Newlyweds - MTV's newest Osbournes
 

Any seen Newlyweds on MTV yet? The starting five minutes of the first episode are extremely corny so I'm not sure exactly why I didn't change the channel (actually I am sure: laziness), but the show gets a lot better.

Although I think my level of attraction for Jessica Simpson has waned since watching a couple episode (oh, but she still fine, don't get me wrong). But what are you supposed to think about her inability to throw dead flowers in the trash can or her fear of laundry. Or how about this sample quote:

"So is tuna, like, chicken or fish, because it says chicken of the sea on the can."

After that gem Nick Lachey looked at her with such annoyance, it was hilarious. And the fact that he's so anal makes the show even better.

I'm telling you, it's the new Osbournes.

And the new Ozzy is Jessica Simpson.

I see nothing but divorce in their future. Once the novelty of screwing her wears off for him he won't think her spoiled brat with an IQ of 10 routine is so cute. He already is making faces as if they were married for 10 years. He said it himself about the "five year plan" to change her spoiled attitude.

Jessica got married?

*hides*

Man, I wish I had a TV and cable. This sounds like the potential hilarity level is HIGH. Let me know if it is so that I can find some episodes somewhere. ;)

Newlyweds was a horrible idea, I agree w/ Hrothgar, divorce awaits them.

Neither of them have any kind of career in their future, so they needed to cash in now!! Yes, divorce is in the near future, especially with her mom hanging around all the time!!!

its a funny show I think yeah she needs to not be soo spoiled

Right now I think it is better than the Osbournes. I can't wait to see what she will say next. She is a goldmine of quotes.

September 10, 2003 -- NEWLYWEDS" - the MTV show that follows pop stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees around for their first year of marriage - is turning into the kind of TV hit that could give album sales a real boost (hers just hit the Top 10 and his came out yesterday).
But is the price too high?

Simpson is in danger of becoming a much sexier, teen-idol version of the clueless Ozzy Osbourne.

The ratings are big.

Billboard's senior writer Carla Hay thought the show would be lucky to get 1 million viewers. In fact, it debuted with 2.48 million viewers and won its timeslot.

Those numbers have held up. "Newlyweds" (Tuesday nights at 10:30 on MTV) had more young viewers than "Making the Band," "The Osbournes" and everything else on basic cable except wrestling, MTV specials like the Video Music Awards and stalwart "The Real World."

But what has everyone talking is Jessica Simpson herself. She's been described by reviewers as a brat, embarrassingly babyish and - when people want to be kind - charmingly clueless.

"She is dumb as a stick," said Alisha, a 31-year-old graphic designer too embarrassed about being a fan of the show to give her last name.

"Jessica is totally watchable, like Ozzy Osbourne. She's not a train wreck like Anna Nicole.

"You can tell Nick is annoyed by her, but she's totally sexy so he puts up with it.

"I felt amused watching Ozzy. I felt dirty watching Anna Nicole. And I feel pity watching Jessica.

"She's the show. I'm not sure she knows she's the show, but she is."

It's hard not to be fascinated by a pop princess who would rather buy new clothes than do laundry, wonders if her tuna fish is really tuna because it's called Chicken of the Sea ("a blonde moment" Simpson has said about that comment), goes camping with her Louis Vuitton bag and belches more than John Belushi in "Animal House."

Paula, another fan, can't decide what her favorite stupid-Jessica moment is.

"It's kind of like repulsive yet intriguing," said Paula. "Every single word out of her mouth, you think, 'Who could be stupider?' "

News reports already say the show has been optioned for a second season, something the stars were both up for.

"Well, it was really more fun than we anticipated," said Lachey in an interview right before the show debuted.

"So if the situation was right, we might do it again." MTV says no decision has been made.

"It would be perfect as long as season two is 'Marriage, Marriage' and season three is 'Le Divorce,' " said Paula. "Though God help us if they ever have a kid."

But will the marriage last that long?

"In five years, they'll break up," Alisha predicted.

"He'll cheat on her and she'll be jealous and they'll break up and get back together a thousand times before finally ending it.

"There's nothing wrong with them; they're just too young."

I used to be in love with Jessica Simpson, but I gotta agree, my attraction to her has deminished. Ever since the tuna inncident I can't look at her the same way again.

Best show ever. God its hilarious!

i've heard of this show...i've got a few chick friends who watch it every once and a while. from what i've heard that bitch is just plain old dumb. i used to think that behind the singing she may have an intelligent and maybe normal side, but alas, she's an annoying, dumb, spoiled, whiny, hot, fine ass, girl....and that guy is oh so lucky to be banging her every night.

Ugh, worst show ever.

I don't want to fuck her because she's smart.....

Gotta say I love the show. Maybe it's just because i'm a female and it just "a chick thing". While I'm watching it my husband will roll his eyes at some of the things going on, but he still can't help but smile. I think she's real and she she doesn't put on for the cameras, she lets the viewers see the real her, and that's what I enjoy. Maybe people think she's stupid, but even if they do, nothing could ever be as bad as the Anna Nicole Smith show. Now that's a show that blows!!!! As for people saying divorce is in their future name one hollywood couple that probably isn't headed that way??? Look at J Lo, marriage #3.
