Mar 1 2006Nick Lachey is furthering his career
Proving he'll be able to sustain himself post-Jessica, Nick Lachey is going to make $500,000 for agreeing to be in an infomercial. According to Us Weekly, Lachey "pumps it up" with Brooke Burke in new ads for celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson's Core Secret DVDs. And because he signed the deal after his separation from Simpson, he doesn't have to give her a dime.
I was originally going to rip on Nick with something really witty, clever and subtle, something like "Nick is a big stinky poopyhead." But then I realized that making $500K to hang out with Brooke Burke while she exercizes is a pretty goddamn good deal. The only way it could be better is if the DVDs are called Brooke Burke's Super-Orgy. And I take Nick's place. And the filiming is done in my basement. And Brooke thinks that men who cry when they're naked are sexy.

Brooke Burke is the most overrated woman on the planet -- right behind Eva Longoria. Living in NYC, I see more beautiful women working at the deli around the corner. Not kidding.

I'm so glad someone other than me recognizes the Brooke Burke/Eva Longoria over-hype. To me Eva looks like a skinny little Taco Bell dog (or that mouse "Muffy" from the old kid's show, "Today's Special". I agree, I see better looking people on the street every day.

Only if Nick could have the same career path as David Hasselhoff. Perhaps if Nick plays his cards right he will be hanging from a tire swing having Pepsi being through at him and doing "Hooked on a Feeling" videos. I wish him the same success as Dave.

I'm rooting for Nick. I hope he takes every dime he can get from Jessica.
Her dad told her not to sign a prenup because Nick was making tons of money from 98* and she was barely selling records. Looks like the tables turned around on Joe Sleazy Simpson. I love it!
5. ESQ - March 1, 2006 11:04 AM
I guess with Brooke broke off her engagement to the Burger King dude to go exercise with Nick Lachey. Silly bitch I wish she would just make up her mind and be with me.

