Whipped: (Adjective) The state of being controlled by your significant other.

While discussing her upcoming "film" Disaster Movie, Vanessa Minnillo made a somewhat embarrassing admission about Nick Lachey: that he said 'I Love You' first. Hee hee hee!

"He just can't drop the L-word," Minnillo, 27, tells PEOPLE of her character's commitment-challenged boyfriend. "And what a girl wants more than anything in the world is for their boyfriend to say 'I love you.' "

But, says Minnillo, her real-life beau Nick Lachey, 34, doesn't have any similar hang-ups: "The L-word is not thrown around by men as easily as it is by women - but I didn't say it first! He's very loving. We're very open and vocal." (Source)

Oh, of course he said it first -- because Nick Lachey is clearly one of those guys who finds a girl and latches on like one of those parasitic, face-sucking aliens. God forbid he actually went for more than like a month without being in a committed relationship; I think his balls would descend from the inside of his body, his voice would drop three octaves and he would totally forget his department store purse-holding skills. Kind of like Flowers for Algernon Syndrome, only for extremely pussy-whipped dudes.
