LeAnn Rimes is a child star who grew into a “true artist” says LeAnn Rimes

fp_7929726_barm_rimes_leann_17_19

Here are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes in London, outside of the BBC. She made an appearance and performed to mark “the 50th anniversary of Songs of Praise” and to promote her new album, Lady and Gentlemen. Okay, don’t shoot me in the face, but I don’t think she looks bad (for her) here. Yes, she’s emaciated and squinty and her legs scare the hell out of me, but really, this is not a bad look for her. She’s covered up, the bolt-ons are contained, the outfit is rather nice and her hair and makeup look especially good. Two things: one, she really needs to stop wearing ankle booties. On most women, those booties cut off the line of the leg and make slender women look chunky in the leg department. On LeAnn, however, the booties make her legs look even more ridiculous and chickeny.

Second thing: THIS PHOTO. That baby is like, “Seriously, bitch, stop poking me.”

fp_7929720_barm_rimes_leann_11_19

Would you like to hear some quotes from LeAnn’s BBC interview? There are some real gems here:

On her problems: “I’ve gone through it all, at a very young age. But I think one of my base accomplishments is that I have been able to handle it very well. Trust me I have my moments, but I’ve been doing it so long.”

On her new album, in which she covers songs sung by men traditionally: “All of them are written for men. They are now from a woman’s perspective. We bring out the sexiness in it. I never thought 16 Tons could be sexy! We paid homage to the originals but put a completely different spin on it.”

Country music is her heart: “I listen to everything. If music is good, then I listen to it,” she said. “I’ll always dabble in other things but country music is where my heart will always lie.”

On child stardom: “I’ve been one of the very few who have come through as a true artist as the other side of the child star kind of thing. I’m prouder of my work than I’ve ever been. I’m coming into my own as a true artist and not just a little girl with a big voice.”

Wanting to slow down: “There are always time when I want to get off the rollercoaster. I’m married to Eddie and I have two stepchildren. I don’t like being on the road and living out of a suitcase, it’s an interesting way to live and I’ve been doing it for so long. I think, like, ‘OK, I’m 29, I’m done.’ I say that for a week and then I’m ready to go back.”

She’s very wise: “I feel like I have more to give now than I ever have. I have all the success and knowledge and wisdom behind me to be in a really cool place.”

[Via MusicRooms]

If she wants to quit, why doesn’t she? Why doesn’t she take a break for a few years and stop with the seemingly endless hustle? Or has she been on a break and I just feel like she’s been hustling because she’s such a famewhore? Oh, and this quote: “I’ve been one of the very few who have come through as a true artist as the other side of the child star kind of thing. I’m prouder of my work than I’ve ever been. I’m coming into my own as a true artist and not just a little girl with a big voice.” Here’s the thing: even if that statement is true (debatable), it’s not for her to say. It’s for other people to say about her and her career. It’s like she’s saying, “Yeah, I’m unbelievably good. I’m so good, and I’m can’t believe how great I get year after year.” Not even Barbra Streisand could pull off that kind of ego.

    Yeah, Leann is the Kellan Lutz of country music.

  2. Smithy says:

    Doing an album of mens’ songs redone for a woman? Way to steal the idea from Tori Amos’ “Strange Little Girls”…

  3. ladybert62 says:

    Like the outfit;
    hate the boots;
    hate her squinty-smashed-pumpkin face

  4. Ari says:

    You know I saw a documentary on her and I kind of liked her a bit more after that. It’s strange how much I loathe people just by random images and site postings and never really take the time out to look at a live feed of them. Although to be honest, she still annoys the flock out of me.

  5. only1shmoo says:

    Oh God, and just when we thought her narcissistic, shameless self-promoting tendencies on Twitter couldn’t get any worse…

  6. Denise says:

    @Brin; Totally what you said; I was thinking it when I saw the header and before I even read the post.

  7. blegh says:

    what a conceited, delusional annoying speck of a human being….she needs a reality check

  8. Jezi says:

    Does she honestly think she’s successful? Her last singles tanked and this album took forever to be released. Her music doesn’t chart. Maybe a break should happen. Actually please please go away!

  9. hairball says:

    I just can’t look at her face with those bags above and below her eyes. It looks painful. Honestly, I don’t know how Eddie whats-his-face can even look at her without wincing a little bit.

