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.

16. Jessica is supposed to be on TRL at some point to promote her cover of Madonna's Holiday. I would pay good money to see Vanessa wearing some sort of Univ. of Cincy garb that day..........

Insert Dr. Evil laugh here.

17. Yea for Nick. He finally got rid of that ho-bag. I like him with Vanessa. She is 100 times better looking and more mature. I am sure that Jessica's sick and twisted father is glad he got his moneymaker daughter back all to himself. Any man that comments on his daughter's boobs is a sick sick man. Aside from Nick she has horrible taste in men... just like her mom.

20. I'm hapy for Nick but at the same time it's sad as well. It's hard to imagine both of them with other people after seeing their show. I really thought they would make it
so much longer. I think Jessica just needed to live on her own a little while before they got married to know what it's like to be on your own. You could tell that Nick was so much in love with her when he would talk to her even when she was dingy. Too bad they just couldn't make it work. I think Jessica is going to have a hard time finding someone who is totally in love with her and just not her looks. He also seemed very romantic in all the things he would do for her. She was a lucky girl to have had him and I'm sure one day she will figure that out. Too bad that it will be too late and he will move on.

21. None of us really know what happened. So, we can't really act as if we have an insight into their personal lives. Having said that, Nick does seem like a good, down to earth guy. I hope that he finds true happiness and a woman who wants a family like he does. I must say, I'm on team Lachey. I'm a Cincinnati girl, though, so I have to go with my hometown boy!

22. Team Nick! I wish him the best of luck. I wish they would of got back together but ever since they split i just can not stand Jessica. She is way too much of a dad's girl. Gosh, If Nick wanted a baby, I would of gave it to him. It's not like she can't take a break from work. She already has enough money. Sucks to be her. Nick is a hottie.

24. Team Nick all the way!!!!!! I think it is great nick has moved on and vanessa is a sweetheart. Jessica is to stupid to realize what she had!!!! I mean she got rich because of nick and now she will fall pretty fast I mean heck she can't even make her own music she has to copycat everyone else's music to put a song out. I think nick and vanessa is a great couple.I hope they have cute babies!!! I hope jessica falls as fast as she became famous.

25. Nick is better off without that whore wife he had. She will never be as famous as nick. Nick Lachey MADE jessica what she is today with the NW Show. If he didn't invite her to open for his group, she would still be milking cows in Texas. She's manipulative and self-centered and completely dumb. No man will stay with someone that dumb.

Her father controls EVERY aspect of her life and she allows that to continue. No man wants to deal with papa joe and signing confidentiality agreements to date her. Papa joe is the only man that she will continue to sleep with. When nick found out he promptly wanted out, but had to wait until the release of NW on DVD.

The Simpson clan is money hungry and will stop at nothing to be in the public eye.Sick, sick, freaks. TEAM LACHEY

26. Go Nick! I feel sorry for Jessica because she has to do what her father tells her to. She is the one who screwed it all up! Who really wants to know when she will be having sex again, my gosh keep it private. I'm sure that's her creepy father.

TEAM NICK!

27. Are you kidding enough already they both moved on obviously so leave them alone!

28. I"m happy that Nick has moved on . That marriage was doomed from the start thanks to Jessica's dear old dad. I feel sorry for Jessica, I doubt she'll ever have a relationship that her dad won't ruin. Too bad he loves his daughter's wallet more than his daughter.

After seeing dancing with the stars and seeing the rest of Nick's family, it's apparent that he was brought up on REAL family values, unlike Jessica who was raised with an ambitious, money hungry, hypocritical pastor wannabe.

29. Nick is nothing but a cry baby. He made it a point to talk about their divorce to anyone that he could so he could get publicity on his new Album. I know Jessica is somewhat of a air head......But at least she did not use her divorce to get famous. Nick was nothing until he started talking about the break-up and how much he still loved her. TEAM JESSICA!!!!!!

30. Nick you seem truly happy these days. Could it be that the new WOMAN in your life doesn't have to call Daddy before answering you or because when she doesn't call Daddy she can still give you an INTELLIGENT answer? None the less, you look and sound WONDERFUL as always. Best of Luck to you in all you do. As for Jessica, So tired of bashing her, just think she really needs to start acting like an ADULT instead of trying to cash in on her last minutes of fame. Had she truly been who she tried to represent herself to be, alot more fans would have stuck by her. Everybody loves money girl! You have shown NO class in how you will go about getting it and to what lengths. (Including one marriage down the drain.) Stop listening to Pervi Daddy, his advice is actually hurting your image, but surely filling his pockets. So, Best of luck to you also Jessica, unlike Nick, your gonna need it.
