Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have been dating for what seems like a celebrity eternity – about two years. Minnillo has long been reported to be nearly desperate to marry Lachey, especially since the pair moved in together last year. Accounts that she’s putting pressure on Lachey are heating up – but Nick is said not to be interested, at least for the time being. There are also a lot of stories floating around about Minnillo’s immature behavior, comparing her to a high school drama queen. Lachey has generally been portrayed as a pretty mature, sensible guy, and they seem mismatched in a lot of ways. From the National Enquirer, April 14th 2008 print edition:
Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo are on the verge of splitting. The couple has been trapped in a break up-to-make up cycle, and now Nick is fed up with Vanessa constantly pressuring him to marry and give her children. And he came unglued with the former MTV host accused him of still being in love with ex-wife Jessica Simpson, pals reveal.
Their problems were on public display March 25 at the trendy restaurant Katsuya when they “sat in stone silence for more than 30 minutes after having what appeared to be an argument,” according to an eyewitness. “As they left that night, Vanessa was in tears sitting next to Nick who was gripping the steering wheel of the car.”
Three nights earlier, at a birthday bash for basketball star Baron Davis at the Stone Rose Lounge. Vanessa “had a good bit to drink, and she turned into a bitchy high school drama queen,” said an eyewitness. “She was rude to some people and then flirted with a bunch of athletes, partying like a single girl. She was hanging all over other guys. Vanessa was rude to fans who wanted her autograph. She spent half the evening sneering at other female guests. From what I saw, it’s not wonder Nick is sick of her.”
The Enquirer goes on to talk about how desperate Minnillo is to “get a ring on her finger” and “have Nick’s babies.” I get really tired of the way they portray women as thinking about nothing but marriage and babies… but to be fair, that seems to be most of what you hear about in Minnillo’s case. Whatever career she had as an MTV VJ has totally died out, and her acting career hasn’t exactly taken off. The only thing she’s notable for anymore is dating Nick. Given all that, it makes sense that she’s pressuring him into marriage – what else has she got to focus on? According to the Enquirer, Nick is not giving in. He’s not in love with ex-wife Jessica Simpson anymore, but he’s still stung by their divorce, and remarriage is the last thing on his mind right now. Something tells me one of them will be giving the other an ultimatum pretty soon.
Coming from the Enquirer, I doubt it very much.... couples do fight but that does not mean they're splitting....
Wait and see, huh?

Is Jessica Simpson trying to win back her ex husband Nick Lachey? A report from OK! Magazine claims that the buxom blonde still has her ex on speed dial. In his first-ever sit-down interview with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo in OK's July 16 issue, Nick revealed that he is no longer in contact with Jessica and he believed that was best for both of them.
"It's good to move on," he told OK. "I think I've done that." But Jessica? Not so much. A well-placed source close to the Dukes of Hazzard star tells OK, "She's been calling Nick all the time – at one point he had to change his telephone number. She now can't contact him even if she wants to."
And that is exactly what she wants, especially after seeing the Nick and Vanessa hot tub photos that recently showed up on the Internet. But winning back the man she once called her "best friend" isn't going to be easy and is more complicated now that Nick has fallen in love with former MTV host Vanessa, 26.
Still, Jessica seems determined to try. A friend of Jess tells OK, "She wants to be the girl that Nick fell in love with again." Indeed, Jessica's body is back to the same size it was when she fell in love with the singer, and her hair has returned to the golden-blonde shade she sported when they were together.
Now, a source close to the Texas native tells OK that Jessica is trying to find just the perfect opportunity to bump into her ex-husband in Los Angeles. But stealing his heart back could prove difficult. As Nick told OK, "What Vanessa and I have is real. It's ours. Nobody can touch that." Including his ex-wife.
Stupid stupid tranny.... what? slept will everyone in Hollywood already? No surprise there. Daddy not giving you any love now?
Leave Nick and Vanessa alone and move on Tranny.

Singer Nick Lachey and live-in galpal Vanessa Minnillo moved fast when an old fella excited the elevator at their New York condo, clutched his chest- and collapsed at their feet! Barely able to speak, the man whispered he’d left his heart medication in his condo- so Nick grabbed his keys and took off as Vanessa dialed 911. Nick was back in a flash, fed the guy a pill and stayed until paramedics arrived. The man, a chronic angina sufferer, was hospitalized overnight and released. In an ironic twist, it turns out he’d actually lobbied against Nick and Vanessa moving in because he’d feared loud parties, etc.- but now raves about the couple, calling them “my heroes!”

Believe the rumors, yo!
Just got word from an MTV employee that TRL officially got the ax and will definitely not be renewed for another season. I still can’t believe it… TRL was a classic!
Enjoy the TRL countdown while you still can, kiddos.

