Nick and Jessica need to let God control their relationship and not the materielistic ways of society. I think if they lead their lives for God and give back to the community and the church then they will have a much more healthier marriage. Money and fame mean nothing in this world. Only what is done for God matters. Where will money and fame get you in Heaven? The answer is nowhere.

They need to put their lives in control of God.

Just my two cents.

samsam-u guys r gay...hu's the we? okay, barbies? wtf? u guys have serious mental issues. and ur 34? ok...that's a little weird.and ur kids? god...

Nick and Jessica are an amazing couple. We are so obsessed with them. We even play barbies pretending we are them. It's fun. You should try it! Don't worry-we're only 34. Our kids think it's hysterical but it's so much fun. How do you people say it these days? Lol? Wow, okay, we better get back to our kids. Talk to you all later.

I love Nick and Jessica. Nick is as hott as hell and Jessica is gorgeous. Newlyweds is the best show ever. Nick and Jessica make a great couple. Yes, Jessica may say some dumb and stupid things on Newlyweds but that's her and that's what makes the show funny. I would LOVE to meet either Nick, Jessica, or both. I think I'm their BIGGEST fan. I hope Nick and Jess do at least one other season of Newlyweds.

I love the show,I think Jessicas mom has an annoying voice and her dad looks a little out of it..kinda crazy haha. But Dude, they film them every now and then, not every day, so of course you all are stupid if you actualy think that she acts that way 24/7. She has a great life, she is hella pretty, nice ass husband (tho i prefer nicks brother who is cuter, cheerful and funny) Anyways, they got money looks, and she may not be hella popular with her music , but she is popular enough to earn money, have fans and have a nice life. Id love to meet them someday.

Joe Simpson is a sick fuck. Jessica was daddy's little fuck piece growing up and they kept her stupid so she wouldn't know anything was wrong. Why would a "Christian" family talk so much about sexuality? Why do her parents follow her everywhere everyday and watch her make out with her husband and watch her and Nick shoot that crappy soft-porn video Sweetest Sin? Obviously to anyone that has half a brain and uses it, Jessica is the retard of the new millenium. But even if she's acting stupid to sell herself, doesn't that still make her stupid since she obviously has trouble selling the only other thing she has, music? This girl has no self-esteem and her ego is stroked consistently by her horny father. Jessica is a spoiled, selfish, bratty, self-centered, uncaring, and just plain fuckng retarded. The only thing she's good for to Nick is being a jizz bucket. If I knew someone like Jessica and she ever talked to me like does to others I would beat her ass, and thoroughly enjoy it. What people don't understand about famous people is that they are ORDINARY. But ordinary doesn't sell. So make-up artists, hair stylists, publicists, producers, etc. create them an extra-ordinary image to sell. That's why stars become so arrogant and rude because the public makes them who they are and then they start believing that they are really that extra-ordinary person. They lose sense of who they REALLY are because they only get the attention they love when they are pretending to be someone else, with this extra-ordinary image. I hope a sex tape of Nick and Jess leaks out. I know exactly what would be on it. Nick would be wanting that hummer and Jess would say "What? Like the car?" and Nick would say "No, like a blow-job." Then dumb ass fat titted bitch Jess would just start blowing air on his dick. And for all you that think Jess is so great, you all and her must share a brain.

I can't believe all of the negative writings on Nick and Jessica. I stumbled across this website and feel that some of the people that clearly dislike Jessica are wasting their time writing such long paragraphs about her. If you don't like someone, why waste your time bitching about them?

Who cares if someone acts dumb? Jessica is clearly enjoying her life, and why shouldn't she? I think we all would if given the wonderful opportunity she has. The joke may be on all of you if you think about it. Whether it's all an act or not, Jessica's the one making the big bucks. Good for her is all I have to say. And what makes all you people so smart anyway? If you want my opinion I am sensing a whole lot of hostility based on jealousy and it's the saddest thing. I'm sure Nick and Jessica aren't even aware of your comments and that's a good thing. They're the winners in my opinion.