Whats the big deat with Brooke Burke? OOO another good looking brunette...BORING!!! But...Nick Lachey should do well, I mean he is smarter than Jessica, and definately the better singer. I don't know what she did to her voice since she first started out but she is no Mariah. I would love to see him so way better than her sorry butt.
7. bex* - March 1, 2006 11:22 AM
Do you cry alot when you're naked then, yeah?...
8. L.ronhubbard - March 1, 2006 11:23 AM
Hey Gothamguy, I live in Manhattan, too. Where do you find the smokin' hot deli chicks? The ones in my neighborhood are generally toothless hags who can't work the Lotto machine and get confused when you give them correct change.
9. nlsgypsy - March 1, 2006 11:30 AM
this isn't any worse than those awful pizza hut commericals jessica is doing. GO NICK!
10. JillyBoBilly - March 1, 2006 11:37 AM
Brooke Burke looks like a giant pair of walking nostrils.
11. LoneWolf - March 1, 2006 11:38 AM
If their respective careers stay in their current trajectory, soon Nick is going to be known as Drew's brother.
12. GothamGuy - March 1, 2006 11:40 AM
Mind you, L.Ron...not delis on the UES/UWS on a Saturday morning. You have to hit the midtown delis during the workday. I work around Bryant Park -- if you want to go deli surfing for chicks (which is totally respectable) try this area at around noon.
Although, if you are a Scientologist, I should warn you that these girls tend to be chock full of aliens.
13. Kevin - March 1, 2006 11:45 AM
So, are all of the readers of The Superficial either gay or live next to the Supermodle Deli? Brooke Burke is hot and Eva isn't so bad either. Like any of you losers could really do better. :-)
14. manunited - March 1, 2006 11:47 AM
In response to #6... what happened to Simpson's voice is called "Dick Sucking Disease". It happens when you suck too much dick and then swallow a lot. Leads to a lot of phlegm & lockjaw, which in turn makes you sound like a dying cat when you try to sing. But I'm no doctor...
15. MustangLaura - March 1, 2006 11:53 AM
YUP Its Official .. He's Ugly ... big chin big nose big jaw big forhead big hands big arms ... teenie tiny dick PLUS the dude likes to wear womens shoes .... Fucking Freak. Him and HoHan Just Need To Screw. But our luck would be they would have an ugly baby tom cruise would go even more insane and his ugly baby would challenge nicks ugly baby to a duel .. making it war of the cribs .. and it would be the end of all man kind as we know it. proving that scientology might be valid. Someone just save us all and kill HoHan now.... seriously ... do it .
16. hafaball - March 1, 2006 11:54 AM
Shit...I guess he's smarter than I thought. It'd be funny if he just stripped naked in the middle of shooting and said, "Yeah, this is how I exercise, you should try it Brooke!"
17. Olichka - March 1, 2006 11:54 AM
I used to think Nick was a down to earth guy. Lifting and draggin his own furniture through the balcony, killing his own bee hive, yellin at Jessica every time she blew a few thousand on sheets. But now he's just gone too far.
Why does everything touched by Hollywood turn to shit?
Friends ask me to go to California with them, check out the scene, I just laugh softly and turn my head..."I'll pass", I say..."I don't want to get AIDS of the soul".
18. GothamGuy - March 1, 2006 11:57 AM
Oh, Kevin...Speak for yourself -- I've done much better, trust me. I'm sure the majority of guys would agree with me that it's mainly computer nerds and former dungeons & dragons gold club members who fall all over girls like Brooke Burke and Eva Longoria. You operate on the "celeb magazine curve" -- this means that basically you think anyone on the cover of OK! is hot because a gay magazine editor says so.
19. MustangLaura - March 1, 2006 11:57 AM
Is nick the new burger king guy ??
20. L.ronhubbard - March 1, 2006 12:14 PM
Hey GG,
Mmm...alien deli chicks. Now, we're talking. I work in the Village but most of the folks who work in delis are little Mexican dudes who call me "chief" or "boss". I appreciate the compliments but I'd trade them all in for my own little moonmaiden who can slice and dice a tasty Reuben sandwich.
21. GothamGuy - March 1, 2006 12:18 PM
You all, my posting has reached dork level amounts. But I made an oversight so grave, that I must post one more time -- and not even Kevin's reply to my reply will make me reply.
But PuppyLvr (Post #2) is a genius not just for agreeing with me, or unearthing a forgotten treasure from my childhood. No, this person is a mastermind because of the Muffy/Today's Special comparison to Eva Longoria. Please paste this into Google images... "Today's Special AND muffy" . The comparison is so hilarious and accurate if it leaks out, Eva’s people may sue PuppyLvr for ending her career.
22. layla - March 1, 2006 12:27 PM
Nick Lachey is nothing but a loser, and this really should be the end of his career as far as I am concerned. 98 Degrees sucked ...a serious wanna-be-backstreet boys, and ...what else has he got? No one watched that stupid Newlywed show for HIM. They watched to see his bimbo (ex)wife talk about tuna ...What a Bobblehead. Anyway, now he is too busy trying to get spousal support from his wife, when he is the bastardo who cheated! Get some balls, man. This is the same case as Halle and Eric, support yourself - and if he wanted to stay rich, he should have stayed with the nana, not blow it for some college skins. Well, sorry fellas, but you have to be smarter than that, the guys a bust, and 500k is nothing compared to the millions that Boblehead has on him, which hopefully he never sees another dime of ...LOSER!
23. Kevin - March 1, 2006 12:29 PM
Let's test that theory... :-)
GothamGuy? More like GothamGay! You're imaginary comix grrrlfriends don't count.
It's all cool, dude, I'm just kidding.
24. Zanna - March 1, 2006 12:32 PM
Has anyone had any LadeeBug or PapaHotNuts sightings?
25. sammygirl - March 1, 2006 12:41 PM
This infomercial has been playing for a while now on FoodTV (around 6am PST, 9am EST). Lachey is exercising on one of those inflatable balls. He looks like a total dork. Brooke Burke is her usual overrated self - rockin' body, not so nice face.
26. layla - March 1, 2006 12:42 PM
Hey, what the deal? Why is everyone concerned of the whereabouts of these two? Honestly, I do wonder where LadeeBug has been ...
27. gogoboots - March 1, 2006 12:54 PM
I would do him, he seems like a comfy, down-hone kinda guy. And he tries to make an honest buck on what he knows best...infomercials!
28. Foxbase Alpha - March 1, 2006 1:04 PM
MTV should do a new show following Nick and his brother Drew. They should call it "The Divorcé and the Dancer". They could have some wild brotherly antics, like moving cheap IKEA furniture into Nick's little apartment and the two of them polishing Drew's Dancing With The Stars disco ball trophy.
29. stacyrose - March 1, 2006 1:04 PM
bla bla bla.. he cheated on JS. He is a complete LOSER. If he is making .5M to roll on a ball and make a fool out of himself, where JS is making 1.5 M, for being in a movie or something.. and she probably won't be looking anywhere as pathetic as this guy.
PS- NSYNC wasn't that bad though. I liked their Christmas CD. I'd never PAY for it, got it free in the mail. But, still, I played it a few times at xmas.
Peace

