LeAnn Rimes: ‘It’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time’

LeAnn Rimes has given an incredibly exhaustive interview to the Daily Mail, I guess to promote Spitfire, her album which may or may not already be a failure (we’ll see!). You can read the full Mail piece here – trust me when I tell you that it is exhaustive. LeAnn talks about herself, how she feels and how she deals with every self-perpetuating controversy. You’ve heard most of it before, but I guess there are some new quotes in here too.

Her life with Eddie: ‘It’s definitely been a turbulent four years and to say I’ve been on several rollercoasters is an understatement.’

On Spitfire – her first album of original material in five years: ‘And I think the last four years of my life just came out through my music. I don’t think I expected the album to be this honest, but I found that the emotions just came pouring out of me. It was liberating and cathartic to write, but it wasn’t easy.’

On Dean Sheremet: Songs such as What Have I Done (whose lyrics include the line: ‘I broke the sweetest heart of the only man that’s ever loved me’) describe the regret at causing pain to a former love after falling for someone else. ‘And that was the first song I wrote a little over four years ago,’ LeAnn told MailOnline. ‘I actually wrote it about a friend, but it was almost foreseeing things that were going to happen, in a way. I was still with Dean at the time and he heard the song and knew it was about [Eddie and me] before I did. I said to him: “What are you talking about?”, but he was totally right.’

Writing about cheating: ‘Obviously, it was a very controversial topic to write about and as hard as it was for me to write the song, I think it painted a true picture of that situation. I wasn’t being hard on myself when I wrote it – that line about feeling pathetic was just true – but I wanted to describe a very stark moment in my life. You just feel in complete limbo and I felt guilty too; it wasn’t pretty at all. But I made my choices and I’m living with them. I know I’m not the first person to go through it and I won’t be the last.’

On Twitter: ‘I have considered staying off [social media],’ admits LeAnn, ‘but I’ve basically just learned to deal with the criticism. The people who do it hide behind a computer screen and don’t even show themselves and it’s interesting to have people judge you but have no idea about who you really are and what you’re all about. I did stop [tweeting] for a while but then I was like: “Screw this! I don’t want to stop communicating with my real fans”. The block button’s a great thing – if you talk crap to me, I’ll just block you!’

She still says she wasn’t anorexic: ‘People said I was [anorexic], but I didn’t have a problem with eating as I ate a ton all the time – I could eat my husband under the table! But I was going through a time when I just wasn’t sleeping – my mind wouldn’t shut off and my heart was breaking. Now I’m secure about my body, although I’m like any other woman and have my moments of self doubt. But it’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time. I’ll say to him: “I’ve gained a few pounds” and he’ll say: “Good!”. It just gives you another level of confidence. But being in this business, I’ve noticed that image-wise it’s definitely worse for a woman.’

Being a child star: ‘I was always one of those old souls I guess and working and travelling from a young age made me develop way beyond my years in some respects. But in others, I was still a real child. I always had my parents or someone around me so I had a real attachment to people and I always had to have someone around. The stage was where I felt most confident, but in normal life, I felt really out of my element.’

Her 20s were hard: ‘My twenties were hard,’ she admits. ‘They were very rewarding and challenging but I felt like there were two different “me”s out there. I had a lot of anxiety and depression – not just in the last four years but as a part of the whole crazy business I was in and I didn’t want to go through my thirties not feeling like a whole human being.’

She’s not a rebel: ‘This wasn’t a rebellion. I obviously fell in love with Eddie, but it wasn’t done with abandonment at all and it was tough for everyone involved. But growing up the way I did, I don’t think I had the tools to handle it the way I should have done.’

She’s teaching her step-sons manners: ‘I grew up saying: “Yes ma’am” and “No sir”,’ she says of a childhood spent in Mississippi and Texas, ‘but when I say it out here in LA, people think I’m crazy! But it’s good to have manners and I like teaching that to my stepsons too.’

[From The Mail]

God, she’s so self-absorbed, but at this point her narcissism is just funny to me. I don’t know why anyone would ever expect her to learn any life-lesson other than “LeAnn LeAnn LeANN is the most important person!!!” I think my favorite quote is “But it’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time.” Girl… he’s only saying that because he thinks flattery will get him a few nights away from Dong Watch Lockdown. There are thousands of waitresses to bang and so little time.

    Eddie’s certainly earning his keep, isn’t he?

    • Babette says:

      It reminds me of a quote I heard years ago: “The man who marries for money spends the rest of his life earning it”! Eddie isn’t stupid, and I’ll bet he’s getting weary of all the “work” earning that money, lol.

  2. Sweet love says:

    But don’t forget he called you a speed bump, changed his number and allegedly said YOU were unattractive…. BUT that all changed when BG and SM kicked his ass to the curb and he had no where to go…he is with you by default. So of course he will tell you are beautiful …Cheaters are good liars. Ask BG and SM!

