LeAnn Rimes bravely performed at CMA Christmas show despite ‘throat pain’

wenn21903995

Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes performing at the 2014 CMA Country Christmas at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Friday night. This is why LeAnn flew to Nashville last week – I was mistaken when I assumed that she was heading to the CMA Awards on Thursday. Nope! Instead, she got to yodel some Christmas songs for the CMA Country Christmas thing, which I guess is a decent gig for her. She does have that Christmas EP coming out, so anything to increase sales and help pay for all of Eddie Cibrian’s toys.

Hilariously – because LeAnn is such a drama queen and she uses “illness” as an excuse to not work and demand that Eddie come to her, always – LeAnn did try to create some illness drama around her performance, tweeting: “Throat pain, hitting my sick low right now after 2 1/2 days of fighting it. Hopefully, tmrw morning will be a new, healthier day.” That was before the performance. She’s like a broken record! She only gets sick when she supposed to perform.

You know what occurred to me as I was considering the fact that LeAnn was in Nashville during the same time as the Country Music Awards, yet she didn’t go the CMAs? All of a sudden I realized that LeAnn is probably mad that she wasn’t nominated for any awards for Spitfire. She worked so hard! She yodeled so much about how difficult it was on her to homewreck her way through her marriage and Eddie’s marriage! And no one gave her any awards! Poor LeAnn.

Oh, and here’s a magazine cover – I guess this is a Nashville publication?

    Hmmmm, considering the rumours of Eddie straying. Leann might want to see a doctor about her sore throat. Two days with a sore throat is not good

  2. Brown says:

    You missed the part where during the ACTUAL CMAs, she was tweeting manically about how she would so much rather NOT be there, was loving watching from her friends couch, and posting videos of herself at the CMAs when she was 13……

  3. laura says:

    I bizarrely just read that title as ‘…despite deep “throat pain”‘. Now time to bleach my brain…

  4. LAK says:

    Is it the norm for the CMAs to have a christmas special this early and near their own big award show?

    • Sullivan says:

      Since everyone is in town for the CMAs, they tape the Christmas special a couple days after. They’ll run it during the holidays.

  5. Jess says:

    She really trashed country music in that Unite article, I was kinda shocked by how offensive it was. Also, she really needs a new photographer and a decent stylist.

    • Falkor says:

      I’m sorry but even the most skilled photographer, stylist, makeup artist, etc. couldn’t go toe to toe with that face. Girlfriend needs a wizard, preferably one who can put her into Brandi’s body.

    • Rita says:

      Jess,
      LeAnn’s comments in the article about country music not having a female voice and that the genre is stale is a perfect example of a has-been’s mentality. LeAnn is so far out of country music she refuses to accept the fact that it has to continually evolve or die……..much like LeAnn.
      In other words, she saying, “Since I can’t give away my music, it must be the fault of the genre.”

      • Jess says:

        It’s obvious that she doesn’t realize how washed up she really is, you can tell she thinks she’s just as popular as Carrie or Taylor, it’s a little sad but more hilarious. Eddie thinks the same way, when he said something about the “global misconception” with them I lost it, aside from the few hundred of us that follow their drama nobody cares. He hasn’t worked much in years and she can’t sell albums or tickets, delusional idiots.

      • msw says:

        They mistake passive interest in their be shenanigans as interest in them or their careers. Ironically, I kinda liked both of them prior to each of them revealing their true, loathesome natures. Now, I couldn’t give a crap what either of them does, instead of being mildly interested.

      • Lady D says:

        ?
        Wonder what Dolly, Loretta, Crystal, Carrie, ect., etc., etc. think about her ‘country doesn’t have a female voice’ comment. She’s really working hard on getting the country music world turn its back on her. Shouldn’t the CMA’s make her realize how vibrant the country music scene is? Or is it because she is no longer part of it, much as she tries to pretend otherwise? Without her, country music is just curling up and dying y’all.

      • Grant says:

        She’s got a point though. The current trend of Bro Country that’s taken over the radio waves has really monopolized the market.

      • JenniferJustice says:

        Anybody that listens to country music knows many of the singers blazing the path right now are definitely female: Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town (2 females), The Band Perry (lead singer is female), etc. Sure, there’s bro country, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any popular female artists, and we’re talking about prolific female artists, whether you like her or not, Miranda Lambert is ball of fire who’s put rock into country and kicked everybody’s butts selling albums and tickets. Before this current generation, there was Faith and Martina filling the charts. LeMann is just bitter because she’s not part of it anymore. Even Faith had the where-with-all to learn to smile and clap for the younger generation females. LeMann would do well to follow suit. Spewing sour grapes only makes her look bad.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      I see the name of that magazine with her on the cover, and my brain reads: UNTIE. Much more appropriate.

