When the pictures of Nick and Vanessa canoodling in a hot tub in Mexico appeared in print, everyone in Hollywood started talking - especially Jessica Simpson, Star mag reports in this week’s issue.
The magazine cites a source that says, “Jess was lunching with some friends and someone brought up the hot tub pictures. Jessica scrunched up her nose, made a face and said, ‘That is sooo tacky. Have some modesty!” The source dished, “Jessica thinks that carrying on like that was classless. She suspects Vanessa knew she was being photographed and played to the cameras. She wouldn’t put it past her to have staged the scene.â€
Pretty serious accusation. But Star reports that the clincher came a few minutes later when another person at the table said: “If I had a body like Vanessa’s, I’d show it off, too.” The chatty insider says that you could see the blood drain from Jess’ face. “Believe it of not, Jess still compares herself to Nick’s current girlfriend. She even asks her friends, ‘Is she prettier than me?’”
