LeAnn Rimes: ‘I have proven… to myself that I can love a child who’s not mine’

wenn21571369

Star Magazine has an exclusive interview with LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian in this week’s print edition. I guess LeAnn and Eddie made the tabloid rounds this week, because Life & Style is also claiming an exclusive. Some of the quotes from the piece are just rehearsed talking points we’ve heard many times before (“we’re doing this because we wanted to work together again!”), but there’s some new stuff. And I should note that in the prelude to the interview, Star Mag claims that Eddie and LeAnn are “still hounded by scandal, especially with Eddie’s jilted ex, Brandi Glanville, happy to needle them at every turn.” Meow! Some highlights:

LeAnn on why they’re doing the show: “I think what people want to see is the way we interact with each other, and that’s the honesty of the show. There is nothing scripted. We want people to get a whole different side of us and to laugh.”

LeAnn on coping with scrutiny: “We have gone through hell and back to be together and blend a family. We’ve gone to therapy to learn how to communicate better because we don’t want to screw with the kids. It has made us better and our marriage stronger.”

Eddie on their sex life: “It’s very healthy.”

LeAnn on their sex life: “We keep it interesting… I think it’s awesome. After this many years, I’m still enjoying it, so it’s very good.”

Whether she is open to adoption: “I’m totally cool with adopting. I love kids, period. I have proven many times over to myself that I can love a child who’s not mine. It would be great to have a child I can myself and Eddie in, but there are a lot of children who need to be loved too, and we’ve talked about both.”

Eddie on adopting: “I’m totally up for adopting.”

LeAnn on Eddie being at home while she tours & makes money: “I never look at it as ‘Oh I’m going out to support my family and I need to pay the bills.’ We don’t worry about money, but we keep an eye on it, especially with my shoe buying!”

Eddie on being at home while she tours: “Artists tour because that’s where they get revenue, and she really enjoys going out and performing.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

There’s so much delusion here. So many lies too. How many times is LeAnn going to lie about whether the VH1 reality show is scripted or not? How many times is she going to play fast and loose with just how “honest” they are? As for their sex life… Eddie describes it in vague terms as “healthy” (not “good” or “amazing”) and LeAnn… I always feel bad for LeAnn on the sexual front. I think the reason she stalked Eddie and basically forced his marriage to end was because Eddie was the first guy to ever bang her properly. She’s still riding that high. And it’s made her extra-crazy.

    “I have proven to myself that I can love a child that is not mine”

    Congrats LeAnn, but Eddie is not a child…….in the conventional sense of adolescence.

    • Cheryl says:

      Cackle! Good one!
      This comment redeems the empty waste of time of opening this post…

    • Sea Dragon says:

      My first thought Rita.

    • starfish says:

      Yep, Eddie, is the child, both of their minds are like 14 year olds. No way did he turn down a starring role in Dallas to stay home with a closet drinker and a fake lifestyle that she portrays. The house they filmed in does not belong to them, that’s the 1st lie.

      She cheated at the ATV race from what has been reported, she has cheated all her life, first suing her Dad, dentist, stalked a person on a closed twitter account, etc.

      Heaven forbid they have or adopt a child. CPS would really need to be involved with all of this, the way she uses Brandi’s children as her own. Seriously, she is off in the head.

      Chit casino tours and washed up back alley singers are a dime a dozen. Real talent does not talk on stage for half of their concert night. If she is bawling on stage, it’s time for venues to pull the plug on her.

      • NewWester says:

        Eddie was up for a part on Dallas?

      • Lucinda says:

        I think he might have. There were some rumors he was up to replace someone on the show who was having serious problems. However, I don’t know if the rumors were true or something started by L&E.

    • chris says:

      Lol. Luv it. Why can’t she GI a way. Live your life in private. She is such a freak

  2. Brin says:

    These two have jumped the shart. Go away.

  3. Tracy says:

    There is nothing scripted??? But previously she said it was scripted. Oh Lieann….

    • Sonia says:

      It will be ‘scripted’ when Brandi takes him to court for ‘turning down work’ but it will be ‘real’ when he says he loves Leanne!

      • betty says:

        Brandi could not have anything better then to watch these trainwrecks on their show. For those that think Brandi is tactless and classless, These two have taken her crown. They are a laughing stock. For an actor Eddie is not even convincing in his sincerity no wonder he can’t find work and Leann is just pathetic, Why don’t they adopt since she wants kids, Eddie claims he is open , He is an open to another kid as he is to another job. LOL!