  10. It is ME!! says:

    @Smithy: Yes! This. You don’t bite off Tori’s game. LEAVE TORI ALONE, LEANN! lol

    She looks better dressed than undressed (even with her terrible shoes). Her face is still unfortunate, though.

  11. The Truth Fairy says:

    Ape face.

  12. Keiko says:

    It’s a good job she is covered, songs of praise is a religious programme.

  13. Annie B says:

    Leann has HUNDREDS of fans around the world, how CAN she stop “touring”?!

    It would make more sense for her and Ed to sell all their earthly possessions and move out to God’s country, as they discuss a lot (yes, she claims this). Just spend ALL their time together, being truly madly in LovE!

    She has gone from Single White Female and Fatal Attraction to Misery territory with this “idea”. Anyone else imagine crazy Leann swinging a sledehammer on a drugged up Eddie? He will NEVER leave her now!!!

    Then she can Skype “concerts” with all her fans, from her living room. She has done a number of similar videos for Twitter. They can send their credit card details to pay to watch, then she will perform like the AMAZING true artist she is!

  14. Heather M (Heather) says:

    “I’ve been one of the very few who have come through as a true narcissist at the other end of the child star kind of thing…I’m coming into my own as a true narcissist…”. –Leann

    I love the way she not only pats herself on the back here; she simultaneously insults all the other “child stars” who are not part of the “very few…true artists” such as herself.

  15. Stonegoddes says:

    She is so full of herself, it’s almost laughable. I guess you have to pat yourself on the back – no one else will (besides your paid employees)

    Yeah, let’s celebrate her mediocre (at best) album sales. Also, let’s all make sure we forget to watch PBC tonight!

    She sucks.

  16. beclove says:

    Contrition. Humility. She should try those approaches for a change.

  17. brin says:

    Even the baby is over her…lol!
    *Hey Jezi & Annie B…can’t wait for RHOBH tonight!*

  18. Rhiley says:

    I like the deadpan: “She’s very wise:” That is the thing about wise people, they continue to learn, to grow, to exchange ideas and challenge themselves. They do not tell you how wise they are; in fact, they keep their mouths shut about most matters unless called upon to share their opinions. She may be successful and wise (cough cough), but she is still very immature and naive. P.S. — her tweets tomorrow are going to be da bomb because her nemesis Brandi makes her big debut on RHOBH tonight, y’all.

  19. Harley says:

    The shoes are FUG!

    And she and Eddie got married? Seriously? I completely missed that-I thought they were still engaged? Hmmm…I’m outta the loop.

    She’s still conceited-nothing to see here, it’s the status quo for her.

  20. Annie B says:

    Loved your Kellan Lutz comparison brin. Dead. On. I will be “watching” vicariously, hopefully someone will be live tweeting while watching so I can experience! I’ll be seeing RHOBH on TV in about 6 months up here in Canada. :-/

    And that baby expresses so eloquently the universal thoughts on former teen yodeler turned massive famewhore, Leeane Rhimes. “Bitch, please.”

  21. Kloops says:

    The makeup is excellent. This is the best I’ve seen her look to date. She’s still completely unlikeable.

  22. lucy2 says:

    Artist? Well, she has perfected the art of crazy narcissism.
    Her career is circling the drain, she destroyed her first marriage, developed some sort of eating disorder, married her co-cheater, and has been SWF’ing his ex for months now.
    Yeah, she came out of child stardom great, and is clearly full of wisdom.

  23. 4Real says:

    BYTCH PUH-LEASE you had like ONE HIT! I thought the same thing when I clicked on this…oh she finally found a decent look (scrolled down) and BAM! NEVERMIND!

  24. brin says:

    The Daily Mail is claiming that Leann copied her handcuff bracelet from Angelina Jolie, but that’s not who she got the idea from.
    @Annie B…I’m hoping Celebitchy does a post on RHOBH tomorrow.*Hint*

  25. sharylmj says:

    G R O S S …..
    I can’t even look at this woman. She irritates me to no end

  26. sc-wha-tt says:

    I think she looks really pretty. Those boots are fab. Not a fan, but also not a hater…

  27. Stonegoddes says:

    http://amygrindhouse.com/leann-rimes-twitter-brandi-glanville.html

    Here is proof that LR is SFWFing BG. Take a look at the dates on the twitter posts. BG posted about the handcuff bracelet a full 9 days before LR.

