LeAnn Rimes complains of painful “minor surgery”: what did she have done?

Ooooh, this is a good not-so-blind item. LeAnn Rimes tweeted yesterday that she had “minor surgery” and she’s currently in a lot of pain. What did she have done?!?! The Mail has new photos of LeAnn here – her face is partially in shadow, but it doesn’t look puffy or anything, so I’m guessing she didn’t get a nose job. I’m also guessing she didn’t get her lips done, or any kind of facelift or something major like that. So what was it?

When you’re feeling down and out, there’s nothing like feeling the sand beneath your toes to make you feel better. That’s exactly what LeAnn Rimes thought as she headed to Malibu after undergoing surgery on her face.

The singer revealed on Twitter she had had an operation, but didn’t go into detail, just saying the procedure was minor. She was spotted on the balcony of a beach house in a string bikini, enjoying the scorching rays.

The stylish two piece – one of the many in her collection – featured a pink, purple and white paisley design and she paired the number with a blue and white trucker hat. A loyal friend was seen lathering sunblock on the 29-year-old’s back. She later covered up in a white kaftan as she enjoyed a cold beverage.

The How Do I Live singer told her 241,000 Twitter followers earlier: ‘K, coming clean….I had minor surgery this week and I’ve been in SO much pain it’s not even funny. Nothing major just annoying! Pain pain go away!!!!!! When it’s mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK’

She later revealed she had had ‘facial surgery’ and joked to a friend ‘Lol that makes it sound like I got work done. You are gonna start some rumors’.

LeAnn added: ‘The pain is subsiding finally for a moment. My head has been vibrating all day. Maybe the sand under my feet is helping.’

[From The Mail]

My two best guess are something tweaked on her boobs or some kind of eye surgery (de-squintification?) because her sunglasses seem comically oversized and in the one photo where you can see her eyes clearly, her eyes do look slightly bruised. LeAnn had her boobs done more than a year ago, and considering how bad and lopsided they looked, I wouldn’t blame her at all for going in and trying to fix them. But she’s wearing a bikini top in those photos – so I’m really thinking she got some kind of eye work.

UPDATE: Ah, I completely missed that she referenced mouth and jaw pain. So she had some kind of oral surgery. MY BAD!

Here’s a photo that LeAnn tweeted yesterday:

    Let’s hope she had her “needy” bone removed.

    • charity says:

      Think she had her horse veneers replaced with smaller horse veneers.OH THE PAIN OH THE PAIN EDDIE FETCH ME A BEVERAGE

    • Rita says:

      Evolutionary theory suggests that when such a prominent bone is removed the creature’s skeleton is replaced with cartilage….that’s how the dinosaurs evolved into cephalopods.

    • originalone says:

      Well, whatever she had done or removed on or from her mouth: It certainly is not helping me with my gag reflex every time I see her yet another needy-idiotic twittering. 😉

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        Hmmm. Minor surgery. They went in to remove, what appeared to be, a minor growth on her spinal chord only to find out it was her brain. She didn’t appear to be using it, so they removed it 😜

      • originalone says:

        Oh Thank Goodness! I thought that growth was her ugly evil twin!!!

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        We can definitely rest easy. The world cannot handle two of this horse head on a stick.

    • SolitaryAngel says:

      Isn’t her “needy” bone permanently attached to Ediot’s d*ck bone?
      LMAO btw 

    • SolitaryAngel says:

      Isn’t her “needy” bone permanently attached to Ediot’s bone?
      LMAO btw 

  2. Cherry says:

    Speaking of plastic surgery gone bad… WTF IS UP WITH THAT CHICK IN PIC #2 (the one in the middle with the ‘L’ necklace)!!??? She looks like the poster girl for busted lip fillers. Eew.

    • barb333 says:

      I thought the exact same thing. And is it just me, or does she always look better in big glasses and over sized hats? 😉 Although it does bring out the cleft on her chin, don’t think I have seen it that obvious before. Oh well, as they say, the lesser of 2 evils………

      • Lucy says:

        she definetly looks better in big hats, especially big bee keeper hats with the giant veil that goes over the face…that would be a good style for horse face!