    • Kimberleee says:

      She actually didn’t even get that much plastic surgery. She just has a unique looking face.

      http://plasticperson.com/leann-rimes-plastic-surgery-before-and-after-botox-facelift

      • Puravidacostarica says:

        With dentures…

      • Annie B says:

        She was simply homely originally, she turned into The Joker/The Grinch combo when she had her upper lip stapled/sewn “down” to “fix her uber-gummy smile. Made her face look extremely horsey too. So when she smiles now rather than her full upper gums showing and her upper lip completely disappearing the skin between her top lip and nose does not move, so she gets the weird joker lines on the corner of her mouth and the grinch-like abnormally “long” snout like look under her nose. Surprised the plastic surgery web-site wouldn’t notice this very obvious difference between now and then.

      • AntiSocialButterfly says:

        Eww.

        She did not do herself *any* favors, whatever she did to alter her lip/smile. She should have left her natural smile, and just focused on her oral care. She looks like a poster girl for the bad home care cases/ severe gingivitis posters at the dental office.

        Her original smile was open, at least. Now she just looks like she’s sneering all the time. Awful, just awful.

    • Stacey says:

      As for country music’s current state, Rimes says she cannot be incredibly positive about it. “I miss old school country music a lot. I miss the stories and the humanity of it. Not everything was about a truck, a six-pack, and a dirt road,” Rimes says as she mentions that country radio seems to just be the same twelve songs over and over. The lack of women today in country music has, as Rimes put it, contributed to the “narrowing down” of country music so much to become another format that is now pop music. Stale is how Rimes describes the genre and hopes that something or someone comes along soon to break the trend. “There used to be something to me that separated [country music] from every other genre and it doesn’t anymore,” Rimes says, “so, that saddens me.”

      • JenniferJustice says:

        She knows this isn’t true. She’s heard Miranda’s “Automatic” and “The House that Built Me” and knows these are Cash-like poems. Nobody has to like the music to acknowledge that it is indeed poetry in country fashion. George never ceases to tell a story in every song. I can’t believe she’s so childish. Doesn’t she realize country’s who’s who will interpret her rhetoric for what it is – bitterness and bad-mouthing, they won’t let her back in. That girl is just too stupid for words.

      • briargal says:

        And yet not to long ago she was saying that the radio stations weren’t playing HER music because it was more like pop! She is talking out both sides of her mouth! Make up your mind, LeAss! We have caught you in soooo many lies.

  6. JH says:

    That “magazine” cover photo is tragic.

    • Arock says:

      That cover is hilariously tragic. She made the cover along with 10 of nashvilles hotest bartenders. No CMA appearance, no parties, nothing…just her on the cover of a local “in flight” type magazine right next to 2 for one pasta coupons.
      Next up- trade shows.

      • funcakes says:

        Now that she has made the cover of a magazine that lists the best bartender how can she go back to living with the normal folks?

  7. Jayna says:

    I think LeAnn is looking the best she’s looked since hooking up with Eddie. Her personality and mental issues seem to be the same, though, me, me, me, whine, whine, whine.

  8. Rusty machine says:

    I live in Nashville and I have never heard of that magazine. Looks like a small magazine for the gay community. Side note: I may have to pick this up just to find the hot bartenders.

  9. Tracy says:

    So she is in Nashville during the CMA’s and did not go by choice or she was not invited and had no choice but to watch it on a friends couch?

    I read that Unite interview and she is so awful and trashes country music so badly that it left me wondering why she is included in anything anymore.

  10. Patricia says:

    I think we all know a person who does this: acts like the weight of the world is upon them every time they have a minor ailment. They go on social media and whine like a child and somehow they always find several people to feed into it with “oh poor thing”, getting so much attention for a minor issue like a damn cold! It drives me so nuts. I hate complainers. Get a life and grow up.

    • Deanne says:

      LeAnn and her fans all tweet non-stop about their various ailments. They aren’t a healthy bunch, mentally or physically.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      I usually assume these are attempts to cover for voice failures. Everybody’s voice loses octaves and can’t hit the high notes when they age. I figure she does this for the critics – to head them off at the pass. But then, I am the ultimate cynic.

