LeAnn Rimes and Giuliana Rancic bond over drinks, mutual disgust for food

leanngiuliana-1024x837
About a month ago, skinny twits LeAnn Rimes and Giuliana Rancic were involved in a minor feud over LeAnn’s thinness that each of them predictably exploited for headlines. E! reporter Giuliana was asked by the Huffington Post, “What celebrity would you like to feed who you think is really skinny right now?” She answered Leann Rimes, explaining “She lost a lot of weight from all the stress in her life. She seems a little thin right now and I think she looks great when she’s a bit curvier.”

LeAnn of course was all over that, tweeting to Giuliana that they should go to dinner and then workout together, presumably to burn off any calories they might have consumed. (Really she did tweet that they should go to dinner, then workout in that order.)

Giuliana later backtracked , clarifying that she didn’t say Leann was “ugly skinny or that she needs to gain weight,” which isn’t exactly accurate, but whatever.

Well LeAnn and Giuliana went out for drinks together on Tuesday night, to Nobu in West Hollywood. Nobu is known for great Japanese food, which is generally very healthy and low calorie, but of course they skipped the meal and just had some liquids. They must not be at the stage yet where they’re ready to take turns holding each other’s hair back in the bathroom. (I know it’s terrible to joke about eating disorders, sorry.) LeAnn of course papped the occasion and then tweeted about it. LeAnn’s tweets about their night out sound kind of creepy stalkerish (she calls Giuliana “my sweets” twice) while Giuliana’s tweet back is normal-sounding.

LeAnnRimes: @GiulianaRancic My sweets….so amazing to talk to you over drinks. I adore you! You are beautiful and we were meant to meet for a reason 😉

LeAnn’s producer Darrell Brown: @GiulianaRancic I heard From @leannrimes you two had a great time no fair when I am away from los angeles LeLe.

LeAnn: @darrellbrown @giulianarancic lol we did and she’s a doll

Then LeAnn tweeted to some guy whose page doesn’t exist anymore: @itsdavidslut @giulianarancic there was Bo making up to do. It was just some much needed girl time.

[From Twitter, LeAnn’s and Giuliana’s accounts]

Well good for them I guess. They both have stuff to promote and this outing earned some headlines without destroying any property that we know of. LeAnn will probably continue to bug Giuliana to hang out with her, Giuliana will be “busy” for weeks and it will take some time before LeAnn gets the message and backs off. LeAnn will have more to occupy her at home at least, since her TV actor husband is now unemployed again.

These photos of Giuliana are from April. We’ve seen enough of LeAnn.

    Leave it to her slug song writer and nasty troll Darrell Brown to latch onto the situation as well. Those two are are the biggest bottom feeders. #gag

  2. Tierra says:

    OMG, LR is so patronizing with her “sweets” tweet to GR. All of their tweets reek of phoniness. I can see them bad mouthing each other to their own ppl afterward, you know this was all for some more publicity or something.
    I dont know much about GR to know what she’s like but she has my sympathy for having to sit thru drinks and delusional convo with that wack job.

  3. gee says:

    That outfit in the bottom pic is UGGO.

  4. brin says:

    Yeah…they met for the reason that Leann bugged the hell out of her on twitter til she had no choice. She wears everyone down. Love how Darrell Brown had to get in on it too.

    And I fart in their general direction!

    And I fart in their general direction.

    EDIT: trying to post it again because the first time the comment was eaten — unlike the food in front of Rimes and Rancic.

  7. Eve says:

    Aaaaaaand on the second time I posted, the comment was eaten too (like, not even “awaiting moderation”).

    *HUMPF* Now (that I see three comments of mine in a row) it doesn’t seem so funny anymore.

    P.S.: My god, that Giuliana Rancic is hideous looking! Oh, and spare me from the “it’s wrong to judge anyone’s looks” kind of speech (I know it is and she herself does that on her show). Plus, it’s not like she has any substance to compensate her ugliness anyway.

  8. weeble says:

    They probably are Supporting each other in not eating. This probably is a good friendship for them. They get to be seen hanging out and papped, and no one looks stupid or brings attention to food because they both will never be photographed eating. Then when the friendship takes a dive, they get to have a Twitter war which brings more publicity. Well played, girls.