    • chris says:

      This was scripted. No way in hell Eddie supposedly turning down his little acting job on that show. It was discussed prior to. No way in hell would nutcase LeeAnn would allow eddie out if her site for 7 months. Now if he would have taken it and she was in with it then I would have scratched my head . LeAnn knows Eddie could not keep Hus hand off a hit chic if he had the chance. Liars

  4. Regarded says:

    I love how unenthusiastic Eddie sounds lol.

  5. OrangeBlohan says:

    In that top pic, she looks like she was about to “sit in something” again.

  6. Anon says:

    This whole article makes me sad and i am not a fan of any of them. I just think its time to leave them all alone and let all three burn out.. Let them do there tit for tat. I never thought I would say that but I do think its time.

    • Jayna says:

      I agree. I’ve lost interest in the three of them. They will move on and it will be what it is. None of them are saints and are all irritating for different reasons. Nothing ever changes, but they can all move on and I’m leaving them alone. I’ve lost interest in posting much anyway,

      • starfish says:

        I agree to a point, when she stops using the kids for her insane posting late night rants, people will stop. I would cut a B##ch if she did this to MY kids.

    • Josephina says:

      I agree.

      • floridaseaturtle says:

        Me too. Long, time reader, infrequent commentor. Although I am amazed that she hasn’t figured out that she needs to seriously, seriously stop bringing up the subject of the affair, hence inviting the hurled tomatoes. But I wouldn’t want to add to some epic breakdown. I often wonder why she continues since she seems to pay attention to the blogs so much, and people are begging her to shut up about it. If I were her publicist, agent or whatever, I would demand that she practice this new response re: the affair.
        “I regret allowing the situation to be so public. Moving forward, I would like to downplay the unfortunate negative, and focus on the positive present. ” (smile nicely and sincerely as possible, and say no more).
        How’s that?

      • Jenny12 says:

        She’d have to cancel her entire affair-based, Brandi bashing show, then.

    • Regarded says:

      I agree. It was funny at first to witness how crazy she is, but it’s getting old and just plain sad now. This woman is delusional and it’s obvious that Eddie is manipulating her.
      There’s a lot of division on this site about whether you’re pro-Brandi or pro-Leann. But honestly I think that’s irrelevant because Eddie is by far the worst in this situation.

      • Lucinda says:

        He really is the ultimate scumbag. I do think Leann is mentally ill. I also think she is mean. Eddie is using her illness and insecurities to his advantage of course. However, it’s hard not to keep commenting on all this when they keep approaching media and putting it out there so constantly. The comments on this site are pretty tame compared to what I’ve seen other places in regard to Leann.

    • betty says:

      Why? aren’t they the ones keep putting out there. If they wanted that they would not be making fools of themselves with foolish articles and that show. They will burn out alright after that show,there will nothing left but ashes,

  7. Aussie girl says:

    So true saying Eddie was the first guy to bang her good making her bat shit cray

    • starfish says:

      Leann talks about sex in many interviews, wonder what she does at home in front of the boys. Ewww!

      They are young lads Leann, they are not your little’s, stop Leann, stop

      The show was a huge flop again last night..

      • Byte Me says:

        Well if she’s talking about sex that much then I’m thinking she’s not getting much at all.

  8. Christin says:

    Scriptality is now complete reality, eh?

  9. GeeMoney says:

    Enough with these two already! I think I’d rather read a Kim Kardashian article than read about LeAnn and Eddie.

  10. Lady says:

    What was she a sociopath beforehand? Its really easy to love a child that isn’t yours.

    • ol cranky says:

      it kind of irked me that she said it’s easy to love a child that’s not yours in reference to adopting. when you adopt a child, s/he is your child, just not your biological child.

      as for her being a sociopath beforehand, this is a girl who was recorded on some egotistical rant when she was suing her dad

  11. FingerBinger says:

    Why are they talking about their sex life.? All I can picture them doing is squinting and LeAnn tweeting about it.

  12. kpoodle says:

    Can someone PLEASE clue her in to the actual definition of “blended family”??? She has no children, therefore they are NOT a “blended family”.

    • KatieD says:

      Thank you! Leann’s use of that phrase irritates me…it’s pet peeve of mine to hear people using words or phrases incorrectly.

    • CAJ says:

      I’m sorry, but being in a step role is no easy task. There is no thank you for helping raise someone else’s kids. She gets a pass from me on that.

      BTW, the actual definition is including children from a previous marriage from one spouse or both. (Merriam-Webster)

      • Jezi says:

        As a parent you don’t expect thank you’s either. It’s your job as a parent since they’re your kids. I didn’t have children to expect appreciation. As a stepmother you put yourself in that role, you’re not forced to be there. And I’m a stepmom as well. If you’re expecting thank you’s in either role than that’s just sad.

