Taste of the NFL Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary of Party with a Purpose
Nick Lachey opens up on his Super Bowl traditions
SOURCE
By
Nick Lachey is having the "ultimate boys' week": He and a bunch of his friends are gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday in San Francisco after a ski trip to Lake Tahoe in California.
Lachey is also on radio row for a good cause; the Feeding America Entertainment Council member is working with young student chefs Taste of the NFL's annual Party with a Purpose on Saturday to help raise money for food banks across the country. We caught up with Lachey to see what he's up to and what he's excited for on Sunday.
What's it like on radio row?
It is madness, as you'd expect, but it's a lot of fun -- high energy.
Who are you hoping will win?
I don't really have a horse in this race, but I kind of want Peyton to be able to match Eli's two Super Bowl rings at Super Bowl 50. If Peyton wings, it's kind of a cool story. I'm rooting for him.
You're at the Super Bowl with PepsiCo for the Game Day Grub Match. What is that?
It's a competition with students from the Culinary Institute of America. The challenge was to come up with the perfect game day snack, but the recipe has to use three PepsiCo ingredients, and that's a lot more than just Pepsi -- there's Sabra hummus, Naked juices ...
The students have a lot to work with, and the winning group came up with a dim sum platter. I've been tasting a lot of things. They get to debut the creation tomorrow night at Party with a Purpose and they get some scholarships, tickets to the game and so it's a great project and a lot of fun.
What do you and your wife, Vanessa Lachey, serve at Super Bowl parties?
We always try to create a theme depending on where the Super Bowl is, like when it was in New Orleans, we had a cajun food truck come to the house. When it was in New York, we had a pizza truck come to the house. So we try to theme it on wherever the Super Bowl is that year.
There are a lot of big-name musicians who are playing on Sunday, and you yourself are a musician. Do you have anyone you're really excited to see?
Well, Coldplay. Everybody likes Coldplay, but I heard Bruno Mars may be part of this again, and I'm a big Bruno fan, so I'm looking forward to seeing that.
I interviewedyour wife in December and she told me your son, Camden, loves to sing.
He's definitely a singer. He loves to sing, and it's cool for me because I'm a writer, too, and he's starting to write lyrics to songs. He makes them up as he sings and it's cool to see your talents trickle down, so if he wants to be a singer one day that would be a lot of fun, but I'd be just as happy if he became a football player.
So as long as he's a singer or a football player.
Yeah, you know -- just one of those low-profile careers.
How do you divide time between your career and spending time with your family?
Your life changes after you have kids. It's all about the kids now and all about doing what's right for them as a parent and it's something you're glad to do, but we try and have a balance. She's working, I'm working -- whoever's got the time and I think we make a great team. This week, I'm up here having a guys' trip and she's at home taking care of the kids.
A guys' trip? Does that include your brother or any 98 Degrees bandmates?
It does not include them. I'm actually here with a bunch of buddies hanging out, so yeah, it's a boys' trip. We were in Tahoe earlier in the week doing some snowboarding and now we're at the Super Bowl, so it's the ultimate boys' week.
What other projects have you been working on?
I'm working on a TV project now, on the production side of things. It's a competition reality show I'm developing. I'm also working on getting back in the studio, working on new music. This past year I was working on a show for VH1, and that ended, so it's a good time to work on other stuff. Besides being a dad, that's kind of what I'm doing.
What is the upcoming album like?
I'm really going in next week, so I haven't even gotten into the studio and fleshed it out. I like to push a new project with a clean slate, so I'm not sure yet, but it's always exciting, so we'll see where I end up.

Yet Another Reason to Love Nick Lachey
SOURCE
by
Ruthie Fierberg
We have one more reason to love the Lacheys. Yesterday, Toys “R” Us released its annual Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids
and we couldn’t be happier that Nick was featured on this year’s cover.
Growing up with a special needs brother, Nick is dedicated to showing
love and respect to all kids—especially his son Camden, 2, and daughter
Brooklyn, 8 months. Parents chatted with the singer about
raising respectful children, how he keeps his loves close to his heart,
and the potential for another album(!).
P: How much does it mean to you to be on the cover of the
Toys “R” Us special guide, particularly having a brother on the
spectrum?
NL: I was very honored. The shoot was a real treat. I
got to spend the afternoon with four fantastic kids and their families.
As someone who grew up with a brother who has Asperger’s
and is a special needs child, I feel like I got to see firsthand that
there needs to be some considerations. This guide is a perfect resource.
Whether you’re a family member or a caregiver or a friend of the family
who is wondering what to get for a birthday party you can make sure
you’re getting something that is good for that child.
P: Our culture has recently made strides to be more
inclusive—to show special needs kids with typically developing children.
What in your mind do we need to do to continue that forward progress?
NL: I think it’s about understanding and it’s about
inclusion to use your word. I think the worst thing for a kid is to feel
like they’re different or feel like they don’t belong. What’s great
about this guide is these are all toys they can play with alongside
their siblings or their friends. These kids may learn in a different way
but they’re still a part of families and still a part of classrooms and
we need to make sure they feel that way.
P: How do you plan to teach Camden and Brooklyn to be accepting and look past differences between themselves and other children?
NL: My parents were always very good about
emphasizing that no matter who you come in contact with—no matter their
race, their status in the economy, whether they are special
needs—everyone is deserving of being treated with respect. That’s
something we teach Camden and we’ll teach Brooklyn. Camden thankfully
has been able to spend the last year in school and when you’re put into a
school you’re automatically thrust into a situation where you’re around
so many different types of kids. It’s been great for him to learn that
everyone is deserving of being treated with respect. When you’re a
2-year-old that means don’t put your hands on them, you share your toys with them. Those lessons are good to teach at any age.