    • heidi says:

      Eddie was screwing around on Brandi while telling her everyday how pretty she was too. It’s the stock line of every rake. Eddie hasn’t changed a thing but his address.

  3. RocketMerry says:

    Dear. God.
    I just can’t with this.
    She needs to seriously shut up.

    • karmasabiatch! says:

      Of COURSE Ediot tells you that every day!!

      He needs to keep those paychecks coming. What in the hell else would he say?

      GOD. *snorts in disgust*

  4. Spooks says:

    I feel sorry for her.

    • Kaye says:

      I do too. Self deception must be so exhausting.

    • Chicagogurl says:

      Ok I always love a good LC/BG tet-a-tet, but on this one…I feel sorry for Dean. He spent years virtually alone, away from the spotlight dealing with her, allowing her to be top dog. He knew she was cheating before she did….it’s like she’s giving him credit for knowing her better than she knew herself for sleeping with another man….or is she saying her ex used to think the worst in her? Either way….what a sleaze for continuing to bring up Dean and this topic. He’s remarried and moved on. For Deans sake, for the kids sake, for Brandi’s sake, for Eddie’s sake, for all our sakes — you are not the victim. It’s been four years. Everyone has moved on. Change the topic.

      • brin says:

        Well said!

      • NerdMomma says:

        I’ll never forget that tweet she put up about her “first Easter as a wife” after she married Eddie….as if she had not been a wife for several other Easters before that. Ugh.

      • Patricia C says:

        Don’t feel sorry for Dean anymore. He seems to be in a greater place. He is married to a great woman and has a wonderful food career. I follow his blog as I love to cook and he is pretty spectacular.

      • Mrs. Odie 2 says:

        Notice how we haven’t heard a peep from Dean? She must have given him a huge settlement with a non-disclosure clause. I’ll bet he’s happier than he’s ever been.

    • Itsa Reallyme says:

      I think she must be very, very lonely.

  5. V4Real says:

    LeAnn that’s because you’re paying him to say your beautiful. If he don’t tell you his allowance will be cut off. STFU

  6. epiphany says:

    What she said, “it’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time.”
    What we heard, “it’s nice to have a husband who understands I’m paying for everything.”

  7. Syko says:

    I knew he couldn’t see well out of those squinty eyes.

  8. Diana says:

    Wtf?!

  9. Hope says:

    What a gross human being..never truly showed remorse..just self serving bs..the silver lining…her career is over..she earned that with a little help from karma

  10. Cinnamon says:

    Hasbeen. irrelevant. why are we giving her the time of day. moving on, im sure there are some other late 90s stars that havent had a hit in a decade that people are interested in

  11. Prinny says:

    Broken record!!

  12. brin says:

    LMAO@ “Dong Watch Lockdown”…so true!

  13. Jennifer says:

    More morning laughs thanks to the delusional LR! HA HA HA HA!

    It also always strikes me as funny that she says we don’t know her or what went down. Heck, she was/is the one who is always calling the paps, twittering, giving interviews, writing songs, etc…She’s put her entire personality on display and it is far from pretty.

    Not to mention Brandy’s book which just reinforced what we already knew about LR [selfish, self-absorbed, mean, dishonest, fake, crazy (who can forget that cake with the bed on top??!! Who does that kind of thing??!!)]

    • nomorerimes says:

      I’m with you on the morning laughs. Thanks, LR! Did any of you catch the mantra that LR and her paid minions spew out all the time–“I’m not the first person to go through it and I won’t be the last.” They still think it is all about the affair and can’t get it through their thick heads that as much as we hate the fact that there was a disgusting affair, we are more upset about LR’s actions since she won her prize hosband.

      And her comment that she developed a “real attachment to people and I always had to have someone around” totally explains why she is addicted to twitter. While EC is away (doing who knows what–or who knows who) and her paid friends are away–she has to keep her little fingers just punching away talking to anyone. But then she likes to communicate with her “real” fans. Does she even have any that aren’t paid in some way? When the money goes, so will EC, her few paid friends and then her bio-mom and bonus dad will have to pay their own way.

      • Izzy says:

        And here’s one more:

        “I was always one of those old souls…”

        Bahahahahahahahaha! Really? I had no idea “old souls” could be so immature…

      • Christin says:

        And the references to not having the right tools….Does she mean Craftsman tools, a screwdriver, sledgehammer?

  14. Sweet love says:

    Oh I’m sure Deane told you were beautiful all the time as well. So self absorbed.

  15. Lulu.T.O. says:

    I love how Brandi wears silver flops with rolled up jeans, and then what do we see LeAnn wearing?

    That’s all I got.

    • karmasabiatch! says:

      Was wondering if I was the only one who noticed wewe’s direct steal of Brandi’s silver Havaianas, lol.

      Not just any old flip-flops, but freaking HAVAIANAS!!!!

      SO pathetic! 🙁

  16. SunnySide says:

    And of course she puts in a remark about teaching the boys manners, as if their own mother doesn’t. LeAnn is such a b****! Can’t have a single interview without a dig at Brandi!