      • CAJ says:

        Not from the kids, no.

        But I expect mature women to be mature to one another.

      • Jezi says:

        But Leann hasn’t been mature in any situation. Sleeping with a married man while married was the first immature thing she did. Respecting boundaries is the number one priority of a step parent. If you can’t do that then there can not be a positive coparenting situation.

      • TexasTexasTexas says:

        Step-mom here. I don’t have children myself, but we definitely have a blended family. My stepsons gained new aunts, uncles, grandma, etc who love them deeply.

  13. mrspatrickbateman says:

    So tomorrow she is going to be performing at my local amusement park. Admission is free with your ticket or pass to the park, I think I may have to go see this.

    • Arock says:

      That’s so sad. So, so, sad.
      She just preformed near here at the county fair, we went to the Bad Religion show and she was up in the roster for the next week. I don’t even know if anyone went.
      Next up in her professional career- car dealership openings, opening for childrens entertainers, posing by casino billboards.

    • Christin says:

      At least you can enjoy the park if she doesn’t show up or it ends up being unbearable.

    • Tracy says:

      Oh dear…

    • Nan says:

      She performed at the OC fair last night. Out of 8,000 seats, only 1500 bought, most were actually given away. The stands were almost empty.

    • Jem says:

      I’m just guessing here, but I imagine that Eddie doesn’t accompany her to these sad venues and share the humiliation with her. It is her obsession for HIM that she’s trainwrecked her career, and I’ll bet he lets her face that by herself while he’s out spending the rest of her fortune and banging other women…

      • Byte Me says:

        I think Ed mostly accompanies her when she performs in casinos since it’s been reported that he has a bit of a gambling addiction.

    • starfish says:

      If it’s a free yodel, just talk about the howling she does. She talks about Eddie and her failed music more than she sings.

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      An amusement park? There is nothing amusing about her or her putrid yodeling. I think her appearances at the Zoo were more fitting.

  14. lem says:

    uhhh saying you could adopt b/c you “know you could love a child that is not your own” is a key indicator that YOU SHOULDN’T ADOPT. jesus she is dense.

  15. stacey says:

    Leann looks at least 20lbs heavier on the latest episode of her reality show. When she comes home drunk and uses her TEETH to open the tub of ice cream, I cringed. No WONDER her teeth are so messed up!!

    I was so grossed out when she ate her ice cream and talked with her mouth full and licked her fingers and tried to use her baby voice and sweet talk Eddie. BARF!!! She’s a mess in this episode! I had to turn the TV off at this point because she was she was so Gross

    • Tracy says:

      I haven’t watched the show but I believe she looks heavier because this mess was taped a year ago. It took them quite a while to pull together enough useable footage for the 6 or 8 episodes that they have.

      • georgie says:

        Yep, it was taped last year. I didn’t watch either, but she tweeted everything in show, as they taped it.

    • Debi says:

      I agree. I’m still tramatized from having to see that. Drunk, eating ice cream, talking with mouth open and then they kiss?! Soooo gross. I think she actually thinks being gross is cute. It’s disgusting.

    • starfish says:

      Fake teeth can be replaced, that’s why she is always at the dentist. I wonder if she has sets of dentures made.

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      Stacey,

      I don’t know how you ever managed to watch that drivel without losing brain cells, going blind and losing your hearing. That show should come with a warning.

  16. claire says:

    Oh FFS, they seriously need to stop changing whether it’s scripted or not in every interview they do. Pick one! The real one! And Eddie, 3-4 shows spread out over a month is not touring.

    • Christin says:

      He says touring is where the money is. True, except how can a performer make much money when playing mostly casinos and small venues with lots of unsold seats? The seating charts for recent concerts has shown more seats available than not.

      • Jen says:

        I worked for a concert promoter for years and I can explain this one: Artists are paid a flat rate to perform, it is the promoters income that is on the line. If they can’t sell the tickets then the promoter is S.O.L. It is industry standard to pay a deposit to the artist when the gig is booked and then the remaining balance is paid to the tour manager as soon as the artist takes stage to perform. So, if she books a show and then cancels she still got paid the booking deposit (most artist contracts are designed this way/standard with major artist representation). Casino and State Fair gigs don’t depend on the ticket sales, they just need added incentive for people to want to come gamble or pay the entry fee/ride fees. I promise you, she’s making some good income just from the bookings. All of this negative attention is actually making her relevant and ensures that she gets future bookings…so, there’s that. We’re all putting money into her pockets by paying attention to her.

