LeAnn Rimes has a drunk driver crash through her fence: legit or conspiracy?

fp_7961859_rimesleann_ringw
Another day, another “LeAnn Rimes: pay attention to me” story. That’s basically what they all boil down to. When something actually notable and maybe legitimate happens in LeAnn’s tailored for public consumption life, she jumps on it like a small mangy dog humping your leg, a dog that would hump your leg even if you were wearing sandpaper pants. So a drunk driver crashed through the gate on LeAnn’s property, and no one was hurt since they were either away or safely ensconced in their home, which was probably a full country lane down from the accident, but of course LeAnn had to tweet all about it. She predictably got sanctimonious about it too, and was so happy to lecture us on the dangers of drunk driving.

On Monday morning, a car — driven by a suspected drunk driver — plowed into the fence of the home shared by LeAnn Rimes, husband Eddie Cibrian and his two sons.

Police confirmed to E! News that a 20-year-old driver with a suspended license knocked over a stop sign before smacking into a light pole and fence of the singer and actor’s gated community home. The unidentified driver is believed to have been under the influence, but toxicology reports are pending.

Rimes, 30, flew out of town on Monday night to North Carolina, but talked about the incident via Twitter.

“To address the accident that happened in front of our home this morning, everyone is ok and safe. However, if drunk driving was involved it is terribly sad,” she wrote.

“My family could have been seriously injured and any situation where someone is drinking and driving should not be taken lightly. Needless to say, it was a very unsettling call to receive this morning. Thank goodness the young driver and everyone at home are ok.”

She replied to a tweet with, “Yes, we are ok. I’m sure it will hit me when I go home tonight and see our fence. The pics are terrifying.”

[From US Weekly]

This happened to LeAnn’s house, maybe-not-so-coincidentally, on the exact same day that her nemesis, her husband Eddie’s ex wife Brandi Glanville, appears in her second episode on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Cue dramatic hamster. Brandi has a DUI in her past, and suddenly, on the day of the night that Brandi appears on television, a drunk driver plows into LeAnn’s fence. It all works too conveniently in LeAnn’s favor for my taste. I wouldn’t put it past her to have paid some dude to do this, although this is a stunt that seems way too hard to stage given that law enforcement is involved. E! got confirmation from the police department and everything.

E! has a recap of Brandi’s appearance on RHOBH. I’m not going to watch it, sorry. I can’t stand those shows now, and you guys know why.

    Did she twat this…I mean tweet this?

  2. brin says:

    I actually thought about that, too, especially when someone mentioned how she wrote her step mom blog last Monday. She’s crazy enough to do it, too.

  3. Strawberrygirl says:

    Is it sad that my first thought was how she must love the attention this story brings her.

  4. Rita says:

    “The pictures of my damaged fence are so terrifying I won’t be able to eat for another week”.

    “I will be strong for all of you until I get home and the full impact of the devastation hits me…I’m sure I’ll be devastated.”

    “An accident on Wilshire Blvd last night could have seriously injured my entire family…and my hair dresser had any of us been in the vicinity.”

    I doubt it did as much damage as LeAnn’s hit and run last year.

    @brin-Morning babe.. If you want to read a review of Eddie’s latest performance on TPC, I posted it on the last Rimes thread…funny stuff.

  5. Messenger Of Truth says:

    “Cue dramatic hamster” link – have I been missing these hidden gems all along? Very funny.

  6. Liz says:

    that’s a terrible outfit

  7. ladybert62 says:

    Ms. Squinty eyes certainly does get around – last week it was southern california and this week is North Carolina – are they still living in Chicago – is she trying to escape the coming Chicago winter?

  8. Rita says:

    The toxicology report will show that the driver was fully hopped-up on speed, meth, and crack cocaine but that’s not what caused the accident.

    Turns out he was listening to LeAnn’s latest CD and feel asleep at the wheel.

  9. brin says:

    Hey Rita….terrific review, I’ve yet to see this masterpiece, so I had no idea how awful Eddie is. Wonder when NBC will pull the plug.

