LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian scored a VH1 reality show called ‘LeAnn & Eddie’

I haven’t written about LeAnn Rimes since July 17th!! What in the world? We should all be very, very suspicious when LeAnn goes incognito for a several weeks. It means something big is about to happen. And so it is today. LeAnn and Eddie were keeping it low-key because they were finalizing their reality show deal. Their reality has been rumored for a long time – I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve written about it. LeAnn and Eddie were pitching a “scripted reality show” concept to various channels, and it looks like they’ve found a home on VH1.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s new TV show has found a home. Vh1 is set to premiere LeAnn & Eddie (working title) in Fall 2013/Winter 2014 with six half-hour episodes.

“We are really excited to be working together on a unique show that will give you a glimpse into who we really are or better yet who we’re really not,” the couple, serving as executive producers, said in a statement to Us Weekly. (Rimes, 30, and Cibrian, 40, married in 2011, two years after the couple met and fell in love while still married to other people.) “We’re thrilled to partner with Vh1 and The Gurneys [of Gurney Productions] to put our spin on a project full of love, humor and music.”

Tom Calderone, President of VhI, also said in a statement: “LeAnn and Eddie are both talented entertainers who have really captured the public’s imagination in the last couple of years, but there is so much more to them than what you read in the tabloids. This is going to be a really fun show in which we hope to reveal what their lives are really like – from the normalcy of their home life, to what drives them artistically, to the chaos of their celebrity life.”

Us Weekly exclusively revealed in April that Rimes and Cibrian were pitching a TV sitcom based on their lives. In May, the Spitfire singer told Us that they were “in talks” to develop their own sitcom. “We’ve been talking about a show. It’s not a reality show,” she said. “If anything, it would be based around our normal lives, but it would be scripted. We want to take our lives and laugh as much at ourselves as we think other people do.”

“It would be taking our regular life and elaborating on it to make it really over the top and funny,” Rimes further explained. “After all these years of having stuff thrown at us, it would be great to laugh at it all.”

Vh1 reports that the series will show the couple’s “normal modern family” life of balancing career and co-parenting Cibrian’s two sons with ex-wife Brandi Glanville.

LeAnn also tweeted, “Thx for all the love about our new show. We are very excited to do something new and unique.” So “new and unique” that it basically sounds like every other dumb reality show. I was looking through VH1’s roster and I realized that I haven’t watched any of their original programming in a really long time. I don’t watch Hollywood Exes, Lala’s Full Court Life, Love & Hip Hop or Couples Therapy. But it sounds like LeAnn and Eddie’s show will fit in perfectly there, right? I wonder which networks passed on the project?

Here are some recent-ish Twitter photos from LeAnn. She’s been Vine-ing her stepsons too. Because of course she has.

        There’s already a show out there about the Grinch and his heart that is 2 sizes too small. Oh, I get it, this is a show about the Grinch and the heart that is 5 sizes too small. Makes sense, is Ediot playing the part of the dog with the antlers. good idea for a show. TYPE CASTING1

      • elaine says:

        forgot to add, will they be under a big dome with snow flakes and fairy dust coming down? already been done. but, again this is Lemans snow globe world ha ha ha

      @Mrs. Peacock The end is neigh, you mean?

    • Lauren says:

      Prelude to a divorce. The end is near. Hallelujah.

  2. brin says:

    Better title would have been “Farmageddon” since it’s about livestock battling extinction.

  3. Celeste says:

    I cant believe that those two think that this is a good career move. Nobody will watch it. Ignore it, and it will go away. Then proof of failing careers will be undeniable.

    • Sanaa says:

      I wish I could agree but I think this show WILL have an audience. Kardashians has an audience as do all the other dumbass reality shows, so I can see this being a mild success.

      It also means that Brandi will probably get her spin off show. And on and on goes the trailer trash triangle.

    • heidi says:

      I’ll be watching. Count me out for anything and everything Brandi. Can only take so much STFU, drunken antics from a 41 yr old mother.
      Curious to see the inside of L&E’s home, how they interact. She’ll be doing some singing and she’s got a good sense of humor. Definitely interested.

      • claire says:

        She’ll be singing and stuff? Where’d you hear that?

