LeAnn Rimes and Dean Sheremet are officially divorced. It was finalized this weekend, I think, so LeAnn is officially single and ready to fulfill her dream of marrying someone not afraid of vaginas. That’s mean, I’m sorry. Dean Sheremet seems like a nice guy, and he must be feeling a little raw and vulnerable right now. Either that, or he’s drinking Mojitos in his fabulous New York apartment (that LeAnn paid for), thinking about which one of the party boys he’s going to call for a quickie. So that just leaves LeAnn – and her dream. Unfortunately, E! News is reporting that Eddie Cibrian’s divorce from Brandi is probably going to drag on even longer now that Eddie has been fired from CSI: Miami. You see, they now have to renegotiate their settlement. Plus, Eddie blames Brandi for losing the gig.

LeAnn Rimes is so over Dean Sheremet. But don’t hold your breath on her being the new Mrs. Eddie Cibrian anytime soon.

The 27-year-old country songbird’s divorce was finalized on Friday, six months after she and Sheremet, 29, reached a settlement and about a year since her torrid on-set affair with Cibrian doomed her marriage to her former backup dancer.

However, while Cibrian and his estranged wife, Brandi Glanville, had been close to ending their own marriage, his recent unemployment situation has thrown a monkeywrench in their settlement plans.

Cibrian was dumped from CSI: Miami after producers declined to pick up his contract.

“He blames bad press from his ex for losing his job,” a source close to the couple tells E! News. “Now they are at ground zero with negotiations. He is trying to pay her nothing.”

Glanville is now worried about keeping up her lifestyle in the wake of his loss of income.

“He reneged on everything and now she doesn’t know how she is going to pay for everything,” says the insider. “She just leased a car and a new house, and with the potential of losing Eddie’s support, she’s freaking out.”

On the bright side, Cibrian can always mooch off Rimes, whom he stuck close to during a weekend performance in Orange County. He had no immediate comment on his looming divorce, but Rimes was far from reticent.

“It makes me sad that the media once again can take something as personal as a divorce and make it a top news story. It’s hard enough dealing with it on our own. Sucks to see it in your face at all times,” she tweeted on Sunday.

“Well, maybe now we can move on. Thx to all my friends and fans for their unwavering support of both Deane and me. We’ve both needed it! Your love means a lot.”

[From E! News]

…And make it a top news story.” Bitch, please. LeAnn is so far stuck up her own ass, it’s not even funny. You know where her divorce was a top news story? Nowhere. Us Weekly had it first on their news feed over the weekend, meaning there wasn’t a lot of celebrity news – but it didn’t crack the top five of the most read. It didn’t crack the top five on People Magazine either. So what is LeAnn sanctimoniously bitching about? She thinks everyone cares so much about her, and she’s begging us not to make it a “top news story.” Mission accomplished, dumbass.

As far as Eddie’s CSI: Miami firing and how it affects his divorce – eh. Eddie will get another gig. And he’ll pay child support and whatever else. The only thing Brandi should worry about is LeAnn figuring out that she should be playing hardball, you know? As soon as LeAnn realizes that this whole process might speed up if she gets herself and her money out of it, Brandi is going to get financially screwed.

I just realized who Eddie looks like when he wears sunglasses. Doesn’t he look like Scott Peterson? Ugh.

Singer LeAnn Rimes spent the day in Calabasas, California with her loving actor boyfriend Eddie Cibrian on April 26, 2010. The happy couple showed one another some affection after a bite to eat followed by some Menchie s dessert. Eddie grabbed his leading lady and gave her a big smooch before catching on the shutterbugs. The country singer is the face of a campaign called Stop Hiding From Psoriasis, by the American Academy of Dermatology and the National Psoriasis Foundation which is aimed at informing the public about the condition and getting those who suffer from it to stop hiding and start living.

    LeAnn is loving every moment of this. For the first time in her life, a guy wants to touch her AND she’s kind of in the news.

  2. Liana says:

    It wasn’t bad press that got Cibrian shit canned – CBS is cutting actors wherever they can these days. In the long run, someone has to pay for Charlie Sheen.

  3. NayNay says:

    She is a home-wrecker. Now she wants us to have pity for her. I think NOT!! Keep crying your river Leann. Nobody cares about you Leann as much as you seem to think we do.

  4. Kaboom says:

    Guess the plans to lavishly live off the ex fell through for Brandi Glanville.

  5. ctkat says:

    I’m waiting for MeAnn (typo and it stays) to offer Brandi a settlement to get this done quickly- how much do you think it is worth to LeAnn to get to marry Eddie? I would bet at least $1M…

  6. LindyLou says:

    Brandi is worrying about how she’s going to pay for her new house and new car now that Eddie is unemployed?? How about get a job like the rest of us schlumps bitch?

