Photo agency X17 certainly thinks he is. From their site:
Just who was the girl we spotted Nick Lachey with last night? After we spotted Nick leaving Sideways, we caught up with him at Teddy's with an unknown girl - and we do mean caught, as you can tell by our photos of the pair kissing in Nick's car and our video of them linking arms and walking into the club! But the topper? We stayed with him after he left Teddy's all the way to the Intercontinental Hotel - and saw him picking up Vanessa Minnillo! (Source)
Wow, ballsy move by Lachey. Not as ballsy as that time I went trick-or-treating in Harlem as a sexy Klan member, but ballsy nonetheless. Sure the internal bruises healed after a few months but the memories, they'll last a lifetime!
According to the National Enquirer, Nick Lachey, 33, popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo, 26, and the two are set to marry this spring. The couple began dating about six months after Lachey announced he was getting a divorce from Jessica Simpson in late 2005:
"They're moving forward with plans for an April wedding," a close friend told The Enquirer. Now Nick and Vanessa are mulling destinations for their wedding and honeymoon, disclosed a friend. "Since they both love Baja, Mexico, it will probably happen south of the border, where they first fell in love."
Why is Nick Lachey so eager to get married? He should be plowing through Hollywood one vagina at a time. He has about as close to a magic penis as you can get. And don’t give me this bullshit about how he should start settling down because he’s 33. Forgetting the name of the girl you’re banging in the alley outside the club never gets old. NEVER.
On his recent visit with David Letterman, Nick Lachey said he wished he'd never done the "Newlyweds" reality show because it was a factor in his split with Jessica Simpson. That aside, MTV hopes to lure Lachey and Simpson back to the network to host a new show called..."Ex's!"
The premise: Celeb couples who've split expose their ongoing battles - or happy divorce. MTV sweetened the pot by offering Nick and Jessica part-ownership in the show, and they're mulling…so stay tuned for more of Ms. Ditz's "Chicken of the Sea" giggles.
I think Nick's forgetting that The Newlyweds pretty much made him a star. Just once I want a celebrity to embrace and celebrate their past. For example, I'd love to see Jay Leno deliver his nightly monologue with drugs and worn-out hookers strewn about the Tonight Show set (Leno's past is one of Hollywood's better-kept secrets*). And don't even get me started on Clay Aiken completely shunning his womanizing past. C'mon people, Clay Aiken has to be a Hollywood creation. No one is THAT gay.
*totally not true
Vanessa Minnillo met Nick Lachey's parents over Labor Day weekend:
For the Labor Day weekend, Nick, 33, took his gorgeous lady love home to his native Cincinnati, Ohio, to meet his folks. Vanessa, 25, looked stunning in a black-and-white striped bikini as she and Nick, in white surfer shorts and sipping a beer, relaxed with the Lachey clan on Sunday, Sept. 3, aboard his dad John's cabin cruiser on the Ohio River. Nick's brother Drew, 30, and his wife Lea were among the revelers on board.
What's with the guy and the camcorder? Doesn't that douchebag realize there's a bikini-clad Vanessa Minnillo right behind him? Let's just say if that was me in the picture, you wouldn't see my right hand. And I'd probably be wearing one of those helmets that hold cans of beer on the side.
