Nick Lachey says he is shocked by all the hype being made over his ex-wife Jessica Simpson’s new curves.

“I wish her nothing but the best, and I hope she’s happy – whatever size that comes in,” he tells Extra. “I can’t believe it’s this big of a story and people are making such a huge deal about it. I’m never ceased to be amazed by people’s reactions to things.”

“I think this is absolutely ridiculous. People are being so mean,” Paula Abdul told Us. “People don’t realize that it’s damaging to one’s psyche. For women, it’s hard enough to be accepted for how you are.”Rose McGowan told Us she wants Simpson to say “eff off” to critics.

“It’s sad because you see a lot of male actors who gain a lot of weight in between roles,” she told Us. “The reality is, if I went and gained 30 pounds in between roles, I wouldn’t get roles. I think that’s sexism, and it drives me crazy!”

Added Jordana Brewster, “I think she is beautiful. I think it’s really, really hard in Hollywood because there is an absurd standard that is really hard. It absolutely sucks. She shouldn’t be judged so harshly.”

In December’s Cosmopolitan, Jessica Simpson says Tony Romo is different from past men she’s romanced — including ex-husband Nick Lachey.

“I’d always fall for guys I wanted to save,” she says. “For the first time, I fell in love with someone who saved me.”

She says she wouldn’t rule out wedding the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, whom she began dating last year.

“I think any person who I’m gonna date for longer than six months, I definitely am investing in something long-term,” she says. “If I get married again, then it will be the last time.

“Nick will always be a part of my life,” says Simpson, who divorced Lachey nearly three years ago. “But next time, I’m marrying the right one.”

In October, Simpson shot down rumors that she and Romo were getting hitched.

“Tony and I have not gone to Neiman Marcus — somebody said we bought a ring there,” she said. “I couldn’t drag Tony in to Neiman Marcus if I tried.”

Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband Nick Lachey doesn’t regret marrying the singer, despite their emotionally-charged public divorce.

The Newlywed stars split in 2005 following a three-year union documented on their reality TV show.

But Lachey insists his highly-publicized break-up with the pop star has helped him become a better man.

He says, “I think that life is unexpected in a lot of ways… You certainly can’t predict or script the way life is going to turn out. The best you can do is just roll with those punches and be a better person for it in the end.”

Nick Lachey is returning to his roots.

The former Newlyweds star is executive producing a pilot for an MTV reality show, which the network describes as a version of the ’80s movie and TV show Fame, according to The Hollwood Reporter.

The yet-to-be-named program focuses on students at the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, Lachey’s alma mater. (Sarah Jessica Parker and Carmen Electra are also famous former students.)

“The stories and relationships are all set to music that’s organic to what’s going on in the school and also performed by the kids,” Tony DiSanto, executive VP of series development and programming at the network, tells the Reporter. “This is a genre-busting, creative experiment that I’m really excited about.”

As an example DiSanto said a scene could feature kids breaking into dance in the cafeteria, which sounds a lot like a real-life High School Musical, or the soundtrack could come from a scene in which a student is practicing his or her instrument.

Lachey, who proposed the project, is executive producing it with Marc Platt and Russell Heldt.
