Nick Lachey has settled comfortably into married life and he has the love handles to show for it. Just weeks after marrying Vanessa Minnillo, Nick confided to a friend that he’s gone up a pant size. A friend observed “Nick started eating at their wedding reception and he hasn’t stopped yet. He’s happy with Vanessa and suddenly isn’t so motivated to go to the gym.”
Vanessa Minnillo has been showing off an impressive pair of $40,000 diamond stud earrings that boyfriend Nick Lachey gave her. The backstory is that the earrings were sort of a “shut up” present. They were NOT the gift Vanessa wanted. She has been hoping for a diamond RING – an engagement ring, to be exact. Nick doesn’t consider himself ready for that commitment just yet, so he presented her with the earrings to buy himself some time.
Nick Lachey’s honey Vanessa Minnillo has NOT been happy with the way her hair has been looking lately and she’s been admiring Jennifer Lopez’s tresses. Vanessa would LOVE to go to Jennifer ‘s hair stylist but HE happens to be Ken Paves. Here’s where it gets complicated. He’s the stylist that Jessica Simpson put on the map. Ken knows Vanessa would like to become a client and that’s fine with him, but his first loyalty is always to Jessica and he doesn’t want to upset her. It’s an awkward situation because Ken hates to say no, but what choice does he have? Will Vanessa ever get her wish?
Entertainment Tonight producers were thrilled beyond words when host Vanessa Minnillo started dating Jessica Simpson’s exhusband Nick Lachey. The couple’s photos were plastered all over magazines and papers and it was great publicity for the show. Vanessa became a hot commodity in the celebrity world. Proximity to Nick gave her career a giant boost , just like he did for Kristin Cavallari. But there’s a downside, too. Word has leaked out that Jessica will no longer be cooperating with ET – doing interviews or whatever. Her scoops will go elsewhere.