    She continues to copy BG anyway she can. Can’t wait to watch RHOBH for Brandi. She’s gorgeous and can’t wait to see what kind of drama she stirs up. Gonna be good.

    Wait for LR’s obsessive tweets today and tomorrow. Insecure much? lmfao

  28. Annie_Grey says:

    Leann was told that she was the new Patsy Cline from the age of eight. I wonder what that does to a kid.

  29. Heather M (Heather) says:

    @Lucy2: lol! Agreed!

  30. BELLA says:

    She is unlikeable.Plain Jane! Wait til Eddie finds a beautiful sexy woman!!

  31. Jayna says:

    I thought she was great on America’s Got Talent. Moving performance. Instead of the boobs LeAnn should have had her upper eyelids done. Reba McIntyre did when she was in her early thirties because she had baggy eyelids very early and she looked great afterwards, much prettier.

    I don’t like her hair. But I love the boots.

  32. qimd says:

    Say what you want, bitch looks good.

  33. LindyLou says:

    Do I see a bat in the cave in pic #5? Hmmm classy Leann..

  34. Annie B says:

    @brin I’m sure there’ll be some VERY interesting tweets which could be posted along with a story. Leann is in Chicago stalking her husband for 2 days I think. He’ll be busy working and “reading”, so she’ll have NOTHING but time.

    If there is as much drama as they are foreshadowing for RHOBH (hard to tell if accurate yet) there’ll be gossip rag stories to link to galore tomorrow. Perfect excuse for a blog post about a certain ex-wife’s “debut”. 😉

  35. dorothy says:

    Shoes look like horse hooves.

  36. eileen says:

    bitch, please.

  37. Lisa says:

    Say what you want she looks nice, she has money that you all will never have. So why be so jealous?

  38. Heather M (Heather) says:

    Must make a note to watch Brandi tonight. The clip where she says she was married to the biggest D ever makes her look totally likable, which I suspect she is (especially in light of what Stalker Leann has put her through).

    Will Leann be ballsy/psycho enough to copy every outfit Brandi wears on the show and tweet verbatim quotes that Brandi says, as if she (Leann) said them?

    Can’t wait to find out!

  39. Lisa says:

    Poor Brandi can’t afford the clothes Leann has.

  40. lucy2 says:

    Lisa, money does not buy you happiness, class, or sanity.

  41. Lisa says:

    Yeah, if Brandi had money she could go buy her some class instead of going out and drunk driving and sleeping with anyone who comes a long on her kids bed and bragging about it.

  42. Heather M (Heather) says:

    @Lisa, I’m the first to admit that jealousy does bring out cattiness, and I try to check myself prior to making rude comments. Am I actually jealous? I also agree that some comments I read on gossip sites appear to me to be a product of jealousy.

    With that said, I think certain celebrities (eg Leann, Lindsay) are so unlikeable that most of the snarky comments come from a place of honest disgust.

    I would never want to be Leann, and on some level I actually feel sorry for her. Eddie will cheat on her, just like he did on Brandi, and she will be publicly humiliated–but her humiliation will be much worse because she has behaved so poorly, flaunting her relationship/copying, mocking and undermining the mother of her stepchildren (whose husband she stole) all the while hypocritically chastising all of the “judgmental”
    people who dared to criticize her, yet judging everyone else (“I would *never* get plastic surgery…” to Brandi, only to turn around and use Brandi’s plastic surgeon to get breast implants)… I could go on and on…

    Leann has money, but that’s about it. Her legacy won’t be that she was a great singer, it will be that she stalked and finally landed another woman’s husband, who is in all likelihood using her for that money.

  43. Heather M (Heather) says:

    Re: Comment #39: “Poor Brandi cant afford the clothes that Leann has.”

    …Well, we all know that Leann can afford all the clothes that Brandi has, given how she copies all of Brandi’s outfits!

    (Anyone else feel like maybe Lisa is Leann?)

  44. brin says:

    @Heather M….either Leann or her fan.
    I agree with your comment(42).

  45. eileen says:

    @Heather #43: It wouldn’t be the first time-she’s known for making fake accts all over the internet to bitch at people that don’t like her, plant Brandi stories and harass Brandi. Or she has her employee/buddies do it. She’s a real klass act, that one.

  46. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    Leann looks good with her hair up like that and where the heck is eddie?

