If You Love Something, Get Rid of It: Nick and Jessica to Divorce

READ MORE: US Weekly, break-ups, nick and jessica

The image at right (click to enlarge) probably won’t be on the newsstands until 10 A.M. or so, but we don’t see why you should wait for the news: Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, America’s Newlyweds, have called it quits. For those of you so self-loathing as to closely follow these things, you’ll recall that in May, E! online reported that the couple had filed for divorce, only to mysteriously retract the story an hour later. But you knew, right then, that this was coming, didn’t you?

The couple is waiting to make an official announcement later in the month (at the appropriate career opportunity, we’re sure), but according to Us Weekly’s scoop — kept so under wraps that employees were not allowed to receive their advance issues yesterday, presumably for fear that People might r*pe and pillage the story — the marriage has been dead for some time. Well, duh.

The article has a laundry list of contributions to the break-up (mostly blamed on Jessica), including creepy-dad Joe Simpson, Jessica’s “diva” behavior, and her fondness for whiskey on the rocks. One of those ubiquitous sources close to the couple says, “Jessica’s the problem. She’s not the girl America fell in love with anymore.” Oh, young America, were you ever really in love with her? Or were you just lusting? C’mon, be honest.

And now, a moment of silence, please, so that we might hear the sound of every magazine editor in town simultaneously sh*tting themselves.
 
The rumor has been out there for a long time but i'm not surprised. They've had an on and off again relationship. And it was up until Sept 11, 2001 which I thought it was an impulse on Jessica... did they got back and decide to marry. I always say you do something stupid when you think it's the "end of the world". :doh:
 
Give it another few months and her 'career' will go down the toilet too...

I'm glad they mentioned her father as 'creepy'...because he truly is.. :ninja:
 
I think they're marriage was over the moment they began to exploit it for money and fame. Fame is really a b*tch though! It takes a pretty, sweet acting Christian girl with a good voice to a drinking, partying, too much eye makeup, overexposed ditz in no time. And don't even get me started on Dad. :yuk:
 
I was worried that the cover might have been photoshopped but now it's on the US website:

Now that doesn't mean it's true....
I think it is rather sad that they have split. Has anyone seen the footage from their wedding? They looked soooo in love. What struck me as the sweetest thing was when Jessica was walking down the aisle, crying, and Nick was looking at her, and her gasped when he saw her, and wiped a few tears off his cheek.
 
hu, what a surprise:p

i wonder why he even stayed that long with her.....
 
It was about time! Nick never seem to care about Jessica in a tv show, he seemed always so annoyed by her. And he is way too good looking for Jessica!
 
..or better yet, i perhaps it's the "is this chicken or tuna" that did Nick in to distance himself from Jessica that led to ....D-I-V-O-R-C-E?

Wouldn't you be annoyed by her? She played everything up for the camera (which actually worked, by the looks of how famous she's become).

I also won't believe it until I see their statement.

But if it is true, this is just an insane month for celebrity divorces:
Tori Spelling
Rene Zellwger
Jamie Lynn Discala (which may be another reason JS wants a divorce:innocent: )
Kathy Griffin
Sophia Bush
Jenny Mcarthy (maybe a few months ago)
...i know there are a few more...
 
Details from perezhilton.com:

If you're just tuning in, you may or may not have heard by now that Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson are calling it quits and putting an end to their almost three year marriage.

The couple have secretly been split for close to two months now, sources tell Us Weekly, who have the former Newlyweds on their cover this week.

"There will be no forced reconciliation," a source tells the pub. "They should have just ended it six months ago but there was always another business reason not to break up. The marriage kept going for all the wrong reasons and they ended up hating each other."

Jessica's father, Joe Simpson, is said to be the driving force in keeping the problems concealed.

And, while only Nick & Jessica will ever truly only be the two people to really know what went wrong in their marriage, Us Weekly places the blame solely on Simpson's shoulders. And, it is quite startling how apparently one-sided (in favor of Lachey) the article is. Now, we're not here to defend Jessica Simpson, but somebody sure has an axe to grind!

