According to a report in this week’s Star magazine, Jessica Simpson branded the Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo hot tub pictures “tacky” — and quite rightfully so! The magazine cites a source that says, “Jess was lunching with some friends and someone brought up the hot tub pictures. Jessica scrunched up her nose, made a face and said, ‘That is sooo tacky. Have some modesty!” The source added, “Jessica thinks that carrying on like that was classless. She suspects Vanessa knew she was being photographed and played to the cameras. She wouldn’t put it past her to have staged the scene.”
Meanwhile, OK! Magazine have reportedly paid $400,000 for the exclusive rights to the photos of Nick and Vanessa getting down and dirty in a hot tub in Mexico. Reports say that the mag only bought the pictures to keep them off the market and to keep Nick and Vanessa happy. After all, the couple did give OK! their first ever interview and photo shoot.
A source said, “There’s much worse stuff than what got out there on the Internet. If Nick’s fans saw it all, it would definitely change his career, because he kind of has a squeaky-clean image.”
