Simpson/Lachey appear blissful

NEW YORK, July 15 (UPI) -- "Newlyweds" Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey looked married as ever canoodling at ESPN's ESPY awards in Los Angeles this week, it was reported Friday.

There have been rumors for months about trouble on the homefront for the MTV reality show couple and an anonymous email sent to media outlets claims "Dukes of Hazzard" co-stars Simpson and Johnny Knoxville were getting ready to go public with an alleged affair, the New York Post said Friday.

Simpson spokesman Brad Cafarelli told the Post the missive was just another hoax aimed at the celebrity couple.

"This is all absolutely false," he said. "The entire story is a complete lie."
