Nick on Jessica: I Can't Believe It's This Big of a Story'

0130lacheysimpson.jpg

Nick Lachey spoke to "Extra" about the recent media attention ex-wife Jessica Simpson has received about her weight, saying, "I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she's happy -- whatever size that comes in."

The singer is shocked by the story's media coverage, admitting, "I can't believe it's this big of a story and people are making such a huge deal about it. I'm never ceased to be amazed by people's reactions to things."

Lachey, 35, and Simpson, 28, were married from 2002 to 2006 and starred in the successful MTV reality show "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica" for three seasons.

Lachey spoke to "Extra" while in Tampa for the Super Skins Celebrity Golf Classic. The star is raising money for the Nick Lachey Foundation and Jimmy Johnson Foundation. Lachey says, "The point is for everybody to have a chance to earn some valuable money for their charity... Everyone who played last year, had such a great time, [they] came back this year....We're very fortunate."

Nick and NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson will host a bevy of athletes, actors, musicians and models in the golf classic on January 31 -- and last year's Super Skins weekend raised more than $400,000 for multiple charities! To get involved in this amazing weekend, go to SuperSkinGolf.com.

Nick and Jessica made the perfect couple. They both look like they are fish out of water now. Maybe they are having fun with Tony & Vanessa but it isn’t the same love they had together. Neither is in a rush to get married so maybe they will find each other again:)

Jessica is very tiny in person and is actually thin. She is short and curvy so photographs heavier. Either way, she is still gorgeous and healthy. Nick’s girlfriend Vanessa looked better before she lost a lot of weight in the past year. She looks aneroxic now while Jessica look normal. Why is it when Nick got a beer gut last year nobody cared? The press really encourages eating disorders. They are trashing Jess for gaining and Lindsay for losing.

Nick is a sweetheart. At least he’s defending his EX. Look everyone Jessica is happy, leave the girl alone. People gain and loose. People tend to gain weight cause their happy. Before you start criticizing look at yourself. She’s beautiful from the inside and out. Now quit talking.

Why are they even covering her cause she NOT A GOOD actress and she’s NOT a good singer, and the ONLY reason she got ANY attention at all was cause of that reality show she did on MTV while married to Nick that HER DAD got for them.Cause she Sings VERY BADLY and is an AWFUL actress. Only her sister Ashley has the stuff to do both.Not her.

He is a class act. He defends his ex and never rubs his current relationship in her face. He is a respectful and caring human being. I only wish other celbs would follow suit.

He has ALWAYS rubbed it in her face. He told the press he loved Jessica yet Vanessa was seen making out with him in the pool or hot tub! Nick is all about Nick. The nice guy act is just for the cameras. He relationship with Vanessa is just about parties and vacations. Tony and Jessica are the real deal. Nick is bitter and it shows in his aging face. He isn’t that hot anymore,either.

Nick will use Jessica to sell his new album once again. He seems very fake and I’m sure he loves it when the press beats her up.

Proving once again who had the class in that relationship……what goes around comes around, and this time Jess has to pay for her poundage, just like she got paid for her soapy car-washed butt “talent.” Payback ain’t easy, is it?

he is such a gentleman. still watching out for her. Jessica S. - since I know you are reading this - He really seems like a gem. -

as for her weight issue, maybe she is pregnant. No matter whatever it is, she has her sister and her fans that love her!

I am so glad Nick defended her. I have wathched all there newly wed shows and I do miss them together but people do grow apart. Jessica you are a wonderful role modle to teenagers and Nick you just showed all the guys how what a real man is. Defending her was a really great thing to do. Jessica has always look beutiful. Keep up the good work being a role modle.

The Media has gone to f’n far this time. It is not for any human to judge another. Whether this woman is 400lbs. or 40lbs it’s not your business. Whatever happen to the days when artist used their celebrity to promote their work? Now all you promote is negativity. You put them together when they aren’t, you can’t wait until they have a baby whether married or not or legal or not, you swear that just because A went out with C numerous times that they must be dating. They can’t have a private moment such as a wedding or even a funeral without you wanting to be right there in their faces. No one has the right to know that much about anyone else. Just because you buy their music or go see their movies doesn’t mean you own stock in that person or group. Do you want people to know that much about you? What if they flipped the script and asked you if you think the outfit you have on makes you look like a drag queen? Or if your co host thinks you should wear less makeup? Human Being has things they are sensitive about. Have you ever thought about the S**t you say might just push someone over the edge? Respect the Privacy!