Hi everyone, like with everyone in this area of threaded discussions I hhave some things to say about the show that we love to hate but seem to can't live without at times. I read alot of these posts and most of them have to do with Jessica being stupid. Well unless we know Jessica personally we really can't determine if she is really stupid or just playing "stupid" to increase the ratings for the network which is a smart idea from the producers. I also read in magazines that Jessica was just acting like a dumb blonde because guys really like it when girls don't know crap! I would have to disagree with that because the last time I checked most guys would love to have a girl that knows what the hell is going out there besides, clothes, money, and sex. Alot of people said that Nick probably won't even stick around...well he has lasted this long so maybe he will. Before when Newlyweds was not aired and when she was just a regular pop star trying to make it noone really knew her as the dumb blonde and her career was in trouble...ok, ok, ok...she SUCKED! But since the show she has had numerous career moves here and there. Her music isn't all that popular but she seems to be hitting it off quite well with the Newlywed show. Another thing to add to this is, "Hey Nick and Jessica if you guys are reading my post then remember that a marriage only lasts so long in the spotlight until it burns out and ends in divorce" And if you guys really want to be together than maybe you guys should really re-consider having your marriage under a microscope for the whole world to watch. Sure its fun in the first couple of seasons but that won't last. Good luck anyways! :)

I love Jessica and Nick. When you watch all the episodes of Newlyweds then you would know that Jessica is not the way ya'll describe her to be. She has a future and Practically I really think she dont even read these. But if she does then ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves. Ya'll have said some things that could really hurt someones feeligns. What if you were married and she said the same thing about you. It wouldnt be nice would it? No it wouldnt. Well i really dont care what other ppl say about me cuz i remembered what my mom told me STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK YOUR BONES BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME!! so Jessica if you read this remember what i just said. Dont worry about what other people say about you, cuz i dont. This world that we are living in the people in are probably people that are JELOUS of the people who are famous. Jessica and Nick ya'll are some lucky people. Dont let no 1 take that away. Bye!!

I love Jessica and Nick... I just can't get enought of them!! My friends all think I am silly, I'm sure... but I can't help but think they aren't too much different that anyone else!! IF I had a filming crew following me around i think I would have stylists on hand 24/7 too!! Of coarse we see their spats... who wants to see them doing the normal things like successfully doing laundry or doing homework...I just love them and I dont care who knows it! :) If I could afford $4,000 sheets I would sleep much better than I do on my TJ Max specials!!

i think jessica and nick make a good couple .avery couple has flaws they have to over come with each other.jessica is learning the married life and enjoying and lover her life these days .. i just wish people would give her a liltle credit once in a great while!!! hey just because evry one has there own way of doing things does not mean that she is wrong for buying 4,000 dollars sheets for her self. she deserves it i think!!

Just when you thought there were no more variations on the "Just how dumb is Jessica Simpson?" jokes comes a whole new take on the reality TV star's lack of smartness. Is Jessica Simpson a functional illiterate? (meaning that she knows her alphabet and knows how to sign her name, but she cannot read?) She has famously confused the contents of the Chicken of the Sea tuna with actual chicken and believed that Buffalo wings are made of real buffalo meat - helping to make "Newlyweds" one of MTV's highest-rated shows. ("Pulling a Jessica" has become slang for general cluelessness, heard from the playground to CNN.) But recently, some fans have speculated whether Simpson suffers from problems greater than ditziness. On the "Newlyweds" recent season finale, Jessica's husband, former boy band member Nick Lachey, gave her a Valentine's Day card. She handed the card back to him, saying that she couldn't read his handwriting and that he should read it to her - which he did. This caused many hard-core fans to speculate as to whether Simpson is in fact illiterate - and that her helpless act was a cover for a disability. "She claimed that the writing was too sloppy, but the excuse was straight out of some After School Special," says Stephen Falk, who recaps the series for the Web site televisionwithoutpity.com, whose forums have been abuzz with the theory since the finale aired two weeks ago. "While watching all 10 episodes this season," Falk continues, "it became clear that Jessica can't read. While I'm being a bit facetious, there are tons of examples of Jessica pawning things off to other people for them to read." "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard," says Brad Cafarelli, Simpson's publicist, of the claim.

Let's examine the evidence:

1.In the back of a limo, on her way to tape a segment for VH-1, Simpson says she can't read her script because she'll get car sick.