      • claire says:

        @Jen: That’s kinda awful to hear that she can book then cancel all these shows and still take their money. Scam artists, those two are.

      • Christin says:

        Jen, thank you for the background. It’s a shame the venues end up on the hook in some cases, but I suppose it is buyer beware when booking an act.

      • starfish says:

        She might get a flat fee, but casino gigs do not pay that well. If her seats are not filled, the casino’s will not book her again. Many have complained about her performance, so look for these gigs to dry up.

      • FLORC says:

        Agree with Jen 100% from working on the entertainment side of fairs and concert grounds/booking. They get paid well. Does depend on the contracts though. Some will pay after services performed. Others upfront and before the event.

      • Nan says:

        @Jen thanks I always wondered that myself. What I will say, and this is from watching her venues that she’s booked and actually showed up to, very poor sales, they can’t even give away tickets. Her OC fair venue last night 8,000 seats were on sale, 1500 sold, half left before she took stage. A friend went to check it out. Even with the drama surrounding her is not helping her ticket sales.
        Pre results from their show last night on VH1 it didn’t even register on the top 100 shows, where as last week it did, but still low ratings. I’m still waiting on final results from Cableratings/Nielsen.

  17. Jess says:

    What? She has said multiple times that it’s “scripted reality”, now there’s nothing scripted?? They obviously can’t keep their lies straight. And yeah Eddie sounds so satisfied with their sex life, I would be mad if a significant other described it as “healthy”, but are they being asked about that anyway, that’s just weird, plus I don’t want to picture them going at it, gross.

  18. Arock says:

    Stop talking! Just. Stop. Talking.
    She has a rare gift- she can take any subject and make it about her, any subject. It’s astounding.

    • Dinah says:

      Yes! I also wish she would stfu.
      And my mother has the same, ahem, “talent”. Ugh. It’s exhausting.

  19. KatieD says:

    Dear Shart-stain McDentures,

    You have not embarked on anything that could remotely be considered ‘a tour’ in many, many years. Please stop pretending that yodeling in the background while 80 year olds play the slots = a tour.

    Sincerely,
    Everyone

    P.S. ‘Blended family’ refers to a marriage in which both parties have children. What you have with Ediot is more like a hijacking…of Brandi’s life.

  20. NerdMomma says:

    Truly, the show is fully scripted. All of Eddie’s “friends” are clearly actors. LeAnn’s southern friends might be real- I was struck by how fresh and pretty they looked next to the poorly molded plastic that is Liz. But every word was rehearsed, every storyline clearly fake. I’m trying to figure out where I’m supposed to “laugh” and where all the “heart” is I was promised, lol. I’m mostly watching for Liz at this point. I’m dying to know if she has a personality. So far nada.

    ETA: I don’t mean Eddie is friends with other actors- I mean the show hired actors to play his friends

    • Ladyinbed says:

      I was waiting to see Liz’s personality too. But she seems to be playing it safe. But man, does she look rough. Her lips hurt to look at, and her hair dye clashes with the color wheel.

      Liz is totally Eddie’s type, super skinny, fake boobs and lips. He seems happier to see Liz then his own wife. I wonder if they ever hooked up? Was she the third in the Brandi/Eddie threesome-to-keep-things-interesting I wonder?

      I can’t get over how Eddie looks so grossed out when he has to kiss Leann. I’m embarrassed for her by this train wreck.

      • Jezi says:

        Liz is not Eddie’s type. Eddie likes curvy brunettes and he hates plastic surgery. Brandi was totally not his type and she knew that. He was pissed at her when she wanted her implants after she had Jake and she always mentions how he despised her lips when she used to inject them. That’s why she stopped doing lip injections. I would say Scheana was more his type over anyone.

        As far as Liz being the other woman, heck no. Brandi has better taste than that in women.

      • Lady D says:

        So all this time, she has been dying her hair the wrong colour to attract Ediot? Not to mention the weight loss. That’s seriously funny. If she spent a little more time with her husband instead of stalking the ex she might know this. I think those that are saying it’s Brandi she wants are right.

  21. Pepinsky says:

    That first picture!! I think I’m in love

  22. Nick says:

    She really does look like the grinch. Interestingly, I think I would rather the grinch be a step mom to my children than her. I feel for Brandi knowing that this psycho is looking after my kids a few days a week. I can see how one may want an extra bottle or two of wine thinking about it.

