Jessica Simpson bought an expensive house
Less than two weeks after filing for divorce, Jessica Simpson has bought and moved into a $3 million Beverly Hills home.
"She's happy to have a house that's hers," someone close to the pop star tells PEOPLE. "This is the first time she's making her own decisions." Among them: keeping the divorce proceedings as quiet as possible by requesting the case be assigned to a private judge and not aired in open court.
Some details are known, however. Simpson asked that she not pay alimony to her soon-to-be ex-husband, Nick Lachey – though it’s not clear that Lachey ever wanted it.
Says a source close to him: "There is no squabble, and we are hoping for a quick and private procedure." Which may be why Simpson did not oppose a judge helping settle issues such as distribution of property, according to the divorce papers.
These must be hard times for Nick Lachey. Not only has he lost the hottest girl he'll ever get, but he has to see her move into a $3 million home while he's emptying his piggy bank so that he can afford a couple weeks at the local Motel 6. At least he used to be in 98 Degrees. That's something to be proud of, right?

Yeah, having been a part of the fourth most influential boy-band (or man-choir) in music history is definitely where I'd want to hang my hat.

He's an even bigger idiot than I thought if he doesn't go for half of her wealth. No Nick, No Newlyweds. No Newlyweds, No Millions for Jessica.

Did I say fourth MOST influential? I'm sorry, should have been fourth LEAST influential.

Come on, Westlife are far huger than 5ive or Caught In The Act (who?) could ever hope to be...
Not that I'd know anything about that.

Oh, come on. Nick will be great Soul-O. After all, we saw how well he did on his own after 98 Degrees.
Jessica deserves to have tons more money because she's hotter. And hotter people are worth more than regulars.

Has there ever been a boy band that left the game with their dignity intact?

Yes, yes, Jessica Simpson is a very hot tranny; and also a pretty hot retard to boot.

Jessica is hot but not totally. I agree that she is much cuter in the pic shown above than what she looks like now. She's an 8 out of 10. I am sure Lachey will get half of 35mil(at least) so lets not jump on him for being a moron right away. If he has a good lawyer I'm sure he could get some kind of alimony as well. But then he would risk being asked all the time, "Hey Nick! How's your mangina feelin'!?!"

Baby koalas eat their mom's shit as it comes oozing out of her ass, warm and fresh, in order to get the necessary bacteria to digest leaves.
This isn't related to the story, except that I get the same feeling reading about Jess and Nick, as I did the first time I watched a baby koala on Discovery munching Mom's playdough poop.

HollyJ...I just want to tell you your comments are always hilarious. Thanks for the many times you've cracked me up.

Hey HollyJ are you implying that Nick is/was mooching off of Jessica?
Remind me again who wanted a pre-nup before the marriage? Oh that's right Nick, but Jessica didn't want to sign one so that's her stupidty.
I'm glad a guy is going to get alimony for once.
I saw the Newylweds show a couple of times and half of $35 million is nearly enought for all the pain and suffering Nick had to endure during that fiasco of a marriage.

"This is the first time she's making her own decisions."
why am i so NOT surprised? oh yeah... "this is tuna, but it says chicken, so...."
no reason not for nick simpson not to go for alimony, i think we all know who the bitch is in that family already
