I’m including some photos of LeAnn Rimes taken from her Twitter feed over the past few days. In these photos – presumably taken on Friday and Saturday – LeAnn has her normal dirty-blonde hair. So what was the deal with her appearance on Friday with dark brown hair? You can see those photos here – I looked at those photos closely, and it doesn’t seem to be a wig, at least not to my eyes. Did she dye her hair brown and then go back to blonde within a few days? I don’t get it. Then again, I’m not thinking too hard about it. PS… LeAnn also included this photo on her Twitter feed:
Is she laughing at herself? Or does she have literally no idea about what people say about her?
Anyway, in other Single White Female news, did you know that Brandi Glanville is probably going to write a memoir about her marriage to Eddie Cibrian and everything that happened afterwards? Well, guess what? LEANN can totally write a memoir too, y’all.
To say there’s a lot of interest in LeAnn Rimes’ personal life is an understatement.
The 29-year-old country star has been a tabloid regular since her affair with now-hubby Eddie Cibrian. (Both Rimes and Cibrian were married when they first fell in love in 2009 on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Lights.)
But now, a publishing source tells E! News that Rimes’ rep has been “putting out feelers” to find the right person to help write her autobiography and “tell LeAnn’s side of the story in her own voice.”
So will this be a juicy tell-all?
Maybe so. A publishing source says she “wants it to be a very honest book so she can speak directly to her fans and tell her side of the story. She’s been through a lot of changes over the past few years and this is her chance to speak candidly to her fans.”
Also planning to write a book is Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star tweeted last month that her story “has been a long time coming [and it’s] about surviving divorce.”
Will both ladies take the literary high road? We’ll have to wait and see. Either way, there’s a good chance both of these books will be best-sellers.
I love that it sounds like Brandi already has a publisher and almost like… someone approached Brandi about writing a book, and when LeAnn heard about it, she immediately called up everyone she knew so she too could write a book (and even then, no publisher is biting as of yet). LeAnn is so crazy, they need a new word for it. I seriously wish LeAnn would just STOP. Just let it go. Let Brandi have something all to herself. But LeAnn just can’t help herself.

Wait till she gets knocked up …. I can’t even imagine the things that will be coming out of her mouth. She will think their baby is the next Messiah. Lol.
Bwahahahaha…love the donkey pic!! As Michael K. said, she makes it too easy!
She can’t stop, K., it’s her nature.
Wonder if she started braying.
Oh…and Brandi’s book is already written, it’s supposed to be out soon!
The chances of any book written by Brandi Glandville or LeAnn Rimes being the “literary highroad” are remote.
Just neigh
hehe
I hope LeAnn is making fun of herself with the donkey headpiece. That is pretty funny and she does seem to be taking herself less seriously and dialing down the crazy over the past few months.
Why would anyone need to read a tell all when she blabs everything on twitter constantly and makes everything public?
An already told tell-all will not be a best seller.
That’s my thought. No need to buy her book. Just read her twitter feed. She’s been “telling” her side of the story for years in 140 words or less.
Brandi and Leann should team up and write a series. Call it “The White Trash Chronicles”
Who does that?
Opens the doors of a wardrobe, takes out all the old coats and then says “hey, can you hold my iphone? If I get inside this wardrobe and hold on to the rail and look over your head wistfully, it’s gonna look AWESOME.”
What is the feminine of “douche”?
Funny & true!
AND…you can tell he’s (typo and it stays) looking into a mirror across the room to get her pose on ‘just perfect.’
douchette?
Again with the nostrils.
the feminine of douche is douchessa, she is the douchessa of douche
I agree, we already know EVERYTHING about her. She tweets everything from where she’s eating to what size BM she had that day.
CDAN said it, too- she just wants Brandi to disappear so she can BE her. This is so beyond “just an affair” it’s crazy. I’m guessing the book will sell as well as her music.
I don’t know which is more irritating: LeAnn’s patented “aren’t we hilarious” face or Eddie giving that mock knowing glance to paps. They are SUCH a**holes.
Yes, it’s much better to fill your twitter account with pics of yourself drunk and licking the face of any woman who happens to stand beside u. Or, a closeup shot of your cleavage and the necklace your ex-hubby gave u. What about a pic of your broken acrylic nail, or the back of your ass at a lingerie party?
Vesper, I’m not on Twitter, so I wouldn’t know. However, from the links and articles I’ve seen on LeAnn, I think stripping off and making out for your husband’s camera and the paps you hired while your stepsons are inside are about as klassy as it gets. Or strutting around in a thong while everyone else is dressed. Or making out at Eddie’s kids’ soccer games. I’m not on top of everything Brandi does, but LeAnn has made sure her pictures are out there, so it’s kind of easy to know what’s going on with her.