    • 221jazz says:

      Cherry, that chick in the middle with the “L” necklace used to be Brandi Glanville’s BFF for many years. Liz turned her back on Brandi contacted Leann and now Liz and Leann are BFFs. Not only does Leann have Brandi’s ex-husband but she also has her former friends too. Her plans to replace Brandi as the mum of her two boys are not going to work though, that has proven to be harder than Leann anticipated. She still tries with her passive-aggressive tweets, showing up at the kid’s school etc. Leann Rimes is an insecure woman, she pretends to be “nice” on Twitter, but behind closed doors she plots against Brandi. Eddie Cibrian is not allowed to speak with Brandi, everything is done via his assistant, he has an assistant yet he can’t even keep a job. What does it say about a woman who takes your husband and your friends? Liz is an opportunist; someday all the dirty low down crap Leann Rimes has done will blow up in her face.

      • Bobby sue says:

        That Liz woman is HI-DE-OUS. The bubble mouth is repulsive. These people all deserve one another.

      • Mo cheeks says:

        Wow that is scary… Sounds more like Liz stays where Eddie is than “Leann stole Liz” to me.

      • Mo_cheeks says:

        Wow that is scary… Sounds more like Liz stays where Eddie is than Leann stole Liz.

      • Asli says:

        Mo-cheeks_ Uh, do you think she’s his mistress? Sounds suspicious that she would follow Eddie around and her becoming friends with Leann of her own will sounds unlikely (since Leann has no redeeming qualities).

      • Zelda says:

        Haha. Even Brandi Glanville’s friends don’t like her. To have Leanne Rimes be someone’s pick over you?
        Haha.

      • Newtsgal says:

        I can’t help but laugh at that Liz chick, she reminds me of Goldie Hawn in 1st wives club after she left the doctors office and everybody was staring in horror at her overblown lips, how do these chicks think that makes them look better is beyond me

      • Paloma says:

        Liz’s betrayal would hurt just about as much as the husband thingy. Trying to figure out why Liz switched teams.

      • Sassy says:

        Well considering Liz is married to Eddie’s friend it makes sense she’s friends with Leann. I know it was awkward for me when my husband’s friend got divorced and I had to be around the jumpoff bc it made me feel guilty for being her friend and ultimately the ex wife cut me off because she didn’t want to be reminded of “negative energy”. The ex wife and I weren’t besties or even that good of friends though so whatever. I bet Brandi thinks its hilarious the only friends leann has are the ones she chucked off along with Ediot

      • Paloma says:

        Thanks, Sassy, for telling me the scoop on Liz.

      • Petunia says:

        I think it is really weird that Liz follows LeAnn everywhere. Doesn’t she have a job? A life? An SO? Other friends? A house? Why is she always following LeAnn around? The answer HAS to be that LeAnn is paying her to. Who else would do that and for what other reason? Unless there’s sex involved somewhere. Otherwise, it’s money. So LeAnn is paying to keep a friend around.

    • e.non says:

      her lips look like they’re about to rip open… whywhywhy do these women think they look attractive doing this to themselves. that’s how they measure their self-worth — the big lips imply great blowjobs. ugh.

    • Jen D says:

      When I first saw the photo I had a bit of a shock and thought it was LeAnn. I was like, “How could anyone think she didn’t have plastic surgery?!” She looks like she stuck her lips into a vacuum cleaner hose.

  3. Tanguerita says:

    something with/about her teeth – would be my guess.After all she is still trying to maintain the legend about her being all natural, isn’t she?she wouldn’t talk about any kind of plastic surgery.

  4. Vanden says:

    Ooooh LeAnn’s had some minor surgery? I think the more pressing question is who the hell cares

  5. Marnie says:

    Is she finally admitting she had a boob job?

  6. Rita says:

    Being in deep and abiding love will do this to people. As soon as one finds their soulmate, the first thing one does in change everything about themselves. In love, one realizes one is not the person they thought they were and must morph into someone else.

    It’s very natural and normal to hate the person you were when you were not in love. Obviously, Eddie wants her to be someone other than the person he married….and who can blame him for that.

    Anyway, 17 more surgeries, injections, treatments, suctions, and tattoos should get her where she wants to be. Forge on LeAnn, forge on.

  7. Kesha says:

    Attention seeking surgery, well done Leann.

    Maybe she got work done on her teeth, I assume a bird flew into it and got stuck between her molars while her mouth was wide open (catching flies and waiting for ediots c**k) laughing in happiness as per usual.

    Either her lips or the vet clipped her overgrown horse teeth so she can graze better.

  8. Jules says:

    Her fake teeth are too big (like Hilary Duff’s were).

  9. JoJo says:

    I’d like to point out, with surgery and pain comes pain medication. These photos show her drinking. Mixing booze and meds? I think so. “Bonus” Mom of the year. Eddie always has a drink in hand. Booze on Ed, Booze on!

