LeAnn Rimes says her step-sons “always want me to sing for their class”

This ^^ is a photo LeAnn Rimes tweeted with the message, “Getting ready for the @GMCLA boys”. I had to look it up – GMCLA stands for Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles. I guess she was invited to the awards show or something. And since most of the photo agencies were ignoring the event, LeAnn decided to tweet a photo for us. Because she’s the gift the keeps on giving. Incidentally, I glanced through LeAnn’s Twitter feed, and she’s still bitching about bullying. Yesterday she tweeted, “I love all my fans and friends dearly and it hurts to see any bullying or negativity going on amongst you guys. I’m saddened. All I will say”. So… she’s not playing the victim right now? She says that there’s bullying amongst her fans – fan-on-fan bullying? What does that look like?

LeAnn also has a new interview with a radio station (via Taste of Country). She talked a lot about her music, and how her next album is her last with Curb Records – there’s a lot of subtext in here, I think, especially since her music career is in the toilet right now. But of course, LeAnn pivots to her role as mother. Step-mother. Mother.

More than 15 years into her career, LeAnn Rimes has seemingly come into her own as artist, wife and step-mother of two, striking an important balance between her work and personal life. In an interview with radio station 1130 the Tiger, the Grammy Award-winning singer spoke candidly about the importance of the quality relationships in her life.

“We had our ups and downs for sure,” says Rimes, speaking about her longtime label home, Curb Records. “I always had an open relationship with the head of the label. It’s definitely been a great ride.”

Despite the self-professed functioning business relationship, the singer is quick to divulge that her next studio album is the last contractually-obligated project with the Nashville-based label. With that information in mind, Rimes assures listeners the new album is anything but a rushed project to fulfill a business contract.

“I’m working on a new record … we’re finishing up. I love it,” she confesses. “I’ve written two-thirds of it. It’s super fun and heartbreaking and all the emotions in between. It’s called ‘Spitfire.’”

As she wraps recording in the upcoming summer months, the Texas native will also stay busy traveling the country. Even with her legion of loyal fans, Rimes admits that her favorite place to perform may be a more personal, intimate venue.

The singer spilled that her two young stepsons are fascinated by her career. “I always — at least once a year — have them ask to sing or their class,” she spills. “They want me to sing for their class. It’s fun to be able to do that.”

When she and her husband Eddie Cibrian — who just celebrated their one-year anniversary — are not visiting the local elementary schools, the happy family can be found on the road together. “They come on tour sometimes,” Rimes shares on bringing the kid on tour. “They love the tour bus. It’s like a jungle gym for them.”

But what can fans expect for the string of shows leading up to the release of Rimes’ next project? “We’ve broken things down into an intimate setting,” says the ‘Crazy Women’ singer. “I encourage people to talk to me — open dialogue with my fans.”

“It’s more of a singer-songwriter ‘Storytellers’ situation, where I play stuff off ‘Lady & Gentleman,’ stuff off the new album and some the hits,” says Rimes. “It’s a wide variety of things.”

[Via Taste of Country]

The boys ask her to come and sing to their class? The boys come on tour with her? I won’t get into it. I just provide the quotes. I guess it’s nice that Mason and Jake Cibrian are growing up in a household where their stepmother would do anything for them. Anything involving a bikini and a spotlight.

Incidentally, I received a tip about Eddie Cibrian’s latest acting gig. Did you know he’s still “acting”? He is! He had a guest spot on Rizzoli & Isles, and apparently the fans of the show weren’t into it at all. He played a veteran with PTSD, and he had a thing for Isles. He wants to “sculpt” her. Or something. I didn’t watch it (I hate that show and how the policework and forensics are represented), but you can read a funny summary here. I’m including some rare photos of Eddie solo from Friday. LeAnn let him off the leash for the day! Happy birthday, Eddie.

    For someone who is “scared” of her husband’s first wife’s reactions regarding how close she gets to the kids, LeAnn sure loves to poke the bear.

    Side note, if it were me, being constantly provoked about my own kids’ affection to my ex husband’s new wife, I’d already have snapped.

    Well, he went right back on the leash because DM has pictures of her clinging all over him with her usual mouth wide open pose. She’s a pathetic, delusional nutcase.

      Oh my goodness, I just went and had a look at the DM site. She looks manic – she really should have some dignity. Clinging on to his arm constantly is not a good look. He looks totally disinterested.

      This whole saga is something you know you shouldn’t follow, but it’s all just so awful you can’t tear yourself away. Every day I’m surprised at her antics, and every day she seems to stoop to a new low or a new level of nastiness.

      And P.S. LeAnn, please close your mouth once in a while. I’ve had enough of seeing your tonsils now.

    Seems she’s not listening to her fans: I read her concert reviews over the weekend, and they want her to TALK LESS and SING MORE. So I think the “intimate setting” idea is going to fail.

