Vanessa's Back Door Man

Click here to return to TMZApparently Nick Lachey was longing for a little home cookin' last night, as he ditched his fancy Midtown Manhattan hotel room and moved up to galpal Vanessa Minillo's dee-luxe apartment on the East Side.

Nick had a meaty repast at Virgil's BBQ on his own, then went back to the hotel so he could grab his bag on his way to his lady love's lair. Vanessa, on the other hand, hadn't changed from her hosting gig on "TRL" as she descended the hotel's stairs in a fetching pink minidress. Nick, for his part, eschewed his usual T-shirt-and-jeans for a proto-athletic getup celebrating the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.



And when he arrived at Minnillo's apartment complex, he went in the back door, possibly to avoid the building's gauntlet of doormen, who reportedly aren't as enamored of the more taciturn Nick as they were of Minnillo's last squeeze, New York Yankee Derek Jeter.

32. JESSICA SIMPSON IS A SKANK WHO USED NICK TO GET A HEAD START IN HER SO CALLED CAREER. IF IT WASN'T FOR NICK OR NEWLYWEDS WE WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THAT BIMBO IS.
JESSISCA IS A MORON AND NICK DESERVES MUCH BETTER THAN HER.

33. Vanessa is so much better than that dumb ass no talent whore he made famous who dumped him - you know who! So stop saying he should be with her, she dumped him for whoring pastures. If you choose to believe she was a virgin when they married then that is your choice.

34. Vanessa,
You sure are defending Nick an awful lot do you know Nick and Vanessa personally? And How do you know who paid for what? Personally i think that when you get married it becomes both of their money no matter who makes what. And who the crap cares who was more famous. The fact here is that Vanessa Minillo came into the picture to soon, hell Nick wasn't even divorced yet so do you really think he is over Jessica considering he didn't want the divorce in the first place. Come on, Vanessa was in a music video that was for Jessica how stupid can a girl be? Do you really think he is in love with Vanessa? Probably not!!!

36. hell Nick wasn't even divorced yet

Anyone that has been divorced knows that a divorce is just a piece of paper. A lot of people start dating before the divorce is final. By the time the couple decides to divorce it is over. And I really think that Nick would take Jessica back....for that matter Jessica would not want to go back to Nick. They are OVER. They have moved on. Nothing and no one can make them go back together. Nick and Jessica are both young and will soon remarry and restart their lives. A year from now they will probably be double dating.

38. How is Vanessa Minnillo a gold digger? All I've seen is a woman, that has followed this man to some of his appearances and performances, unlike Jessica Simpson. If she is a "ho", then what exactly is Jessica? Bam Margera, spends the night at her parents house.....yeah right! She was hanging out at night with Ryan Dunn, while her husband was in Vegas for a charity benefit with is brother. Where were her priorites?
If guys like Lance and Reichen, can use their female friends as "beards", then Jessica, uses Ken Paves as her decoy to cover up her slutty ways.

39. whoever said the comment about cincinnati bearcats and miami university didnt really read waht they were saying. yes nick went to miami of ohio. duh. but we all know that he LOVES the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. If you would actually look at his outfit you would see that. He's from my home town and we all here blame Jessica. So THANK GOD that Nick has moved on and is with Vanessa. They are much better together.

40. If Nick is happy with Vanessa then I am happy for him. Jessica left him for apparently no reason at all, and the stupid bitch couldnt even talk to him about it and tell him personally, she sent him an email instead. How can someone who supposedly loved you just throw you away like that. He is a good man who loved her deeply and unconditionally, no way in hell did he deserve to be treated like that. I think the little ho from Waco just got a little to big for her cowboy boots and suddenly decided she was to good for Nick when in fact he is way too good for her. She did him a favor by leaving him, he deserves better. Anyone who supports Jessica Simpson is just as stupid as she is!! Vanessa is a beautiful girl and obviously smarter than Jess, come to think of it so is a box of rocks.

41.
Its just nature she will get burnt!! I hope she knows she's the rebound girlfriend. Nick is trying to find himself now. It's going to be a long while before he gets serious with another girl. When Nick falls in love he falls hard. Naturally it's going to take him some time to get over Jessica.

42. Nick is not into Vanessa at all. YOu can tell by the way he walks in front of her and doesn't want to kiss her. She really probably makes him sick. But what a great way to make Jessica jealous and she will come back to Nick sooner or later. I hope Nick can keep it up with Vanessa a little longer even though we all know he could care less about her.

43. Hey Gato! Jessica is the user! Her dad pimped her all over town to make money for him! SHE used Nick to create newlyweds and then she hogged the camera to make herself famous! Without him she is so nothing! If Vanessa truely cares for Nick I say great! She is pretty! If she's only in it for the fame................Vanessa learn from Jessica's mistakes! Nick has a great fan base
