Eddie Cibrian has officially filed for divorce from his wife, Brandi Glanville, according to E!. Eddie filed earlier this week, and Brandi went straight to E! and People Magazine to dish the dirt and get out a few more bitchy statements. Which is totally her right, and I hope she keeps it coming. First, here’s E!’s report – Brandi jokes that she’s “looking forward” to seeing pictures of Eddie and LeAnn Rimes on vacation:

Eddie Cibrian, who is finally romancing LeAnn Rimes out in public (sort of), has filed for divorce from his wife of eight years, Brandi Glanville, E! News confirmed Tuesday.

“He filed yesterday and I accepted it,” Glanville told E! exclusively. “We’re getting a divorce. We talked to each other yesterday.”

Which was just in time, apparently, because it turns out that Cibrian is already planning a romantic getaway with his “new” girlfriend, according to his soon-to-be ex-wife.

“They’re going on vacation this weekend to Mexico,” Glanville, who has made no secret of her feelings toward the recently separated Rimes, told E! “I’m looking forward to seeing those pictures.”

A rep for Cibrian had “no comment” at this time.

Glanville and Cibrian, who have two children together, confirmed about a month ago that they had separated—a good four months after rumors arose of an affair between the 36-year-old hunk and Rimes, his costar in the Lifetime movie Northern Lights. Rimes and estranged hubby Dean Sheremet revealed just days later that they had been living apart “for quite some time.”

Which apparently didn’t come as a surprise to Glanville, who says in the latest issue of Us Weekly that Cibrian is “a compulsive liar, cheater and a home wrecker.”

“Eddie’s displays of poor taste have hurt our two children,” she said. “Eddie may just end up drowning himself in that ‘unfair fishbowl.’”

But now that divorce proceedings are under way, Glanville is seeing things in a more positive light.

“It’s just over for me,” she told E! News. “We’re both happy. This is going to be good.”

Brandi also gave a good interview to People yesterday, where she talked about how she met LeAnn when she and Eddie were working on Northern Lights. Brandi noticed how LeAnn and Eddie flirted with each other, but she also noticed how close LeAnn and then-husband Dean Sheremet seemed. Brandi pulls a fast one and says that she’s been trying to contact Dean – I bet she has!

Long before Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes took their relationship public last week, Cibrian’s wife Brandi Glanville had an inkling that her husband was attracted to the singer.

Recalling when she and Cibrian went on double dates with Rimes and husband Dean Sheremet in Canada during the filming of Lifetime’s Northern Lights, Glanville says she noticed a little flirting between the costars.

“We went to play pool, went for sushi, dancing,” Glanville tells PEOPLE, adding that although she’s used to woman fawning over her husband, “it was different this time. It was a little more reciprocated.”

At the same time, Glanville noticed how affectionate Rimes, 27, was with Sheremet, 28. “They were very touchy-feely,” she says. “They seemed happy. [But] I felt like it was almost like ‘I love my husband. I’m not after your husband.’”

After reports of an affair surfaced in March, Glanville, 36, says she and Cibrian, 36, sought counseling to try and salvage their marriage, and she publicly stood by in him in April.

“We were in therapy, but he never stopped talking to [LeAnn] so how could that have worked?” asks Glanville, who says she plans to file for divorce.

Cibrian and Rimes took their relationship public last week – one month after Rimes and Sheremet announced their separation – at a public golf date Thursday and a Kings of Leon concert Saturday.

Now, Glanville says she’s been “trying to get a hold of” Sheremet. “I feel bad for Dean. It’s a horrible situation for him. I don’t think he’s ready to have a conversation about not being with her.”

Brandi is the nagging reminder to all of those people who are all “Oh, LeAnn and Eddie make such a cute couple!” No – they do not make a cute couple. Eddie is a douchey womanizer who cheated on his wife, and will cheat on LeAnn because that’s his nature. When you look at it that way, Brandi seems to be right – they do deserve each other.

