I love this cover! I hope more tabloids run breakup/divorce covers for LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. I know that in some strange way, LeAnn will just love the attention, but I still love the cover. For what it’s worth, Gossip Cop already shot down this cover story. GC spoke to Eddie’s rep, who told GC that the story is “ridiculous” and a “joke” and that Eddie and LeAnn just got back from a vacation together (a vacay in which LeAnn was drunk-tweeting incessantly). But don’t let me rain on this gossip parade, because some of the quotes from Star’s story are just magnificent! Some highlights:
*A source claims: “They’ve only been married for two and a half years, but she’s been driving him to distraction with her psycho behavior almost from the moment they first hooked up. It’s been getting continuously worse since they made it official, and Eddie can’t take it anymore. He’s at the end of his rope.”
*DUN DUN DUN: “Being married to LeAnn is the worst mistake he’s ever made and this past year in particular has been a nightmare. He wants out,” claims a source.
*Allegedly, Eddie and Brandi Glanville are on “good terms” again and “He calls and texts her regularly, especially when he’s had a bad day with LeAnn. Brandi’s always happy to let him unburden himself to her.”
*Star claims Eddie is waiting until they finish filming their VH1 reality show and that’s when he’ll dump LeAnn for good. A source tells Star that “LeAnn had been increasingly bossy on the set of the reality series, pushing Eddie to the edge… She yells at him and makes him do take after take, then he reminds her that he’s the actor, not her. It’s just so embarrassing.”
*LeAnn loves to troll Brandi on Twitter: “LeAnn goes out of her way to torment Brandi, like when she tweets about Brandi’s sons (Mason and Jake) and call them ‘her boys’. LeAnn also refers to Brandi as ‘the drunk who sleeps around’ when she and Eddie are with friends.”
*Star insinuated that LeAnn has a drinking problem, and a source says she starts “drinking early in the day and into the evening” and then she picks fights with Eddie about his (gulp) wandering dong: “That often leads to fights between them in the middle of the night, when she accuses him of being unfaithful and disloyal while Eddie tries desperately to calm her down and make her see reason… On more than one occasion, LeAnn has even locked herself in the closet after drinking, telling Eddie that she wants to be left alone.”
*And if and when Eddie files for divorce, he’s going after her money: “If LeAnn makes things ugly for him, he’d take her for every penny he could. Eddie’s attitude is: If he gets any money from LeAnn, he’s more than earned it.”
Um, can you see LeAnn locking herself in her closet, drunk and sobbing hysterically after accusing Eddie of fooling around? I can picture that perfectly. And while I think LeAnn is… not right in the head, shall we say, I don’t really blame her for starting fights with Eddie about his wandering dong. He DOES have a wandering dong. It’s gross. And it’s making his wife even more unhinged.

No shit.
Perfectly said and yet so eloquent!
my thoughts exactly. 🙂
Might I add… “Sherlock”?
I guess the caveman finally picked his knuckles up off the ground and discovered something, just like fire 😉
This is the “No, Duh” line of the century.
PS-Congrats to the Smiley’s. That frivolous lawsuit was finally settled.
What a hot mess. SHe bagged him when he was married, did she really think he was into her? Sorry, but Charlize Theron she isn’t..
In a nutshell!
In other news, the sky is blue.
I CAN blame her for starting fights about the wandering dong, because she used to LOVE that it was wandering. But only when she was the one it was wandering to.
The woman has a drinking problem. She drunk tweets all the time, and deletes them.
The cover had to go through legal, and it cleared. Leann couldn’t stop it from going out, so it’s not untrue.
Eddie is often the ‘source’ of these stories.
Leann is a breakdown about to go in full swing.
actually the american legal system allows untrue stuff to be published. in this case it wouldnt surprise me if its true but saying just because its on the cover certainly doesnt mean its true.
a celeb needs to prove malice which is practically impossible. also how do you prove that you never hid in your closet when you were drunk? in other states the burden of proof with claims like these obviously is on the person making those claims but in america if you are a public figure its the other way round.
you can pretty much say anything about a celeb and then THEY have to prove that you are wrong and that you did this will “actual malice”
here is an except from a site explaining it:
“Unlike other countries that hold a publisher liable for every defamatory statement regardless of what steps he or she took prior to publication, under U.S. law a plaintiff must prove that the defendant was at fault when she published the defamatory statement. In other words, the plaintiff must prove that the publisher failed to do something she was required to do.
Unlike the negligence standard discussed later in this section, the actual malice standard is not measured by what a reasonable person would have published or investigated prior to publication. Instead, the plaintiff must produce clear and convincing evidence that the defendant actually knew the information was false or entertained serious doubts as to the truth of his publication. In making this determination, a court will look for evidence of the defendant’s state of mind at the time of publication and will likely examine the steps he took in researching, editing, and fact checking his work. It is generally not sufficient, however, for a plaintiff to merely show that the defendant didn’t like her, failed to contact her for comment, knew she had denied the information, relied on a single biased source, or failed to correct the statement after publication.
Not surprisingly, this is a very difficult standard for a plaintiff to establish. Indeed, in only a handful of cases over the last decades have plaintiffs been successful in establishing the requisite actual malice to prove defamation. “
The American legal system? PPfftt..really? It’s the 1st amendment and it’s your right and anyone else’s right to say or publish whatever they want. We have the legal system to protect from slander and make them print retractions. Just sayin’.
