Brandi Glanville is doing what she needs to do to ensure that her gig on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues into next season. She staged a fake wedding, she revealed a fling with Gerard Butler, she defended revealing her fling with Gerard Butler after he denied ever knowing her, and now she’s issuing some “no sh*t” advice to LeAnn Rimes: that Eddie will cheat on her too. Somewhere in her fat-starved self-obsessed brain, LeAnn knows this and it’s driving her every f’ing decision. It’s got to eat away at her, leading her to cling and clutch and obsess like Gollum next to his dark lake.

“He will be with her until he cheats again,” Glanville tells me. “They won’t be together forever. I’m totally over Eddie. I’ve moved onto Ken. Ken is a better looking Eddie,” she teased about fellow Real Housewife Lisa Vanderpump’s husband, Ken Todd.

But in actuality, Glanville said it hasn’t been easy having her husband leave her for another woman, especially when children are involved.

“We share custody, it’s difficult,” she said. “I think it was more difficult in the beginning to all of a sudden not be with your kids half the time. But now the kids are at my house and say, ‘can we go to dads?’ and when they are at their dad’s house they say, ‘can we go to moms?’”

And although it is awkward when both ladies are forced to interact for the sake of the ex-couple’s children, Glanville said her kids will always be more important than what she thinks about Rimes.

“It was my son’s last soccer game and [Rimes] was there,” she said. “Everyone is making a big deal of it because of the picture [which shows the ladies ignoring one another], but this has gone on for two-and-a-half years. So, for me, I really don’t put too much energy into it because it will eat you alive.”

I believe that Brandi is right, and “Once a cheater…” comes to mind. Brandi later backtracked on Twitter, though, and wrote “I haven’t talked about them specifically! I was talking cheating in general. Uggggg.” But she was quoted as saying (see above) “He will be with her until he cheats again. They won’t be together forever.” How can that be a general comment about cheaters?

Also, I doubt that LeAnn will dump Eddie when he cheats. She’ll believe his excuses and lies and he’ll get better at hiding his side pieces. He’s got too easy of a gig with her fawning all over him and paying for everything. He’s not going to ruin that unless he finds a richer and more naive sugar mamma. They don’t come more eager to please or easier to take advantage of than LeAnn.

In that LeAnn Rimes story I wrote a few days ago, I mentioned that some random psychic had predicted that 2012 was the year that LeAnn Rimes would get pregnant. I said I kind of hoped it would happen, just because it would give LeAnn something to DO, you know? Something to obsess over, something to discuss endlessly. Yes, I’m being selfish – it would be great gossip news, and it would end up being a big story.

But! In Touch Weekly has an interesting story this week about LeAnn’s mixed emotions at the prospect of getting preggo. According to their sources, she’d really like a baby, but she doesn’t want to give up her tiny little body. It gets even sadder – LeAnn believes that Eddie would stop having sex with her if she was knocked up, because he would be so turned off by her pregnancy “bloat”:

As LeAnn Rimes’ one-year wedding anniversary with husband Eddie Cibrian approaches, she is eager to give him the best gift ever – a baby. In fact, LeAnn wants to have a child with Eddie – who has two sons, Mason and Jake, with ex-wife Brandi Glanville – more than anything in the world.

But LeAnn is already struggling to overcome a major roadblack: “She doesn’t want to gain the weight!” a source reveals to In Touch. The reason? A size 0, LeAnn is afraid that when she gets pregnant, Eddie will be turned off be her bloated body. In fact, says the source, LeAnn heard that Eddie stopped having sex with Brandi when she was expecting both Mason and Jake.

“Eddie loves petite girls – the thinner the better,” says the source. But LeAnn knows she won’t be able to maintain her skeletal figure while pregnant. “She fears that Eddie will stray or stop having sex with her if she gains any baby weight.”

Now, she’s having second thoughts, the source says, “LeAnn is truly torn over this.” In fact, she’s so desperate to come up with a solution, she’s even looking using a surrogate mother, the source says.

The dilemma is driving her crazy, and friends think she is making a huge mistake by putting her looks before her desire to start a family.

“Everyone knows how hard LeAnn worked for her body,” says the source. “But it would be really selfish and a shame if she lets that prevent her from becoming a mom.”

Ah, such mixed emotions. Whatever will she choose? Have a baby with her husband and finally graduate from “overly attentive, hyper-narcissistic bonus mom” to “actual mom” OR will she choose to keep her husband’s wandering eye firmly placed on her bones? How sad is it that one of the “reasons” LeAnn doesn’t want to get pregnant is because she thinks/knows Eddie will cheat on her? Congrats, In Touch. You just made me pity LeAnn Rimes.