    • JenD says:

      She also negates the dad’s parenting, like only Leanne is teaching them manners. Poor Leanne, raising those two kids on her own.

    • Chicagogurl says:

      What do you want to bet that when eddie cheats on her, she plays up the….i miss those kids card…but never even tries to maintain a relationship with them?

    • CreamSoda says:

      Teaching them manners, good grief. Someone needs to teach her grammar. This is picky, I know, but the song lyric she quoted about her ex-husband should be written with who versus that. You’re talking about a person Leann, not a thing.

    • Theskinny says:

      Bragging about being a wife for the FIRST TIME with Ed. Bragging about how her BODY couldn’t let her stop cheating with a married man. Showing up in pictures in Brandi’s clothes with Brandi’s children on the arm of Brandi’s ex husband (and looking a million times WORSE than Brandi). WHAT IN THE HELL does THIS TRICK know about MANNERS??? ROFL Save it hillbilly.

  17. original kay says:

    The manners comment really bothers me.

    she cheats, and then has the audacity to say that she is teaching those kids what manners are?

    <>

    • brin says:

      Well she can’t teach them about morals, she doesn’t have any.

    • Sloane Wyatt says:

      As a stepmom with a great relationship with Boy’ mom, I took a back seat in parenting because he already had two fine parents. I did however teach him little things like how to load a dishwasher and sending thank you notes. It was a way to contribute to a fine young man’s life, and I can’t fault LeAnn for feeling good about something positive in the midst of her mess.

      I’m giving the benefit of the doubt on this one.

  18. lem says:

    the whole “teaching my step-sons manners” is a slam at brandi. like she isn’t raising the boys to be well-mannered, so LR has to. gah i can’t with this bish.

  19. Cam S says:

    Actually Leann, yes it is nice when my husband tells me I’m pretty. And I don’t have to pay mine to say it either,- or post about it ad nauseum to make his ex wife jelly. “So there”.

    Someone on twitter just tweeted to pray for Leann’s Stepmom as she is having surgery. Not a peep from Rimes though, yet. No “Bonus Mom” love Le?

    • Amory says:

      And I bet you didn’t have to butcher your body and face in order for him to like your look… That’s what gets me with this woman – she looks like a circus freak all in the interest of keeping her loser of a man.

  20. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    If anyone else had said what she said about having a husband who tells her she is beautiful, I’d think it was sweet. But Leann? It’s the line of a wishful thinking dream weaver.

    • ya says:

      I think it’s because she overshared so much in the past – and even perhaps now on twitter – and her insecurity has leaked through. All the attention about her becomes about her personal life no matter what she says about it, and everything she says gets interpreted in a negative way partly because people see her insecurity.

      I don’t really think this interview is any different than what most singers give to promote an album – in terms of how she talks about her personal life – but considering the past, it might be better for her to just answer any question about her personal life with no comment, and let things blow over.

      She should take a lesson from Britney and David Bowie’s last album – that cultivating some mystery creates appeal.

    • Jules says:

      I think she said it to stick it to Brandi because Brandi has mentioned how unattractive LeAnn is before–like how she couldn’t believe Eddie left her for someone who looks like THAT. Brandi KNEW that was just about the most hurtful thing she could say to a very insecure, fragile and potentially anorexic woman and it would eat away at her forever. And I see she was right. She KNOWS the weak spots. If LeAnn wasn’t the other woman I would say it was beyond cruel to play on her insecurities like that but seeing as she IS the other woman who commandeered Brandi’s family, I kind of admire Brandi’s strategy.

  21. TG says:

    I only ever hear Leanne talking about those boys never the real parents. This she-man is so delusional. I don’t know brandy but I feel bad for any mother and her kids having to deal with this ugly being. I wonder why she can’t sue for full custody

    • Girlattorney says:

      Because in LA family court Dad basically has to be a p*mp, a drug addict, or in jail to lose joint custody. As much as I can’t stand Eddie, I’ve seen far worse fathers get to keep joint custody (which conveniently reduces or eliminates their child support obligations) in that jurisdiction, at least until the kid finally gets hurt or so neglected that it can no longer be ignored.

  22. Deanne says:

    Honestly,just when I think she’s reached the pinnacle of the self absorption ladder, she goes and tops herself again. I’ve seen some self absorbed people in my life, but LeAnn takes the cake. She quite literally makes everything about herself, regardless of the situation. I usually don’t like to comment on the looks of others, especially women, but in her case I’ll say it. She is so horribly unattractive now. She just exudes ugliness in every way. I never thought that before. Her personality and behavior has made her so repulsive to me. Of course Eddie says she’s beautiful. He loves her money and is a proven liar. He lies and lies and lies, just like she does. If kids weren’t involved, they’d be the perfect couple.

  23. Apple says:

    According to reports Eddie is burning through her money and she isn’t bringing any money in with touring and I think we can call agree that CD is going to flop.

