Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey officially split

simpson_lachey_split.jpgSo one second after I say there won’t be any posts until Monday, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey officially announce that they’re separating.

“After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” Simpson and Lachey said in an official statement. “This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”

Leave it to these two clowns to ruin my perfectly lovely Thanksgiving weekend. I had all sorts of plans involving cooked turkeys and buckets of gravy, and now I have to put them on hold because Nick and Jessica got sick of pretending they’re still together. If there’s any justice in the world, Jessica will confuse Nick for a giant turkey and eat him alive for Thanksgiving. Sure it doesn’t make any sense, but reading about Nick Lachey being eaten alive by a hungry and confused Jessica Simpson would make my ruined vacation all worth it.

    I have to say I was not shocked to hear the news like most of you, but I agree that it is sad. In all reality none of us “know” Jessica or Nick. Who knows why they split. It could be a number of things, but what I do know is that YES when you get married you make a vow to God and to everyone in that room. For better or WORSE! I don’t know why celebs don’t understand that getting married is no joke to us real life people. Being a 23 year old married woman for 5 years and having 2 toddlers, I find it amazing that us Average Joe’s are somehow able to stay married! Us normal folk understand that life isnt about fame and money. I give respect to people who I feel should recieve it either because they respect me or because they are just amazing people that I’ll never meet. Jessica Simpson seems to be going through some kind of naughty girl phase lately. I think personally that the Dukes of Hazzard movie did her in! Good Lord, I don’t think she (being a Christian and all) should do half the things that she does and that movie made her a slut. I feel bad for Nick, I think he is a total cutie and should really think about finding a normal girl who he can actually relate to not some goofball who acts like a baby all the time… just because fame doesnt seem to change him. Ughh, the way she talks is so annoying. “babyyyyy” Grrr! hehe:) Anyhow those are my thoughts about it all:) Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    I cant stand either of them.

    I hope they both fade away.

    She’s not a drunken whore whatsoever but spending whore — that nails her perfectly. What an empty life! And the marriage is a cautionary tale about “saving it” for marriage — kids at home, don’t let this happen to you.

    Jessica is certainly no prize but it surprises me how vehemently people despise HER, but have nothing to say about Nick. He’s a complete moron too! He’s no less of a complete waste of a human being than she is. I mean, the only tiny thing she has going for her is being somewhat physically attractive…but poor stupid cross-eyed Down’s-looking Nick doesn’t even have THAT. ACK. ::shutter of revulsion:: Could someone please get a crowbar and force his eyeballs to be at least 1″ apart? He looks like a cyclops. Something went the F wrong with THAT gene pool too… It ain’t all Jessica…

    Just thank god they didn’t spawn baby Nickssicas.

    best of luck to you nick. Jessica I think needs to grow up your 25 and act like your 5. Joe Simpson is the worst father in the world i dont know of any father that talks abouts his daughter chest as much as he does, just think if it was not for him maybe thinks could of work out.

  6. ehaugh

    This is a direct result of not having sex until marriage.

  7. “This is a direct result of not having sex until marriage. ”

    This is a direct result of Marriage.

    That is why I married my gay lab partner.

    yeah…what you said Valerie23! good post.

    I have to disagree that Jessica could get any guy she wants while Nick can’t get anyone. The fact that he patiently put up with her retardation for three years, didn’t act like a total dick despite her looking and acting more and more like a stripper each day, and remained a somewhat normal guy (i.e. did not become K Fed.) makes him EXTREMELY appealing to a lot of girls. Maybe he couldn’t get someone as rich and famous as she is, but he will definitely find some more down-to-earth hottie with more than half a brain in her head. Who, on the other hand, would get involved with her after she has publicly proven herself to be a stupid, spoiled under-talented diva with the family from hell?
    Oh, and I would agree with the comment about Jessica making a good porn star, except depsite her sexpot image, she doesn’t seem to like sex much. Who would turn down Nick? I don’t get it.

    Nick is fugly and has a squished up face and a ginormous nose .. why the fuck would any girl want him? jessica is dumb as shit but at least hot. Nick is dumb and fugly – horrid combo

  11. Brooke

    well you know not every relationship is perfect… so maybe they just didnt want everyone to know what was going on… i love jessica simpson and she is my idol … everyone needs to stop talking so much crap about them!

  12. sweet sugar

    everyone is talking about nick, but he has put up with alot of shit from jessica
    1st- her dad
    2nd – spending (who buys 1500 sheet?????????o.k. maybe in hollywood not in the real world.
    3rd- not sleeping with him (i would sleep with him anytime)
    4th- not wanting kids
    none of us really know what happen between the two of them, but if any of you have seen the show, I think we can agree the jessica was and is a spoiled baby, she seem not to care much about the vows she took 3 yrs ago. For the daughter of a preacher, she sure does not like one. I LOVE NICK

    “Oh… is turkey like… the chicken of the air?… Nick can you rubb my belly, I feel like farting… Oh, in our first aniversary we bought a bed, because is made of wood, and wood is were you get the paper from… isn’t it..? Nick…..mmm Nick… NICK!…ehmm I forgot hihi”…

    well i’d stay for a couple more years to shag jessie out of her friggin mind coz love her or loathe her, you gotta admit she’s got a pretty tight bod.

    btws, yeah, the best thing comin out of the whole deal is that we’d be kept well entertained for a couple of months or so with who’s goin out wit faster, lols. can hardly wait for d whole guessin game to begin, man.

    at least nick has some intelligence well hidden when he acts like d vry least of a bastard compared to one mr pitt. well mr p, you could go and burn in hell like you’re long destined to be soon enough when i shot you through the head, so there.

