There was quite the array of events for celebs to attend this weekend, but the Kentucky Derby was by far the most classic. Nick, Vanessa & Jenny McCarthy were just some of the many who donned big fancy hats and sipped on mint juleps as they placed their bets. Jenny's hat, which won a contest put on by Chrysler and was made entirely out of Seabring materials, certainly made a statement while Vanessa's was more subdued.
On the red carpet Vanessa talked about matching her outfit with Nick's, while Jenny gushed about her relationship with Jim. She said, "It's the best relationship I've ever been in. It's not for the obvious reasons that people think of – 'Oh, you guys are just funny!' It's recognizing the much deeper level. We're both very spiritual people." Jenny may not have had Jim on her arm in Kentucky, but she somehow left the Derby in time to be by his side in Vegas for the big fight. As for the rest of the Derby festivities, it looked like everyone was having a blast!

fairweather racing fans get to go to derby and i'll probably never get to go...i'm not bitter
1I've never understood why they still wear those fug hats.
2awww!! nick and vanessa are so darn cute!!!! vanessa looks a bajillion times better than jessica!!!! nick is sooo better off with this girl.
3Wow...those hats! They are ugly
4aww the Queen was there, vannessa looks gorgeous
5think vanessas dress for during the day looks a bit drab.
6Ascot it ain't, those outfits and hats are tacky with a capital T.
7im sorry but i am not really a fan of vanessa i really dont think she is pretty, i still think that nick and jess made a good couple WHEN they were together, not any more jess is ugly now.
8pinkprincess
Do not like vanessa.
9this is the 1st time Vanessa accutally looks pretty.
Nick looks hott.
~Aint nobody love you like i love you..~
10none of these outfits top julia robert's outfit in pretty woman!!
11Jenny McCarthy gets around! The fight was a late one Saturday- must be rough to take red eyes between major sporting events.
12Oh god all of them look funny, LOL
13Thanks pop- I was just waiting to see pics from the Derby. Jenny Macarthy really looks fab and really works the hat. What was Melissa Joan Hart (is that right- teenage Witch???) looks awful.
14I can only imagine what the Queen thought of these people trying to look classy- probably looked like a circus to her!
Playing at being classy, that's the problem and am I the only one who thinks nick is a meathead.
15I never saw the appeal of Nick- more of a butthead!
16he is so hot, why does he have to be with her guess love is blind cant you tell,
17pinkprincess
I will get to the Derby one day!
I think that's part of
the fun. Kellyrenee, you are soooo right. That was definitely the best!
18I REALLY wanna wear an awesome hat. Even if I do look silly.
~SwtAsSgr~
me too swtassgar....it woud be something my dad and I want to do together and i would definitely wear a hat!!
19haha didnt Jessica go to that with Nick when they were married?? Hahaha, I cant stop laughing about that!
20i love the black dress with the hat! is really chic and wow! i love it! the match with the sunglasses, the black dress and the white shirt is just perfect
21It's like all the A- to F list celebrities were there but where were the real stars??
22can't believe dead queen elizabeth would attend. it's queen elizabeth the second, people! don't mean to be a smartass, but i'm european, we love our royalty
23wow Star Jones & husband...just...wow...don't ever dress like that againa s long as you live
24Why those terrible hats?
25Actually aistea311, Jessica did attend the Derby with Nick while they were married. It was on Newlyweds. They showed her shopping for her dress, them staying at a friend of Nick's house (he is a Kentuckian you know) and made a mockery of Jessica taking forever to get ready. Nick walked around the house with a cold miller light waiting for her. I love Nick and the Kentucky Derby...so it was a high light at my house.
26yes remeber that episode of newlyweds.jess looked freat in her dress with pink hat.
27I think Jenny's outfit is just horrible all over..
28i remember that episode, she was such a ditz, NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30Nick maybe sllighty more famous than Vanessa, but he is definitely NOT better looking than she is. She is every bit as attractive as he is. If he wasn't Nick Lachey, people would not be saying he could do better. I'm not dogging Nick, I think he is great, just trying to restore some perspective. His face is average, but he does have a rocking body. Vanessa on the other hand, is cute and vivacious, but not beautiful IMO. I would date her in a heartbeat! They DO make a cute couple however. Larry Birkhead looks geat as well.
Vanessa's dress is ugly, plain and old lady look alike
Well, she's nothing special anyway....

31Behind every great man, there's a woman rolling her eyes
I seriously need a reason to get out of the house wearing a bigass fancy hat.
32pinkprincess
33nick is not ugly, he has a big nose but he is not ugly, i think he is one of the cutest celebs right now, just my opinion
EW @ Jenny's hat. At least Vanessa could pull it off. then again, they are all pretty ugly. Melissa Joan Hart looks really bad
34Nick and Jessica went when they were engaged and then when they were married. Last year he went alone, so this is his 4th time. He was born in Kentucky and I think his Dad lives there now.
35Nick is hot and Vanessa is cute. It looks like the design on her dress is a traditional southern
pattern. I would have loved to see a video of Nick and Joey Fatone singing at the Barnstable Brown party!
Sorry folks, but when will people stop bringing up Newlyweds in relation to Nick and Vanessa? At least Vanessa's supporting her man, and not just going to grab the spotlight, unlike somebody else.
36Dammit, I'm having a flashback to Nick and Jessica at the Derby on Newlyweds. Ahh, memories...
Return the shoes? I can't talk to you when you're hysterical.
3710 points for Jenny's hat!!!
38Star Jones' husband is soo gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
39pinkprincess
40well people compare vanessa and nick to jessica and nick because hello they were a couple for a very long time, and they did things similar, of course people are going to compare they compare all exes to there new flings.
Nick and Vanessa have class compared to you know who.
41Those are some crazy but fun hats!!!
42The only person who got the hat thing right was the Queen. They all look ridiculous.