    I wonder how beautiful you will be when your financial manager tell you the coffers are empty?

    Oh and do please have a child by Eddie so when he leaves you for the next pot of gold with bolt ons. You will know how Brandi feels when someone else says they are mom to ‘YOUR’ kid.

    • Stuart Horsely says:

      Priceless!!

    • Jayna says:

      “According to reports.” LOL Just like he was caught out with a woman and photos were imminent and it was a hoax. Personally, LeAnn is the one spending all the money, new clothes to impress the tabloids copying Brandi. What does he do but play some golf, go to Mexico, and sit around in jeans drinking beer. She is working this year. It looks like 30 something tour dates set so far or some already done. She has to now with her “casa.” LOL

    • ya says:

      I dunno – I doubt this…. Even Lauryn Hill was making close to a million dollars a year recently while doing nothing. And Lauryn Hill only had one hugely selling album in the late ’90s + fugees royalties. Of course that led to her tax scandal but still. LR is likely making money – if only through interests and investments.

  24. Quinn Parker says:

    It would be even nicer if he meant it!

  25. Nev says:

    nahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    something is wrong here.

  26. Isa says:

    Yea and its nice to have one that does so without pay!

  27. Samigirl says:

    I agree, it IS nice. It’s even more nice to have a husband that means it.

    • tifzlan says:

      EXACTLY what i was going to comment when i clicked on this story!

    • RHONYC says:

      “But it’s nice to have a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time.”

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      i agree. it is nice…my man tells me the same thing only when he says it to me, he isn’t straight lying through his teeth. 😳

      • Samigirl says:

        Mine does sometimes. “Yes sweetie, I know you just ran a Mud 10K. But you STILL look beautiful. All sweaty and muddy and with dry dirt all over your face and under your nails. You’re beautiful.”

        Placating sonofa… 😉

  28. OK says:

    She’s only saying that because Brandi said the same thing on RHOBH when she had a sit down with that waitress that Ediot cheated with.

    She is so f’n dumb.

    • Californiadreamz says:

      That was my first thought, as well. She’s so obvious with her copying, and it’s just creepy.

  29. Relli says:

    Seriously you could just copy & paste from ine interview to the next. She really thinks she is more interesting than she really is.

  30. lucy2 says:

    She is really messed up. Trying so hard to prove how great her life is with all her stupid photos, but clearly a disaster on the inside.

  31. JL says:

    She pays, he says….. simple as that.

    Yeah and just keep in mind you were “beautiful” while he was married to someone else. Wait your turn, it’s coming.

  32. logan says:

    Oh Sweet Jesus, why doesn’t this woman do something productive with her life. Work in a homeless shelter, help with ill children, help rebuild destroyed homes? Oh, all the while wearing a bikini and making sure the paparazzi are there to photograph it. She either has a severe mental problem or takes way too many drugs. Or maybe a combo of both.

  33. Baylor says:

    Oh honey, he told Brandi the same thing everyday. If that doesn’t show you that nothing ever changed what wil…

  34. truthful says:

    same old broken scratched record, mememememememe.

    I wish she’d shut up!

    I have not heard anything from her CD, smdh. I see she glossed over the “twitter” part, LOL

    she’s “teaching her stepsons manners”
    spare me.

  35. DreamyK says:

    I’m sure Brandi thought it was nice, too. Especially since she wasn’t footing the bills for everything.

    Good lord LR is pathetic. Manners my Aunt Fanny.

  36. Teresa__Maria says:

    This whole mess with LeAnn has got to the point where I can only feel sorry for her. To be so wrapped up in her own disillusions must end pretty badly. Jake and Mason are no babies any more and they will soon set her straight. Bonus Mom or not

  37. BeachBelle says:

    This woman gets more pathetic and disliked by the day. She is just repulsive. Keep on talking and keep on tweeting, LeAnn, and you will be lucky to get a singing gig at a truck stop.

  38. jules says:

    “Oh honey, he told Brandi the same thing everyday. If that doesn’t show you that nothing ever changed what wil… ”

    Of course with Brandi it was true…

  39. Miffy says:

    You know what’s good manners? Not attempting to ram etiquette coaching down the throats of two children whose family you helped dissolve all the while bashing the single most important figure in a child’s life, their ACTUAL mother.

    Bonus mom my arse. You’re nothing more than their dad’s pay cheque til he finds something better.

    Argh, that was more snark than she’s worth but my goodness what an infuriating, deluded little homewrecker.

  40. Dana says:

    And of course Leann believes everything Eddie tells her because he is and has always been such an honest, devoted husband. Yep yep, keep on with your delusional thoughts Leann. He told Brandi she was pretty all the time also. It’s who he is, remember?