    • starfish says:

      Someone said she can’t be alone with the kids, what kind of step=mom is she?

  23. “I have proven many times over to myself that I can love a child who’s not mine.”

    If you adopt a child, that child is yours. If this is where you’re starting, LeAnn, please don’t have children via any method. And if you mean “I can love a child I didn’t give birth to,” then say that.

    • Josephina says:

      You already knew exactly what she meant given her marriage to Eddie and the infinite amount of tweets and criticisms of her self-proclaiming as the “bonus mom.”

      I am not a fan of Leanne but we all know she is mainly talking about her experience with Eddie’s children and probably her other friends as well.

      • starfish says:

        I hope she never adopts, poor kid will have to wait while she tweets all day how great she thinks she is. It’s sad that she has no reality in life.

  24. Deanne says:

    What losers. Talking about their sex life to Star Magazine. Could they be any more pathetic? I have a serious question. Not that I believe for a second that Dallas was begging for him, but isn’t he shooting himself in the foot legally. by saying he constantly turns down work? The child support he pays is based on his income and he’s already had it lowered more than once and even requested “overpayment” back from Brandi. How can he cry lower income, when he’s living a very luxurious lifestyle, all while refusing to work?

    • Ag says:

      i don’t know their situation, but if he’s refusing work and, as a result, requesting to lower his child support payments, that sounds like willful unemployment, which is not a valid excuse for wanting to pay less in child support. get your a$$ to work, dude.

      • Deanne says:

        Totally. He’s saying on camera, that he’s willfully turning down 7 months of consistent. work. He’s an actor. It’s not like travelling and commuting for his job is unusual. If he only takes local jobs, he could never work again. Great example for his sons. Never work unless it’s in his backyard, vacation twice a month and mooch off of his wife. while cutting his payments to their Mother, who has multiple jobs. Eddie was able to keep the level of his scumballness under the radar while he let LeAnn take the brunt of the criticism. By doing this show, he’s really exposing himself for the POS he is.

    • starfish says:

      I don’t think a judge would agree with Ed on this. I sure hope it goes to court and he is ordered to get a job cleaning horse stalls if need be.

  25. LESA SAYS says:

    Every time I hear about things he says about how great their marriage is and how functional it is, I always remember how he used to praise Brandi when married to her. Obviously this guy lies every time his lips move. He was steadily cheating on Brandi when singing praisez about her. Now we are supposed to believe anything either one of them say? They really taint the phrase “celebrity couple”. That is all!
    Sick of both f them and their constant presence in the media!

  26. Pumpkin Pie says:

    “I have proven many times over to myself that I can love a child who’s not mine” – isn’t she talking about brandi and ediot’s sons? And says that just to spite brandi?

    • Byte Me says:

      That’s how I read it & typically she’ll get a dig at Brandi anytime she can, passive/aggressive that she is.

  27. Leslie says:

    “There’s so much delusion here. So many lies too. How many times is LeAnn going to lie about whether the VH1 reality show is scripted or not?”

    Exactly. The thing is when you lie, you can’t remember what you say from one day to the next. When you stick to the truth, it’s the same story over and over. Obviously, LeAnn and Eddie aren’t telling the truth since their stories change from one interview to the next. And does anyone really believe he was OFFERED a role in Dallas and turned it down? That’s another one of their many lies.

  28. Bread and Circuses says:

    I don’t usually bag on this woman, because good heavens, EVERYBODY else does…

    …but “I have proven many times over to myself that I can love a child who’s not mine” sounds so weirdly narcissistic.

    Like, shouldn’t she be proving it to the kids? Or to the kids’ biological parents? Not herself? Why exactly should her *own* approval be her top-listed concern in a situation involving other people’s children?

    • Jess says:

      I also found this very strange, weird thing to say or even think, especially since she’s constantly saying “our boys” and wants us to believe she actually cares about them, so why would she need to prove this to herself over and over?

    • Deanne says:

      Because she is the centre of the universe and “the only one that matters”. As a raving narcissist, there is nothing that she doesn’t make all about herself.

    • Lydia Says says:

      @Bread and circuses says. I think she’s responding to people who constantly criticizing her for calling Eddie’s kids her boys or calling herself bonus mom. In her defense, Brandi always says that the boys love her and I think she genuinely cares and loves these boys. In my opinion, people would not have an issue with it if they did not hate her. Jada Pink Smith calls her step son(Will Smith’s son) her son all the time and nobody have a problem with it.

      • starfish says:

        She is not on twitter posting pics of the kid either. Leann has used these boys for attention for herself.

