This is just an FYI – Sofia Vergara is blonde now! Sofia tweeted the above photo yesterday to show off her new shade. I think this is probably closer to her natural hair color. Sofia has said in several interviews that she dyed her hair brown when she came to Hollywood because no one believed that a Latina would naturally have blonde hair. It’s not the Hollywood stereotype! So she dyed her hair darker, although there are several early-modeling shots of Sofia where you can see her natural dirty-blonde hair.

So, considering it’s close to her natural color… I like it. I’m glad she didn’t go platinum-blonde, she went for more of a caramel-honey blonde, and the shade suits her skin and eyes. I’m assuming she’s done filming Modern Family for the season because I think this might be too big of a change for the Gloria character, right?

Incidentally, we got a funny/gross tip yesterday from someone who had some dealings with Sofia’s fiancé Nick Loeb several years ago. This tipster – who wants to remain anonymous – says that Nick “is indeed a complete d–k and tool. He is nothing but arrogant.” The tipster also claims that at the time, Nick “had a book of women he screwed and at the time it was something like 800. He did do drugs, and much more.” ALLEGEDLY!! I mean, last year there were some sordid reports of his womanizing, his affection for hookers and orgies, and his love affair with sweet lady cocaine. But Nick denied all of those reports. But did he ever get around to suing anybody? Hm. Anyway, this is the guy that Sofia is going to marry. And she’s going to have a baby with him too. Via surrogacy because she doesn’t want to mess up her body.

I’m really not one to play into stereotypes about Latinas, but dear God, is Sofia Vergara a major drama queen or what? I like Sofia a lot – and I would like her a lot more if she would dump her fiancé Nick Loeb, who seems like the biggest tool in the toolbox of life. But I have to admit, Sofia seems to enable his douche drama, and perhaps she even thrives on his drama and the drama they create together. Is Sofia even capable of being a normal guy who isn’t into crazy partying and clubbing and luxury vacations and stuff? Probably not. Anyway, here’s what went down with Sofia and Nick over New Year’s:

Sofia Vergara and her fiancé, Nick Loeb, got into a New Year’s Eve fight while clubbing in Miami — which ended with her dress ripped down and him being thrown out by security. Loeb began arguing with the Colombian-born beauty in front of revelers at hot new Miami club Story, where they were being hosted by nightlife king Chris Paciello, whom Vergara dated in the late ’90s.

Witnesses exclusively tell us that Loeb later got into a dispute with a group at a nearby table. A scuffle started, and security grabbed him and threw him out of the club’s back door with Vergara — TV’s highest-paid and most popular actress — following behind.

A spy said: “Nick seemed tense around Chris, who was hosting them in the VIP section, even though he and Sofia are just friends. In the early hours, Nick and Sofia were arguing before he got into a dispute with somebody at a neighboring table. Some pushing and shoving started.

“Sofia stepped in to try to calm the situation, but somehow she ended up getting pushed and shoved also. Her strapless dress was torn or pulled down in the melee, exposing her cleavage in front of other people and her son Manolo who was so offended he left the club. It was crazy.”

Our source continued, “Nick was pulled away from Sofia and those at the next table by security guards, who dragged him out of the VIP section and threw him out of the club. Sofia followed him.”

Another source adds, “Things got pretty heated, but she was never hit. Nick was pretty bruised from struggling with security. None of the drama was Sofia’s fault, but despite the big scene [Loeb] created, they made up outside the club, and she took him back to their hotel.”

Earlier in the night the couple were all smiles, as Vergara did the midnight countdown at Miami’s luxe Delano hotel.

“Modern Family” star Vergara and Loeb, who considered a 2010 run for Florida’s Senate, briefly split last May, but they reconciled weeks later. They were engaged in July. A rep for Vergara declined to comment; Loeb didn’t get back to us.

Here’s the subtext that I deciphered: Nick was pissed off because Sofia was flirting with “nightlife king Chris Paciello,” and instead of refusing to engage in Sofia’s self-perpetuating drama, Nick engaged, which was just what Sofia wanted. Nick went around, causing fights and yelling and being a drama queen, which was just what Sofia wanted. It got so bad that Sofia tatas came flying out, which was fine with her because why not? And then when they got kicked out, Sofia took Nick back to the hotel and they had wild, post-brawl makeup sex. Basically, the whole club brawl was their foreplay.