    Jeezuss I’m tired of these women who can’t live unless their ex pays for everything. I realize he cheated and caused the split but she needs to take half of the responsibility for bringing those kids into the world.

    Rant over.

  7. Green Is Good says:

    @Leann: You may have a point. I can’t believe how money Charlie Sheen is raking in. But most of it is going towards his two ex-wives and 4 kids.

  8. irena NL says:

    Eddie is still working and being paid until the network figures out how they’ll finish off his character.

    The California courts (esp. LA county) deal with an actor’s up-and-down source of employment often enough that I’m certain they know how to handle such cases. If something doesn’t manifest for him and the support payments were set too high, he goes back for a revision or support modification hearing.

  9. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    Yeah, it sucks to be cheated on, but the rest of the women in this world, who are not married to actors, get jobs and change their life style in the wake of a divorce. I had to. Boo hoo.

  10. irena NL says:

    LeAnn isn’t going to pay Brandi a cent.

    Brandi should explore her talents and figure out what kind of work(even only part-time) would be fulfilling. It would help her to distance herself from the open wound she still suffers from.

  11. Jeri says:

    Yes, a wife can be a pesty little snag in a relationship.

    I had a friend (female) in a long term unmarried relationship and they took her life style into account & raised her child support payments – (her boyfriend did very well financially) she thought she was safe if they did not marry. They married not long after.

  12. bellaluna says:

    I don’t know why people automatically think a divorce is finalised from 6 months of the date of filing.

    I’m not famous, and my divorce wasn’t finalised until AFTER my (now) ex had:

    Fathered a child with his side-dish;
    Replace the cat I’d taken w/ me & the kids when we left;
    Asked her to marry him;
    Had a wedding date, venue, outfits, rings, etc…scheduled for within 3 weeks.

    THEN he decided (after over 3 years!) he was in a hurry to sign the divorce papers he never even acknowledged receiving. (They were always conveniently “lost in the mail.”)

    Brandi gladly bad-mouthed Eddie to anyone who would listen – surely she can’t be shocked he’s now unemployed! What did she think would happen? When children are involved, you never, EVER, take for granted you’re in a “set” situation – even when all is said and done, you can always end up in court for an “adjustment.”

  13. irena NL says:

    Don’t believe Ca. divorce law counts LeAnn’s income or savings towards the childrens’ spt. payments.

  14. Lauren says:

    Eddie is a good actor..tons of charisma. He was the only reason I watched Third Watch. He is so hot that women are always throwing themselves at him..he won’t stay faithful to Leeann either. Eddie does not look like Scott Petersen…Scott is a flabby mommy’s boy..Eddie is a buff Adonis!

  15. Iggles says:

    bellaluna – Sorry to hear that.

    You’re right about Brandi though. She shouldn’t have gone after him in the press if she was dependent on him financially. Now she shot herself in the foot!

  16. bellaluna says:

    @ Iggles –

    It’s cool. It’s beyond over now, it’s just something that sticks in the memory (unfortunately!) long-term. Luckily I met a good guy (while I was actually out celebrating the finalisation of my divorce!), and we’ve been married almost 9 years.

    Yeah, Brandi shot off her mouth and ended up shooting herself right in the lifestyle.

  17. katyalia says:

    Hm. So far I did not perceive Brandi’s comments to the press as ‘shooting off her mouth'(and herself in the foot). She went on record what 3 – 5 times? And always after being either severely provoked (Leann’s moving next to her children’s school, sending Brandi a cease and desist from her lawyers, etc).
    Considering the way Leann is heaping insults onto injuries, Brandi’s responses were very mature and classy in my eyes.
    And while I agree with @ Liana, that Eddie simply became superfluous on his show, it’s way more fun to pretend that CBS has realized that this whole sordid affair made Eddie persona non grata in the public and thus unsustainable.

  18. flutters says:

    Eddie Cibrian was all over the tabloids before Brandi Glanville said anything. He has been complicit in the regular paparazzi photo ops with Leann Rimes. Glanville may not have made his employment situation better but I really don’t think she made it much worse.

    Don’t get me wrong: I support the idea of Glanville finding employment on her own instead of relying on child support. But I don’t buy into the idea that she had an impact on Eddie Cibrian’s employment status. If CBS was really looking at his reputation (which I’m not convinced it was judging from the Charlie Sheen situation) then Eddie Cibrian did 99% of the damage all by himself.

  19. Karen says:

    Congrats bellaluna! Even though it’s been 9 years since you remarried, it deserves celebrating that there is life and love after a divorce.

