Finally some good news coming out of this crap-ass economy!
Nick Lachey and Rachael Ray helped out town-in-need Wilmington, Ohio, by providing a complete makeover for their local soup kitchen.
The town recently suffered major economic devastation when several businesses, including DHL Express, which employed a large percentage of the town, closed this summer, leaving thousands unemployed. Needless to say, the soup kitchen couldn't possibly accommodate the swelling numbers of needy citizens.
Rachael Ray's show (which has been feeling the love lately) revealed the makeover on Saturday, and has also promised to stock the pantry shelves for the next year. I assume that all of this food will be totally 'delish.'
Nick admits that this is just a drop in the bucket.
"This is one community out of a multitude across the country that needs help," Lachey said, "and what I'm hoping is that this raises awareness about hunger and pushes people to go out in their own communities, help out."
What a guy! This is far from being his only foray into the world of philanthropy. Now I feel less guilty about watching/ loving "Newlyweds." But not by much. Stop judging me!
Here's Nick now with on-again lady-friend, Vanessa Minnillo, waiting for the valet guy to get their car. By-the-by, despite breaking up, dating various rebound people, and then getting back together, these two are still yawnsville. I'm just saying.

Betty says:
Nick still hasn't proposed and she doesn't have enough pride to break up with him. Vanessa is all about his bank account. She doesn't even have a car. She has to drive his. The past three years she should've saved some money and moved on to someone who'd marry her. She is not a smart industry chick.
