Nick Lachey Opens Up About Holidays & Kids: "I Think Kids Definitely Yes"
Photography by: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images
Nick Lachey is a happy man. The newly married Sing-Off host talked exclusively to OK! at the ‘Party with a Purpose’ to Benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters sponsored by Tostitos about his upcoming holiday and his future plans with his wife, Vanessa Lachey.
When OK! asked Nick how married life was going, he said he couldn't complain! "It’s awesome. I’ve said this before, it doesn’t feel that dramatically different which I think is a great thing. We were happy before and kind of put a little asterisk on it and said, 'Hey, we’re married now but nothing really changed, which is great.' "
Any kids in the future? Of course!
"I think kids definitely yes," Nick told OK!. "I think it’s the next step for she and I, but at this point we’re really enjoying married and that will come when it’s meant to come and until then, we’re enjoying being newlyweds."
What are their plans for the upcoming holidays? "We’ll be in Cincinnati." "Yeah, niece and nephew and watching kids open presents, yeah, it’s special so we’re looking forward to that."
NICK LACHEY HELPS BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS
SheKnows caught up with recording artist and TV personality Nick Lachey to chat about his work with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, his new solo album, his plans for the holidays and the possibility of kids with wife Vanessa Minnillo.
Television personality and multi-platinum recording artist Nick Lachey recently joined Tostitos to kick off the college football bowl game season in New York's Times Square. The Sing-Offhost was joined by former college and professional football greats for the "Party with a Purpose" event which benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters; an organization very special to Lachey. For the past eight years, he has been a "Big Brother" in Los Angeles and has had the same "little" who is now 15 years old.
We caught up with Lachey to talk about his brand-new album, the possibility of kids with wifeVanessa Minnillo and how he first got involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
How excited were you to be a part of the "Party with a Purpose" event?
The Fiesta in the Square sponsored by Tostitos is benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, which is an organization that I've been a part of for about eight years now. I've been a Big Brother so it's something I really believe in and have seen firsthand how impactful it can be in shaping the lives of young people. So I was very excited when they called me and asked me to be a part of it.
How did you first get involved with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization?
They'd asked me to be the spokesperson for their centennial event about eight years ago and I said that I'd love to but that I wanted to learn more about the organization and so that's when I started to get involved and became a Big Brother and have been a Big Brother ever since.
For people not familiar with Big Brothers Big Sisters, can you explain what the organization strives to do for young people across the country?
Well, what it does is it pairs an adult with a young person who may be in need of some extra mentoring and guidance. In my case, my little brother's father had passed away when he was a baby and he didn't really have a male role model in his life, so his mom signed him up for the program. It's basically about being a big brother, being a friend, being a support-system, showing these young people that someone really genuinely cares for them, is there for them and kind of being a guiding force for them. I've seen firsthand how impactful it can be and how fantastic the results can be and as a Big I can also say it's probably the most gratifying thing that I've ever done in my life. I often joke that I get more out of it than my Little does and I think that's probably true.
Is it true you're working on a new solo album?
Yeah, I'm working on it right now, I'm going to finish it up the beginning of next year hopefully by the end of February and it will come out in summer. It's called, The Soundtrack of My Life. It's a concept album, it's taking songs from movies that were meaningful to me and meaningful as I grew up and covering songs from those movies so I'm pretty excited about finishing that up and getting it out there.
Are you and Vanessa Minnillo planning on having children anytime soon?
I think we both definitely want a family and I don't think there's any timetable necessarily for that. We're just enjoying being newlyweds and certainly that will come when the time's right; it's definitely something we look forward to at some point.
The Sing-Off has become a very popular singing competition on TV. Will you return next year as the host?
I certainly hope so -- it's been a lot of fun to be a part of that and to watch that show grow. A lot of days it doesn't even feel like work. It's just so much fun to be around all these talented people and to share that experience with them, so we certainly hope it comes back next year. And if so, I hope I get a chance to host it again.
What are your plans during the holidays?
For us it's really just about being with family so we're going to be in Cincinnati where my family is and hang out with the niece and nephew; watch them open some gifts and just enjoy family time.

Boy bands to unite in special Manila concert
MEMBERS of top-selling boy groups Blue, 98 Degrees and A1 will join forces to perform in a special one-night concert at the Araneta Coliseum on Feb. 25 next year.
The show is called "The Greatest Hits Tour: Blue, Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, and A1: Live in Manila 2012."
In an interview to promote the concert, Mr. Timmons said: "I know Manila fairly well. I love pancit and other foods from that area. The jeepney’s crack me up, and the traffic and mega malls are bananas. The people are amazing. They treated us like kings, always greeted with "Hi, Sir," and "Thank you, Sir." They only talk like that in some parts of the US."
Fans of 98 Degrees will not see the whole group performing. Yet, that should not matter much as its unforgettable R&B, soul, urban and contemporary pop sound lives on through Mr. Timmons, its founding member.
He is sure to sing many of their hits like "Invisible Man," "Because of You," "The Hardest Thing," "I Do (Cherish You)," and "My Everything," among others.
"Out of all the hits ‘Invisible Man’ is my favorite," Mr. Timmons told Manila-based reporters in a telephone interview.
"It is the most soulful of our radio songs, and it was the first song we ever heard of ourselves on the radio.
For A1’s Ben Adams who penned "Like A Rose," there is something cute to reveal regarding the song. "I wrote it when I was 16 years old on my old upright piano at my parents’ house," he told reporters.
"I haven’t told anyone this really as most people assume it’s a love song, but it was actually originally written for my mom! We have just updated it for a brand new version for 2012, which was amazingly fun to do! Very excited for you all to hear it," Mr. Adams added.
Mr. Adams said fans can help the group decide on which songs to perform by sending in their requests through the band’s official Web site www.a1official.com.
"We will do our best to do every big hit. We are doing this for the fans and want to give them what they want to see," Mr. Adams said.