Does this bitch ever have an original thought.
Are we sure that’s her in that donkey picture? Her arms look way to large and it looks like that person almost has hips!
How many fans could she really have? Why not photo copy a few copies, staple them & send them out to her “fans”? That should save her a few hundred thousand. Stupid bitch.
true
Yeah, this.
I think it would be brilliant if both of them wrote a book together. Not together, because the bitchiness would be a big part, but something like a point-counterpoint. A really brave editor could kind of get their thoughts on various parts of the divorce and aftermath, and publish what each of them thinks of it. I would read that book.
That sounds like the plot of a Lifetime movie “Every Story Has Two Sides”.

She is such a litterhead, I can’t even.
Her figure and face look so much better with a little weight back on.
I have zero interest in a LeAnn book. She’s told her story. No need to justify an affair. It rubs me the wrong way. Just move on and live your life and stop talking about it. Time takes care of the stigma (if you have a long marriage. We’ll see). Take a page from Paul Newman and Tom Hanks. They barely mentioned their affairs on their exes by cheating with Joanne Woodward and Rita Wilson, except to say it happened and they weren’t proud and would always have some guilt but loved the person they ended up with too much to give up, and never mentioned it again. No justification or “my side of the story.”
I have no desire to read LeAnn’s book or Brandi’s book. Neither one are interesting enough for me to waste a few hours of my life.
Not only would I not waste the hours, I wouldn’t waste the money. Not putting any money in either of their pockets.
agree with you. and people forget that Newman and Hanks had first wives.
So true and relevant to this thread. I remember reading how Joanne Woodward stalked Newman at his golf outings…actually buried herself in a sand trap once. Joanne even tried to adopt Newman’s former wife’s children even though they weren’t Paul’s.
Yes, Joanne and LeAnn have sooooo much in common.
Wow! Bringing up Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in a way that actually makes sense and is relevant to the current story? Are we allowed to do that?
LMFAO
I don’t think so. I think you are supposed to bring it up on a context completely different than the story. Also, you are supposed to ramble on in 1 long run-on sentence. Those are the rules, please get on board.
Well you know on September 26 1971 Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman were in Monte Carlo having lunch with Grace Kelly and the Pope and Joanne ate Oysters Rockefeller while Paul ate a Waldorf salad and Grace and the Pope ate brisket and everyone drank red wine and after lunch they all went to a bookstore to browse and…
(that’s my impression of our favorite commentator)
I can’t believe Coutney missed that opportunity, she must be kicking herself!
True and well said, but I think at this point it’s the neverending gerbil wheel of stalking, insanity and inappropriate behavior that has turned people off so completely.
Rimes has a lot more to talk about than her marriage. She is a well recognized and successful music artist who, at the age of 29, has been in the business for 17 years.
Don’t make us laugh! Rimes may have been successful when she was 13 but she hasn’t been for many many years. Her last album flopped so bad only a few thousand bought it. And she is reduced to singing at high school halls and cookoffs. She is just a glorified busker, and even they make more than her. She has no singing career left, all she does is stalk Eddie everywhere and lick other women’s tits in front of innocent children.
Well it’s a good thing Eddie has no career to speak of, Leann’s going to need someone to proofread for her.
I can sum up Leann’s book:
-I had the WORST CHILDHOOD EVER. I never learned TOOLS.
-My dad stole all my money. AND cheated on my mom. AND wouldn’t let me hook up with boys on my tour bus when i was 15. he was such a bad man.
-Eddie met me and realized it was true LovE because he never loved Brandi ever not once ever.
-Speedbump is a loving term. really, you don’t know the TRUTH.
-Cheating is ok if it makes you happy. i have no regrets.
-I’m a bonus mom. which is better than a bio mom because you know, some bio moms are criminals.
-Brandi is “fckng vindictive as sh*t” and no one should like her.
-I am Eddie Cibrian’s WIFE. RESPECT THAT BRANDI. I’m a WIFE and even though Eddie has the morals of a slug, I am the “only one that matters”. why? because I am his WIFE.
-I’m a spitfire, buy my album that comes out the same time as this book in a 2 for 1 deal, $9.99 at your local cracker barrell.
LOL….great summation!
LOL! Dying.
That’s awesome! Perhaps you should send her this as an outline!
that is Leanns book, right there!!! LOL
Oh you forgot the
‘We’re just 2 people who stumbled upon each other’
blah blah blah
Blessings Ya’ll!!!!
Awesome comments Samster and Jezi!
