I really shouldn’t end the day on such a stupid story, but it’s my own fault for forgetting about it early this morning. E! News got their hands on a photo you just need to see for yourself – go look at it and come back. LeAnn Rimes and Kim Kardashian walking down the street together, looking chummy. What were they discussing? How both of them are a size 2? Hahahahaa. LeAnn is probably a 00. And Kim – bless her heart – routinely rounds down from a “12” to a “2”. But no, they were talking about diets or dress sizes. They were talking about Jesus. For real.

Kim Kardashian and LeAnn Rimes both love the same man: Jesus Christ!

On Sunday, the duo attended Life Change Community Church service in Agoura Hills, Calif.

Kardashian, 31, and Rimes, 29, are also both fans of Brad Johnson, the church’s esteemed pastor…

But the E! reality icon and the hit-making country star weren’t the only ones singing from the hymn book. Kourtney Kardashian, Mason Disick and Kris Jenner joined Kim at the service, and Rimes’ hubby Eddie Cibrian joined her for worship.

“Great seeing you and the fam,” LeAnn tweeted to Kim. “See you soon! Xoxo”

Kim, who described her churchgoing Sunday as the “perfect day,” echoed Rimes’ enthusiasm. “You too babe!” she replied. “See you soon! Xoxo”

For Rimes, who is recovering from minor mouth surgery last week, some spiritual healing was just what she needed. She tweeted to a fan that “friend and hubby time always helps” on the road to recovery.

These two gals seem like they’d be fun Bible-study buddies!

I would be offended if I wasn’t so amused. I mean… they’re obviously just doing this to bring their famewhoring power together in perpetuity, correct? They’re not actually trying to convince anyone that they’re both deeply religious people? I think Kim is probably the one driving this Famewhore Extravaganza – she wants to change her image, so she’s been talking about bible study groups and Tim Tebow and such. She’s probably too stupid to realize how deeply sacrilegious her very existence is. As for LeAnn – well, I’ll buy that she’s been in a church before. I believe she and Eddie have done some photo-ops coming and going from church before. LeAnn probably sees herself as a martyr. Just like Jesus, y’all.

Ooooh, this is a good not-so-blind item. LeAnn Rimes tweeted yesterday that she had “minor surgery” and she’s currently in a lot of pain. What did she have done?!?! The Mail has new photos of LeAnn here – her face is partially in shadow, but it doesn’t look puffy or anything, so I’m guessing she didn’t get a nose job. I’m also guessing she didn’t get her lips done, or any kind of facelift or something major like that. So what was it?

When you’re feeling down and out, there’s nothing like feeling the sand beneath your toes to make you feel better. That’s exactly what LeAnn Rimes thought as she headed to Malibu after undergoing surgery on her face.

The singer revealed on Twitter she had had an operation, but didn’t go into detail, just saying the procedure was minor. She was spotted on the balcony of a beach house in a string bikini, enjoying the scorching rays.

The stylish two piece – one of the many in her collection – featured a pink, purple and white paisley design and she paired the number with a blue and white trucker hat. A loyal friend was seen lathering sunblock on the 29-year-old’s back. She later covered up in a white kaftan as she enjoyed a cold beverage.

The How Do I Live singer told her 241,000 Twitter followers earlier: ‘K, coming clean….I had minor surgery this week and I’ve been in SO much pain it’s not even funny. Nothing major just annoying! Pain pain go away!!!!!! When it’s mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK’

She later revealed she had had ‘facial surgery’ and joked to a friend ‘Lol that makes it sound like I got work done. You are gonna start some rumors’.

LeAnn added: ‘The pain is subsiding finally for a moment. My head has been vibrating all day. Maybe the sand under my feet is helping.’

[From The Mail]

My two best guess are something tweaked on her boobs or some kind of eye surgery (de-squintification?) because her sunglasses seem comically oversized and in the one photo where you can see her eyes clearly, her eyes do look slightly bruised. LeAnn had her boobs done more than a year ago, and considering how bad and lopsided they looked, I wouldn’t blame her at all for going in and trying to fix them. But she’s wearing a bikini top in those photos – so I’m really thinking she got some kind of eye work.