    • barb333 says:

      If you are talking about the last picture, it is an old picture. Not that I am defending her, I would not doubt that she mixing.

  10. Rita says:

    Per the Update:

    Dong extraction is not minor oral surgery. Drink only warm fluids and do not eat ice cream for 48 hours after the procedure.

  11. 221jazz says:

    There is nothing more sad and pathetic than an ugly woman trying her damn best to be sexy. Sexy is something you have naturally. Wearing skimpy bikinis, fedora hats, jacked-up titties and horse teeth are NOT going to make you sexy you poor delusional-insecure-former-fat-yodel kid.

    • Bobby sue says:

      BAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! Too true

    • Petunia says:

      I suppose if Eddie just looks from the neck down, she’s fine. And he probably doesn’t care about what’s above the neck anyway, except that it have Brandi-colored hair attached to it.

      I honestly think LeAnn was cute when she had more weight on her. But with the weight off her face looks like a great big grinning Jack O Lantern. Not good.

  12. Heidi says:

    The only change I can see is in the teeth. She had bulky veneers way too big for her tiny mouth. Now the teeth are smaller and of a different shape.

  13. Heidi says:

    The old veneers really did look like horse teeth and caused her face to be stretched in an elongated manner. Haha and she claims to never read any of the criticism about herself. Proof she does, took it to heart and had a makeover.
    Next… cheek implants and nose job to more resemble Brandi, the woman she so much wants to be.

    • cbear says:

      OH, she soooo reads the stuff about herself. She has a hard time keeping that lie straight though! She wrote the other day that she doesn’t get her feelings hurt because she’s confident and doesn’t read the things written about her. Then not 5 tweets later wrote, “Eddie and I laugh so hard when we read these things!” or something like that. She is a moron. Plain and simple.

      As far as the teeth, yeah, she probably downsized. Isn’t the bigger story though her quest to become besties with Kim Kardashian! hahaha. Can’t believe it took those two famewhores this long to get together! Her career just keeps circling the drain….

      • Rita says:

        I saw where Le and Kim went to lunch but their friendship ended when they both went to use the ladies’ room…..there was only one mirror.

  14. Newtsgal says:

    If you mash together the face of the Joker & the Grinch what do you get?

    hint… look at the 1st pic

  15. Madisyn says:

    She probably had her teeth cleaned at the dentist. Poor, poor Wewe.

    Happy Super Bowl Day all. Hey Rita, brin, Newtsgal who ya rootin for?

    • Rita says:

      Hi Madisyn

      I love a winner so I’ll tell you after the game who I’m rootin for.

    • brin says:

      Happy Super Bowl, Madisyn! Go Giants!

      • Madisyn says:

        Yeah, after the Giants kicked ‘my’ Green Bay ass 3 weeks ago, I told a couple of ladies on tmz I’d root for their Giants in the Super Bowl. The Pats have already won three and Giants won their only one against the Pats in 2008. You must be really excited for ’round 2′!

    • Newtsgal says:

      Hey Madisyn!
      I’m torn….I have reasons for both teams to win but, my left brain he is pulling for the Giants.
      At this point I’m in it for the commercials…..lol!

      • Heather M (Heather) says:

        Awesome, Madisyn! My exact same reasoning! Love Green Bay, but boy did they mess that last game up. 🙁 And the Patriots, c’mon, Tom Brady’s life is perfect enough. So, grudgingly, I say Go Giants.

        BTW, you comment on TMZ?! I did once about Leann, and got called a “stupid bitc*,” making me pause before reading that blog, let alone commenting!

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        Hey mads!

        Rooting for the Giants and my best friends cousin Henry Hynoski!

  16. Luise says:

    She looks like a pony.

  17. vicky says:

    I think she looks like Cindy-Loo but not in a good way.

  18. Veronica says:

    Maybe she had her wisdom teeth out?

  19. Quinn says:

    Ten to one, Eddie is sleeping with one (or both) of the above shown skanks, and Leann is too pathetic to know it.

  20. Rebecks says:

    Looks like she had her jaw aligned. Her chin no longer looks recessive.
    Go Pats.

  21. Franny says:

    Her looks could be helped so much if she just had slightly different eyebrows. A bit more of an arch, and pencil them a bit longer. Seriously, it would open up those squints so much.

    • Petunia says:

      You’re right. Put a thumb over the brows and the eyes look much more in balance with the rest of the face. She should have a professional make up artist help her correct the brows so they fit over the eye more flatteringly.

