Risqué Knife Pictures Cost Minnillo Her Job?

June 05, 2007


I'm convinced there's a black cloud above Lindsay Lohan. Anyone associated with her ends up running into some trouble of their own. Like we first reported a few days ago, pictures of Lohan and Vanessa Minnillo pretending to cut themselves spread like wild fire on the internet, well it looks like these pictures might now cost Minnillo her job.

Minnillo was host of MTV's "TRL" and the New York correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight," both Viacom shows, until her contract ended in April. The current girlfriend of Nick Lachey did not renew with either show.

While friends of Minnillo insist it was she who decided not to renew the contract with "ET," insiders say her bosses at CBS Paramount haven't been happy with her for a while. Sounds like these pictures are the perfect excuse to finally fire her.

According to Page Six, when producers flew her to Los Angeles to cover the Grammy’s, "she was extremely high maintenance," said one source. "She insisted they fly her own hair and makeup people and her personal assistant out with her every time she flew to L.A. She only flew first class and stayed at the Four Seasons, and then she didn't want to work.

"Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them," said the source. "She wouldn't conduct post-show interviews because she wanted to party. She expected to be paid a full-time salary for a part-time job."

A rep for Minnillo denied any "diva behavior" and told Page Six, "She chose to leave 'ET' because her contract ended. This is the first I've heard about any bad behavior."

These people are F'd up! Who would pretend that they're getting horny with a knife and pretend to cut the same sex? These girls should be burried in the ground, and they're parents shot.

Minillo had chosen not to go back to TRL as it was "time to move on" quite a while ago (acording to her) but I'm not sure about the other show.

Who really cares. They are just pictures.. It's not like they are naked... My god, people need to get a life... And I wonder who put these pics. up.. *ahem* LINDSAY! Her CAMERA. I don't like Nick Lachey, and I think VANESSA could do better, than Jessica Simpsons used trash. =]

According to Access Hollywood, on their show--last night, and on their web site (digital video), they claimed, in fact, that the other femme fatal playing wife the knife, along with Lindsey Lohan, in those kinky pictures is indeed Vanessa Minnillo...although they made no reference to her being an on air reporter for their rival tv show Entertainment Tonight. Billy Bush personally reported the story last night on Access Hollywood!!! BTW...I also saw last night's Entertainment Tonight, and curiously, there was no mention of Minnillo, or the leaked drugged-out Lohan/Minnillo "Knife Wielding Lesbian S&M" picture poses. I wonder if this will also affect her doing press interviews for the family friendly Fox film Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, since Minnillo stars in the film???!!! BTW...Minnillo did not appear with the rest of the cast of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer on the MTV Movie Awards last Sunday. Makes you wonder if there are a lot more sleazy pictures, and other nasty scandals, ready to come out concerning "Nasty Nessa"--Vanessa's reported nickname among her close friends!!! Either way, judging by those "super freaky" pictures with Lohan, now we all know why, and how...Vanessa got that much deserved nickname, in the first place!!! Nick Lachey...you are one lucky bastard!!! Enjoy!!! Amended: Well, this story explains why Minnillo wasn't on ET...but judging by the fact that these pictures are 4 months old, the producers at TRL and ET must have already seen them, and fired Minnillo behind the scenes, although neither side will admit to it. Her corporate bosses at CBS/Viacom, ET and TRL had been warning her not to date people who she interviews anyway...so this was their way out (the pictures), thanks to the 'morals clause' that most certainly had to be in her contract!!! Trust me, she didn't quit!!! But hell, even though I don't like Lindsey...I do like Minnillo. I'd hire her...but this time, to play the truth-- in the form of the bad girl that she really is, rather than the girl nextdoor, which she has been faking all these years!!! Finally, now that she has been outed--Minnillo is a "closet freak", no more!!! Rejoice!!! P.S.-You'll recall Vanessa's TRL co-host Damian was dating that beauty contestant that was doing coke, drinking and having lesbian affairs. You know, the one involved with Donald Trump. There were heavy sexual sparks between Damian and Vanessa on air at TRL for years...so I'm sure she was right in the middle of all that with him, in respect to the beauty contest winner and the sleazy goings on behind the scenes, especially since Vanessa comes from the world of beauty contests anyway...that's where she got her fame from in the first place!!! Are all these beauty contestants...all sleep around coke heads these days???!!!

Holy Christ..who cares!! I am sure most of you have stupid myspace pictures that are worse than that. Stop worrying about their lives and get on with your own. I am sure Nick Lachey is really going to take your guys' advice. Idiots
11:04AM 06/05/07 Huh?
I thought it wasnt her? She looks like her sure, but why would Vanessa hang out with someone like Lohan? If that's really her, then im done with her aswell, i estimated Vanessa on a higher standard then the likes of Lohan. (I wonder how Nick feels about his gf hanging out with crackwhores like Lohan?)

These pictures are disturbing and discusting. I am no longer a fan/supporter of her. Sure people make mistakes but these pics are like WTF? I could never look at her the same way again. What a faux ledbo typical slutty american. Nick needs to dump her sorry a** asap. Nick, get with a girl who has NO MOTIVES but to be loved and to give love.
9:45AM 06/05/07 yes
wtf?

First bit of bad behavior? I wonder where her reps where when she dropped the "F" bomb, and when her friends had to carry her out of a club because she was so drunk!? Nick better wise up fast!
9:33AM 06/05/07 THE IMPORTANT IS THAT LINDSAY'S OK
LINDSAY IS OK NOW. TAKING CARE OF HERSELF, AND I'M SURE SHE'S SMILING AND JUST IT, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME! F*CK THE PASS!