mr.superficial - i think you should consider cut-offs and become a never nude
31. Munchkin - March 1, 2006 1:11 PM
Looks like Joe Pimpson has his droids working hard to bash poor Nick. Lest we forget that Jessica spread her legs for Knoxville, Magera, and the weird looking guy from Maroon 5. I like Nick (and refuse to believe the Pimpson smear campaign against him). And if he wants to do an infomercial a la Jessica's ProActive, more to him. And it's not HER millions anyway. She wouldn't be anywhere without the show, which resulted form her marriage, which he is 50% part of. I hope he gets every dime.
32. TaiTai - March 1, 2006 1:33 PM
All you folks who wonder where PapaHotNuts and LaydeeBug have gone, please see the "help wanted" ad at the top of the page. Actually they have been working for this site for a while and they are both the same person. No mystery there except for why we have a story here about Nick Lachey, aren't there a lot more interesting people out there in the world? Didn't I hear Anna Nicole Smith had a rally on the mall in Washington today? I mean, aliens are really taking over our world and Nick Lachey doesn't qualify -- he is actually escaping the aliens!
33. Spindoc - March 1, 2006 1:55 PM
THANK YOU about the Brook Burns and Eva Longoria comments!!! Another woman that the magazines have been spending YEARS trying to convince us that she is hot is Gwenyth Paltrow. For years they keep telling us how beautiful she is and for years I've been thinking "Huh? Is there somebody else in the picture I'm not seeing because they COULDN"T be talking about HER!"
34. Camille C - March 1, 2006 3:30 PM
#4 and #31.
Right on!
35. A2ROX - March 1, 2006 4:08 PM
No one knows if Nick cheated, and half a mil for an infomercial is awesome. Jessica's only getting double that for her movie, Employee of the Month, in which she only speaks like 806 words or something like that. Nick's smart. I wish him luck and that he gets half of everything, b/c he helped make her image.
36. gogoboots - March 1, 2006 4:13 PM
there is no way in hell he cheated on baby jessica. she's not exactly ugly, she may be as dumb as a door nob, but she has huge knockers and a killer bod. so there's no way nick would cheat on her, in fact, it's more like jessica cheated on him, cause she's such a stupid slut.
37. Cratylus - March 1, 2006 6:33 PM
PuppyLuvr,
Eva might actually be interesting if she rhymed everything she says.

I'm with you Rachel. JS would be owning that middle square on Hollywood Squares if it wasn't for her hooking up with Nick and doing Newlyweds. I've heard my cat fart a better tune.