EPIC. You win at internets.
$9.99 ????? I know lunch at a Cracker Barrell might run $20 w/tip but $9.99 is more than twice the cost of her last CD in the first week of release.
Whooooa. From LeAnn’s lips directly to your keyboard.
Brandi wrote her book 2 years ago. It isn’t solely about Leann and Eddie. Its a book about her life and surviving divorce. Like she said many times before Leann is a side note. She had no one interested in her book before because she was an unknown. Now people are interested. Leann being the paranoid freak she is has to one up Brandi because she needs everyone to believe her side of the story over Brandi’s. To bad she’s told her story before in many interviews and according to her this crappy new album is her story. So why the need for a damn book? No one cares about an adulterer’s story. Go away Leann! We already know your side, now we want to know the truth! Not your twist on what you think is the truth.
Both of these women should be ashamed of themselves. The need to make a quick buck is never an excuse to cause the children more pain. A book is forever. It is not fair to them.
Why should Brandi be ashamed? She’s writing about her life. She’s not the one who caused her marriage to end. She’s not the one who had an affair. And she did write the book to make money so that she could stand on her own two feet and support her kids. There is nothing wrong with that.
@jezi being cheated on does not make her a living martyr. The children love both of their parents equally and don’t need the dysfunction constantly perpetuated. Yes, ashamed they should all be.
Who said she is a martyr? She wrote her book 2 years ago. Writing is therapeautic and people obviously want to read it. I’m sure her children will know when they are older exactly what went down between them. Better they read it from their own mother than see a bunch of tabloids. If Eddie was so concerned with his children and their well being, well then perhaps he should’ve thought twice about doing what he did. He should be blamed for his actions, not Brandi for writing about her life.
LeAnn is filling those children with lies on a daily basis. Let them know all the facts (which they will no matter the book) and let them decide for themselves about the truth.
Those children need to know as soon as possible what a despicable person LeAnn is.
The truth shall set you free!!! (You can quote me on that but it’s not original)
We are so far away from one another in our thinking that there will never be an agreement. I wish nothing but the best for the kids, as does everyone in any divorce situation. I’m sure that is one thing we can agree on.
Yes, absolutely 🙂
It’s ironic that u mention LeAnn is a “paranoid freak she has to one up Brandi because she needs everyone to believe her side of the story over Brandi…”
Brandi has contacted the writer of this blog and sent so-called “evidence” of her side of the story. Who does that? Brandi has plenty of people she follows on her twitter account who label themselves “Brandi’s Bunch” (BB), many post on this blog and others. Some have pics of Brandi as their main profile pic instead of displaying their own pic. Some list ‘support of Brandi’ (pharaphrased) in their individual description which is supposed to be dedicated to who they are as a person. Talk about a lack of identity.
Who does that? A woman trying to save her children from being stolen by the famous mistress/bonus mom via a pr campaign.
Come on. You do realize that you’ve essentially contradicted yourself? In one breath, well several actually, you are saying that a famous singer is so famous that her proposed book would be awesome based on those accomplishments and stating that the lowly, ex-housewife, and mother has no reason or accomplishments to tout in her book.
So you yourself have made the case that LeAnn wins the battle of who has the most pull. And shown exactly why a lowly, unfamous, ex-housewife, and mother would NEED to offer proof against the famous singer to a gossip site in order to fight back. It’s not like 60 Minutes is reporting on this mess….it is the gossip sites. Brandi took the fight where the story was being played out.
😉
I will tell you who does that, and I’m not a BBer nor on Twitter. Someone who does that is being harassed, stalked, and cyberbullied and has few resources available to her against a celebrity’s money and fame. Someone who feels helpless and in need of support. LeAnn has had people aid her in cyberbullying and there’s physical proof of it. She has attempted to take over Brandi’s children, for heaven’s sake, and as a parent, what I see LeAnn do is beyond overbearing. You don’t help break up a marriage and then attempt to take over someone’s role as parent and consistently refer to yourself as a bonus parent. I’d feel helpless, furious and want support as well. After all, you describe Brandi as a nobody, someone no one should take interest in- she needed help and I’m glad people stepped up and gave her some.
P.S. LeAnn’s producer has written IN PUBLIC about how HE is going to talk to those boys on numerous occasions and get things straight. Ever see LeAnn call him out on it and say, No, this is private? Or, they’re my husband’s kids and he and their mother will handle things? Nope. You don’t take over someone’s kids whether you’re married to their dad or not.
Is that a donkey’s head in the pic or is that LeAnn’s quite subtle way of letting people know that she’s an ass?
which picture, the 2nd or the 3rd-they both look the same..