  41. Christin says:

    Look how many times she uses “I”. So predictable. I do find humor in how she uses her few years in the South as the basis for having some good manners to teach. As if no other region has them…

    • SouthernGal says:

      Born and raised in Texas. Still live in Texas and I can assure you she is disowned. She doesn’t represent the SOUTH AT ALL. Pure TRASH!!! Hollywood can keep her fugly ass.

      • Christin says:

        I don’t think Tennessee is fond of her, either. I am from the south, too, and I cringe when she brings it up. It seems rude to imply no other region has polite manners.

    • JL says:

      Manners;

      Might I suggest Honey child that you start off with, don’t sleep with another woman’s husband because that is just rude, and makes you look trashy!

      Also Sugar-muffin, don’t claim what’s not yours. That is just desperate and insulting to the actual mother and yourself.

      Now, Bless your Heart, girl you are fugly. Fugly girls really need manners and charm to get by. So don’t be insulting those who have what you want.

      Just tie a pork chop around your neck and hope a decent dog wants to play.

      Oh and Sissy; Tricks are for Kids, Comics for tween boys and bangs for little girls. Honey act your age, trying too hard is inherently failing.

      P.S. Every lady knows: EVERYTHING isn’t for everybody. So quit putting it out there.

      Bless her ignorant little Fugly heart.

      And that ladies is your manners lesson for the day from the original deep south Diva – think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” which is my neck of the woods.

      Ya’ll be good now, or at least don’t get caught!

      • SouthernGal says:

        LMAO @ JL. I love to say Sweetie, sugar, honey child, darling, bless your heart, and dumpling. True SouthernGAL!!!!

      • Miffy says:

        Wow!!! I read that whole thing in my grandmother’s voice, amazing (especially given we’re from North-West Ireland). But spot on.

      • Green is Good says:

        I love it!

  42. The Original Mia says:

    Aww…that’s so sweet. She pays for his lifestyle and everything and he tells her she’s beautiful. What a lovely sentiment. Payment for praise.

  43. Sway says:

    And MY favorite quote is: “I could eat my husband under the table!” I bet she said that on purpose.

  44. Jayna says:

    Bull. Can I just say I was once painfully thin, not once but twice. My nerves were shot, so there is that part where I think your metabolism is burning faster then from all that anxiety. I will give her that. But I also didn’t eat much because I didn’t think about food. I wasn’t starving myself, but I was eating a lot less, because, one, my mother was battling terminal cancer, and, the second time, I was facing a life-changing decision and filled with anxiety. Food just wasn’t on my mind.

    So for her to say she was eating a ton when all that weight poured off is so delusional and idiotic.

    She’s so nutty.

    • SouthernGal says:

      She may have been eating a ton but swallowed a handful of laxatives after every meal. I just can’t with her anymore. She actually believes herself and thinks everyone else is DUMB.

    • Apsutter says:

      Agreed. Especially because she does not have the bodytype where she can eat anything she wants and stay skinny. She was clearly not eating enough and probably over-exercising. She gains weight very quickly too. As soon as that whole laxative scandal happened she was at least 5-10 lbs heavier within weeks.

  45. Stuart Horsely says:

    I am SO loving how Brandi is keeping quiet about all this while Leanne runs her mouth off, loving it!!

  46. NerdMomma says:

    You know, I was infuriated by her song lyrics the first time I read about them. Now, I’m not defending Leann by any means, but I just thought about all of the song lyrics about pimpin’ hos and those brag-songs about how much money the artist has, etc. and I realized I was holding Leann to too high of a standard, I guess. I mean, her lyrics are disrespectful and hurtful, and so are a lot of lyrics.

    No biggie, her album will tank.

    • ya says:

      I’m looking forward to the album b/c I like old-style country music – and country music is built on cheating songs after all.

      Actually it’s nice that she’s bringing some tabloid trash back into country – shades of Tanya Tucker.

      • Christin says:

        Tanya had her first hit at 13 and had her share of tabloid headlines. Yet she’s had songs / albums in the top 50 country charts for FOUR CONSISTENT DECADES. And I think she was quoted in the mid-90s as advising a certain other country “sweetheart” to finish her schooling, as it would help in business and other facets of life. Tanya remains likeable and can sell records. She can admit she made mistakes. She doesn’t seem a braggart.

      • ya says:

        Tanya was consistently lambasted by the press for a lot of her life + was also shunned by conservatives in Nashville for some time(I love Tanya). And after a quick google, I notice that LR has had top 50 tracks and albums on US country charts in three straight decades now (’90s, 2000s and 2010s).

        Tanya’s had her ups and downs and owned them – hopefully LR can do the same.

    Bless her ignorant little Fugly heart.

    And that ladies is your manners lesson for the day from the original deep south Diva – think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” which is my neck of the woods.

    Ya’ll be good now, or at least don’t get caught!

  48. Elceibeno says:

    Wow, LeAnn is really under Eddie’s spell. He must be doing something really right. He could write a book about charming women.

