See what dating the right person does for your career....?

Still not sure about this girls motives

I agree JK, I really dislike this woman, cant stand the look in her eyes. She is a phony!

I like Kristin as the Bongo girl much more! I don't know, but Vanessa behavior has been really wild lately. Looking back at her hosting TRL on New Years, that was totally uncalled for! I think that her and Nick look kind of awkward together. I could care less though, I don't really like Nick Lachey or Her, so I guess they do belong together!

I don't know if she's the right person for the job, but I think she looks great in that ad picture..

Ditto Boogie.

Those shoes are horrible. So tacky, what were they thinking??

Puh lease people. Vanessa has a real job, even if it's an awesome one that most would do for free. She's clearly into Nick and if she wanted to date someone to boost her career, she would have chosen someone more famous. The girl interviews celebs daily and I'm sure she's had the chance to upgrade.

She looks good, but I hate that outfit. Bongo's fault, not hers.

hahaha - so Kristen Cavalleri and Nicole Ritchie had Bongo worthy behavior?

The only mis-step Vanessa's had in the last year is the F-bomb on New Years and the story following of which there are no pictures or proof. One f-bomb on camera is a little less reprehensible than a DUI while driving the wrong way on a highway, and to me Cavalleri is just a worthless celeb, she does nothing but show up to events!

I think Vanessa is the prettiest of the three, but I don't like the style of the ads at all.

(hate the shoes as well)

I like her. She is good for this.

Nicole Richie was a joke, b/c she wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing Bongo! (Hell, neither would I)

Cavallari and Minillo are just pathetic, because they are both Gold-digging NOBODIES

I agree with Princis and Holly. What exactly has Vanessa done that's reprehensible?

Yes, she goes to clubs but she goes with panties on, she hasn't lost her top "accidentally," she doesn't treat people like garbage, she doesn't get into cat fights, she isn't doing coke in the bathroom, she's not having she's not drinking and driving, and she goes home a) with her girlfriends or b) her man. When compared to her celeb and pseudo-celeb peers her age, she's a saint. She has fun like normal people (with fantastic jobs) and all the catty comments about her are completely unwarranted. Hate on someone who gives you reason to hate them.

I agree with u Princis11. I prefer Vanessa over the other 2 for sure!

Vanessa is hella better than Ritchie/Simpson/Cavalleri combined. The girl has class, she as E_P so elequently put..has a job, she is scandal free and she seems to put Nick first and loves the hell out of him.

Its about time he had a real woman by his side instead a piece of pink cotton candy that cries, b*tches, pouts and moans her way thru life. Jess was so spoiled I am suprised she doesn't need someone to wipe her ass for her.

I like Vanessa, Nick did well

I haven't worn Bongo in years but I'm glad to see them back and looking way better than they use to!

i love vanessa and nick!!! she is much better than nicole, jessica and kristen!!

both are nice.
wasn't rachel bilson once a bongo girl?

I don't understand why people would think she's got "a motive" for dating Nick Lachey. Hey, Vanessa was successful even prior to dating him anyway.

She's one hot chick and luck has been on her side so we should all be happy for her.

What is it that brings out such a reaction about this girl? She's got motive? What makes a smalltown girl not have a motive? People want him to find "the one" from say Ohio, but it's no guarantee, that that woman could be any different. People just assume that he's going to marry Vanessa, when he's probably not even thinking about that.

i like kristin more. she's more young & i think that she looks pretty in them. vanessa is, um, quite old actually.

Who is Vanessa? (Besides Nick's Girlfriend, of course)Ive always wondered that. I never even heard of her until she got with Nick. Does she work for MTV or something? (I haven't watched MTV in probably 10 years or so, stopped as soon as the bubblegum pop sh@t took over-at the end of the grunge/good alternative stuff unfortunately died). Or was she just a "normal" lucky girl who happened to always be at the right time and the right place-not famous for acting/singing but just knows people? I have no clue who she is. lol

i miss jessica and nick - i just know this is killing jessica and i know nick misses her - i know some wont agree - but he does

man what dating the right guy does for your career....jess you betterdo better than mayer

dvdsky - she's a MTV V-Jay. I don't know how long she's been one, but it's definitely been for longer than she's dated Nick.

And to your comment in my profile Juicy - I never said it didn't happen, I just haven't seen proof of it on here. Either way, having one drunk evening where you act like an idiot is a far cry from behavior that is reprehensible enough to hinder a contract with Bongo.

Must be great for her getting all this attention
That pic is airbrushed to . death

Vanessa won MIss Teen USA back in the day.
Back when Beauty Pagent winners didn't always turn out to be coke wh*res.
Rachel was my fav Bongo girl but I like Vanessa better than all of the other Bongo girls combined, simply because the girl has worked HARD to get where she's at. Unfortunatly, I can't say the same for Cavallari and Richie.