  47. surlymonkey says:

    On the plus side, her new paid bff is on the mark with her makeup of late. The colors are flattering and she looks much less draggy than she usually does.

    But let’s get serious. This woman has turned into the psychotic Stuart Smiley of country music and tabloid news.

    I *AM* good enough. I *AM* talented. I *AM* pretty and Ed and everybody else really, *REALLY* love me. What’s sad is she has a better chance of getting people to buy her tanking singles than she does buying this load. I honestly believe that this is her “truth”; you know; that “truth that she always alludes to that no one else can understand? She thinks if she says it enough, it has to be real.

    Besides, did you see the new bit of crazy she tweetered this weekend? Out of absolutely NOWHERE, she tweeted some Malibu dude about how she was SO glad to find him and SO surprised to see him on twitter. Only problem is Mr. Malibu has been following her for quite a while now. Oh and how she “found” him? Brandi had tweeted him just hours before as they were judging a beauty contest together yesterday.

    What truly sane and happy person does that? Up at all hours in Europe obsessing over the tweets of Ed’s ex-wife to the point that she HAS to publicly announce that “I KNOW MR. MALIBU TOO AND HE LIKES MEEEEEEE!!!!”

    It’s almost sad. Almost. You know, if she wasn’t such an insufferable tw@t.

  48. Happy21 says:

    The outfit only looks ok because she’s covered up. The booties are horrendously fug. The outfit looked absurd with the booties. She still looks like an alien and I still cannot stand her though!

  49. Happy21 says:

  50. Jayna says:

    How old are some of you people and do you have a life investing so much time on people you will never know, yet obssessing on every detail of their lives. some posters on here seem scary obsessed.

  51. Debra says:

    Does anyone else think that Leann needs to do a remake of ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ ? Leann of course would play the former child star Baby Jane who is slowly losing her mind and to put a new spin on it, instead of her sister..we could have Eddie as the invalid that she keeps locked up and isolated from the outside world….oh wait!! that sounds more like a future Leann biography… coming soon….

  52. why? says:

    Why doesn’t LR quit show business? Because Eddie would straight up divorce LR if she does. The only thing holding LR and EC together is her money and of course a case of “I don’t want to hear I told you so”-itis. Remember LR pays for his watches, those expensive trips to Cabo/Tahiti, his clothes, his cars, his Don Julio, and of course his women. This is why she can’t quit show business. Don’t you just love how LR tries to act like the real reason she wants to quit showbusiness is because she is a “devoted” wife and stepmother?

    LR is acting like the victim yet again and then she wonders why people don’t like her so much. Life didn’t throw anyting into Leann’s way, she did that herself. Like in this interview where she once again acts like BG stops existing when those kids are with her and EC. Why is LR so threatened by BG exisitence to the point where she acts like those kids don’t have a mother, if she and EC have such a loving marriage?

    LR is right. It takes a “true artist” to exploit homeless teens, a 4 yo and 9 yo child, tornado victims, now children’s of abuse just to promote her relationship/marriage to EC. Go LR!!!!

    Leann isn’t wearing make-up, it’s botox. I noticed that she has been waring bagging clothing a lot. Seriously, she is working hard to fuel the pregnancy rumors. If LR has true talent how come she has to use children(ie EC kids, homeless kids, a baby) to get people to buy or even listen to her music?

    The funniets part of this interview is where she says that she has handle the “problems” in life well. So sleeping with another woman’s husband and then SWF that woman is handling things well? Throwing twitter tantrums when any media outlet dares call her out on her bad behavior is handling things well? Tweeting about EC kids and talking about them in interviews even after EC stated that he didn’t want his kids exposed to the media and paps is handling things well?

  53. why? says:

    Leann has had success? Did I miss something? Where and when did LR have success? Is she talking about the success of hiding EC affairs and keeping his mistresses in check with C & D and confidelity agreements? The success of being crowned as the Heidi and Spencer of 2011?

    Crazy Women and Swingin did poorly on Itunes, so much so that LR had to throw parties for her radio friends just to get them to play this song, which fell off the charts with her and EC bad behavior. After her antics with BG son at Family Day, Crazy Women fell off the Country Billboard charts.