  11. puffinlunde says:

    She is so desperate these days – someone posted on another site that she did a gig in a Nashville sushi bar last week so clearly her career is going nowhere.
    Obviously she wasn’t invited to the main CMA’s and turned up early in hope of a last minute invite and then tweeted desperately during the CMAs hoping for some attention from one of the big stars. When that didn’t happen and everyone ignored her she went to her default “I’m sick” tweets to get some attention.
    The dress she chose for the Christmas gala was nasty and cheap as well – if you look at the close-ups the dress is very poorly made with wonky seams and having her boobs on display was hardly family-friendly Christmas entertainment.

    • funcakes says:

      I’m so embarrassed for her. The looked so cheap and rough. She even had a shoe missing. She really can’t find someone to make a dress for her that looks half way decent. Some kid from a fashion school. Geez.

    • Sea Dragon says:

      In a SUSHI BAR? Ugh. That’s about as bad as it gets.

  12. Sugar1 says:

    Oh Leann you are a legend…only in your own mind. And we all know how her mind works…overtime on batsh!t crazy mode.

  13. Brin says:

    Every time she performs it’s a life threatening ordeal…for the audience.

  14. funcakes says:

    I find it strange that she is not promoting her reality show on CMT. This may be her last chance to spread her truth! And if country is so over why is she letting her show play on CMT.

  15. funcakes says:

    I see Eddie went to the gym the other day. Why does he need the gym when he has oneat home at casa de loco leann?

    • Tracy says:

      The funniest part of that photo is that you can see the outline of a phone in each of his pockets. Hmmm….. why two phones Eddie??

      • funcakes says:

        No the funny part is leann giving shout outs to the article without reading it. The article was not positive. She is goofy.

      • embee says:

        It’s rare not to see the phone in her hand. Always have to have it in case she has to have it for her twitter addiction. I carry mine in my purse, but celebrities always have the in thei hands

  16. funcakes says:

    I would have loved to see leann face backstage when Carrie underwood was getting all the attention. You know, the one who has never paid her dues to country music, leann.

    • Jess says:

      I bet Carrie can’t stand her! She had no right commenting on that situation with Faith Hill and Carrie years ago, especially since she won a Grammy when she was like 13? What 13 year old has “paid her dues”, she’s such an idiot and even Faith put out a statement disagreeing with LeAnn if I remember correctly.

      • Christin says:

        Those comments included some shade about talent contests (or something to that effect). Carrie becoming known through Idol apparently wasn’t paying dues in her book.

        What is funny about that is she forgot about being on Star Search several years before Blue. And Blue, in my opinion, was a lot of hype. The guy who gave her that song (supposedly intended for Patsy) helped propel her to fame. It was marketing all the way.

      • briargal says:

        @Christin–It’s amazing how short LR’s memory is–she just can’t keep all her lies straight and then forgets SHE was on a talent show too! Unbelievable how crazy she is. And I love it that Carrie is so much more successful and popular than LR will ever be. And hasn’t Carrie won more awards than poor ole LR? She sure has better attendance at her concerts than lil LeAss!

      • Christin says:

        Looks like Carrie won six Grammys and she’s been in the biz less time. Without doubt she has her beat in most any award type, sales tally, etc.

        I have to look up number of Grammy awards for most of the truly popular performers. They typically don’t crow about them, unlike a certain yodeling wonder who is a *multiple* winner (translation: TWO).

        And she can’t keep her stories straight, that’s for sure.

  17. embee says:

    She is always saying she has a sore throat before a performance. Maybe it’s so if she does a bad job, she has an excuse. She also has to watch Ed, and 1000 tweets while on stage. Did she sing at the sushi place with a sore throat? Magazine picture is bad. Did she ever have eyes?

  18. funcakes says:

    Didn’t leann insult one of the performers? Everyone was meeting to leann about how great this young lady was and things got ugly.

  19. Deanne says:

    She really trashed the entire country music industry in that article. No wonder no one in Nashville likes her.I love how she pretends that a second season of her show was even a possibility. She literally lies every time she opens her mouth.

    • claire says:

      She lies about the stupidest things. Like how she says she often flies the boys to her dad’s farm to go four-wheeling, something they can’t do in LA. But since she tweets all her actions, everyone knows they do in fact often go four-wheeling in LA and the only time the boys went to the dad’s farm in Nashville was when she used her dad for filming of their crap VH1 show.

      • Deanne says:

        You’re right. She’s posted many photos too. Her whole life is a lie. She lies to herself and everyone else.

      • buffylover1234 says:

        I’m sure she lies about bringing the boys to Nashville bc she lies about anything and everything, but…

        the boys weren’t in that episode or on the show other than comments about and photos of them.

        On the episode on her show where they visited the dad, there was a young boy, and I thought they called him Leann’s nephew or something, and I think he was related to Leann’s dad’s new wife.

