It’s the curse of Joe Simpson!
After successfully destroying daughter Jessica Simpson‘s music career, Papa Joe is extending his reach to former son-in-law Nick Lachey, who is reportedly on the rocks with longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo and floundering for a comeback.
According to a source, “They argue all the time, and Nick is done with her. He feels like she├óΓé¼Γäós holding him back, careerwise.”
And it’s true…we haven’t seen much of Lachey lately, although people are quick to defend his last single, Patience, which has performed lukewarm on the adult contemporary charts to a No. 39 position on Billboard’s Hot Adult Top 40.
What is “Hot Adult” anyway?!
Friends are saying that Lachey needs some sort of mainstream pop hit in order to launch a career comeback, and that in order to do so, he’s gotta ditch Minnillo, especially since “The relationship has been over for a while, but he├óΓé¼Γäós too nice a guy to end things completely.”
Of course, their respective mouthpieces are playing dumb, saying that as far as they know, everything is fine.
Ditch her Nick!