@jujujen- thats an overly simplistic statement at best (and im being very kind, here). rather than be the legal beagle commentator ill just throw a little fact in- if it wasnt true, a safe assumption would be that someone as historically litigious as Leann Rimmes would have been all over it way before print. i think this has been pointed out up/down thread. they might have connected the dots that people have been throwing out for the last few weeks, which is fair.
i hate to say it- but true or not, it serves her right.
if anyone knows anymore about the smiley case id love to hear it. good for them!!
It could be true or untrue or partly true. I don’t know, but Star and others publish lies all the time. They have covers Brad is Leaving Angelina, Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, Justin and Jen Break Up and then their engagement is announced, on and on. Come on. A small percent of what Star publishes is true. These magazines are mostly a joke and I tend to only believe someone like Star when they have photos. Enquirer has a better rate but they publish lies all the time too. They have to fill pages weekly.
Who’s to say that PR people aren’t having those covers run? It’s profitable to Jen to have covers with her, it’s profitable to the magazine to have them selling.
It can still be a lie even if a PR person says it. And of course it isn’t necessarily “untrue.” Celebitchy readers have speculated all of these things before. To be legally clear, all Star has to do is claim they have a “source,” who could be literally anybody, and even Sue Ann can’t do a damn thing about it.
Bottom line is, no, they publish lies all the time and are legally protected to do so under the first amendment. That’s why celebrities usually don’t fight them in court.
True. I’d just absolutely love to believe this, but its by Star and practically nothing they publish is true its an unwritten rule.
Sal – Star has gotten a lot more right in recent years. I felt that way too, but it’s US and People which are considered more ‘respected’ that are really PR driven machines.
They probably continue to publish the brad/angie/jen stories because they know the three of them really don’t give a crap and will never sue. LeAnn is another story, she gets off on the power of suing and the tabs know it. That is why there are so few stories about them like this, it’s not worth it. Unless in the case like now when the story is very likely true.
No, tabloid covers do NOT work that way.
It still had to clear with legal in some capacity. Look, I’m not saying it’s fully true, I said it’s not “untrue”. Knowing Leann sues over root canals, if there wasn’t truth to this, she’d be all over it.
Sorry Erinn, but no, it did NOT have to have legal clearance. Do you think the 273rd baby Jennifer Aniston is onto now needed legal clearance? Tabloids have no obligation, whatsoever, to have any legal clearance. Magazines can and do make up whatever they want. They have no legal liability for slander.
This is very incorrect. All they have to do is attribute things to an anonymous source. It is near impossible to prove libel (or slander) in the US. Read this for an example of how tabloid stories are completely fake. http://www.godammit.com/2012/07/11/the-real-truth-about-tom-and-katie/
I was going to say… don’t tabloids essentially have a built-in defense against libel due to the fact that all of their claims come from “sources”?
So, if they publish a story saying “A source told us that the President is actually from Jupiter,” they aren’t *technically* lying…
This trick is getting no treats. Ediot is finally taking back his balls and the lawsuit against the Smileys was dismissed! Ding dong the witch is going down!
Does anyone know what happened to the lawsuit against the dentist? I guess that’s the only other lawsuit pending – at least for now.
Ediot and Smiley, AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH <3
The lawsuit still served its purpose though. I’m sure it caused a considerable amount of financial hardship for the Smiley woman.
As an aside, the comments section on this new format is considerably harder to read than the old one. The time stamps overlap with the names, making it difficult to see who is making the comments
Mort: Agreed. It’s not bad on my desktop but it’s unreadable on my phone.
I think the lawsuit proved what a narcissistic liar Leann is/was. The Smileys won big time.
Am trying very very hard not to be cynical about men/life/relationships in general these days but this is one rule that I have not yet seen an exception to – if he’ll cheat WITH you, he’ll cheat ON you. She’s right to worry….
My grandma always used to say “how you gets ’em is how you lose ’em”.
You know , I have heard that saying and I kind of don’t agree. Because it only really most often applies to cheating.
If you get him being a friend, you don’t always lose him on friendly terms.
What if he dies….does that mean you killed somebody in order to get him?
It is simpler to say “don’t cheat with a cheater you dummy”.
But yes, I am splitting unimportant hairs. I will eat more chocolate and feel better soon
Promo for the stupid upcoming show. Nothing more.
Except the shows been pushed back for like a year from now. If that was their plan, they should have waited for a few months at least.
I didn’t know that. I am blissfully ignorant of all things Leann/Eddie/Brandi except for Celebitchy. Still, it’s not beyond these two to promote even this far in advance.
And apparently, Leann likes to keep the “buzz” going, get it? haha
The show has been pushed back to Fall 2014. Also, LR knew the story was coming out as of this past Thursday, she tried to have the story stopped/dropped, she lost she was told to pound sand.
You’re ruining my bliss, nana5 ! lol
Erinn, that’s what I don’t get either! How the F has their show been moved to NEXT fall now?! That’s a year from now! Do reality shows actually do that? Celebrity gossip moves so quickly, who is going to really care (anymore than they do now) about what happens in Leann’s and Eddiot’s lives today a year from now? IF this show airs (and that’s a BIG IF), it’s going to be pointless because I really do think these two will be over in a year.
Anyway, I can see you are a Just Say Jenn reader too. Thanks to you ladies on this board, I’ve been checking her out the past few weeks and damn is she great :).
LeAnn would never allow anything out there that makes it look like her husband does not completely love and adore her, so no. her ego cannot handle that.
He’ll never leave her money until he has spent it all and her career completely tanks or someone richer or more famous comes along.