    • Christin says:

      The artists who often make even modest comebacks don’t talk like this (unless they are viewed as a legend already, which she is not). They just do their new music and refrain from trashing other artists and the genre itself.

      A few years ago, a once high profile artist came out with a new album. He was asked whether he was disappointed in lack of airplay for older artists. He said that he had his day on radio, and that everything cycles. It has to be that way for new artists to have a chance, just like he did years before. It was very classy, and just the polar opposite of sounding bitter.

      • Deanne says:

        Her bitterness oozes out of her every pore. She’s so angry that she’s basically a nobody now. Seriously, I don’t care if she won two Grammys at 13 or 14 or whatever. That was 20 years ago. She hasn’t meant anything in country music for a freaking decade but she talks like she’s the only authentic country musician left on the planet. She’s also bitter that the public didn’t want to hear her ” I cheated, but I’m the victim ” album either. She has about much chance of having a comeback as Eddie does of winning an Academy Award. That would be none. She’s so arrogant that she never shows even a sliver of humility.

      • JenniferJustice says:

        She still sees herself as a victim even in her failing career. It’s not because she made bad choices, past on good songs, took bad songs, had an affair with a married man and then made an arse of herself over the next five years – Nooooo, it’s because country music doesn’t want an authentic musician – one who doesn’t even play an instrument. She never ceases to point the finger and lay blame anywhere but where it should be – Herself.

        There are many artists who are popular that I don’t care for in every genre, but I give credit where credit is due. They must be doing something right and connecting with a certain population or they wouldn’t be popular. I felt this way about Madonna. She’s not a great singer. She doesn’t write prolific lyrics. She had a style physically and musically, and obviously she was talented in if nothing else, knowing what would sell. That still doesn’t make me enjoy Madge’s music but I can admit when an artist is talented even if it’s not my thing. Again, she’s stupid.

  20. Bobbiesue says:

    Her Christmas “tour” starts in Rutland, Vermont on Dec. 5th! If I weren’t going to be at Basel looking to run into Lenny Kravitz I would have driven up just for the fun of seeing her live! But, someone probably would have met me at the door asking “Are you BOBBIESUE?????”

  21. Bobbiesue says:

    I really do believe though that if she were known for her good works, charity, positive attitude, true talent and quiet self-effacing celebrity, we would look at the cover photo and declare: “Pretty! She looks great!” This is the power of personality over physicality.

    • Elle says:

      Oh absolutely. I don’t think she always looks as bad as people say, but knowing how ugly she is inside … it’s easy to find the ugly on the outside.

      On the plus side, she does make for great gossip, so that’s one point in her column. Maybe the only point.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Yep. A person isn’t beautiful just because of their looks. That’s what I love about kids. They don’t care what you look like–they care if you’re nice to them. If you play games with them, etc. They love you if you love them. Nothing more.

    • mollie says:

      Exactly. She makes consistently poor PR choices.

  22. Leslie says:

    About LeAnn having a sore throat…I think that was because she felt her performance would be bad. She expected critics to blast her for it, and her comeback would be, “Well, I had a sore throat. You try to sing that song with a sore throat.” Probably her performance anxiety comes from the fact that Country Music no longer embraces her. She’s burned bridges by criticizing top performers, and she probably got this gig because someone owed that Darrel person a favor.

    And her choice of dress…sometimes I wonder if she puts a lot of effort into trying to look frumpy. This would have been her chance to shine. She should have chosen a well-fitting dress, even a short one with some Christmas colors in it. Anything that fit. This one doesn’t fit at the waist, and it looks cheaply made and of cheap fabric. And that to-the-waist cleavage. This poor woman sabotages herself.

    • Elle says:

      She really does sabotage herself, doesn’t she? I sometimes want to feel bad for her because she does seem to be her own worst enemy … then she opens her mouth or stalks someone, and the moment quickly passes.

      If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say she’s trying to do effortlessly sexy with the white dress. Some women could pull off that look. She can’t. As for the black dress … no. While black is generally slimming, the cut of that dress makes her look wider than she is.

      Leann doesn’t know how to dress for her body type, and really, that’s why stylists exist. While they sometimes make bad choices, a decent stylist could make the most of Leann’s body and make her look much better. She needed something that would minimize her shoulders, give her some color (like you said, Christmas colors would be fantastic on her).

  23. Peachy says:

    Looks like her next gig will be hosting the Amish Rumspringa Awards.

  24. why? says:

    Leann’s Christmas EP has been out for almost 2 weeks now. It’s not doing well on the charts, even after Camp Leann filled the internet with articles about how great Leann’s performance at the CMA Christmas special was and had her fans tweet nonstop about how Leann did a very good job at the performance.