      • TheTruthHurts says:

        What makes you think anything that they do, especially LeAnn, will be real? It will be more of her fake, fairytale, made up world that she is trying to project to the public. It wont show her anxiety, it wont show Eddie’s alleged cheating. It wont show struggles that put her in “tweehab.” It wont be honest. Say what you want about Brandi, but at least what we see of her is REAL.

      • Tara says:

        I saw one of her homes done on HGTV and it was lovely. I was surprised because she was very sure of what she wanted and the look and feel she was going for. I thought it would be Barbie dreamhouse or Grand Ole Oprey but it was really nice. It was a mix of Asian antiquity and updated Georgian. I was impressed and she kept mentioning that she and Eddie entertained a lot. She mentioned him every chance she got lol. But her home was beautiful.

      • betty says:

        Does Leann and Eddie thinking a Reality Show will gain them likability or respectability. I doubt that. No one bought Leann album and Eddie is not in demand as an actor. Creating a show about ,careers and family life is laughable. They have neither.Especially when it is another woman kids and Eddie rarely works.. Tori and Dean had their own family and business. What does Eddie and Leann have. The public still views them as cheaters which is not going to help them.

    • Misery Fox says:

      I don’t know… I think a LOT of people will be hate-watching it.

    • Debbie says:

      Oh people will watch, they may be hate watching but they will watch. In terms of legit career moves I can’t see how this is good but what do I know really.

      Oh but will the boys be featured?

    • Tara says:

      I agree with you except the part where they dont have their own kids between Eddie and the kids’ mom are divorced. Even if LeeAnn is a twit and a famewhore she is still a stepmom and therefore she and Eddie are real parents. Despite their antics they do lots of things with the boys and they are always smiling and look comfortable with her in public. She seems to really enjoy being close to them with making Brandi cringe as an added bonus. Your statement is insulting to lots of loving, involved step parents out there.

      • elaine says:

        Brandi has said the children will NOT be on the show, after all Ediot said they could not be on her reality show. but, then again that was back when he thought reality shows were ridiculous. timesand opinions change when you need money.

  4. Jane says:

    Hell has officially frozen over. Dear God, this is going to be a train wreck.

  5. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    What a f***ing joke. Seriously. As if we haven’t had enough of these two.

  6. Rhea says:

    Tom Calderone, President of VhI, also said in a statement: “LeAnn and Eddie are both talented entertainers who have really captured the public’s imagination in the last couple of years..”

    —->yup! But not because of their “talent”.Lol.

    • brin says:

      What spin! They are devoid of personality, unwatchable.

    • srm says:

      The VH1 press release also called them a “Hollywood Supercouple”. Not the couple that comes to minds when I hear hollywood supercouple. Definitely not a Jen and Ben, Brad and Angie or Tom and Rita.

      A couple of super losers maybe.

    • Dirty Martini says:

      “captured imagination?”

      Dear God On High. Nothing those 3 have done has left anything to the imagination…..its all right out there.

      I for one wish there was some imagination left…

  7. Carobell says:

    Isn’t a reality show the kiss of death for any relationship?

    • crab says:

      That would be awesome if they split!! Now that’s a reality I would watch! 🙂

    • Jane says:

      Yes…remember Britney and Kevin’s show?

      • Sonia says:

        exactly! name one couple who survives “reality” tv…brittney and kevin, Nick and jessica, um… sonny and cher (sorry I’m reaching here) but seriously LeAnne is one of the producers!

        SHE HAS TO PAY FOR HER OWN SHOW

        And I sincerely hope all the bashing she’s done on Brandi for having a reality show comes back to bite her. I read somewhere that Eddie and Brandi’s sons will be played by actors! Which, of course, because they aren’t allowed to be on Brandi’s show. Hopefully the 6 shows will be over soon. Reality tv needs to go far far away. Really far. Super duper far. Even farther than that.

    • Christin says:

      Nick and Jessica…Linda Thompson and David Foster…There is a list online of 22 couples / families affected by the “TV reality show divorce curse”, starting with a family featured on a PBS show in the 1970s.

    • emmie_a says:

      That was my first thought. A reality show isn’t the best way to keep a marriage strong… congrats LeAnn & happy divorce!

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      LeAnn is such a hypocrite as well. She ragged on Brandi for being on a reality show, said she would NEVER do one, and lo and behold.