  22. Jezi says:

    Both the women with Leann were Brandi’s friends. Liz with the big fake lips and Elisa is the other one. Both would flirt with Eddie when he was married to Brandi. So its pretty obvious why they went to the other side. Leann gets them photographed and Liz gets vacations.

  23. LeeLoo says:

    I don’t think any amount of plastic surgery will take the fugly out of her face so it really doesn’t make sense that she would even waste her money to try.

    As far as oral surgery goes, hopefully it will help her with the weird underbite she has going on.

  24. Stephanie says:

    I cannot blame a woman for getting implants or breast reduction surgery or a lift. But her tits are so far apart they look like they are mad at each other. Maybe an over-the-muscle implant would have been a better choice.

  25. Enn says:

    Are trucker hats still happening? I thought that trend died a well deserved death six or seven years ago.

    • Sassy says:

      last time I saw trucker hats being cool was when I was a senior in HS in 2005…and even then it was tacky.

  26. The Truth Fairy says:

    That first pic is pure gold.

  27. skuddles says:

    After looking at that top pic of her in green, I’m hoping it’s a nose job.

  28. Gabby says:

    Has anyone watched an interview of her and Eddie together? It is SHOCKING how unattractive she looks next to him, like she is a meticulously-groomed 4 or a 5, and he is easily a 9 or 9.5 (say what you will about his morals, but he’s objectively hot).

    Based on physicality, they should NOT be together, which I’m sure is why she’s so desperate to morph into his ideal woman, since he sure doesn’t seem like the type of guy to look beyond the superficial.

    Also, has anyone seen her most recent blog? http://leannrimesworld.com/blog/inspired

    I can’t copy and paste what she wrote but she MOST DEFINITELY reads the criticism about her looks, it’s hilarious.

    • Kelly says:

      Oh my goodness! I just read that link that gabby posted; I didn’t realize that LeAnn was as the Dalai Lama of Wisdom.

    • Petunia says:

      I just read the blog. It’s amazing that all LeAnn took away from being bullied is that being her “best me” involves going after someone else’s husband and dumping her own. That’s it? That’s what she learned about being the “best me?”

      Here’s what I learned from her blog: that she’s very self-obsessed and hasn’t any inner reflection.

  29. Cirque28 says:

    LOL at the Daily Mail saying Ediot is inside relaxing.

    They really are a perfect match. The manic Energizer bunny of pleasing with Mr “I’m gonna need a vacation after this vacation.”

  30. dorothy says:

    If we’re all luckey she had her tubes tied.

  31. dorothy says:

    If we’re all lucky she had her tubes tied.

  32. Cleveland Girl says:

    She probably DID have her eyes done, but just SAID it was oral surgery to distract us! Otherwise why is she wearing HUGE glasses in every picture. I think Kaiser had it right the first time.

  33. the original bellaluna says:

    Too bad they didn’t wire her jaw shut. (And wire her tweeting fingers together.)

  34. Dhavy says:

    She obviously didn’t do enough because she still looks fug to me

  35. Amy says:

    the second picture… is that from a photoshoot? Or is that Leann just being ridiculous?

  36. Linda says:

    Someone in that much pain, DOES NOT tweet over 100 times per day, all week long as she has.

    Natural born LIAR!!!

  37. Sarah says:

    My guess is wisdom tooth extraction. It’s be just like her to make something out of nothing.

  38. aprayerforthewildatheart says:

    In the past LRs teeth looked too small and her smile was “gummy”.

    I think what she had done, originally, was a combination gum reduction with veneers, with the result of her teeth looking too big for her face.

    I think they replaced the first veneers with smaller ones, as they don’t look too big anymore.

    Other than that I’m sure she’s high as kite on pain meds and alcohol, and that’s why she’s at the beach, and smiling even though she’s in so much “pain”. **eyeroll**

  39. boobear says:

    Eddie has probably been boinking Ole Liz 4 years even when she was Brandis friend, that’s why she went with Old Eddie, now they both get free trips from Horse Face and meet in the bathroom stall for those quickies.

  40. Jenn says:

    Seriously, this girl has had the worst boob job (next to Tara Reed and Heidi Montag)in the history of boob jobs. I think Rhode Island could fit in the middle of her breasts. How can Eddie find that in the least bit attractive? Oh ya…her huge bank account.

  41. RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

    Words alone cannot convey how much I absolutely DETEST this horse faced woman. She is beyond repugnant. I will gladly sit back and throughly enjoy her ineveitable and eventual demise and implosion of her relationship. She is despicable.
    Lets all take odds on how it will happen. One mistress? two?? Three? Will he walk out? or put her through hell first? However it happens I hope its widely publicized for us all to make some pop corn and enjoy. Smile and laugh now LeHam. Those who last laugh longest.

