That has to hurt.

“Even though Jessica wants to be happy for Nick, this is a very difficult time for her,” says a friend of Jessica’s. “Nick was the love of her life then, man, and he was her first, so she will always have a very special place in her heart for him. She’s deeply saddened.”

In an interview to Rolling Stone Nick explained how the show effected his marriage.. He didn’t blame the show for the disintegration of his marriage, but he did say a bunch of things about how it was a bad experience for them. He said “Jessica and I began playing these parts even when we were by ourselves. It became a really blurred line. There was a question about what truly was our reality. When you are on a reality show, your life ceases to be reality. It becomes TV.”

I watched Nick and Jessica’s show a few times and actually liked him. He was watchable. Down to earth, not an obnoxious celebrity..just a regular guy that married to a high-maintenance D-Lister, whom although he found ridiculous..he actually loved.

He seemed genuinely crushed when their marriage ended so I was surprised to read OK! Magazine report that he and Vanessa are seriously planning on getting married and are pitching Newlyweds 2.0. The show will feature them as well as other newlyweds to keep it interesting.

Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo were recently spotted talking with NBC execs. An insider tells OK! “They are exploring an idea to get married and do a show about newlyweds. It would help Nick relaunch his career and Vanessa take her career to the next level.”

The idea worked well in the past – Newlyweds, starring Nick and then-wife Jessica Simpson, was a ratings hit for MTV and the talk of the nation from 2003 to 2005.

If this rumor turns out to be true, Nick has killed two birds with one sex tape. Sweet revenge and a much needed boost in to his sagging career.

It sounds like Jessica was pissed that, although both she and Nick had been presented with an Operation Smile Universal Smile Award at some big gala in LA for their charity work, she was the only one who made the trek to Kenya to do the actual work.

Poor Jessica had to take her old assistant Cacee Cobb, and her ever present hairdresser Ken Paves. Jessica says once she was in Africa she realized she needed a change and Nick got the boot. That’s her story and she is sticking with it.
