Jessica hires divorce attorney?
Jessica Simpson has reportedly hired a high-powered divorce attorney, Robert Kaufman (who represented Jennifer Aniston in her divorce from Brad Pitt), to handle her split with husband Nick Lachey - just three weeks after they announced their separation.
A friend of Jessica said, “Jennifer handled her divorce with Brad like a lady, in a non-sleazy way, and Jessica wants to do the same.”

I’m hoping this report is not true. The more I hear and see about Jessica and Nick’s seperation, the more I feel like boycotting anything she endorses. What happened to the Jessica so many of us adored? Has anyone else watched all of the Newlyweds seasons, plus interviews and such with Jessica over the past few years? If you have, you’ve got to admit that she has changed a lot, and not all of it has been for the better. I actually have a friend (NOT a friend of a friend thing…) who works in PR. She worked with Jessica and Nick last Christmas when they were at the Rockafeller center in New York City. She told me that Jesscia was very snobbish and was disapointed in how Jessica acted when they met. Apparently she and Nick were fighting and Nick was asked if he wanted to say a few things about Jessica during his segment on tv…he replied that there were not too many nice things to say about her at the moment because she was acting like a baby. Nevertheless he prepared a small speech but my friend thought he only did it to be nice. I come on this fansite a lot and I have commented a few times in the past….so for those of you who are regulars you know that I really want Jessica and Nick to stay together. I just don’t see it happening unless she has a makeover — of her heart and soul.

Angela,
We (true fans) did hear that exact story of last Christmas at Rockafeller Center. I agree with you, Jessica needs a makeover of her heart and soul and leave Big Daddy on another planet…….

sigh… i don’t want to judge jessica but the way she acts is pretty convincing that she has changed—- for the WORST! A true Christian wife will choose her marriage over fame, popularity and money. I kept denying the fact that the sweet innocent girl back then who didn’t even want to show her tummy is the same girl we are seeing now. Jess needs to have a change of heart really. No matter how high profiled her divorce lawyer will be, it will not change the fact that many people see her as the spoiled brat and immature ex wife of nick. Just like any other E! True Hollywood story, Jess its not yet too late to redeem yourself and most of all, your dying reputation.

mae,princy and angela… Shut up…leave the girl alone. Can’t you see shes unhappy. Let her go on with her life. Just know that and in 5 years you will still be buying her videos and movies. They will just be moved into the adult section of your local video store. Yeah I said it I agree she has changed and is becoming a WHO….I’m sorry delete the W. What is it with her. Does anyone see a similarity between her and Pam Anderson? Do you remember how sweet and inocent Pam was way back on Tool time? Now look at her…Now think about Jess in 5 years right back into that Adult section of the Video store. I am sorry “True Fans” but its going to happen.-

Kevin:
How right you are. I have the same opinion of Britney Spears….but I digress.
Seriously, Jessica was the latest product of the MTV machine. Remember the days when MTV showed videos and had interviews of rock stars? How about when it was a big deal that Michael Jackson was the only African American the channel would show?
Nick latched on at the right time and good for him. If the reports are true about the money Jess made in 2005, he will be a rich man. Its about time the husband came out on top….so to speak.
I have to admit I enjoyed watching the show. They seemed genuine and that they loved eachother. I live in Ohio and I can relate to Nick and his frugal ways. Jess came off as the dumb blond the ultimately loved her husband. If the rumors about her and Knoxville are true, and that they hooked up during the filming of Dukes, then the editing crew at MTV did one whale of a job. Now we know why they sold the house in the last episode.
Thank god she never got pregnant. The child’s life would be an absolute mess ala Britney Spears….but I digress.

i admired jesseca for not agreeing with britney and the whole christina a. hera but now jess is the last thing from a role model. plus what happened to her dad being a pastor and jessica christian? all i hear them doing is cussing,divorcing,sleezy i dont know what to think?
December 17th, 2005 at 5:36 am
I agree with Mae completely. I once respecte dhow Jessica was so Christian and wouldn’t show her tummy. I thought she was a breath of fresh air from the usual sexxed up singer. and thought the whole Nick romance was divine and sweet. But she has changed so much is sickning to me. Just because she owns a hot bod, cover it up. I’m sick of seeing her boobs. Sick of hearing about her blwoing 2 grand on sheets. or knowing she has 6 closets full of clothes. She’s truly lost the entire meaning of where she came from. It’s great she has this smile charity thing, but she should donate a paycheck a month to the causes as well. I pity the next guy she marries. I cannot imagine not picking up ones own towels or wanting to make sure her silver jewelry doesn’t clash with her gold. Or adoring one’s Vouittan bags more thanher hunky loving husband. I once envied her so bad it was nuts. but now, she makes sick. When I watch her sing, I feel like I’m watching porn. Leave the boobs alone while u sing. use hand gestures that are away from your body, no touching yourself. it’s all just too creepy to me. Cover up the chest, leave more to the imagination. and it’s OK to shop at Walmart for 30 dollar sheets and to have ONE closet of clothes! and it’;s ok to love on your husband even when cameras aren’t on. it’s even recommended!! and Nick, next marriage, leave strippers and porn stars ALONE. but maybe the next will show u anough attention u won’t Have to go that route. May your next wife appreciate u more,man.

