There are rumors circulating that Jessica Simpson is only going around with John Mayer in order to make a certain ex-husband jealous.

Apparently she doesn't know just how fun and fearless Nick Lachey can be.

But Cosmopolitan does - and the magazine just awarded Nick the honor of Fun and Fearless Man of the Year.

We're not entirely sure what that honor means, but it sounds enjoyable and brave to us. And Lachey looks mighty proud in the image below. We're guessing Vanessa Minnillo is also happy for her man.

In other news, Paris Hilton won the Slutty and Desperate award. Congrats to all.