He can leave with whatever divorce proceedings may allow. She tore the prenuptial agreement up. She is hosed- he is a vindictive person & he is going to punish her for cock-blocking him throughout the marriage, and for being such a shameless embarrassment to him AND herself.
Pretty ugly shit when two flaming narcissists terminally collide.
Oohhhh, didn’t know about the prenup. That changes everything…
Does just tearing it up make it invalid? Don’t you have to formally rescind it in writing?
bluhare, I think so. Tearing it up means nothing. It’s purely symbolic.
I honestly hope the prenup is still valid, just so this douche canoe doesn’t get a dime. Here’s hoping he is unpleasantly surprised.
I am shocked, I tell you shocked, to hear this! Boo Falcor🎃👻🎃
I am so happy for the Smileys!
LOL
Yea, can we get a story on how the Smiley case was dismissed yesterday, that was awesome!
Seriously! That was the Falcor news I was most excited about yesterday.
Anyone with a brain and a twitter account should be able to see that the divorce was going to happen in 3…2..1. LR’s crazy has been on full throttle for a few years now, this marriage meltdown between two narcissistic cheaters was always fated. But the Smileys are an anonymous family who have been sucked into Falcor’s crazy at great emotional and financial distress. I am SO happy for them today!
BA-HA-HA-HA!! FALCOR! I just wet my pants a little bit. 😂. She really does look like Falcor. And her and Eddie’s life is the Neverending Story.
I hope this story is true. It would serve Leann right for being so smug about their relationship. I wonder if anyone will watch their reality show? Why would we? She certainly airs her dirty laundry on the internet everyday. I, for one, will not be watching their show. They are both pathetic adulterers, and I personally feel by watching their show, I’d be condoning both of their behaviors. Which by the way, I’m completely against.
They (LR and Eddiot) are lower than whaleshit.. such scumbags.
I feel sorry for the kids because this explosion will hurt them.
+1
I think they’re both despicable people and hope they are stuck together for years to come, they’re perfect for each other.
If Brandi takes his calls so he can bitch about his current wife then she’s an idiot. (I don’t really believe this though?)
I agree. And that’s what I’m afraid of, that part of Brandi wants Eddiot back. From reading her book, it’s obvious she still has feelings for him even though she has moved on with her life. I for one will no longer be a fan of her if she takes that scumbag loser sh*thead back.
ITA, but I think that part of the story is bogus. Brandi has had four years of Eddie showing her his hand. Even if she does have feelings for him, I think she is smart enough to walk away from him, while still maintaining healthy communication for Mason and Jake.
Normally, I roll my eyes at Star, but I can totally believe this.
Eh, the Brandi quote makes me doubt this story. She hates him, right? At least, that’s what i’ve gathered from the stories on her i’ve read, where she talks about Eddie.
If it is true though, i’m not surprised. It was only a matter of time.
Brandi is probably talking to Eddie about their children and it probably drifts into his issues with Leann. They are co-parents and for better or worse…will be connected forever thru these boys. I think it’s better for the kids if the divorced parents can at least be civil if not friends for the sake of them.
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!
Ha! I love it! What a trainwreck.
My perfect last scene for their “wildly successful (?)” script/reality show would be for Eddie to shout out that he can’t take anymore of LR’s crap (one of LR’s favorite words at this time) and throw divorce papers at her. As he is walking out the door (he should be running out), she screams at him to come back. Finally realizing he is not coming back, she calls her buddy Darrel and begs him to come over and by the way, bring a bottle–a big bottle! Fade away to the reorganized closet where LR lays screaming and tweeting away! Oh yeah!
In news surprising no one….
I am not a LeAnn fan whatsoever, but Jesus, as if Eddie is some kind of innocent victim in all this. The dude not only cheated on his wife with LeAnn, but with many other women
This dude is no prize whoever lands him. He is a cheater. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
I think Brandi would take him back in a second to “even the score” and because I truly think she is not over him.
All the people in this scenario are gross. In my opinion.
Absolutely this guy is a piece of sh*t. I believe the story is for real, and only the tip of the iceberg, and it’s Ediot who is putting it out there to make it look like “poor me” paving the way for leaving. He’s a manipulator and is setting her up, doing things he knows will set her off to make her look bad. Not that she isn’t just as bad though. I think her money is almost gone and she’s too much trouble for him to deal with, and now Brandi is having a measure of success he’s trying to get back in with her. I believe that Brandi is in touch with Ediot, even just for the kids’ sakes, and she knows what is coming, that’s why she’s backed off the Tweeting with LeAnn, she doesn’t want to caught up in the sh*tfight that’s to come. It should be interesting to see if she takes him back – I don’t think she will.
Totally agree. He’s getting ready to wreck her big time.
We all knew this was going to happen.
It’s called karma.
I’m still stuck on the $50M…The f*ck! If Eddie had $12M he certainly wouldn’t be with LeAnn. LeAnn is closer to $8M than the $38M she banked almost 20yrs ago. She doesn’t earn any money and have spent more in the last 4 1/2 years entertaining her HPV unemployed husband. Every endeavor she’s had since hooking up with him has failed.
I agree! There is no way she is worth $50M.
I’m not sure why she always seems to desperate to hold on to him. He will never be faithful to anyone so how she caught him is definitely how she’ll lose him.
Leann had to shell out 10 mil to Dean in the divorce settlement and has been spending steadily since with little coming in. I bet it is more at 15 to 20 mil. if that. Her net worth never showed 50 only 40 tops and that was 20 years ago.
