It was wedding bells today for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo.

The couple tied the knot in a small ceremony on top of a cliff on the gorgeous and secluded Necker Island, owned by Sir Richard Branson.

Minnillo, who donned a two piece Monique Lhuillier wedding dress (Lachey wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit) said guests were in the dark about what was really going on.

“Nobody knew where they were going,” Minnillo revealed.

“Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket,” Lachey added. “We told them they were going away and the attire was ‘island chic.’ It was all very vague.”

While Lachey, 37, and Minnillo, 30, exchanged vows, a TLC camera crew was on hand to document the nuptials for an upcoming special.

The singer said he and Vanessa thought long and hard before saying yes to the cameras at their wedding.

“We kind of wrestled with that for a while, for obvious reasons,” Lachey said. “Having done reality TV in the past, I didn’t necessarily want to jump right back into it without having thought it through to great length, and we did.”

Lachey is no stranger to reality TV programming. He and his first wife, Jessica Simpson, were turned into huge stars with their MTV show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. Minnillo hosted the Ashton Kutcher-produced reality competition True Beauty.

Lachey and Minnillo began dating in 2006 and became engaged in November of 2010.

Vanessa Minnillo is going to marry Nick Lachey at long last, and she celebrated her upcoming nuptials with a bachelorette party in Las Vegas.  She partied at the Lavo Nightclub in the The Palazzo Resort and Casino.

The exact date of their wedding is being kept under wraps, but given that they’ve just had a wedding shower, and she’s having a bachelorette party, it can’t be far away.  Unless this is all just intended to throw all of us celebrity writers off.

Either way, Vanessa looked cute in a peach-colored mini-dress.  It’s a a fairly conservative style, but something so very form fitting can’t exactly be called entirely modest.

Thus far my Kentucky Derby commentary has been rather on the critical side, but now we come to two fine ladies for whom I have nothing bad to say, only good.  Marisa Miller looked incredibly cute in a beige dress and matching cloche.  Extra points to her for finding a nice hat that flattered her, rather than buying the most outlandish thing she could get her hands on.  And Vanessa Minnillo, who attended the Derby with hubby Nick Lachey, appeared to be the perfect lady in a black mini dress and a jaunty hat trimmed with tulle and feathers.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo will head to CBS for a guest spot on Hawaii Five-O.

The real-life engaged couple will play a (wait for it…) fictional engaged couple. Minnillo’s character will work on a cruise ship that finds itself on the wrong end of maritime pirates.

The reboot of the classic TV show has been a standout hit for the Tiffany Network and stars Daniel Dae Kim, Alex O’Laughlin, Scott Caan and Grace Park.

Lachey and Minnillo’s episode is slated for February sweeps.

Nick Lachey finally popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo and the two are officially engaged.  They gave a joint statement,

“We’re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together.”

Nick gave Vanessa who he’s been with since 2006 an Asscher-cut diamond with baguettes from Bader & Garrin.  They haven’t shared a photo yet, but I can tell you that is an amazing ring.  As soon as they share, I’ll show you!

Nick had to go to Twitter to make sure all his fans knew the engagement is legit,

“Hey all. If anyone’s heard the rumors of my engagement, they are absolutely true! Vanessa and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the love.”

That is really cute.  Congrats to the happy couple!

Vanessa Minnillo chatted with Parade and it wasn’t about your normal celebrity gossip stuff either.  Vanessa was more than open about her love life with Nick Lachey.

She took us to the shower scene…. the one they play out at least twice daily….

“We shower, honestly, at least twice a day.  We shower in the morning and we shower at some point during the day or before bed. It’s so funny because we’ve turned it into an intimate time for each other.  We both have our own shower heads, so we just talk while we’re soaping up and doing our hair.”

TMI, ya think?  Sure, they aren’t our parents… but come on…..  Oh no, there’s more.  Minnillo is very onto this shower thing,

“It’s not a sexual thing and it’s not a romantic thing, it just becomes an intimate thing. You’re in your full form, so to speak, and you’re vulnerable and we just both let our guard down. I’ve had some of my most intimate conversations with him in the shower.”

I am sure that all that happens in the shower is a lot of conversation…. that what two hot, naked, wet people do in the shower….

It looks like Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are heating up their relationship once again. The hot couple was spotted out at Billy Marks West Bar in New York City on Tuesday night (September 1st) and they were very focused on each other,

“They were both there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. They stood by the bar the entire time, talking pretty much only to each other.”

“It was more in how serious they looked at each other that told you that they were more than just friends.”

I think they were ‘subtlety announcing’ their on again relationship status when they held hands outside the bar while they waited for their shared cab ride home.

What do you think? Are they getting serious again? Will we hear wedding bells soon? One thing is for sure, this will be a new dagger in single Jessica Simpson’s lonely heart.

Yep.� It’s true.� Jessica Simpson’s ex, Nick Lachey will be making an appearance on at least one episode of One Tree Hill later this season.

When I first heard the news I thought, ‘Cool, I wonder what kind of character he will be?’.� Well, there’s no great surprise there.� Nick Lachey will be playing himself.

In the storyline, a record label wants to buy one of Haley’s (Bethany Joy Galeotti) songs that she wrote for Nick’s new album, but she is hesitant to sell any of her music, so he will appear.

Nick has a new album coming out this spring called Coming Up for Air, which includes a duet he recorded with new American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi.

So, this gig will require exactly no acting skills from Nick and it’s probably better that way.� How do you feel about this news?� Do you care?