Leann’s version of paradise is falling apart on her. Once again she had a trip without Ed and, yet again, some kind of health crisis. She cried her way through this last show. She has severe anxiety when Ed isn’t w/her bc she KNOWS what he is up to. He’ll never be the man she tries to portray him to be. It’s comical to watch.
She does fall apart when Eddie is not by her side. She cries makes up these “sickness” in her mind. When Eddie travels with her, the sickness is gone. I will LOL at her, why? Because she deserves it! She is not who she portrays herself to be. The BBs have called her out on her Twitter account, she thought Brandi was going to go away but the support we have given her have taught Leann Rimes a lesson, she messed with the wrong women, the BBs are not done yet.
One thing all guys hate is a whiny needy woman. Drives them bonkers. Fastest way to drive them away. Guaranteed.
OMG. You’re serious? There are actually women who identify themselves as BB’s? What the hell? Do any of you really think that Brandi Glanville OR LeAnn Rimes care one bit about any of you? Seriously don’t waste your energy (negative or positive) on either of these twits. You have loved ones who surely could use the attention you give to these two fame seekers, even if it’s a few minutes a day responding to tweets. If you identify with Brandi because she was cheated on, throw that support to family or friends who have suffered the same. Don’t waste it on someone who would walk right past you if you needed their help. Trust me, it’s hard to admit, but they don’t care about you…not at all.
OMG, you are right. Another show where she has had to travel alone and yet another health crisis. She is completely unreliable. How insecure does someone have to be to fake illnesses because being away from their spouse makes them so filled with anxiety that they can’t do their job? Seriously, the crying was probably anxiety based, not due to toothache. Could she not get some pain killers or an emergency dentist appointment? I had to have an emergency dental procedure while traveling in a foreign country and they got me in that very day. Isn’t she supposed to be a celebrity? If she was in such agony, why was she posing for photos and posting them on her Twitter account? Her book will just be more of her self pitying, narcissistic, sociopathic ramblings that everyone has access to on Twitter. No one believes her lies anymore and a book is just another nail in the coffin that was once her career. Who will write the book forward? That Ericka character who harasses and stalks the ex or will she give Eddie double his allowance to proclaim his “love” for her in writing. LeAnn Rimes is a real piece of work.
Brandi has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. She was happy with her family and her comes LeAnn Rimes who destroyed that family. Plus LeAnn does everything Brandi does. She needs to get her own life & stop trying to be Brandi and for goodness sake ….get some originality.
Sadly for LeAnn and her cash vacuum, Eddie, (and luckily for the rest of us) the confidentiality agreements attached to her divorce and remarriage papers preclude LeAnn from writing such a book. As luck would have it, Brandi refused to sign on to any such agreements so she’s free to tell all. If LeAnn goes ahead anyway, she could very well end up in court, where her ongoing stalking, cyberbullying, and swf would most likely be fully exposed as well as other “habits” she has. With so much documentation and so many witnesses to her many years of acting out, any denials regarding her outrageous behavior — denials while she’s under oath — would certainly land her in jail for contempt. No judge would tolerate her LeAnniness for long. Even Eddie’s dimples won’t save her. And then, if she violates the terms of her own confidentiality agreements, who knows? Maybe Dean will write his own tell-all. Ah … the tales he could tell! What kind of habits would make a person behave in this manner? Only those who’ve lived with her would know.
Dean’s sister is on Twitter, and has made quite a few jabs at Leann. Maybe Dean could ghostwrite a book through her – I’d definitely read that one!
People have called LeAnn a sociopath in the past and I have got to agree that she certainly has the whole “I feel no remorse and will continue to lie and hurt people to benefit myself” thing down pat. I could see her perjuring herself under oath quite easily. She doesn’t seem to have the ability to tell right from wrong. That confidentiality agreement must be a real thorn in her side. As she has a problem with boundaries in general, I can see her trying to get around it somehow. I hope they throw the book at her if she does.
Leann is NO MODEL. unlike Brandi. About time She covered her head while posing.
Whoever gave Leann the Jackass head is one astute genius.
I wonder if she even understands what was just done to her?
Maybe that’s part of the beauty of it!
what on earth is that dress….
i’m being slowly hypnotized to not buy her book.
She would greatly benefit from a regular job with a 40 hour work week. She needs something to occupy her mind besides Ediot and SWFing Brandi. She has completely alienated her ex-fans with her embarrassing behavior and gets the vapors every time her “love” is out of her iphone camera lens.
