A Sham Marriage?

I know that tabloids often lie and that I shouldn't believe what I read on celeb news websites - but this one was too good to pass up.

The Newlyweds (aka Nick and Jessica) have recently filed for divorce. In an interesting twist to the story, Nick is now suing Jessica for Breach of Contract.

According to A Socialite's Life:

According to court documents, Nick Lachey has sued estranged spouse Jessica Simpson for ending their marriage three months before the pair contractually agreed to stay together.

“"Mr. Lachey signed over to Ms. Simpson all royalties from ’98 Degrees’ songs, his appearance on an MTV reality show to promote her albums and perfume line, and his soul in exchange for 41 months of marriage that would keep him in the public spotlight,"” wrote Lachey'’s attorney. "“The couple has been married only 38 months and Ms. Simpson is in violation of the contract, ending the union early."

In a written response, Simpson'’s lawyers argued that since Lachey would continue to receive publicity until the divorce is official in several months, she is still fulfilling her contractual obligations.

So this marriage was a complete sham? Did Nick only marry Jessica to get famous? But I thought Nick was more famous than Jessica when they got married. Hmmm - makes you really think what is fake out there.
