LeAnn Rimes arrives at LAX: was she drunk or just drunk on attention?

FFN_RImes_LeAnn_BJJ_062915_51786188

Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes arriving at LAX yesterday. I think she looks drunk. Perhaps she’s just drunk on attention though – her mood definitely brightened when she saw the paparazzi. Like, she thinks the paparazzi were just there for her, because she’s so amazing and famous. When in truth, the paparazzi just hang out at LAX all day getting arrival photos of celebrities, and the paps were probably mainly there for Kim Kardashian. Hilariously, she also tweeted this:

I think LeAnn was coming back after performing at the St. Louis Pride Parade over the weekend. That’s what her Instagram seemed to indicate. LeAnn has been doing a bit better about actually showing up for her scheduled appearances and performances lately, which probably means we’re due for another “emergency” medical event, which will only last as long as a flight back to Eddie, where she will “recover” by donning a bikini and taking lots of photos.

As for that Star Magazine story a few weeks back that LeAnn was finally pregnant… I missed this initially, but LeAnn did sort of deny the story on her Twitter, writing: Update: nevermind, that tweet was old! So, she hasn’t explicitly denied it, I guess?

Also, I have a confession: I’m a Twitter idiot and I only recently realized that I could see someone’s entire tweeting history by pressing the “Tweets & Replies” button. I’m absolutely amazed by how much LeAnn tweets, mostly to her “fans,” throughout the day, every day. Someone really does need another round of Twee-hab.

    That denial is from January. And she is wearing a lot of flowy tops lately. She might have procreated…

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      She might have procreated… This sentence just gave me chills. Cue music from The Omen. #Sanctus dominus.

      • Cindy says:

        Gives me chills too. Leann will not be amusing anymore if she procreates. At that point her life would become a tragedy….the child’s tragedy that is.

    • funcakes says:

      That would be your alcohol bloat. Unless she’s growing the baby in her butt

    • LA Juice says:

      Damn it I was just about to say I loved that dress, but now that I can visualize that it might be covering up the spawn of Satan, you’ve ruined it for me!

    • why? says:

      Leann was in NYC drinking around June 15 or June 16, so she hasn’t procreated. When she was in Canada with Kiki over the weekend, she posted a photo of the drinks they had while at a bar.

  2. MrsBPitt says:

    Before I read the header, at first glance, I thought that was Lindsey Lohan!

  3. GPSB says:

    “Was she drunk or just drunk on attention?”

    Why not both?

    • vickie says:

      Where does one find the time to spend literally all day on the phone, tweeting, instagramming, facebooking and whatever else one does on social media? I just cannot understand why she can NEVER put her phone down!

      • claire says:

        She has thousands. THOUSANDS of pins on Pinterest. Motivational quotes mostly. Don’t forget her chalkboard, too. If she put any of this attention on her music she could maybe move up from selling 10,000 albums to 25,000. 😉

      • Esmom says:

        I think it’s an addiction. She must seriously not do anything else with her time. And I’m sure she’s killing some brain cells. I see it with my teens when they spend too much time on their devices…they start to become unable to focus on other stuff like schoolwork or reading.

        I think it can be a battle for some people to keep their tech use in line and have balance in their lives. And balance does not seem to be LeAnn’s forte.

      • Jess says:

        I look at her twitter feed for entertainment, she’s always talking about how busy she is and I think she truly believes she’s on the same level as Taylor Swift, it’s almost sad how delusional she is. She’s online literally all day trying to prove how happy she is, real celebrities don’t have time for that!

      • Tate says:

        @Jess I look at her twitter over morning coffee for entertainment also. I saw she tweeted how exhausted she was after 3 days of work. 3 days???

        Does she realize most people work at least 5 days EVERY week???

        I guess compared to her lazy husband she is a hard worker.

      • claire says:

        She once did 3 shows over 5 days. Meaning, she had a day off in between each. Only thing she had going on that month. The first day off she was lying on the airport floor, waiting for her flight, complaining how exhausted she was and was going to be struggling to get through her “tour.” She’s lazy and attention-seeking. Plain and simple. I don’t think it’s real exhaustion, she just has to pretend she’s a jet setter and super busy.