Why would a grown woman lower herself to follow a cheating man around taking pictures of him on a golf course? Wearing same clothes, shoes, etc, as his ex-wife? Letting him and his friends make an ass out of her by taking humiliating pictures of her face in Brandi’s ex-friend’s chest? She reminds me of this pitiful homely girl in high school who would do anything to be accepted by the popular crowd. They would get her to do humiliating stuff like LR does and laugh and make fun of her and pretend to be her friend. She said everyone was jealous of her because she was friends with these jocks and cheerleaders. It was so mean and sad, but she was only 15 years old. This woman is close to 30.
I used to be a big fan of LR but her behavior is so cringe-worthy I had to delete her from my ipod. I would be so embarrassed if anyone saw her on my playlists. She doesn’t make any good music anymore anyway, and the old stuff was so long ago it’s like it was a sung by a different girl. I wish she would wake up.
Spot on.
She’s not going to change. She was her parents’ meal ticket, and they raised her to believe the hype. She’s an entitled narcissistic twat. It is who she is. Anyone that disagrees with her is jealous. I’m sure her parents said this to her a million times when she was a child/teen. She never grew up. She still believes this stuff.
Now she’s almost 30, and she STILL is only surrounded by people who depend on her money: her writer friend, her stylist, her husband, and ALL her other paid BFFs. Her main “friends” are either paid to be there, or they are starstruck random people on Twitter, that she’s made friends with – none of those people are going to call her out on her psycho selfish behavior.
I agree with you just on the simple fact of the 40 hour a week job. Maybe then she would have a right to complain about “working so hard” when she goes on her monthly vacations. Nothing more insulting than a person who works 4 days straight and whines about how hard it is and how she has to go on a vacation now. She is so removed from reality its embarrassing.
Yes, I’m surprised there was no mention of the concert in which she cried her eyes out and whined the entire time due to a “toothache” Who does that? No other singer does that. No PROFESSIONAL does that. Can you imagine if a surgeon left the OR for a few minutes in order to go cry due to a toothache? Or a lawyer?
She was either A) Upset and anxious because Eddie was not with her. B) Putting on a show in order to convince people she is such a professional, ironicly. Like, “See how much pain I am in? Yet, I didn’t cancel. So imagine how sick I must have been in order to cancel that last concert.” C) Really in that bad of pain. In which case,it’s not normal for someone to be at their healthiest and happiest, like Leann says she is, and yet be that sick with various ailments that often. So she is either 1) Lying about all those ailments or 2) Lying about being that healthy and happy.
D) All of the above.
I didn’t hear about this latest faux drama. Thanks for telling. There’s no excuse she won’t make in order to play the victim. Get off the stage already!!!
I mentioned it 🙂
Baylor I selected b. As soon as I heard the tooth ache story, I thought right away she is trying to convince fans she wouldn’t cancel a concert, unless she had one foot in the grave, like she did when she cancelled the last concert (LOL) I really did LOL when she posted the pics of a Hospital entrance sign, and supposedly heart monitor marks that looked suspiciously high on her upper chest. To me they just screamed “see I’m not lying I really was at the hospital.” Trying too hard to convince.
When she came out with the kidney stone story to cancel another concert I think she was looking for an ailment that would be really painful,but yet something you could feel 100% the next day and someone told her kidney stones. But she is too stupid to know anyone in pain with a kidney stone wouldn’t be tweeting constantly with LOLs
She is such a liar! I don’t have any interest in reading any book she writes. I wouldn’t believe a word she said.
Given all the anguish, the very public rudeness and humiliation LeAnn (& Ediot) have put Dean and Brandi through, that any person with a soul or conscience, would not further torment the victims with a book of lies (her misconstrued “truths”)! LeAnn fans would have you believe LeAnn is only guilty of “routine” (as if) adultery and refuse to see her outright evilness. Yes evil, LeAnn is evil, remorseless and creates a fantasy of lies with sycophants that perpetuate and market to the public such a distorted reality of “truths”.
An evil, cruel, despicable, disgrace to her race woman.
Funny, you took the words of her surrounding herself with sycophants right out of my mouth.
Commenting on one of the prior posts, I’m really surprised to hear that there are “BB’s” who are Brandi worshipers. Nothing should surprise me anymore though
The jackass head seems redundant but then LeAnn does like to make copies.
Really? I happen to think it’s an improvement.
Why bother writing book. Stupid chick tweets everything about herself and family. I honestly cannot see anybody buying anything from this chick. She is a poor excuse for a woman.
Here’s hoping LeAnn uses donkey picture as cover of her book. Along with horsie-hoof boots.
