Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey made a last-ditch effort to save their marriage with a week-long vacation to Italy, Ireland Online reported. The couple, who celebrate their third anniversary today, visited Florence, other towns in Tuscany and rented a villa on the beach, music manager Lou Pearlman said. According to Pearlman, Lachey told him, “We did a lot of wine tasting. My favorite was Chianti. I must have gained 8 or 9 pounds. My six-pack is buried under all that food!”
Apparently, when Gordon Ramsay is not testing food at his restaurants or for his television shows, he’s sticking his foot in his mouth.
The celebrity chef told Radio Times that young British women “can’t cook to save their lives.” Trying to promote his new British TV show, “The F-Word,” Ramsay, 38, added: “When they eat, they cheat – it is ready meals and pre-prepared meals all the way. Seriously, there are huge numbers of young women out there who know how to mix cocktails but can’t cook to save their lives, whereas men are finding their way into the kitchen in ever-growing numbers.”
