Smart Girl

From today’s Boston Globe:
Danielle Calo, the 19-year-old Ohio State University student who made headlines when she claimed Nick Lachey hit on her while at a high school football game in Columbus, Ohio, in September, told the syndicated TV show Extra that she doesn’t think she’s the reason Lachey and Jessica Simpson broke up. ”There’s no way I had that much of an effect on their marriage. No way,” she said of the breakup of the glam couple.

I love that she thought — for even a second — that it could possibly have been her fault they broke up. Maybe I’m just out of the gossip loop, but I’ll bet all he really did was just look in her direction or say “Hi.” (She claims he told her, “I’m not going to lie to you. I think you’re really hot and I want to hook up with you,” and then they French kissed for an hour in his hotel room. Puh. Leeze. Nick’s not the smartest guy, but he isn’t that stupid sounding.)
