Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo: Sex Tape Preview?

You've heard all the celebrity gossip by now:

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo nude photos are on the way. Maybe even a sex tape.

Pick your jaws up off the floor, fellas, and take a look at the pictures below. They were published in Life & Style magazine, a possible precursor to even racier photos to come. If there's anything that can push a Nicole Richie pregnancy off the front pages, it's this.

Here's a quick recap of this alluring news: Lachey and Minnillo were on vacation in Mexico. They assumed they were alone. They proceeded to have the sort of sex in a hot tub that would make Olivia Mojica blush.

Reportedly, the couple has agreed to an exclusive interview with the aforementioned publication in exchange for keeping the lewd pics private. We hope this isn't true, of course. As hot as recent Katharine McPhee pictures from Stuff magazine are, they'd be nothing compared to Minnillo in the buff.

Unlike images of Kim Kardashian nude - which are as common as Britney Spears' nightly jaunts to Hollywood clubs - Vanessa isn't seen naked nearly as often. Here's to hoping that soon changes.
