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.

34. Nick was dating as soon as he split, he didn't waste anytime moving on. Nick wanted out, but jessica had to be the one to do it. good for her. i am sick to death of his whining & making money off his divorce.

35. Nick is way better off now than when he was married to that sleazy bitch. Vanessa is a "woman", not a child that has to ask Daddy for permission.

Nick is probably the happiest man in the world to be rid of that cokehead.

36. Jessica's so called "career" is SOOOOO OVER. She's nothing without nick. SHe should be kissing his a** for getting the b**** "out there".

Vanessa has more class,personality, beauty and she's smart. Jessica is overrated, sleeps with her father, and sleeps with women, she's a cokehead and a dumb one to boot, she NEVER graduated HS or got a GED. Dumb B****.

Nick and vanessa make a better couple than nick and jessica. At least nick knows Papa Joe won't be sneaking vanessa's cooch.

37. Jessica went "hollywood" and thought she was too good for nick. She'll soon find out how stupid that decision was when she starts going downhill. Her 15 minutes are up from the NW. She has no acting talent or can she sing. She's hawking junk that only her dumb fans would buy.

Her and papa joe are laughing all the way to the bank about how stupid her fans are and how rich they made us. She fooled her fans by portraying a sweet virgin - NOT. She's nothing but a slut and a cocaine addict soon to hit bottom.

Nick and vanessa are better suited. Nick should thank that whore for doing him the favor! TEAM LACHEY!

38. #10 You are absolutely right! Nick could have been an asshole and DEMANDED half of their accumulated wealth DURING the marriage - he did not. The man has class, unlike that whore and her money hungry family. Jessica wouldn't be sjit if it weren't for NICK LACHEY andhim agreeing to do that shit reality show.

Goes to show she is out for money, just like her beloved papa joe. That family is sick, crazed, greedy and publicity hungry not to mention the fact papa joe and tina pimped them out when they were kids. Great parents........ The way that family treated Nick is shameful, but they saw him as the golden goose to launch jessica's (non)singing career. The should be forever grateful to Nick for marrying that whore. He should have insisted on her getting a HS diploma, no man is going to want that slut for long, she can't hold a conversation, she's dumb and looks do not last forever. Nick is the one that came out of that marriage looking good, her a greedy, selfish whore.

41. I sick of the whole act too. If he really loved her he wounld not be with another women. And second he trying to make money off of the divorce. Because he has been cheating on her. And he needs money cause he can not sing. I don't really like either one but thre must have been a reason she left the man she love. i appluad her for kept quiet. Yes her dad is creepy I could not talk about my daugther the way he does. I think he might have something to do with it. Yes she does act dumb. No man wants a dumb woman or one that can't cook or clean.

42. I have to say the same go Jessica. I 'm glad she didn't tell all. Nick needs to be a man and stop crying all he is doing is trying to make money off of the situation.He must not love her cause he is see someone else so soon. When I went thought my divorce I didn't see anyone for a year. Just so I could think and see what I want out of life. So, must cheated on her. For her to just leave her first and the man she love. Also, her father is creepy. The way he talks about her is weird. I hope they both found true love and happiness. Tell her dad to stay out of it.

43. Nick & Vanessa look cute together, Bet Jess is pist-off seeing him happy. You go Nick be happy. Let Vanessa have what's left of you!!!!!

44. How does anyone know that Nick cheated? I do not believe that! He was
to good for that. He is just so talented in every way and I think we should more and more of him. TV, movies, and records,.he sure held his own on the MTV Show. He is just the best , Jessica is such a whinner and a daddys girl, grow
up girl, you are not that much, especially without all the attention making you
up, just a plain Jane without