2.While staying at a hotel in New York, she couldn't figure out which room she was in - even though the hotel keys had the room's number printed on them.

3.She couldn't figure out the directions for payment methods at a gas station pump - even though they were written on the pump.

4.She constantly gives her husband presents, but is never shown giving him a card.

5.Even with the infamous Chicken of the Sea incident, the can clearly says "tuna."

Marty Finsterbusch, executive director of Voice for Adult Literacy United for Education (VALUE), explains that most adults who can't read have a set of coping mechanisms, including a strong support network of people who know their secret, a good memory, and the ability to think on their feet. Simpson, who is surrounded by her doting parents, protective husband, and assorted hangers-on, fits that profile. When asked to explain how someone from an upper-middle class home who attended private schools - like Simpson - could possibly not read, Falk says, "She's had a life not unlike some athletes who slip through the school system while remaining functionally illiterate. It's probably a combo of general lack of brain power, a sheltering family, and a culture that rewards hot women for being clueless and ripe for a man to take care of them." Regardless of any difficulties with reading, Simpson is a bit of a financial whiz: there's the launch of her edible line of beauty products, "Dessert," a variety show on ABC airing April 11, and a TV pilot in the works (she'll play a ditzy TV reporter).

Still, Finsterbusch thinks that money can't solve a problem like this - and that if Simpson is functionally illiterate, she could use her fame to help others. "People assume that adults who can't read are all on welfare," he says. "We could use a celebrity role model."

I copied the previous message because I felt it needed emphasizing since it is exactly the way that I feel about the Newlyweds show.

Her parents clearly figured education took a back seat to singing at backwater gigs; in one episode, she uses the word "facetious," and after the people she's with recover from the shock of hearing that come out of her mouth, she explains that it was an SAT word from the tests she never took. She has no hobbies and no outside interests; whatever fun stuff we've seen on the show, from golfing to swimming with dolphins, has been at Nick's urging. She is quite possibly the most cerebrally inert entity on television. Being dull isn't necessarily evil in and of itself, but I think the Simpsons further wrecked their older child by spoiling her rotten. Because she was evidently raised in hotel rooms as she shuffled from third-string engagement to third-string engagement, Jessica didn't have to do chores: not only did this leave her ill-equipped for doing basic household maintenance; it apparently also gave her the idea that everything, from doing laundry to killing bees, had to be farmed out to professionals. If ever anyone needed a crash course in self-sufficiency, it's this girl. The only thing that seems to motivate Jessica is having other people pay attention to her. This is possibly the closest thing she has to a self-identity, and it's entirely understandable if your parents molded you at an impressionable age to believe that your only value as a person was as the object of someone else's attention. She's her parents' creation, and Newlyweds should be required viewing for any bug-eyed mom or dad who's channeling their thwarted ambition through their child. The show should also be required viewing for anyone considering marriage to the person who won't give them nooky, because it shows what happens when two people who are deeply deluded about one another finally wake up from their fantasies. In Jessica's case, it involves pulling the covers back over her head and complaining that she has to pee. In Nick Lachey's case, it's more like lurching around their relentlessly bland McMansion with the look of someone trapped in a nightmare. It's easy to sympathize with Nick until you remember that he married his child bride of his own free will after a very lengthy courtship. It must be frustrating to be at career crossroads while saddled with a spouse who's shocked at the news that bears shit in the woods, and Lachey gets points for generally going through life with a fairly clear head -- but he gets no pass on Jessica. The way he treats her -- waiting until she's out of town to decorate their house, not sticking up for his wife when his brother and his friends make fun of her, and winning arguments by taking advantage of the fact that she can't follow the logic in 1+1=2 -- may be a manifestation of his misery. However, he made his bed here. Since Jessica was not exactly shy about discussing her premarital virginity in the media -- and the minister who officiated at their wedding apparently had no problem effectively telling the congregation, "If they leave in a hurry tonight, you'll know why, hyuk, hyuk!" -- one is left with the impression that the only thing that keeps these two together is sex. And it doesn't even seem like particularly good sex: in one of the most creepy episodes aired, Jessica and Nick made a video for her song "Sweetest Sin" that involved the two of them writhing and licking and humping -- all while her parents watched and her dad made comments about the state of his daughter's hymen and her desire to catch up on what she had been missing. In another episode, Nick asks about getting a hummer and Jessica replies in all seriousness, "What? The car?" If Jessica and Nick are supposed to be the case for premarital chastity, they're doing a wonderful job of sending people screaming in precisely the opposite direction. This little situational irony, among others -- the person in the household least interested or able to pilot a successful career is the one who currently has one -- is one reason to keep tuning in to this show.

