Jessica Simpson and husband Nick Lachey reluctantly smile for the photographers

Jessica Simpson and husband Nick Lachey went shopping near their Calabasas home early this week. Followed by 9 vehicles, it seemed like a wagon train as the Paparazzi followed them to the Von's supermarket.

Because of the constant rumors and speculation of the demise of Jessica and Nick's marriage, the photographers have been following the couple daily. Wherever they travel around in LA there is a pack of cars following. The photographers follow the couple in hopes of getting some kind of a "scoop". The Paparazzi and the magazines have put the couple under a microscope in hopes that someone will be able to break the story when and if they seperate. This has put a lot of preassure on both Nick and Jessica and sometimes it shows in their not wanting to be photographed.

As the couple shopped the photographers in their vehicles zoomed around the parking lot looking for the "perfect" vantage point to take photos of the couple leaving. The photographers made a packed with each other to give the couple room when they came out of the supermarket. But, there is no honor among thieves in this business.

But, as is always the case one photographer jumped out of his car and then all the rest followed suit when the couple exited the Vons supermarket. With 9 Paparazzi taking photos, a smiling Nick told the shooters, that they "really need to find a better line of work."
