Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey: LAX Jet-Setters
Heading out of town for the weekend, Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey were spotted getting ready for departure at LAX airport on Friday (August 29).
The former Miss Teen USA and her man strolled through the terminal, with Vanessa toting around her pet pooch, Wookie, as they headed towards the security checkpoint.
Paying more attention to her canine companion than her “High School Musical: Get In the Picture” host beau, a source on the scene tells: “Vanessa kissed Wookie and even bit its paw playfully, but Nick was on the receiving end as they argued through the screening process.”
The insider adds: “She (Vanessa) gave him a stare and gave him the puppy dog eyes before they eventually got past the checkpoints and left Los Angeles.”

I think some of the more inspirational moments in sports you see during the Olympics. Obviously I’ll be watching Michael Phelps and see how he does, and his quest to break that record [swimming]. There’s a lot of great stories and a lot of great drama to expect there in the games this year.

Drew Lachey to Host 'Broadway on Broadway' 9/14
Spamalot's Drew Lachey will host Broadway on Broadway 2008 (www.broadwayonbroadway.com) on Sunday, September 14th at 11:30 a.m., it was announced today by The Broadway League and The Times Square Alliance. Presented by Continental Airlines, the annual free outdoor concert brings together stars and performances from current and upcoming Broadway productions to celebrate the beginning of the new Broadway season. For the event, Times Square will be "shut down" to make room for the 50,000+ attendees. This kickoff to the 2008-2009 Broadway season stretches from 43rd to 47th Streets and fans should arrive early for a good spot.
Mr. Lachey, perhaps best known as the winner of "Dancing With the Stars" and a member of the phenomenally successful pop group 98 Degrees will host a show featuring appearances and performances by stars from upcoming productions such as A Tale of Two Cities, Billy Elliot and 13, A New Musical, as well as some of Broadway's most beloved shows, including Avenue Q, Chicago , Disney's The Little Mermaid, Grease, Gypsy, Hairspray, In The Heights, Jersey Boys, The Lion King, Legally Blonde, Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins, The Phantom of the Opera, Spring Awakening, [title of show], Wicked, Young Frankenstein, Mr. Lachey's show, Monty Python's Spamalot, and more. All appearances are subject to change.
In addition to great singing and dancing, Broadway on Broadway will conclude with a grand finale: a "shower" of confetti.
This year's Broadway on Broadway will also launch the new Broadway Concierge & Ticket Center, located in the Times Square Visitors Center. Details will follow soon.
"It is an honor to be hosting this year's Broadway on Broadway," commented Drew Lachey. "I am delighted to be a part of the Broadway community and I love this great city. I look forward to showing the Broadway fans from New York and around the world just what we have to offer."
"'You gotta have a gimmick,' someone once wrote, or sang. Closing down Times Square for a free concert of today's and tomorrow's Broadway shows to kick-off the new theatre season is a great beginning," said Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League. "At this year's event, we are excited to announce the launch of The Broadway Concierge and Ticket Center. Details will be announced next week."
"The Crossroads of the World once again welcomes theater fans from all over the globe," said Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance. "What better host to lead the singing and dancing than Spamalot star and "Dancing with the Stars" winner Drew Lachey."

'cause my heart's an empty space without you
where do i go when my heart's all alone
and who do i love
when there's no one left to hold

Vanessa Minnillo: Nick Said 'I Love You' First

Case in point? In Disaster Movie, hitting theaters Friday, Minnillo's cheerleader character just can't get her boyfriend to say "I love you."
"He just can't drop the L-word," Minnillo, 27, tells PEOPLE of her character's commitment-challenged boyfriend. "And what a girl wants more than anything in the world is for their boyfriend to say 'I love you.' "
But, says Minnillo, her real-life beau Nick Lachey, 34, doesn't have any similar hang-ups: "The L-word is not thrown around by men as easily as it is by women – but I didn't say it first! He's very loving. We're very open and vocal."
While Minnillo and Lachey may be in sync when it comes to their love for each other, their attempt to exercise together is not so harmonious.
"We used to work out together, but we stopped," says Minnillo, laughing. "We're doing different things. And the guy runs forever! Like, I swear, he's running 11 miles a day. I can't run. That's the one thing I can't do, because I feel like the further I jog away from my house, the further I have to jog back!"
To read more of Minnillo's interview, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Nick Lachey Singer and TV Host | Nick Lachey is the Co-Owner of the Tacoma Rainiers Professional Baseball Team, the Triple-A Seattle Mariners Affiliate. Nick is a native of Kentucky, but grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Given his innate athletic abilities, his original ambition was to pursue a career in sports medicine, but he and his brother, Drew, were both accepted to study at the Cincinnati High School for the Creative and Performing Arts where they developed their musical abilities. At Miami University in Ohio, he and friend Jeff Timmons auditioned for a vocal group that became 98 Degrees, eventually signing with Motown. Their first smash hit came in 1997 as Invisible Man rose to number 12 on the charts. Follow-up singles Because of You and The Hardest Thing both reached the top 5, while I Do (Cherish You) peaked at No. 13. These songs propelled their second album 98 Degrees and Rising to quadruple-platinum status. Lachey released his first solo album, SoulO in 2003 in the midst of the fervor surrounding the hit TV series, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. In 2006, he released his second solo album entitled What’s Left of Me, which went to #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and recently went gold. Lachey continues to be a presence on-screen, after landing a six-episode role in the WB series Charmed, as well as a guest spot on ABC’s Hope & Faith, both in 2004. He recently appeared as the host of the very successful NBC’s reality mini-series, Clash of the Choirs as well as MTV’s Nick Lachey: What’s Left of Me. He also appeared as host of ABC’s High School Musical: Get in the Picture.