      • betty says:

        Jada respected the kids mom. She said you cant love the child if you can’t respect their mother. Jada is a woman. Leann acts lik child.

  29. msw says:

    nothing scripted? can’t this b make up her damn mind?

  30. amara says:

    I can’t stand these two.

  31. Lydia Says says:

    Whether the produces admit it or not, all reality shows are scripted. How else will they make you tune in? It’s a cute show though. I don’t have a dog in this fight because everybody’s hand is dirty is this crazy triangle. But why does Leanne always get vilified for loving those kids? Isn’t that’s what she’s supposed to do and that’s what a divorced parent would hope for? If she did not care people would have found an issue with it.Throughout all this mess, Brandi never says that Leanne does not love those boys. She can never replace Brandi but as long as she’s with Eddie, she’ll always play an important role in those kids’s lives. Sure she uses the kids for attention but so does Brandi. In my opinion, Brandi pimps her kids to get attention in the worst possible ways. I just wish the media would stop reporting about this trio.

    • Leprechaun says:

      There is nothing whatsoever about Leann showing her love to the boys. But calling them “my boys,” all of the time is not an act of love, it’s an act of pure spite. And since she already took Brandi’s husband and now tries to lay claim to her boys, I’d say that Leann gets what she deserves. There was nothing “cute” about Leann’s admission that she’d already told the boys about the affair she and Eddie had. I think that’s about the least loving thing a non-parent can say to the children (and thus, mother) of her partner. The proper thing would have been to allow Brandi and/or Eddie to tell the boys that they had fallen out of love with the other partner, although they still cared for them, blahbeddyblah. And that they would always love the kids. Leann goes way over the boundary of what’s appropriate and what’s not, until she ends up in Disgustingville, and wallows like a pig in it. I suppose that Leann will now post a picture of her wallowing in some mud, to be all “cutesie” in her spiteful attacks on everyone who disagrees with her.

        Sorry, I forgot a word in the first sentence. I meant to say, “there is nothing whatsoever wrong with Leann showing her love for the boys. But…

      • Jess says:

        I agree with you, and think if she actually cared about the kids she would show respect to their mother, but she never has. I also think if LeAnn behaved differently in the beginning things would be so better today, she constantly posted pictures of Eddie and the boys just to hurt Brandi and feel like she won. Brandi had every right to bash her on twitter or run to the tabloids because she was the victim, LeAnn doesn’t understand that or want to accept it, she wants to be the victim.

    • claire says:

      She gets vilified because from the get-go she presented an image on Twitter, through her ramblings and rants, that she was preventing coparenting, not respecting boundaries, trashing the mom of the kids and exploiting them…all in her PR attempt to portray herself as the victim and Brandi as a demon. No one that has even halfway decent morals is going to think that a mistress turned gf should immediately show up to a soccer game and make out with the dad in front of the wife and kids. Have some class. Have some restraint. Have some feelings for the people you hurt and don’t shove that in their face. Don’t go on Twitter rants telling everyone you don’t respect the mom because there is nothing to respect, or give your fans private information about the mom so they can taunt and harass her with it. Someone can say they love the kids but if they’re acting like this, no one in their right mind is going to give them Stepmom of the Year award. It’s all hollow talk. Action speak and Twitter is public. She is fully responsible for the backlash she gets.

    • Jenny12 says:

      I seriously can’t believe you think Brandi pimps her kids. First of all, they aren’t Leann’s children and she has no right to pimp them anyway, but Brandi posts some shots on Twitter or has some photo shoots or whatever. Again, HER kids and many reality stars do this. Leann started pimping the boys out from day one, not even waiting for a divorce. She called the paps to every vacation and sports event, and then was photographed in over the top PDA with Eddie. She uses the boys in the introduction to her current show, in the website promoting the show, on her website that you must pay for and in every interview. These aren’t even her children, for pity’s sake. She plasters them on Twitter and Vine, and she has the paps to every photo shoot she admits to setting up (she ADMITTED calling the paps to come) and she makes sure the boys are in the pictures, because those are the pictures they use to antagonize Brandi which in turn creates publicity. Furthermore, her behavior towards the children’s mother is so vicious that you can’t possibly believe she has their best interests at heart. She has an entire album AND show devoted to bashing Brandi. How is this a loving stepparent? And their biological excuse for a father is even worse. Brandi is far from perfect, but I can never get over the whole Leann loves the boys, isn’t she great crap.