P: You recently opened Lachey’s Bar with your brother and he has two kids. What is the cousin dynamic like?
NL: It’s really cool. His youngest is a boy and my
oldest is a boy. Huddy’s 5 and Camden’s almost 3, and Drew and my age
separation was about 2 years and 9 months so they’re roughly the same
gap that he and I were. It’s fun to watch their dynamic. They’re at the
point now where they can run around together and have fun together. And
his oldest is 9, so she’s getting into babysitting
age. The biggest thing about moving back to Cinci, at least part time,
and having houses next to each other is a chance to get those cousins
together all the time and spend time together.
P: Even though Camden is your oldest it’s almost like he has an older sibling.
NL: It really is. Huddy is the first one to knock
him to the ground and whoop up on him a little bit, which I’m sure I did
to Drew growing up. Drew’s getting his little semblance of revenge
here, next generation.
P: You travel a lot living in Cincinnati part-time, but in
New York for “Big Morning Buzz.” What do you do to carry a bit of your
family with you wherever you go?
NL: With technology it’s easier. When I was in New
York I would wake up at 5:45 in the morning and click on the baby
monitor and watch my kids sleeping. Whether it’s getting my makeup done
and watching Camden while he’s sleeping or saying goodnight to him with
Facetime, singing him to sleep, those things make it easier to be away.
It still is hard, but it makes it a little easier to stomach. I have a
dog tag that Vanessa
gave me with Camden’s birthdate on it and now with Brooklyn’s birthdate
on it. That’s my little symbol that they’re always with me. That’s why I
always wear it.
P: You released “A Father’s Lullaby” for Camden about a year
after he was born and you said you don’t want to play favorites, so is
there anything in the works for Brooklyn?
NL: I’m getting pressure from home and now on the
phone! Gotta get this going. Let’s be honest and I’ve thought about it.
Nothing imminently planned but it would be something cool to do so maybe
I’ll have to get on that.
P: Is there a song when you are with her that seems to soothe her?
NL: It’s funny because I’ve gotten so used to
singing the song I wrote for Cam called “Sleepy Eyes” and I sing it to
him every night to this day and I’ve already handed it down to her. I
feel like maybe I’ve given her the raw end of the deal. I might have to
write her her own, to your point.
P: I think just hearing dad’s voice is probably nice.
NL: You like to think that if no one else in the
world wants to hear you sing your kids still do. But no matter where you
are in your career, that’s the concert that matters the most: the one
at the crib.
P: Now that you have two, how do you hope to cultivate closeness between Camden and Brooklyn and minimize rivalries?
NL: Maybe I’m overly hopeful with this but I feel
given the fact that he’s a boy and she’s a girl the rivalry thing will
be less so than if they were both girls or both boys. At least that’s my
hope. I’ve already started to tell Camden, “You always protect your
little sister you want to look out for your sister.” I think that as
family it’s all about love and respect. They’re gonna be kids. They’re
gonna hit each other and steal each other’s toys and that’s sort of part
of the fun of it in a sick way. At the end of the day, if you as a
family teach respect, that will trickle down to the next generation.
P: What’s one thing you want to do as a family before summer is done?
NL: We were fortunate to take a vacation to the
beach so that was nice. We talked about going to Disneyland. Camden’s
very much into Mickey Mouse clubhouse He’s at the age now where he
really would have a blast with it. So we may see Disney on the agenda
before we get back into the fall.

Nick Lachey: “Great Ride” of Fatherhood Is “Just Starting” — Exclusive
There’s a lot going on in Nick Lachey’s life these days. Not only is the 98 Degrees singer father to two of the world’s cutest kids, but he also has his hands full with a new business. Nick and his brother Drew Lachey have opened a bar/restaurant in their hometown of Cincinnati named Lachey’s Bar and the entire process was captured by cameras for A&E’s reality show of the same name.
Wetpaint recently caught up with Nick while he was promoting the Lay’s “Do Us a Flavor” Contestand got the scoop on his new series, how well 6-month-old daughter Brooklyn is fitting in with mom Vanessa Lachey and 3-year-old brother Camden, and if there are any plans for baby number three!
Wetpaint: We’re excited to see you back on TV with Lachey’s Bar. What can you tell us the show?
Nick Lachey: It really covers the whole ride from conceptualizing it, planning it, designing it, opening it, and, ultimately, running it. We’re two guys who don’t really know much about the bar business and it was an eye-opening experience for us. We’re really excited to share that with the TV audience as we go through this thing.
Don’t they say you should never mix business with family?
Drew and I obviously worked together over the years in many different capacities be it 98 Degrees or another reality project so he and I are best friends and we have a good working relationship. But it is stressful because you certainly don’t want to lay an egg, as they say, in your hometown — especially when your family’s name is attached to it. We took it very seriously and that’s why we tried to be as involved as we could from beginning to end with every decision because we wanted to really respect who we are and what our vision was for the place.
How is being a dad to your daughter Brooklyn different than being a dad to Camden?
There’s just a connection a father has with a daughter that’s different from a son. I love them the same and there’s certainly not any more love there but it’s different; it’s a different connection that you have with a little girl. It’s exciting for me to experience that and all that comes with that. They’re both incredible, amazing kids and we’re truly blessed to have two great kids. It’s been a fun ride and it’s only just starting. There’s a lot more great stuff ahead with both of them.
What’s Brooklyn’s latest milestone?
She’s just the happiest kid, that’s the first thing I’ll say about her. She just smiles and laughs. She’s a super strong kid and can stand already. It also helps too when they have an older sibling and the younger one looks up to [him]. If Camden’s around then Brooklyn just stares at him and watches what he’s doing. She’s already starting to take cues from her big brother.
Do you and Vanessa have any plans for a third child?
No plans. You never know where that’s going to end up sometimes but right now we’re very happy with the two we have.
