Jessica Simpson reportedly made on last ditch effort to keep Nick Lachey before their divorce became final. But Nick had already started dating sultry MTV host Vanessa Minnillo and he has been with his new gal for about two months.

In post-Jessica 'Nick dating time,' that's like a year.
Now Us Weekly drops some hints on why he chose Vanessa over Jessica. “She’s a guys’ girl,” a friend of the couple tells the weekly magazine.

“Jessica was always about going somewhere that was a scene with a big entourage. Vanessa can play darts and chill.” Minnillo also scores points for being a fellow sports nut. Whereas Simpson rolled her eyes at Lachey’s passion, Minnillo revels in it.
In fact, when she and Lachey were still in the platonic friendship stage, “Nick commented on his love for the [hometown NFL team], Cincinnati Bengals and Vanessa blew him away by running off the team’s poor stats,” says a Lachey source. “He tells friends, ‘It’s like talking to your best guy friend, but she’s a smoking-hot chick.’”
Hey, the Bengals made the playoffs last season - what is she talking about?

According to the blog at Us, and on a snarkier, note, a Minnillo pal adds that “Nick keeps telling Vanessa the difference between her and Jessica is that she is extremely intelligent.”
Ouch. They do make a cute couple.
