I got the feeling that Nick doesn't do it very often and to Jessica it is just like a hobby.

Isnt anyone going to comment on how Jessica asks for Nick's help in the house keeping department!! Who else LOL when they showed her trying to figure out how to use Downy? and then calling Nick for help. Arent the directions still on the bottles of Downy? I'll bet Jessica thinks since she's always had money, she always will. How much is an investment is a diamond watch? Am I the only one who thought it was just way toooo gaudy?

Yes, that watch was way guady and flashy - but if you notice the one he took off to put on the new one was also guady and flashy. So, the watch is something he'd like. Maybe it's the style that boy band members go for? - I don't know, I've never been in a boy band. LOL It's the price that get me - Yikes! I agree the Jessica doesn't get what not having money means. I don't think she really understands what $50,000 means or $2,400. I guess Nick did before he became famous. If I was those two I'd be socking away a significant percentage of every check. Yeah, spend some of it, have fun, go a little crazy, they earned it. But don't go crazy with 100% of it - figuring more is coming from the same place - because you don't know how long it will last. They are both very talented, but I get the feeling L.A. is full of talented people who have zilch money wise.

I saw them on some talk show, and she said that this year they get a money manager who puts her on a budget.

I wouldn't mind going on one of her shopping sprees. It kills me to watch when most of us are on a budget.

It drives me crazy to see people waste so much money on frivolous things. I know if you're rich you should be able to buy whatever you want, whenever you want, but enough is enough. I hope Nick and Jessica are saving some of their money. You never know when your fame will run out or your career will lose steam.

Jessica's mom is the biggest enabler. She was telling her what to buy. I honestly think that her parents are living vicariously through her. I wouldn't want to be at my daughter's husband's birthday party and watch my daughter dancing around in not much for him. I mean, that's great for my daughter and her husband, have fun, but should I be there?

Ohiomobprincess, I agreee with you. It kills me that Jessica goes to these stores where you know they probably mark things up 500%! I also have a thing about sheets. I will say that Egyptian Cotton sheets are very soft and they do last forever. I bought a set in 1994. Notice that I said, "a set". I paid $300.00 for them on sale of course. The retail price was $900.00. I sleep on them every night. I think that was my my last big splurge in life. With two kids in college now I will not be replacing those sheets until 2008, at least. At what point do people stop looking at the price of things? I always feel like I'm getting ripped off if I pay the "original price" for anything. I head straight for the sale rack.

Ohio, it's hard when Oprah (and they have been on her show) constantly is harping on "buying the highest thread count sheets you can offord"! LOL But I agree with you. Mamie, now granted, I wasn't in a bustier popping out of a cake, but both sets of parents came to my hubby's 40th and my folks hosted mine and there was alot of dancing going on...some even "dirty dancing" and I don't think we offended either set or they were living vicariously through us. They were also their for 30th's too...couldn't imagine not having my folks with me for a special occason.

I finally saw the 'sheets' episode. It's funny that everyone is harping on Jessica for spending $1,400 on sheets, but no one says a word about Nick purchasing TWO video game machines and renting a very large fork lift to move them inside. Hmmmm... I'm pretty sure Nick spent more than Jess here. LOL. Also, I think very nice sheets are a good way to spend a little mad money, and that price doesn't really seem out of this world to me. I tried to find simple, 100% cotton sheets last summer. Even with a low thread count you could spend several hundred on a full set for a queen or king size bed, so $1,400 for really, really nice ones? Go for it. Anyway - these two are getting cuter to me and are picking on each other less. I love that Jess wanted to watch Fried Green Tomatos and Nick Scarface. LOL. The epitome of the Male/female movie dichotomy in a nutshell. And, the ultimate compromise - I'll watch your film as long as there is some romance. LOL. I try to be sophistocated but I can't guess the number of times I've said something just like Jess when it comes to movie choice. I felt bad for all those poor dead birds. Big new house with big picture windows - not good for birdies. I think the editing is much better this season. I'm really enjoying it.

This season started out slow, but I'm starting to get into it. I can see a bit of tension between the couple, but that's natural. I hope Nick's career takes off again. My favorite moment from the new season so far is when Nick and Drew showed up for lunch dressed as twins (accidentally).

My sister and I do that sometimes. It was hilarious! I'm getting a huge laugh out of the promos for the next show re the rumors of Jessica being pregnant. Jess in the hotel bathroom "I'm just making sure the rumors aren't true". LOL!

I rewatched this episode and I have to say Jessica's mom is bothering me. She says to Jessica, "You're not pregnant , are you?" Too me that 's like saying "You're not going to wear that, are you?" You know what I mean? It seems like any mom concerned if it is true, would say Do you think you might be pregnant honey or something to that effect. I just think that her parents are living through her and it bothers me. I don't know why.

Mamie, I can't exactly put my finger on it either, but her parents bother me, too. I suppose that they are her managers, and that she wants them there, but if I were Nick I wouldn't want them around and I'm not very impressed by them. They don't seem especially businesslike or very mature, and they don't seem to have a life of their own, like you said.

I found this article on E!... thought you all might be interested. (This is not the full article) ------------------------------ Reality TV's dimmest duo, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, are proving extremely savvy at extending their 15 minutes in the spotlight. The camera-friendly twosome has inked a deal with ABC to make like Sonny and Cher in a one-off TV special called The Nick and Jessica Variety Hour April 11. (One can only imagine that boffo ratings will turn this special into a weekly event.) The Newlyweds stars will sing, dance and make funny with a variety of guests, including Jewel, Babyface, Kenny Rogers, Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench, Mr. T, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Lachey is scheduled to perform a duet of Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life" with Babyface, while Simpson and Jewel will sing "Who Will Save Your Soul."

Hi guys, sorry but I have a question. I saw a promo for the season finale of Newleyweds, but I don't understand when it came/will come on. I just spent a while on the MTV site and it was no help. Tivo thinks it's not on the next two weeks. Did anyone watch tonight at 10? Was it the skiing episode or the finale? Why don't I have better things to do? Hee.

It is/was tonight. It's the Valentine's Day episode. It will repeat all week, I'm sure.

The Valentine's Day episode was a nice ending of the second season. The new season starts in June.

Thanks, I'm an idiot, when I sat down after posting, Tivo had the episode waiting for me. Anyway I really enjoyed it, it was cool to see Jessica doing Valentine's for Nick and not vice/versa. How funny that Nick really didn't enjoy the Ferrari. It did seem a little lame after all. But a sweet idea.

well, that's how much i know about kids these days. who the hell are they? jessica simpson? so what? what is she known for? and what boy band for nick? who is he? i saw them on some awards thing and they were not very well liked by the crowd IMO and then i caught part of one newlywed show and thought it was just another paris hilton chick and some guy who fell for her. i'm gonna ask my daughter.

She started out as a Christian singer as a child and has been on the charts (not a Brittany) for a while. Nick was in 98 Degrees.