BTW, Leann is denying on twitter that she would ever write such a book. Whatever! I think she put it out there to gauge public reaction and when it wasn’t positive she denies it.
cosign. I think she plants “rumors” (x factor, tell all book) to get attention. Guess Eddie isn’t giving her any.
I’d read it. Now that I know Brandi wrote one, I’ll read that too, because this is all entertainment to me.
I hate to admit it, but I’d totally read it too! I’d love to read her cray-cray delusions, totally entertaining (in a pathetic sort of way). I wouldn’t buy it though, I’d get it from the library.
UGHHH this woman is EVILLL. I know this is kind of off topic but I hate when people trash Brandi and say she is crazy or that “you can’t ruin a marriage that was already in trouble”. I have been seeing comments like that pop up in articles about LeAnn. Even if a marriage is in trouble….END it before you get with someone else!! And if my ex’s new wife blatantly copied my style, stole my old friends, got my children half the time, had her “Friends” on twitter harass me, created fake accounts to harass me herself, etc etc etc I would be a thousand times more cray than Brandi is made out to be. If women who judge Brandi just imagined what it would be like to deal with this psycho b**** you’d think they would realize how much she has held back considering the circumstances. EEERRRGHH okay rant done.
When this whole thing started I knew for a fact (well,”fact” is a relative term in this case) that LeAnn posted comments deriding Brandi (does that mean “not to ride”?) or hired people to do so.
Brandi referred to LeAnn as “over bearing” and Eddie as a douche but beyond that she has said almost nothing. She has been incredible quiet and classy about LeAnn’s continuous public taunting.
I’ve no doubt that LeAnn and her handful of supporters thought the thousands of comments made about her were directly from Brandi or her close inner circle so LeAnn employeed people to slam Brandi. Not once have I read a comment about any good quality in LeAnn…only negative about Brandi which are meant to justify LeAnn’s deplorable mean-spiritedness.
LeAnn simply could not accept that most women in America find her behavior disgusting.
LeAnn, just go away. you are NOT interesting at all, very ugly too, and just disgusting overall. ugh
Is her twitter comment about being 4 months pregnant true? Or just another delusion?
Delusion.
The difference is that Rimes has something interesting to write about. She has been touring since she was 9. At the age of 13 she released her first album which, according to Widipedia, sold four million copies in the US and 8 million copies worldwide. She has received many major industry awards and was the youngest person to win a Country Music Association award. She is also the youngest person to win a Grammy, at 14 years.
She spent her teens on the road touring, and married one of her backup dancers at a very young age. She took her father to court (with her mother’s blessing), for siphoning $ 8 million dollars from her profits. She was forced to fulfil a number of music contracts that her father committed her to without her permission.
She likely knows every major player on the country music scene. She has tried to branch out and focus on other projects including acting. As of 2011, her net worth was just under $ 38 million, and she is “one of the richest female country singers in America.”, according to Net Worth. She has travelled all over the world.
Brandi, on the other hand has done almost nothing with her life. As she herself said, nobody was interested in her book until she got a role on a trashy reality show. Her modelling career seems to be pretty much undocumented. She was with Cibrian for 13 years, and in all those years she did nothing, until the 9th year of the relationship when she had her first child (I believe the oldest boy was 4 years when the marriage broke up?). Apparently, she is known around town as a major drunk. The only reason anyone has even heard of her is due to her vocal catty comments regardingher divorce. Her book will no doubt focus prominently on the divorce.
I’m sure there are many who are not interested in reading about the life of a country music artist, regardless of the details, but who would choose to waste their time reading a book that focusses on the details of a divorce. It’s not like divorce hasn’t been experienced by millions of people.
One last thing, many people on this site make fun of Rimes for playing at country fairs. Do any of u have friends who are into country music? Playing at such fairs is popular in the US, and all the prominant country music artists have done so including Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, Keith Urban, to name just a few. The venues aren’t as low key as one would expect.
Riiight, ’cause I’m sure Leann’s book would be about the ins & outs of country music and not at all mainly focus on her current personal situation. I’m sure she’ll be sure to mention, as you did, that plenty of people get divorced, so whats the harm in breaking up a family if it means you make it up to the kids by taking them on vacation where they can watch you make out with their dad in your bikini. They’ll be OK with it after you explain how much of loser their mom was because all she was was their dad’s Wife & their Mother, and what value is that really?
Shame that Leann is mostly known for being an adulterer and for all her attention seeking. People forget about her singing.
I would much rather have Brandi for a friend. She is honest and puts her children first.
@ Vesper It’s too bad she didn’t live up to that potential. She never found her footing imo,and seems she will be forever remembered as home-wrecking psycho/stalker.