    Gathering of the bobble-heads. No bueno. Do. NOT. Want.

  10. KARMA says:

    The billboard chart should be up sometome today..i wonder if the media will pick up on the fact that her album flopped..they did it to Ciara, Jlo, Christina A and countless others but no one this “big” lol has had a flop that bad..i think eds in bed thinking what the heck have i gotton myself into

  11. Nancy C. says:

    uglyfest…

  12. clare says:

    @ Eve- “And I fart in their general direction.”

    Thanks for the laugh!

    JR’s cheek implants look like they are slipping. Her whole face screams anorexia.

  13. Laura says:

    Why doesn’t Leann make music anymore? I’m not a fan by any means, but I heard a song of hers on the radio and was reminded that she really has a beautiful voice.

  14. Eve says:

    @ Laura:

    Famewhoring is the new black. Why bother working hard on something when you can be famous for nothing?

    After Paris “Toxic Waste” Hilton and all the ones the followed her lead making loads of money, I’m surprised that there are people still trying to be famous for their (original) work.

  15. Innocent says:

    That headline is hilarious and yeah G does look skinny.
    @Laura
    I thought she just released an album ?

  16. eileen says:

    morning brin! 🙂

  17. Jennifer says:

    At this point, Leann just likes annoying the public more with her twitter and her staged photo-ops. Anything to stay relevant because most don’t want to listen to a voice that comes from a lying, cheating, malicious adulteress.

  18. The Original Mia says:

    Ugh…can’t stand either of these walking skeletons. GR has annoyed me for years. She’s a bobblehead. LR has annoyed me since fallnig in lurve with Eddie and taking her narcissism to amazing levels.

  19. kells-bells says:

    They both are gross, in both looks & in personality.
    And each is incredibly narcissistic.
    LR is an insane walking skeleton with bolt ons & GR thinks people actually respect her as a journalist. And it looks like her head is about to take a topple off from that that spindly waddle of a neck.
    I wish they’d shut-up, stop tweeting & eat something!

  20. kara ann says:

    Both women used to be attractive. Sad how skewed that they think that this anorexic twig look is better then toned, healthy muscles with (gasp) some fat on their bodies.

  21. Original Tiffany says:

    I heard this joke the other night.

    A stick bug and a praying mantis walk into a bar….

    Hahaha! Sorry, couldn’t resist.

  22. TXCinderella says:

    Neither has what you could call a pretty face. That is probably why they both strive to stay thin. I had a friend like that once and she made the comment to me “I know I’m not that pretty, but I can be skinny. That is one thing I can control”. How sad is that?

  23. Kloops says:

    Two completely useless anorexic famewhores. Add Linnocent and it’s a trifecta of horror.

  24. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    For Halloween I’m dressing as Leann. I just bought a horse’s head and a skeleton unitard. now I’m trying to convince my hubby to go as the horses ass (Eddie). Who wants to dress up as Julianna in a Zorak (alien praying mantis) costume?

  25. Bad Fairy says:

    LR is a former child singer. Who the hell is the other one and why do I get to see her Close Encounters face every where?

  26. Patricia says:

    OMG GR is approaching concentration camp skinny. That’s not a joke but very honestly what I think of when I see her. She looks horrible.

    Skip the sandwich and get her on an IV stat. I don’t think her system could even handle solid food at this point.

    Anyone who supports her food choices is in as much in denial as she is. I hope her friends and family are taking action. She could be the next Karen Carpenter. So sad.

  27. Original Tiffany says:

    Well Mortician’s, that would obviously be me! I’ve been practicing the praying mantis stance.

  28. KARMA says:

    celebitchy should write an article about leann album flopping..billboards charts are up..debuted at #32 and #7 for country music..where are Susan 0 and all the other tweles who said that the BBs were the ones who didnt like wewe or the tweles insisting that wewe was still a big star..her last album she came in at number 4 shes now at 32..wow just wow

  29. Rita says:

    @Celebitchy

    “Giuliana will be “busy” for weeks and it will take some time before LeAnn gets the message and backs off.”

    Are we talking about LeAnn Rimes the singer? When has she ever gotten any message and when has she ever backed off.

