Lawyers for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are trying feverishly to keep photos of the two stars having sex in an array of positions off of the internet and out of the magazines.

TMZ Reports: Racy photos of the hot couple were published in this week’s Life & Style magazine, showing the two engaged in a heavy makeout session in a jacuzzi at a private resort in Mexico. We’re told, however, these photos only show part of the fun the couple had. Arriba!

TMZ has learned that the rest of the roll shows the two not only making out, but having hardcore sex in the hot tub. A source who has seen the photos tells TMZ that they are “Paris sex tape-level scandalous,” and include images of the couple in several different sex positions. That’s hot!

Photos of the pair naked showed up on Friday on Backseat Cuddler (View Here) of the two about to get into a hot tub.
