THEY hang out on the balcony naked and then they cry cuz they were photographed?? lmfao!! and SHE SAYS..HER BODY IS A TEMPLE AND SHE FEELS VIOLATED???? GOD, SHE MAKES JESSICA LOOK LIKE EINSTEIN....

While they may never be able to say "adios" to the paparazzi, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo aren't sitting idly by as steamy photographs taken on their Mexican getaway make the tabloid rounds.

E! News has confirmed that Lachey has enlisted celebrity attorney Martin Singer to inform multiple magazines that they'll be playing with fire if they opt to publish the more graphic shots from a roll of film that supposedly features the singer and his TV personality paramour getting ultra-romantic in the hot tub at a private villa near Puerto Vallarta.

The July 9 issue of Life & Style already features shots of the couple frolicking on the beach, canoodling in the Jacuzzi and nakedly toweling off (with all body parts censored) on the villa's patio. But Lachey, 33, and Minnillo, 26, are obviously in no mood to see the more intimate moments of their vacation become an international event.

"As a woman, my body is a temple, it's mine," a distressed Minnillo told OK! magazine. "So it was embarrassing. But we did nothing wrong."

Lachey, DiScala Called Out for Foul Ball
Jessica Dishes on Love, Nick and The Notebook
E! Online "This is the girl that I love," added Lachey, no stranger to being caught on camera with the girl he loves. "It's tough to see someone you care about be unfairly judged. It's hard for me as a man to see my girl go through that. Everybody said it was a scandal. Where's the scandal? I was in Mexico with my girlfriend of a year, celebrating our anniversary on a private vacation.

"It's not like I was caught with a Mexican hooker. We've all gone out and had a few too many and done something stupid. We've all made mistakes. Unfortunately, as a celebrity, you're a target."

In his cease-and-desist letter to various publications, Singer has said that the photos, taken by a Mexican shutterbug on June 23 and 24, violated Mexican law and are a clear invasion of privacy, and that legal action would be forthcoming if any of the mags decided to publish the pics.

"I felt personally violated," Minnillo said. "If I was being disrespectful I would [have] expected to be punished, but I wasn't. It's wrong."

"For me, it was disheartening," Lachey said. "Is it acceptable to violate someone's private life and personal space? Is this what it's come to? We both knew when we came into this business we had to give up aspects of our privacy. But when someone is stalking you with a zoom camera lens, in my mind, that is overstepping the bounds."

The couple touched back down in Los Angeles Monday night after their publicly pleasant holiday.

When they're not able to get away from it all (or get away from nothing at all, really), Lachey and Minnillo split time between his L.A. home and her New York condo.

And, perhaps, whatever makes them almost file lawsuits together makes them stronger.

"I see even more now that Nick is the man I thought he was," Minnillo said. "He's very strong and has a good head on his shoulders. I know now he's definitely there for me. He has single-handedly pulled me through."

I use to watch newlyweds nick and jess before jess filed for a divorce and i notice in the show nick didn't do sh.it jess was working all the time and nick sat around with his brother i wonder if jess watched the show and that is why she left him because he was LAZY

lol, yeaaaaa, were does his money come from royalties?

Nick made money from being in the Backstreet Boys. I believe if I'm not mistaken that when they were first married, he had more money. When Newlyweds was first filmed she was just becoming the more famous one and making more of the money. He grew up not far from where I live and was going to buy a house in my subdivision last spring for when he comes home. Some people who do know him say he is a very humble and nice man. During Newlyweds it was Jessica who was out spending $700 on underwear and over $1000 on sheets. Him and his "Lazy" brother were moving their own furniture, and attempted to sod their own lawn to save money. I think you might have that situation a little backwards.

Nick is a cheep as.s jess is a spoil brat

oh by the way nick was not in the band called Backstreet Boys it was 98 Degrees but who can remember all the boy bands back then

Your right, there were so many at that time. Nick Carter was the Backstreet Boys, I think. Anyhow he didn't do so bad for himself, with it.

I always though Nick was so stupid and such a tightwad on newlyweds. Jess made just as much money as him and then some & he would get pissed over her spending $1400 on sheets! Heck if I was a multi millionare spending $1400 on sheets would be pocket change! LOL

I dont exactly agree..I liked Nick. I have the newly wed shows on dvd and Nick actually did stuff around the house. If you watch in some of the episodes he is the one cleaning the house and doing some of her laundry. Jess was always off and busy doing things with her career. I think that there privacy was somewhat invaded if they where in the hot tub and being photographed, although toweling off on the patio was a stupid move on there part.So I somewhat agree but somewhat disagree..

When I say the word "lazy " it means we never saw him work meaning "making money" the funny thing is when jess and nick broke up guess who made a new album i guess one could say he got inspired

You have to remember it's a tv show and they don't show their lives 24-7. I do remember him working. I believe he made a video, because Jessica went to the set of it.

no no it was jess's video she put him in the video it was called the Sweetest Sin

Where he was at lunch with 2 female dancers? Then went to the studio to shoot it. I believe that the episode where Jessica calls him after she droppped the $ on the lingerie and he was at the lunch meeting. Not the video where they were in the waterfall.

Your right yes I remember !!

lol
