Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are back together. Well, well, well. That was quick. Guess Nick and Vanessa both needed to get it out of their system befere they gave it another go (again). The two briefly split back in June, and God knows why we all care so much. What has either done (really) in the past year? Oh, wait, UsWeekly just said Nick is co-owner of a site called winnit.com. OK.

Anyway, Nick said (via usmagaizne.com):

“I am happy in a relationship,” he said Thursday on Good Day Philadelphia. “I was single for a minute there, and then we’ve kind of patched things up…He gushed that “she’s a very smart girl. She’s far smarter than I. “We’re trying to figure things out. I don’t pretend to know what the future holds, but everything’s good. Vanessa’s a good girl, and I care about her a lot.”

Translation: He couldn’t find anything better. Fair enough. Here’s to another year of non-commitment!
