Well, I guess LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian had Jake and Mason for the Thanksgiving holiday. Is this how it usually is? I forget. I think this is how it usually is – Eddie and LeAnn have the boys on Thanksgiving day and Brandi Glanville has the boys on Christmas day? Something like that. Makes me thankful that I don’t’ have to deal with dueling holiday celebrations these days. Anyway, LeAnn and her BFF/enforcer Darrell Brown tweeted and retweeted several photos from LeAnn’s Twitter and Darrell’s Twitter. See, she “won”! She won the holiday. She has the photo evidence to prove it, y’all.
Is Eddie growing out his mustache for Movember? I guess so. Usually I like a man with some facial hair and scruff, but Eddie is just one of those guys who should never have scruff, right? He looks like one of the Village People.
As for Brandi, she gave a lengthy interview to Fox News about the unholy budget triangle of doom, which you can read here. She says some interesting stuff about her long-term goals and whether she wants the unholy triangle to continue for the sake of her “brand”. Here’s part of the interview:
Brandi Glanville may be best known as the loud-mouthed, combative single mom on the popular “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but there’s much more to this 41-year-old former model than meets the eye. Just don’t call her a brand.
“I hate that word because people say it all the time and you hear people say ‘protecting my brand,’ but it is like you’re protecting yourself. I am honestly just trying to do things that will be for the long run even after the reality TV world has come to an end,” Glanville told FOX411.
“My long-term goals are to buy a house for the kids; we are still renting. I want to secure a financial future for us. My kids are going to start private school soon.”
Glanville, of course, has two children with former husband Eddie Cibrian – who left her in 2009 for Leann Rimes – and while the war of words between mom and stepmom has been the subject of much media fodder, Glanville says she hopes to have a civil, amicable relationship with the country music star one day.
“I really want that. I don’t want all this crap to go on forever, for my kids’ sake, too. For the first time in a while I sat down the other day at parent-teacher conferences and we all got along. It was easy and it made me feel there was hope,” she said. “I don’t see us sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner, but I want to get along with them and to negotiate easily.”
Many of you have theorized that Eddie and Brandi are getting along a lot better these days, and that Eddie has been trying to ratchet down LeAnn’s fatwa against all things Brandi. I tend to believe it, sort of. I really don’t think Eddie is a mastermind of romantic entanglements or long-term divorce strategy. I think he just doesn’t want to see his wife actively trying to destroy the mother of his children. So… we’ll see.

Because, of course she did. Troll.
HAPPY THANKS GIVING week to you too!
Keep posting such amazing work on this blog 🙂
I wish all 3 of these famewhores would go away! Take the Ktrash Klan with you!
But then what would we all talk about?
This is truly like watching a roller coaster.
It would be nice if the PARENTS could get along and easily work through any matters involving their children (privately). The boys will eventually resent their father if they feel he sided against their mother, or vice versa.
Brandi, Leann, and Eddie are absurd. Those boys are adorable. The “blended family” photo is pretty cute. Most of the time I think the Cibrian boys are doomed because of their ridiculous parents, but then I see a photo like that and I think they’ll be just fine.
Yeah, right??!! With all LR’s craziness and the craziness of her friends, ie Barrel?! I don’t think so!!
@briargal,
The crazy is not only coming from Leann and her people, not by a long shot.
I think that they all get along just fine and do all this just for publicity.
Based on ‘photo assumption’, yeah. It DOES look like they are all happy and relaxed with each other; so, the over the top rancor may very well be for show. I mean, we’ve NEVER seen photos of LeAnn and Brandi at a soccer game going toe to toe, spittle flying and neck cords bulging, (or anywhere else for that matter).
Good call, Spooks.
I’m wishing these people the best because there are innocent children involved and we all know those are the ones who are always the most affected when there’s any family drama, especially played out in public.
On that note, I really want all three of them to away.
You win the internet today.
God those are cute kids. They seem to have gotten the best genetics from both parents. That grin on the youngest one is full of mischief.
I feel like her posting SO MANY photos was a case of “LOOK. HOLIDAY TOGETHERNESS Y’ALL. I’m so happeeee”
I was just thinking that. The older one looks just like Brandi and has that long legged coltish look already, and the little one is a mini Eddie. Although Eddie is slimy, I have to admit he passed on some major cutie genes to his sons. That little one always has an impish grin and dimples, I think he might be one of the cutest celeb children!
Has anyone considered the idea of Eddie wanting the photos put out there? He is their father and might want to be seen in that role.
Heidi –
“Has anyone considered the idea of Eddie wanting the photos put out there? He is their father and might want to pimp his kids out for PR, attention for possible film roles and to get under his ex Brandi’s skin”.
There, fixed it for you.
I have to wonder what message LeAnn is sending with pics of 4 empty chairs around a camp site one day and pics of the complete family the next day? Several people with “inside information” of this relationship swear that it will be over after Christmas but is that information being delivered to the public for some diabolical reason? LeAnn is certainly pulling back from her direct taunting of Brandi with reference to her “step sons” which is an improvement but is that for image reconstruction? In any case, if these two don’t separate by year’s end, I’m done with this nightmare.
