Bye Nick & Jess, Hello...?

Days after officially ending their three-and-a-half year marriage, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are moving on with their new single lives.Click here to return to TMZ.com
After performing on the "Today" show, Nick was spotted leaving his Manhattan hotel with rumored new girlfriend MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo on Monday. Despite living on opposite coasts, Minnillo recently told Perez Hilton "We're gonna make it work."

Vanessa better hold on tight to Nick because she's not the only one who finds the singer attractive. Nick was just nominated for Choice Hottie at this year's Teen Choice Awards.



With her new single "A Public Affair" and its sexy video, Jessica Simpson is ready to launch the sexy divorcee chapter of her new life too.

The singer will unleash her acting chops again in the upcoming film "Employee of the Month" which stars her rumored new hook-up Dane Cook. Although the couple have been spotted out on the town together, Simpson and Cook maintain that they're just friends.

In Hollywood the end of one power couple can only mean the start of two more.

1. I think it's nice to see Nick moving on and finally having some closer to his and Jessica's relationship. I believe he got the raw end of the deal, but maybe he will come out on top of all this and be much better off. I think he and Vanessa make a cute couple, but I hope he's not rushing in to anything to soon. But they would make beautiful babies together.

2. Ughh Nick Lachey makes me wanna vomit. Although I am not a fan of Jessicas, I have to applaud her for not dishing out every detail of their divorce like he does. Stop whining so much and man up already. People like him are just losers looking to gain celebrity off private affairs. TEAM JESSICA

3. I'm glad it's finally over so both of them can move on.

If Nick has Vanessa, Jessica has Reshad Strik who will also star on her new video. Check him out...he's cuter than Nick!

5. Moving on is healthy for both of them. I hope Nick finds in Vaness what was lacking in Jessica.

6. Jessica wanted the divorce and now Nick has moved on. He's waited a long time to have a woman finally make him feel like a man. I'm sure he will never get over Jessica, but he knows life goes on. Good for him. Let's see where Jessica's love life takes her. She will finally experience what a real man is like..one that cheats, treats a woman like dirt.....she'll see.

7. Does anyone really think Jessica can keep a man for long? She really is domestic and she says she's not having sex for a year. Sure she is beautiful, but she isn't that great with the make-up and hair pieces off and she acts so stupid that would turn a man off fast.

8. YAY Nick!! It's great to see him happy and MOVING ON!! I wish him and Vanessa the best! I hope they are incredibly happy and having a blast together!

9. Jessica won't keep a man for long. She has said time and time again she is not having sex for a year. Even her good looks can't keep a man on a string for that long. There's not many Nicks out there. She'll learn really fast that most men are only after one thing unless she has changed her mind about it and gives in. She has been dressing way too sexy lately. What happen to her role model image? She's started to remind me of Pamela Anderson. Guess Playboy is in her near future.

10. Vanessa = better looking than Jessica.
Jessica = Famous for being 3rd best to Brit and Christina, having big boobs and being "stupid" on her reality show.

If nick wanted to be an asshole he could get her for half of EVERYTHING, but being a nice guy he isnt.

Team nick!

11. i am so sick of hearing about them.... yet I find myself at this site, even commenting as of now... god I suck.

12. TEAM NICK all the way!!! Jessica and her dad are some fame hogs and her 15 minutes will be up soon. Trust me. She let this celebrity thing get to her head and she is a has been reality star. She must learn to be humble because she is not all that. Good men are hard to find...she will see that!!! She let her dad and mom dictate what her life should be like. grow up!!!!! And stop letting the lights and cameras get to your head. Look at Beyonce. She is a way bigger star and she is not at every party--she does not have to be seen and she treasures normalcy.

13. Ever wonder why Jessica decided to file for divorce? It's not her fault, it's Nick fault why she filed for divorce. Vanessa is the same girl spotted with Nick on a certain club last August 2005. He cheated while they are married. He cheated with Vanessa, they keep it a secret for a long time. Nick only waited for Jessica to file for divorce.

15. I'M GLAD NICK FOUND A WOMEN WHO WILL TREAT HIM GOOD NOT LIKE A DOG !!!!! JESSICA WILL NEVER EVER FIND LOVE, HER DADDY WANTS A-L-L HER MONEY, AS SOON AS SHE GOT RICH FROM PLAYING STUPUD, SHE LEAVE'S NICK. HE IS TOO GOOD OF A PERSON FOR WHAT SHE DID TO HIM. I WISH VANESSA AND NICK MUCH LUCK AND HAPPINESS.
