Frogichik | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 09:37 am     Has anyone seen this show? It's on MTV in the Osbourne's old timeslot at 10:30 on Tuesdays. It's about Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's first year of marriage. I was laughing my but off. I swear she's almost as much of an airhead as Anna Nicole Smith. In one of the first scenes she asks Nick if she eating fish or chicken? She wasn't sure because the can said "Chicken of the Sea". She was so dead serious and he just looked at her like she had three heads. I was cracking up! I don't think she has ever done a load of laundry in her entire life. Another funny comment Jessica says about Nick is that he's such a neat freak that he always makes the bed, even when she' still in it! I thought this show was going to be horrible, but I have to admit I couldn't stop watching it. In a way it's sad that their careers aren't doing so hot and that they have to resort to doing reality TV. |
Madelane | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Well, Frogichik, you are now not alone. I saw this trainwreck. Howard Stern was talking about the tuna thing this morning and I had no idea what he was talking about until Tivo decided I would love the show. Tivo is the devil. Anyway, admitting you're spoiled is the first step, right? How hilarious will next week with the dancers be? |
Kady | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:50 pm     I caught this show tonight. It was actually amusing. I loved how she got the laundry downstairs by throwing over the banister and down to the floor. Then just looking at the pile not knowing what to do next. It looked like laundry hadn't been done in weeks. Now I agree with a house that huge they need a housekeeper. They both seem so naive...I just wonder how much is reality and how much is true. Thanks for telling me about this show Frogichik, I wouldn't have watched if not for you  |
Reader234 | Saturday, August 23, 2003 - 06:51 pm     BTW, I saw a segment on Jessica, (I knew Nick was part of 98 degrees,but totally knew nothing of Jessica...) was it on E tv, or another entertainment show>>>I'm clueless, all I can say, is I watched the MTV segment, and thought, she was a screw loose... but after seeing her bio, it made a bit more sense, more of a picture of who Jessica is... Dont get upset, because I'm not good at remembering, but she also was a child wannabe like Cristina, and Brittany (she also tried out for that remake of the Mickey Mouse Club) she got her start in the Church ceruit (sp?) so in a very small way she has led a "shelterd" life.... imho.. |
Ric_Munoz | Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 05:21 pm     They robbed that poor charwoman--$20 an hour to clean up all that mess. I can't believe she cleaned everything up all by herself! Then tightwad Nick had the nerve to suggest that he'd overpaid her. No wonder he refused to part with any moola to hire a moving company--I'm shocked he agreed to cough up the dough for the laundry maven--in cash, no less. Ms. Jessie may be an uber-bimbo, but I think Mr. Nicky is a classically-trained wacko. They're certainly more "interesting" than the Osbournes (at least for now). |
Ark | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:29 am     I don't get MTV but was at a cookout yesterday and the teenagers had this show on in the livingroom. I would watch it if I got it. I was amazed that people could be so clueless about taking care of themselves and what pigs they were. I felt so sorry for the cleaning woman. There is no way I would have tackled that mess for $20.00 an hour. The parents of Jessica ( had no idea who she was either) should be ashamed that they haven't prepared her for life any better than they have. Can anyone tell me what she was doing with that flower vase? The sound was down and I wasn't sure but it looked like she was pouring the water out of the vase and into the trash compactor. |
Kady | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:52 am     I would have tackled it for $20 an hour but it would have taken me alot longer than the 6 hours it took her, if ya know what I mean.  |
Madelane | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 11:55 am     Oh, yes, she was pouring the water into the trash compactor. She said something like, "oops, I thought this one was dry too!" And she kept calling pitifully for Nick to come help her, like she was incapable of dealing with water on the floor. |
Ark | Monday, August 25, 2003 - 12:06 pm     Well there's a way around the dilimma without seeming greedy Katy. Madelane, Thanks, I couldn't figure out what the big deal about the water on the floor. I guess I should have figured out that she didn't know how to clean it up. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - 11:45 pm     Damn it! I am so jealous! We don't get this show up here in Canada--yet. I want to see so bad! I saw a clip on Access Hollywood. Jessica was whining to her friend because Nick was auditioning young girls for his video. I wanted to see the rest! Someone tell me what happened! Please! |
Crazydog | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 11:57 am     I don't think she was trying to pour water in the trash compactor, I think she was trying to throw out the dead flowers (by tipping the vase into the compactor). It turned out that the vase still had water in it and some of the water spilled on to the floor. It was amazing to me that she didn't know how to clean it up. Scorpio, yes, he was auditioning dancers for his new video/show. She got really jealous. Other highlights of the show - she spent $750 on lingerie with nary a thought, although she did tell Nick that she didn't realize it cost so much and that they were non-refundable. They had a concert for some U.S. troops. Looked to me like it was at that mall on Hollywood and Vine, the one where they have the Oscar ceremony. She really is quite a vapid girl. However, I don't think she came off quite so poorly this time, not as bad as the "Chicken of the Sea" incident. Next week, he takes her camping. That is going to be one hilarious show. |
