Nick Lachey is devastated by the death of Jessica Simpson's lesbian dog.

The former boy band singer - who got the pooch, Daisy, for his ex-wife when they were married - was horrified to hear the beloved mutt had been snatched by a coyote.

Nick Lachey has seemingly rekindled his romance with Vanessa Minnillo. The former "Newlyweds" star was spotted passionately kissing the MTV presenter - who he split from June, after dating for around three years - in Los Angeles' hotspot Dime over the weekend.

An onlooker said: "They were making-out in one of the booths and seemed totally into one another."

Jessica Simpson says love splits are like "a death in the family." The singer-and-actress, who was dumped by American football star Tony Romo last month, grieved when her marriage to Nick Lachey officially ended in 2006.

She said: "You go through the mourning stage, then the rebellion, and then all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete - and that's the only time you can truly fall in love again, and give yourself over completely to another person. It's like a death in the family."

Jessica Simpson has sparked a race row. The singer-and-actress outraged the Native American community by using a racial stereotype in an interview.

When asked if she would take back the expensive speedboat she bought for her now ex-boyfriend Tony Romo, Jessica reportedly told TMZ: "I'm not an Indian giver."

Nick Lachey has been seen spotted leaving a nightclub with five girls. The former boy band singer is said to be enjoying the single life since his recent split with former Miss Teen USA Vanessa Minnillo at the end of last month.

Nick was spotted drinking with friends at Los Angeles bar Madame Royale on Tuesday, but the ex-98 Degrees member's party were soon joined by a group of girls.

Jessica Simpson's ex-boyfriend Tony Romo is said to be emotionally drained from the couple's split.

The football player battled lapses in concentration at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship this weekend because he was distracted by his recent break-up.