    Give fell off of the Itunes chart the same week it was released. It was back on Itunes for one day after her AGT performace. After her mega media blitz with EC at fashion week, Give fell off of the Country Billboard chart(it was holding steady at 52 and 53, dropped to 56 after they staged those photo-ops with EC kids at the fair).

    So what success if LR talking about? The success of exploiting the misfortunes of others just so that she can shove her relationship with EC down
    people’s throats? Or the success of SWF BG?

    A remake of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane featuring EC and LR would be great. To be honest, I thought that LR was already starring in her own version of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane with as many staged photo-ops she releases. Staged airport pda photo-op with EC or handholding photo-op where EC squeezes her hand 4 times to tell her he loves her in…3, 2, 1.

  54. Sara says:

    I will never feel bad for girls who don’t eat. She’s so messed up I love her crazy. Peeps like her make for the best and funniest articles on this website. If we didn’t have Lilo and Leeann to make fun of, my daily gossip would be so much less entertaining. As an American living in Germany I totally depend on gossip as my pop culture news.

    I HAVE to give credit to the writers at CB, you guys are awesome and I will always read this website because of you.

    Also whoever wrote about Adele deserves a medal. Love your take on entertainment… very well balanced.

  55. Sara says:

    @Why?

    LeeAnn is tabloid fodder! I have never listened to her music and never will but I love reading about how crazy she is.

    🙂

    I think that’s why she’s famous, or infamous… little husband stealer!

  56. Jennifer says:

    Same old Leann. Full of herself. Uncoordinated boots/outfit. Ugly personality/face. Delusional. Copycat. Fake.

    She probably loves herself so much because not a lot of people like her.

    She can say whatever she wants but the charts will tell the truth. How many people are buying her albums or songs? Are they even on the charts?

    Her obnoxious personality makes it impossible to listen or watch anything she’s involved in.

  57. april says:

    She looks good for a change. The boots look awful with that outfit.

  58. why? says:

    Leann’s paid gigalo gave an interview to Access HW, “defending” Leann because once again Leann must have been reading other people’s comments about how Eddie hardly ever defends LR.

    Now why would anyone believe a word that EC says? This is the same man who stated that he didn’t want his kids to experience any public exposure and then turns around and allows LR to publicly expose those kids via her tweets, blog entries, staged photo-ops, People mag exclusive, and interviews?

    And once again, if PBC is about empowering women, why are we seeing and hearing so much from a man who knows nothing about empowering women, since he cheated on both of his wives, and makes LR feel so insecure that she walks around trying to morph herself into BG?

  59. Mimi says:

    She is really starting to age.

  60. trish says:

    She should have worn some sort of tights. JMO, would have looked more finished.

  61. The Original Mia says:

    The baby has the right of it. Bitch please!

  62. trish says:

    Does anyone know who she is wearing? I really like it. Looks like it’s a silk/cashmere blend. Thanks

  63. the original bellaluna says:

    #1. Dixie Chicks did AN ENTIRE ALBUM from a man’s point of view. As in, they sang the lyrics as females, but like they were singing them as men. (LOVE ME some Dixie Chicks. W is some kinda “special case” idiot. Always was, always will be.)

    #2. Those shoes…I just…I can’t. They’re ridiculous. Absurd. (And that’s being kind.) Apparently, I’m the only one who thought HOOVES were “notthelook.” Thanks, Mom! 🙂

    #3. “I don’t want to toot my own horn here, but BEEEP-BA-BEEEEP-BEEEEP!” (courtesy of Alvin, of Alvin & the Chipmunks fame.)

  64. Anne says:

    Shoes are hideous. She goes from almost naked on the beach to all covered up like an old old woman. Girl needs help.

  65. why? says:

    EC says that Leann doesn’t REALLY look skinny. He says that the media and press(keep in mind that the photos are from LR mouthpieces) are only picking out and then using those photos of Leann that make Leann look skinny. Yeap just like how the media and press made up his affair with LR by piecing together those photos that made it look like they were having an affair, right? At least when EC was married to BG we didn’t know that he was this stupid. Even the Gather, who write nothing but nice articles about LR and EC, noted that she looked even more skinner and bad in these photos from London. LR must have been up all night worrying over who EC was sleeping with and how she can hide it from the media.

    Remember LR attack in Chicago where she says someone told her to eat? So how then does Eddie explain that incident because clearly that person wasn’t looking at a photo of LR? So then are we to assume that LR made that incident up just like we thought she did?