The math doesn’t seem to add up. Spending a lot with little to no income will drain whatever money someone earned long ago. And I don’t think either of them are savvy investors. I’ve never believed they are worth as much as what is claimed, especially when they bought that ugly, supposedly bargain house.
If she invested her money wisely and lived off the interest, so may still be worth $38 million.
@Mort -I agree it’s possible to have preserved the principal, but I just doubt it in this case. Her dad alleged she was spending recklessly years ago, plus her divorce settlement, alleged loss on the Nashville house (which looked much more grand than the casa), expensive cars, clothing, lifestyle, etc.
MorticiansDoItDeader – great name btw!
So true, but this is Leanne… not sure she has ever done anything wisely!
I read a blind on Lainey gossip that is supposed to be them. Apparently he goes out of his way to fuck with her and torment her. I hate Leann but have also been saying this for years.
Eddie is angry and resentful that she pushed their affair into the open and caused his divorce. He didnt want things to end. He begged Brandi to take him back. But after the pictures Leann set up, she wouldn’t.
I think he got together with Leann after Brandi dumped him to hurt Brandi because he was bitter and angry she left him.
I think he loved the money, gifts and attention and so married Leann.
I think he is sick and tired of her antics and I think he is actively punishing her and trying to hurt her by setting up happy photo ops when she is out of town, leaving details of his cheating around for her to find, and leaking stories that make her look like shit to the tabs. I also think he calls the paps on her when she is not camera ready.
Just my thoughts.
THIS
ooh, can u link please? Love her blinds, must have missed that one!
Are you a JSJer, too? ;-D
FWIW, I agree, except for the minor point that it isn’t so much that he loved the $, gifts, attention; but expected them as payment from her for the world of shit she caused him. But maybe that’s splitting hairs.
Agreed Dinah.
I’m a JSJer too 🙂
Just your thoughts.
And all JSJ blinds 😉
Day 1 Fan
What is JSJ?
JustSayJenn.net. It’s a blind blog that has TONS of good dirty on Leann (aka Margaret sometimes on the blog).
People, this all came out 2 months ago as “blinds” on Just say Jenn.
I can believe bits & pieces, & that LR is psycho & driving Eddie up the wall. I dont know about all the ‘in contact w/Brandi’ stuff though. Due to knowing she still hates him, I *could* believe that when discussing the boy’s visitation, she let’s him bitch about Leann, but ONLY bc I dont think Brandi would avoid the chance to get dirt on her, & gloat a bit. Maybe she just let’s him whine for the info she gets out of it?
I definitely believe the part about Leann being a drunk who throws hussy (was gonna say ‘hissy’, but typo fits much better) fits & starting shit then having tantrums & emotional breakdowns.
Agree, I think there is a lot of truth to this and Ediot is more than likely the source.
It will be a joy to see Eddie flail (fail?) on his own and Brandi figure out how to transform her fame without being “the ex wife of the man who left her for Leann Rimes”. I’ve always said that Eddie will be living in a van down by the river when they finally divorce. It’s a shame the boys will have to spend their 50% custody time with him there. This has been a craptastic 5 years for Leann and maybe she can turn it all around once Eddie and the whole situation is over. Sometimes people get themselves into situations that are terrible for themselves and the only way to recover is to get out. I choose to see the best in everyone (Leann and Brandi included) and I think ALL of them will become stronger and better once the unholy Bermuda triangle is over.
And everyone knows it except Leann 😀
If they cheat with you, then they will cheat on you? Who knows if this true, but I’m sure there is something wrong in paradise! It was just a matter of time before this blew up. LR is not playing with a full deck and all involved better be careful. She stopped at nothing to get Ed, she’ll do the same to keep him!
So the worst mistake was marrying her? How about getting involved with her in the first place, which led to the breakup of two marriages?
I think he will do whatever is easiest and best for HIM. If his ex (who actually appears to have a steady income) would take him back, he’d likely go (assuming he’s racked up all the gifts and money he can for his “trouble” and feels the ATM is running out with little chance of replenishment).
like i always say: how you get a man is how you gon’ loose him, period…let the karma do her thing…*takes popcorn and slouches on couch*
@someone–And who made it a “craptastic 5 years for Leann”–umm…Leann herself?? Her whole life has been that whatever SHE wants, SHE gets. Well, she wanted to give up on her marriage, spread her legs for a serial cheater, stalk his family, out his other affairs so the wifey would throw out the “man” SHE wanted. LeAnn has made the mess! I feel no sympathy at all for this vile thing. Now she has to live with the aftermath. Everyone else will be alright. Especially the boys as they won’t have to be around this crazy person anymore. Brandi will still have to put up with the “crap” LR and her minions will still throw her way. But she has learned to ignore the “crap”. Eddie will probably get a few sympathizers on his side and also a few acting gigs. But the relief of getting rid of this piece of baggage will be enormous!
Ya think? Those you cheat with on your spouse are very seldom “the love of your life”.
They just happen to be handy, needy and have no morals. Hey, kind of sounds like the second Mrs. Cibrian. But then again you yourself seem quite needy and have no morals. Pot meet kettle!!
Leann is nutters but why are we cheering on Eddie? He’s the most disgusting piece of this whole crappy triangle.
I don’t believe it. Those two freaks seem to be happy to me.
I saw the story yesterday on DM. I’m pretty sure it isn’t all true, but I could not wait to watch the shitstorm that I knew would go down on CB today.
