Nick Lachey is on the hunt for some ass

The National Enquirer claimed last week that Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are all but broken up. Vanessa's supposedly been "auditioning" guys to be her new boyfriend in anticipation of a split. Not one to be left out, Nick Lachey's getting in on the action, too. According to Star, Nick was acting "very single" at the Kentucky Derby earlier this month:

Nick and his brother, Drew, arrived at the Derby Spectacular at Glassworks on May 2 at 1:15 a.m. An eyewitness tells Star that Nick immediately zeroed in on curvy blonde Emily Gimmel, star of SOAPnet's new reality series, Southern Belles.

"She's a dead ringer for Jessica; I thought Nick's eyes were going to pop out of his head!" As Nick, 35, chatted with the 24-year-old stunner, "he was making it clear he was into her," the eyewitness adds. "Emily laughed, flipped her hair and flirted up a storm. She was obviously interested too."

After two hours huddled together, Nick and Emily exchanged numbers — and a huge hug. But that's not all the action Nick got. The night before, he kissed another young hottie at the club Prime!

Hasn't Nick learned his lesson by now? Over the years, I've found that if you really want to be happy in a relationship, you never date buxom blondes. You date brunettes red heads mutes. Hearing that Nick's moved on so quickly must be truly devastating for Vanessa. If only there were some 6'1" guy out there with abs of steel and shoulders that barely fit through doorways that was available . . .*
 
*Don't look at me. I'm 6'3"