    I also think she’s got a severe case of diarrhea of the mouth and Twitter. Some people just don’t know when to STFU.

    She’s so full of it, I doubt any of the kids at their school are even familiar with her music, its been yrs since she’s been considered a singer.
    yes, she had a nice voice back in the day but it was never anything that special. You could catch the same style of singing in a karaoke bar.

    The so called “intimate setting’ with her fans might work, if the fans were allowed to ask her about being a SWF,delusional, nutjob. I’m sure that won’t happen, because she will probably set some limits as to which questions can be asked. Does she really still have some fans out there? Or, are they all in her head?

    She probably said to the kids, I am a singer. Wouldn’t it be a lot of fun if I came to your school and sang some songs for you and your friends? At that point, the kids might have said yes. So, then she could say that it was all their idea.

  12. Jezi says:

    Yeah I’m sure they asked her to sing. Just like Jake told her she was pretty *eye roll*. She’s so damn delusional. She inserts herself and then says that they ask her. Kids would rather see a mascot of Elmo sing in their class, not some has been country singer. Now Justin Bieber I would believe. LOL.

    Oh and she wore that blue dress with red heels. Just the same thing Brandi wore on the reunion of RHOBH and that Reality event.

    The fans always want to be her #1 bff. So they fight amongst themselves. She created this mess by befriending her fans on twitter and telling them personal information. Its her own fault that there is animosity there.

    Wow, just looked at her twitter photos. She LovEs posing in the mirror huh? Leann “Nobody loves you more than you love yourself hon”. She really thinks she is a “10″, so tragic.
    Heard her song “Borrowed” on youtube. That’s gotta be the anthem for whores everywhere. She has THE broadest shoulders and NO HIPS AT ALL. Not even a slight curve. Honey, keep wearing a belt at your waist to at least create an illusion

    I don’t know her, but from what I have read about LeAnn, I think she may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is a condition in which people have an inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with themselves. Hopefully, Eddie will catch on and save his sons from her.

    Was flipping through the channels & came upon his R&I episode. It consisted of him dropping trough in front of a mound of clay. I quickly switched the channel. No thank you!

    LeAnn is delusional. She says the boys are always asking, then in the next sentence says it was once a year. Make up your mind!

    Kaiser – did you not use the one that she posted with the new lip injections, done with the ‘highschool photo’ phone app, cause you knew it would give us nightmares for a week? Thank you. Thank you very much. I definitely don’t want to see that one again.

    I don’t see the begging for her to come sing very believable. I do find it believable that she tells the kids that she’s some really famous superstar singer. haha

    As you can see, Eddie is not even looking at the pap’s camera; he could careless. It’s LeAnn who constantly wants to be papped. By now, he’s really got to be tired of all her shenanigans. But since she’s the one with the money, he’ll play along. That’s why he allows anything and everything when it comes to the boys. Safety is non-negotiable. You horrible parent!!

  20. why? says:

    Photos of Eddie out and about LA alone? Why am I not surprised? Leann is on the “I don’t tip off the paps” campaign. Last Thursday, she had x17 release a staged photo-op from last week Monday of her covering her face with her hand(because if you cover your face with your hand while smiling for the paps, that proves that you didn’t call them). Instead of trying to manipulate the public and media, why won’t she just do the right thing and stop tipping off the paps? Many people have pointed out how odd that we hardly see any photos of Eddie alone or ever leaving the house. And then these photos of Eddie alone show up right after Leann pretends to be shy? BTW, are the photos of Eddie alone apart of the staged photo-op of Eddie and Leann that DM did yesterday? So she told the pap to get shots of Eddie alone.

    Knowing that singing at the kids schools was a major disagreement between Brandi and Eddie, why does she continue to bring it up? The boys didn’t ask Leann to sing at their schools. Remember the sidewalk chalk art that Leann did for Eddie’s birthday? Leann claimed that the kids did all the work while she helped them a litte. But when you look at the photo, you see that Leann did all the work and let the kids fill in those spots where she didn’t write. She is telling them that she is going to sing at their schools.

    It’s sad that once again she is using a child to validate her music career and her marriage. Why does she keep talking about the kids in interviews when her husband stated that he didn’t want them to be exposed to any type of public exposure?

    Why does the media keeping on trying to force us to believe that Eddie is hot and sexy? He looks old and drunk and miserable.

    A blue dress with red heels. Why does she continue to SWF Eddie’s ex-wife if her marriage to Eddie is solid?

      You are right! I made the last comment on the post about her crappy cake and I made the comment that we never see Eddie out on his own! And that if the paps were staking out her house, he would be the one they should follow to see where he goes and who he goes to. Then they would really get a big scoop! Now all of a sudden he’s out on his own? Nah! Still staged! Sleaze is so slow and dim-witted that it had to be pointed out to her. SICK!!

