While they may never be able to say "adios" to the paparazzi, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo aren't sitting idly by as steamy photographs taken on their Mexican getaway make the tabloid rounds.

E! News has confirmed that Lachey has enlisted celebrity attorney Martin Singer to inform multiple magazines that they'll be playing with fire if they opt to publish the more graphic shots from a roll of film that supposedly features the singer and his TV personality paramour getting ultra-romantic in the hot tub at a private villa near Puerto Vallarta.

The July 9 issue of Life & Style already features shots of the couple frolicking on the beach, canoodling in the Jacuzzi and nakedly toweling off (with all body parts censored) on the villa's patio. But Lachey, 33, and Minnillo, 26, are obviously in no mood to see the more intimate moments of their vacation become an international event.
