It was 'revealed' earlier today that Nick Lachey was suing his estranged wife Jessica Simpson for �breach of contract�.

Despite reporting on this juicy piece of gossip we now hold our hands up to say...we were duped!!! And they got us good!!!

According toDateline Hollywood.com, recent court documents state that Lachey is suing Simpson for ending their marriage three months before the couple contractually agreed to be publicly married.

Lachey�s attorney allegedly wrote in the documents: "Mr. Lachey signed over to Ms. Simpson all royalties from '98 Degrees' songs, his appearance on an MTV reality show to promote her albums and perfume line, and his soul in exchange for 41 months of marriage that would keep him in the public spotlight,"

"The couple has been married only 38 months and Ms. Simpson is in violation of the contract, ending the union early."

Fools that we were to run the story..however,I still stand by my belief that Nick Lachey probably would sell his soul for another three years in the media spotlight...or perhaps not...(thank you National Ledger!!!)