  10. renesees says:

    Mr. Rimes-Cibrian is getting a healthy dose of karma via TV Ratings. This article nails the (insert air quote) “acting” nuances that Mr. Rimes-Cibrian does not employ. K-A-R-M-A for a cheater!

    NBC just axed Playboy Club….looks like Eddie going to have to live off LeAnn some more…..

  12. brin says:

    Awww, and Leann never got to guest star on his show.

  13. lucy2 says:

    Someone check – was the driver’s name Karma?

    Drunk driving is bad, glad no one was hurt. But I seriously wouldn’t put it past this loon to stage this herself.

  14. dorothy says:

    Pics of the fence is horrifying? Those of us that read Celebitchy can tell you what’s horrifying. Seeing you in a swimsuist posing,having to endure those horse teeth or particually the top pic of you in those shorts with those hoove/shoes you have on. Now that’s horrifying!

  15. Rhiley says:

    I bet Hell is a place where every little thing we love the most in this world is available and we can partake and imbibe as much as want, day in and day out. But the catch is we will have Goopy Poop Paltrow lecturing us on one side, followed by Tweetaholic Rimes on the other, chirp chirp chirping away in our ears, day in and day out. “What’s going on here,” Paltrow screams in your left ear. “Yeah, I am sure those cookies and that beer will hit you as soon as you realize what you are doing to your body. Look at me. I said, Look at me. I am healthy,” screams Leann in the other ear. “I am fortunate enough to have the kind of metabolism that allows me to eat fried chicken and drink beer in moderation. This is because I work out three hours a day, every day, but you are fat and lazy and cannot have those things,not even in moderation,” yells Goopy in your ear. “She’s right, you know.Only some of us are lucky enough to find love and have a great metabolism but it isn’t just luck, it is hard, hard work,” Leann screams as she points her finger in your face. And curtain.

  16. OhMyMy says:

    @Yolanda: Ooh snap…it is cancelled. After only 3 episodes airing and the first cancellation of the season. That’s gotta smart. Any tweets yet?

  17. Messenger Of Truth says:

    With PBC now cancelled Eddie will soon begin filming SAVED BY THE BELL: MIDLIFE CRISIS where he will, as he did in ’93, portray a janitor for one episode, thus bringing his career full circle.

  18. Jenn says:

    Karma’s a bitch, LeAnn. Just like you. Pay whomever you want to stage what you want- you and your trophy are going down. Hard.

  19. KARMA says:

    lmao yall remember when leann was being all smug about the playboy club saying its good that a scripted show is being aired and she tried to throw shade at RHOBH..eddie, next time tell your mistress to keep her smug mouth closed..cant wait to see the album results tomorrow

  20. Stonegodess says:

    Great news that PBC was cancelled. The show was bloody awful.I tried to watch it last night and couldn’t help but laugh out loud @ EC’s terrible acting.

    The raised eyebrow/squint – hilarious. This is what you call KARMA ass hat. You reap what you sow.

    Wait for the new photo ops and next stunt for publicity these losers pull. Gonna be good.

  21. missanne says:

    anyone see her sing Adele’s “someone like you” ? I felt like my head was going to explode. she did it justice, i have to admit.

  22. Rita says:

    @all

    Thanks for the info on TPC being cancelled. Eddie Cibrian is the death of any show.

    Brandi, you are well on your way now. You don’t need any help from that worthless ex husband of yours. Let us know if he turns deadbeat on his child support. Brandi is moving up in the TV rating and Eddie had his big chance and blew it. A big glass of Karma punch for everyone.

  23. Stonegodess says:

    Rita,

    Couldn’t have said it better myself! I loved BG on RHOBH last night. She’s gorgeous, smart and can hold her own against the rest of them.

    Now we wait for the inevitable crazy tweets from LR defending him. Or another photo op.

    Watching her album fall further down the charts. So much satisfaction watching them suffer after all the awful things they’ve done.

    In the words of Nelson from the Simpsons…. “Ha Ha!”

