Nick Lachey recently said that he likes Vanessa Minillo because she is very different from Jessica Simpson. In fact, he reportedly celebrates those differences.

�Nick keeps telling Vanessa the difference between her and Jessica is that she is extremely intelligent,� a �Minnillo pal� tells the upcoming issue of US Weekly.

What�s more, the MTV host is also different from Lachey�s ex because she loves sports and is a �guy�s girl� who loves to �play darts and chill,� according to a friend of the couple. And on July 24, Minnillo gave Lachey �several lap dances� at a New York hot spot called Butter Lounge.(source)

I’m pretty sure sure it’s not Vanessa Minillo’s intellectual capabilities that he’s thinking about when she’s wearing a bikini on a Caribbean beach. Some people are intimidated by intelligent women. I, on the other hand, am extremely attracted to erudite, intelligent women with a sharp wit and an eye for any esoteric je ne sais quois that meet their fancy. That, or if they have a nice rack.

According reports, Nick Lachey was getting hot and heavy with TV hottie Vanessa Minnillo on Monday at a New York bar. Nick, who has been linked with several Hollywood starlets lately seems to be making his rounds.

The two were in a flimsily curtained-off area at the W Union Square’s Underbar. “Nick’s a single guy,” is all a Lachey pal will say.

A source says Lachey, 32, and Minnillo, 25, were doing an R-rated bump-and-grind. “I saw tongues on skin,” says the source.

The next night, the pair dined with friends at Fiamma in SoHo then went on to hotel 60 Thompson, where they stayed until nearly 1:30 a.m. when they seen hopping into a cab with several pals.

The couple got close when Minnillo recently shot a part in Lachey’s upcoming video. (source)

Nick Lachey is giving Fez a run for his money. I have to say, that I am impressed. His star has all but faded away for singing so he has re-channeled his efforts into banging hot women while rubbing it in his bitchy ex’s face. Kinda like how I stopped being a science nerd after high school and became the white-hot attentive lover that I am today. I don’t mean to brag, but I use Axe body spray, ladies. Irresistible.

Vanessa Minnillo is ridiculously hot. She’s also from my home state of South Carolina. Well, actually she’s from the Philippines, but she lived in Charleston for while and even won the Miss South Carolina Pageant when she was a teenager. Hot, Asian, and a southern belle. Bless her heart. I KNOW! I’m pretty sure sure Nick Lachey will fuck this up somehow I call dibs for rebound.
