Nick Lachey has dismissed the scandal surrounding photographs of his hot-tub frolics with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo. The former 'Newlyweds' star says he would understand the outrage if he was caught with a prostitute, but as he was with his own girlfriend he can't understand the fuss.

Lachey told OK! magazine: "Where's the scandal? "I was in Mexico with my girlfriend celebrating our first anniversary together on a private vacation. It's not like I was caught with a Mexican hooker. We've all gone out and had a few too many and done something stupid. We've all made mistakes."

Nick Lachey is desperate to keep explicit photographs of him from being released.

The 'Newlyweds' star and his lover Vanessa Minnillo have hired top lawyer Marty Singer to prevent images of them naked in a Mexican hot tub from being seen.

Vanessa Minnillo is following in the footsteps of her boyfriend's ex-wife.

The media personality and former Miss Teen USA is reportedly in talks to star in her own reality TV show, similar to the type of show that made Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey household names back when they were a couple.

It has only taken one night of partying with Lindsay Lohan to turn Vanessa Minnillo into a bad girl.

The cute girl-next-door, who has recently moved in with boyfriend Nick Lachey, is in the middle of an image crisis following the pictures with rehab patient Lindsay.

It seems like Vanessa Minnillo isn't such a sweet and innocent girl after all. Reports have confirmed that the "friend" pictured next to some disturbing images of Lindsay Lohan playing with knives is, in fact, Nick Lachey's girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo.

Pictures of the "Entertainment Tonight" New York correspondent and cocaine addict starlet LinLo have currently made their way across the Internet. One image shows LinLo holding a knife up to Vanessa's neck, while another has Vanessa placing the knife towards the actress' breasts.

Jessica Simpson has confessed she has been "cowering from her true identity" and needs to "face her fears."

The "Employee Of The Month" star had an epiphany during her recent trip to Europe, where she discovered her true self. Jessica has now shared her new-found wisdom with her fans.
