Nick Lachey, 'What's Left of Me' (2006)

Rumored inspiration: Jessica Simpson

Lyrical strike: "I don't wanna waste another day/Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes."

Ditty history: They invited the world into their marriage on "Newlyweds," but Jessica and Nick didn't even come ... moreclose to making it until death do they part. He says he was "blindsided" when she asked for a divorce after three years of camera-chronicled matrimony, and he responded by doing what former boy-banders do, namely, recording a schmaltzy ballad about his misery. On the plus side, he hooked up with Vanessa Minnillo after she starred in the "What's Left of Me" video.