For the life of me, I will never understand the compulsive famewhore. I understand the selective famewhore – the celebrity, however A-list or however D-list, who tries to suck all of the attention they can get at certain times, usually for some kind of added benefit besides the sheer fact of “getting attention.” But I don’t understand the compulsive ones, like Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian or LeAnn Rimes. Those three women will actively try to steal the spotlight with their budget-ness and busted-ness, even when it’s perfectly obvious that they aren’t wanted. Here’s an example: all of the big A-listers were in LA this weekend for the Golden Globes and all of the pre- and post-Globes parties. There’s no reason for Kim Kardashian to show up anywhere – she’s not needed. Same with Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. And yet they arrived, acting like they were just as relevant as legit film and television stars.

So, with that in mind, what did LeAnn Rimes do while no one was paying attention to her during the Globes-centric weekend? She got a new tattoo and she tweeted about it endlessly. Sigh…

He is the love of her life who barely leaves her side. But if ever LeAnn Rimes is ever apart from her husband Eddie Cibrian, she will only have to look to her foot to be reminded of him. The 29-year-old singer got the words ‘The only one that matters’ daintily tattooed on her foot yesterday.

The Country Music star explained that the phrase came out of a conversation she had had with her husband of just under one year. LeAnn visited celebrity favoured tattoo parlour Shamrock Social Club for the permanent etching. The inking was done by the shop’s owner Mark Mahoney, who counts David Beckham and Lindsay Lohan as his clients.

Of course the Country Music star posted a picture of the finished product on her Twitter account for all of her fans to see. She wrote: ‘Ok….here it is! It’s dainty. All of my tattoos are very feminine.’

Following the post, she received a barrage of questions from fans asking her what it meant, and LeAnn was quick to answer them. At the time of the tattoo, she took a picture of Mahoney getting to work on her foot.

‘Mark Mahoney ROCKS!’ she tweeted, posting a picture of the legendary Hollywood tattoo artist. LeAnn, who already has two other tattoos, explained to her followers that this time around she had no pain.

‘@tobrienz it’s visible in flip flops and yes very meaningful. It’s something Eddie said to me,’ she told one fan.

‘@cmo77 it came out of a conversation Eddie and I were having but yes, it could mean so much,’ she explained further to another.

LeAnn had the etching done on Sunday before going home to watch the Golden Globes.
The singer, who already has two other tattoos, explained to her followers that this time around she had no pain.

‘@Christina4jc I was surprised that it was not painful at all,’ she wrote to one fan.

So “the only one that matters” came out of a conversation with Eddie… meaning it was something she said to him or something he said to her. It’s probably an allusion to how LeAnn is “bullied” and how Eddie’s opinion is the “only one that matters.” Blah. Whatever. Here you go, LeAnn. We’re giving you some attention. There, there.

And you know what? I don’t even think the tattoo is “dainty”. That scroll is much too large.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are on an endless vacation, it seems. First, they went to Mexico with friends before Christmas, and they posed endlessly for the paparazzi. Then they returned briefly to LA for Christmas, and then spent post-Christmas and New Year’s in Aspen. And now that the boys have been shuffled off to Brandi (I’m guessing?), LeAnn is continuing her grand tradition of “bikini bolt-on extravaganza” in Hawaii. Yes, LeAnn and Eddie are Maui now, and these are some photos from their trip. I’m assuming they invited the paparazzi, because some of these photos seem to be shot from a very short distance.

You can see some better, full-body shots of LeAnn here, at The Mail. The Mail claims – and I think rightly – that LeAnn’s body is looking better. As in, less emaciated, and more like she “accidentally” ate some solids. LeAnn spent the better part of 2011 trying to convince the world that she really was eating solids, to the point where I think she might have accidentally consumed some. Whatever is going on with her workout-diet system, it’s improved. I don’t feel like I’m looking at a pair of oversized implants hanging on a skeleton.

Of course, LeAnn’s (slight) weight gain might bring more speculation that she’s pregnant or preparing to get pregnant. LeAnn was tweeting about the pregnancy speculation the other day, saying that there’s “no rush, we’re happy right now.” Then she tweeted “I have never even tried [to conceive a child]. Please stop discussing my ovaries.” On one side, I agree with her – it’s her business, etc. On the other side… she brought it on herself. She was the one tweeting her womb-business to the world. She’s the one papping herself in thong bikinis on the beach. She would show us her pap smear if she thought we were interested.

Here are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, and Eddie’s two sons. They were arriving at LAX from Aspen, I’m guessing. The family (?) stayed in Aspen all of last week, where LeAnn and Eddie arranged some friendly sessions with the paparazzi, just so we could see them making out in ski hats or something. We also found out that LeAnn has a friend! And LeAnn has not driven away this friend yet! Amazing.