    Leann didn’t turn down the CMA Awards, she wasn’t invited. Leann wasn’t nominated for any awards in 2011 and she showed up at the both the CMAs and BMIs. Why would anyone invite Leann to an awards show because she always has a way of ruining it, before the CMA Christmas special she whined about her sore throat and how the pharmacy didn’t have her medication filled on time and after the CMA Christmas special she acted like it was HER concert, the same thing she did at the David Gray concert. The only reason Leann got to perform at the CMA Christmas Special was because of Darrell Brown and her friend Storme Warren. Leann is hardly ever invited to events based on her talent anymore.

    That white dress Leann wore to the CMA Christmas special looks so bad on her. It looks like she is wearing a robe. What is her fetish with not wearing underwear when she wears white dresses?

    Leann’s sore throat was a hangover. Before she whined about the pharmacy not having her medication ready, she posted a photo of herself eating BBQ with a cup of alcohol in front of her and a video of her and 2 of her friends drunk singing to instagram.

    Since people called Leann out for lying about flying Jake and Mason out to her father’s farm, she tweeted today that Jake, Mason, Eddie, her parents, and Eddie’s parents, are flying out to Nashville to see her. Was this a condition of the cruise she is sending Eddie’s parents on or did Leann make them come out because she got tired of people posting about how Eddie wasn’t in Nashville with her? Does Brandi know that Eddie is flying her kids to Nashville? Leann complains about jet lag a lot, yet she doesn’t care about jet lag when it comes to Jake and Mason. Notice that Leann and Eddie’s exploitations of Brandi’s kids always happen when Brandi can’t do anything about it? The Halloween photo happened when Brandi was with her sick father. Now dragging
    Jake and Mason to Nashville happens when Brandi is on her way to Australia for work. No wonder Eddie is so understanding.

    • Girlygirl410 says:

      She is so manipulative. She uses her money to manipulate the people who should love her unconditionally. The only people she can’t buy or manipulate (as hard as she may try) is us common blog reading folk. Love your insight Why, enjoy reading your comments on LeAnn.

  25. why? says:

    “Season one of Rimes’ reality show on VH1, LeAnn and Eddie, recently concluded with its eighth and final episode. When asked about a season two, Rimes is keeping that open ended. “We had a lot of fun working together but I think for now, since I am so busy with music stuff and touring, it would be hard to fit in [season two], but we might revisit that again in the future.”

    What Leann really means is that VH1 really doesn’t want to give her a season 2. What music stuff is Leann busy with? All she does all day is tweet and post photos to instagram. She didn’t start practicing for her Christmas tour until yesterday. All she has been doing on tour is playing Scrabble, tweeting, creating more instagram accounts, and treating Kiki and Keri Rae to dinner every night. Even when she is supposed to be in the studio rehearsing for the Christmas tour, she is on twitter or instagram. How far into the future are they going to revisit a reality show? Until she can bully another network into airing her show? Right now CMT Canada is airing reruns of her reality show.

  26. why? says:

    Eddie must not be answering his phone because Leann is having a tweetfest on twitter right now. Who did Leann hire to take photos of Jake and Mason at the airport with Eddie, his in-laws, and parents? How many photos and tweets will she make during the visit with her family? Her family is coming to visit her, you would think that she would be too busy preparing things for them instead of on twitter tweeting about how she always drops her iphone. Are they going to stay in a hotel or with Leann at her friend’s house?

  27. why? says:

    Eddie sucks as a father. He uses Jake and Mason as currency. He isn’t interested in protecting them or keeping them safe, just on how he can use them to get vacations, women, alcohol, gifts, and free time from Leann. Leann let Eddie spend 6 days alone in LA while she was in Nashville and for it Eddie is letting Leann pap Jake and Mason at the airport, around Nashville, twitter, and instagram. The sad part is the pleasure Leann takes in letting everyone know that Brandi isn’t spending the week of Jake and Mason’s vacation with her kids. She just couldn’t quietly go to the airport to pick them up, she had to get on twitter and announce it. Does Brandi even know that Eddie dragged Mason and Jake to Nashville? Leann is already gloating about the staged photo-op she set up with Mason and Jake at the airport in Nashville. To top it all off, Leann is having a tweetfest. Her family flew all the way to Nashville and instead of getting things ready for them, she is on twitter tweeting.

