Did Vanessa Plot To Steal Nick From Jessica?

Star magazine reports that Nick Lachey’s recent hook-up with ‘Total Request Live’ co-host Vanessa Minnillo has been especially tough on his ex-wife Jessica Simpson, who became friends with Minnillo after meeting at MTV in 2003. Minnillo regularly invited her to “girls’ nights out” and dinners. A source revealed that “when Jess and Nick were falling apart, Jess confided to Vanessa,” and Minnillo urged her to leave the former 98 Degrees singer.