  24. KARMA says:

    @Rita im not one to laugh at anyones misfortune but these two are so smug that i just have to smile…isnt it funny how the tweles said that RHOBH would make brandi so hated…brandi does get some nasty tweets but from looking at her mentions there are way more good tweets about her than bad, plus she is the life of the show..lets see if eddie and leann wil eat some humble pie, at least Brandi is employed..didnt leann film a segment on some home decorating channel for their Chicago apt, wonder if it will still air

  25. brin says:

    Well said, Rita! It’s Brandi’s time now and I am so happy for her!
    Hope Leann has a case of Don Julio in the house, Eddie’s gonna need it.

  26. renesees says:

    Do I hear *crickets* on Leann’s twitter? Cannot believe she is not already on the defensive, LovE. And make no mistake, the PBC was ultimately sunk by Eddie Cibrian. He really does come off as a “douchebag of all time.”

  27. Tierra says:

    I think this was staged to take yet another jab at Brandi. I just hope someone posts the info on LR’s hit and run and video of her and LC getting in a car after drinking.

  28. skilo says:

    Eddie can’t act, he is terrible and his looks awful squinty, smarmy, and aging rapidly. Leann is going to have to buy him roles if he’s going to keep pretending to be an actor. It’s a waste of money she might as well just pay him (directly) for sex like the man whore he is.

  29. why? says:

    What makes LR tweet even sad is the fact that Eddie Cibrain drinks and drived. Last year back in October(or was it Sept?) Leann tweeted a photo of EC with alcohol in his hand and then later they were spotted getting into a car. LR was slurring her words and EC was so out of it he was in his own zone.

    I also thought that LR was pulling a “Look at me” moment with this accident because of the RHOBH as well, it’s why LR also set up and staged 5 photo-ops(3 of them were shots from one day)in just 3 days.

  30. why? says:

    After airing only 3 times PBC has been cancelled. I must admit I didn’t expect NBC to cancel PBC seeing as how they work so hard to protect EC and LR. So things must have been really bad. I read one article that said that many of the advertisers(ie-Kraft) sided with PTC and pulled their ads/commericals during PBC airtime.

    NBC has no one to blame but themselves. It’s not like they didn’t know that this was going to happen, the same thing happened with Chase/CSI/and EC Hallmark movie. So once again NBC gets a crude awakenening: Saturating the media/internet/blogs with everything that is EC and LR and then instructing EC and LR to stage photo-ops with the kids to get sympathy for the show has the opposite effect. People don’t like EC and LR, they are the Heidi and Spencer of 2011. NBC/PBC took a wrong turn when they sent LR and EC to fashion week after they had already set up several mega media blitzes; allowed LR to give interview after interview about PBC; advertising that LR was going to be on the show; selling PBC as one that empowers women but then allowing EC (a cheater who knows nothing about empowering women since he is a cheater and makes his current wife feel so insecure that she SWF his ex wife or won’t eat at all) to do more promotions/interviews/photoshoots than the female cast members.

    I’m sure that NBC will create another vanity project for EC and LR. Or perhaps NBC will finally learn it’s lesson. If they are going to associate with EC and LR, then put them on some times outs. This means no tweets, interviews, blogs, or staged photo-ops.

    So I wonder how HGTV(LR and EC aparment will be featured on a new show that will be airing) and Charisma sheets will handle the news of PBC cancellation. Will they put LR and EC on some time outs or will they continue to allow them to set up these mega media blitzes, which results in more and more backlash. LR set up 5 staged photo-ops in a course of 3 days, one of which she used EC kids as props.

    So will LR and EC damage control be a staged pda photo-op of EC and LR at Nobu and a headline that reads “EC and LR: PDA filled night at Nobu-EC and LR don’t let the cancellation of EC show phase them as newlyweds show love their love for one another” or perhaps a shopping trip where they make out on the street to show us that EC isn’t at all upset that he doesn’t get to hang out with the bunnies?

  31. Madisyn says:

    “Iā€™m sure it will hit me when I go home tonight and see our fence. The pics are terrifying.ā€

    What the fuck is ‘terrifying’ about a busted fence. Good Lord, overstating much?

  32. why? says:

    Did you hear the news?