  49. Apsutter says:

    Please!!! She’s one of those chicks who CONSTANTLY asks for reassurances from everyone. “Tell me I’m pretty, honey”. Or the one who is constantly disparaging her looks with her friends by saying “I wish I was pretty.” I HATE when people fish for compliments and I guarantee she does.

  50. skuddles says:

    Well of course he does. The way to MeAnn’s bank account.. whoops! I mean heart, is to tell her she’s beautiful all the time.

  51. littlestar says:

    “What Have I Done” is actually a really really good song. It’s unfortunate that Leann is hell bent on destroying her career, because she seems to write some decent songs. If she could just ditch Eddiot and focus on her career and not her Twitter feuds, she could probably have some semblance of a career again.

    • SouthernGal says:

      Agree regarding the song… as far as her career she’s pissed off too many women now. Between the affair and this bonus shit girlfriend will need a decade and a prayer to rebuild her career.

    • heidi says:

      The album is doing well in the European charts.

    • OK says:

      I agree, she has a great voice. She should have gotten off twitter and being inappropriate with regards to the affair and Brandi’s children. She ruined her career by gloating about her cheating. Her album may have done better if she would have just sung about the “love” she has for Ediot and never talked about or mentioned the cheating. Her voice is great in Borrowed but the lyrics are ugly.

      But that just goes to show that she has the mentality of a 13 yr old and has always gotten away with her bad behavior. The fact that she cannot comprehend why people don’t like her is crazy.

    • ya says:

      I know – she needs to cancel her twitter account and stop answering any questions about her personal life.

  52. nomorerimes says:

    I hope LR is reading about the stalker Hugh Jackman had trouble with. She went to his daughter’s school. Maybe this will enforce to LR why she should never tell paps where Brandi and Ed’s kids are going to be and keep them out of the spotlight. I don’t remember seeing Hugh’s kids in the pap spreads but LR puts those precious boys out there all the time. Seems pretty dangerous to me. But she probably doesn’t get it–and as long as money is coming in, she doesn’t care!

    • candigirl says:

      Leann Rimes is a full time stalker of Brandi so paying others to stalk the boys comes naturally.
      Leann likes stalking, she lives for it and I think it’s this addiction and the social media addiction that is killing her career. Leann wakes up every day and thinks “What is Brandi doing today? Where is she appearing? What is she wearing, doing, buying? Where is she shopping, working out, getting her hair styled, going to the dentist, getting botox, dining out, going on vacation. What is she reading, watching, photographing, tweeting about?
      Then Leann copies this exact lifestyle.
      So parading Brandi’s boys around and having this step parent tie to Brandi is very important to Leann, she must show it off, and make money off of it.
      The boys are props in her delusional world, if they got hurt or threatened by a stalker, it would just create more drama and attention for Leann. She would be thrilled to have it generating a whole cycle of tweeting and tabloid appearances. She’s a narcissist, everything is about her.

  53. Palermo says:

    Your bank account is beautiful …

  54. Lexi says:

    Its sad how delusional she is!!!

  55. Jessica says:

    I’m calling shenanigans – there’s no way the lyrics to What Have I Done is about a friend. Really, a friend? Boy she thinks we’re dumb.

  56. Rita says:

    Her comment about “What Have I Done” being a song written about a friend years before, says a lot. It’s pure LeAnn Rimes.

    “Suddenly, I realized the song, as is everything in my life, is actually a premonition from God. It’s all starting to fit. God gives the blessed one (aka ME!) insight into the future and gifts (Eddie, unwrapped) when I follow as well as carry out his wishes, God’s not Eddie’s.”

    “If only Gwyenth (Paltrow) could see the humor in the light of her peasentry when she stands in my shadow…..rinse and spit this honey.”

  57. Vanessa says:

    Leann just keeps dig herself into a bigger hole the more she talks the more people realize how crazy and obsession she is with Brandi and her boys . The interview was supposed to be about her music but being Leann she can’t help but say something Brandi and Eddie boys its like this whole mess is the highlight of her life that all she cares about and that all she ever talks about . The sad part of this is Leanne has talent she can sing but she not likeable she just doesn’t get it its not the affair it’s the way she handle everything after the exploited of two small boys the way her and her minions harrasses and bully Brandi for years and still do to this today . Leann has no compassion or remorse for what she actually has done she not sorry she only wants to appear sorry so people will buy her records

  58. Blue Jean says:

    Wonder if Leanne or Beiber would come out the winner on who is the most self indulgent ego?

  59. fabgrrl says:

    I think she simply misheard. Everyday, Eddie says, “You’re so beautiful, money!”

  60. april says:

    I just read in the Dec. issue of the magazine “Psychology Today” about how a face can reveal a cheater. If you are a woman with lots of estrogen you most likely will be beautiful with a small chin, arched eyebrows, no facial hair, and may be prone to cheating because you have high estrogen levels.

    Likewise, if a man is dark, strong jaw, high cheek bones (Eddie Cibrian), he has tons of testosterone which can make him unfaithful.