I never seriously believed they were over by Christmas. They were still shooting the reality series. Why do that if they weren’t going to be together in a few months. And Brandi said in her interview that she actually got along with them at a recent parent-teacher conference, no problems. Why would Eddie bring LeAnn if he was getting ready to walk and he was staying at his parents, on and on.
The empty camp site, who knows with LeAnn. They were all off dirt-biking and she’s sitting there and wants to show the world anything, even that, and makes sure the empty site is perfect. I mean, this is LeAnne we’re talking about. Who knows what goes in that delusional twitter mind of hers. Then they lose reception after that so no more photos or Eddie told her no photos of the boys on the trip
I still think he hangs in there until he gets a regular gig. Otherwise how is he going to pay child support and rent a home for him and the boys and pay his car payment, on and on. It’s not possible and he doesn’t want that stress. He will put up with his marriage if she calms down until he finds another sugar momma or he gets a steady recurring role on TV. It is getting boring, though. It’s just the same old thing over and over with this group, like a cycle, it escalates, it calms down, it escalates, it calms down.
.
@Jayna,
If Brandi is able to rent a house and make car payments then Eddie can too. Of course the house won’t be as nice as the house he lives in now, but it is doable.
@aaa – “If Brandi is able to rent a house and make car payments then Eddie can too.”
But you have to consider that Brandi has not only continuously had a regular job with ‘Housewives of’, but also released an incredibly successful book (that I’m sure she’s still making money from in some form), & (I believe) she said she’s writing another book, which (depending on subject matter) may be just as successful.
Whereas Eddie hasn’t had much work *at all* in quite some time. So I really *don’t* think that just because Brandi is capable financially, that Eddie would be (without Leann).
I am with you on that one. Eddie is trying to portray the good guy image because he trying to milk that minor role he had in Best Holidays hoping for future gigs. He knows he needs his ATM because he has had no employment and needs Leann financial assistance. until something comes up.
“Well, I guess LeAnn Rimes had Eddie Cibrian, Jake and Mason for the Thanksgiving holiday.”
fixed that for ya.
Haha! that’s how my eyes first read that line this morning *sips coffee* read it again & was like awe man I liked my first version-thanks for fixing it:)
Sorry the ignorance, but…. what’s “Movember”?
It is when men grow out their moustaches to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues, primarily prostrate cancer. It takes place during the month of November (moustache + November = Movember)
It’s an awareness campaign for men’s prostate cancer. Grow mustaches in November to support research and a cure.
Love the idea but some people are just NOT meant for facial hair. A few guys in my office look creepy as hell tbh.
Oh God, mine too. We already had a good group of creepies, and add a mustache to the scenario and you’ve got some super sketchy guys.
I think her and Darrell make a cute couple. Burn.
Hahaha! Love it.
I find it so odd how many pictures these people take of themselves. I probably have a few pictures snapped every year – the same volume they take daily.
I know!
I’ve been Facebook tagged in 30ish photos from this year, may be 10 or so more floating about on cameras.
My friends and I keep saying we need to take a photo of us but we get so caught up in the fun that we normally forget.
Guess I have different priorities from Leann.
I hate when I get tagged in holiday photos. So unflattering lol
@matia – “I hate when I get tagged in holiday photos. So unflattering lol”
Oh *God*, I know!! I rarely end up in pictures, but whenever I do, it looks like whoever took it was *intentionally* trying to get the worst pic of me that they possibly could. A friend took a pic of my Mom & I at a tattoo convention, & I didn’t see it til later online… We both looked *totally* baked/wasted.
Did you see what she tweeted, along with the pick…”to new beginnings soon to come”! She is either pregnant, actively trying to get pregnant, or she is reading the master copy of Jennifer Annistan’s workbook, “how to keep the public wondering if you are pregnant, over and over and over again”!
maybe she’s talking about divorce (if all this gossip is accurate, lol. I lost count.)
It’s probably something about her career or music.
Agreed. She’s supposedly signing a new contract.
How is having a baby a “new beginning?” It’s the record contract.
@TheTruthHurts – Well, one could think of a *new life* as a ‘new beginning’… Or becoming a parent for the first time could definitely be considered a ‘new beginning’ (both for yourself & your relationship). Not that I think that’s what she was referring to, but I think she was intentionally vague so people would wonder.
Eddie and his mustache reminds me of Esteban Colberto, Stephen Colberto’s Latin “counterpart”. 🙂 http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/419301/september-20-2012/mitt-romney-s-hispanic-outreach—esteban-colberto
cute pic. Why don’t Brandi and Eddie split the holidays so the boys can be with both families?? My ex and I do that. We work our schedules around each family is eating/getting together. This way, our daughter can enjoy time with both sets. Must be hard to go through the whole holiday without your child(ren). 🙁
Because that would be too considerate, kind and convenient for the boy’s mom. Plus, SheMann and Eds would lose the opportunity to stick their partial custody of the boys in their mother’s face, thus causing her to feel additional pain and loss during the holidays. That would be way too considerate of the Squint Twins, and a lose-lose proposition for their end game of destroying Brandi.
Did Leann get some butt shots? Her rear end jutting out behind her is the first thing that I notice when I look at that first photo.