      She is such a pathological liar and a phony.

  8. Elisabeth says:

    Amanda Bynes will look like nothing compared to the epic meltdown coming our way

  9. Suse says:

    urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why?????????????

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      +1000
      She just cannot stop trying to convince the world that they are something they’re not. Ugh.

  10. Samtha says:

    Brandi should block her kids from appearing on this, since Eddie blocked them from being on RHoBH.

    • brin says:

      Agreed. He would be a total hypocrite, no way should the boys be on that show.

    • heidi says:

      Leann already announced in the first press release that the boys will NOT be on TV

      • Deanne says:

        Shouldn’t Eddie be the one making the announcements about the kids involvement, or lack there of, not LeAnn? He’s their Father. LeAnn is their step-parent who has zero legal say in their lives whatsoever. I can’t imagine they’d try to put the boys on tv for their crappy show, after banning their Mother from having them in the background of her crappy show. I know they are hypocrites, but that would really be ridiculous.

    • SunnySide says:

      Oh please!! Do it Brandi!!! Do it!!

    • SageM says:

      Yes, I was just thinking “they better bloody not show his kids”. This should not get to the point where Brandi has to stop them, I would find it shocking if they themselves suggested including the kids. Not that I’d be that surprised.

  11. Samigirl says:

    When I kiss the love of my life, I always make sure I’m still squinting at the camera too!! I guess we can take solace in knowing the end is near for LR/EC. There has yet to be a couple tht does reality tv that stays married. Right? Maybe 1 or 2 couples, but the odds definitely aren’t great.

    • SageM says:

      The only ones I can think of who are still together are Sharon and Ozzy. Everybody else I can think of has broken up.

      • Axis2ClusterB says:

        And Ozzy and Sharon separated recently. I think they’re back together, but they seem to be on shaky ground, which makes me sad.

      • doofus says:

        to Axis2ClusterB

        from what I understand, that was because Ozzy was using again…which certainly qualifies as “trouble in the marriage”, but not exactly a deal-breaker. He’s back to being in recovery and I think they reconciled.

        after reading both of their bios and seeing what Sharon has put up with for so many years, I don’t think there’s much that would drive them apart permanently.

        or that could just be my wishful thinking…

    • Kiddo says:

      In their defense, squinting is the only way they ever look at anything.

  12. Kiddo says:

    Bobbeh! Bobbeh!

    Oh, wait, different show. Or maybe not?

  13. matia says:

    Theyb are so awkward in interviews and she’s such a try hard that this is going to be kind of funny but not in the way they intended. I hope they show her google alerting brandis fashion news and twitter

  14. Elisabeth says:

    As much as i hate these two…i want to see this train wreck

  15. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    I’m guessing this is Leann’s way of making sure that Eddie’s little Eddie doesn’t wander away from her, when she can’t be with him.

    Lord, this WILL be a trainwreck. And I won’t feel guilty watching it…if I could-unfortunately my mom and dad are too cheap to get cable. But I’m sure the best clips will be on youtube for my perusal.

    To be honest, I see this backfiring on Leann SO badly. I don’t think a lot of people know just how f’ing nuts she is; I wouldn’t have, if I hadn’t read this site. I think they get that she and Eddie cheated, but I don’t think the majority know just how crazy she acts around Brandi. It’ll be an eye opener. AND you know that’s what the producers are counting on.

    Sigh. I actually used to like Leann. I loved her song “Nothin’ Better To Do”…I used to listen to that song for HOURS. Now….ugh. What a waste.

    • Christin says:

      Trust me, you aren’t missing much by not having cable. My parents didn’t see a need for it, either, and I thought I was missing a lot back in the day. After having cable access for several years, I’m considering cutting it out (but hubby likes sports channels, so that probably won’t happen). The programming choices can be both overwhelming and underwhelming. I have no doubt the “best” clips of this show will be readily available online, whenever the six episodes start airing.

      • NerdMomma says:

        Yup. I’ve been without cable for years and find everything pretty easily online. From this particular show, all I’m going to need are some clips, and maybe Joel McHale’s take on them, if that’s online too.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        My dad used to work for Charter, so we got it for free, while he went to school. Once he graduated and got a job, he didn’t want to pay for cable anymore so he didn’t. The only thing I miss about it is Lifetime-although when I watched Lifetime it was ten times better and didn’t just rerun shitty movies all day…I’m nostalgic.

