Jessica Simpson’s recent relationship troubles all stem from her past hotness. Think about it. If you are Tony Romo or John Mayer and you see pics of Jessica Simpson back in her prime when she was still with Nick Lachey you have to feel pretty resentful.

By any measure Mayer and Romo are all around better catches then Lachey. But Nick got to nail the hot virgin Jessica Simpson, and Romo and Mayer had to settle for the older, rounder, and looser version.

Here are some pics of Jessica Simpson in a bikini back when she was in her prime.

Well the inevitable has happened, Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo have decided to call it quits.

We can only speculate about the cause of the break up, but after 3 years together we believe that Vanessa finally heard some Nick Lachey’s “music”. The realization that you are dating a talentless dolt will put a tremendous strain on even the strongest relationships.

Sadly for Lachey, this might mark the end to his streak of dating women too hot for him. Washed up frat boy good looks, generic douche arm tattoo, and sappy poorly constructed love songs can only take you so far.