    On-topic: you suck LeAnn and Eddie!!!

  20. Rosanna says:

    When a woman talking trash about her ex wants spousal support she shouldn’t talk THAT bad about him. Too bad Brandi didn’t get it. I bet now she does!

  21. eintwo says:

    now that you mention it, he does look like Scott Peterson. Maybe he could play him in a movie. Of course, I would never pay to see the lying,cheating,pathetic loser in anything. How sweet of him to blame BG for his job loss. He needs to blame his squinty eyed mistresss.

  22. Rita says:

    I can’t believe you people. Brandi never opened her mouth except to respond to what Eddie and LeAnn were pushing in the press. It was LeAnn who threatened to sue Brandi and then Brandi responded publically. It was Eddie on shows like Rachael Ray trying to whitewash his image with “privacy” and the “high road” all of which were just lies and bull crap. Talk about getting a job, well Eddie stop sucking around LeAnn and go get a job to pay your legal obligations to your family. It’s the law. Eddie slit his own throat or LeAnn slit it for him so he’d have to carry her bags on tour and not be sleeping around LA while LeAnn is singing at some country fair.

  23. RHONYC says:

    when he dumps her, jilted wives of america will rejoice.

  24. irena NL says:

    How many “stars” do we watch who cheat but get away with it? So if it makes one comfortable to think – just because one hasn’t heard the inside info – that you’re watching and supporting loyal men and women….go ahead and be naive.

  25. sharylmj says:

    can’t stand that snotty country singer.. her attitude stinks. Don’t understand what Eddie sees in her.. he’s WAY hotter and seems WAY nicer. she has her nose so far in the air it makes me sick.

  26. Snarf says:

    Brandi maybe should get off her ass and get a job, instead of obsessing over her (ex)husband.

    Yeah Eddie cheated. Big woo. Men want new sex (sex with someone different) the way women want new shoes.

  27. Rita says:

    I also want to point out how phoney Rimes is in blaming the media for make her “private” life a public matter. God, she’s such a hypocrite. We’ve all seen her stroking Eddie’s “privates” in front of the kids, not to mention her butt crack and very personal tweets. If Eddie thinks he’s going to hide under LeAnn’s financial skirt, the court will hang him. His divorce was almost finalized and if Brandi made financial committments based on documents Eddie signed, he has to pay up.

  28. Iggles says:

    bellaluna – Glad to hear everything worked out for the best 😀

  29. Leek says:

    I think a few people said it for me but I just don’t understand how a woman expects an ex-husband to pay for her to live for the rest of her life. When you get a divorce it’s time for plan B. She does deserve something, however, maybe a life with a house and a pool in LA is no longer an option. Take care of you and your children woman; the rest of us do it.

  30. SolitaryAngel says:

    Dear Brandi: Ha—look what you did! NOW will you shut up? Be classy for your kids, especially since Daddy refuses to be.

    @Leek: Well said!
    @bellaluna: you GO girl! 😀

  31. moo says:

    They both have very, very squinty eyes. ugh…. they both deserve EVERYTHING they get!

  32. Vee says:

    This two are nauseating. That is all.

  33. Anti-icon says:

    This makes me so mad….Eddie has the balls to BLAME his ex wife for him losing his stupid TV gig. The nerve. I hate this pretty boy so much. And don’t even get me started on horseface Leann. These two deserve each other so hard it’s not even funny. Karma, wreck havoc, pronto!

  34. Rita says:

    I have to laugh at LeAnn tweeting about how personal her divorce is. On the day of her divorce she was at the beach having sex with another woman’s husband. I doubt very much she even knew her divorce was finally final. There are absolutely no limits to LeAnn’s sense of entitlement.

  35. irena NL says:

    Eddie doesn’t want to be the husband of Brandi. Technically, he is. The heart left a long time ago.

  36. Liana says:

    I have such an issue with spousal support. Child support – yeah. You pay to help care for the children that YOU fathered. You gave them a certain lifestyle and that shouldn’t be changing drastically because you no longer want to be with their mother. But really – women who demand thousands a month in spousal support – get a job. The gravy train should end after a specified amount of time. Get divorced, get a settlement that is fair (and learn to invest and budget it wisely), get a house in the settlement (for the children’s sake), and spousal support for a specified amount of time (6 months, a year…) get a job, get child support, and get over it. Stop trying to live completely on someone else’s dime.

  37. Rita says:

    @Liana
    Eddie demanded that Brandi forget about a career and he wanted Brandi to have his children and stay home with them. Now, you do not think she is deserving of Eddie support her until she can go back to school and get a professional job? She devoted the best young years of her life to Eddie and his children and the requires that Eddie compensate her. It’s the law. When LeAnn throws Eddie to the curb, he’ll get his bone with a tell all book.