While Eddie Cibrian’s estranged wife Brandi Glanville continues to issue hilariously bitchy statements to the press, LeAnn Rimes’ estranged husband Dean Sheremet has been keeping a very low profile. After the initial separation announcement, the only public statement Dean made was via Twitter, where he wrote: “Thanks to everyone for all the support through a very difficult time.” Now sources are telling Fox News 411 that Dean is already preparing to move out of the Nashville home he and LeAnn shared for during their seven year marriage. Dean is moving to New York – and he’s taking the dogs with him. Ouch.

It looks like Eddie Cibrian is free to move in with LeAnn Rimes in Nashville if he wants, because her husband Dean Shremet has moved out and on with his life.

Sheremet, a songwriter and one-time back-up dancer for LeAnn, has vacated their Nashville mansion to move into his own bachelor pad in New York City, FOX411 has learned. The Michigan native has been visiting NYC over the last month checking out apartments, and he packed his things and moved out of their Nashville home last week.

And he took their dogs with him!

“Dean is moving on, looking for work and creating a fresh start in New York City,” an insider close to Sheremet tells FOX411. “He’s excited to be in New York and plans to take advantage of his connections over the years to focus on his career.”

“LeAnn has clearly moved on with Eddie in California and it was time for Dean to make a major change of his own,” the source continues. “He’s trying to stay friends with LeAnn, but her public relationship with Eddie is no easy thing to avoid. Dean is a nice guy, trying to live a normal, quiet life.”

Meanwhile, Eddie’s soon-to-be-ex-wife Brandi Glanville continues to dish on Eddie’s less than stellar parenting.

A neighbor of the Cibrians tells FOX411 “there was a time when they were a happy family. They shopped together and went to the park with their two young boys. It is very sad to see it all come falling down. Brandi is so angry at Eddie, I’m not sure they will ever be able to get past all the deceit.”

[From Fox News 411]

While I think it’s great that Brandi Glanville is being so vocal about her anger, I also applaud Dean’s silence. Whether or not those pesky rumors are true (that he’s gay, and/or that he and LeAnn had an open marriage), I think Dean is showing a great deal of class with the way he’s handled things thus far. No matter his sexuality, it’s got to hurt him on some level to see his wife so openly moving on with Eddie Cibiran. I’ve got to wonder if there’s something other than respect and love motivating him. What do you think Dean’s payout will be in the divorce? Do you think LeAnn will give him more money for keeping his mouth shut?

In the wake of LeAnn Rimes’ separation from Dean Sheremet, it seems like everything should be coming up roses. She’s now openly able to see her lover Eddie Cibrian, who just split from his wife. She doesn’t have to pretend anymore with Dean – who maybe, possibly, probably beeps on every gaydar, or maybe they just had a really great understanding about other men – for both of them. Even though Dean’s public statement (via Twitter) was a little sad (“Thanks to everyone for all the support through a very difficult time!”), it’s the dawn of a new day for LeAnn. But that’s not the way she sees it. LeAnn was performing at the Deer Valley Music Festival – without her wedding ring – and she gave a loaded introduction to one of her songs:

Performing at the Deer Valley Music Festival in Utah, Rimes spoke to concert goers about the difficulties of being in a relationship.

“You know, I think that you will all really be able to relate to this next song in your lives. You probably know it’s inevitable that in a relationship, sometimes you will have your heart broken at some point,” she said. “Sometimes, you might say that you can’t do anything and sometimes, you want revenge. Sometimes, you say, ‘You’re not worth it.’ But sometimes, you don’t, and that’s when you leave it in God’s hands and know that he will take care of it.”

After reports surfaced that the singer was allegedly having an affair with her Northern Lights costar Eddie Cibrian, a source close to Rimes and Sheremet tells PEOPLE that their relationship may have simply run its course.

“They were so young when they got married, she was 19, he was 21,” the source says. “Maybe they just grew up and they weren’t in the same place anymore. I don’t think that’s unusual considering how young they were when they got married, and the business they’re in.”

Adds a friend of the couple: “They were so close, I believe that however the marriage works out, they will always be the best of friends.”

[From People]

It’s surprising to me how LeAnn hasn’t taken much of a hit for this. Neither has Eddie Cibrian, for that matter. Every tabloid has some sweet little “I’m praying for them” or “maybe they’ll get back together” quotes from LeAnn and Dean’s unnamed friends. And now LeAnn is alluding to her broken heart and puttin’ things in “God’s hands”. Blech. Why play the goody-goody? I don’t get it.

