New York Post Online Edition: entertainment



"NEWLYWEDS" - the MTV show that follows pop stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees around for their first year of marriage - is turning into the kind of TV hit that could give album sales a real boost (hers just hit the Top 10 and his came out yesterday).



It's hard not to be fascinated by a pop princess who would rather buy new clothes than do laundry, wonders if her tuna fish is really tuna because it's called Chicken of the Sea ('a blonde moment' Simpson has said about that comment), goes camping with her Louis Vuitton bag and belches more than John Belushi in 'Animal House.'



Paula, another fan, can't decide what her favorite stupid-Jessica moment is.



'It's kind of like repulsive yet intriguing,' said Paula. 'Every single word out of her mouth, you think, 'Who could be stupider?' '



News reports already say the show has been optioned for a second season, something the stars were both up for.



"stupider?" oh that's good.