This story was in Page Six yesterday, and I saved the story and I thought about writing about it, but I wondered if maybe I was imagining things, like I was the only one who thought (and continues to think) that Sofia Vergara’s boyfriend-and-now-fiancé Nick Loeb is one shady d-bag. Obviously, I still think he’s kind of shady because I’m still wondering about those reports claiming Loeb is a sex addict who loves hookers and cocaine. And now I think he’s kind of a rude d-bag because of this Page Six story. But once again, I feel like I’m the only one ringing the Douchebag Alarm on this one… why isn’t anyone else talking about how shady this dude is?

Sofia Vergara got no help from sulky fiancé Nick Loeb when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction during Sunday night’s Emmy Awards. When the “Modern Family” actress’ sexy curves burst out of the back of her sparkling emerald Zuhair Murad dress as its zip popped, she tweeted a picture of her exposed booty saying, “Yes!!!! This happend 20 min before we won!!!!”

Backstage, things weren’t so lighthearted. According to a source, a frantic Vergara came storming through the halls with an entourage as she covered herself in Loeb’s jacket. “Someone in the front was screaming ‘Wardrobe! Wardrobe!’ and she was frantic and in tears,” says the spy. “Nick was trailing in the back looking annoyed.”

Loeb, the son of John Loeb Jr., who served President Ronald Reagan as ambassador to Denmark, was overheard saying, “Ugh, I need to smoke a cigarette. Her dress got stuck on the seat and made a huge rip. Her whole [bleep]ing ass was sticking out.”

Continues the spy: “He was just annoyed that she pulled them from the audience. He was huffing and puffing, and while she was getting pinned and sewn back in by a wardrobe assistant saying, ‘Let’s go Sofia!!,’ he didn’t say anything to comfort her.”

Once the dress drama was over, Vergara and Loeb seemed harmonious again as they hit the Emmy parties, where this time she stayed inside her sexy dress.

[From Page Six]

You can see the photo that Sofia Vergara tweeted here – her dress really did split in the back, and she was showing a lot of butt crack… but at least she was wearing a thong? Sidenote: I wish my butt looked that cute in an emergency. Anyway, I’m not saying that Sofia should demand that Nick Loeb protect that ass like his life depends on it, or that he treat a woman’s wardrobe malfunction like an epic drama… but at least show a little more concern than this, right?

Back in May, Sofia Vergara dumped her boyfriend of two years, Nick Loeb. The tabloids were going back and forth on who dumped who and why, but my take was (at the time and still to this day) that Sofia did the dumping because she’s a fiery free spirit, uninterested in being tied down and definitely not interested in being some wannabe politico’s wife (Nick Loeb has political aspirations). Of course, as The Enquirer claimed one month later, Nick Loeb might have issues beyond “being dumped by Sofia Vergara” – hooker and hooker-adjacent sources claimed that Loeb was/is a cokehead sex addict who pays for hooker services on the regular. Loeb denied that, of course, and he made some noise about suing… but I don’t think he has filed any lawsuits. Which makes me wonder.

All of that was just backstory for this – Nick Loeb and Sofia Vergara are back together. And he proposed to her on her 40th birthday (yesterday). And she said yes!

Sofia Vergara has more than just the big 4-0 to celebrate.

The Modern Family actress — who is currently enjoying a birthday extravaganza at a Mexico resort alongside 90 loved ones — is now engaged to her on-again love Nick Loeb, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

Wonderwall first broke the news of Vergara’s happy news and pointed out that on Monday night, Vergara showed off a tell-tale diamond sparkler in a photo posted on her friend Fernando Fiore’s Twitter.

The marriage will be the Three Stooges star’s second; the actress wed Joe Gonzalez as a teen, with whom she has a son, 20-year-old Manolo. (She and Gonzalez divorced in 1993).

Vergara first met the politically active Loeb (who considered a 2010 run for Florida’s state senate) at a Golden Globes party in 2010; the pair split ways after “fighting for a long time” in early May, though they reunited just a few weeks later.

“They have a crazy relationship,” an insider explained of the duo’s roller-coaster romance. “They break up and make up. They fight and make up hard!”

[From Us Weekly]

Hm… damage control on Nick’s part? Or did Sofia just play him because this was the endgame she wanted (“the ring”)? Or did Sofia just say “yes” because A) she was feeling a bit vulnerable on her 40th birthday or B) it will be easier to say “no” in a month? Of course, there’s another option. That they’re in love and they want to be married to each other. But I feel like so much sketchiness has gone down over the past few months, this “engagement” serves many different purposes. It’s very weird.

PS… Just think… Tom Cruise and Sofia dated before he even met Katie Holmes. Isn’t that so f—king weird?