    • Jess says:

      The way she uses those kids makes my stomach turn with rage, and Eddie is a terrible father for allowing it to happen almost everyday. It’s so twisted and pathetic, thank god she doesn’t have children of her own, kids are so innocent and they shouldn’t be manipulated and used like that.

      • Sugar1 says:

        when if she ever has her own it would be an amazing effort for her to apologize to Brandi for stepping all over her rights as their mom.
        I say this because up until my children were born i didn’t have a maternal bone in my body & it was like a flip of a switch I knew everything even the maternity nurses were holding my babies wrong haha!
        I think Leann is too selfish self centered to have a child of her own.
        As for Brandi and Eddies 2 sons Leann probably cares for them because they are Eddies sons but she favors the little one because the oldest is wise to her and I think was old enough to understand something bad was happening when this call me “leelee” lady sudden was with daddy all the time.

  28. mollie says:

    Cannot bear this woman, really cannot. I will say ONE thing about her, though, she exhibits extreme patience with a particular fan(atic). The woman with the injured foot tweets to Leann multiple times in a day, and if she does not get attention, she pouts. She’s constantly posting that she can’t afford to purchase a sweatshirt, gross hints that she’d like one for free. It’s really icky and scary. Reminds me of the movie Misery.
    I give Leann credit for being kind to someone like that. That’s all. I can’t get on board with her horrible sense of PR and bad business decisions.

    • claire says:

      She has to be kind to those lunatics. They’re like her little cult members that will go to bat for her and defend all of her insane antics. When she messes up, like on XFactor, they will all stay quiet until the comes out with her excuses. Then they will parrot it nonstop. They’re creepy little weirdos, all those fans are.

    • Deanne says:

      She’s relentless. She acually tweeted that she was going potty and then to bed. Potty? She comes across as having the mental age of a young child.

  29. Addison DeWitt says:

    LeAnn stories used to be my favorite guilty pleasure, but now they’re so redundant I don’t click on them as much. I’m sure someone in the comments of one of her stories has already equated her with Tori Spelling and the whole ‘this is a heavy emotional situation, I’m going to make myself sick’ thing. The 2 women are somewhat similar in that.

    • Elle says:

      I get sick of her … but she’s one of the few celebrities I don’t feel at all guilty following or gossiping about, because she truly does invite and want the attention. But yes, I’m ready for a shake up to break her out of the current status quo.

      You know what would be a fun reality show? Leann and Tori stuck on an island with only each other and their own neuroses for company. Someone needs to make this happen.

  30. msw says:

    It must be exhausting to be LeAnn, constantly chasing her own tail like that.

    Man, that is a great image.

  31. Kim says:

    Please !!! Leann is only sick when Eddie is not with her for these gigs. Her reason of wanting to go back home and keep an eye on him. It must be a fresh of breath air for Eddie when she is away for work.

    • briargal says:

      Fresh air in more ways than one–she always looks like she needs a bath and a hair wash! And her whole mouth issues–oooh!! Yup the air gets a lot easier to breathe when she ain’t around, you’all!

  32. embee says:

    Maybe Eddie when Eddie doesn’t go with her it’s because HE’S so sick of her. When he thinks of how being with her ruined his family and entire life, he must run to the bathroom and get sick. And she gets her “sore throats” when it’s time to sing

  34. why? says:

    Just as we all said she would, Leann is spending the second day of her family vacation with Eddie, Jake, Mason, and Kiki on twitter and instagram. Kiki is still in Nashville, but Leann wants everyone to think that she left. Kiki tweeted that she was homebound on Sunday. So Kiki leaves Nashville the same day that Eddie is flying into Nashville? Kiki is still posting photos that indicate that she is still in Nashville with Leann. When Leann gave that interview to Unite about how Jake and Mason visit her father’s farm all the time to ride horses and 4 wheelers, she jumped the gun.

    Even though VH1 hasn’t officially announced whether or not they will be renewing Leann’s reality show, is Leann still filming scenes for the show? Leann was in Nashville for 4 days and she didn’t once think about her father. The only reasons for her to be on her father’s farm, is money, damage control, and filming for VH1 just in case they change their mind about her show.

    Leann is staying at her father’s farm now and Eddie and his kids must have stayed at a hotel because Leann would have started posting photos of Jake and Mason last night if they were with her last night at her father’s farm. If Leann is having so much fun with her family on her father’s farm, why is she interrupting that time with them to tweet and post photos? So far she posted 4 photos.

    Jake and a dog. Jake and Mason are nothing more than currency to Eddie. Eddie is making Mason and Jake pay for his “Leann free ” 6 days. What else did Leann buy Eddie to get him to let her post photos of Jake and Mason?