    LR will be feautured in a special interview with Maya Angelou that airs in January on the Hallmark Channel . The premise is people who inspire Maya Angleou and Maya Angelou is inspired by LR. That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. And yet again LR uses her friendship with her producer friends to get jobs. It’s airing on the Hallmark Channel, the same channel that produced that Hallmark movie EC was in.

    So now LR thinks that she can make it okay to talk about EC kids and of course her affair with EC by involving an icon such as Maya Angelou. Seriously, they really need to cancel this interview. The backlash is growing and it’s going to get even worse for EC and LR.

    LR even went so far as to state that she and EC are planning on taking the kids to North Caronlina to have dinner with Maya Aneglou.

    Oh and in the interview LR is wearing a dress with a slit that shows off her leg. How is that an appropriate thing to wear for an interview with MA?

    So is this LR damage control to EC cancellation? She releases stories about how MA likes her? Seriously, this was yet another wrong move, especially after she made EC son miss his soccer game just so that she can stage photo-ops with him at her concert and after everyone has witnessed how she encourages her fans and friends to attack BG on twitter.

  33. why? says:

    More media outlets are reporting on Leann’s intimate interview with Maya A, you know because when LR sat down with Ellen to the tell the very same story about her happy family and how she found true love with EC, LR was slammed. So what makes LR think that this interview with Maya A is going to over well with the public? Cue the backlash.

    If LR thought the backlash from her Ellen interview was bad, image how things are going to get for her once more and more of the public hears of her interview with Maya A and question why Maya A would even do an interview with LR considering that there is so much evidence to support that LR doesn’t deserve this interview. All of all people LR? Maya A could have interviewed someone much better than this. Like Taylor S. Carrie U. Lady Antebellum. People who make a difference without exploiting others.

    Who is advising LR? It’s getting really sad. This is what sets LR and EC apart from other cheaters. They keep giving interview after interview to shove their farce down people’s throats and when that interview gets slammed, they stoop any lower. Good luck to the person who thought that they could use Maya A to save LR image! BACKLASH central is headed towards LR way.

  34. proudly Nigerian says:

    @Why,
    You seem personally invested in this matter,what is it to you,I wonder?
    I’ve come to realise that Leanne Rimes is Public enemy no.1 around here,but watching and waiting for her ‘imminent downfall’ is kinda scary and worrisome,I mean you are positively gloating like she hurt you personally in some way.
    If I didn’t read other stories and comments from other articles I’d be seriously worried about the hatefulness I sense here.
    Especially as the rules of commenting on this blog states clearly that its against that(excessive negativity)….maybe only against Leanne Rimes is written in fine print I cannot see,*laughs*

  35. Memphis says:

    Maybe Karma was driving šŸ™‚ Well not Karma, she hasn’t made her appearance yet ( but she’s coming ;))but maybe it was Karma’s second cousin, consequences. Either way too bad they weren’t by the fence checking the mail..hehe…I kid, I kid. šŸ˜‰

  36. why? says:

    Proudly Nigerian

    Haven’t we heard this all before? A “different” poster shows up telling other posters that are too invested in the “matter”, they go on about how LR is the victim because people dare comment (which they describe as hatred/jealously) on her constant attention seeking, and they boo hoo about how people are trying to ruin LR because once again they would dare call her out for her antics and then 30 min later LR releases a staged photo-op to her mouthpieces.

    So is that what is going to happen? Leann is going to release a staged photo-op? So what type of staged photo-op are we going to see from camp Leann Rimes because that is precisely why you showed up isn’t it?

    There is no sense in constantly blaming the people who comment on LR constant attention seeking. Just because LR pays certain mouthpieces to write fluff about her and EC, that doesn’t mean that the public also has to do the same.

    LR is wrong. And rather come to these sites and criticize others for commenting on LR antics, perhaps she should learn to be selective. When she got slammed for her interview with Ellen, LR should have known that her interview with Maya A wasn’t going to go well.

    Excessive negativity? You can’t possibly be serious? Didn’t you try to use this same argument when you were posting as irena? Why do you seem to think that people are only obligated to say nice things about Leann?

  37. KatScorp says:

    ^^^ Nigerian, why choose this thread and not a Linday Lohan thread?