Almost everybody has a sob story of their childhood- including me. But most people accept responsibility for their own actions w/o blaming others & spiraling into a swf’ing pit of abyss.
She is a joke. Period. She squandered her talent for a no-name, cheating dog who has to be kept on a VERY SHORT LEASH, or her co-dependent mess of a self goes crazy. Sad
Vesper, you are so right about the accolades and fame Rimes has achieved in the past. All true and yes, she will always have that and- hopefully, if proper care was taken- an income to enjoy as well. But speaking for myself I can say that her behavior has been so offensive that it’s INTERESTING (admittedly at best) to watch her ruin her reputation. Almost a social experiment- career suicide via Twitter if you will. Cautionary tale..? Regardless if she is truly the better woman here let’s see proof of that from Rimes herself. I would be happy if for no other reason than the sake of the kids. Have a good night anyway 🙂
Brandi is rather slim for “a major drunk,” no? How do you know what she has or has not done with her life? Have you been at her side? Everyone has a story to tell, and I think Brandi’s story might be interesting. That’s also true of LeAnn’s story, although if she writes with the same voice she uses on Twitter, it will be too nauseating to read.
I rarely and to my recollection have NEVER commented on a Leann thread but I can’t allow this comment to pass….your synopsis of Leann’s accomplishments center on a god given gift. She is blessed with a beautiful voice and I think few people will deny this, however her ethics, morality or inner self/demons way overshadow this GIFT. she has selected to show her gratitude by relentlessly pursuing a married man and then persecuting anyone who DARES to call her on her questionable behavior. I have no sympathy for her and she deserves all the backlash she receives as a result. She made her bed now she should lie in it QUIETLY
Vesper, I am genuinely curious. I don’t think you’re LeAnn because your spelling is a million times better and you’re more articulate. Why are you so dedicated to defending LeAnn and running down Brandi? Do you believe that LeAnn has stalked and harassed Brandi? Maybe Brandi isn’t a saint, but she didn’t ask for someone to come and smash her marriage apart and then stalk her, copy her clothing and and photos, and then cyberbully her. She didn’t ask for someone to attempt to take over her role as mother and not even respect that they are Brandi’s children. Doesn’t that evince some sympathy for Brandi and some distaste for LeAnn?
Lol @vesper. At least she has you. Sign up with Twitter and shel make you her newest bff. She tends to do that with her online friends that bash Brandi in support of her on online forums. see how well received she was at the acms? That is her true status in country music right now. Let alone the general public based off her reputation.
Homewrecker!
Vesper! I mean LeAnn. Hi! You know, you have a point about LeAnn’s “interesting” life. If only she would collaborate with a reputable psychiatrist on a book, she’d not only have a bestseller, she’d be co-author of what would surely become a mandatory text in the study of mental illness. Think of the ongoing royalties she’d collect in the decades to come. Buys an awful lot of Don Julio. A narcissist. A pathological liar. A very unstable woman who, sadly, is around two young children.
Does anyone else think its beyond lame that she is always tweeting about her “hot hubby”, or “cute man”? I don’t begrudge any wife bragging on their hubby, but he is definitely her trophy husband. Bought & paid for. She knows she is outta her league w/that man looks wise. It is so pathetic of her to think he is a “prize”. He is nothing but a POON HOUND, cheater, sleazeball that no SANE woman would want.
But to her, he is all that and a bag of chips huh? Delusional. Only a fool would want anything to do with Eddie Cibrian. Leann, NOBODY wants him, he is damaged goods. You are not making any women jealous by being w/Eddie, trust me. Plus, he looks like he has aged HARD in the couple of years he has been w/you. I guess living w/a clusterf*ck of crazy will do that to a man.
She sounds like an obsessed 13 year old with her first crush.
Lmao @ Vesper. Trying so hard to convince people of Leann’s success. Maybe back when she was 13 but most people know of her now as that psycho who wrecked a family. Brandi had no choice but to do what she’s doing and at the end of the day its taken her a couple years to become a success. Had she not have lost out on those 13 years being a stay at home mom who knows where she would have been. From what I see Leann and Eddie have quite the drinking habits so to call Brandi the drunk, well that’s really far off.
I know, right? Eddie’s rarely pictured without a drink in his hand. He couldn’t even get through that chicago-apt-remodeling show without a beer. I mean, tacky. Hello.
13 years a stay at home mom? Her kids are little. Your math is off. Why embellish facts?
Ok, excuse me, let me be more accurate. She modeled until Eddie asked her to quit. So she was a housewife/stay at home mom for about 8 or 10 years. Better? It doesn’t change what I said though Jayna.
just interested to know what section everyone thinks we could find Leann’s book in a bookstore??
non-fiction?
autobiography?
fiction?
horror?
psychology?