    No doubt Giuliana is LeAnn’s new bff. Good luck with that Giuliana. Now Rimes will want to be called LeLiana…actually that’s kind of pretty. I’m saving that one.

  30. Happy21 says:

    I am just flabbergasted that anyone would even want to be that thin. How is it that those women look in the mirror and see something they like. I know a lot of woman with body image issues look in the mirror and see something totally different than the rest of us so maybe thats it.

    I also don’t understand why, after all of the negative press, that their weight gets, wouldn’t they maybe think hey maybe this person the public sees is not the same person who I see.

    I just don’t understand what they think is attractive about skinny chicken legs, bobble heads, and razor sharp clavicles? I think its awful and extremely sad.

  31. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    Attempt #2 at this same comment. These Leann threads are hungry just like Leann and her frenemy Julianna.

    @original Tiffany, can’t wait to go trick-or-treating with you. We can take up a candy collection for Jules and Leann. None of it will be eaten, but we can all have a good laugh when Leann tweets about “pigging out on all the candy sent by adoring fans!”

  32. Lindsey G. says:

    Rancic looks like a Praying Mantis…

  33. why? says:

    This whole drinks with GR is damage control, another attempt to convince people that LR is nice/sweet woman and not the nightmare that the tabloids(because according to LR and EC the tabloids are making up lies about them) make LR out to be. Do they really think that LR friendship with GR and E News will sway the public to like LR or have sympathy for her? I saw this coming when LR was being BFF with Ryan S girlfriend at fashion week.

    Why did GR feel pressured to attend this meeting with LR? It had to have been because NBC bullied her and E News into being nice. Which seems to be happening a lot. Remember Showbiz Tonight use to call LR out all the time and then the next thing we know Lara Spencer was doing a GR and sucking up to LR and EC.

    So what happens next? Are we going to see this meeting with LR or hear about on GR show? Or is this meeting gearing up for GR and her hubby to have a date night with LR and EC which will be featured on their show? What I find so funny is that LR is singing GR praises when she has expressed over and over her disgust for reality tv and the people who have them.

    Can you image The Truth that LR laid on GR?

  34. Stubbylove says:

    Twits.

  35. DetRiotgirl says:

    Just a quick question. Is number 32 really a flop for Leann? I mean, seriously, has she ever had an album that did top ten kind of numbers on the pop charts? Honestly, her only mega-hit that I can remember was “how do I live”. Oh, and maybe “Can’t fight the moonlight”. But, those songs happened more than a decade ago.

    Considering that I thought she had just retired, or fallen off the face of the earth, before her whole homewrecking scandal I think number 32 sounds surprisingly good. Were there actually hoards of people out there who would have bought her album had she not been a tabloid queen for the past couple of years? No joke, I’m curious.

    Speaking of her Lollipop McFalcor’s music career, can I admit something guys? I heard her version of “swinging” the other day, and…

    *hangs head in shame*

    …I liked it.

    *stares spitefully at iPod*

  36. Savannah says:

    Wow, I suspect LR just totally made up “@itsdavidslut” so she could send another tweet GR’s way. GR is so gross. The fact that her and Kelly O are the “Fashion Police” really says a lot about the E channel.

  37. KARMA says:

    @detroit girl her last album she was number 4 and it sold 70,000 first week..after the scandal she is at number 32 selling around 9,000-10,000..that is VERY bad..even for leann

  38. DetRiotgirl says:

    @Karma thanks for the info! I honestly didn’t know if anyone cared about her outside of her z list drama. I’m always suprised when people talk about how EC is only with her for money. I’m like “this B still has money? HOW?” lol

  39. DrM says:

    @Eve! Am still laughing from your comments…thank you…great de-stresser for my morning!

  40. DrM says:

    @ Karma – good point…and they both look really awful…its like a support group of two for truly dysfunctional eating/thinking….

  41. why? says:

    Now that LR has gotten GR and E News to see THE TRUTH, she has moved on to her next mission. Use the very same “I couldn’t get out of bed after my divorce(despite the fact that there are a ton of photos showing her making out with EC at airports and on beaches and walking around LA gloating as she did househunting for her and EC), I married young, God ordained her marriage/affair with EC” campaign on the public. Yeap, she has released another one of her interviews whining about how hard HER divorce was for her, wasn’t that why GR disliked LR so much? Because LR was making herself out to be the victim and didn’t take considertion for what her and EC actions did to BG, EC kids, and DS? She has tried this several times before with the People mag, Shape, ABC, GAC, and Ellen interviews, now why does she think that things are going to be different or even sway the pblic to her side? Because NBC bullied GR and E News into being nice to LR?