    Leann clinging to Eddie’s back as Eddie looks annoyed. She tagged it Nashville lovers. How does Eddie age so fast? Eddie is drunk because he never lets Leann get that close to him.

    One of her with her legs up in the air as she sits on a 4 wheeler, she tagged it as “suntanning on a 4 wheeler”. She is just copying a photo that her BFF Lizzy posted on instagram on November 7.

    One of a tree with a skull on it.

  35. MY TWO CENTS says:

    So, in other words what she’s saying in the article is her lack of a fan base doesn’t have anything to do with her or her choice of music, it’s just the way country music has changed. Ugh, yeah…this chic just explained why nobody can stand her. There are all kinds of country today. She just doesn’t fit in anywhere any more. She is trying to put down country cause they shunned her and go for the pop crowd. Can’t believe she thinks she stands a chance. Every interview she acquires more people that won’t support her in any way. She is so arrogant and self righteous. Predicted ailment is an excuse in case she doesn’t sound good at Christmas show and because Eddie isn’t there. I bet she’s lying about everybody in her family coming to visit her. She seems to be made of nothing but lies lately. They are a disgusting couple of humans that happened to end up together….they so deserve each other. Every time country throws her a bone and lets her appear in something she ruins it by opening her mouth.

    • Lady D says:

      Your last line made me laugh. Funny and true.
      This batsh*t crazy broad is going to start stalking Taylor Swift. First the album name, now the music genre. Does she think that because TS made the switch so successfully she can too? I think someone’s abusing their prescription.

      • Christin says:

        Taylor has supposedly mentioned LR as an influence, so that has probably fueled the fire, too. She may want to do a duet and ride the coat tails of a successful crossover artist.

        What is interesting is that Taylor is on a most hated celebrity list, too, yet is successful. — Unless she’s sitting in a closet downloading her own music, which I doubt.

  36. why? says:

    Leann confirms that Kiki hasn’t left Nashville. After tweeting that she was homeward bound, Kiki posted a photo of Leann to her twitter and instagram account. A few minutes ago, Leann posted that same photo to her instagram second instagram. Why did Leann drag Jake and Mason all the way to Nashville if she was just going to spend it on twitter and instagram? Leann is on twitter whining about how she is worn out from fishing, shooting, 4 wheeling, and roping. If she was so worn out, why is she even on twitter tweeting to her fans and still posting photos to instagram. Eddie must have taken Jake and Mason and went back to the hotel.

    • betty says:

      Leann flew the kids in because Brandi is goin to Australia and Eddie would have to stay behind. It is a free trip for Eddie parents and the kids I am sure they don’t mind. Plus the kids grandparents are there and Leann is just an afterthought. Leann is so desperate how can she ever have a career when she needs Eddie near her all the time. Carrie and Miranda leave their men behind and their careers are flourishing. Although both of their husbands are successful and Leann mate seems to have no career.

  37. embee says:

    She has to spend all her time on twitter no matter what she’s doing, to remind us that she’s sooo happeeee. She must tweet during and after fishing, shooting, 4 wheeling and roping, to remind us where she’s from and what a redneck she’s proud to be

    • Julie says:

      I think in-between twitter and Instagram she shops online all day and night. I have noticed that many times she post a selfie and someone will ask where she got the outfit and she will tweet the name of the company. I have gone and looked at their site and low and behold Leann will be posing the same pose in the selfie that the model is posing on the website. She really is a wanna be model in a non-model body. Such a delusional Cuntry pumpkin. . . No I did not spell that wrong..

      • briargal says:

        Nope, your spelling is right on! She really does think she is model material but that is only in her own delusional mind.

  38. why? says:

    Eddie is a very bad father. Eddie flew Jake and Mason all the way to Nashville for just 3 days(2 of those days were spent on airplanes for half a day). For what? 6 days in LA free of Leann. For Eddie, Jake and Mason are nothing more than currency. He isn’t interested in protecting or keeping those boys safe, he is only interested in coming up with ways to use those kids to hurt Brandi and get gifts or vacations from Leann. He dragged those kids all the way to Nashville just so that Leann could pap them at airports and post photos of them on instagram because he got 6 days free of Leann.

    Why did Leann stage this 3 day reunion with her father, Eddie, Kiki, Jake, and Mason? Did she need money? Is she filming scenes for season 2 of her reality show just in case VH1 changes their mind?

    She tweeted a cryptic message about God and timing. Some thought she was saying she was pregnant, but that couldn’t be it because she has been tweeting and posting photos and videos about drinking, riding 4 wheelers, and shoeing horses. Is she hinting that VH1 finally agreed to renew her show or that Darrell bribed another one of his friends to give her a job?