Sofia Vergara covers the Spanish July issue of Vanity Fair, and she’s smoking a ciggie in grand fashion from the front of the magazine. Yes, I get this is an obvious “she’s smoking hot” message dreamt up by the photographer and approved by VF itself; but in this day and age, it’s a bit shocking to see what is essentially an advertisement for cigarettes on the cover of a (fairly) well-respected magazine. Maybe I’m making too big of a deal out of a silly metaphor though.

As for the other shot released by Vanity Fair, Sofia looks absolutely gorgeous in a tight black dress. I’m also envious of her highlights as I am obsessed with achieving the perfect set of subtle highlights. My current hairstylist does a pretty good job, but I’m thinking of taking this photo to her on my next visit.

Meanwhile, Sofia’s on-off boyfriend, politician Nick Loeb, is spitting mad at recent allegations in National Enquirer that he loves a good prostitute, Viagra, and Ecstasy cocktail on occasion. He’s not only publicly refuting these allegations but is also threatening to sue:

Prostitutes, parties in luxury hotel suites? Never!

Sofia Vergara’s boyfriend, Nick Loeb–who recently was accused of getting wild and crazy with a few call girls and living a Charlie-Sheen like adventure while dating the stunning Vergara–is adamantly denying the allegations made by the tabloid, The National Enquirer.

Loeb, who was mulling a U.S. Senate bid for almost a year, says the rumors are simply not true.

“My first priority is to protect the people I love, and I hope they are not impacted by these lies and irresponsible reports,” Loeb told the New York Post.

“I am mortified that false illicit behavior has been attributed to me,” he added. “It’s hurtful and unfair.”

The gossip comes just days after Vergara and Loeb reconciled–after a brief breakup due to repeated arguments.

The New York Post says Loeb, who is the grandson one of the Lehman Brothers, is mulling taking legal action against the tabloid for spreading false rumors.

[From Fox News]

Yes, that’s all well and good to say that the allegations are nonsense and potentially hurtful. But will he actually do something about it and sue the tabloid, or is he just throwing shade? That’s the ultimate question.

I might have completely misread Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb’s now on-again relationship. My take - which almost none of you read – was that Sofia was not and is not interest in “settling down” and becoming Mrs. Loeb, and that was why they broke up. I also thought that no dude in his right mind is really going to give up having sex with Sofia Vergara, so Nick came begging for a second chance. As I said, I might have been reading it the wrong way, though. The National Enquirer (via The Mail) has another theory: they claim that Nick Loeb is a sex addict, a recreational cocaine user, and a frequent user of prostitutes. Let me just put Loeb’s denial up top before we get to all of the dirty stuff:

Sofia Vergara’s on-again boyfriend Nick Loeb is firing back at a wild report which claims he engaged in cocaine-fueled orgies with prostitutes while dating the Colombian stunner. Two prostitutes told the National Enquirer they had slept with Loeb, with one — named “Bianca” — saying: “He’ll party with anywhere from two to five girls, usually in luxury hotel penthouses, with porn playing on all the TVs, lines of cocaine laid out and liquor flowing like water.”

But furious Loeb — who still harbors political aspirations after flirting with a US Senate run last year — told us in a statement: “I am mortified that false illicit behavior has been attributed to me. It’s hurtful and unfair. My first priority is to protect the people I love, and I hope they are not impacted by these lies and irresponsible reports.”

Sources tell us Onion Crunch baron Loeb is now considering legal recourse.

[From Page Six]

So… it will be interesting to see if Loeb sues The Enquirer. For now, I’m going to discuss the allegations leveled against him and I’ll just throw up a giant “ALLEGEDLY”:

They split last month after reportedly constantly fighting. And now there may be a reason behind the arguments, as it has been reported that Sofia Vergara’s ex-boyfriend Nick Loeb has been hiding a secret. The National Enquirer claims that the Modern Family star’s wealthy businessman beau is a ‘sex addict’ who regularly indulges in multiple-partner cocaine-fuelled orgies.

Two prostitutes came forward to the publication and alleged that they have both had ‘intimate encounters’ with Nick. A woman, who goes by the name of ‘Cindy’ told the magazine that Sofia had no idea that Loeb was cheating on her.

‘Sofia’s in the dark!’ she said. ‘Nick was willing to risk his future with Sofia for his own selfish pleasure.’

The second woman Bianca believes that Nick is addicted to sex. ‘I think Nick is definitely a sex addict,’ she said. ‘He just can’t get enough. He’ll party with anywhere from two to five girls, usually in luxury hotel penthouses, with porn playing on all the TVs, lines of cocaine laid out and liquor flowing like water.’

