Lachey Jams Signal on Sex Pics?

Nick Lachey was happy to pimp his baseball team on a satellite publicity tour all day long, but when asked about the hardcore sex pics with Vanessa Minnillo, Nick's camera went dead. Hmm ... coincidence?

TMZ obtained this video of Nick on FOX 5's "Good Day New York" today, where after questioning him about an MLB promotion for a couple of minutes, brave anchor Ron Corning asked Nick point blank about racy vacation pics of him with his girlfriend. Before Corning had a chance to finish the question, the feed went to color bars, prompting him to say, "There you go, that's how they're responding!"

TMZ contacted Lachey's reps who said, "We did over 25 interviews about MasterCard and the All-Star game this morning and WNYW was the only one that happened with." When asked if WNYW was the only one that went there with the question, the rep added jokingly, "Maybe it was the heat wave that knocked out the feed?" Riiiiight.

46. what is so horrible about Vanessa, and how is she 'bringing him down'? i never get when people say that stuff....

anyway, these are two ADULTS on VACATION who obviously CARE for one another - and even though they are celebs and in the spotlight, you would think they would be able to get their freak on and enjoy themselves in private w/out worrying about a perv taking their picture, who by the way should be shot - shame on you peeper... let the kids enjoy themselves - it's not like their violating their probation, murdering their families, or driving on the wrong side of the road...

48. Nick will be on jimmy kimmel live tonight at 12 am.
We can see him weasel out of the questions again tonight.
He may care for vanessa the skank monster, she doesn't care for him.
She only brings shame to his name and stirs up more and more press.
I know he doesn't want to be alone. But, a person can do destroy themselves alone.
He doesn't need her damaging his good reputation. Now, he is doing all this damage control. Saying he wasn't with a mexican hooker. Does that mean he thinks mexicans are hookers. How racist Nick!!! I hate vanessa and I never met her.
She stinks of chicken of the sea.. That aint good.

49. he said he wasn't with a mexican hooker not b/c he is racist, but because they were in Mexico! uh, duh!

50. They said he had 25 interviews today and this is the only one with a snafu. It seems like a techical difficulty to me. If you watch his interview on Accesshollywood.com he doesn't skirt the issue.

51. i wish he did do it on purpose, that would be great LOL- then maybe they won't be stupid enough to constantly dig for 'dirt' and ask stupid questions and just ask questions about why he is being interviewed in the first place... so much drama today, ugh....

52. Shelly,LJ or whatever
You are always defending everything he say's... why is that?
People don't care if he interviewed with OK magazine with Ms. Minillo.
We would have rathered he did the interview alone. No one cares about her.
In my opnion, he did skip around the issue. I never heard him apologize to the fans or express regret for hooking up with someone like her. He only said, he had no intentions on marriage with her. He should write a song about her in my opinion PIMPS UP & HO'S DOWN. You seem to be a true fan, but he is wrong in this issue.
But, he is getting alot of press for his new CD and Major league dream project.

53. I have always thought Nick was one of the hottest guys in Hollywood, and Jessica Simpson would regret the break-up. He just has the look of a man who would know just what to do and how to do it!

It is too bad though, that celebrities can't have more privacy.

54. Someone said it's immature that he's avoiding the subject. Of course being in the limelight, celebrities have very little privacy, but it doesn't mean that they don't have a right to it. And if he refuses to discuss the photos, it's his prerogative. The public doesn't actually have a right to know about his private life. People are just nosy. If he's doing these interviews as a publicity tour, then they should just stick to the subject at hand and not dig for private information. Everyone just wants to sensationalize it.

OH MY GOD! NICK LACHEY DID THE DIRTY IN THE HOT TUB WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND THERE ARE PICTURES!!!

Wooooooow. Because he is totally the first one to ever do that. *rolls eyes*

It's not even newsworthy.

55. PHIL SPECTOR IN THIS INSTANCE MAY BE RIGHT.

56. I saw Nick on other interviews and he did not avoid the issue, However I would find it hilarious had he done that intentionally every time he was asked.
I don't understand why people say Vanessa will bring him down that's so ridicules, She wasn't doing anything wrong, neither of them were.
Before she was with Nick I never heard these mean comments about her.

57. It seems you love to be in the limelight Nick. It appears Jessica was smart to end the marriage with you. Your true colors have always shown thru!! Didn't you say you'd like to do a sex tape? DO IT IN PRIVATE AND THIS SITUATION WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED!!!!!!!

58. What do private, intimate photos have to do with an MLB promo tour? When Ron Corning got off the subject, Nick ended the interview. Cheers to you, Nick!!!

59. defense counsel - i have no idea what your post is saying, so I am guessing it was meant for this "LJ" person, which is not me. I don't understand what the big deal is with this girl, unless I'm missing something - and why would we apologize for being with her, doesn't that sound a bit hokey? lol "here's my girlfriend, but I apologize I am with her" ?! lol

Posted at 9:45AM on Jul 11th 2007 by Shelly

60. defense counsel,
I have no idea what your post means, so i guess you are directing it to this "LJ" person, which is not me. my point of my posts is why is everyone dogging this girl? i guess i must have missed something. and i think it would be hokey to apologize for a girlfriend that you have - "hey everyone, this is my girlfriend, but i apologize in advance for her" lol