Nice for Rimes that the husband’s ex-wife has to make all the effort to get along with the new wife, and not the other way around. I believe Glanville when she says that she truly wants this, for her kids and her own peace of mind, regardless of the gossip fodder the contrary creates.
Too bad that she got stuck with a person like Rimes. Because it simply isn’t worth the effort. I mean, I hope she gets the kind of relationship that she wants, but it pisses me off that it’s going to require the amount of work it will. Rimes does not deserve that much understanding and compromise from the woman whose life she ruined.
And Eddie Cibrian. I keep asking this rhetorical question; is she really worth it? If it isn’t about the money, the financial security she gave you that you couldn’t attain on your own, then is it truly love? Really? Your dream come true; a luggage carrying, backstage lingering, functional marriage partnering, stay-at-home dad?
^This.
Well said.
Amen!
Very good points Theresa. I agree with everything you said.
oh please. Did it ever cross your mind that perhaps Eddie wanted to get away from the drunken slag that is his ex-wife? Of course he should have left her BEFORE he got together with Rimes… but please, people act as though brandi had nothing to do with the breakup. Just listening to her and seeing how she conducts herself, I can’t imagine and sane man WANTING to stay with her.
no one important, I can’t imagine anyone sane wanting to be with ANY of them!
No, not really because Eddie wanted to stay with Brandi and his boys and didn’t want to end the marriage. It was Brandi who threw him out and told him it was over. He’s with LeAnn only because she was the only one of his many girlfriends who had money and would support his sorry rear. What Eddie didn’t realize was with her money and being her houseboy came a life of living with crazy evil 24/7.
SO on point. Exactly.
I’m not buying what they are selling with these photos & am getting tired of this charade. They must be completely over it themselves.
Those are two very good looking kids, I hope this circus doesn’t impact them.
Those boys are absolutely gorgeous!
That was my first thought, too!! It’s a little hard to tell for the younger one just yet, but the older son is going to be a *major* heartbreaker pretty soon… Hopefully he doesn’t follow in his father’s footsteps in *that* regard.
Why does she need to share SO MANY pics of her SELF?!? She needs one of her and Eddie and the boys, one pf just her and Eddie, one of her and her friend there… She’s like a 13 year old! She must really see something different than reality when she looks at her own face, and think the world needs to be gifted with her image 24/7.
One would assume she does it for a couple of reasons:
1. To convince the whole world how lucky she is and how happy they all are. Apparently, she never received the memo that tells you when you overcompensate, you come off as disingenuous, ala “the lady doth protests too much.”
2. To spite to Brandi.
I think her craziness stems from a lot of insecurity on her part. Try hard.
I think she posts the photos because she truly believes her Twitter followers want to see what her “daily life” is like. Problem is, she forgets that half of her Twitter followers are robots she purchased and another 25 percent are haters.
nice to see ‘pornstache Ed’ and Darrell Irene-Sybil enjoying some time with their favorite paycheck
I read Just Say Jenn’s blog this morning and she says she’s “pulling back” from all this drama. She goes on to say that she’s tired of being fed information that is mostly false. Jenn’s a smart and experienced celebrity blogger so I don’t know if someone was feeding her information in an attempt to get her to discredit herself or she understood what was happening and played the game to expand readership. In any case, she appears to be withdrawing from the game or maybe ducking for cover as it appears her blinds and blogs are unraveling.
I am pretty sure that is not what she meant at all.
I read this Jen post and could not make heads or tails about what’s happened? Can anyone please expand ?
I took it to mean she is tired of all the bullcrap LR and her bullies are putting out there and of them all tweeting vicious garbage to her. A person can only take so much. LR is too stupid to get tired of it as she loves any attention. And she (LR) is against bullying when SHE and her minions are the biggest ones around!
I’ll second that. The blog was addressing the psychotic blog wars that various bloggers’ fans start on Twitter. It didn’t seem at all to do with bad tips or sources.
Pulling back now, quite convenient considering. Now that her book is published and available to buy.
My impression was that she’d had enough of the attacks and nastiness. She’s turned her life around with a lot of effort and this isn’t worth it to her. Guess time will tell.
She talked about her own past & mistakes? What are those ?
@Aussiegirl: She has a criminal history. Long story short, it’s related to theft and addiction. All the info is out there and she’s been up front about it. There are other bloggers whose fans go nuts on Twitter with constant attacks on her, constant rehashing of her past and putting out partially false information in order to discredit her.
Just went back and read JSJ’s blog the second time, and again I didn’t see a thing that said she was getting bad info or her blinds/blog was unraveling. I agree with the others. That is not why she said she was going to plug back on her posts. As Clarie said she’s just tried of the constant ugly attacks. Nothing more. Also, JSJ has been very upfront on her past history and trying her life.
Double post. Please delete.
Hi Rita, paid friend of LeAnns or is this LeAnn???
This not at all what she said, but YOU KEEP TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE MEANN AND EDIOT ARE STAYING MARRIED GURLLLLLLL! So pathetic!
Jenn is getting attacked by fans of a dead blogger that was popular in like 2009 named lynn hudson. I don’t think the leann rimes stuff is getting to her because they are fairly harmless these days. Its literaly like 50 yr old women coming after her. Its pathetic
Is this really Rita or someone using her name? Because Jenn did not mention anything about getting fed false information in her blog today. She had a blog a few days ago where she reiterates that she checked with her sources and believes the information she is told is solid. So….
