Lindsay & Knife Might Cost Minnillo


The "not so" mystery brunette posing sexily with a knife at Lindsay Lohan's throat in photos (posted by celeb photo agency x17) that ran in yesterday's New York Post is Vanessa Minnillo, who might have a hard time getting a new job because of the risqué party pictures.

One of the photos from last summer shows Minnillo pulling down Lohan's tank top. Another shows her with face upturned, eyes closed and lips parted, as if about to kiss the wild child, who is now 20 and in rehab.

Minnillo, 26, was host of MTV's "TRL" and New York correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight," both Viacom shows, until her contract expired in April. The former date of Derek Jeter and current girlfriend of Nick Lachey did not renew with either show.

Last week, she co-hosted the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City with Mario López without incident. But the beauty is gaining a bad rep in the TV industry for her diva-like behavior at work and hard partying outside the studio.

While friends of Minnillo insist it was she who decided not to renew the contract with "ET," insiders say her bosses at CBS Paramount soured on her when she covered the Grammys in February. Minnillo was not assigned to the Academy Awards in March.

When producers flew her to Los Angeles to cover the Grammys, "she was extremely high maintenance," said one source. "She insisted they fly her own hair and makeup people and her personal assistant out with her every time she flew to L.A. She only flew first class and stayed at the Four Seasons, and then she didn't want to work.

"Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them," said the source. "She wouldn't conduct post-show interviews because she wanted to party. She expected to be paid a full-time salary for a part-time job."

Regardless of the scandalous photos breaking, Vanessa stepped out with Nick last night for dinner in Brentwood.

I thought that was her when I first saw the pic's. What the hell are they doing?? And I didn't know she wasn't doing TRL anymore. I'm way outta the loop. I still like her and Nick together.

I used to like Vanessa. My mind changed after what she did the night Jessica Simpson walked into a club and saw her with Nick. The break up of Jess and Nick was very new. Feelings were still raw. When Vanessa spotted Jess in the club, she went from sitting in a chair, to hopping up suddenly and giving Nick one very long, lewd, bump and grind lap dance and kept looking over her shoulder to make sure Jessica was watching. What a bitch. What a piece of trash.

It's about time that the Hollywood garbage is cast to the wayside and wholesome role models take the place of the trash that today's youth idolize as role models.

Anon 3:35 AM - You are absolutely right. I couldn't agree with you more. How much lower and sleazier do celebs have to become before young people finally get disgusted and start searching for better role models?

Boy, you get a little liquor in these chicks nowadays and the freak is on. They probably didn't want to be exposed that way so whoever put those pics out there like that(their own people)needs to be ashamed of themselves. Everybody else already knows about these chicks and the other ones we just wish that they would go away. Please go away!
