Churchill Downs rolled out the red carpet and lined it with rose petals today for celebrities arriving for the Kentucky Derby.
Since the race itself lasts only a couple of minutes, NBC dragged out cute couple Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey as part of a two-hour pre-show.

They look pretty cute together but remember how hot Jess looked that time at the derby with the big pink hat!! I still can’t warm too much to Vanessa she seems like she’s really full of herself or something….and could she look any more trophy wife here? Nick looks hot as always!
she is so digustingly annoying. i saw her on tv and she IS SO CONCIETED & FULL OF HERSELF!!
I bet Jess is a bit irked.
I do not like her.i think she loves the spotlight.she tries to copy jessia.i recetnly read where vanessa contacted ken paves to do her hair.
smack her please. She annoys me beyond belief.
yeuk- this is not a good look for her and i cant put my finger on it. it brings to mind a dowdy farmers wife or something- but i don’t know if its the outfit or if its her.
race day fashion is so different from anything else that it can be pretty hard to get right. i’d be pretty pissed if i paid money for a stylist and still ended up looking like shit!
She has a huge face.
I think they look adorable.
They look ridiculous- like Kentucky Derby Barbie & Ken- with matching outfits!
They look so good together!
There is something about that Vanessa that I just don’t like. She seems a bit contrived.
i hate the way she’s sticking her tits out like that
I like her shoes, very demure. The dress & hat… meh.
I concur with everyone…BUT he looks so hppy, he never looked that happy or confident while he was with her!
She’s the poor-mans’s Eva Longoria…
She needs a better stylist. I think it would make all the difference in her “likeability.”
They are adorable!
