UPDATED: The Newly-Filedfordivorces - 
by madeyoulaugh


It is expected that Jessica will forgo her music career to explore a life in feature films while Nick is expected to run for public office then slam into a tree during a skiing accident and die.
UPDATE Less than an hour after going up on the E! website, the link to the original article has vanished. It's unclear whether it will be someone at E! or someone in the Newlywed camp, but one thing is certain...someone's getting shitcanned.
UPDATE Wasting no time, Jessica Simpson-Lachey contacted a respected publication oozing with class and repute, US WEEKLY, to deny the claims that the couple filed for divorce.
Final Update The Superficial has the screencap of the original E! post.


Comments

from usmagazine.com:
EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS: JESSICA SIMPSON DENIES DIVORCE RUMORS Jessica Simpson exclusively tells Us Weekly that a news report claiming she had filed for divorce from husband Nick Lachey on May 24 is untrue. An E! online report that leaked onto the Web Tuesday afternoon had sent celebrity watchers worldwide abuzz with talk of the reality TV couple's apparent split. But within an hour E! had retracted the erroneous leaked report. 'It is completely false and we would sue them if they hadn't taken it down,' a defiant Simpson tells Us. Simpson's message to those spreading false rumors? She tells Us: 'Karma, baby!'
Ok maybe I should work instead of finding this useless crap.

It really makes me sick that US Weekly considers a divorce breaking news. That is fucking pathetic. A terorist attack is breaking news, not Barbie and Ken breaking up. WHO CARES!!!

yourmom--you obviously cared enough to read it and make a comment. besides--us weekly is an entertainment magazine/website, not an actual news source.

I care! I hear she doesn't want bad publicity before her movie premiere (and Nick's- he has a role in Bewitched). So they will stay together until after the premieres for good PR and then divorce.

There have been divorce rumors about them from before they even cut the cake at the reception, and of course their reality show fame made the rumors even more popular. They put their marriage in the forefront of the public eye so it became a hot topic. This rumor could be true, but it could be yet another that proves untrue. Either way, they got the career and fame boosts they wanted out of the reality show but created a monster for themselves in the process.

I wonder if it's true or not. That's all I gotta say.

Awww, I hope it's not true. I kinda like those two together, and after sampling the other reality shows with married couples (Meet the Barkers-yuck and Chaotic-boo), Nick and Jessica seem damn near Tracy/Hepburn-like.

"Nick and Jessica seem damn near Tracy/Hepburn-like"
Which part of Tracy and Hepburn do they remind you of? The part where he was married to and had a family with another woman or the part with all the drinking? It can't be the acting--Tracy and Hepburn could've done nothing but dog food commercials their entire careers and still put Nick and Jessica's talent levels to shame!

Amen Ashes!

I'm still puzzling over the Hepburn/Tracy thing. Could it be the multiple Oscar wins and nominations? No, I can't recall a Simpson/Lachey tie-in there. Or, perhaps, the relationship longevity???? Hepburn/Tracy being together (not married, of course) almost 30 years and Simpson/Lachey....ok, that isn't it either. Mystery solved, I think I have identified the parallel being drawn here. Hepburn and Tracy were onscreen in a handful of movies and Simpson and Lachey share small screen time on "Newlyweds". Thus, the comparison being, both couples have been onscreen together in some capacity as no other correlation is conceivable.

All-
Okay, I have got some 'splaining to do!
I just meant in terms of the perception of them Spencer/Tracey being in a long-term relationship-illicit or otherwise- and being perceived as classy and almost aristocratic in their collective personas. N and J are no where near Tracy/Hepburn, of course, and the other couples I mentioned are even farther from that ideal-consequently, enter a little device known as sarcasm. I didn't mean for my statement to be taken so literally, i.e., comparing movie stats, Oscars, etc. Sorry if that was a bad analogy; I'll try to think of a better one next time.