Why aren’t more of the tabloids really pressing the whole “For goodness sake, an adulterous married man is going to run off with his adulterous married mistress” thing? Maybe Eddie and LeAnn aren’t really going to run off together – obviously, their sexual chemistry is hot enough to keep the affair going, but Eddie comes off as extremely sleazy now. LeAnn does too… so maybe they’re meant for each other.

Not all that surprisingly, LeAnn Rimes and her husband Dean Sheremet have separated. They let the world know via a “friend,” who was savvy enough not to announce their marital woes until after 5 p.m. on a Friday. What a PR knowledgeable friend. Of course the friend also insists Dean and LeAnn have been having problems long before she met and had an affair with Eddie Cibrian. Who – conveniently enough – just separated from his wife three days ago. All these coincidences…

Four months after reports surfaced that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were allegedly having an affair, a source tells PEOPLE that the country singer is no longer living with her husband, Dean Sheremet.

“Le and Dean have been separated for quite some time now, but they’re continuing to try and work through their relationship, a Rimes pal says.

The couple married in 2002, when she was only 19. Last August (six months before their seventh anniversary), they threw a “Seven-Year Itch” party to, as Rimes put it, “remember how blessed we are.”

News of their separation comes days after Cibrian’s wife, Brandi Glanville, said she and the actor were splitting.

“Eddie is a devoted and loving father first and foremost and the speed bump he and Brandi are experiencing needs to be worked out privately for everyone’s benefit,” his manager said in a statement.

Cibrian, 36, who is joining the cast of C.S.I. Miami this fall, has denied he was having an affair with Rimes, his costar in the Lifetime original movie Northern Lights, which they filmed last fall.

In March, the Rimes pal confirmed the singer and Sheremet were having problems in their marriage, but maintained Cibrian was “not the cause,” adding, “There have been issues brewing for months prior to meeting Eddie on set.”

[From People]

I certainly don’t find that last little bit a surprise at all. Kaiser’s theory is that LeAnn and Dean have always had an open relationship, which makes sense, especially given that they didn’t split up right away. However a lot of people think Dean is gay and he and LeAnn don’t have a sexual relationship. Unfortunately they have yet to confirm any of these rumors, but hopefully a Barbara Walters interview will happen soon and she’ll ask those tough, nosy questions that drive us crazy. It is absolutely none of my business, but I so want to know what the deal was between those two.

Regardless of all the requisite talk about working through things, remaining friends, having the utmost respect for one another (those last two will be coming in the next few weeks, I guarantee you), I’m sure we’ll be seeing LeAnn and Eddie “out and about” in Us Weekly in under a month. Maybe under the cover of sunglasses and out-of-date trucker hats, but there they’ll be. A month after that, they’ll be openly attending events together. “Working on it” as they all might claim to be, these marriages are kaput.

In Touch Weekly got called out this week. It was a pretty good one too. They’re running a story about how LeAnn Rimes is preparing to divorce her husband Dean Sheremet and run off with still-married Eddie Cibrian. According to that report, LeAnn had basically told husband Dean to pack his bags and Dean is “completely distraught and heartbroken.” Here’s the original report:

Signing autographs for country music fans at the Nashville Convention Center on June 14, LeAnn Rimes looked as if there was nowhere she’d rather be.

“She looked really pretty, and she was smiling a lot,” says fan Miranda Montgomery, who was at the convention center for the CMA Music Festival.

But 20 miles away at their home in Franklin, Tenn., LeAnn’s husband, dancer Dean Sheremet, was not in a good mood at all.

According to an insider close to the couple, LeAnn, 26, has told him that she is ready to file for divorce — and that she’s leaving him in the hopes of being with her married TV movie co-star Eddie Cibrian.

“He is completely distraught and heartbroken,” says an insider.