It is exactly what Matia said above, she is getting attacked by fans of a dead blogger and Ilana Angel, a far less superior blogger, a hate blogger for that matter.
Yeah, does not seem like our usual Rita on here – who knows?
I never really believed any of Jen’s blinds. This ‘Jen’ seemed to come on the scene right from nowhere, out of left-field. As much as I don’t like Eddie and Leann I doubt very very strongly they will break up any time soon or are remotely having problems. This ‘Jen’ person is really suss, they came right out of left field and I sometimes wonder if they’re working for Leann putting out false info to ‘troll’ the haters/Brandi fans. I don’t trust this Jen person as far as I could throw a mansion. Not to mention they seem to believe Star is somewhat even remotely believable, no normal person would think that rag is less than 99% bs – there is something very wrong and suss about her. I think Leann is punking us with this Jen persona.
you keep telling yourself this Lola. There’s multiple sources reporting that Ediot and MeAnn are dunzo. It’s been over for a long time, he’s been cheating for a long time, there’s no PUNKING going on… Just plain ol KARMA slaps for Margaret.
Believe whatever you like, Lola, but you don’t have to read anything anyone writes but LeAnn’s Twitter account to know something has changed drastically in her life in the last couple months. She’s a different kind of desperate now, and it definitely has something to do with her man and her marriage. No one has to stage, pretend, and lie when they are truly happy. She’s not happy, because she knows he’s not and wants to end the marriage so several sources are reporting.
Hardly. LR went after Jenn’s day job last year.
@Lola – Of course, you’re welcome to have & express your opinion, even if the majority of us here disagree with you. But I have to be honest,*your comment* comes across a bit ‘suss’ to me… (Seriously, you couldn’t just *write* the word ‘specific’? ‘Suss’ sounds like something a teenager would say in a text message.)
You repeat yourself several times in your comment, calling her “this Jen” three times, saying she came “out of left field” twice, & saying she’s really “suss” twice. It’s been my experience that repetition is often a sign of a lot of emotion, & you sound entirely too ‘invested’ in the situation, if it’s just a gossip site talking about people you don’t know or supposedly even ‘like’ (& yet somehow ‘doubt very strongly’ that their marriage is ending *or* that they’re having *any* problems at all).
I just find your whole comment odd, & I don’t even *follow* or *read* JSJ’s site (& never have), so it’s not coming from some ‘loyalty’ to her.
Uh Huh, Maybe your the one “out of left field” dearie. “Suss” Laughable.
I can’t see no wedding ring on Eddie’s ring finger. My opinion is that this was a obligatory photo, he came around with the kids and his parents, for Leanne’s saving face Thanksgiving farce shoot. I wouldn’t be shocked if he, the kids and his parents spent no more than an hour at Leanne’s for the pictures, eat, collect the check for the photos and then left. The missing ring makes me think he is living at his parents. I don’t care about him, just get the kids away from her.
This woman never stops. At first it was quite interesting and fun in a macabre sort of way. But Im bored, nauciated and done.
She knows all the gossip fodder out there (duh sugar) so she amps up that fodder with her tweets like the empty campsite chair picture. Everyone is being lead to believe this couple is on the verge of a d-i-v-o-r-c-E ….everyone speculates chatter chatter chatter she posts picture of Thanksgiving with the appearance of alls well with the Cibrian marriage.
I kinda feel after the last few weeks on blogs & twitter then seeing these photos on top of reading the fox article with Brandi that’s it’s
been head games with this group & my head is kinda over it. Its fun to read & talk smack about them but I got a bit too invested on twitter ( not to the level of LeAnn) and feel I was buying into the hype of imminent break up. And so for that…
LeAnn is evil. Eddie almost had my sympathy only because he bit off a little more crazy then he could chew. That in itself tells me a lot about him that he could almost get me to forget what he did to the mother of his children & feel sorry for him because of his current situation. Dude you deserve your misery …have some more it’s thanksgiving weekend we all over indulge.
Brandi in her interview gave me more insight into what’s really going on & that these two yahoos are together and we probably are being played all for that stoopid reality show.
Rita I am thinking you were quite right!!!
I wonder if she realizes that the only reason people read posts about her is to gauge just how far her craziness has gone on that particular day. She’s like a train wreck. You don’t want to look, but you do. For the most part I just feel irritation and sadness for the fact that she seems so insecure and mentally off.
Did anyone see that crazy pic of LR from her last concert? I swear she was channeling Janis Joplin.
Barf; the kids are so cute though and actually look pretty happy. I wish Eddie would shave the mustache off, though, and that LeAnn would go away to a deserted island with no paps.
Poor girl is darned if she do, darned if she don’t.
Ya poor wench, she’s such a victim in all this after all. Can’t wait for the karma train to run her over….
Dude. You are over the top vicious about this broad.
Seriously?? You talk about karma but wishing ill will on someone will bring u bad karma. Dumb a$$
I stand by what I say. She’s loathsome and shoved this affair in everyone’s face. Feel free to think I’m a b*tch, but she’s the real one. 🙂 You paid friends are just doing what you’re supposed to do by commenting to me. It’s all good.
