Back at the beginning of this century, Jessica was a sweet, virginal pop star with bleached blond hair, a phenomenal voice and a killer rack. In 2002, she married sweetheart and fellow pop star Nick Lachey and put Chicken of the Sea on the map with their reality show Newlyweds. But three years later the two split, and five years after that Jess’s name has become synonymous with being dumb, up and down weight gain and now, thanks to John Mayer, being very, very good in bed.

John and Jessica have had an on and off relationship since they started dating in 2006. John may have claimed that Jessica was his drug, but after their break-up after a year of dating, she sure seemed to be hooked on him. She kept going back to him, and each and every time it would end up in the press. John is not a discrete guy.

Back in May 2007 when news of their split first broke, a source told People, “They have broken up. But they have broken up and gotten back together at least 10 times before.” A few months later, Gawker caught Jess leaving John’s NYC apartment. There were also rumors that Jessica was stalking John, and in 2008 he wrote a message on his blog to an “Ex Lover” who many thought was her. “Perhaps you didn’t understand the last time I told you to stop contacting me, so I’ll do my best to spell it out for you,” he wrote. “I do not wish to have you in my life anymore.”

But apparently that humiliation wasn’t enough for Jessica to just write off this jerk. Last year, her relationship with Tony Romo endedthe night before her big birthday party, reportedly because he found texts from John on her phone. What followed was, of course, more rumors about a reunion with John. Ew.

Hopefully, Jessica has finally learned her lesson and she is cutting all ties with loose-lipped John. Maybe Oprah will make her promise to stay away.

On Thursday, March 19 at 10p.m. ET/PT MTV will premiere a new reality musical series called Taking The Stage.  The show which was conceptualized and executive produced by Nick Lachey (98 Degrees),  will follow the lives of five talented students at the former boy bander’s alma mater, the School For Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hit the jump to see a break down of the main characters.

Jasmine – A prima ballerina who dreams of attending New York performing arts conservatory The Juilliard School after graduating from SCPA.

Mia – A singer-songwriter whose talent is matched only by her drive and her goal is to be signed by the time she is 18.

Tyler – A gifted hip-hop dancer, he is new to SCPA where he joins his little brother Chris (also a dancer and already a student) and attracts attention from everyone at the school.

Malik – Jasmine’s best friend and leads the school’s only hip-hop dance group, “The Definition.” In addition to his formidable dance skills, he is also a talented choreographer and a singer/songwriter.

Shaakira – A dancer and aspiring actress, she is also an accomplished ballet dancer — one of the best SCPA has ever produced — but prefers hip-hop dance and is an integral member of Malik’s team.

Nick Lachey became a household name on Newlyweds, the reality show about his new life with then wife Jessica Simpson.  Now, the former boy band member is planning his comeback to MTV but this time he’ll be producing.  

Nick’s 10-week series begins March 19 and focuses on a few students at Cincinnati’s School for Creative and Performing Arts, where Lachey graduated in 1992.

Here’s what Nick recently said about the upcoming show:

“I am really excited about that show because it is based on my old school, The Cincinnati School for Creative & Performing Arts, and will be a kind of “Fame” story. We are profiling six or seven high school seniors as they go through life not just as teenagers but as teenagers in the performing arts. I’ve been working on this for over a year and it’s exciting to get it on MTV.”