    It was very interesting and the fact that I know two extremely good-looking men who fit that description have cheated on their wives. Eddie fits this description as well as Jon Hamm. I’m not saying that Jon Hamm is a cheater, just that his face reveals he has a lot of testosterone.

    The article’s conclusion was is it nature or nuture that leads to the cheating? Do people with high hormone levels find it difficult not to cheat because of their hormones, or do they cheat because they are conditioned that they are desirable because of their beauty?

    • Nev says:

      It’s very simple.
      If you feel in your heart or intuition that you are going to or have a inclination that your gonna be unfaithful DONT enter into a relationship or marriage that involves any hint or expectation or promise of monogamy.

      • april says:

        Nev – I totally agree with you. I think maybe that’s why Jon Hamm hasn’t tied the knot. George Clooney has the face of lots of testosterone and is smart to not commit.

  61. Leslie says:

    “The lady doth protest too much, me thinks.”

    When a husband/wife/couple spends 99% of their time talking about how great their relationship is…how great he/she is…that’s a red flag that all is not well. Same with her body/eating issues.

    “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”

  62. Helvetica says:

    She will NOT shut up about it and then wonders why people keep talking about it.

    Whatever.

  63. Christo says:

    Proof yet again that she married a liar.

  64. dee says:

    the thing that gets me the most is that she called herself an old soul. seriously? who says that about themselves? i mean, it is usually said about other people, right?

  65. TheTruthHurts says:

    Oh that Eddie! He’s certainly good at what he does…earning his keep.

  66. Isabell says:

    People don’t think you’re crazy when you say yes sir or yes ma’am in LA. Its assumed you’re from the South or the military. Find it funny she believes manners are saying certain code words. Real southern manners means you don’t publicized your dirty laundry every second of the day and constantly Twitter nonsense.

  67. Dimebox says:

    LeAnn says “I obviously fell in love with Eddie, but it was not done with abandonment at all…” No, that’s right. It was done with total intent to break up a marriage and family. She brags that she is needed to teach manners to the children whose family she tore apart. And yet she uses those same children for photo ops while dressing outrageously and exposing them to embarrassment and unnecessary exposure. Maybe when she learns some manners she can teach some. Until then I really wish she would pretend to have some and just hush for a while.

  68. mimi says:

    Eddie will be with her and compliment her until her money runs out

  69. DGO says:

    Excuse me, LeAnn, but I’m pretty sure it’s bad manners to sleep with someone else’s husband. Ma’am.

  70. Mia says:

    Trust and believe he’s the only one telling LeHorse she’s beautiful. Along with the other employees oops “friends” she thinks she has genuine relationships with. If he said it sincerely, his judgement and eyesight were being clouded by the new mansion and all those vacations he’s taking from not supporting his children and screwing women who’s faces he doesn’t have to cover with a feed bag. Considering how many chicks he had on the side during his last marriage, cheating on LeMann the fugly anorexic headcase must be like a full time job for his manwhore self.

  71. Rita says:

    I realize LeAnn’s boiling cup of hypocricy runneth over for many years now, but heres a little more.

    Apparently, LeAnn’s step-mom, aka bonus mom (Her fathers wife), is in the hospital having her kidneys removed today and yet from LeAnn there is no asking for prayers, comforting her father in Nashville, or acknowledgment of any kind. I suppose we should give her credit for not milking it for her own sympathy.

    I think she probably completely forgot about it or never bothered to be aware of it….given her exhaustive schedule.

  72. Carolyn says:

    Who would have thought (at the time) that the kid yodelling “Blue” (oooh ooh ooh) would turn into this?

    I feel sorry for her that she’s created this mess and has to keep it going for the sake of PR image and sanity. Has it been worth it? To wake up every day and worry if Eddie is still around, to work out what social media spots she needs to put out there so she doesn’t get forgotten. She must be mentally exhausted.

  73. Potato_Chip says:

    What Lele really meant to say: ‘It’s nice to have a husband who tells you that you’re beautiful as long as you have a bag over your head all the time.’

    • BeachBelle says:

      I’m pretty convinced Eddie is MIA most of time LeAnn is trying to make everyone think he’s around. I’m not buying at all her constant almost hourly confirmation of her happiness and blissful life with her wonderful hubby. I think she sits in her house alone most of the time bored with nothing to do but tweet.

  74. LAK says:

    I must be seeing things. She gave an interview to E last december in which she said she loved that the boys were mini mes of Eddie but whilst i see Eddie in them, i see alot of Brandi too which is getting stronger every month. Since she she is obsessed with Brandi, what will happen to the boys when they morph fully into mini Brandis???

    • Ming says:

      Imagine if the boys were two little girls…I’m willing to bet my life leann wouldn’t be all about Jackie and Melanie.
      The boys are just pawns for her to manipulate. We saw it with jakes bday party and her ridiculous tweets.