Bianca claims that Nick takes Viagra and provides the girls with Ecstasy tablets to ensure that they have a good time.

‘He takes large doses of Viagra and provides sex toys, lingerie and drugs, including Ecstacy. He doesn’t use it but he likes the girls to take it because he believes it makes them enjoy sex more. His favourite thing is to watch two women make love while he has sex with another girl.’

According to Bianca, Nick told her that Sofia wasn’t into the same things as he was when it came to the bedroom, and that is why he turned to sex workers.

‘When I asked Nick about his sex life with Sofia he said, “She’s not into what I like,”‘ Bianca told the magazine. ‘He told me “Sofia won’t even talk about it.”‘

Nick’s racy behaviour doesn’t apparently just stop there. The aspiring politician also reportedly likes to visit strip clubs, according to the publication. There, he allegedly pick up girls, pays them $1,000 and takes them home. In Facebook and phone messages obtained by the National Enquirer, Nick allegedly tried to set-up sex up sex parties with Bianca, but once said he couldn’t interact because Sofia would check his phone. The women allege that Nick was once nearly caught out by the Modern Family star when she called during one of his parties.

‘Sofia would call in the middle of an orgy,’ Cindy told the magazine. ‘Nick would grab his cell phone and bolt. When he got back, I asked, “Does Sofia know what you’re doing?” He said, “No way! She’d kill me.”‘

[From The Mail]

There’s some stuff about how Sofia is in the dark about all of these alleged activities. I’m not sure what to think – I haven’t read the full story at The Enquirer yet, but I’ll be reading it this afternoon. The Enquirer does some sex scandal coverage really well – remember Tiger Woods? Remember John Edwards? And considering they’re going after Nick Loeb, a man with ties to Hollywood AND Washington, I think the Enquirer would really try to get double and triple confirmation on a lot of these allegations. What I’m saying is this report (or parts of this report) could possibly be true. Allegedly.

I don’t know what to make of this. Back in May, Sofia Vergara dumped her boyfriend of two years, Nick Loeb, after widespread reports of their constant bickering and lack of joint goals. Loeb is a Republican from a prominent and politically active family, and it seemed like he wanted to turn Sofia into a housewife and a political asset for when he eventually runs for a Senate seat (in Florida, probably). Sofia, on the other hand, seemed to indicate in interview after interview that she had no interest in being married again, or having babies, or giving up her career. So… it was a stalemate, there were fights, and everyone kind of understood why they split up. But now it looks like they’re back together? These are new photos of Sofia and Nick last week – it looks like they’re back on.

Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb split last month, but the pair certainly didn’t look like exes on Thursday night in New York. They pair snuggled up together in a corner booth at the preview of Bagatelle New York with a handful of friends, just like old times.

“They we’re laughing a lot and would embrace each other with long hugs,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

The Colombian Modern Family star wore a skin-tight white dress that showed off her famous curves. After dinner, Vergara ordered the Bagatelle Mega Sundae, and even though the kitchen was closed the owners personally made the dessert for her – which Loeb spoon-fed to the actress.

“Sofia was having the time of her life dancing around Bagatelle and chatting up the deejay,” says another source. “They later went to Double Seven and they seemed really affectionate all night. They embraced each other and you can tell they’re still in love.” At the club, the couple danced to tunes spun by DJ Martial.

So are they officially back together?

A Loeb source tells PEOPLE that the couple, who have been in communication ever since they split, still have differences to work out, but really care for each other.

“Nick is crazy about her, and they do have heated arguments and disagreements, but they enjoy many of the same things and have been seeing each other again,” the source tells PEOPLE. “There are compromises to work out on both sides.”

Whether the pair will go back to being a full-blown relationship is still up in the air, says this source.

[From People]

I’m kind of disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing Sofia as a single girl in Hollywood, making celebrity dudes weep with her hotness. I had high hopes that George Clooney would eventually find his way to her, and the angels would sing. My guess is that Nick Loeb is still really, really into her (who isn’t?) and that he came begging for another chance on whatever terms she would give him. That’s just how I read it – I think Sofia knows what she’s doing, and she’s not prepared to give up her career, nor does she want to be some Republican housewife. And Nick is okay with that. For now.