        On top of that, she tweets the whole time about how she can barely handle it to her fans. Like it’s just going to be pure torture for her to even perform for them. For a whole 50 minutes if the fans are lucky. She’s lazy and has zero professionalism. People talk about how she should do a real tour or get a residency but that’s never going to happen. She could never actually do all that work.

      • NativeAtlantaGirl says:

        I do social media professionally – for businesses, some athletes, and a few minor celebs…. I took up backpacking so that I could decompress and not have signal for a few days but was disappointed to discover you actually can get a signal on a fair amount of the Appalachian Trail. :-/ I kayaked thru the Grand Canyon for 18 days without social media. Loved it.

        Some people think it is a meaningful exchange – usually that if a celeb acknowledges them, a bond is created – cannot imagine what goes on in her head. (Haven’t looked at her feeds) You can create a completely different persona and have “relationships” – but when you are in the public eye, a lot more up to scrutiny. She should have anonymous personal accounts for that much private info – professional accounts should show glimpses of personal life, but you don’t want to overshare.

    • laura in LA says:

      MTE…drunk or drunk on attention, does it matter?

  4. Shambles says:

    That #dress is soooo #unfortunate

    • Mollie says:

      The dress is a “hey, take a picture so I can talk about you taking a picture and everyone will think I’m pregnant” dress.

  5. Pinky says:

    “Soooo happy to be going home to my hubby’s arms”

    Having a husband is a great achievement. Haters!

    • Shambles says:

      No one understands her!

      • funcakes says:

        I think the problem is that everyone see right through her. That’s why we’re considered haters.
        If you adore her and never question her,your a fan.

    • lassie says:

      Well, when you have a husband as sexy, loyal and awesome as Eddie, you need to shove it everyone’s face how great your marriage is. Which totally is great, by the way, you jealous hater, you.

      • claire says:

        Supposedly when she got home Ediot had flipped the switch on the electric fireplace, lit candles, had Christmas music playing and put an Excited sign on the front door. Believable? LOL. Have a hard time imagining he does this stuff….the guy who got her Walgreens-looking photo frames for an anniversary once and who talked to her on their show with all the passion of an older brother dealing with his annoying clingy little sister.

      • Christin says:

        @claire — That is a spot-on description of their chemistry on that show. She seemed far more into him than the other way around.

      • Deanne says:

        @claire He probably put the ” Excited” sign on the door right after she left and had forgotten to take it down before she arrived home. Remember, this is the man who had her fetch sushi in the way home from the airport, rather than pick her up and who has her convinced that a deformed piece of rotting wood, is the ultimate romantic gift.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      She is giving Eddie a heads-up..”I’m on my way home, toss the ho!”

  6. Dawn says:

    Probably a little of both! Although I flew drunk once and it really is awful. I don’t recommend it to anyone.

  7. anne_000 says:

    Yeah, the paps were falling all over themselves trying to get a photo of her and just waiting and hoping that she’d show up at the LAX some day. They just get all stalkerish for her. Sure.

    She looks so much like John Denver, especially when she puts on dark sunglasses.

    • Jonesy says:

      LOL! Oh man…she does! John Denver looks much better, though.

      • Christin says:

        He does. And John was such a good singer who was said to enjoy performing. I have read that he would sometimes perform for approximately three hours, just enjoying making the audience happy.

        This one isn’t cut from that cloth, IMO.

  8. Christin says:

    She’s been relatively quiet for a week or two, so expect some drama before or during her birthday MONTH.

    • funcakes says:

      Someone mentioned a story may be coming out about her dwindling fortune.

      • Christin says:

        Interesting. I recall a story along that same theme coming out a couple of years ago (when Eddie was looking less than happy in most photos).

        I think she will prompt a lot of attention stories such as bump watch number 208, but wonder who leaks the dwindling assets stories. She seems to enjoy appearing to have lots of liquid assets (insert laxative/shart joke here).

      • Renae says:

        Just read a blip in OK mag that she and Dumbo are broke and may be facing foreclosure. Don’t believe much of anything mags say but I could see that one being true.