  75. Jane says:

    I find it exceedingly hard to believe the Eddie compliments her. Leann makes all this up to feed her ego. Don’t you recall that she posted a Tweet years ago that supposedly little Jake jumped into bed with her and asked, “Why are you so pretty?” Leann writes this cr@p in the hopes that people will be jealous of her.

  76. Laurie says:

    I distinctly remember watching a young and adorable Lee Ann Rimes on Star Search singing Blue. But now…good grief. She has problems. Like MAJOR insecurity issues that she projects onto everyone (her husband’s ex-wife, his kids, her Twitter followers, etc…). It is sad really.

  77. Sapphire says:

    Meann posted a hilarious tweet that her mom and sat with her all day-for why? And is Eddiot MIA?

    • Jane says:

      Perhaps she’s trying to garner sympathy because her CD didn’t set the world on fire as expected in her deranged mind.

  78. Jane says:

    Also, Brandi posted that HER mother is over at the house helping her move. Leann is just doing her SWFing ritual.

  79. Ming says:

    I call bullshit. Yes, she maybe lost weight from not sleeping well, but she was not eating anybody under the table. Anxiety takes away your appetite.
    The manners comment is a passive aggressive dig at brandi…typical leann.
    I think leann must freak the f out when left alone, her brain must spin in a thousand circles knowing Eddie cheats like he breathes.

  80. devilish says:

    “…people judge you but have no idea about who you really are and what you’re all about”. Ummm Leanne, you show us all who you are and what you’re about by your words and actions on a daily basis.

  81. Rita says:

    I think LeAnn just blocked her automatic twitter astrology feed because it said, “Avoid being petty today”, more Virgo.

    • Jane says:

      Question is: Does Leann have a sufficient enough vocabulary to even know what “petty” means? She certainly lacks social skills and is petty a great deal of time. It’s possible that she does not know that the two correlate.

  82. Cinderella says:

    So that’s why Eddie boozes up. Beer goggles!

  83. Christin says:

    I’m halfway through Brandi’s book, and don’t get the appeal of the dimpled d-lister. I doubt he’s changed, and I think that’s a miserable way to live, even if just half of it is true. I wouldn’t believe a word a guy like this says.

    • Mrs. Odie 2 says:

      I read Brandi’s book. I was disappointed. Still, it was a big win for her because she basically wrote the book to let Leann know that she and Eddie continued to have sex all through his affair with LR, including AFTER he left Brandi for LR, AND that he told Brandi on numerous occasions he thought LR was ugly and made fun of her. I believe that LR saw some early edition of the book and that’s why she went to “rehab” for “anxiety.”

      • Apsutter says:

        LR already knew he said she was ugly. Brandi saved voicemail messages from Eddie begging to come back home & bashing Le and Brandi sent them to her when she started acting like a crazy stalker.

      • Christin says:

        The part about his disappearing acts and having his mother pay his / their bills amazed me. If he still (allegedly) has bills redirected or pulls any of that showering before gym / frequent absence stuff as Brandi described, that may have raised red flags galore for the current wife. It would be interesting to know when she first saw a copy of that book.

  84. sarah says:

    weird, brandi said on an episode of RHOBH that eddie used to tell her she was pretty every day! anyone remember how that worked out for her?

  85. This woman is so unattractive and self-absorbed. A 5 at best. Shut your trap LeAnn Rimes.

  86. Dee Cee says:

    Reverse psychology can also prey on a person’s ego, as when it is used, it can make the target feel incompetent; effectively persuading the person to perform the desired action. When this psychology is used in limit it is going to give best results. But when used invariably its going to be a very bad hit on the potential of the child/individual. Whenever this psychology is used the brain triggers on the questioning of the opponent and forces and believes that it has the individual to work on the act. The main reason is there will be a minor hit on the ego of the individual.

  87. madchen says:

    It’s sad to need a husband who tells you you’re beautiful all the time.

  88. OK says:

    Ediot will file for divorce in November of this year when the movie he is in primers. He is currently filming The Best Man 2. He will be walking the carpet alone and he will make the rounds to talk about the movie and his divorce and thus “re-inventing” his acting career. There is no way he’s going to let her try to make his movie about her.

  89. Leslie says:

    Most women in a “normal” relationship refer to their husbands by name. Why does LeAnn always say “my husband” did this or “my husband” did that? Does she ever call him Ed or Eddie? We once had a friend who always referred to his wife as “my wife” even though we all knew her by name. Needless to say, they are no longer together.

    • Jennifer12 says:

      In case someone misses the point that she possesses him and is (in her mind) in control. PSYCHO.

    • Jane says:

      She probably says “My husband” to try and rub Brandi the wrong way. It is Leann’s way of saying, “Look at my. I have YOUR husband now”. She hates Brandi and will do anything to get a rise out of her. This is why she uses “catch-phrases all the time: Bonus Mom, Bonus Boys, Husband, My love. etc.” She is a poor excuse for a human being.

  90. Gee gee says:

    Why?