I will NEVER understand how you explain to your kids “this is the woman your father cheated on me with while she was married to someone else . now go stand in front of a tree with that selfish ho and be merry.”
“Kids, she bullied and tormented Mommy, too. But don’t worry, she bought us presents!”
“And paid her fans to publish web blogs with cartoons wishing their mommy’s death! Oh and how about those nice gun toting photos your stepmom published with the implied threats to your mommy.
And when she stalked your family while your parents were still together, moving into your neighborhood, going to your school, almost running over mommy while stalking her!”
These are not the first children this has happened to. Some children accept the “other woman” as part of their fathers’ and their lives and some don’t.
Pretty sure most other mistresses have the humility to not try to co-opt the kids and not bully the ex.
Absolutely beautiful boy children! GET READY, Brandi! It is crazy out there for boys!
My 15 year old is gorgeous (if I do say so myself!:-) and we have learned that young ‘ladies’ these days are few and far between! It can be difficult to help young man navigate adolescence with such a smorgasbord of available and willing gals – together with peer pressure from his male counterparts who push for him to have sex with as many/as often as possible and the constant onslaught of images of females in the media that are not representative of the way women really look, it is hardcore!
Our son just told us that guys who are sexually active at his school have a higher social status, while the girls who are even rumored to be active are at a much LOWER social rung. He was surprised to hear that was how it has always been.
Its definitely quality over quantity when it comes to women! Hope your son (who sounds gorgeous!) understands that treating women respectfully (even when they don’t respect themselves a lot these days) will get him a reputation for being nice and gentlemanly and the nice girls will flock to him! Much better than the alternative.
They can play happy family, but I don’t think that they are happily married. She tries way too hard to press the point and Eddie only looks truly happy when there is liquor involved. The kids are adorable and their happiness is all that really matters in the end. If they have a lot of people who really love them, all the better. Hopefully there will be less drama between their parents and their step-mother can get a grip and live in reality and in private, instead of playing the role of woman with the perfect life on social media, who exploits them as part of her agenda. I know that people really want Eddie to leave her, but why would he? He can cheat, never work, live luxuriously on her dime and she’ll accept it rather than admit she bagged a loser. Being married and a Father won’t stop him from doing what comes naturally to him. Being a douche. Eddie’s number one priority will always be Eddie and he won’t move on until it suits him.
ITA with you about Juan Valdez here. He’s a douchy malicious user who will only leave when the money is right. Or if he thinks that he can somehow resurrect a career without her.
Goodluck Mr. Gigalo Sponge. Your best role is that of purse holder to miss crazy horse the psycho who stalks your ex and torments your kids.
So their Thanksgiving is being filmed for their non-reality show? And WTF is with already having a Christmas tree up? Oh…so they can film more crap for the non-reality show.
Exactly. It was staged and nothing more. It was no doubt a big money day for Eddie to pretend, pose, and have his children and parents there, or it would have never happened. I seriously doubt they were there over fifteen minutes tops.
Once again, leave it to Leann to post pictures bragging about her new family, snuggling those boys as if they were hers and thrusting all of this in Brandi’s face. Brandi spent Thanksgiving alone watching a movie while all this went on. I think of all these photo-ops as a bag of salt to rub into the wound s the she created when she got involved with Eddie. This kind of c*** would drive me to madness if I was the boys’ mother.
I don’t think it’s LR’s place to tweet and/or retweet photos of the kids.
Why do I keep getting the feeling with these two that LeAnn thinks sex = love? Whilst ever he’s doing the biz, she thinks it must be love?? I don’t get the vibe that there is much love coming from Eddie, except for the love of her money. So sad that children are caught up in this nastiness.
Something doesn’t add up here. No one loses that much weight in their face in one week.
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/2996323/leann-rimes-eddie-cibrian-women-guild-annual-gala-12/
Eddie looks more like a year ago when he grew the mustache for Movember.
I agee. And her eyes look as though she was crying in the Darrell photo of the two of them.
I’m thinking this was filmed, Eddie, his parents and the children came over for obligatory dinner, and left.
This picture represents everything that can go wrong in a “blended” family. Two innocent children caught in the middle, a cheating father, a mistress turned step mom and the actual mother absent from this photo and alienated from her children on a holiday. Very sad.
I think their marriage is troubled although I am not sure a divorce is imminent. Leann should understand by now no one gets the warm and fuzzies when they see her “family” photos. They are a huge put off. She should live her nasty life and ill gotten gains quietly.
Hello everyone,
First off I hope I will not be too far off in stating that both Leann and Brandi are equally beautiful. I have seen pictures of both ladies during good days and not-so-good days and I think they both have their stunning features. I don’t write on blogs because when I have (few occasions regarding Obama or national news) some people turn negative, and on some occasions (thankfully not regarding my post) say truly hatful things. I have been following this triangle since it began a couple of years ago but is never wrote anything even during times I felt it might be justified. While I was never a fan of either of the ladies involved however I have come around and quite honestly look forward to the stories. I do not dispise either lady and I don’t really find the man entertaining however he is quite handsome. I never really believed any of the stories or blinds and I really look to this triangle as pure entertainment value. In fact, I was so entertatained and as a result opened a twitter account for info.