Anyway, I was a little light on the subject matter today, so I went through LeAnn’s Twitter to see if she was talking about anything interesting. Of course, LeAnn tells everybody her business. When asked if she and Eddie are trying for a baby, LeAnn wrote, “Who knows. No rush, we’re super happy right now.” Also, her mom and stepfather have moved closer to LeAnn and Eddie in LA, so I guess Eddie is going to have some mother-in-law drama soon. She also tweeted this: “I love my hubby! We’ve had many laughs today. Amazing way to start off 2012!!!! He’s the sweetest!” Blah.

LeAnn and Eddie are coming up on their first wedding anniversary in April. Can you believe they’ve only been married eight months? It feels like years. Granted, their affair started in… 2009? Early 2009, I guess. And then it was months of back and forth while LeAnn stalked Eddie, and then Eddie and Brandi finally split up, etc. So we’ve been talking about Eddie and LeAnn for nearly three years. It feels like decades. Sigh…

These are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian and Eddie’s two sons in Aspen, Colorado yesterday. As you may remember, Eddie and LeAnn spent some time before Christmas in Mexico, where they pap’d themselves daily in various beachwear ensembles, LeAnn’s bolt-ons glistening in the hot Mexican sun. Did that just make you nauseous? I made myself nauseous. After that holiday, LeAnn presumably gave Eddie and her “bonus boys” all of the inappropriate Christmas gifts she could afford, and then everybody headed off to Aspen on Monday.

Apparently, LeAnn has already been bitching about how there’s not “enough” snow in Aspen, and she’s on Twitter 24-7 talking to people, so I have no idea when she finds the time to actually ski or out-mother Brandi Glanville. Speaking of, this Aspen trip was already a controversy a month ago, when it seemed like Eddie and LeAnn were leaking info to the tabloids, claiming that Brandi was being unreasonable about the holiday plans for the kids. Brandi gave us her side of the story in mid-December - go here to review.

By the way, as I was looking through the latest LeAnn news, I found this interesting story about a columnist/blogger who felt the “wrath” of LeAnn Rimes’ cray-cray BFF, Darrell Brown. Go here to read Ilana Angel’s hilarious post on how LeAnn is “totally a skank” and how her BFF Darrell is an idiot.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are currently in Mexico, where they have been pap’ing themselves non-stop. Usually, I just blame LeAnn for calling the photographers, but I have to say… Eddie is posing his ass off too. Go here to The Superficial to see the photos – LeAnn in bikinis, her bolt-ons immobile.

Anyway, In Touch had a hilarious/sad story about LeAnn’s Christmas gifts and I sort of believe it. I believe it because LeAnn just seems like the kind of person who spends way too much money on gifts as a way of buying love. Cupboard love, squint style.

Every day is Christmas with LeAnn Rimes around! According to an insider, LeAnn spoils Eddie Cibrian’s sons, Mason, 8, and Jake, 4, by giving them absolutely anything their little hearts desire, including electric cars and even a $15,000 tree house at their Hidden Hills, California home. Now the step mom-turned-Santa is upping the holiday ante: Mason’s allowance will increase from $5 to $100 a week. As for Eddie? LeAnn, 29, bought the 38-year-old a $150,000 turbo Porsche Panamera, but that pales in comparison to her biggest gift yet: “LeAnn’s told Eddie she intends on tearing up their prenup agreement!” reveals the insider.

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Oh dear God, if LeAnn tears up the prenup, the situation will get epic. I’ve often wondered if Eddie is playing at a long con with LeAnn, but I’ve always come back to the idea that while he probably didn’t care about her when things started, he’s grown to love her over time. But if she rips up the prenup… oh, girl. Is she that dumb? Don’t answer that.

As for raising Mason’s allowance – of course she would be that inappropriate. OF COURSE. Not only that, but LeAnn also recently tweeted a photo of her step-sons, with the name of their school visible in the photo. Brandi Glanville gave an interview to Babble about that and much more:

Just last week LeAnn accompanied her husband Eddie to his kids’ elementary school where the stepmom apparently did a special performance for the school children. While Mason and Jake opened their Elf On A Shelf gifts along with their classmates in their classroom, LeAnn posted a picture of the action on her Twitter page, exposing the name of the boys’ school to millions of Twitter users.

Many of LeAnn’s critics are calling out the country crooner for potentially putting her two stepsons’ safety in danger (as well as their classmates) by having the name of their school leaked out for paparazzi photographers to hound during school hours for photos.
Oh, but it doesn’t stop there.