I can’t tell if these two douches are made for each other or not. Ediot will never be happy with one crazy chick. He needs multiples in his life. No way they are as happy as she wants us to believe.
I shall be waiting to see what happens. With popcorn.
And to think, none of this might have happened (or, at least, LeAnn may not have been exposed as the looney bird that she is so … graphically) if she’d just turned down that Lifetime Movie role.
…or honoured her wedding vows.
I could buy a lot of this but I call foul on this story because there is no way in the world that if Eddie and Brandi were texting and he was venting we wouldn’t have heard it FROM BRANDI. That girl is a famewhore and not keep tha quiet.
I don’t know, I think Brandi is carving out a nice little career for herself on her own, that has nothing to do with Leann and Eddiot. I think she’s keeping quiet in all of this mess so she comes out looking stronger AND so she can distance herself from them and their craziness. I think Brandi is becoming quite PR savvy and knows that people are getting tired of her keeping this triangle going.
Didn’t Eddie also say “No, I’m not having an affair with Leann. Those claims are ridiculous” back in the day? Yeah, I truly believe anything out of his mouth. That cover of “She’s psycho” is the absolute truth!
Can someone tell Ediot that his biggest mistake was sleeping with a woman he had no romantic interest in just because she was there.
Am I surprised? No!
She will lose him, the same way she “won” him.
I am so glad that incredibly vindictive lawsuit has been dismissed! Someone needs to post more details! Who knows if this is truly the end for the Smiley’s and LR, I hope she puts her tail between her legs and simply hopes we all forget about this with time. Knowing her, she may simply try to get them some other way, she’s that vicious!
I hope this story has a ring of truth. I always have wondered what Eddie REALLY thinks of the drama his wife creates. I cannot imagine how any man, married to someone famous or not, would put up with a woman as controlling, insecure, clingy and unbalanced as LR is. He doesn’t seem particularly whipped, so is it purely the money? It has to be something external, she does not offer anything else in the way of desirability other than that.
Cannot wait to see what cannonballs she lobs back to fight this latest portrayal!
Oh, I hope this is true – especially the part about his texting/talking to Brandy. Not that I think they should get back together, but it’s better for their children if they’re getting along.
Did anyone else see this article about Leann’s latest Twitter debaucle? It’s beautiful. She’s such an idiot.
http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2013/leann-rimes-eddie-cibrian-drinking-tweeting-twitter-vacation-10
The only part of this story I believe is Eddie going after her money if they divorce. He’s not stupid enough to get off the Leann crazy train when she’s footing the bills. They will stay married until his wandering dong gets him into real trouble, like a pregnant mistress or STD!
Surprise surprise surprise!! Eddie is a gold digging slut? Who’d a thunk?
I must first make a few congratulations: Congrats to Jezi on her beautiful new baby and to the Smiley family for forcing LeAnn’s lawsuit to be dismissed. LeAnn refused to give a deposition so the judge threw it out. Now, LeAnn should have to pay all of Smiley’s costs because this suit was nothing but a slap suit which is illegal in California.
All of the info in the Star story has been floating around twitter and gossip sites for several weeks. I’ve no doubt that VH1 put out this story to gin-up buzz for the reality show. It comes on the heels of Tori and Dean’s pimping for their new show as well as the Kardashian family break-up. If there are no Halloween pictures posted today by LeAnn, then Eddie might be ready to walk, but I doubt it.
Snowglobe is in meltdown mode! I don’t see this being done by VH1 because this mess of a show isn’t going to be on for a year (if it makes it on air at all) so why generate buzz now?
On a much happier note: Congrats to Jezi and the Smileys!!
Good point about the show being so far off that this story doesn’t help the PR buzz. If the show does make it to air, I can see the first episode being how LeAnn has “punked” the gossip world by putting out all her crap….LeAnn and Eddie laugh and laugh about it. One thing is for sure, you have to love money more than life itself to live with LeAnn.
Congrats to Jezi also. That is wonderful news. Ditto the news about the Smileys. I’m very happy for Kim.
Rita: I thought I read on Radar that LeAnn requested the judge throw-out the lawsuit? Is that just LeAnn spinning this to make her look sympathetic? Knowing LeAnn, there’s no way she asked the judge to throw out the lawsuit so I’m wondering why it was reported as such.
Several other sources have stated that the judge threw out the suit sighting the fact that for a year LeAnn has refused to give a deposition. The ROL quote came as spin from LeAnn when she was asked for a comment. It’s what we all expect from her.
Thanks Rita! I had read some comments & tweets giving LeAnn *kudos* for doing the right thing (throwing out the case) — but it just didn’t seem to mesh that she would actually be civil and do that.
That last pic of LR……truly hilarious!
Even though this is from Star, I totally believe this. I’ll even bet that he leaked it himself—to start a wave of sympathy (which I won’t have any) for when he finally does dump her. It’s like those tabloid stories about Jennifer and Justin not being able to decide where they want to live–I think Jennifer’s trying to decide if she wants to marry this dude or not. and if she doesn’t, then she can say they couldn’t compromise on where they wanted to live. I think Eddie’s doing the same thing–he can especially leave whenever he wants—remember when Leann was bragging on twitter that she ripped up their prenup (idiot!)? Yeah. Eddie probably began counting the days down from there.
When they divorce, Leann is going to freak, and I’m going to laugh. Because I know so many people who are like Leann–not as crazy, but people who think they’re right about anything and everything. Who will lie to you with a straight face, and not even think about–even if they’re blatantly wrong. It’s scary–I’m a terrible liar, my mom can tell by the look on my face when I’m lying.