    If EC thinks that LR looks fit and healthy, then he clearly needs glasses or he doesn’t notice that LR has a problem because he is either too drunk to notice that she isn’t eating or he isn’t spending as much time with LR as she would have us all believe.

  66. charity says:

    Why– don’t forget the interview eddie gave to the media where he loudly proclaimed he was not having affair with the grinch and the media liked to put their spin on it and it was a fishbowl of lies. couple days later here comes the film with him meeting Leann at restaurant and her sucking his fingers, gross, she is an A number 1 nose picker. Leann wanted the public and Brandi to find out so Brandi would kick his arse out which she did, Leann is a manipulative ,grinch faced nasty woman who thinks she is entitled to every thing she wants, even if it some one elses husband or another womans kids.

  67. anjasmomma says:

    Not a LeAnn fan but I really LOVE the booties!!! (sorry Kaiser I know you hate them)

  68. TG says:

    @dorothy – Oh my gosh your comment about her shoes looking like horses hooves has to be the best one on here and there is some stiff competition. Speaking of…. where is Rita? I too only read LR articles to read all the snarky comments and I particularly look for Ritas.

  69. why? says:

    Just a warning, LeannInc is on another site using other posters names to make posts, so be careful.

  70. Chris says:

    Girl needs some weight on those bones. Guess she is too busy being mean to eat?

  71. Cerulean says:

    This bitch is insane. She probably has a secret room with photos of BG everywhere.

  72. cheaterssuck91 says:

    @67 LOL Charity love when you reference the “messiah of country” as the grinch her heart appears 3 sizes to small:) btw sent a thank you card a few days ago for the gift.

  73. Chrissy says:

    She is so conceited. So she thinks she’s “been through it all?” Has she: had any children of her own, lost a baby to miscarriage, had a serious illness, had a parent die, had serious financial problems, lived through a natural disaster, had a suicide in her family or had to be a caretaker for terminally ill family members? She just annoys me so much. It’s like someone above stated: she is saying things about herself that only others should say as a compliment to her (if she ever deserved it).

  74. why? says:

    So last week when EC show didn’t do well, NBC/PBC instructed EC and LR to set up “happy family” photo-ops with EC kids at Nobu.

    And the second week just min before EC show airs and just a day before LR album is released(although I could have thought that she had several of her mouthpieces release article after article about how she was releasing her album early on Monday), LR writes a blog about EC kids and about how she doesn’t want to be called STEPMOTHER because they are a FAMILY. The very same blog where she has posted several photos of EC kids on a beach(so much for the paps following them like EC claims right?) and entitled it “family time” photos because EC just doesn’t want his kids to experience ANY type of public exposure. Could the media please address this issue of EC double standards?

    So NBC has instructed EC to use his kids as human shields, in other words they think that people will be less likely to slam PBC and more likely to watch it if EC and LR remind everyone that EC and LR are trying to “raise” his boys. That is low even for NBC.

    I know that people were trying to support BG and her kids by watching PBC, but at some point someone needs to draw the line. EC and LR do not get to exploit those kids the way they do just because they use the “no job=no child support for EC kids” angle.

    LR blog entry about those kids was very offensive, she says she respects/loves those kids, yet she continues to thrusts them into the media by tweeting and blogging about them and telling the paps where and when to find them because she has an album to promote.

  75. Jessica says:

    I live in Dallas and one of the casinos in Oklahoma often advertises their concerts on a big billboard on the freeway. Last week they put up a big picture of her advertising LeAnn Rimes as the headliner and Kelly Pickler and some girl group as the second billing. Today the sign changed to a giant picture of Kelly with no mention whatsoever of LR. Rumor has it they weren’t selling any tickets.

    Also, I used to live in Nashville when LR was still married to her poor ex-husband. She built a house right on the main road right in front of the gated neighborhood where a bunch of music producers and actual stars lived. She didn’t actually live in the neighborhood, the fence around it just happened to run right along the back of her property. It was hilarious because from the road it looked like they had actually fenced her out.

    And every year at Christmas she would fill the yard of what could have been a nice home had she not built it so close to a major road, with around 15 of those big inflatable Christmas decorations. And she would have spotlights on each one so you couldn’t miss them. It was beyond tacky.

