Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo Announce Split

For months singer Nick Lachey and his long-time girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo have denying breakup rumors, but finally they have come clean and have announced their split. "They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," a rep for Minnillo told People.

The couple have been dating since 2006, only a year after Lachey's divorce from Jessica Simpson. Sounds like a rebound relationship to me, don't ya think? A source told Us Magazine that Minnillo and Lachey "still care about each other very much. This is what's best for both of them."

Photos: Vanessa Minnillo does what Jessica Simpson never did!

Whether she’s an excellent bargain hunter or just really hungry, Vanessa Minnillo was spotted leaving the grocery store with not one, but two carts filled with groceries.

The model/actress was smiling from ear to ear as she pushed the first of two grocery carts, followed by a store clerk with the other one. Could Nick Lachey really have that big of an appetite?

She looked cute and casual in a matching green zip-up hoodie and track pants ensemble teamed with a pair of flip flops and an oversized handbag.

Next month (August 29th), we’ll be able to catch Vanessa, along with Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra in “Disaster Movie,” the latest in a long line of Hollywood spoof films.

Nick & Vanessa Grab Some Grub

Last night, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo enjoyed a night on the town together.
The former 98 Degrees stud and former MTV VJ were spotted in Sherman Oaks, California grabbing a romantic dinner at Casa Vega. Funny how they are both formally employed, what are these two doing for the entertainment world these days, anyway?

Vanessa Minnillo: Flying with Wookie

Staying in Los Angeles for only a few short days following a recent trip to Salt Lake City, Vanessa Minnillo was once again spotted jetting out of LAX Airport on Saturday (June 28).

With her faithful pup Wookie in her arms, the former Miss Teen USA endured the painstaking task of going through check-in and security before finding her terminal and boarding the plane.

Less than a week ago, Vanessa, 27, took a trip to Utah to visit boyfriend Nick Lachey - where the two fit in a little pool time at his upscale hotel. Lachey, 34, has been situated there while he works on the reality show “High School Musical: Get in the Picture”.

Talking about his latest work, Nick told press: “Going into this project, I really wanted to be a little bit of a mentor to them. Obviously these kids are all here eyes wide open. It’s a great opportunity for them and I just try to tell them to relax and have fun, be themselves. I think they’re all talented.”

Meanwhile, Vanessa is currently looking forward to the August 29th release of her new film, “Disaster Movie”, in which she stars alongside Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra.

Lachey & Minnillo Are Heroes To Old Neighbour

Pop star Nick Lachey and his girlfriend have turned a problem neighbour into a new best friend after saving his life.

The singer and Vanessa Minnillo jumped into action when an elderly man living in their New York apartment block collapsed as he stepped out of an elevator.

Minnillo called the emergency services while her boyfriend grabbed the old guy's keys and dashed to get his angina medicine.

The couple then stayed with the man until paramedics arrived and took him to hospital, according to the National Enquirer.

Ironically, the man was among those who opposed Lachey and Minnillo's move into the condo, citing worries about the paparazzi who follow the couple everywhere.

Celebrity News: Vanessa and Nick Lachey Reality TV Show?

Vanessa Minnillo is desperately trying to persuade Nick Lachey to star in a reality TV show with her, it has been claimed.

The TV presenter - who is said to be engaged to the former 98 degrees singer - wants her own TV show but producers have told her she must get Nick to agree to co-star before they give the project the go-ahead.

However, Nick, 33, insists he isn't prepared to make his private life public again, like he did when he starred with ex-wife Jessica Simpson in their MTV reality show 'Newlyweds'.

A source said: "Vanessa's been trying to get Nick to change his mind for months because she really needs the show to get her career off the ground - but he isn't budging.

"Nick told me, 'God if I learned anything, I learned that if you want to screw up a perfectly good relationship, just let cameras follow you around 24/7. No way I'm going down that road again.' "

Vanessa, 26, has repeatedly denied she is planning her own reality show, but sources have revealed she has already pitched the idea to both E! and MTV.

Nick is being a bad boy!

It seems things were getting hot and heavy between Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo at a private resort in Mexico. Photos of the couple engaged in a heavy make-out session were published by Life and Style magazine. Apparently there is more to the story, the couple is trying to keep racier photos and video out of the magazines and off the internet. It is said that the content of these other images would make the Paris Hilton sex tape look like nothing. I bet she is more fun than Jessica, but one can't help but wonder what the blonde bombshell is thinking about all this ::sound of crickets::

Has another one joined the "dark side"?

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is probably a quote Vanessa Minnillo isn't too fond of at this moment. First Vanessa graced the cover of Lucky magazine with a cheery smile and innocent demeanor, but recently new pictures of her with Lindsay Lohan don't showcase her in this same light. The shots taken show Lindsay and her playing with knives while seemingly intoxicated or something.

A source from US Weekly though comes to Vanessa's defense by claiming she was simply caught up in the moment, but now she regrets it. I'm pretty sure the only thing these stars regret are being caught. I'm just waiting to see Vanessa to sign onto a "Knife Safety" campaign to give this a positive spin.

Lepaparazzi News Update: Nick Lachey And Vanessa Minnillo Split Rumours

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have reportedly hit a rough patch.

Rumours began circulating that things weren’t as rosy with Lachey and his girlfriend, MTV VJ Minnillo, in January. Reports surfaced that Minnillo was drunk on New Years Eve, which caused Lachey to get upset at his girlfriend of almost a year.

Then it was reported a few weeks ago that Vanessa exploded at Nick after she found some girls trying to chat him up at a club. Vanessa apparently stormed out and he followed her.

Now it has been reported over the Grammy weekend that the pair had another tempestuous weekend. The pair started off all smiles as they entered Justin Timberlake’s pre-Grammy concert on Friday night. However, things took a turn for the worse when Jessica Simpson’s former assistant and best friend Cacee Cobb showed up with her boyfriend – Scrubs star Donald Faison.

"Cacee ran up to chat with Nick like four or five times throughout the evening, while her boyfriend was hanging in the balcony," Perezhilton.com quotes a source as saying. "Vanessa was pissed that Cacee kept coming up to chat with Nick so much. Nick kept having to calm Vanessa down all night."