[From In Touch Weekly]

Not so much, according to LeAnn’s spokesperson, Rhett Usry. Usry told E! that “Contrary to any tabloid rumors, LeAnn is not seeking a divorce.” Of course not. Why would she seek a divorce when Dean knows what’s up? I really, really believe that LeAnn and Dean have an open marriage that involves extracurricular men… for both of them. The problem seems to be the public’s expectations of this woman who once had a sickly-sweet, wholesome image. What will happen when that vanilla image gets supplanted by the image of a sex-starved wife in an open marriage with her gay best friend, homewrecking her way to sexual pleasure? It certainly makes her more interesting, at least.

For a quick recap, let me just say that all of the best soap opera/homewrecking drama is happening with B and C-List celebrities. First, US Weekly busted married LeAnn Rimes and married Eddie Cibrian getting dirty with each other a few months ago. A lot of stuff hit the proverbial fan in the aftermath, but both LeAnn and Eddie’s marriages stayed intact. Then, a few weeks ago, TMZ busted Eddie and LeAnn having drinks together out in public, at a Lakers game. As you would imagine, there’s more drama!

Wednesday, Eddie Cibrian’s wife, Brandi Glanville, went to US Weekly and totally went off about how LeAnn is a crazy stalker, and how LeAnn is constantly “texting and calling” Eddie. Brandi defended her public comments by saying she was “not a scorned wife. I’m a happy wife fighting for what I have.” Of course, Brandi also said, “LeAnn is a stalker… She refuses to leave us alone — it is shameful and scary. People are going to say it takes two to tango and I get that, but at some point LeAnn needs to stop asking him to dance. LeAnn is so desperate for fame she has left her self-respect in the gutter and doesn’t care who she hurts to get what she wants. She’s hurting my family and messing with the wrong mom.”

The whole thing is a bit weird – Brandi seems to be giving Eddie a pass, and blaming the affair totally on LeAnn. LeAnn isn’t taking any of that crap, though. LeAnn issued her own statement – via her spokesperson – this one to People Magazine, which I read as a subtle dig at Brandi. Brandi has to give her statement – not using a spokesperson – to US Weekly, the B-list tabloid, while People Magazine publishes the official record with LeAnn’s statement, via a paid spokesperson. I read it as LeAnn subtly telling Brandi that she (LeAnn) doesn’t really care enough about Brandi to issue her own statement, but LeAnn’s still important enough to get her spokesperson’s calls taken at People. The statement’s a good one, too:

Country star LeAnn Rimes is responding to a report in which Brandi Glanville, the wife of Eddie Cibrian – Rimes’s costar in the Lifetime movie, Northern Lights – claims that the country star is “stalking” her husband.

“These comments are incredibly defamatory,” a spokesperson for Rimes tells PEOPLE. “While there are always two sides to every story, LeAnn continues to remain above the fray and chooses not to play this out in the press.”

Rimes, 26, has been working in Los Angeles, while her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, 28, has been in Nashville writing and producing.

Last month, Rimes was spotted chatting with Cibrian, 35, who’s married to model Glanville, 36, at a L.A. Lakers game, two months after reports of an affair between the country star and the actor. Rimes’s pal told PEOPLE at the time that it was not a planned meeting.

As for Rimes and Sheremet? “They’re still working on their marriage,” says a Rimes pal, who adds that the idea that LeAnn is hungry for fame is “extremely disparaging. To think that someone as successful and accomplished as LeAnn would want this kind of publicity is laughable.”

[From People]

“Defamatory” is a powerful word. It says to me “Shut-up, or I’ll sue your ass until you’re on welfare.” It says “defame this as I steal your husband, lady!” I also like how LeAnn and her husband Dean are totally fine. There’s totally no drama there – maybe because they have an understanding. Just think about it – where is Dean Sheremet in all of this drama? He’s just chilling out, waiting for his wife to come home from her latest date, so they can gossip about the details.

The alleged affair of two married costars is always good gossip, but this LeAnn Rimes-Eddie Cibrian stuff just keeps going and going. US Weekly busted the married LeAnn and the married Eddie having an affair while filming a Lifetime movie. At first, Eddie tried to deny it, but US Weekly was all “we have the video, let’s take a look, shall we?” After that, both LeAnn and Eddie sort of avoided the spotlight, and yet the controversy made that Lifetime movie one of the highest rated premieres on cable television ever.