And did anyone see the sidebar about Angelina? So the tabloids new strategy is to speculate on her boobs and ovaries??? I guess they’re still mad about dropping the ball on her mastectomy.
LOL at that bottom picture.
Said it before and I’ll say it again. LeAnn, honey, he did it to Brandi with you so why on earth don’t you believe he’ll do it to you with someone else???
I would never, COULD never, be married to someone who I am either worried has cheated, is cheating or will cheat, day in and day out. If this is true (and I think it is) it’s no wonder she is losing her mind. If Brandi wants Eddie back, she just has to sit tight while the pendulum (or the wandering dong) swings back her way. That’s what usually happens when husbands cheat although most don’t divorce, remarry and THEN realize their new wife is an insane hyena who bays at the moon.
I can’t either. And I know someone who is exactly like Eddie–my second cousin. He was basically a man who did absolutely nothing with his life. When his first wife met him, he didn’t shower, didn’t comb his hair, brush his teeth or nothing. She cleaned him up, found him a job, and they got married. Before they were married, he already had a long term girlfriend. They were married for about 8 years, before she got tired of him cheating on her (with randoms, with the long term girlfriend), so they got a divorce. Less than a month later, he was already planning on marrying the long term girlfriend. Now keep in mind, this girlfriend actually moved a street away from my cousin, so that they could be together easier.
So it’s summer time, and he’s getting married at the end, and our family is having barbecques in my grandma’s backyard every weekend. And everytime my cousin comes, he’s bringing this girl with him–we all assumed it was the girlfriend. Uh, no–it’s a new girlfriend. We didn’t see the woman who was actually going to be his wife until THE WEDDING. My mom looked at her and asked “Who is THAT?” No one knew who she was. And they’ve been married for about six years now—and he’s still doing the same old things.
A while ago, his wife was complaining that he always went out, saying “you need to stay home with your family”–you know what he said to her? He said “You weren’t saying that when I was with my first wife”….I almost died laughing. Yeah, my cousin’s going to get his one day, but man….his wife is an idiot. That’s what cheater’s do. Especially in Hollywood. I can think of only two couples that cheated together, who are completely devoted to each other–Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson and Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson. Other than that, if you cheat, you cheat on everyone you’re with generally.
Star is not exactly a reliable source of truth, but I really get the feeling that one of Eddie’s friends is responsible for the leaks that have been coming fast and furious lately and that he’s put them up to it. The rumours are all about LeAnn being a drunk, psycho and paint him as the victim who’s being forced to leave. None of the people that he and LeAnn spend time with are her real friends. They came with Eddie and have been riding the money train along with him and will be long gone when he is. LeAnn and Eddie didn’t even honeymoon alone. She was obviously drunk tweeting on their last trip together. Manically at that. Doesn’t exactly scream romantic, dream trip. Eddie’s getting his ducks in a row. He’s let her take the brunt of the criticism their entire relationship and will make sure she looks like the villain when their relationship ends as well. He’s such a lowdown, dirty scumbag.
Yes, I can see him putting his buddies up to leaking this.
Living with an alcoholic is not easy – wonder if LR’s behaviour would change if she quit the mean juice.
MBR: Good point… Maybe she started drinking when she starting hooking-up with Eddie, which would explain her behavior all this time… which would sort of make sense because she seemed somewhat *normal* before she got with Eddie.
No way, her Dad had trouble with her boozing it up when she was underage. She’s been hitting the tequila since forever.
She could be self-medicating, because I think she does have some mental health issues, which gives me pause whenever I’m inclined to feel judgey-judgey about her. Like all of us, she’s dealing with life the best she knows how–it’s just that her life skills (and possibly her ability to be rational) aren’t sufficient. As to the life skills, it’s not odd for a child star to end up not getting a good grounding in those.
I’ve got a more charitable spin on the stories about Eddie tormenting her, too. It might just be that he’s finally clued into the fact that if you want an addict to get better, you have to stop enabling them–you stop helping them hide their messes. So if he hauls her to the car before she’s camera-ready because they have to go to work even though she spent the night passed out on the living room floor, that’s not necessarily cruelty–it might be standard operating procedure for a spouse dealing with an addict.
Isn’t Gossip Cop a very LeAnn-friendly site? – So of course they would have a quote from LeAnn or Eddie to shoot down this story. I wouldn’t take their word as anything, as I also wouldn’t take Star’s cover as much. However, I think there is more truth in Star’s cover than in GC’s denial.
Gossip Cop has lost all credibility. Taking a publicists one sentence denial as the truth is ridic. and they should know that. Screw Gossip Cop.
Question: If they divorce, will this trick stop her SWF’ing of Brandi? The clothes, purses, hair colour, tweets, blankets, (speaking of blankets, think this trick will try to show up at soccer games after the divorce?) etc. One can only hope for B and the boy’s sakes.
I think it might get even worse. She will somehow blame Brandi when Ed leaves her.
As for whether or not the Star story is true (parts are)…they, like everyone who follows the LeAnn/Ediot mess, know there are cracks in that marriage. LeAnn gives a lot away in her tweets. She’s not a happy person, and the amount of time she tweets (as herself and on fake accounts), she can’t possibly be spending quality time with her husband. I mean, she lives with that phone in her hand. So, yes, I see that marriage ending because of Ediot’s wandering dong and LeAnn’s insecurity/drinking. But don’t expect it to happen tomorrow or next week, because she’s going to hang on as long as she can and pretend with all her might that they are HAPPY AND IN LOVE.