    And the backlash against LR and EC just got 10X more worse.

    Seeing as how many sites are flat out calling her album a FLOP and pointing out how bad it did on the Billboard charts, shouldn’t LR lay low or shut up? Or is she too high on the “NBC has my back” gravy train?

  42. Stonegoddess says:

    What’s the deal with her and NBC, I don’t get where the connection is. Can someone tell me?

    Other than that she says she doesn’t care what people say however, now this could be a HUGE coincidence but I don’t know.

    The other day I tweeted that she had to change her Twitter because he was no longer a playboy. Next thing you know it’s changed and she’s blocked me.

    Coincidence or crazy?

  43. why? says:

    Nope, you are not crazy at all. LR watches EVERYTHING that is being written about her and even is bold enough to attempt to fix whatever flaw that has been pointed out. It’s almost like a game. Like we pointed out that LR made EC go to fashion week with her because she is afraid that he will cheat on her. And then the very next day, out comes photos of EC out about NYC by himself.

    I pointed out that perhaps LR is also losing weight because EC parents must not like her, and then two weeks later out come photos of LR and EC mother hugging to fix it.

    I hear that LR was going to her friend’s wedding. Did EC “injure” himself just so that he could get out of attending it with LR?

  44. Hakura says:

    I agree with Tierra. The reference to GR as ‘Sweets‘ came across exaggerated & condescending (like Leann was placating a child seeking approval). When someone does that to me, I just want to smack ’em. Bitch, please.

    They do look especially skeletal, I was shocked by GR’s pictures… I don’t watch the show, but how can she be so surprised that she’s unable to get pregnant when her body is so malnourished? (I thought Leann mentioned wanting to get pregnant too, but that may have just been for publicity or to irritate Brandi).

  45. why? says:

    Leann’s connection to NBC is through Jerry B, the man who produced Coyote Ugly. LR lent her voice to that movie and LR has claimed to be very, very, very good friends with JB. JB produces such shows as CSI and Chase and many shows on CBS and NBC, both shows that EC landed roles on(It’s like LR bribed EC with a role on CSI to get him to keep cheating with her). For the other shows and networks(CMT/PBC/HGTV) that he doesn’t produce, I think he is calling in favors for LR.

    If you look at the bottom of the Eonline site, guess what it says? That E News is a division of NBC Universal.

    And guess what else is also a division of NBC Universal. HULU. I thought I heard that EC show was doing well on HULU.

    EC landed a role in a Hallmark movie. The Hallmark channel and Hallmark Movie Channel also has connections to NBC. It’s operated by Crown Media Holdings, which licenses it’s brand to NBC Universal Global Networks for shows Britian. And how interesting that Hallmark Channel, who has ties to NBC, is doing a special tribute to LR on their network via a show hosted by Maya Angelou.

    The producer for LR CMT movie worked on many shows for CBS and ABC, so I’m guessing that someone made some calls and as a favor LR appears in this movie.

    The writer for Drop Dead Diva use to work as a writer on CSI. So we know that LR landed that guest role because someone called in a favor for her.

    JB didn’t produce PBC, but I think that he pulled some strings, it’s why LR showed up to the audition with EC(which was documented with a photo-op and nice little fluff piece of how EC supposedly won over the producers).

    I still can’t figure out how EC got the role in Tyler Perry movie. I know that EC appeared in a TD Jakes movie where he played the cheater/gigolo, so maybe this job with Tyler Perry came as a recommendation from TD Jakes, and makes Tyler Perry’s movie the only job that EC has gotten without LR help.

    I don’t think that HGTV has ties to JB. HGTV is operated by Scripps Networks Interactive, and guess what other media brands it controls? Go back to LR GAC interview. So SNI operates GAC, which did an interview featuring LR and will soon be airing a new show on HGTV featuring LR.

    As we can see, LR and EC have no problem getting jobs, it’s keeping these jobs that get the best of EC and LR each and everytime.