You’d think that after that very public incident, Eddie and LeAnn would have avoided each other at all costs, simply out of respect for their spouses. Not so much. They were busted having drinks together at a Lakers game just a few weeks ago, and now the National Enquirer is reporting that that little incident was the final nail in the coffin of Eddie’s marriage:

Eddie Cibrian is on even shakier ground with his wife after he was caught with LeAnn Rimes – again!

The 35-year-old TV hunk had convinced his wife Brandi Glanville to give him a second chance after a steamy video showed him kissing the country singer earlier this year, insiders say.

But after Eddie and LeAnn were photographed together recently at a Lakers game, his wife hit the rook, sources say.

“Brandi said this was the last straw!” a friend told the Enquirer. “Eddie trying to talk his way out of it – saying he just bumped into LeAnn at a bar inside the Staples Center where the Lakers were playing. He said, ‘What was I supposed to do?’”

“Brandi told him he should have run the other way. He promised to stay away from LeAnn, and after all the pain and embarrassment he’s already caused Brandi, he went back for seconds! Now their marriage is hanging by a thread.”

[The new photos of Eddie and LeAnn at the NBA payoff game] could end his eight-year marriage for good.

“Brandi believed Eddie last March when he told her that he and LeAnn started to have feelings for each other through working together, but he insisted they never consummated the relationship,” another friend divulged.

He begged for forgiveness and Brandi gave him a second chance for the sake of their sons Mason, 6, and Jake, 2, said the source.

“But now… Brandi admits their situation is pretty hopeless. Eddie just doesn’t want to change,” noted the first source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, June 8 2009]

Yeah, Brandi might want to think about getting out of there. Even if she believed Eddie the first time when he told her there was no affair (did she see the video?), fool me twice, shame on me. I get that Brandi and Eddie have kids together, and it’s not so easy walking away from that, but come on. Eddie and LeAnn were having a torrid affair, and most likely still are. Call it a day.

What’s weird is that there seems to be no controversy within LeAnn’s marriage to Dean Sheremet. They seem really solid. I’m not saying Dean is gay (yes I am), but could it be that Dean and LeAnn have some sort of understanding? Some kind of open marriage? That would probably make them one of the most solid relationships in Hollywood.

LeAnn Rimes and her “hubby” Dean Sheremet are selling their $7.45 million home in Nashville. Her reps are claiming that it’s because they are spending most of their time in NY and LA working on their (her) career. A “friend” of LeAnn’s is quick to point out that the sale has nothing to do with her cheating ways, but I think it may be a way to start getting rid of their mutual financial burdens. The house was completed in 2008, so it’s not as if the home has any emotional significance for the couple.

“LeAnn and Dean’s home is on the market,” the singer/actress’s rep confirms of the $7.45 million property, which was completed in 2008 and features six bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, plus exercise and media rooms.

The decision to sell is not related to reports that Rimes, 26, had an affair with her Lifetime TV-movie co-star Eddie Cibrian, 35, a friend of the country singer tells PEOPLE.

“LeAnn and Dean decided to put their home on the market because she’s been spending more time in L.A. [where the couple also have a home] and New York,” says the friend. “She’s been receiving more offers in the film, TV and theater worlds, so they want to have a footprint in all three cities.” Rimes is currently recording a new country album, due this fall, in Nashville.

Rimes and Sheremet, 28, are committed to their relationship, which still has its ups and downs, says Rimes’s friend. “[LeAnn and Dean] are still having challenges and trying to work through them. They’re working on their marriage.”

[from People]

LeAnn and Eddie Cibrian were seen recently on what was called a “date” at a Laker’s game where neither of their significant others were in attendance, but LeAnn’s “friend” is saying that it was a chance encounter and not planned. That may be true, but don’t you think if there nothing were going on, they would be careful and not speak to each other – especially because they just know there are paparazzi following them around? Just a thought.

I’m betting this marriage won’t last more than a few months longer. Any marriage with a cheating partner is difficult, but this one is being played out in the public eye. And though LeAnn thinks people are interested in the story because she’s famous, it’s really all about the train wreck just waiting to happen.