UPDATE: Ah, I completely missed that she referenced mouth and jaw pain. So she had some kind of oral surgery. MY BAD!

Here’s a photo that LeAnn tweeted yesterday:

As you probably know by now, all of the writers here at Celebitchy read the weekly tabloids religiously. I enjoy the tabs for many reasons – first, I just enjoy the idle gossip, the silliness of it all. Secondly, I enjoy trying to figure out why a story is framed a certain way, if the tabloid actually has a source deep in a celebrity’s camp, if there really was an eyewitness to a certain event, that kind of thing. Over time, I’ve learned to just flat-out ignore certain stories – like, I rarely read anything about reality programming, because I feel like the tabloids are just recycling plots off of the actual shows. But CB called my attention to a story in this week’s Enquirer, all about “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills SHOCKERS!!” Unfortunately, it’s not about the sexual act “The Shocker”.

The basic gist is that some of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be leaving, and Lisa Vanderpump is definitely NOT getting her own spinoff show – she taped a pilot and she was looking forward to getting away from the other bitches, but alas, Bravo didn’t pick up the show. There’s also a little thing about a woman named Linda Thompson, who is 61 years old and the ex-girlfriend of ELVIS, might join the show.

But buried deep within the story is this gem:

While Lisa may be out, two other women may be moving in. Sources say producers have asked Elvis’s former girlfriend Linda Thompson to join the cast, as well as 29-year-old LeAnn Rimes. Rimes made headlines in 2009 when she had an affair with new housewife Brandi’s then-husband Eddie Cibrian and has since married him.

One insider says the Brandi/LeAnn match-up would be “an instant recipe for fireworks” – and that means big ratings!

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

CB asked me if I thought LeAnn would actually consider it. I do think there’s a decent possibility – I mean, think of all of the attention LeAnn would get! And she would get to one-up Brandi ON TV! Considering LeAnn wants to BE Brandi Glanville to the point of a creepy Single White Female-like stalking-obsession, I think this is a valid possibility. However, there are totally reasons why LeAnn wouldn’t do it too. Like, she’s crazy, but is she THIS crazy? Doesn’t she want to convince people she’s still a country superstar?

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.”

[From Huffington Post]

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.

Here are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes. I really don’t have to write much more than that, right? You ladies love LeAnn posts, and it’s not even about what I write. With that in mind, I’d just like to say that I kind of like LeAnn’s dress here. I understand that she’s in a warmer climate, but it seems wrong for January. Still, if she wore this in June, I would still think it was a pretty dress. I like it when LeAnn doesn’t wear some freakish “look at me, I’m dressin’ provocatively, y’all” getup. Anyway, these photos are of LeAnn’s arrival at LAX – she had been in Dallas for some reason:

She was seen tucking in a hotdog as she enjoyed a basketball game on Saturday night. But the trip to her hometown of Dallas was short and sweet and LeAnn Rimes was seen jetting back into LAX on Sunday.

LeAnn, 29, appeared to be stepping her style well and truly into the spring season and looked lovely in a sundress. The snakeskin print dress had neon green piping around the edges for a flash of colour and a chic and stylish look.

Never one to travel in a dressed down fashion the singer stepped out in brown wedge heels which she was seen teetering in to the car.

While we are used to seeing LeAnn taking the less is more approach when it comes to clothing, her attire was in fact in keeping with the warm temperatures LA enjoyed over the weekend.

LeAnn had taken a trip back home to meet with friends and was without her husband Eddie Cibrian.

On Saturday night LeAnn was seen taking in the Mavericks game with pals and she was also seen tucking into a tasty treat, something many of her fans would be surprised to see.
The singer has often been criticised for her skinny frame although she was looking a healthier frame during a holiday in Hawaii earlier this month.

[From The Mail]

If you’d like to see those photos of LeAnn woofing down a hot dog, go here. She was criticized for deep-throating the dog, but I didn’t really understand the criticism. It just seemed like she was simply EATING, you know? She wasn’t rubbing the hot dog on her bolt-ons or anything. And shouldn’t we be encouraging her to eat?