    Good Christ, humble much?! I have never, EVER considered Leann Rimes any kind of a true, original artist. Tori Amos covered all men’s songs a long time ago, and Tori Amos IS a great example of a true artist, not some crap pop-country moron and Lifetime “actress” like Leann. Seriously, the only LR song I even know is that “How Do I Live” song that was popular when I was in HIGH SCHOOL, and I am now 30 years old. Her “career” is a joke, what is she babbling about?

  77. Memphis says:

    She sure is humble isn’t she… *smirk-one eyebrow raised and a snort*

    I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this Leann but you didn’t come through child stardom as unscathed and uberfabulous as you seem to think you did. And by the way, almost everything you do screams I have SELF ESTEEM ISSUES!

    Edited to add: Those boots look ridiculous with that dress.

    I love the babies expression like “Bitch Please”. LeAnn was such a unique child growing up now she seems like a total tool.

    @Jessica….that’s hilarious, no wonder her house (and concerts) can’t sell.

    Sooooo muuuuuuch material here…

    Funny last pic- looks like she’s about to fall over b/c someone blew on her from the right.

  81. Rosa says:

    Look at the facial expression on the baby! “Stay away from my father!” or “You’re such a phony!”

  82. Annie says:

    @Why – Leann is clearly not naturally this thin, but in fairness to EC, if you look on Gettyimages you will notice that the media DO pick out the one photo out of a set which makes a celeb look either extremely gaunt or fat when the rest may have looked more normal.

  83. why? says:

    Annie

    But it wasn’t the media/Gettyimages who picked out the bikini photos that Leann posted on her twitter page, the one that sparked that argument with a fan while LR was on her honeymoon and then the one where she went on vacation with EC and his kids for father’s day. It wasn’t the media/Gettyimages who posted the photos of LR modeling in the Miko bikinis while in Cabo with EC. EC argument isn’t valid because LR looks skinny in those photos and as we saw EC and/or Leann were responsible for taking those photos and then releasing them to the media outlets of her choice.

  84. why? says:

    I guess exploiting Eddie’ kids paid off for LR because her album is ranked #2 on the Country Itunes chart and Give is ranked 73 on the Itunes ountry chart.

    Who would have thought that as a “true artist” LR success rests upon the shoulders of EC kids?

    So LR fans are only interested in downloading her music when she is exploiting EC kids?

  85. Stonegoddess says:

    @why it won’t last. It’s only the first day, watch it sink over the next day or so.

    Although, they’re going to need the money seeing as PBC is about 3 seconds from being cancelled.

    I agree, the photos that were the most commented on were the ones THEY released.

    They are both ridiculous.

  86. Victoria says:

    It goes like this…Michael Jackson, a child star who became true artist. And then there is everybody else who wishes they could have done the same.

    Some have come close to it, and LeAnn ain’t one of them.

  87. murt says:

    I have to say her voice is fantastic and her new album is amazing – probably her best work. It really deserves to do well, and is way better than most of the crap country stars are putting out nowadays.

    Unfortunately I couldn’t read or watch much of any of her interviews because of the blatant narcissism, but I do think for a child star, judging solely in comparison to other child stars, she is doing ok.

  88. why? says:

    Something strange is going on another site, I noticed that someone is using 10-15 different names to write nice comments/reviews about LR album. And you can tell it’s the same person writing these comments under several different names because he doesn’t even bother to switch up his writing style.

    I didn’t think it was possible to scam Itunes, but why else would someone need to post nice comments about LR album using 10-15 different names if it’s doing as well as the charts say? It makes me wonder, is her album being downloaded by “fans” or is her album being downloaded by LeannInc and her pr people? I just thought it was funny and odd that LeannInc is still posting under several different names to hype up this album, why would that even be necessary when the charts would speak for itself? Unless of course there is something shady going on. Seriously, with LR I have learned that anything is possible and you have to think the worse. I never would have suspected anything shady was going on with Itunes if it wasn’t for the fact that someone from camp LeannInc was using 10-15 different names to post positive comments about her album, this coming after that person spent a day making posts in other posters names.

  89. Stonegoddess says:

    @murt, I have not heard her new album yet but I agree with everything you just said. The girl can absolutely sing, great voice for sure.

    It’s just that she’s so darn unlikable & such a delusional narcissist.

  90. brin says:

    She may have a nice voice but she is a horrible person and nothing can make up for that.
