BONGO Loves Their IT MTV Girls

January 6, 2007

Krisin Cavallari was BONGO's girl in 2006, but they have dumped her for a fresh face for the new year. Vanessa Minnillo will be the IT girl of BONGO's Spring 2007 campaign. Dating Nick has done nothing but good things for Vanessa, and she looks hot in these ads. Maybe the new year will also bring a wedding for Vanessa as well. Who do you like better as the BONGO girl... Kristin or Vanessa or perhaps BONGO team, DJ AM and Nicole from way back when?

RemieGrl I agree it seems all too familiar; didn't Jessica's career sky rocket after marrying Nick? Weird.

FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE I didn't know her race. It's hard for me to tell cause everyone is so tan these days. Don't hate me but I love the shoes. I think her pic is cute, air brushed to death and makes her legs look short.

And stop with the freaking race card already. She's Italian and Irish, as well as Filipina. I really doubt anyone cares about that. She's a beautiful woman.

i don't buy famerunner thing. she could date people who are more famour than nick, even if it's just short term. she has dated more famous people and it seems clear that she was the dumper in at least relationship with derek jeter. i'm sure that in her relationships with regular folk, she doesn't make news so to say that she only dates famous guys is unfair. we don't know that. i've started defending her because i think people are so unfair to her. i don't know if it's because of her race. i have to wonder though... it's not because most of you love jessica. few do and even then, loyalty to her doesn't mean you have reason to hate the gf of the man she dumped

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

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.

hello-did we find ot if she has kids

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

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 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.

Pretty girl.

pinkyplum 6 years 19 weeks

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...

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.

Daisy6264 6 years 19 weeks

she's not so good.

etab 6 years 19 weeks

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.

blackjack1 6 years 19 weeks

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...

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

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

gossipqueen 6 years 19 weeks

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!

atoxicsparkle 6 years 19 weeks

I def like Vanessa better than Richie or Kristen!

lolak 6 years 19 weeks

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

tifygodess24 6 years 19 weeks

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...
