Them Hollywood paparazzi are everywhere - even in Utah.

The celebrity web sites JustJared.com and Splash News Online published photos of Nick Lachey (former boy-band member and Jessica Simpson's ex) and Vanessa Minnillo (former host of MTV's "Total Request Live") poolside at a Salt Lake City hotel.

Lachey's in Salt Lake City this summer, as host of ABC's reality show "High School Musical: Get in the Picture." Minnillo's here because Lachey's here.

You have to wonder, though, about how much the folks who run these celeb web sites really hate their jobs - or hate themselves - based on the snarky commentary accompanying the photos. Take this from Splash News:

Why Salt Lake? No, they haven't converted to Mormonism (evidenced by the beer Vanessa drinks from) but Nick has actually been working. Seriously. A real job. Not just appearing somewhere or presenting the most expensive "Hot Wheels" car but a proper job hosting ABC's reality show "High School Musical: Get In The Picture."
Well, at least it's a proper job for the ex-boybander and current Z-list residing Nick. The sad part is, with "High School Musical" in the title, a chimpanzee could be hosting this show and the ratings would be through the roof.
Actually, I think the chimp would be more charismatic.

Really, if your job was spending all day writing snide comments about people you hate, wouldn't you be hitting the want ads?