    I’m in agreement with Kaiser; Leann’s entire marriage revolves around the great sex that Eddie gave her. And sure, I get it that sex is the bedrock of most marriages, while great sex is all that glues some of them together. But for some reason or other, this has totally and absolutely brought out the crazy with Leann. The photos of her with Dean show a pretty young lady who looks sweet as well. Honestly, I thought that good sex was supposed to mellow you out, not turn you into a monster.

    And what was with the “FU” ring Leann wore in the fashion show photos in the DM? Did anyone else see it? She totally posed her hand so it was the most noticeable item in the photo. Is she turning into Lindsay Lohan with the “FU” messages on her hand? I guess that she’s mentally at Lindsay’s age so maybe it’s not so odd to see?

  33. Hideyocomments says:

    Meh. They’ll say what they need to say to maintain their happy family image. Proof is in the pudding, actions speak louder and more honestly than words. Nothing they have ever said or tweeted or had splashed across the gossip blogs convinces me that they are happy. But their desperate attempt for public approval and redemption are so obvious and pathetic that it really does inspire some emotion in me. Secondhand embarrassment perhaps?

    Eddie is honestly regretting his decision to pick LeAnn over any available woman after Brandi asked him to leave. LeAnn is simply seething inside that she cannot convince the world that she won Ed fair and square. Both know the real story. But being a d-list entertainer means this is the only game left in town. They will continue the charade, the merry-go-round of tired cliches and last ditch efforts to eek out whatever career they can, for whatever money they may still scrape off the table.

    People like Ed and LeAnn are cautionary tales in this new age of over-sharing. They will enjoy no fairy tale ending, they will have long lives filled with embarrassing regret. Yet they are not precedent setters. They join a growing demographic of public figures that have no other means of making an income than debasing themselves for public flogging. Producers of today are like the sideshow barkers of old. They’ll put anything up for sale, as long as they make some money. LeAnn and Ed will have a platform to perform if they generate income. But one day they will be replaced, by someone else with even less dignity and more greed. Those teen moms are coming for you LeAnn… better get while the gettin’ is still good.

    • Leprechaun says:

      You know what? I really don’t think that Eddie regrets picking Leann at all. He gets all the sex he wants from her (her words, not mine,) is given all kinds of expensive cars, toys, etc. She pays his child support. He gets free vacations and all of the booze he could ever want. Plus he also probably gets to cheat on her, just as long as he doesn’t make her into a laughingstock. I don’t see him regretting this one little bit.

      • starfish says:

        I agree, Eddie is a kept man, makes real Dad’s look so good doesn’t it. Dad’s go to work to support their families. He probably just bangs her friends, keeps it close to the house so Leann can watch. How sad she let this all happen, Eddie was looking for a free meal ticket when they filmed together in the 2nd rate Lifetime movie. She won’t be the first nor last to go broke in her old age and live back in a trailer where she started out, just because she thought Eddie was such a good catch. He will move on, guys like him always do——-.

      • Jenny12 says:

        Mm, yeah, but she is clingy and desperate and needy. Guys do NOT like that- I have brothers, plus I’m a wife- and even when they get everything they want, they still don’t want the person hanging on them like that.

    • Lady D says:

      She went from being the youngest and most at-the-time celebrated young singer to “the only game left in town.” So how happy are ya really, Leanne?

  34. Brin says:

    Awwww… Leann’s shart show tanked in the ratings again….time to cancel.

  35. Jenny12 says:

    What makes my mouth hang open is that these two still see themselves as the victims. Poor us, all we went through to be a blended family, all the bad press we get- they can’t be serious. And they keep pushing the agenda of not only being victims, but being BRANDI’S victims. It’s sickening.

    • Lady D says:

      After the web-wide derision her first 2 reality shows received, people aren’t deceived by her near as much. This show is so going to backfire for them.

    • msw says:

      “Sickening” is a good word for it. I seriously can’t believe what a huge pair of a-holes these two are. Poor LeAnn got everything she wanted at great expense to others. Poor LeAnn is so misunderstood because no one knows how crazy Brandi is, because she didn’t have the “right tools” to dump her husband like yesterday’s garbage, because the media is conspiring g against her. Her efforts to seem happy and dispel rumors the majority of the gossip public forgets about after a day are so utterly transparent, I don’t know if she is just loves the notoriety and is trolling us all. She is like a child in so many ways, with her “truth” and her selfishness and her obsession with people knowing she is right, that she won. It’s unbelievably immature to think everyone would just agree with you if only they understood…. Hence the constant blabbering about her truth. Not to mention the histrionics and health crises (surgery for a hangnail? Are you effing kidding me with this?), the blaming and deflection, the way she is always trying to prove how much Eddie loves her, and the utter disregard for others. She is unbelievable.