  38. brin says:

    Mornin peeps! I saw that Leann finally tracked down Guilana & they met for drinks (lots of ice!). Leann tweeted they were meant to meet for a reason….yeah, she tweeted about it til they did…talk about a bully!
    *waving to KatScorp*

  39. proudly Nigerian says:

    As I live in Nigeria…I know Leanne Rimes only as a girl who sang the soundtrack to a favorite movie of mine growing up Conair(a long time ago!hopefully my taste in movies has matured as I’ve grown,tee hee)….and I come to this blog every once in awhile after work,and click on the topics that interest me or based on name recognition,also based on number of comments….I’ve got to tell you,I click on Leanne Rimes stories because the comments are so…for lack of a better word,passionate,kinda like the angie-jennifer ones,but today I thought I should say something because the bile spewing forth was unbelievable,and the gloating,wow…well to me @ least…I think I’ll just be quiet now and go back to just reading.
    I am not Irena by the way,the few comments I do post,I always post as Proudly Nigerian *smiles*

  40. proudly Nigerian says:

    @KatScorp
    What I get from the Lindsay comments is mostly anger and annoyance due to the fact that she is a young girl wasting her life away,and I totally understand that….
    This Leanne Rimes girl seems ditzy to me so I really don’t get the hate….
    2 comments in one day,I guess I’m now a CB commenter *laughs*

  41. Truth&Accuracy says:

    @proudly Nigerian: Trisha Yearwood sang ConAir’s hit song, so you’ve based your opinion of LeAnn on an erroneous belief, which you seem to have a penchant for doing. So what you don’t “get the hate”, perhaps those of us that “proudly have morals and values” do get what’s going on and why they make the effort to spread knowledge to the ill informed.

  42. Jezi says:

    I find it hilarious she lectures on drunk driving, like Rita said, her hit and run a couple years back means she doesn’t practice what she preaches. Not to mention her drug habit, according to Dean’s sis. So Leann, you’re pristine bullshit is just what it is bullshit. As well as your thoughts on cussing right after the “cock” episode aired. Your lectures don’t hold water when you call your fans bitches and hoes to joke around and in your wedding speech you said “let’s eat some cake bitches”. Tsk tsk!

  43. proudly Nigerian says:

    @TruthAndAccuracy
    Oops my bad,she did do that song @ around that time and after hearing it at the end the movie…thought it was her…honest mistake…
    But to say ‘penchant for doing?’,do I know you?I mean like are you familiar with my comments from here or anywhere else,like I said in an earlier comment its just about my 1st time of making a comment on CB…
    I think the only error I made was commenting on this thread….who ‘proudly have morals and values’…I mean really,that’s quite the high horse you are on,dear…well its ok,I guess…

  44. why? says:

    Proudly Nigerian

    Did I call it or what? Why oh why is camp Leann Rimes so predictable? Just like I suspected, Leann set up and staged yet another photo-op Tuesday night at Nobu, which explains the “you are all bad people for being mean to LR” posts. And why did Leann invite Radaronline and x17 to Nobu with her(LR tried to make it look like she and GR went to Nobu together, but according to GR they met earlier at another place)? Because no one likes her and EC. So what better way to convince people that she and EC are well liked by their peers, than to use her friendship with producers at NBC to force anyone who calls her out on her bad behavior to go back on their word. Seriously so now because Maya A and GR like LR, we are supposed to like LR and EC? Who is advising these two. Don’t they just know that they are creating backlash for the celebs who support them? So NBC is going around bullying any media outlet who isn’t nice to LR?

    Can you image what LR and GR talked about over drinks(BTW, I hope that LR didn’t get into a car and drive after her meeting with GR since she doesn’t take drinking and driving lightly)? Let’s take a guess? Who wants to bet that LR showed GR the light by playing BG voice messages and repeating those two stories she paid STar to write about BG?

    So will LR and GR meeting for drinks be featured on GR show? Or will GR just talk about her meeting with LR(you know since LR thinks that reality tv stars are fame hungry)and then go on and on about how she was wrong for misjudging LR and relationship/affair to EC.
