Another day, another “LeAnn Rimes: pay attention to me” story. That’s basically what they all boil down to. When something actually notable and maybe legitimate happens in LeAnn’s tailored for public consumption life, she jumps on it like a small mangy dog humping your leg, a dog that would hump your leg even if you were wearing sandpaper pants. So a drunk driver crashed through the gate on LeAnn’s property, and no one was hurt since they were either away or safely ensconced in their home, which was probably a full country lane down from the accident, but of course LeAnn had to tweet all about it. She predictably got sanctimonious about it too, and was so happy to lecture us on the dangers of drunk driving.
On Monday morning, a car — driven by a suspected drunk driver — plowed into the fence of the home shared by LeAnn Rimes, husband Eddie Cibrian and his two sons.
Police confirmed to E! News that a 20-year-old driver with a suspended license knocked over a stop sign before smacking into a light pole and fence of the singer and actor’s gated community home. The unidentified driver is believed to have been under the influence, but toxicology reports are pending.
Rimes, 30, flew out of town on Monday night to North Carolina, but talked about the incident via Twitter.
“To address the accident that happened in front of our home this morning, everyone is ok and safe. However, if drunk driving was involved it is terribly sad,” she wrote.
“My family could have been seriously injured and any situation where someone is drinking and driving should not be taken lightly. Needless to say, it was a very unsettling call to receive this morning. Thank goodness the young driver and everyone at home are ok.”
She replied to a tweet with, “Yes, we are ok. I’m sure it will hit me when I go home tonight and see our fence. The pics are terrifying.”

This happened to LeAnn’s house, maybe-not-so-coincidentally, on the exact same day that her nemesis, her husband Eddie’s ex wife Brandi Glanville, appears in her second episode on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Cue dramatic hamster. Brandi has a DUI in her past, and suddenly, on the day of the night that Brandi appears on television, a drunk driver plows into LeAnn’s fence. It all works too conveniently in LeAnn’s favor for my taste. I wouldn’t put it past her to have paid some dude to do this, although this is a stunt that seems way too hard to stage given that law enforcement is involved. E! got confirmation from the police department and everything.
E! has a recap of Brandi’s appearance on RHOBH. I’m not going to watch it, sorry. I can’t stand those shows now, and you guys know why.
