Simpson, Lachey officially call it quits

No more denials. No more faking it. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have announced that they're going their separate ways.

No matter how many times they tried to put a good face on it, when there are persistent rumors that a separation in the wind you can bet that it's just a matter of time before they have to fess up. She's one of the hottest stars on the market today, and he is...umm...pretty much nobody. How long was that destined to last?

If you ever caught an episode of their reality show, it was plain that he didn't respect her as a person. He pretty much regarded himself as a better person than she was, and it always mystified me as to why she would tolerate a has-been treating her that way. Evidently it was just a matter of time until she figured that out too.

Sorry Nick: you screwed up: you might have been tired of being Mr. Jessica Simpson, but given the fact that you haven't done a thing with yourself since 98 Degrees' last album, you're going to have a lot of time on your hands to think about it wasn't that bad after all...

Welcome back to the market Jessica! It's Thanksgiving for single guys indeed!