  38. Maritza says:

    LeAnn will have the same fate as Tori Spelling, always doubting if he is going to be faithful to her or not. Something tells me Eddie won’t want to marry her, why would he? Unless she gets pregnant.

  39. Rita says:

    I just read Brandi’s twitter. She sounds good and things are moving forward. Stay strong Brandi.

  40. Whatever says:

    Rita is right. Courts do take into account women raising children, which is a job. If a woman leaves a career to raise kids and then the guy decides to find a side piece and leave, he has a responsibility to the wife and the children, sorry but it is true.

    I can’t believe Leann is only 27; I thought she was MUCH older, like at least a decade older. She looks horrible for 27.

  41. alexandra says:

    @Rita Well said.

  42. jj says:

    Kudos to Rita as usual. EC is a terrible actor and CBS is cutting back, that’s it. As far as Lie Ann’s comments, pulease, she orchestrated the affair so the paps would “out” them and Brandi would leave EC. Lie Ann tweets personal stuff all the time about her fairy tale “love”. She is a C liser at best and her divorce was not top news. EC is on a sort leash and betcha LieAnn is paying for everthing. Read Brandi’s twitter, stay strong!!!!!!

  43. bellaluna says:

    In CA, you get spousal support for a length of time HALF the duration of the marriage…UNLESS you hit the magical 10 year anniversary PRIOR to separation/divorce filing (see Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman). Once that magical number is achieved, spousal MAY be ordered to continue until remarriage or however long the judge decides.

    HOWEVER, if the other person is physically and mentally able to work, but unwilling to do so, they may be COMPELLED by the judge to find employment. TRUTH.

  44. irena NL says:

    Many women are insecure in relationship no matter how she got together. It comes with being human and female.

    Some stunning photos of LeAnn and Eddie at LAX flying out to the Nashville Flood Relief concert.

    Beautiful couple!

  45. KS says:

    did she spell her own ex-husband’s name wrong in that tweet?

  46. katyalia says:

    @irena NL
    Not sure if I understood all of this… but I think you should look into some other threads for diversion. Just a thought.

  47. just another guy says:

    Haha does anyone else she looks scarily like Kate Gosslin these days …ewww

  48. irena NL says:

    The birth spelling is Deane but he uses both spellings. His twitter is deansheremet, but he sometimes signs with the “e”.

  49. ykw says:

    She ugly…she ain’t cute. The guy who took Eddie’s place is a doll. I thought Eddie was a doll…no more.
    Is Lee gonna pay his child support like Whitney Houston did for Bobby Brown?
    For how long? That can get old quick.
    Sex can, too.
    What other job can he get anyway?
    He ain’t all that…left his family like that. He deserves what he gets.

  50. Rita says:

    There’s speculation that LeAnn had Eddie leave CSI so he could claim he can’t afford Brandi’s support. This makes sense to me. LeAnn wants to get married before her album is released so now they may be trying to bully Brandi with the threat of giving her nothing unless she signs the settlement papers. With Eddie out of work for the summer he can follow LeAnn on tour and she’ll get him a job in the fall. I think LeAnn got him the job in the first place and this type of behavior fits Rimes to a T. LeAnn has a whole crew of attorneys, advisers, PR staff, hatchetmen, and web posters working on this and the only thing standing in her way is Brandi’s signature. What sort of a man or woman would threaten a single mother with poverty if she does not comply? Those people would have to be selfish, greedy, manipulative, liars who care only about themselves. Does this sound like anyone we know?

  51. Johnthing says:

    She’s so dad gum ugly!

  52. CAnucklehead says:

    Man he is easily the douchiest looking guy I have ever seen

    And wasn’t LeAnn cute at one point?

    She really has a trailer trash look about her now. Especially that second pic, where it looks like Doucheboy has picked up a crackho and is evading the press.

  53. piglatinforcows says:

    Karma’s a bitch that bites down hard, tears off the flesh and leaves one to bleed. LeAnn, pray hard that you’re not a hemophiliac.

  54. DD says:

    they look gross together. Eddie is rarely in any scenes on CSI Miami, I barely remember he’s on that show until I come to the celebrity blog sites covering his affair.

  55. eintwo says:

    This is a good day for Eddie. Vienna has been freed up from bachelor JAKE. yOU GO GET HER,Eddie. Oh –forgot, your mistress doesn’t let you out of her sight When people slam stay at home mothers, they forget that there are a lot of stay at homes moms out there and almost every time that was a decision that both parents made.You go BG–get as much of LR money as you can until you get on your feet.
