Former 98 Degrees band member Jeff Timmons was busted April 23 for alleged
drunk driving and driving without a valid license.

Timmons, who sang alongside Nick Lachey and Drew Lachey in the popular 90s boy
band, was pulled over by deputies from the Brevard County, Fla. sheriff’s office
for going 60 mph in a 45 mph zone, after he left a celebrity softball game.

According to the police report, Timmons was driving with two "very intoxicated"
passengers, one of whom Timmons identified as Mitch English, host of the
syndicated tv show "The Daily Buzz." The police report indicates that English
said he was "unable to drive because he had way too much to drink."

When the police asked Timmons if he had had anything to drink that night,
Timmons first replied "a lot" and then said he "only had two beers." When the
officer checked Timmons’ record, it indicated that his driver’s license had
expired in 2005 and was suspended.

The arrest report indicates Timmons has a tattoo of 98 Degrees on his right arm.

When reached, Timmons had no comment. Calls to representatives for The Daily
Buzz were not returned.

Nick Lachey is now offering a more thorough peek inside his former marriage to Jessica Simpson than viewers were allowed to see on their Newlyweds reality series.

“Jessica and I began playing these parts even when we were by ourselves,” he says of their roles. “It became a really blurred line. There was a question about what truly was our reality.”

Lachey, 32, makes the comments to Rolling Stone in a new interview. Among the singer’s more startling revelations: “I’ll tell you how I knew my marriage was over: I was told.”

He tells the magazine he was “blindsided” when his then-wife told him after dinner last November: “I think I want a divorce.”

“I basically said, ‘Please, let’s sleep on it.’ But when we woke up the next day, Wednesday, she was still sure,” he says.

As for lingering doubts about his three-year-marriage, Lachey admits: “I don’t know if there were other men. But if she did cheat, it was the result of something bigger, not the reason we didn’t work. … Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had just walked in the house and found her in bed with a guy. That would be clear-cut. End of story. I wouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty of adultery.”

Lachey also lifts the veil on his feelings about ex-father-in-law (and Jessica’s manager) Joe Simpson. “I don’t pretend to understand Joe,” he says. “I don’t know if he ever liked me. To this day I couldn’t say. It was painful. Do I think Joe drove a rift between us? No. Was he an influence in our marriage? Absolutely.”

In related news, the music publication also says that singer-songwriter Adam Green has a big new hit in Germany called “Jessica,” described as an unflattering ditty about Nick’s ex. Its lyrics reportedly mention her “fraudulent smile” and “injections of cortisone.”
