Nick vs. Photog: Stop Talking Sh*t!

Note to photogs: Don't mess with Nick Lachey's girl!

Nick and GF Vanessa Minnillo arrived at La Guardia Airport in NYC on Friday to the usual group of paparazzi. According to Nick's rep, one aggressive paparazzo made a "nasty" remark that was directed at Vanessa. The remark, the rep says, was made specifically to cause a confrontation that would generate a good photo op and profit for the agency. The photo agency says hold the phone- it was Nick who was the aggressor! They say the video shows the singer approaching the pap, grabbing him by the neck and pushing him back in the terminal, while saying in his ear, "I'm going to f**king kill you if I ever see you again!"

Not true, says Lachey's rep. He says the video clearly shows Nick walking Vanessa to their waiting car, approaching the pap, shaking his hand, and placing his hands not on the guy's neck, but his shoulder. Nick merely wanted to "make sure the photog knew that his comments directed at Vanessa were not appropriate." The rep says there was no threat made and he was simply defending his fair lady's honor.

What really happened? Watch the video and decide for yourself!

76. i think that was kind of sexy of nick....what a guy! UNFORTUNATELY, nick is dating a former party girt w/has a less than steller past. there are always going to be people who are going to comment on that and pass judgement on bad behavior. nevermind how stupid you were or how drunk/messed up you were or your age or whatever bad that was happening in your life then that drove you to get such a horrible reputation. nick can't go around picking fights w/everyone!! take a note from angelina there vanessa and just rise above it. been there, done that, now move on. you can't change the past....but you can move past it.

77. They get attention because they'e both hot and that gets people interested. Nick seems like a real man. He has an old fashioned sensibility about him which is nice. Maybe it's his midwestern upbringing?

79. They are both Z listers...why are people still picking up magazines about Vanessa and Nick? I haven't seen him work since charmed and she quit TRL before she had a permanent gig ( I am not talking about freelance ET red carpet either!) . So... crickets to these two!!

81. Ever notice how as soon as these 2 see a camera they start holding hands? Nick always looks miserable and Vanessa tries to ham it up for the photogs.


70, I have also heard that Nick can be cocky. His has a nice guy image but he's typical Hollywood. He doesn't realize he should be greatful he is still famous because he is kind of an aging has-been.

Vanessa is nothing but a low class, ghetto tramp. She partied hard in NY and had a reputation as a wild, trashy party girl. She just was not famous enough to make news. Nick is nuts to fall for this fugly pig.

82. She is LOVING this! Those photos coming out with her and Lindsey was the BEST thing that has ever happened to her and her career. She may act like she can't stand it but she is eating up every bit up this pap crap. On the other hand I think that it is really going to cause a problem for her and Nick because I think that Nick was glad to be away from so much of that same pap crush and drama that he always had with Jessica.

83. nick better be careful... his gf is NOT worth an assault charge. no girl is. names & talk is b.s. though nick was smarter than that.

84. Vanessa is not as fine as she thinks she is, but anyone who has commented that she is not attractive at all is CRAZY!!!

86. I like Nick but I think he did have a few choice words for the photog. Even though I am guilty of reading sites like this, I can't stand the tactics the Papparazzi uses. I wish they would ease up and give celebs a break somethings. Sure their famous and have to accept a few things about fame, like getting their pics taken when they're not expected or wanting to, but the whole chasing, and pretty much stalking creeps me out.

Regarding Vanessa, I think she's a beautiful young lady, and smart. And so what if there are prettier women out there Nick could have been with. He loves Vanessa. Sometimes the most beautiful people are self absorbed and would take their partner for granted, just look at Jessica.

87. I think the guy called her a slut..that's why Nick reacted that way. I think most guys would have the same reaction as Nick.

88. It's obvious that Nick has anger issues! This isn't the first time he has been aggressive with someone. Remember the kid in the elevator? And the photo guy he slammed with the car door!?
You can SEE Nick squeezing the guys neck and pushing him inside trying to get away form the camers. He's physically man handling the guy! The pap should have filed charges.
Nick is just royally upset because he's embarassed by Vanessa's crazy photos and it's easier to take it out on the guy. Nick needs to dump her fast;. She's bad news. He acts more like a whipped guy every day.

89. Loser paparazzi just wants some money.
Nick obviously wasn't "choking" the guy. His hand was on the guys shoulder - yes, probabaly a little agressive - but nothing more.
Come on.

90. Jessica Simpson was a damn fool to let him go. Vanessa is a lucky girl, but just does not seem too trustworthy. Nick should know you have to not touch these people , hard as it may be at some point, because of geting sued. Vanessa ,if she were a REAL WOMAN,should have put them damn phone down and tlaked to her man and then when they got to the car ,made sur etheir bodygurad knew what was up, had Nick get in and then they goof in their merry lives. This photogs is part of the job. You know they are are not in the real lives of their subjects and people like Nick , no matter how hard it gets, have to remember that and let it go. Move away from the situation ASAP!!! Hard to ignore someone like this photog ,but what can you do...hit him and get sued.