Luckily Vanessa Minnillo has Nick Lachey's shoulder to cry on.... I wonder what she'll be doing next.....
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are planning to marry in April.
The former 'The Newlyweds' star - who divorced Jessica Simpson last year - has proposed to the MTV presenter and she is telling friends to keep April free. A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "They're moving forward with plans for an April wedding. Since they both love Baja in Mexico it will probably happen south of the border, where they first fell in love. "When he married Jessica, Nick had a big splashy Texas wedding with all the trimmings.
"It kicked off their highly rated MTV reality series 'Newlyweds' and began their life in a fishbowl. This time he wants something a lot simpler, so they decided on a low-key affair."
Nick, 33, announced his split from Jessica in late 2005 and began dating 26-year-old Vanessa last summer.
The source added: "Nick's known for a long time that Vanessa is the one. At first she held out. But in time she began to realise Nick was the key to her happiness and couldn't imagine like without him.
"Vanessa feel's she's got Nick just where she wants him. Jessica is finally out of the picture for good. And now the two of them are ready to begin making a new life together."

It's a slow news day..... what do you want????? We knew and reported this several months ago....
Nick Lachey has popped the question to gorgeous girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo - and the couple plan to marry this spring.
"They're moving forward with plans for an April wedding," a close friend told The ENQUIRER. The engagement comes slightly more than a year after Nick, 33, and Jessica Simpson announced their split. 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."

Good for them.... He needs to be with someone who can really love him and he did find her.... To top it all, she's 'beauty and brains' unlike the first one who was all 'tits'.
The singer - whose divorce from Jessica Simpson was finalised last year - has slammed rumours he is planning to propose to MTV presenter Vanessa.
Nick told Access Hollywood: "The four-letter word that starts with an 'r' - we are not dealing with that one yet." It was reported in December that Nick had phoned his ex-wife and told her he was marrying again.
The 33-year-old was said to have spent 40 minutes explaining his intentions to Jessica, who reportedly struggled to contain her emotions.
However, it now seems Nick and Vanessa - who were reported to be desperate to marry before the end of 2007 - have no plans to take the next big step in their relationship and are content to carry on as they are.
Nick said: "We are very happy. I have no complaints. We are not dealing with marriage yet." Since Nick and Jessica split, the 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress has been linked to singer John Mayer - and although they were seen together in New York over Christmas, Jessica continues to insist she is single.

Which one had the better New Year's Eve?
Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo
Just before midnight, the two - who've been dating for eight months - took their spot in the window facing down on the crowd and discussed the end of 2006 and the big bash going on below them for the MTV cameras. But off camera, things heated up between the lovebirds. Lachey whispered into Minnillo's ear and kissed her neck. The occasion appeared to overwhelm Minnillo, who responded by dabbing away joyful tears.
Jessica Simpson and John Mayer
John Mayer and Jessica Simpson rang in '07 "full-on making out" at the Hudson Hotel party thrown by Christina Aguilera. It was the first public acknowledgment of a relationship they have been denying since August. (The mystery source on that first story, by the way, was a deliveryman who saw Mayer in his boxer shorts at Simpson's home, and sold it to the tabs.)
"He was scratching her back, they were kissing, it wasn't subtle," says a spy at the Heineken-sponsored bash. The couple dined earlier in the evening at Country, after shopping at Barneys during the day.

Los Angeles (eCanadaNow) - Nick Lachey has called ex-wife Jessica Simpson to tell her he is getting married again.
The singer, who is planning to marry new girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, spent 40 minutes on the phone breaking the news to his ex-wife before she heard it through the grapevine.
According to the National Ledger website, Nick told Jessica: “I’m getting married again Jess and I wanted you to hear it from me.”
The former 98 Degrees singer is allegedly hoping to wed by the end of the year.
Despite being the first to file for divorce, Jessica is said to have reacted badly to the news.
A source said: “She knew Nick and Vanessa were serious, but this threw her. She did her best to contain her emotions.”
The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ actress has been linked to pop singer John Mayer since her divorce - which was finalised this year - but recently rubbished the rumours insisting she is single.

Life & Style reported that Lachey and Minnillo are considering eloping. “He’s pushing for a quickie wedding, and promising a big ring,” according to the mag. Minnillo is eager to wed Nick, but she’s not yet completely sold on the idea of eloping, according to L&S, which says she was set on a “fairy-tale wedding with hundreds of guests” but may have her mind changed by the lure of an eight-carat diamond ring.
Well good for Nick....and my sincerest hope that this will work you now. Just remember, no more reality show... well actually it doesn't matter since it does look like Minnillo has a good head on her shoulder..... Thank God he moved on already while the bimbo he was married to is still in limbo.
Me wants a Nick Lachey
