Vanessa Says Working With Nick Is "Weird," Plus Their Valentine's Plans!
SOURCE
What would Grammys weekend be without the infamous Clive Davis party? The shindig is the Grammy go-to bash, and this year, musicians and actors alike came out for the big event. I managed to grab a couple of minutes with cute twosome Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, who walked the carpet together. They shared behind-the-scenes scoop about their guest spot on Hawaii Five-0 (airing this Monday!), revealed what's currently playing on their iPod, and spoke about Valentine's Day plans. The engaged couple looked incredibly happy, and Nick even paid his fiancée a sweet compliment. Just keep reading!
You're both guest star on Hawaii Five-0 this week. What was it like filming together?
Vanessa Minnillo: It was weird. They said you need to be this way toward him at this point, and I literally caught myself in giggle moments. I don't know how people do it in relationships, acting together. I couldn't do it.
Hawaii Five-0 is such an action-packed show. Will we see you doing any action scenes?
Nick Lachey: There was a little action. I campaigned to be able to do some of my own stunts, and I was happy the production let me do some of that.
VM: He got a bruise on his elbow.
NL: I was limping for a couple of days, but I was a real warrior at the end. It was a lot of fun, great cast, great group; the whole experience was a blast.
And Vanessa, you're coming off of your guest spot on 30 Rock. Did you enjoy doing comedy?
VM: That was amazing. You know, when you're working beside Tina Fey and Elizabeth Banks, it can only make you better as an actor. But the script is so well written. Honestly, I'm grateful that people are giving me accolades for it, but it's such a great show, and it's just so well written, and the actors are so great that they made it better for me.
So can we expect more TV appearances from you guys?
VM: Yeah, it's pilot season right now.
NL: She was born to be on TV. It's her destiny.
Since this is the Grammys, what are you listening to right now?
VM: You know, on the way here we were listening to Daft Punk, the Tron soundtrack.
NL: I'm addicted to the Tron soundtrack.
VM: We're obsessed with it! Oh my god, if you don't have it, get it, drive with it. It's addicting. I clean the house to it; it's amazing.
NL: It's like going into battle. If you're trying to get fired up for something . . .
VM: "Arena" — that's the song that will get you going.
Any big Valentine's Day plans?
VM: Watching Hawaii Five-0! Is that really corny? We're going to dinner and then watching ourselves on TV.
NL: It happens to air on Valentine's Day.
VM: And then we'll criticize each other, and who knows?
Nick Lachey's Valentine's Day Plans: Watch Fiancée on TV
“What we’re going to do is have a nice romantic dinner and a few cocktails,” Lachey, 36, told PEOPLE at the Pre-Grammy Gala and Salute to Industry Icons with Clive Davis Honoring David Geffen, held at the Beverly Hilton.
But does the singer have any special after-dinner plans with his soon-to-be wife?
"We're going to go home and watch Hawaii Five-0 guest-starring Vanessa Minnillo,” he said, laughing.
Walking the red carpet with her man by her side, Minnillo, 30, dished about having Lachey’s support for the rest of her life.
“All the good stuff feels different [because] you know that you found your partner that’s there for you,” she explained. “But we’ve been dating for five years so all the nitpicky stuff is worked out.”
“We’re an old hat now,” Lachey added.

Insider @LisaLisa98 visits the #H50 set.
#H50 was filming ep. 116 at the Aston Waikiki Hotel, using Tiki’s Grill & Bar (@Tikisgrill) and other areas of the hotel. Grace Park and @danieldaekim were shooting that day. @Littlesrule the #VacationingInsider also joined the fun. The crew even asked us to sit in the background of a scene as they changed the camera angle towards the pool. Not like we’ll get real airtime, but it was fun to be participating in a #H50 scene! I got to see all the scenes that whole day – the end of the day was the BEST part. But as the ep has not been shown, I will post No spoilers!
The #H50 Crew were all very awesome and friendly. It was cool to see them filming and be thiiiiis close to everyone and everything! Respect their rules and they will respect you back. ‘Nuff said. Thanks for the memories, #H50 Crew!

Nick Lachey, Vanessa Minnillo Say Aloha to Hawaii
Todd Williamson/Getty Images Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have more to occupy their free time than just dress shopping and a seat chart these days.
Why? They've been booked, Danno. On Hawaii Five-0!
According to People, the newly engaged couple will jointly grace the small screen sometime in February. (Hello, sweeps!)
However, their roles won't be too far-fetched. Details on the episode are sparse, but Minnillo's character, Susan, will be engaged to Lachey's character, Tyler. So much for not being typecast.
Though they will actually be called upon to test their acting chops on the show—Minnillo's character, who works as a deckhand on a cruise boat, gets taken hostage by pirates!
Gasp!
This can only mean one thing: Nick Tyler to the rescue!

The Islands of Hawaii are gorgeously displayed every week for fans who love the CBS Show. Nature’s eye candy along with a few handsome hunks is intertwined in-between a plot of murder and mayhem. Now there is more.
News of some new eye candy has been announced as Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are going to be on the show in February. E Online is reporting that the two will be on the case for an episode. Hawaii Five-O, the new face of the classic at first didn’t seem to resonate with the viewers, however over the holidays, the show has gained quite a bit of popularity.