Humor?
juvenile fiction?
pets? <— this one gets my vote
or will it just go straight to the bargain bin?
I think the difference between AJ breaking up Pitt/Aniston’s marriage and …well, THIS, is that both Angie and Jennifer were truly sympathetic, and the whole unfortunate thing was handled very well all around. I think even if one of them had fired a shot, the other two (any combination) would have ignored it or worked it out privately.
Mostly I don’t think AJ’s affair was easy for her to accept — she broke her own standards, but she picked herself up and moved on. With Brad, but in a wholly classy way (I’m truly a fan of both AJ and JA.)
And if there’d been kids? Jolie would have joined a tibetan monestary for a year before talking to Brad again. (Heh, maybe just for show, but that’s the point: she keeps a very good public image!)
But this woman… ah geez. Maybe if she tried to mimic Jolie with some goodwill efforts so it seemed like SHE was about more than a love affair, it wouldn’t come off like she desperately needs people to accept that her man really loves her.
She should get some new publicists. (Unless this is the kind of negative energy she’s shooting for.)
The difference is that as we know now, there was no affair, AJ did not break up Pitt/Aniston’s marriage, she came well after. But Rimes did break up her marriage and Brandi’s marriage. One hand there wasn’t an affair, the other hand there was.
AJ/BP fell in love while BP was married – AJ said that herself in an interview. That is, they fucked before BP told his wife it was over. Good God don’t tell me anyone believes they refrained until the divorce!
But the point is, AJ is an interesting person outside of her men, and AJ/BP were clearly well-matched and handled the unfortunate timing very well. (Apparently TOO well, LOL!)
Angelina said their kids can see mom and dad falling in love, getting married, and then, as hired assassins, trying to kill each other. You know, Mr & Mrs Smith? Her quote was about the characters John and Jane Smith, in the MOVIE. It was NOT about her and Brad themselves, but as CHARACTERS in a MOVIE. Neither she, nor Brad, has never at any stage said she fell in love with Brad, the person, on set. This was debunked long ago. However, even if she did, 2 things; 1, falling in love with someone doesn’t mean they love you back or that you act on it (so it does not equate to an automatic affair) and 2, they were still shooting the movie long after Brad and Jen split (incidentally Jen moved on to Vaughn before Brad did to AJ, before the divorce, Brad and Jen were officially separated therefore marriage was over so ‘cheating’ doesn’t come into it). The affair thing was debunked ages ago, by all, including Jen herself. It didn’t happen and was a tabloid hoax.
There’s a lot of stuff out there- Janet Charlton is one source- that says clearly that BP did not cheat on JA while they were married. JA allowed this rumor to grow and grow and never told the truth. I’m not a fan of any of them, so it’s whatever to me. And AJ doesn’t go on and on about what happened, nor does she blatantly stalk and cyberbully JA. LR was never on my radar, nor was EC. I thought the affair disgusting, and their behavior right after in front of his small sons horrendous, if not damaging. But what blew my mind were LR’s actions during and after. Who stalks and cyberbullies your guy’s ex? Who tries to lay claim to everything, including the woman’s sons? If she had shut up, lain low, and controlled her psychotic self (possible?) then she and her purchase- sorry, husband- wouldn’t have the issues they do in the media. This wasn’t and isn’t your affair/breakup/moveon situation, because LEANN can’t move on. As for Vesper, she isn’t LeAnn. She spells properly and is more articulate. It’s a shame who she wastes it on.
Exactly, the situations are so entirely different. One couple (LR and EC) had an affair whilst still playing happy marriages, the other has been confirmed to have not been involved intil months after the legal and filed separation. Unfortunately too many people haven’t caught up with the news and still believe the legendary tabloid hoax which has all but been quashed completely now.
IMO, AJ and BP did it the right way. They clearly had a connection, and waited until separated to get together. Jennifer Aniston knew that, and let the stories go on, so she could play the victim. As it turned out, it looks they were the better match.
LeAnn is so inlove with Brandi it’s pathetic…anybody else agree??… she craves Brandi’s approval so desperately…I can imagine she’s called out BG’s name during her LovE sessions with the Ediot…she’s just bitter she ended up with the wrong spouse……just saying……….
Hi LeAnn/Vesper, still stalking huh??
Give it up, it will help with your delusions.
HOMEWRECKER. Karma will bite you in the ass…
JACKASS
Brandi tweets a cute bikini pic ((pink)) of course Leann has to tweet about rocking an orange bikini.
