While Jessica Simpson’s Away, Nick Lachey Will Play

The Boston Herald reports Nick Lachey seemed to be having a helluva time playing bachelor at the Circus Maximus bash in Houston ahead of the Super Bowl. Scantily clad women were pining to get up close and personal with the 98 Degrees star, but they had to pass muster with his brother and bandmate Drew first. “Drew was screening them,” said one close observer. “And Nick had girls all over him all night.” Nick’s wife Jessica Simpson had not yet arrived in Houston.
