I have been getting a ton of Nick Lachey hits lately... mostly for shirtless shots... which, btw, can be found here and here.
But I think the increased hits has more to do with the extra press the former Newlywed-der is getting for his soul-bearing, heart-breaking personal "tell all" account of his break-up with Jessica Simpson... and, oh... if that wasn't enough, Nick obliges with another shirtless pose for the Rolling Stone piece as well...

In my opinion, Nick has become the most sympathetic figure in celebrity split-dom in recent memory... amazingly even eclipsing Jennifer Aniston... who didn't look like she would be relinquishing the world title of "Most Offered Shoulder To Cry On."
But, Nick is certainly winning the PR battle in this one whether he intends to or not... not that I have any true basis to believe it, but he strikes me as a very sincere person, a genuinely nice guy... however, the cynic in me thinks that all this may all be the shrewdest move since Ms. Simpson played the "dumb" card.
Here are some cherry-picked quotes from the RS interview:
On the split not being a mutual decision:
"I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over... I was told."
"I never wanted to be a divorce. I wanted us to be happy. I guess we differed on strategy. It breaks my heart that I couldn't make Jessica happy. I wanted to be everything to my wife. I wanted her to look at me with love in her eyes, the way she did at the beginning, and have her feel like I was the most wonderful, awe-inspiring man on the planet. And when that stopped, it was the worst feeling in the world."
Dr. Phil Intervention time:
He wipes his face, eyes to nose to chin.
"I'd marry her all over again," he says softly. "Because I still love her. It would be a lot easier to walk away if I didn't."
On meeting one of Jess' alleged lovers (and the not so comforting answer):
"Adam (Levine of Maroon 5) and I were in a club not long ago and he came over to me to clear the air," says Lachey. "It was a two-minute conversation. He said to me: 'Nothing happened while you guys were married.'
He looked me in the eyes and said that, so I chose to believe him.
"Maybe it's naive of me," Lachey continues. "But I believe what comes out of people's mouths when they talk to me. Maybe I'm an idiot. But that's what I do."
On marriage counseling:
"On the day she filed for divorce, I drove to her parents' house and tried to change her mind. I had done the research and I had the number of the best marriage counselor in town. I thought we owed it to ourselves to try with a third party. You get to a point where there is so much animosity you can't hear each other. But she didn't want to go."
On his reported request for alimony:
"I haven't requested alimony at all," Lachey says adamantly. "I have no intention of filing for spousal support. And I've been clear with Jessica about not wanting it."
