No more fan-tasies of a reconciliation for fans of erstwhile newlyweds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, who have reportedly been sending love signals through music videos and magazine covers sparking rumors of a reunion.
But now a story in the National Enquirer is saying the soon-to-be-bachelor is lowering the settlement amount of $5 million (from $8 million) in order to quickly get his hands on cash he desperately needs to ease his cash flow problems over his new Bel Air mansion and a condo he's building in Las Vegas.
Rumors have abounded for months, however, that Jessica Simpson is dragging her feet because she has her own legal problems, none of which concern Lachey's desire to build his bachelor lifestyle.
Says a source to the Enquirer, "She knows that some lawsuits filed against her could prove to be a problem." As reported previously in The Post Chronicle, TAG (Tarrant Apparel Group), a clothing company who signed a contract with Simpson to promote their brand, sued the leggy pop-tartlett for failing to do so. In court papers, they state they are suing the singer for $100m for breach of contract for failing to promote their brand.
Business is business, Nick. If I were her, I wouldn't be in a hurry either.