Last week, Sofia Vergara broke up with her boyfriend of two years, Nick Loeb. The split didn’t surprise me at all – Sofia is a fun woman, she’s become something of a sensation, and she’s building up her brand with a lot of success. It seemed like Nick was trying to make her into something she wasn’t – like, he wanted her to be more “traditional,” he wanted to get married and have a baby with Sofia, and he wanted her career to take a backseat to his political career. That was all just a large assumption on my part, but People Magazine is basically cosigning all of it. Looks like I read this couple correctly.

From the outside, Sofia Vergara and boyfriend Nick Loeb – who have reportedly split – seemed to be in it for the long haul. The vivacious Modern Family star remained a constant by Loeb’s hospital bedside as he recovered from a serious car accident in Aug. 2010. A year after the injury, Vergara also stood by her man when he considered running for the Florida U.S. Senate.

But behind the public appearances and PDA was an argumentative pair of opposites, who sources say had incredible chemistry, but were plagued by problems from day one.

One source close to Vergara’s inner circle, who tells PEOPLE the couple have broken up and gotten back together “over a million times,” calls their recent split, “a relief.”

“It was never a good match,” the insider says. “She is fiery and free-spirited and wants to enjoy life to the fullest by traveling and going to parties and events. He’s very concerned with his businesses, political aspirations and ultimately settling down.”

Reps for both Vergara and Loeb had no comment. Approaching 40, Vergara – who was married at 18 and had a son when she was 20 – has no current desire to tie the knot again or have more children. Loeb, on the other hand is what another friend describes as “very persistent almost to the point of annoying” about starting a family with the actress.

The source, who has known Loeb, 36, for years says his “overbearing, smothering” ways are another likely cause for the split.

A third source adds, “[Sofia] is happy with her life the way it is. If she ever did change her mind, it would be because he wanted all of this.” And although Vergara seemed like the storybook example of a supportive significant other, when it came to Loeb’s political aspirations, much of her happiness was an act.

“Nick put off his run for Senate because he [loved] Sofia and she didn’t think it was a good idea at this time,” the third source says. “[She] said it was because he was not fully healed from his accident. But in truth, she is sitting pretty in Hollywood and doesn’t want to be a political wife right now.”

At a Florida press conference Loeb held in November to announce he would not run for Senate, Vergara appeared like the ever-supportive partner as she joined her beau, but behind the scenes the situation was ugly.

“They fought because Nick had assumed too many things and Sofia was not ready for any commitment – love or political,” the source says. “It was a bad scene.”

But it doesn’t sound like either of the two will have trouble finding someone new. Vergara’s spicy, confident attitude and sex appeal has made her one of the most talked about television actresses of the moment. And as for Loeb, the third source says he “has so many women after him that he won’t have trouble starting over.”

[From People Magazine]

Yep. I got all of that just from some offhand remarks in some of Sofia’s interviews and their body language on various red carpets. All too often, it feels like the women in all of the high-profile relationships are the ones keeping the relationship afloat, that the women are the ones in love with love, the women are the ones who want to have everything settled. But I think the opposite was true here – Sofia has been married. She’s already a mom to an adult son. She’s been there, done that. She just wants to have fun now and make some money and have a booming career. I think she dumped Nick because he pushed her for a commitment and tried to make her into something she had no interest in being. And I think he’s super-bitter about it too.

And seriously, for the love of God… how is she not absolutely PERFECT for George Clooney? I know he wouldn’t go for her because she’s got her own career and stuff, but they would be so, so good together.

Sofia Vergara is single! Maybe. Probably. According to Page Six, Sofia and Nick Loeb, her boyfriend of more than two years, have called it quits. The tabloids sometimes claimed that Sofia and Nick were not going to make it as a couple, and I always kind of believed it too. Nick is a Republican political type from Florida, and he’s said to have big political ambitions (like, a Senate run). Sofia has her own thing going in Hollywood, and she seems to be solely career-focused these days. Beyond the tabloids, I’ve always noticed that Sofia never seemed that engaged in a potential future with Nick either – she already has an adult son, and she never seemed to like the idea of starting another family, and I got the feeling that Loeb wanted to settle down and have a baby with Sofia. Nick and Sofia were last seen together several weeks ago, at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Sofia was at the Met Gala two nights ago solo.

Men around the world, rejoice. Sofia Vergara is single again after splitting with boyfriend Nick Loeb after more than two years together, Page Six can exclusively reveal. The Colombian stunner and New York-based Loeb broke up over the weekend following a series of arguments, sources tell us. And, on Monday, she attended the Met Ball alone.

A source told us, “Sofia was confiding in friends at the ball that she and Nick have split. They have been fighting a lot recently and have been on the brink of splitting many times. It is not yet clear if they are over for good, but they are done as a couple for now.”