  42. Psyren says:

    I actually took a step back from the screen after clicking the link. That first pic should come with a warning label. Her clown game is STRONG.

  43. Kelly says:

    I gave natural childbirth to an 11 lb baby (ouch) – and I have a better body w/ fewer stretch marks than that! That’s terrible….kind of makes me feel sorry for her.

  44. Meanchick says:

    In the pic with her and the other two stooges; who is the leech lips in the middle? Ick and Yuck.

  45. Sue says:

    Wow, that to pic is scary!! Clownlike….

  46. Kesha says:

    I see why Leann is bending over backwards to accommodate ediot. If their relationship ends, her money will be spent,her family and supposedly bffs will also evaporate along with her family image. She’d no doubt be seen as the bitter whore who got her just deserts. If I were Leann I’d saddle up and let ed ride the donkey too.

  47. Elle says:

    She looked so much better before she got with him.

  48. Memphis says:

    My guess is she tracked down Brandi’s dentist and had veneers made that look identical to Brandi’s teeth. Crazy ass woman…wouldn’t put it past her.

  49. jilly says:

    So according to her blog she used to think she was scaly, ugly and unlovable, and now she doesn’t. LeAnn girl, you coulda fooled me. IMO, you still have major self-esteem issues that are not even close to being resolved.

    Is that why your first husband was allegedly a gay man who never touched you? And why you are so deeply, nay desperately, grateful to Ediot for his willingness to f**k you provided you remain willing to make certain improvements? You tweet bec Eddie doesn’t even care enuf about you to tell you what a jackass you are making of yourself. You tweet because you have so much time on your hands and he clearly doesn’t give a shit what you get up to.

    How sadly delusional you are LeAnn. The break-up with Eddie is not going to be pretty.

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      I’m actually afraid for Brandi and their kids when EC leaves LR, because you KNOW it’s just a matter of time. That crazy B will be straight up in “I WILL NOT BE IGNORED DAN!!”, bunny boiling, pistol packing territory before the words “I’m out” even leave his mouth. To be safe, he should have her committed to a mental institution before he bolts.

  50. Moi says:

    I don’t know… Did she have a brain installed?

  51. Jaxx says:

    What has this girl done to herself? I remember when she first came out singing Blue, and other country songs. She had a voice that would make chills run up your spine. Youngest to win a grammy, etc, so many awards.

    I didn’t follow the story when she married this guy she’s with but it seems all she does now is run around in a bikini showing her stick thin figure. She was rather pretty when she first became famous, but NOW? What in the world happened to her? Does she even sing anymore?

  52. GirlyGirl says:

    Remember when she was that cute teen country singer? Who knew she would get so weird

  53. daisy says:

    shes so strange looking..sometimes she looks like a who. dr suess..you know

  54. serena says:

    how ugly, she seems like a horse.

  55. Sillyone says:

    Hope she had something done with those squinty damn eyes!!

  56. Julie says:

    Never realized what an ugly nose she has!

  57. janet says:

    I think this is what she had done. Says it fixes long face syndrome. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentofacial_osteotomy

  58. bpokchoi says:

    she needs her fugly removed

  59. Jenny Abbott says:

    She has really bad TMJ. She’s talked about it before, on Twitter and in interviews.

  60. anne says:

    she had the thong unwedged from her ass

  61. Baylor says:

    LeAnn has always done that. Her “friends” before were Dean’s friends. Now her “friends” are Eddie’s friends. Everyone else is a paid employee or a family friend. I also remember her going on and on about being friends with Keith and Nicole Kidman a while back. When she was still married to Dean. Funny enough, they are never seen at any of her parties, weddings, and never talk about her.
    The same with all the celebrities she has ever claimed to be good friends with. They are never at each others parties, weddings, or seen ever doing something together. Most never even tweet her back! She must be soo excited that Kim paid any attention to her. If nothing comes out of it in the long run, she will never let it go. LOL!

  62. Twez says:

    I was hoping it was a cranial rectotomy (having her head removed from her own ass).

  63. Rux says:

    WTF is going on with her boobs…that is the most budget Tijuana Tit job I have ever seen…I could have done better with my “Operation” game tools when I was five years old.
    Seriously, Brandi and her doc must be in on this hot mess together and laughing all the way to the bank.

  64. Jana G says:

    With that face, she could play The Joker in the next Batman movie…and I don’t know who performed that boob job, but they are horrific.
