This news is gonna gonna help Nick Lachey receive votes in our survey.

The former boy band member and Jessica Simpson lackee has been named one of the wussiest artists in music, according to Blender magazine. Sadly, Lachey couldn't even earn the number-one spot in this poll. He had to settle for second behind James Taylor.

Here's the publication's justification for such a ranking:

Granted, if we'd been dumped by Jessica Simpson, we'd probably be pretty bummed, too. But Lachey's new D-I-V-O-R-C-E album wallows in so much misery and self-pity it makes Morrissey sound like the Pussycat Dolls.

"There's only so many tears that you can cry," the ex-Newlywed sobs on one track. Let's hope he's right - for everyone's sake.

The Gossip is sure of one thing: Derek Jeter only shed tears of World Series rings!