      • Christin says:

        The OK teaser claims Lizzy and her husband loaned them a large amount toward their house down payment three years ago???

        I would not be surprised that they have lived far beyond their means for a long time, but to have to borrow a down payment (to get the loan around 80% or so, I suspect) is incredibly poor money management on their part, IMO.

  9. Jane says:

    You are right. Leann tweets her fans; one in particular who is downright IN-LOVE with Leann….and she is a woman. If you check this fan’s twitter page you’ll never be the same again. It’s unreal.

    • Arock says:

      I bit and looked, it the Joannaha woman, right? that’s so awkward and crazy. It puts the lotion on the skin….

      • Jane says:

        You are 100% right. It’s actually frightening how she calls Leann her “love” and her “Tomato”. Now I’m old school and my grandfather once told me that when a man called a woman a “tomato” back in his day it meant she was desirable to him and he wanted get to know her better if you get my meaning. I do not know if this woman is not getting the right picture on this, but if she knows the true meaning; I shudder at the thought. The woman literally lives and breathes Leann daily. Her instagram shows a picture of her shrine to Leann with pretty much the whole thing decorated with Leann memorabilia and some race car driver. She said that the only reason she is alive today is because of Leann and she means more to her than anyone or anything. I think I would need therapy if I went through her whole twitter account (Not that I have any intention to). I do not know what is worse: the fact that Leann encourages this behavior, or the behavior itself.

      • claire says:

        She has to encourage it. Notice that the people she talks to the most and encourages all have special issues. Most have below average mental faculties. They blindly follow her and will do an amazing amount of mental gymnastics to defend her. She DMs with these people, she texts with these people. When she flubbed on X-Factor they were quiet. Once her all-Carly’s-fault excuse was let out, THEN they started defending her, they just were all waiting around to see what party line to follow. She knows she can use, manipulate them and keep them in line – it’s really gross. They provide her the narcissistic feed she has to have to keep in her bubble of delusion.

    • funcakes says:

      Everyone has a nickname for her. She loves to send pictures of her foot and complains about being in pain.
      She also likes to beg for freebies. Everyone called out in it then she disappeared.
      She’s back now.
      She claimed to be s nursing student but I doubt it because she’s had numerous surgeries on her feet while going to nursing school?
      Plus doing rounds? Plus follow LeAnn on tour. No I don’t think so.

      • Jane says:

        I saw the nickname for her and it is similar to her twitter name. She BEGS for people to sympathize with her. She said she has multiple surgeries to her heart as well. (I think more than 20?) LOL–the freebies bit got me. Didn’t know about that. It sounds exactly like something Leann does. I wonder who started that craze first?

      • Deanne says:

        I get the feeling that she has been babied and coddled because of her health issues and is extremely emotionally stunted. Her behaviour comes across as more that of a child than a adult old woman. There is a Vine account that I’ll choose to call “interesting” and she makes youtube videos detailing her ailments constantly. I could honestly see a Misery situation happening with LeAnn. She seems to be in love with her. The way she relentlessly begs for freebies and attention is really over the top.

      • Arock says:

        She’s emotional stunted for sure with a victim complex. That must be exhausting to be around.
        Her obsession with Leann is frightening. So now I’m curious- what’s the back story with her? Everyone seems familiar with her behavior and profiles, was there some trigger for the stalky behavior outside of a fan gone wrong relationship?

      • claire says:

        I don’t know that there’s any special story beside her having health issues and since she listened to Leann’s music at hospital, Leann ‘saved her life.’ Everyone just knows about her because all it takes is looking at Leann’s twitter for 5 minutes and seeing the multitude of messages the woman sends to Leann daily. She’s prolific, to say the least. She doesn’t seem as nasty though as Leann’s other sychopants, like the ones Leann gives private information to about Brandi so they can harass her and such.

  10. lisa2 says:

    OK I’m going to step into it.. but some of the people that are on Leanne didn’t do that to Jennifer Lawrence. She was having fun with the paps.. maybe Leanne is doing the same.