  21. why? says:

    So the photos of Eddie alone are of him shopping at Rite Aid. Which is odd because remember when Leann had her publicist say that she has never ever shopped at a Rite Aid in Calabasas(in response to a story about how she was at a Rite Aid in Calabasas looking at pregnancy tests) despite the fact that there were photos of her coming out of a Rite Aid in Calabasas?

    The photos of Eddie out and about LA are definately set up and staged. Eddie is reduced to setting up staged photo-ops in a parking lot of a Rite Aid because being with Leann didn’t make his career take off like he had hoped it would.

    Judging by her record sales and concert attendance, grade-schoolers are the only ones that want to hear her sing….as long as it’s not during recess, kick ball takes presidence.

    “striking an important balance between her work and personal life.”

    “Rimes admits that her favorite place to perform may be a more personal, intimate venue.”

    Those two quotes cracked me up!! First off, she has no balance! She will cancel a gig at the drop of a hat if she thinks Eddie’s going to play hide the sausage with someone, anyone else.

    And the reason she likes smaller venues isn’t preference…it’s because she can’t sell out anything bigger than a back road country bar!

    And as for Eddie being let off the leash…I’m pretty sure Leann was probably hiding behind that Altima in the parking lot watching him :)

      Make note, she also can’t afford to take a full band on the road with her. So she has 2-3 musicians who play “unplugged”. So these “intimate” shows are much cheaper to play and then when she can’t sell more than a couple hundred tickets (including 2 for 1 deals and “free ticket with purchase of…” type promotions).

      She brings her “tour manager” with her as well as her paid companion/makeup artist/hairstylist with her.

      SleazeAnn Slimes is simply just a lounge singer! And all she does is talk too much causing the few audience members to yell out for her to quit talking and sing. As far as singing–no one can understand her as she mumbles! Lots of unhappy people who will not go see her again.
      SleazeAnn, don’t bug the kids. Wait until the TEACHER asks you to come sing.
      The kids will say anything to you just to get you off their backs.

  25. skilo says:

    I’m sure the reality of the situation is Leann is always asking Mason and Jake “Hey how would you like for me to come and sing for your class?”, “Don’t You think it would be fun if I came to sing for your class?”, “I bet you’d like for me to come sing for your class huh?”, “You wanna ask your teacher if I can come sing for your class?”
    What happens is the boys answer “I guess so.”, “Sure.” or “Okay.” so that her crazy ass will shut up about it and or not get mad or pout like her feelings are hurt. And in Leann’s delusional mind that becomes “My stepsons/bonus boys always want me to sing for their class they always ask me, it’s so cute! They love me so much, can’t y’all tell?” “Isn’t it cool how much they love their bonus mom?”
    Shut up psycho, your neediness is showing.

    If she keeps up talking so much, she will lose repeat business. And, yes, you should promote new music and you get tired of old songs, but you have to throw in enough to keep the casual fan happy. This isn’t just LeAnn. I have so many acts I go to, and they are so tired of singing the classics, the same songs year after year, and add in new music, but have to keep it to no more than three, four or five songs at the most, because they realize the audience just isn’t happy when they add more and don’t get to hear more of their favorites. I feel for longtime acts, but it is the way it is, especially when they don’t sell many new albums. Madonna gets away with nine or ten new songs, even on her last album that has only sold so far 1.5 million, but she is a pop act and there’s choreography and such that can enhance songs that people don’t know.

    If this tour has so few older songs, LeAnn is going to see she needs to add more.

    And shut up. I love a little banter from my acts, but just enough to leave me wanting more, not overtalking. People only have usually 90 minutes with the act. They want as many songs as they can get in that period. Even Gaga is getting complaints from overtalking and preaching, but her’s is a two-hour act, not an hour and a half, and lots of dancing, so far different. Plus, she has young gay teens who hang on her every word. But even many Little Monsters have been complaining. But that crowd is far different from LeAnn’s crowd. Be personable and accessible without overdoing it.

    I went to a rock concert, and Night Ranger was the opening act. I wasn’t that familiar with them except Sister Chrisitian. Dear God, the lead singer talked so much my eyes were glazed over. I just wanted to scream, SHUT THE FUCK UP and play some music. Most around me felt that way.

    Ummm, I remember being a kid. If we “always” asked for something it was multiple times a minute/hour/day. Until we were told to knock it off.
    Asking something once a year? That’s more like, “Do we really have to go to the dentist?” Kinda fitting huh? LOL.

      Mommy (and apparently her “bonus” daddy too) love her because she pays them! So how can they not love her???!!! Her dad–who really knows. He tried when she was younger to keep her from making mistakes in her life–ie living with an older man. Even the court ruled she couldn’t do that but mommy and Sleaze ignored the court and daddy. Look where she is now. Would have been better if they had obeyed the court. It sounds like she has been doing WHATEVER with WHOEVER she wanted since she was 15!