So, what led to the divorce? According to Us, Simpson's growing stardom, her increased independence and her newfound love of the Hollywood party scene was ultimately responsible for the split.

"Jessica's the problem," a source tells the pub. "She not the girl America fell in love with anymore."

Digging the knife deeper into Simpson's back, Us Weekly goes on to write, "Signs of strife had been apparent to observers for well over a year as, not coincidentally, Simpson underwent a transformation from a C-list sweetheart to an A-list temptress. Meanwhile, Lachey, by all accounts, remained the affable,down-to-earth jock." Oh yeah, we're sure Nick Lachey is an angel!

Simpson and Lachey tried to keep up appearances for as long as they could, but the couple didn't do a very good job at it. Lachey barely visited Simpson while she was filming Dukes in Louisiana. Jessica took a habit of not wearing her wedding ring and the former homebody also discovered the newfound joys of clubbing.

Says Us Weekly, "What's more, former homebody Simpson became a club fixture, one night partying alongside Wilmer Valderrama at Spider club in LA, the next night dancing on the seats at Spider Club - only to turn up at NYC's Marquee looking more than a little tipsy." MEOW! We didn't know you could be so catty Us. WE LOVE IT!

Then there was that now infamous night when Simpson "slept" with Bam Margera.

Add to all that rumors that Simpson also had an affair with Johnny Knoxville, which sources tell us that folks at Us Weekly and Star allegedly confirmed to be true but didn't print for fear of being sued by Joe Simpson.

Papa Joe also had a role in the demise of the Simpson/Lachey union. To put it mildly, Nick hates Joe!

Joe would not only accompany Nick and Jessica to awards show, but he would also go with them on vacation and be breathing down their necks every waking second.

It seems now that former good girl Jessica is not only rebelling against her husband, but also against her father as well.

"Joe has no control over Jessica anymore," a source tells Us. "Jessica won't listen to anyone!"

And, to make things even juicier, Simpson has also become professionally "difficult" as well.

Jessica pulled out of cover shoots for Teen People and Rolling Stone, arranged to help support sister Ashlee's new album. (Teen People has since been shot, and Rolling Stone is still attempting to reschedule.)

Lachey, who has not been seen in public with Simpson since they sang together last month at a football game, is working as a commentator for ESPN and will soon be releasing an album that no one will buy.

As for Simpson, though her marriage to Lachey is caput, she was all smiles in Vegas over the weekend. She's young, she's soon-to-single and a sl*t! Plus, she has a new album coming out and the lead single is called Fired Up. Oh, how true!
 
there's a suprise?

maybe Nick realised there was more meaning to that chin and bulge in her jeans :rolleyes:
 
Don't know what to believe either....although some pretty reputable news sources are now starting to report this also.

MSNBC.com Jessica, Nick reportedly to divorce
Lachey seeks split with wife of two years, according to published reports

MSNBC News Services

Updated: 2:33 p.m. ET Oct. 5, 2005



Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are splitting up, according to several published reports.

Life & Style magazine reported that Lachey, 31, told his actress-singer wife that he wanted out of the marriage. US Weekly also is reporting the split.

Rumors have swirled around the couple for more than a year. E! television reported in June that the pair were splitting, but the couple quickly denied the report.

During an appearance on
"Live with Regis and Kelly" on Aug. 3, Lachey denied that his marriage to Simpson, 25, was on the rocks.

"Everything is absolutely wonderful in marriage, in life and love, and we’ve been saying it for months now, it’s just, ‘We’re OK,"’ he said. "I love my wife to death and I support the heck out of her as any husband would."

Denials from Both Sides

From eonline:
STILL WED: Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey issuing a joint statement through a rep, denying reports from Us Weekly and Life & Style that the couple has ended their union. "Nick and Jessica have not separated," the rep said. "Rumors to the contrary are simply not true."

FATHER KNOWS BEST: Joe Simpson also telling E! News exclusively that the reports of the demise of his daughter's marriage are false. "Not true," Simpson said.
 
If it is true, so sad. And I'm not just taking the guy's side here, but it would be more down to her than him, if true. If not, that's good, because as a couple, at least in the first season of newlyweds, they seemed to work.
