In "You can't blame me for looking out for myself - I need this money" news, the big homey Nick Lachey wants what's his, and maybe what's Jessica Simpson's. In court papers filed recently in response to Simpson's Dec. 16 divorce filing, Lachey said he was reserving the right to seek spousal support, even though she has asked the court not to give him any.

So tell me about the games being played EbenGregory.

According to his divorce response, Lachey cited irreconcilable differences for the dissolution of the marriage. Also, he asked the court to confirm that "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects" remain separate property, as well his earnings after the date of separation and additional property assets to be determined. Now that's trashy.

In his filing, Lachey reports the couple's separation date as Dec. 13 while Simpson cited it was Nov. 23 in her divorce papers. The discrepancy in the dates is particularly relevant because of the nearly $1 million Simpson earned during those weeks that she'd have to split with her former husband under California law. Go Nick go!

The singing couple, who starred in their own MTV reality show, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," had no prenuptial agreement. He cited irreconcilable differences for the dissolution of the three-year marriage.

Lachey, who gained fame as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees, had more earning power when the couple wed in October 2002. However, Simpson's fame skyrocketed during the marriage. The 25-year-old singer-actress reportedly earned more than $30 million last year, including earnings from her big-screen debut playing Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard" movie.

Here's Nick Lachey to Ryan Seacrest on his divorce from Jessica Simpson: The hardest part of this breakup is the media coverage.

Yeah right. The hardest part of this breakup is that Jesse didn't hit you off with any paper before she gave you the boot. Next time, holla "we want pre-nup." Poor Mr. Lachey, it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees. But that's another story, so in the meantime.

Here's some jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Nick Lachey reserving the right to seek spousal support from Jessica Simpson: Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything.

The problem is figuring out who's the cockroach and who's the socialite?

PS, cool DETAILS cover, too bad you look silly now.
