TMZ has learned that a lawyer for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo is trying to keep photos of the couple having sex out of the weekly magazines and off the Internet.


Photos of the couple were published in this week showing the two in the nude in a jacuzzi at a private resort in Mexico. TMZ has learned that the rest of the roll shows the two not only making out, but having hardcore sex in the hot tub.


High-powered Hollywood attorney Marty Singer has sent a letter to the weekly mags, warning them that should they publish the steamy pics, they'll face one mother of a lawsuit. Don't mess with Marty!


Singer told TMZ

"The photos that were taken of our clients by a Mexican photographer violated Mexican law and were a clear invasion of privacy, and we have threatened to take legal action against third parties who publish the photos."

Ok look yes there are laws to protect celebs privacy but come on if you dont want everybody to see you like this - don't do it outside at a resort because there's always someone watching!!!

The mystery brunette posing with a knife with Lindsay Lohan's throat in photos that where all over yesterday is Vanessa Minnillo.


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 in rehab.

They say that men always go for the "same type" - so is Nick Lachey's new girl Vanessa Minnillo just a darker Jessica Simpson??


They both wear short shorts and big sunglasses


They both like white floaty dresses and high heals


and they both like rock t-shirts!!!


The big question though is - does Vanessa know what Chicken of the Sea is ???

Nick Lachey had told Extra that he wants to be a dad

"I'd like to believe I'll have a family and have kids of my own. For me, it's what I look forward to more than anything else."

As for whether that future family includes Vanessa Minnillo, the lady Lachey has been spending a lot of time with, he would only say

"She's a great friend. I'll leave it at that."

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey put some PDA on full display at New York City's Atlantic Grill on Monday.





Hmmm Jessica who .......!