However, really as I believe is that in the past couple of years that the two women actually get along with each other and may have reached a subtle agreement or understanding (on one another’s part) that they have each other’s consent to do what ever is necssacary to stay relevant , and/or to compete on the reality show market. I believe they are using their shared notariaty as the vehicle to extend their 15 minutes or so to speak.
I also believe that this triangle working its angles to the very max, much more than I have witnessed any on ther celebrity thus far. While it may not have started as like I believe, the endgame will finish this way and both camps are playing hard and staying relevent …I am the perfect example! I never cared about reality until these forked can along. Brandi started this relevancy game as I believe a means to income given the divorce which I can sympahise with. No one should have to experience something so hurtful and for that fact that Brandi endavord for so long and became a household name …very well played! With regards to Leann and Eddie I believe they came late t his game however hey are now playing along and staying relevant. Again, I have no dog in this “fight” so to speak because I genially like both ladies and can recognize the hard work involved and overcoming divorce, pain, misery, feeling alone, love, love-loss and embarrassment, and feeling like shit.
While I feel like what happened to Brandi was quite possibly the worst anyone can experience wih divots and loss of love and family (in lou of physical pain or other abuse instances) I believe she has come to turms with what and how all has transpired and has used this media and a great phinancial gain, now and for the future where she will ultemetly become quite a success for their unique branding and style independent of he love triangle and she deserves all the success that will come to her and she is hellbent at that and most importantly will work her ass ff in attaining it.
And Leann and Eddie will also do the same and I also believe that their marriage is strong, albeit far from perfect as she made wish (we all would if we were in a similar position) they are and will be together for a long time and that they love each other very much and both invested in their relationship and family. I also believe that while Leann did Brandi wrong I believe she really has the best interest for the boys and is trying to make good with them.

HUH?
I’m sorry for the confusion everyone. was working off some bad eating habits over the holiday and I was on the treadmill so I apologize for the the grammatical & spelling errors (a lot if iPhone auto correct didn’t help either). I was just trying to communicate my view of the situation, all the while not going on for too long. I really like everyone involved and all the hard work involved in the reality game. I enjoy the back-and-fourth, it’s like a soap opera to me. What I mean is, I know the people are real but there is a later of acting and hyped up drama that is truly entertaining. I respect the effort on the part of this triangle and their ability to stay relevant this long …independent of Anngelina and Jennifer, there is no other celebrity in my mind that works harder that this group, particularly Brandi. I truly respect how far she has come and how sussesful she has become. She started as a former model, turned stay at home wife and mother who had to pick herself up and provide for herself and children. I really respect her for having that strength and “balls” to do that all. I don’t have sides but I really think that out of this triangle, Brandi has worked harder and achieved so much more success and status. While Leann has been a talented singer since a teen, she really took a nosedive since her pairing of her and Eddie but I believe that she has made some efforts in order to redeem herself …I think what she and Eddie did was regards to Brandi and Dean was quite crass and hurtful but I think that both wronged partners have since moved on to much success (Brandi in her many endeavors) and love (Dean has since found love and married …to a lady btw, as I never believed the gay rumors about him. He seems like a lovely and sensitive man who truly loved his then wife and really wanted to believe she was faithful to him at that time) so I can move on and feel justified with the public humiliation of Leann & Eddie’s union.
However …….please don’t react to harshly to my next statement because I really enjoy and respect the posters on here like: Rita, Hakura, Truth Hurts, Jane, Izzy and many more (I also miss Elline, sorry for spelling) however:
When will everyone move on? I’m not trying to be insensitive to Beandi and all she went through. She is quite a fighter and from my impression she is in a better place and is glad not to have a cheat in her life. She is sussesful (much more than she was when married to her husband) she is even more beautiful then before, has a great family and great girlfriend and has a very bright future. The downside is her having to share her boys for half the time but u wonder if she would have these opportunities to fog ill her dreams if she had them 100% of the time and if she would be just as fulfilled in her life and dreams? I don’t know but, from what I can see, I believe the boys are very well cared and loved for when with their dad’s and his wife. I think that Leann will never take her place as their mom and although she tries I don’t think Brandi has to ever concern herself with that notion. Brandi is mom, Eddie is dad and Leann is their stepmom as Eddie chose to marry her and give her that a legal title …but that is all that is just a title. No disrespect to either party but that is a fact and no one can take that away from Brandi and Leann must understand that while Eddie is responsible for giving her that title …he can also take it away if they divorce and she has that to think about, but I think she already knows this and that is part if the reason she is overcompensating. Plus any woman would have a hard time seeing the connection Brandi have with their mom and she wants it too …anyone would, it’s only human. No excuses though how she has behavior toward Brand however I think she is starting to understand why she is so vilified and us making done effort in her handeling this situation (or I hope she will).
Ok, to wrap this up, I like Brandi, I like Leann, I don’t care for Eddie either way. I believe Brandi has moved on from the divorce, she is at times crass in how she speaks but I like her regardless and think she is a great friend and mom and business woman.
Leann is a talented singer who will forever be know as a adulter who contributed to a divorce that had the potential to destroy a fellow human and brick up a family. She has been public ally humiliated and will be forever branded as such and rightfully so …but hopefully everyone can move on and forgive. Life is messy, people are only human and make mistakes and some learn their true strength while it’s happening to them. No excuses but let’s move on. gets at time. posters against Leann and Eddie but I have come to moving on.