The only way the show will ever make it to air and have any public interest is if they decide to do what no other reality show has done before: “LeAnn & Eddie, The Divorce. ” Where the audience watches their marriage fall to pieces.
Anyone got more info. on the Smiley case? i keep reading different versions.
1) That LeAnn asked for it to be dismissed and they settled.
2) Judge threw it out b/c it was stupid and no settlement.
3) Judge threw it out b/c of her refusal to do depo. and no settlement.
4) It was all part of a settlement. One in which the Smileys took on a gag order.
Anyone know more info.?
They probably dismissed it because of the “unclean hands” issue that Smiley’s lawyer brought up. LeAnn’s lawyers most likely told her she had no case and it was dismissed with prejudice meaning, the party who filed the lawsuit had misconduct & cannot re file. I saw with my own eyes the court log online for the case # that state it was dismissed with prejudice.
“Prejudice is a legal term with different meanings when used in criminal, civil or common law. In general, an action taken with prejudice indicates misconduct on the part of the party who filed the claim and forbids that party from refiling the case, while without prejudice often refers to procedural problems where the party may refile.”
Why does Eddie remind me of K-Fed? This spectacle is one of my faves, admittedly.
I think he leaked this story to grab her attention so she shapes up. otherwise, he’s going to have to pull a katie holmes to get out of that muck marriage because she’s got the money for the big guns attorneys.
or this could be for their reality show thats filming.
I dont see them splitting up anytime soon and Eddie needs some more time in leann purgatory to be properly punished for how he did Brandi
mine is a completely random thought based upon how the Kardashians operate.
Leak some story to a tabloid and and it’s part f their reality shows’ storylines. Months after the fact, you see the story line play out on the reality show including the tabloid headline.
Well here is the truth! There is some truth in this. Eddie confided in a friend no doubt who then leaked parts of this. Is it exaggerated yes. Does Eddie want out?…YES! This will put Leann over the edge. Might happen sooner now.
Is all of this story true? Maybe not, but I don’t believe the union is as happy as she tries to portray. Whether he had any part in leaking this story and the recent blinds (some of which were confirmed by the legend herself), who knows.
Flashback to January – and a Star story covered here. This was right around the time of the Carly / fake crying interview / laxatives callout events:
http://www.celebitchy.com/272069/eddie_cibrian_spends_leanns_money_at_an_alarming_rate_he_doesnt_even_care/
Now, this story surfaces after the sickness / broken finger or hand / missing ring episodes of the past two months.
For sure LeAnn will be super pissed over this story. I just went shopping, and this magazine is in every store, at every check out stand. And it’s going to be there all week. She can’t make them take it down. Plus, she’ll go psycho on Ediot because she knows he said this stuff to someone (the person who leaked it). This story alone will widen the crack in their marriage.
Errrr, why would anyone defend the smiley’s or say this is remotely untrue? Let us have our moment dammit, we’ve been waiting for her to be exposed. Geesh.,,,
Read on….the story is FALSE.
I believe it.
What I find to be rather interesting is that Leann hasn’t gone Twitter crazy and posted numerous pictures of her and Eddie’s infamous Halloween costumes to prove how crazy in love they are. I also hear rumors on other sites that one of the boys is refusing to wear his costume. Has anyone heard of this?
We could psychoanalyze this till the cows come home. Until I see both of them have a verbal fight caught on camera, divorce papers drawn up and shown on TMZ,or Leann shaves her head ala Britney, Star magazine is not my first choice for factual data of an impending divorce and/or meltdown. There are threads of truth what has been written, but one cannot be sure what parts are not.
To be a fly on a wall in that house (or closet for that matter!) to see and hear what is really going on. She is slowly withering away mentally and her physical appearance is telling everyone something is not right.
I still say she has alcohol problems, even though I have been lambasted for saying it in the past.
I also cannot understand that if Eddie is cheating, how on earth is he being so good and keeping it under wraps? Is Leann paying off the waitress or what she is?
It certainly has been one cr***y October for Leann and I am glad it has smacked that smug face of hers. Having the lawsuit thrown out, her ex being a perfect gentleman on TV when talking about her, the VH1 issue and now this are all music to my ears.
Well, she’s been doing a Halloween countdown for at least a week and a half. She tweeted earlier that she’s getting her hair and makeup done professionally and how Eddie decorated the house and how she couldn’t wait to show off their costumes. She is ridiculous.
I don’t follow her on Twitter, but I do check her t/l just to see what crazy or bizarre things she posts. Plus the replies are hilarious (before she deletes them). Today Brandi tweeted how she was kind of sad that she wouldn’t have her boys this evening and guess who had to tweet behind her? LeAnn with a tweet about how she “popped” into the boys’ school and how she couldn’t wait to take them trick or treating. I don’t use swear words, but I completely get why people call her an a-hole. She doesn’t get that people despise her bc at her core, she’s just mean.
I just was told she and Eddie are dressed like Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton. I seriously do not want to attempt to go to her Twitter feed to see the madness. I could imagine what she did.
As a teacher, there is a serious problem here. In my school under no circumstances are step parents allowed to just drop in any ol’ time they like or really ever unless they take the place of a deceased parent and we have everything written on record. The only two people who should be visiting those boys are Eddie and Brandi (and Eddie is questionable in my book—that poor excused for a father). If I was the boys’ teacher I would contact the administration to post a complaint and have her barred.