This little situational irony, among others -- the person in the household least interested or able to pilot a successful career is the one who currently has one -- is one reason to keep tuning in to this show. The other is to catalogue all the different levels of delusion constantly in play. In addition to Nick's big talk about curing Jessica of her pathetic helplessness on a five-year timetable (yeah, good luck with that one), there's also the larger Bad Idea inherent in every episode: Jessica's father is a producer on this show, and presumably able to view and approve the episode segments and their editing. Why on Earth would he think that a show depicting his daughter as an ID-controlled Barbie doll is a career-building move? I watch this show not because I get a frisson of intellectual superiority from watching Jessica Simpson, but because I'm fascinated by all the consensual suspension of disbelief that goes into maintaining the Simpson/Lachey household. Marriage requires a certain willingness to selectively maintain some illusions about yourself and your partner while relentlessly stamping out others. It's just that most of the time, what goes on in a marriage happens between two people. Here, it takes a lot of people acting willfully stupid to keep Newlyweds running. While it's a wonderful demonstration of what a marriage run by committee would be like, it's ultimately pathetic for everyone involved. Jessica is just the most obvious and tragic victim at the center of it. It's hard to feel superior after watching that.

I hope Jessica reads some of these posts and truly takes them to heart. It seems as though she has lived her life pleasing others, (her parents, the music business, and her husband)...she needs to start living her life with what she wants to do, no one else. I sincerely pray that she does, because it seems that she does not have many fans on this board. Also, I have noticed that the most recent episodes show some disturbing trends, such as Nick's quick temper when he falls down only once when learning how to ski, and his own comment during the Valentine show about his "liking to be in control". I believe that his quick temper and his need to be in control explains a little of why Jessica acts the way that she does. She tries to make him feel macho by acting helpless, to let him feel that he is in control because he happens to be male. She hides her brains because she does not want to threaten the balance of power in their relationship. It is her role to make him feel big and important. She also acts very childish to extinguish his temper, because he cannot bring himself to be mad at her 'cause it'd be like being mad at a child. I mean, a person would really be horrible for losing their temper with a child. Acting childish is the way that she deals with his temper. What she does not realize is that these tactics will not work for her in the long run because my own mother made the same mistakes that she is making. My mother made excuses for my father's behavior and temper, and she acted helpless and clueless to appease his anger and make him feel like a big man. Well, eventually his temper grew worse. Both my mother and I experienced physical, mental, and verbal abuse at the hands of this man. No one ever made my father take anger management classes. Jessica should insist that Nick start right away with these classes before they bring any children into the marriage.

I thought that you might be Jessica, herself, since you seem to take criticism of her so personally. This is a public opinion board for both loving and hating the "Newlyweds", and each person has a right to his or her own opinion. Agreeing to disagree is one of the hallmarks of civil behavior. I do not expect you to agree with me, but I also do not expect to be attacked because my opinion does not agree with yours. Public fiqures are going to be under public scrutiny. That's the price they pay for their fame and fortune. IMO, Christian women do not celebrate their sexuality in a public forum with chest-baring cleavage, sexy lyrics and videos, and public comments. I have been watching their show because I wanted to see how a young Christian woman could make it in today's music business. I found out that she makes it in the music business by changing her public image to be just like the rest of the slutty pop princesses. It is not only me, because Jessica has lost a lot of her fans since she changed her image. True, she also gained a lot of fans, as well....only she knows which image and which fans she is comfortable with. I mean, the goal of the music business is to make money, right? so who cares what type of fans you have, as long as they buy the music? Jessica is the one who ultimately has to live with her own decisions.