    • briargal says:

      I really can’t comprehend how Darrell thinks that hanging around this loser is helping his “career”. People are laughing at her and thus at him. Does he even stop to think about that??

  39. why? says:

    Leann finally got her happy family staged photo-op at the airport with Jake and Mason . x17 posted photos of Eddie, Leann, Mason, and Jake at LAX last night. Kiki was there too, but since Leann wants everyone to think that Kiki left Nashville just an hour before Eddie arrived to Nashville, x17 didn’t post any photos of Kiki. Eddie drags those kids to Nashville for 3 days, they spend 2 of those days on airplanes and then the day before they have to go back to school, they are paraded before the paps at LAX.

    The airport photos are so sad because the boys are trying to shield themselves from the paps, while Eddie and Leann just stand behind them or to the side of them smiling. In some of the photos, Mason has his arms up in front of his face. For most of the staged airport photo-op, Jake was hiding behind Mason. That is until Leann and Eddie tried to position him so that the paps got shots of face. In one photo Jake is behind Mason and Eddie grabs his hand like he is trying to pull him from behind Mason. In another, Jake is behind Mason and Leann is standing behind/to the side of him with her hands under Jake’s armpits turning him to the side so that he faces the paps. Throughout the entire staged photo-op at LAX Eddie was smiling like he was walking a red carpet. Eddie is sick. 6 days free of Leann was worth the safety and privacy of his kids. Eddie was able to fly out LAX on Sunday without being papped, so the only reason the paps showed up at LAX Tuesday night was because Leann set it up.

    I also think it’s interesting how Leann and Eddie are positioned in this staged photo-ops. Both Eddie and Leann put Jake and Mason between themselves as the paps. They are either standing behind or next Jake and Mason, never putting themselves between the paps and Jake and Mason to shield them from the paps. If Eddie truly loved his kids, he would have put himself between the paps and his kids instead of standing behind or off the side of them smiling like it’s a red carpet.

  40. why? says:

    Leann is really trying to bait Brandi right now. Brandi gave an interview yesterday saying that the feud between her and Leann is over. What does Leann do? She pays one site to write an article about the staged happy family photo-op at LAX last night, saying that Mason and Jake are Leann and Eddie’s sons and that Mason and Jake are Leann’s boys.

    Since Eddie is being slammed for dragging those kids to Nashville for just 3 days with 2 of those days being spent on airplanes, Leann also had those sites write that Jake, Mason, and Eddie were with her for a week in Nashville.

    Leann must have been on the phone all morning arranging for every blog to post the airport photos of Jake and Mason. Leann really did go to her father’s farm to get money. Before her visit to her father’s farm, only one blog would have posted the photos.

    • Bobbiesue says:

      This is all terribly disturbing. Sigh.

    • briargal says:

      And yet LR’s 10 fans are always saying BRANDI needs to get over it and move on! LR and her few fans really need emotional and mental help!

      As to the kids being flown to Nashville to be with HER, didn’t she complain of a really bad sore throat? Yet she wants the kids to waste their time and expose them to whatever. Unless of course she was lying about the throat. Wait a minute… she was breathing thus lying!!!

    • briargal says:

      Can anyone say “desperation”! She is sooooo desperate for attention that she is trying to rile up Brandi. Maybe desperate for money—“Hi, Daddy. I wuv u!” Or desperate for the possibllity of a career revival— Again, “Hi, Daddy. I wuv u!” Sooo sad that she is begging for attention!!!

  41. why? says:

    Leann is so predictable. This morning she is complaining about jet lag and not getting enough sleep the past 2 days. If Leann has jet lag after spending 8 days in Nashville, imagine how bad Mason and Jake must have jet lag since Eddie flew them to Nashville for just 3 days(with 2 of those days being spent on airplanes and being papped at LAX). Leann doesn’t have jet lag, she has a major hangover because she was up all night drinking as she was waiting on Eddie to return home. Eddie must have spent the night with his girlfriend because Leann spent her night tweeting about soup and all the fun she was having with Jake and Mason trying to decorate for Christmas. Brandi needs to get those kids away from Eddie and Leann before it’s too late. Eddie only wants to be near Jake and Mason to taunt Brandi and get gifts from Leann. Leann wants to be near them to keep herself relevant and to taunt Brandi.

    Leann hired a dancer from You Think You Can Dance to teach her dance moves for the Dec 3 tree lighting. Leann really did spend 3 days with her father to more money and have her dad call in some favors.

    Something just set Leann off because she is having a tweetfest right.