@ Ajkmommy–Double HUH!!!
Did you have a few too many Thanksgiving shots of Tequila before you wrote that comment?
triple huh?
OMG. Someone get the dart gun. 🙁
@Ajkmommy (Aka Diana) – Well, you certainly have a…. ‘unique’ perspective on the situation. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone speak positively of both women. At one point, early on in the mess that’s become their ‘triangle’, I may have been able to agree with you.
But I just couldn’t get around all the ‘SWF-ing’ Leann started doing… And she didn’t even do it in a *subtle* enough way (or infrequently enough) to *deny* that she was pretty much *stalking* Brandi, setting out (even after having successfully gotten Eddie) to continue proving she was somehow ‘better’ or ‘more attractive’ by wearing the same outfits to spur a comparison, making sure she was seen & pictures would be taken, so Brandi would likely see them.
All these creepy things… Including the very inappropriate PDA between she & Eddie in front of the children. I could go on, but as you said, you know the whole story. I’m not discouraging you from sharing your opinion, however.
“Diana” get a freaking life.
That’s really rude.
Why the hell is she wearing upholstery? That dress is awful. Just FUG.
She is just staying on trend for her. Left to her own style choices when not SWFing Brandi she fails 99%.9 of the time.
She has worn it in pics posted on her Twitter before. It is very heavy pattern, but I found it appropriate for the holiday.
So Leann attends parent-teacher conferences. WTF?
I think it is so strange. What could she add to the discussion? I only am allowed to see biological or adopted parents at conferences. I would hate to deal with her for 20 minutes. I could hear now, “Enough talking about Jake and Mason. Let’s talk about meeeee!”
I and my husband and my son’s father have always attended all his events/conferences together. We’re all equally involved with his schooling.
My son is now a senior in high school and it’s been that way since pre-school.
What a nice looking family. I like the scruffy look myself. I hope Brandi gets help.
Of course LeAnn would go to parent teacher conferences. When/if Brandi remarries or is in a committed partnership, I hope that person cares enough to be involved, too. I’m sorry Brandi was the one who got the most hurt out of this but LeAnn and Eddie seem to be working out and the time is appropriate to move on with life, and it looks like Brandi is thinking that too as her autonomy has returned. Speculation is fun; that’s why conspiracy theories are so popular. But nobody knows what’s going on. LeAnn and Eddie both go without their rings sometimes; that means nothing. I know lots of people who post pics of themselves nearly every day on social media; that’s their interest so why spend so much energy speculating? A lot of celebrity relationships have come together like they did, this one just got more publicity. I doubt Eddie, LeAnn, or Brandi had acted much differently than any of them.
Um, no. As a person with a family and stepfamily, and having bio and step family members currently, I have never heard of someone doing what Leann does. Attempting to take over the ex’s life, attempting to become the third parent, making decisions for children who aren’t hers, selling images of children who aren’t hers, making out with the kids’ father in front of them and their friends, not contacting the mother of the children whose father you’re dating when they get hurt at your home but announcing it to the world on Twitter, taking the kids on vacation and not allowing their mother to contact them, having your fans and employees bully the kids’ mother and doing so yourself while being around the kids and letting these vile people around them…. what stepparent do you know? My brother in law is secure enough in his relationship to allow my sister in law and her exes to coparent. He doesn’t show up at parent-teacher conferences, but he helps with homework. He co-enforces the rules of their home, but he leaves the discipline to the boys’ dads and my SIL. I have never in my life seen the crap pulled by Leann by any other stepparent, and they didn’t enter the kids’ lives through the deceit and nastiness she did. And that’s not even pointing out her bragging that the boys sing songs about their dad’s betrayal that she helped write and teaches them.
Great summary! Isn’t it scary that you could give so many more examples of her awfulness?
Jennifer, exactly. LeAnn was going to the children’s school and trying to join the PTA there when she was not even married to the children’s Dad. You can bet, too, as long as she is married to Eddie she will never ever give up trying to undermine and out do their Mother or trying to make them her children.
Ugh, please. That people think she’s a caring stepmother drives me insane. Not only does my BIL have to deal with TWO exes, but they’re different races (their kids look different from my nephews). There’s a lot of opportunity to be jerks, but everyone tries to put the kids first. No one tries to undermine anyone’s parents and no one tries to act as though they have a role they don’t have. And that’s with coming in normally, not, hey, I’ve been sleeping with your daddy and I’m your family now. I can’t stand Leann.
Occasionally I check LeAnn’s Twitter to witness the crazy with my own eyes and I have noticed that while having about 499 thousand followers, she gets surprisingly few retweets and favourites. People with less followers get much more attention than her.
That says something ….
Great point Teresa_Marie!
I also noticed that it looks like she put her alleged fake baby bump on backwards in the photos. Maybe trying to get attention as the next Kim Kardashian?