I am pretty harsh on parents– not to the point of being rude…but intimidating . I would seriously have a firm talk with Leann telling her to respect the boys’ boundaries and mine as well. She just can’t “drop” in.
I’m just wondering if Hollywood schools (or wherever the boys go) are so up in the air with letting anyone into the building to see kids. Has anyone heard of Security????? Does she go in there under the influence of alcohol? I could go on forever, but unlike Leann I have a full time job and need to be at work by 7:00 tomorrow morning and need some shut-eye.
I’ll shut it for now—just my 2 cents….
Jane I’ve read your comments before. I want to just say thank you for your commitment to your profession. You are an awesome teacher & your comments always reflect the level of care & concern you have for the students you teach & encounter at your school! Don’t stop putting your 2 cents…& I have to agree you you regarding Ms. rimes just “popping into” school.
I notice that the sidebar mentions that Ellen and Portia are having issues. If true, I hope they can work it out.
Leann on twitter: Eddie is decorating the house.
Eddie: Okay crazy pants, I packed all my shit and Im out of here.
Leann: Oh great you finished decorating now can you put the candy in the bowls.
Eddie: Look I’ll come by for the rest of my shit later. I would appreciate it if you would not be here when I come by.
Leann: Great, now let’s take the boys trick or treating.
Eddie: What? The boys are with there grandparents and you know it. Look will be at my girlfriends house. She’s about to come into a lot of dough. She’s 21, a size 0 and I can stand to be around her. But just because my girlfriend is rich don’t think your getting off easy. Thanks for tearing up that pre-nup pycho. Hey dude be careful with that furniture while putting it the moving van. You know how many years I had to put in for this.
Leann: So your going on a location shoot? I’ll cook you some tacos and chilli when you come home.
Eddie: Yeah, your gonna have a long wait on that one trick. Hey Kiki can you help me take Leann’s jewelery and clothes to the car. Wanna give my girlfriend some gifts.
Eddie’s new girlfriend: Hey Eddie come on! Do you really know Steven Spielberg?
Eddie: Go wait in the car. Here make yourself usefull and carry out my jewelry box.
Leann: So how long will you be gone?
Eddie: Oh November of never trick! I thought I would never get the hell out of here.! Peace out! Edie gives Leann the middle finger while driving away. By the way if you go near the kids I’ll have your crazy ass arrested.
Leann tweeting: Eddie is going out for more candy to hand out. He is so sweet. He just took all the furniture and clothes to good will. He is so selfless. He said he is going to be me a whole new house with a walkin closet with new clothes. The kids are in their room changing into costume. How cute! I’m so happy!
LMAO!! Spot on!
Hilarious take on what really happens at Casa deLusion.
Did anyone see their LamE attempt at Kenny and Dolly? She claims it took hours to get ready; I imagine he just ran in and grabbed some cheap dark wig and hobo beard.
Funcakes haha you totally nailed the oblivious delusion that LeAnn lives under.
JustSayJenn, who has been right numerous times, has said she thinks it will all come to a head around January and Eddie is getting his ducks in a row. He’s also the one selling her out because he resents her. Eddie is a POS, but he’s the boys’ father and it’s better if he and Brandi can co-parent because there’s no choice. Brandi is smart enough to know it, too. As for Leann, I do not feel sorry for her. She imploded a family because of lust she mistook as love, and then tried to get rid of Brandi because she wanted her life. Failing that, she harassed, bullied and stalked Brandi and even used Brandi’s kids as tools. She is pure evil. Nothing can make up for the years that Brandi and the boys suffered under this bully, but at least free them NOW.
I agree completely. I think what makes watching all this so fascinating is that it’s all her own doing.
I hope he realizes by this lawsuit going nowhere that she may try to intimidate people legally but has yet to be successful. She and Dean settled quickly, but then again she wanted her prize.
A confidentiality agreement is probably the biggest card he can play to get a quick settlement. She’ll likely just get mad and try to show the world how happy she is single. But to cover all bases, hopefully he’ll discuss with his lawyer whether some type of restraining order would be warranted.
Glad to hear the lawsuit has been dropped. Hope she won’t continue going after Smiley after this
Is this a new Celebitchy trend to put a really unflattering photo of the celeb at the end of the story? If so, I like it!
Ive been waiting since day 1 for this story to break. I CANT WAIT.
If you think she’s crazy now, just WAIT until all her “it was for true love- it doesn’t matter who you hurt if its for LOVE!” washes down the drain & everyone sees that all she has ever been is a washed up, crazy, stalking, home wrecking mess
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
It’s called Karma, LeAnn, and it’s a bigger bitch than Brandy 😉
hugs & kisses!
PS- if he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you. especially with a face like that.
@sugar—thank you!!
I just don’t get that pair! Brandi is, in my opinion, in the very 1st seat on the crazy bus. She is just out there and I think LeAnn is as well. That is probably what he likes: Blonde and Nuttier than a squirrels turd.
My belief is this guy isn’t going anywhere because he doesn’t want to work to have the lifestyle he currently enjoys with her. He plays her like a fiddle and does anything and everything he wants to do. She allows him to do whatever for fear of him leaving her. Since the new has wore off the relationship, I am sure he does her the same way he did Brandi. Hardly ever home but when he is he makes her think they are happily married. She puts up with it because she thinks it’s better than not having him at all. She has obviously been drinking and eating to console herself while he is out galavanting around. The only way he would be ready to go is if she is almost broke. It wouldn’t surprise me if she is strapped financially. She has been living high on the hog (literally) for many years off of old money.