  14. HollyJ

    Sweet – You certainly have the right to have a crush on whomever you want, but I don’t think your points are valid…

    1. ANY girl can have an a-hole dad that butts into everything. That’s the nature of in-laws, I’m afraid, and if he didn’t find out about her dad prior to getting married, that’s HIS fault. I’m sure he knew about it. He was “blinded by love” (or fame or her tits or whatever) …

    2. Since wayyyy more of the income and wealth is MADE by Jessica than her attachment, if she wants to spend $1500 on sheets, it’s kinda her perogative. His last two CD attempts bombed like Hiroshima. If he wants to bitch about where the money goes, he needs to drum up a shred of talent and get out and MAKE SOME OF IT.

    ($1500 for a set of good sheets — thousands-count Egyptian cotton or hand-sewn silk, for example — isn’t unheard of… I would assume that the majority of Hollywood has sheets like that. It only seems excessive to people living outside the means of $1500 sheets. With her wealth, $1500 is nothing.) I’m sure he spent ridiculous amts of money on things HE liked, too.

    3. No one knows the true frequency of their sex.

    Anyway, you don’t really KNOW Nick. He could have halitosis or horrid gas or some strangely bent weird-looking penis. Maybe he has that horrid ball smell. Or perhaps his nether-regions are riddled with puss-filled sores. He might be a complete ass in real life and only nice for the cameras. You just DON’T KNOW!

    You see his “star side.” I bet if you knew the REAL Nick, you’d be disillusioned. He’s just a person like you or anyone else. He gets cranky, has bad hair day, etc. He’s just a dude. That’s it. Just like Jessica is a simpleton with boobs.

    In fact, he’s a dude that can’t even make a marriage to a rich attractive woman work for more than a few years. Geez, Mickey Rooney or Liz Taylor woulda lasted longer.

    Besides, if one person’s not in the mood for nookie, it’s not the right of the other to just expect it. It is, after all, THEIR body. They don’t have to give it over like some g-hole for sport.

    (BTW, as a side note, you’d sleep with Nick, some dude you don’t even KNOW, just because he’s famous???)

    4. BOTH parents need to want kids to have them. He can’t just snap his fingers and call her babybox to his beck-and-call to carry his bullet for 3/4 of a year when she’s not ready. This isn’t a Muslim theocracy (thank god). And considering HIS career nose-dive, it was a good idea to rely on her looks to bring home the bacon.

    She’s a complete idiot, but even SHE knew they shouldn’t spawn offspring. BAD IDEA! The entire rest of the world agreed with her, I think. BAD IDEA!

    If they’d had kids, there’d now be a baby with divorced parents who think of no one but themselves.

    The idea of those two procreating is a BAD IDEA! (Have I said that before?) They both need to be neutered for the betterment of all mankind.

    It takes TWO to sign the divorce papers, so I think Nick can be considered 50% of the failure.

    I’m not defending Jessica, because I think she’s just as pathetic and ridiculous, but just because you have a crush on some TV dude doesn’t mean he was a good friend, husband, or lover OR that he isn’t also to blame that they crashed and burned.

    That’s all I’m sayin’ …

    PS You know, Nick is “breaking his vows,” too, but you didn’t say anything about that. Is he not held to the same standards? IXNAY on the double standards, I say!

    “Case closed.” *whipping out my white curls wig and fancy buckle shoes to slam down gavel.

    PS I know assholic is one of those girls who waggles her finger in the girl’s face instead of her cheating mans. I hate girls like that. It takes TWO.

  16. sweet sugar

    hi hollyj this is sweet sugar,

    I just wanted to clear up a few things, I’m not just blaming jessica for this, because it does take two to tango, but if you ever watch the show it seem that he was the one doing everthing.

    second i would not sleep with him because his famous, but if i were married to him yes i would, the show made it seem that every time he wanted sex, she did not maybe it was good editing but it made her look like she was not into him.

    don’t get me wrong they are both to blame, but after watching the show and just listening to things on the radio, i favor nick more then her at this time, but you never no things may change.

  17. sweet sugar

    Us Weekly (via the Insider) reports Jessica, 25, was the one who decided to pull the plug on the problem-plagued union, and informed Nick, 32, about the impending bust-up announcement in the kindest and gentlest way possible: She sent an e-mail.
    nice way to break to news to the love of your life or as jessica stated in a interview a few days before her soul mate.

  18. sweet sugar

    HollyJ its sweet sugar, i forgot one thing, i made the commect about jessica dad, no one real knows how a person will act once things change, jessica was his first born and he made her promise to remain pure to her wedding date and give her a ring, yeh my dad is the BIGGEST ASSHOLE out there, but he has never made me, make any kind of promise to him, also he sure does talk about her chest alot. I do like Jessica, I think she a beatiful girl but i think she let her father run her life just a little bit to much, and this goes by want i have read or heard. i just think joe favor jessica a little bit more then jessica and she would do anything to make him happy.

  19. assholic

    #65 hello, i despise mr pitt.

    and as of in the nick and jessica’s case, am neutral. i just cld barely contain my excitement to find out whether nick would do ashlee and jessica the jackass guy, and who’d do it first wld definitely be the better one, i’d say.