      The best thing she could ever do for herself is STFU, but nope, its more important to get the truth out there. Keep tweeting, recording stupid “newlyweds” wannabe TV shows and yodeling about your “borrowed” spouse, LeAnn. You are your own worst enemy. Try suing yourself.

  36. Ming says:

    It confuses me to no end that talk about how much they hate the tabloids, it’s all lies etc…yet they turn around and give exclusives to these same tabloids.

    The definition of crazy– when u keep doing the same thing but expect different results.

    Yep. Leann is crazy.

  37. Ricci says:

    I like these two together and Leann is not ugly she just has different features. Tired of reading people bashing her looks when there is far worse.I wonder how attractive the bashers are?

    • K-Rock says:

      Not everyone is bashing her looks….its her ugly personality that gets the most attention.

  38. Caz says:

    Thanks for the “Leann pushing out a number two” photo. Along with baby Bieber being put in his carseat and crazy Goop faces…Leann rounds out the trifecta. Thanks Kaiser!

  39. lindy says:

    And these “sons” you love so much, wonder if they will want to have anything to do with your stained ass once you eventually are divorced from their dad? Which I can assure you, will happen.

  40. Deanne says:

    I find it truly hilarious that LeAnn and her fans believe anything Eddie says. He said he loved Brandi too. He talked highly of her in interviews and genuinely looked happy when he was with her. He certainly didn’t look physically repulsed the way he does with LeAnn. LeAnn probably really does love Eddie, but it’s incredibly obvious Eddie is just manipulating and using LeAnn. I mean, he’s got her convinced he “sacrificing” for her and the boys by never working and allowing her to support them all. He has no problem leaving the boys to vacation. Just for work. I wonder how the show did in the ratings this week? Certainly not well. but I wonder if the numbers dropped significantly as they often do after a premier. LeAnn isn’t bragging about it and actually seemed to be coming unhinged last night on Twitter, so I guess that answers my question.

  41. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    I watched their show two days ago–omg. These people need to get over themselves.

    They spent half the show bitching about Brandi and about the tabloid rumors about themselves–Leann actually read one out loud to her friends. The other half of the show was Eddie pretending like he’d turned down a job offer for Dallas. Like anyone believes that.

    And even if it was true–you’re telling me that he couldn’t negotiate with Brandi to maybe bring the boys with him?

    • betty says:

      When Eddie made Playboy in Chicago Leann went with him and they came home on weekends to see the boys., Plus Eddie parents brought the kids for a 10 day visit while they were there, It isn’t like Edddie has them 24/7. He had no problem leaving them home while he was out chasing the ladies, nor when he left them with his parents “touring” with Leann. The caring father image won’t work Eddie we know your history.

  42. hatekyle says:

    Oh LeAnn, you’ve proven that you can love other women’s husband, stalk him, snatch him, and go SWF on the wife.

  43. Christin says:

    I watched the latest installment of this show (reality, scriptality, or whatever it is).

    Rather than give a play by play, I will just say that my previous impressions of the two lead players were further confirmed. He is smug in every scene. She comes across as both arrogant and insecure. Both of them talk while chewing food.

    One thing I noticed is the vehicle he supposedly works on (with his assistant and what looks like a brand new tool set) appears to be the classic Bronco his ex’s father gave them that he kept. Passive aggressive, much?

    Next week’s show features the Nashville trip and a visit to her dad’s modest farm.

  44. K-Rock says:

    She’s got that “uh oh, my laxatives are kicking in” look on her face :p Nervous, tense, and seriously concentrating on holding it in.

  45. Sonia says:

    I wish the producers of Dallas would say if he was indeed offered anything!

  46. MissyD says:

    Hey, Falcor… your fly is down.

  47. Vilodemeanus says:

    It’s very clear by all of the articles and interviews that Eddie has NO INTENTION of getting Leann pregnant, not in this lifetime. Either he knows something we don’t or he feels when he leaves a child will complicate his exit is up for question but while she talks about having children he’s pretty clear it’s never going to happen. With Leann anyway. Bizarre people who think that show is humorous, the few clips I’ve seen are two smuggy smugs thinking they are getting even with Brandy, and fooling an audience – instead it’s uncovered a rather dysfunctional relationship on teetering ground with one person on the way and the other delusionally thinking her husband wants a kid with her, he practically crawls out of his own skin when the subject comes up. He speaks of “his boys” and they are what he cares about and the lifestyle she affords “her boys”. She’s a jerk and an idiot.
