together and separately. We saw them romantically touring Napa Valley wine country, Jessica starting a movie career in “Dukes of Hazzard,” and Nick getting back to recording.
There was the Christmas in New York with Nick’s Cincinnati family and a recent cute episode about limiting what they spend on Valentines Day.
Nick proposed $10, Jessica argued she is worth $20. Nick came in at $16, Jessica barely held herself to $90.
And there was the lost boys wild weekend in Cabo where Nick and his friends manage to trash a Baja car with a minor $10,000 in damages. But we also saw Nick and Jessica pine for each other as their work schedules kept them apart
It short, it was a cozy fun season befitting an “old married couple” and didn’t make for especially great TV. There were few Jessica-isms like the infamous “chicken or tuna” remark. Simpson’s impulses were probably right: The show needs to end.
Of course, through it all, we never really know what is reality - the cuddly TV show documenting the couple’s comings and goings or the recent tabloid headlines suggesting a divorce is imminent.
Viewers will next see Nick trying to revive his music career in what’s tentatively being called “The Nick Lachey Project,” a new reality series tracking his recording and marketing a new album.
MTV has not yet announced an air date for the project, possibly debuting in June.
