So we all know that Jessica Simpson is going to co-host the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. But I didn't know that Nick Lachey was nominated for an award this year.  This will be the first offical engagement that the couple will attend since the divorce. I am sure the producers will work their magic and prevent any contact between the two before the show. But Nick will have to watch his ex on stage all night and Jessica will be on stage KNOWING that Nick is watching her. I don't know which is worse.

Jessica Simpson has been tapped as cohost of the Teen Choice Awards, and she may have her work cut out for her at the Aug. 20 event. Not only is she a nominee, but so is her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, and his new squeeze, Vanessa Minnillo. (source)
