Newly Single Nick Back to Work

Nick Lachey, whose split from Jessica Simpson was announced last week, is about to go back to work – as another newlywed.

The actor-singer is working on a new sitcom for the WB network in which he'd play a baseball star involved in a new marriage, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

There's no title yet for the show, which comes from Danny Jacobson, the co-creator and executive producer of NBC's relationship comedy Mad About You. Jacobson tells the trade paper that the show will be "a romantic comedy under the microscope."

Lachey previously did several guest spots on the WB show Charmed.

The career news comes despite a tough holiday weekend for Lachey, 32, and Simpson, 25, who announced their separation in a statement just before Thanksgiving.

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," the statement read. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

Nick Lachey's Boys' Weekend


Nick Lachey – whose split from Jessica Simpson was announced Wednesday – has been spending some quality time with the boys. Most recently, he waved the starting flag at the Ford 400 NASCAR Nextel Cup, and the racecars weren't the only ones making the rounds that weekend in Florida.

Lachey and fellow newly single pal A.J. DiScala hit Miami Beach nightclub Mansion at around 1 a.m. Saturday, unwittingly walking into a party hosted by Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and porn star Ron Jeremy. Once they realized they were at an X-rated bash, Lachey and DiScala beat a hasty retreat.

The next night, after the NASCAR race in Homestead, Fla., Lachey (sans wedding ring) hosted a private party at the hot new South Beach hotel The Setai with brother Drew and DiScala. About 30 revelers, including NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip, drank Grey Goose vodka at the courtyard bar, while Lachey occasionally left his group of buddies to chat with one pretty blonde guest.

Just after 1 a.m., Lachey and his crew headed to a private NASCAR party hosted by racer Jeff Gordon at a waterfront home on the exclusive Hibiscus Island near South Beach. There, they checked out the "Destiny" yacht docked by the house before returning to the party, where the group jammed to a set by Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein alongside Lennox Lewis, Marcus Schenkenberg, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Johnny Damon and Latin star Ana Cristina. The Lachey posse finally called it a night around 2:15.