Plymouth Rox and so does the North End
Louie and I performed @ Plymouth Memorial Hall Saturday and we brought the house down. There were great performances all around: The Funky Bunch tore it up, Shaymin, Melissa, Static Noyze( those dancers killed it!) and Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees) ended the show with a mesmerizing set that wooed all the girls. I met so many amazing people and got to reunite with cousins(Molly!!) and my godmother. With the backstage antics and post-party madness, we definitely had the time of our lives.
Special thanks to my two brothers from another mother Malik Williams and Jeff Kalligheri. Not only do they run the behind the scenes but they always make me laugh when I am nervous to sing. Also a shout-out to Dickie Skinz the MC of the night.
The ladies of Bella Nova also kept it rockin with us. Check their salon out in Foxboro.

All four albums released by the group went platinum.
After a stellar career with 98 Degrees, Jeff has single-handedly written and produced his first solo album, released as a joint venture between his own company, Rising Phoenix Media, LLC and SLG Music.

"I am honored to have Jeff and Louie see the value behind the great work we are doing here at Project RISE and have them spend some time with the kids.
As a former professional athlete myself, I know the positive impact those who are in the public eye and have made positive life choices can have on our youth.
Kids aspire to achieve the accomplishments that both Jeff and Louie have had in their careers and their coming here will be a true highlight in all of these children's lives and have a major impact.

Plymouth Rox for free with Jeff Timmons
By Emily Wilcox
Tue Aug 05, 2008, 08:00 PM EDT
With four platinum albums, more than 10 million copies sold and eight top 10 singles, 98 Degrees proved it wasn’t just another boy band.
98 Degrees founding member Jeff Timmons has since gone solo, has written songs for Mariah Carey and is still all about raising temperatures as a TV producer for The World’s Hottest Girl. It may not be the most cerebral foray into the entertainment industry, but it’s clear Jeff Timmons will have a good time. And he’s bringing the fun to Plymouth this weekend. While Timmons will start the search for the world’s hottest girl in Asia, he’ll begin filming the pilot episode here in Plymouth.
At 7 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 9, Timmons will headline Plymouth Rox Summer Fest at Memorial Hall in a lineup that includes The Funky Bunch, Dre Robinson and Louie Bello.
The key word here, folks, is the concert is free.
Rich Cronin was originally scheduled to perform but won’t be able to due to illness, hence the concert freebie.
Timmons will also be filming for his TV show during Saturday’s concert, when some lucky girl wins the chance to be serenaded on stage.
The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8.
“We’ll be filming the audience and giving people a chance to get on TV,” Timmons said. “We’re just going to make it like a big party.”
98 Degrees signed with Motown in the mid 1990s when it started cranking out hits like “True to Your Heart,” “The Hardest Thing” and “I Do (Cherish You).”
Timmons has since launched a solo career, releasing the CD Whisper That Way in 2004, and is enjoying his work as a TV producer with Boston’s Dolce Vita Productions.
“The last song I wrote was for Jordon Knight,” Timmons said. “‘Where is Your Heart Tonight?’ was number 15 on the top 20.”
Timmons, 35, grew up in Ohio and has two children.
He said he’s sharing the stage Saturday with some amazing talent.
Meanwhile, film from Saturday’s concert could be aired on national TV, so folks attending the concert might become part of the reality show as Timmons woos a member of the audience.
The World’s Hottest Girl has been picked up by a major network, Timmons said, and will feature naturally pretty girls of any race, creed, color or size. And there won’t be a judging panel.
“Whatever town we’re in, the people there will vote on it,” he said. “The winners in the different cities will attend a big party and become the cover girl of a magazine.”
Rob Young of Digital Media Services, which manages the hall for the town, says they’re expecting other special guests as well. “We are billing it as, ‘You never know who will show up,’” he said.
When Cronin was forced to cancel, Young said, he was faced with two options: Cancel the show or make good with the town. And every performer stepped up to the plate, Young said, offering to play for free or a mere fraction of their usual fees.
“Now the event is free to patrons,” Young said. “This is pretty amazing considering these artists have sold over 20 million records combined. These guys are all heroes in my eyes, and I hope the town shows up and cheers them on.”
If you’d prefer early admission to the hall and the guarantee of a seat, you can still purchase a $10 ticket online at www.MemorialHall.com.
