Nick & Jessica's Awkward Moment

Posted Jul 17th 2006 11:38AM by TMZ Staff

The ex-'Newlyweds' had a run-in this weekend at Hollywood hot spot Hyde, where the two partied separately - at the same time. The club is relatively small, with a capacity of about 100 people, so it would be near impossible for them to miss each other.

Adding salt to Simpson's open wound was the presence of Lachey's rumored new girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo, who showed up in the same car with Nick.

While Lachey has been linked to a number of women, Jessica admitted in the current issue of OK! Magazine that she's still living the single life saying, "I don't feel right about dating yet."

According to Gossip Gangster Perez Hilton, the two were cordial inside the club, even giving each other a hug.

Nick and Jessica's divorce became final on June 30th, though the two are still involved in property and financial disputes.

1. I want to hear about dance-offs or emotional breakdowns, or Jessica starting a catfight with Vanessa! At the very least I want a report of the hella awkward moment that must have been. Did they even acknowledge each other's presence?

2. I don't think that's Jessica. If you see in the beginning of the video, a girl that looks like that followed Nick and Vanessa in....as if she was perhaps with them. That looks like her back out there on the patio.

4. "I don't feel right about dating yet" --Give me a break, you wanted the marriage to end, so carry on! Why does she make statements like that, she is so full of crap. She needs someone else to manage her career, beside her father.

5. no proof that that was jessica. how easy is it to just film any blonde chick and claim her as that? geez. media.

6. Jessica needs to get away from her father. He's the problem and he's the reason they broke up.

I say, Go for it Nick...Jessica is not good enough for you any longer.

7. I dont think thats Jessica either--it looks just like the girl that followed Nick & Vanessa into the club--I also think Jessica should find someone else besides her Psycho Dad to manage her career! Of course now that her & Nick arent together anymore she doesnt have much of a career anyway--sooooo longggg daddy's little brat--Nick will be just fine with out you--how will you cope when the phone stops ringing & Daddy stops talking about your boobs??

8. I heard Jessica begged Nick to take her back, and he refused. I think she got a big head, and thought she was too good for Nick. He is showing her! She will find she was famous as a couple not a single and unless she gets rid of Daddy, she will just continue to fail professionally and personally.

11. In your face Jess!!!! I do not mean to be mean but come on, you keep hearing about how good Jessica is doing parading around Hollywood with the IT crowd. Well, I bet she is having second thoughts about letting Nick go. Come on, I KNOW she believed that Nick was going to mope around telling everyone who was willing to listen how much he missed Jessica. I am VERY happy he moved on first, and I am specially glad it was with someone who is a not a publicity whore...GO VANESSA!!!!

15. Jessica Simpson needs to return to her roots of origin - Christian music. Christian morals. Get a neutral professional agent - - - -grow up & quit trying to appease your father.

Nick was obviously heart broken and I felt bad for him. I hope he finds a woman who will treasure him - honor the marriage - and put God 1st - husband a close close 2nd. Career is for far below these prioritties. Wake up people.
