Recent rumors indicate that Jessica Simpson and Vanessa Minnillo are feuding over a man other than Nick Lachey. Who’s the new object off the two starlets’ attenttion? Hairdresser Ken Paves, of course.

Ken has been Jessica’s stylist for quite some time, but recently Vanessa has been courting him to work on her locks. While Simpson let Minnillo have Lachey, she’s not taking the intrusion on her hairdresser quite so lightly.

Star insiders reported:  “Jess is furious with Vanessa for going after her longtime stylist, Ken. Vanessa had her assistant contact Ken in March to find out his availability.  They couldn’t lock anything down, so Vanessa called Ken in early April.  He told her he’d be happy to take her on.”

Well, that didn’t sit well with Jessica, the report claims. “She found out,” says the source, “and lashed out at Ken and called him a traitor and tried to force him to choose between her and Vanessa!”

No word yet on how Paves is going to handle the situation, but we’ll be sure keep you updated if anything progresses.