I like both Kristen and Vanessa, but my fave bongo girl was Rachel Bilson

I like Vanessa and she makes a darn hot BONGO girl. Good for her. And she's not using Nick for fame IMHO.

Well, she's gorgeous, intelligent, and has her own job-- unlike Cavalleri or Richie.

I don't understand the Vanessa hate. What's the problem? She's genuine in interviews and she and Nick seem truly happy. Good for them.

(I can't help feeling that it might be because she's Filipino and he's white. I'm in such a relationship and I wouldn't have believed the bigoted behavior I get from "ordinary" people before I saw it for myself...)

She is hot but always looks kinda cheap? Maybe because she doesnt have money to buy name brand clothes like other stars? She's hot though!

She looks great, I mean compared to Nick's ex Vanessa is a giant step up....I knew Nick was a smart man...

Pertaining to Juicy 23's comment. Nick and Vanessa were awkward at the New Year's Eve on MTV?
She was doing her job! Trying to be professional with him.

I do like her so much more because Jessica is such a dumb spoil-rotten crying baby!!

But to this Bongo... I love Vanessa more than the other girls. Yes, she does have two real jobs and yes, she's acted in tv and films before...

And if Vanessa was a gold digger, she would be digging someone else that has more money... Nick was popular but not as popular as other people she could be dating!

I do like Vanessa because she was once like us. She wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth, like Kristn or Nicole Richie!!

I like Vanessa. I don't trust Kristen.

Princess_eab thats the most ridiculous thing I have read. Why are you turning it into a race thing when no one has said anything close. Ignorant comments like that fuel hate. Some people dont like Vanessa because A) They liked Nick and Jessica B) It seems like she jumped on the Nick train right after the Jessica thing and he was getting tons of publicity so it wouldnt hurt for her to be around C) She was friends with Nick and Jessica when they were married ...and so on But NO ONE has said one thing about their race thats comment is so 1950s......
I hope Nick is happy and hopefully Vanessa has the right intentions...

She's Filipino?! I never thought about her race! I think she's a very pretty girl and I like them together. They seem to be on the same page. I think Jessica is pretty too but i always got the impression that he was babysitting her through out their whole marriage

I def like Vanessa better than Richie or Kristen!

In this day and age it SURPRISES me greatly to still find people critizing a girl...who has never (to my knowledge) said the F word on air....are you telling me that the slip makes her a money hungry b*tch??? or a wild animal to be compared to Britney Spears??? RIDICULOUS!

I like her...and she looks way the KC...waaaaay better!

Isn't this a site all about gossip? EVERYONE is entitled to his/her opinion.

Um, yeah, ditto to everything ETHIOPIAN_PRINCESS said :0)

I think Vanessa looks good in these ads. Just an FYI, if she was dating Nick for the money, she should have stayed with Derek Jeter who she dated for 3 years before Nick, he has a ton more money than Nick! Her and Nick look extremely happy together and I hope it works out for them.
Hey, she works on ET and MTV-she has a real job, not mooching off her parent's wealth-gotta give some respect to that over Richie and Kristin Cavalleri...

This pose looks super awkward. She is hunched forward but pushin' her booty out... Not a good pic at all IMHO. And the shoes.... dear lord, ick.

she's not so good.

I don't care about her race, I just think she always looks like a Beauty Pageant Loser.

Only dates famous guys, b/c she wants to be "seen"- Kim Kardashian should be her friend- they have much in common.

I love her. She is gorgeous and classy. She looks amazing in the ad's and is waaaaaaay better than Jessica Simpson for Nick.

P.S. Kristen C. is DUNZO. Her 15 mins are very much up...

Pretty girl.

I wouldn't say she's "classy". She's not a gold digger, because she does fine on her own, but she IS a famerunner (the type to latch onto someone who will give her the most media attention possible at a given moment). But even famerunners find love. The proof will be when Nick's every move isn't captured by the press if she sticks around.

lol bongo...where is that even sold?

anyway she is apparently irish, italian and either polynesian or filipino

"Her father is an American of Italian and Irish descent; the ethnicity of her estranged mother has been ambiguous with Minnillo's reference to her as being a Filipina from the province of Leyte [1] [2] and then recently referring to her mother as Polynesian [3] during an interview with Maxim Magazine for her cover story in the October 2006 issue."

oh and people disliked her WAY before her f-bomb...the whole famerunner thing.

I guess i just don't understand the whole famerunner thing...she has her own show (of sorts)...she makes her own money...and has dated famous people before but somehow being with Nick makes her evil...lol...??? :S

hello-did we find ot if she has kids

I never said being with Nick Lachey made her evil. Please don't put words into other people's mouths. I actually have no opinion on her personally one way or the other. I've met her, she's pretty, but standoffish.

And "famerunner" is different from a fame ho. A famerunner is merely a semi/minor celeb who dates a string of famous people.