Post 2 = Funniest Post about Eva Longoria EVER!
41. becca11 - March 2, 2006 12:31 PM
#1 you're kind of a liar. I've lived in new york, and didn't see too many better than brooke burke. Do you have eyes? have you seen her body?
Maybe I understand the eva longoria thing... they aren't bad looking either one. I wouldn't say they are below average....
42. becca11 - March 2, 2006 12:34 PM
jillybobilly, and gotham, who do you think looks good? How could you see her in bathing suite and look at her nostrils?? you are obviously a gay man. you probably try to find fault in every woman... im sure that if you are male you are homosexual, but not out... women just have too many flaws... thats why you don't find them attractive. It couldn't be because you prefer men instead... right?
43. GothamGuy - March 3, 2006 11:51 AM
Becca, a few things for you to chew on:
#1. No one here said they are not attractive, just not as hot as tabloids make them out to be. And I can't be "kind of a liar" for stating my opinion, you moron.
#2. You are clearly the fat chick of your crew as you are primed to defend prettier girls.
#3. In light of that fact, shut your CPU off and go for a run. I’m about as gay as you are thin.
I'm sorry for liking true beauties who are actually useful. Brooke Burke is talentless and worthless -- guess that's why you can relate. Probably spent a summer in the Bronx -- you don't even live here, so don't tell me I'm wrong, hog.
44. Hotmamma' - March 3, 2006 4:31 PM
Gothamguy, Jillybobilly,and and everyone who is more blessed than everyone else in the world to know about secret holy creatures who are more beautiful than anything we have ever layed our eyes on......I am very curious is there anyone in Hollywood that you DO consider to be very beautiful? And if none of them are worthy enough to meet your standards would you mind gracing us with a photo of one of these creatures you see on a daily basis at the delli?
45. GothamGuy - March 3, 2006 4:51 PM
Sure Hotmamma...Jessica Alba, Garcelle Beauvais, Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Selma Hayek. All beautiful and unique looking.
As for you wanting me to send you photo evidence, stop being lazy and ride the 4/5/6 train in Manhattan at rush hour.
Wow, I just totally gave advice to a lesbian scouting for chicks.
46. Hotmamma' - March 3, 2006 5:20 PM
I'm sorry, Gothamguy did I offend you in someway? I'm just trying to understand your need to attack me for being curious to whom you do find attractive. We are all obviously very opinionated and that is fine but I don't think there is a need to act like 12 years olds here.
That said, I would love to take a trip to manhattan someday, but since I live on the other side of the country it might not be for a while. I know, I know, I am so lazy.
47. GothamGuy - March 3, 2006 6:20 PM
Your sarcastic tone was taken as somewhat of an insult.
Anyway, I'll stop calling you lazy if you stop challenging me to go into a deli snapping pictures like a total tool.
Just so you know, I was completely messing with you.
48. Hotmamma' - March 4, 2006 11:34 AM
Yeah I guess I did sound sarcastic. I've actually been mistaken for Eva Longoria a few times so when I read this archive I couldn't help but feel somewhat insulted. Also I was frusterated because if you go to Jessica Alba's archive, or any other celebrity for that matter, all people do is tear them apart and go on about how hideous they are, it's like no one is ever good enough. But LESSON LEARNED today: No matter who you are and how you look you can never please everyone.
49. Zachariah - March 5, 2006 3:14 AM
Wow, Lachey better watch his back. I'm afraid the Burger King may kick his ass if he sees him working out with Brooke Burke. Be careful who's lady you mess with Nicky, it's a cold-cold world we're livin' in.
50. becca11 - March 6, 2006 12:51 AM
gotham fag, im an excercise science major, like eva longoria once was, and i am thin. no one's body compares to brooke burke. jessica alba is gorgeous but even she has chubby knees. brooke' body is perfection.
51. leyanne - March 6, 2006 7:32 AM
i think Nick was really a poor guy looking for someone who can depend with. he doesn't have balls after all. he said he has a great life but if he continued his being so pathetic that would end him up called as " Drew's poor brother!" hehe! fight for it Jessica, i know you can do it.

I just sent Becca on a diet pill binge. Seriously, that girl probably sits in front of the mirror saying, "I am thin...I am thin." Crazy is the only word that comes to mind.
Becca, no matter how much you combine excercise, or study the science of not being fat, there's nothing you can do about your mug : ).
55. Casinos Online - October 18, 2007 2:12 AM
I think Nick is really poor cause he had to spend so much time with the crazy Jessica. How is he doing? can anybody please call the doc!