Lurkin | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 01:54 pm     These Newlyweds seem like they have been married 30 years! Just not alot of affection between them only at the end of the last episode. First time they have shown them even touching each other. Lots of looks of disgust between them. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 01:54 pm     Camping? Oy! Thanks Crazydog! I was dying to know about this show. |
Dahli | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 03:14 pm     Isn't this the couple who 'waited' till their wedding night....?? Looks like Lurkin's noticed it's probably not been worth the wait! LOL - Test drive before buying people!!! |
Kathat | Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - 03:42 pm     I think that is a poor message to send out Dahli. "Test driving" as you say before getting married does not guarantee anything except perhaps the chance of unwanted pregnancies or disease. I applaud her for sticking to her morals and being true. It is the first year of marriage that is hard for any couple as they are trying to figure out how to live we eachother and their different ways. And, call me crazy, but I would be a little gun shy of being so affectionate in front of all those cameras and people. I do agree she is spoiled and definately needs to grow up; however, she is young and they do seem to have a genuine love and affection for eachother. |
Avrey258 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 08:11 am     OOPS! Just realized that I started a new thread about this show yesterday. I didn't know it was called Newlyweds. Oh well. I watched this show with my daughter. We were having a good laugh over the lingerie Jessica bought. Have mercy. $750.00 and she didn't even look at the price tags? Those bras and panties must have been spun with gold thread. |
Eliz87 | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 08:23 am     My first year of marriage was not tough at all. I was friends with my husband for seven years prior, three of which included dating. And yes, naturally I did a "test drive." All of these things, IMHO, enabled our marriage to feel completely natural as soon as it began, as I KNEW who I was marrying. I'm jealous of all of you, by the way. I don't have cable so I can't watch this show! |
Dahli | Thursday, August 28, 2003 - 10:47 am     Precisely my point Eliz87, my apologies to anyone who assumed I meant 'drive' any and everything you come across....LOL! |
Ark | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:05 am     The fact that she saved herself for marriage was one of the few things I liked about this girl. Sure she could have taken Nick for a spin before the wedding night but what if she didn't like the way he drove. She'd be like millions of others out there on the streets, hopping from a convertable to a sedan to an SUV, looking for that perfect model. She liked the look & feel of this model and if it doesn't drive just the way she wants, she can always modify it until she gets the perfect ride. |
Warrenn | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 12:21 pm     [b] She'd be like millions of others out there on the streets, hopping from a convertable to a sedan to an SUV, looking for that perfect model. [/b] And maybe she would find it. Maybe she'd find someone who she loved and was sexually compatible. If she really were shopping for a car, it would be better for her to try the different models to find the one which suited her best instead of picking 'that pretty red car' and converting it into an SUV. [quote] She liked the look & feel of this model and if it doesn't drive just the way she wants, she can always modify it until she gets the perfect ride. [/quote] That might be a good fantasy, but it doesn't work that way in reality. One of the most common reasons for divorce is sexual incompatiblity. What if one of them needs it 5 times a week but the other is fine with once a month? What if Nick doesn't want to be modified into her perfect ride? Now I don't think she should have gone sleeping around with everyone she met, but her and Nick were in a committed relationship. I think it would have been better for them to go for a few test drives to see how things went. If there were any problems, they would have been able to discuss them and see if they could be fixed. And just so you know, this is coming from a guy who waited until he was married! And 14 years later, it appears some problems cannot be fixed. Some people do not want to be modified so you need to be prepared to drive that car you first bought for a long time. |
Scorpiomoon | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 01:31 pm     Are you guys absolutely sure she waited? I haven't followed Jessica's career that much (she was always eclipsed by Brintey Spears). How do we know this isn't an image stunt? |
Texannie | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 06:50 am     I have been laid up in bed, so I have been watching alot of tv. I saw several back to back episodes of this. And I really like it and them. I had read the posts here before I seen it. Yes, she is clueless and spoiled but she admits it! I can totally understand how she would be too, she has had someone waiting on her most of her life..she has no concept of what the "real" world is. My mom was great about giving us chores but he biggest pet peeve was us not picking up our clothes and we could never do it quick enough for her so she always picked them up. When I went off to college, I couldn't understand why the clothes kept piling up on the floor! LOL Nick seems to have a very clear picture of her, "yes, she is spoiled but she is great and I love her". |
Madelane | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 08:32 am     With regard to the...ahem...consummation of their marriage, I have a feeling it went well, considering how confident and sexy she must have felt to wear that knock-out outfit to the VMA's. Hello, Jessica Simpson! |
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:21 pm     Can someone clarify something for me? I know J.S was a teen pop star. But I got the impression that didn't happen until her late teens. What did she do as a child? Why was she, as Texannie wrote, ".., she has had someone waiting on her most of her life.."? Was she a child star as well? |
Texannie | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm     She said that she has been in the business since she was 14, but I get the feeling that prior to that her parents weren't having her hoe the back forty! ;) |