DEC Holiday Countdown: #6 98 Degrees – This Gift
This holiday season, we’re thankful for #6 on our Holiday Countdown! We’ve been waiting to give this gift tonight, we’re down on our knees, there’s no better time… Oh, come on! You knew this was coming, here is “This Gift” by 98 Degrees to serenade you before the Monday blues.
In the visual, the boys are shown singing to a full house of lovestruck fangirls. We’ll forgive them for dressing in coordinating maroon and cream sweaters, but did they really have to make Drew Lachey and Jeff Timmons wear white pants, too? But honestly, no matter how corny the outfit, there’s always going to be a special place in our hearts for this 90s boys band.

Canton, Ohio native Jeff Timmons set to tour South East Asia

Jeff Timmons, founding member of the band 98 Degrees is a Canton, Ohio native and is set to tour South East Asia. The tour also features Blue and A1. The Greatest Hits Tour Dates thus far are Quezon City Manila, Philippines: February 25, 2012, 8:00 PM at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. For tickets to this show call TicketNet (911-5555). For VIP tickets you may call Wilbros Live at 374-2222 or 374-9999 (Mondays to Fridays). And then the tour moves on to Singapore on February 28, 2012. Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/5DBzOx.
Canton is in Northeastern, Ohio, and compared to the places Timmons has been since 98 Degrees stormed into the music world, it is just a small town. Now the Ohioan, boy next door has gone solo, and he is traveling even further from his hometown roots of Ohio, as he gets ready to head to Asia to entertain his fans far away.
Visit his website at http://jefftimmons.com/ to keep track of what Jeff Timmons is up to. Timmons has this to say at his website “My sold-out run with the Chippendales in Las Vegas has injected new life into my career. This year I will be releasing new music, touring the world, and who knows maybe there will be some MAJOR surprises that you’ve all been waiting a long time for.” Fans of Timmons are anxiously awaiting the new music, and with any luck maybe this good ole’ Ohioan will make it back to the state for some shows.

Nick, athletes help charity event in NYC
SOURCE
Nick Lachey isn't proud of it but he speaks the truth.
"This year, it's been a catastrophic breakdown of my body," said the 38-year-old Lachey, who rose to fame in boy band 98 Degrees then became an actor. "I had to see the doctor about a pinched nerve in my neck. I have all these aches. I'm totally breaking down."
Nick Lachey kicked 2 of 3 field goals in NYC Friday afternoon.
But that didn't stop Lachey from showing up in midtown Manhattan on Friday afternoon, along with football greats Jim Kelly, Rodney Peete, Eddie George, Antonio Pierce and the Gramatica brothers as part of the Tostitos Fiesta in the Square to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Taking place in the heart of New York City, the celebration converted the Times Square Military Island into a regulation-size college football end zone, where fans were helping set a Guinness World Record for the most people to kick successful field goals in six hours.
As part of the event, the Tostitos brand will donate $100,000 to BBBS. If the record is set, the Tostitos will double that amount.
"I'm having a blast out here. We're going to set this record and get that extra money. We got really lucky with the weather," said Lachey, who is serving as party host. "It's great to see everyone here to help with this great cause."
Lachey had always been around sports before moving into the entertainment industry. He even studied sports medicine at Miami (Ohio) University.
So after playing basketball and baseball, kicking a football through the uprights shouldn't be that hard, right?
"It's harder than it looks. Granted, I did a little preparation before coming to New York," Lachey said. "I didn't make a complete fool of myself. I made 2-of-3. That's pretty respectable."
And after this event, Lachey and his 31-year-old wife, Vanessa Minnillo, will head back to Cincinnati to celebrate the holidays and watch his favorite Cincinnati sports. Technically, he's still in the honeymoon period with his wife of less than six months.
"She keeps me young, or she's aging me even quicker. I'm not really sure," Lachey said. "And we'll be in Cincinnati, the sports mecca of the world! After the great season the Bengals have had, we consider them already having won the Super Bowl."

Nick Lachey, Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman's holiday must-haves
There's a reason that iReporter Chris Morrow is considered a superstar around these parts. Not only does she file sumptuous reports from all over the country - she also scores interviews with tip-top talent like the hosts of NBC's "The Sing Off."
Morrow asked Nick Lachey, Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman our favorite question at this time of year, "Finish the sentence, 'It's not the holidays without...'" and got answers ranging from eggnog to...well, you'll just have to watch. And drool. And go make chicken. (You'll see.)