Here’s LeAnn spending time on the beach with a friend on Sunday. Images thanks to Pacific Coast News.

LeAnn Rimes’ husband Dean Sheremet has been outed as gay by a woman claiming to be his cousin, “Pebbles,” who called into a radio station. The rumor that Sheremet is gay has been circulating since he started dating Rimes, and JayBird wondered if Rimes was hinting that this was an open secret in her strangely worded statement denying the affair but saying that things aren’t blank and white.

Mojo in the Morning spoke to a series of callers claiming that they knew Dean Sheremet and that he was gay. A woman named Pebbles called in to claim that she’s his first cousin and that he’s gay. She couldn’t cite a specific example, like Dean having a boyfriend, and just said the ‘stuff he did when he was a kid’ made him seem like a gay person. She claimed that he didn’t care about the alleged affair. It didn’t sound convincing, and I’m not buying it. You can listen to the whole asine breakfast radio blather if you want. Pebbles is the first caller in part one.

LeAnn Rimes rep has treated the Pebbles call with the contempt it deserves.

Rimes’s rep’s response? “Although Dean and LeAnn never knew they had a cousin named Pebbles, they are glad to hear that she has come out of the woodwork,” he says. “Dean and LeAnn are also interested in connecting with their other long lost family members: Fred, Wilma, Barney and Bamm-Bamm. So Pebbles, please let us know if you have spoken to them, too.”

Us Weekly

LeAnn married Dean when she was 19 and in 2007 talked about wanting to have children with him. The rumors of homosexuality were around then too, but little came of them. While Dean might have been confused about his sexuality, I think a more likely scenario in this saga is that they were married young and weren’t ready for a lifelong commitment. Or perhaps it’s an even simpler explanation: marriages are hard work and plenty of them fail, whether you get married at 19 or 29 or 39.

I can’t help but wonder: is it that celebrities are always blabbing about their baby plans, or that interviewers are always asking? Considering the lengths a lot of celebrities go to in order to hide their pregnancies, it doesn’t make a lot of sense that they’re always talking about their future family plans and putting the paparazzi on alert. Well LeAnn Rimes is jumping on the baby bandwagon… I guess that makes it a station wagon… and telling Redbook that she and her husband of five years, Dean Sheremet, want to have children soon. A lot of other websites have made comments about Dean’s sexuality – I’m not going to do that though. I’ll just mention that other people have questions.

“A country star since she was 13 years old, LeAnn Rimes is now seriously thinking about the next big step in her life: children. ‘We talk about it often,’ Rimes, now 25, tells Redbook magazine in the October issue, of her discussions with her husband, dancer Dean Sheremet. ‘We also talk about the huge responsibility. We wake up some mornings and say, What would we do if we had a kid? How would we work this?’

She didn’t offer a possible timetable – though suggested it may still be a couple years off – but did say she’s reconsidering her earlier plans to adopt, despite lingering fears about childbirth.

“‘I’m a little freaked out by it,’ she tells the magazine. ‘But when I met Dean – I know how compassionate he is about children. So now I want to have a child of ours. I might love being pregnant – you never know. I’m keeping a very open mind about the whole thing. But I do want children, definitely. That’s part of my life I don’t want to miss out on, and I have a lot of love to give that way. I can’t wait.’”

[From People]

I feel LeAnn on the being scared outta your mind to actually go through labor thing. I want kids some day – but I’d prefer that they magically drop out of the sky and down my chimney. No wait, that’s Santa. Though I wouldn’t say no to him either. But I’d really prefer not to have to push 8 pounds of anything out of my body. I don’t care if it’s a baby or a roast ham, if it’s that big, I really don’t believe it’s meant to come out of something that small. Don’t tell me it’s worth it, I know you all say that. But did you really believe that while you were delivering? Yeah, that’s right. Scares the bejebus outta me. LeAnn’s fears make sense, though I’m not sure adopting out of fear of labor is the right way to go either. It’s probably best to adopt because you want to give a home to a kid that needs one, or because you’re unable to have biological kids. Or because you’re scared to death. I changed my mind, it’s a perfectly good reason.