    I know LR is not liked much on this site.. but maybe she is doing the same thing as some of the other female celebs..just joking around. Or not..but who knows.

  11. 90shasbeen says:

    They were there for Kim K. LMAO! But give this has been a little attention because she desperately seeks it out. I mean her next tour is at a truckstop in the middle of a Nevada desert. She’s such a supastah!

    • claire says:

      I hope someone posts the pics of the run-down travel plaza. Those are hilarious!

      • Jane says:

        Google: Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza. Yelp will show you pictures. Didn’t know if I could put the link here, so I best be safe than sorry.

    • funcakes says:

      Some fans were asking for information about buying tickets for her next concert. She said she didn’t know. Then someone tweeted it was a free concert. Busted!
      When she was on her Xmas tour she was not only hawking ticket she was selling meet and greets plus that awful merchandise.
      Lying liars who lie.

      • claire says:

        I saw that. Someone wanting to go to her show asking how to buy tickets and she says ‘don’t know’ and leaves it at that. Ummm…who does that?!

    • Jane says:

      I saw pictures of that place and I burst out laughing.

      • Deanne says:

        What are you saying? You didn’t think that the tent filled with fireworks was awesome? She’s playing in the parking lot and the public restroom will no doubt serve as her dressing room and warm-up space. Her career is literally in the toilet. The thing is, she hasn’t cancelled lately because she obviously can’t. She needs the money and she’s burned so many other places, that this kind of gig is all she can get.

      • claire says:

        It’s really bad. She didn’t even get the July 4th spotlight, Bret Michaels did. hahaha.

      • Christin says:

        It’s so much more than fireworks, though. It’s a multiplex of sorts — gas station, restaurant and something else I forgot. 😃

      • funcakes says:

        Yeah, she was in Canada the last couple of days. Sad when you have to travel that far just to play small gigs. She burned a lot of people canceling. I’m amazed she never thought about that when she faked all those illnesses.

      • Andji says:

        She was here in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada on Friday, June 26th playing at Bud Country Fever lol.

  12. briargal says:

    Pretty bad when a Leaky story (and her whole life actually) is just a yawner. She is soooo boring!! Same old crap, just another day!

  13. funcakes says:

    Every time I see her getting on or off a plane she seems to look inebriated in or another. I’m guessing she’s tanking up because:
    1) She hates touring
    2)She hates the toilets she has to play
    3)She knows Eddie is going to be with side pieces and could give a carp she’s away.

    That’s why she made such a big deal about his birthday/ father’s day. She took him on a “Please don’t cheat on me while I’m in Canada” shopping sprees. Plus dragged him around for the Billy Joel Tribute so Eddie can rub elbows with the more famous.
    But we all know Eddie’s gonna do whatever he wants anyway and all she can to is down another bottle of tequila.

  14. chaunceyandstuyvesant says:

    I think her dress is pretty.

  15. Jane says:

    @Arock: Seeing that I didn’t go through her entire twitter feed and Instagram I am lead to believe that when this woman had serious amounts of heart surgeries and she listened to Leann’s music. She met Leann at a meet and greet because she insisted she was dying. She met Leann, had more surgeries and survived.

    • Jane says:

      Dear God, I just realized I posted total gibberish. Let me rephrase. This woman underwent a lot of surgeries. She listened to Leann’s music to get her though and begged to have Leann meet her . She insisted that she was dying. She met Leann at a Meet and Greet, had another surgery and lived. Therefore she insists that Leann saved her life.

  16. Zooyork says:

    Leanne looks like Michael Jackson.

  17. karen2 says:

    …however. she looks 1000% great…lovely dress, lovely boots, tan, hair & bag.

  18. why? says:

    These photos were taken by FameFlynet and AKM-GSI, so they weren’t just there waiting for Leann. They were paid by Leann to be at LAX. Notice there are no photos of Kiki with Leann during any portion of the stroll through LAX, but we know that Kiki was there with Leann because she tweeted that she after arriving to LAX, she got back on another plane to head home to Brazil.

    Leann has taken Eddie on another vacation, and once again she spent the entire first day of that vacation on twitter and instagram.
