It's OVAH, Part ... Oh, I've lost count.

After just three short years of wedded bliss, Nick and Jessica have called it quits. (Melissa, what was our over/under in the pool on this? I think one of us won some cash.) Frankly, I'm surprised it lasted this long, what w/her vacant stares and clear mental incapacity and his waning career... there was bound to be tension. And let's face it, he was mainly in for the poon. Once the novelty of that wore off, he realized he was stuck w/an airhead, whose bottle of bleach was smarter than she was.



Here's E! Online's scoop:

This time it's for real. Honest.

After months of speculation on their marital status, Newlywed duo Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have come clean and announced they are breaking up.

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," the couple says in a joint statement issued by their respective publicists, Meredith O'Sullivan and Rob Shooter.

"This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

There was no immediate word on whether a divorce was in the offing.

God knows what her crazy father, Joe Simpson, is going to do now that his daughter is getting divorced. Will he make her wear that crazy ring again? Does she have to become a "re-virgin"?

So, I wonder if this book (left) is going to go out of print. "How to Achieve your Dream Wedding." Maybe she should have been more concerned about a "Dream Marriage" instead. Hmm. Maybe I should snatch one up on Amazon. It might be a collector's item soon. --Joan.