I just really don’t know what to think any more. Brandi did tweet the other day that her and Eddie are in a good place now (which I found interesting) and he did let her spend a few hours with the kids the day before Thanksgiving. While I would like to believe that he has had a change of heart and decided to be a nice guy, I truly believe it is all just damage control as both he and Leann try frantically to rehab their horrible image. I would imagine her money is getting low, and since he never had any, they have to do something to try and turn their image around and make some serious money. I do not believe that divorce is imminent or that he is living at his parents house. I do believe that he does whatever he wants with whoever he wants whenever he wants and she chooses to still pretend they have a great love and marriage. I believe Brandi was totally accurate in her book when she talked about looking in a crystal ball into Leann’s future and seeing her heart broken and suffering the same fate that Brandi did. Men like him get their validation through being able to attract women on a constant basis. That is not going to change just because he married fugly Leann Rimes. If anything it has probably gotten worse because he now has the time and money to do some serious courting. By the way, I am curious as to what has become of Leann’s proclaimed bff Lizzy? She never mentions her any more.
This pretty much sums up what I think is going on. He’s going to do what he pleases, yet he’ll likely take whatever lifestyle and goodies this marriage brings with it. He may make threats to go, but I will be surprised if he divorces anytime soon.
I would not be surprised if going to the parents’ house isn’t a new code for “boys’ trips” or whatever it was he called his little absences during his previous marriage.
I was looking at the picts & Lemann looks just like her mom!! Eddie in a few years that’s what you will be waking up to! (YIKES & GAG) if I were you I would run & FAST!!!!
Dear Lord, people… I just caught the list of performers for the Hollywood Christmas Parade. Leann is scheduled.

While Leann has been a talented singer since a teen, she really took a nosedive since her pairing up with Eddie but I believe that she has made some efforts in order to redeem herself but she still has much more work ahead of her. With regards to how she and Eddie and how they got together …no excuse, and everything that transpired via media and the empress intent the ensued was justified and appropriate for their actions. They was both equally responsible and have hurt both Brandi and Dean. I am happy to know that since this affair occurred each wronged partners have moved on and are in a better place. Brandi in success (thru her many endeavors) and love as is the case for Dean (he is happily married and is achieving much career success. Oh and I never believed the gay rumors about him. He seems like a lovely and sensitive man who truly loved his then wife and really wanted to believe she was faithful to him at that time) so I can move on and feel justified with the public humiliation of Leann and Eddie’s union.
However …please don’t react to harshly to my next statement because I really enjoy and respect the posters and their views on here like: Rita, Hakura, Truth Hurts, Jane, Izzy and many more (I also miss Elline, sorry for spelling) however may I respectfully ask a simple question?
When will everyone move on from this? Me? I don’t mind it continuing since I know much of it is not real in terms of true feeling however I really feel for the folks that are really invested in this triangle and in the divorce of this ill matched union. I think people have an emotional response because of a similar experience or can plainly see how wrong one side is and they want to contribute in some way to feel justified but I don’t think it’s healthy in any regard. Not for Brandi (people constantly reminding her if the hell she went thru, it’s not healthy for Leann who may or may not have a mental disorder and not healthy for everyone on here who really dispise Leann and Eddie for what occurred. Perhaps its the feeling justified in their own way. I don’t know so I will conceded this point and move on.
Oh and please understand that I in no way want to come off as insensitive to Beandi and all she went through. She is quite a fighter and from my impression of her she is in a better place and is glad not to have a cheat in her life anymore. She is sussesful (much more than she was when married to her husband) she is even more beautiful then before, has a great family and great girlfriends to depend in and have her best intentions in mind and has a very bright future. The downside is her having to share her boys for half the time but I wonder if she would have these opportunities to fifill her her dreams if she had to care for the boys 100% of the time and if she would be just as fulfilled in her life and dreams? I don’t know so I will concede this point as well and from what I can see, I believe the boys are very well cared and loved for when with their dad and his wife.

Plus any woman would have a hard time seeing the connection Brandi has with their mom and she wants it too …anyone would, it’s only human. No excuses though! How she has behavior towards Brand, however she is starting to understand why she is so vilified in the publics eye and is making an effort in her handeling this situation (or I hope she will).

She has been publically humiliated for this and will be forever branded as such and rightfully so …but hopefully everyone can move on and forgive. Life is messy, people are only human and make mistakes (some royally, as in the case of Leann and Eddie) and must accept the consequences if their actions and behavior while others learn their true strength while it’s happening to them (obviously speaking about Brandi). No excuses but let’s move on, or at least be in the same page and realism most if this drama is reality mangyfactired and not real. It’s a soap drama and perhaps we can forgive personal hurt and resentment in our hearts and beging healing a past event or the judgment of such an event.

The boys are really coming into their good looks.
Is LeAnn part Native American? Does anyone know? Does she even know?
@TinyTurtle I respect what you are saying, but I still need to follow the strict rules of my district. Parents need to sign into the building and match what names we have on record. Teachers must only speak to biological or adopted parents at conferences. Each teacher signed a form at the beginning of the school year stating we would abide by these rules. If Leann strutted herself into my building demanding a conference I would gladly adhere to my district’s standards and tell her no and my principal and assistant principal would support me plus ensure that I say such. Personally, I would like to avoid going before the board of education with the possibility of losing my job if I disregarded the direct order. My district is THAT strict. Maybe it is different elsewhere. We have to agree to disagree.