In addition, Jessica needs to remove the bump on her nose she inherited from Dad, and feminie up the chin area, she has too much chin, which she also inherited from Dad. but we know she won’t change them cause she adores Daddy too much, overly too much. I pray one day soon, she covers up tho. I’m sick of her boobs everywhere. Enough is enough. They’re beautiful, but it’s just too much. One can be provocative and sexy without being so in our face in every single outfit. I hope she goes away in a yr. I never appreciated Mandy Moore more than now.

i think all you goys are just jealous. jessica is hot and pretty get over it and stop being overly religous saying she shows too much boob and ass, etc etc. anyways, im sure that if anybody had a hot body they wouldnt want to cover it up ALL the time. her mommy and daddy kept the whole christian thing in her and reinforced it to her when she was in her teens, they basically shoved this cult called “Christianity” down her throat, now that she is a big girl and can make her own decisions, she is pretty much rebelling against what her parents taught her. ANYWAYS, who is mandy moore? i think thats the girl who never “Sexed” up her look, thats how it is in hollywood, its all about SEX , fame, popularity, money, looks, SEX SEX , money and more SEX.

ameera, the “you are just jealous” line is poor reasoning, ad hominem - attacking the person, rather than their argument.
December 17th, 2005 at 4:51 pm
I am so dissapointed in Jessica. I think daddy joe set her up in the beginning and once the money started coming in, it good-bye nice girl nice family their real claws came out. Jessica is just where she wants to be. I too really loved their marriage and thought is would work. Nick was really in love with her as she was with herself….Maybe she will come around and see Nick as the great man/husband she had.

sorry kevin, i believe you can’t make people to just “shut up” about their “opinions” just as how we can’t make you “shut up” as well. After all, everybody needs “constructive critism” to become “better people” don’t you think? It would have been more disgraceful and pitiful if we already know something is wrong and still chooses to shut up. AGAIN, JUST MY OPINION.
December 18th, 2005 at 6:15 am
by the way, I agree with Gen. I like mandy moore better bec she does not allow “hollywood mentality” to get into her VALUES. And for “those” who does not know her, its basically because only people with REAL VALUES recognize her. If you don’t know her, then that only means you don’t have what it takes to see someone who is WORTH EMULATING. It takes a lot of CHARACTER not to get FAME, MONEY OR SEX into your brain and let it take over your whole personality. And sometimes, its better to STAND OUT from the rest really. I still still wish Jessica will be able to vindicate herself soon. That’ll shut us all up!

I think that Jessica’s BIG ego is to blame for all of this. This girl DOES not realize what she has and what she is about to lose. Nick loved her when she was a nobody a few years ago and when you was the one that was famous. Now she has a piece of 15 minutes of fame ( which by the way she recieved for acting like she was an idot.) She feels that she is better than him.. and that’s crap. I think Jessica has changed alot since she became more well known and I thnk she changed for the worse. I actually admired her before and now I feel like boycotting everything that her face and her name is on. I think she is a total FAKE! The only reason she is as big as she is now is because of Newlyweds and Nick obviously played a Bg part in that. It’s not like she became FAMOUS on her own. This girl needs to wise up!
December 21st, 2005 at 2:30 pm
Let’s put it this way, it’s so disappointing! I really thought that what we saw and what they portrayed was true. I too believe that fame and money got to her head and she realized hey…. I don’t need Nick to hold me down or take care of me. I feel that her innocence is now gone. Although Jessica made a lot of money this year, I believe this break up will be her down fall. She loses something now, i don’t know what it is like she falls in the realm of Brittney Spears as opposed to being a classy, family oriented, Christen Women that she once was. Ok we all know that we don’t know the whole truth behind thier spilt… but in my opinon you can’t fake the looks of admiration and love Nick would have for Jessica you could just tell he truly loves her and it’s a shame that it’s come to an end… so quickly. They were on Oprah protesting there love last Valentines day, things don’t turn that bad so fast… it doesn’t make sense. Oh well I guess I like many others have to get over it. It probably sounds silly that I’m harping on it to begin with but me like so many others was obessed with them, especially being newly married and in my 20’s too. Oh well. IT SUCKS! I’m depressed now. hahahahahah

I think that Jessica has changed a lot too, but that is evolution. Everyone goes through it. Also, the marriage is disentergrating because the two were at fault. It is both parties. I have been happily married for five years, since I was 18 and he 21, and it is hard. I can’t imagine what it would be like always having you’re personal life in the limelight. Nick was acting funny I thought during the Newlywed show. She has changed from an obeying simpering girl to an in you’re face woman. Sometimes that’s what you have to do to perserve you’re sanity. So say what you want about her religious affiliation, bare belly, and attitude. Just remember, what would you do if you married someone and then you both changed? Nick doesn’t work, he feeds from her. I just think her childishness and his distance is the root of it all. Just my opinion. It takes two to say, ‘I do’ and it takes two to mess it up.
