Star Catcher
Knife Pix Don't Stick Minnillo

A few dicey photos taken a year ago with Lindsay Lohan and a knife may fork with her career, but they won't keep Vanessa Minnillo from getting some tasty grub.

TMZ caught the former "TRL" host with boyfriend Nick Lachey leaving Joseph's Cafe in Hollywood last night (where they make one helluva falafel). Minnillo was looking great -- despite the horror of pictures making the rounds -- showing Lindsay Lohan holding a knife to her throat -- or was that someone who just looks like Vanessa?

Nick's bro Drew and wife Lea, Lance Bass and galpal "Entourage" hottie Emmanuelle Chriqui, Wilmer Valderrama -- and his hot Lamborghini -- and DJ Paul from Three 6 Mafia were all at the restaurant/club last night.

Also out last night were Kim Kardashian and "The Departed" badass Ray Winstone at Koi, and Stevie Wonder back for more dumplings at Mr. Chow with rapper Won G.

All this and more in today's don't-cut-me edition of Star Catcher.

17. According to Access Hollywood, on their show--last night, and on their web site (digital video), they claimed, in fact, that the other femme fatal playing wife the knife, along with Lindsey Lohan, in those kinky pictures is indeed Vanessa Minnillo...although they made no
reference to her being an on air reporter for their rival tv show Entertainment Tonight.

Billy Bush personally reported the story last
night on Access Hollywood!!! BTW...I also saw last night's Entertainment Tonight, and curiously, there was no mention of Minnillo, or the leaked drugged-out Lohan/Minnillo "Knife Wielding Lesbian S&M" picture poses.

I wonder if this will also affect her doing press interviews for the family friendly Fox film Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, since Minnillo stars in the film???!!! BTW...Minnillo did not appear with the rest of the cast of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer on the MTV Movie Awards last Sunday. Makes you wonder if there are a lot more sleazy pictures, and other nasty scandals, ready to come out concerning
"Nasty Nessa"--Vanessa's reported nickname among her close friends!!! Either way, judging by those "super freaky" pictures with Lohan, now
we all know why, and how...Vanessa got that much deserved nickname, in the first place!!! Nick Lachey...you are one lucky bastard!!!
Enjoy!!!

Amended: Well, this story explains why Minnillo wasn't on ET...but judging by the fact that these pictures are 4 months old, the producers at TRL and ET must have already seen them, and fired
Minnillo behind the scenes, although neither side will admit to it.

Her corporate bosses at CBS/Viacom, ET and TRL had been warning her not to date people who she interviews anyway...so this was their way
out (the pictures), thanks to the 'morals clause' that most certainly had to be in her contract!!! Trust me, she didn't quit!!! But hell,
even though I don't like Lindsey...I do like Minnillo. I'd hire her...but this time, to play the truth-- in the form of the bad girl
that she really is, rather than the girl nextdoor, which she has been faking all these years!!! Finally, now that she has been
outed--Minnillo is a "closet freak", no more!!! Rejoice!!!

P.S.-You'll recall Vanessa's TRL co-host Damian was dating that beauty contestant that was doing coke, drinking and having lesbian affairs. You know, the one involved with Donald Trump. There were heavy sexual sparks between Damian and Vanessa on air at TRL for years...so I'm sure she was right in the middle of all that with him, in respect to the beauty contest winner and the sleazy goings on behind the scenes, especially since Vanessa comes from the world of beauty contests anyway...that's where she got her fame from in the first place!!!

Are all these beauty contestants...all sleep around coke heads these days???!!!

19. It was Vanessa or her PR peeps would have issued a denile by now.

You would not allow your client to take the rap for something as distubing as those pics if it was not them.

20. It's her in the picture. Look at the mouth and the (slightly almost) overbite teeth. That's her.

Vanessa Minnillo is such a skank. Lindsay was an underage girl at the time. In fact, she is still not 21 years old, not officially an adult yet. What's Vanessa Minnillo's excuse? She is 26 years old. Shouldn't she know better?

21. People bash Jessica but Nick never had any crazy problems like this with her. She's not a low class druggie like Vanessa. This is why Derek Jeter kicked her ghetto ass to the curb. I lost all respect for Nick since he hooked up with this loser. He seemed to be wrapped up in this common bullshit. I bet he's a druggie, too.

22. First of all, Vanessa is scary without makeup! How Nick could find her chipmunk cheeks attractive, I will never know. Anyway, Im not shocked that she does drugs. She always seemed wild to me. Nick doesnt seem to care. Neither one of them really has a hot career right now so people will soon forget about them soon. He's mostly famous for being Jessica's ex and Vanessa is known for sleeping with Nick. He will run out of Jessica's money and she will go after someone else to try and get a name for herself. They deserve each other.

23. Pack up the excess baggage, set it outside the front door, change all the locks then ...... RUN, Nick!! RUN!!

24. What is Vanessa's talent again, I can't remember.

25. I have never liked Vanessa. She is so nasty. I wish Nick would wake up and find someone else.

26. I hope Vanessa isn't partying like that anymore. It really doesn't do much for her image. Also, I really like her and Nick as a couple. I would hope being in a serious relationship has cured her of these silly stunts.

27. I don't think the photos were such a big deal. It looks like they were just joking around. It might have been really stupid and dangerous but I don't think it was " evil" or "cry for help"

28. I think Vanessa put the photos out there to try and make people take notice of her.

Next thing you know there will be a LL & Vanessa sex tape..

29. I don't know why they report anything on this woman. She is as dry as a piece of toast with no butter.

30. They don't call her "nasty Nessa" for nothing.