The actress, who wore Marchesa to Monday night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala, got ready at a New York City hotel rather than at Loeb’s apartment, and later attended an after-party at the Top of the Standard with friends.

Another source told us that Vergara and Loeb’s relationship stumbled under the pressure of her growing fame and popularity. Her success on “Modern Family,” and as host of “Saturday Night Live” — as well as her obvious sex appeal — has turned her into one of TV’s biggest female stars.

The couple met at a Golden Globes party in 2010. Vergara said in January that Loeb enjoys red-carpet events. “He loves my career,” said Vergara. “He likes coming to these events. For him, it’s like a hobby to be part of this Hollywood scene.”

But Loeb, who considered running for the Florida state senate last year, is the son of John Loeb Jr., who served President Reagan as ambassador to Denmark. He is the grandson of one of the Lehman brothers and was a partner in his family’s stock brokerage firm.

Other sources say Vergara and Loeb had been on the rocks for some time. Last month, the saucy sex symbol was seen with Loeb at an Upper East Side restaurant, where, “She looked miserable,” sources said. “Sofia looked beautiful, but she did not seem happy with him at all.”

[From Page Six]

I’m sad for Sofia, and I hope she bounces back in good time. Because a single Sofia Vergara, up for grabs in Hollywood… well, that’s got a lot of potential. You know Gerard Butler is going to try for it, but Sofia has rebuffed him before. You know who I’d really like to see Sofia with? George Clooney. He would never go for it, of course – Sofia has an actual career, and she has no financial, emotional or sexual need to be his “beck-and-call girl”. But! Sofia is HOT HOT HOT and she’s his type, I think. I also think they would have a lot of fun together. And she doesn’t want any more kids, I’m pretty sure. So… George wouldn’t have to worry about Sofia talking about babies constantly. And George could spend time with Manolo, Sofia’s adult son. See? It would work out beautifully. That’s probably why it would never happen.

Sofia Vergara has been dating her boyfriend Nick Loeb for a few years now. She always talks about him, but… I sometimes wonder if there’s something “off” about them. I get the feeling that Sofia could do better, and that Sofia realized a while ago that she could do better, and she’s just been waiting for an opportunity to leave. Last year, Nick was hit by a car, and he suffered a broken pelvis, a shattered leg and some severe cuts. I think Sofia stayed with him… well, okay, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she stayed with him because she loves him. But she also stayed with him (a least a little bit) because she would have looked like a major bitch if she dumped him when he was in the ICU, facing months of physical rehabilitation. Maybe it is love, and I’m just a jaded, cynical bitch (Filed under: “Things That Are True”). All I know is that I get a weird vibe from Sofia whenever she’s talking about Nick. Like… she’s constantly reviewing her options. Like she’s making plans with him, but she’s also making sure she has an escape plan if she needs it. Take this new interview where Sofia talks about Nick’s political plans – he’s a Republican!

Is Sofia Vergara ready for Capitol Hill? Her boyfriend of more than a year – Republican environmental businessman Nick Loeb, 35 – is considering a 2012 run for the Florida U.S. Senate seat.

“I don’t know if it will really happen, but I’m very excited for him,” the Modern Family star and budding fashion designer, 39, told PEOPLE at Sunday’s premiere of The Smurfs in New York.

“If he decides to do it, I think he will be amazing. My boyfriend is very inclined to politics and that’s his passion,” she says.

Now eying Democratic Florida Sen. Bill Nelson’s seat, Loeb previously ran for the Florida state Senate in 2009 but eventually dropped out to deal with a divorce.

If Loeb officially launches a bid for the Senate, expect to see his double Emmy-nominee girlfriend on the campaign trail, knocking on doors and waving signs for her beau.

“Of course I will help him, why not?” says Vergara. “I support him with everything. If that’s what he wants to do in his life, I will be there for him.”

And how will Vergara handle her duties as a politician’s girlfriend?

“I would just be my funny self, but that’s far away!” says the bombshell. “We don’t know if it’s going to happen now. Maybe in the long future.”

[From People]

Bill Nelson already has two terms under his belt, and he’s already announced that he’s running again, which means that he’s spent a significant amount of time building his campaign war chest. Still, I could see how the RNC would think that Sen. Nelson is vulnerable, and actively target his seat. Who better to target independent Florida voters than an attractive young man with an extensive business background and a gorgeous Latina girlfriend? Eh… it might be “too Hollywood” for the current Republican party.