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.

Here are some photos of everybody’s favorite Falcor, LeAnn Rimes, at LAX yesterday. Is this the way you dress for a flight? Thigh-high stockings and a miniskirt? Apparently, LeAnn was flying to Nashville – this is according to her Twitter account, where she tweeted, “I could not have made a better record at this time in my life. It’s like making a film. I’m proud…SO, headed off to Nashville to a HUGE meeting with my label to play them the whole new record LIVE. SUPER excited cause it ROCKS. #proud”. So, she’s recorded ANOTHER album? Didn’t her last album just come out a few months ago? Didn’t it bomb? Wasn’t there a rumor that her label was probably going to drop her? Why is LeAnn still trying to make her music career happen? So many questions.

Meanwhile, a prediction by AstroChicks, an online astrology site, is making a surprising amount of headlines. Their psychic claims that 2012 is the year that LeAnn will get pregnant, perhaps to keep Gemini Eddie Cibrian interested and engaged – you can read the full prediction here. You know what I hate? I hate that LeAnn and I share a sign – we’re both Virgos. LeAnn gives Virgos a bad name. Yes, we’re OCD and kind of crazy and anal retentive, but we’re not ALL batsh-t insane. In any case, I kind of hope that LeAnn does get pregnant this year. It would give her something else to obsess over.

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.

[From The Mail]

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.

Over the weekend, there were about a million new photos of LeAnn Rimes in various bikinis, doing various activities in Hawaii, all while her ass was hanging out. This woman must have only packed bikinis for her trip, because I’ve yet to see her in anything else, and she was photographed constantly last week too – go here and here for a recap. She doesn’t even have any cover-ups. She didn’t even pack a t-shirt, I don’t think.

In the photos where she’s holding a baby… I don’t know whose baby that is. Fame/Flynet noted, “The country singer stopped to hold a 4 month old baby boy while walking around in a two piece bikini. Rimes was overheard saying ‘My husband already has two and I figured that was it but after holding this baby I think I changed my mind.’” I don’t even know – whatever. I’ll believe that she’s pregnant when she tweets about it.

As for the other photos, where LeAnn is carrying beer and acting like an idiot, Fame notes that LeAnn and Eddie were “enjoying a morning game of Bochee Ball complete with a beer while in Hawaii. LeAnn, the only one showing off her bikini bod appeared to be hosting the game as she could be seen fetching beers, collecting balls and jumping for joy. She also couldn’t help touching people, including her husbands butt. Later he was seen reciprocating the gesture on January 7, 2012.” I don’t know why that write-up amused me so much. Like, even the photographers were talking amongst themselves about LeAnn’s incessant bikini-wearing and her obvious try-hard antics. I would almost feel bad for her – if she wasn’t so willfully crazy.

Another day, another bikini extravaganza from LeAnn Rimes. She switched up her bikinis from the last photo op, which we discussed yesterday. I kind of wish we had more photos of LeAnn’s completely and utterly SET-UP photo shoot at the beach from a few days ago, just because the photographer got some shots of her that were just… WRONG. Go here to see some of the bad pics. In any case, you can enjoy these new photos of LeAnn prancing her way in and out of a bathroom. Barefoot. The bare feet thing is… well, I think it’s gross, but then again, I find LeAnn’s bikini-ops to be pretty gross too.

The most hilarious part (to me) is that I really feel like in LeAnn’s mind, she’s owning this photo shoot. Like, she’s walking in slow motion, tossing back her hair, making sure each butt cheek “pops” for the camera.

In between her slow-motion hair tosses for the paparazzi, LeAnn has been tweeting about her bikini body, of course. Someone was yelling about her stretch marks, I guess? And she said she’s “proud” of her body, she’s had stretch marks “since I was 8” and that “I’m real… most of me”… which I suppose is an admission of her bolt-ons. LeAnn also tweeted about whether or not she would pose for Playboy, writing “They’ve asked 3 times. MOM would KILL me but flattering ” She’s been asked to pose for Playboy three times? Good God.