If that wasn’t enough, the new Mrs. Cibrian allegedly signals the paparazzi to show up wherever she goes with her stepsons, giving them even more unnecessary exposure to the limelight. This, according to Brandi Glanville.

Speaking about the paparazzi and her children’s safety in an exclusive interview with Babble, Brandi says, “Luckily for me I know the places to go with the kids where we generally do not get bothered, like I rarely take them to the Malibu Country Mart, for instance.”

“I do feel like the paparazzi of today are a lot friendlier, less aggressive and more respectful then that of some years back that I have heard about. Our reality is that being photographed is going to happen. This is our new life and if I don’t seem to mind it and on my time we don’t make a big deal of it,” she adds.

And in a very obvious swipe at LeAnn, Brandi says, “I do think however it is inappropriate to schedule photo-ops including my children to promote yourself or draw attention to an already tense situation.”

There’s also rumors going around (as well as evidence) of LeAnn and her associates allegedly cyber bulling Brandi on Twitter. LeAnn, who posed for the NOH8 Campaign in an effort to stop nationwide bullying, seems to be one herself as she is encouraging her followers and Twitter friends to send the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star taunting messages.

If that wasn’t enough, LeAnn also allegedly meets her “friends” on Twitter and invites these strangers to her home while Brandi’s kids are present.

[From Babble]

It really does seem to me that Eddie Cibrian ended up marrying his stalker, and once LeAnn “got” him, she turned her crazy attentions to his ex-wife. I really do think LeAnn is mentally imbalanced, and it scares me that very few people call her out on some of her more ridiculous antics.

Brandi Glanville e-mailed us over the weekend to let us know her side of the “holiday custody battle” story. We heard a few days ago that Brandi threatened to have her ex, Eddie Cibrian, jailed if he took their two boys out of state for Christmas. Sources told Radar that Brandi is unreasonable, that Eddie has the right to take the boys out of state, and that he’s planning to go to Aspen with the boys and his new wife, LeAnn Rimes. Under the terms of their custody agreement, Brandi gets the boys on Christmas eve and Eddie gets them on Christmas Day. Brandi is frustrated because she was hoping to take her sons to visit her family, but has had to stay in Los Angeles for the past two years to hand the boys off to Eddie on Christmas Day.

Instead of e-mailing or speaking directly with her, Eddie still forces Brandi to go through his assistant to communicate with him. Brandi forwarded us some messages from late November between herself and the assistant. When Brandi brought up the issue of potentially bringing the boys to visit her family on Christmas, the assistant sent her a threatening message directly from Eddie saying that she would be held in contempt of court if she didn’t comply with the custody arrangement. The message was pretty harsh and said that there was no way that the judge would rule in her favor, and that Eddie wasn’t budging on the issue, essentially. At that point, Brandi fired off a text message directly to Eddie saying that he couldn’t take the kids out of state and that she would do the same thing to him – take him in front of a judge – if that happened. So Brandi was just responding to a threat that Eddie originally sent her, through his assistant. Only that one message from Brandi somehow got sent to the news outlets and then Brandi was being unreasonable and threatening Eddie with jail. It was more of a direct response to a threat that he first sent her.

Meanwhile LeAnn and Eddie were pawing all over each other over the weekend at a soccer game for Eddie’s son Mason, 8. You can see the pics here, and they’re ridiculous. Brandi was there too, and she was trying hard to just mind her own business while LeAnn was all “look at me” as usual. Brandi tweeted a response to someone asking a question about the game. She wrote “They are my children, I wouldn’t miss the last soccer game if I could help it.” And LeAnn made sure that the paps didn’t miss it while she played demonstrative “bonus mom” either.

These are photos of LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian and Eddie’s sons Jake and Mason yesterday. They all went to a “Cookies 4 Kids” events which benefited a cancer charity, and then they went to the Malibu Country Mart or something. Throughout the whole outing, LeAnn, Eddie and the kids got pap’d. It’s been happening more and more when LeAnn is around the kids, but I suspect this photo shoot was a set-up specifically because Brandi Glanville and Eddie are in the midst of custody disagreement regarding the kids’ Christmas plans. Brandi contacted CB yesterday to tell us her side of the story – you can read CB’s exclusive here. It’s pretty clear that Eddie (and LeAnn) are leaking certain pieces of information about Brandi and their ongoing custody drama.

So what’s the point of this photo op? Happy, happy family! Look, “Bonus Mom” LeAnn is so comfortable with the kids! Look, Mason and Jake seem to adore her! Look, Eddie is a great father! Et cetera. Blah. The photos would be more interesting if LeAnn wasn’t so obviously squinting and posing for the cameras.
