Vanessa Minnillo Terribly Excited About Her First Real Acting Job

Those are some ugly shoes. Vanessa Minnillo was at the Reebok Around the World in One Day Event gushing about the fact that some crackhead director liked what she could do for him on the casting couch and the fact that she worked for bargain basement prices and hired her. And it's gone to her head, as she's talking to the press about "character arcs" and stuff. She probably plays the best friend, or Hooker #3 or a cable television personality. I'm sure it's an emotional journey. Vanessa says that her boyfriend, dumb jock Nick Lachey, is her "biggest cheerleader" and always very supportive of her. When asked if she ran lines with Nick, she says no because she starts cracking up and "I start to giggle with him and I can't take him seriously. It's just one big mess!" I'll say.