    • Lucybelle says:

      Another non-cable-haver here! I live in the country and my only option is satellite. I can think of about a million other things I’d rather spend my money on so we just have an antenna. I don’t feel like I’m missing out. The only time I sort of wish I had more channels is on winter weekends when we’re stuck inside and there’s not much on. Although you can almost always find something interesting on PBS (if you’re a nerd like me!)

      • Pinky says:

        Count me in for being cable free, so Time Warner Cable’s blackout doesn’t affect me one bit. I don’t feel as though I’m missing out, either, because anything I want to see is online and when there’s “nothing on” it’s a fine reminder that there’s more to do in life than veg.

        This show sounds like it’s going to be a snoozefest, with people trying to carefully craft their image, but everyone knows that if you don’t deliver the crazy in reality TV, you get yanked. So will LeAnn try to mask her crazy by playing sane acting crazy? It will be a conundrum of a mess.

  16. briargal says:

    My first thought when I heard this was “hahahaha! What a hilarious and stupid idea!” Talk about a show about two losers!

    My next thought was–I know Eddie isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what the heck is he thinking?!? He must know how much people despise LR and that he is so close to having his career flushed right along with hers. This will clinch it. (I really don’t think he is much of an actor–except in real life, making people and LR think he is really into her! He is merely–or was–a pretty face. Evidence–his performance his previous series.) So what is up with his thinking??? Whatever chance he had with a career will FOREVER be linked with a loser!
    Will I watch?? NO WAY!!!

    • Sleepyjane says:

      That was my first thought too. I bet Eddie doesn’t even know about this show yet. Someone should track down a mistress so she can let him know.

    • Badirene says:

      He may be smarter than we all think, say yes to this show expose her crazy to everyone on tv and then divorce her to rounds of “poor Eddie, how did he cope?” and voila! new interest in his acting and new roles.

      • Jayna says:

        What crazy? She will be Susie homemaker, try-hard cutsie behavior that will alternate between boring and cringeworthy but not crazy behavior.

      • claire says:

        I agree with Jayna. The crazy is going to show in how badly she is putting effort into spinning tales and it’s just going to be embarrassing and try-hard.

        I don’t know what Eddie is thinking. He’s only retained some credibility with people because he’s mainly kept his mouth shut. Now he’s going to be on TV, in cahoots with this trainwreck and he’s going to look like a huge fool.

    • Jayna says:

      That’s tge same thing I thought about Eddie’s career.

    • briargal says:

      Gosh–here I am replying to my own comment!!??!! Seriously does Eddie not have friends who read all this garbage and who know what crap LR is? Does he really not realize how she is affecting not only his present but his future? Yeah, maybe like Badirene stated–show the craziness and then that’s an excuse to divorce her. But all the crap in the middle has tarnished his reputation in the mean time. I wonder if he can ever recover. We know LR is finshed but….

      • NerdMomma says:

        I hate to say this, but I have suspected for some time now that Eddie DOES have friends, and they know the situation far better than us speculators…and maybe we’re wrong. Maybe he really loves Leann and maybe he’s really happy. I thought these two were going to be over long ago, since she was basically his stalker, but of course there’s more to it than I know. We shall see.

      • aaa says:

        @NerdMomma
        IIRC Brandi said on the BH show that she lost most of her and Eddie’s joint friends when they got divorced. There is no disputing that the affair is wrong and that Eddie and LeAnn are not perfect but I agree that there’s more to the story than what we’ve seen and most have assumed.

        Note: I changed name to aaa from a.

  17. Mabs says:

    Maybe this is good news. A very public fail is what she needs. SOME thing has got to shut her down. lol

  18. Jayna says:

    Eddie’s career must be in the toilet to be doing this. He’s had a few gigs recently. If he had enough real acting gigs lined up for the rest if the year, this would never be happening. The only viewers that will keep this afloat are the LeAnn trollers because they are obsessed with
    her. Otherwise, very few viewers.

    • Celeste says:

      I can’t wait for the following episodes:

      -And Then There Were Three (STD’s)
      -Brandi! Brandi! Brandi! (LR’s hair will be styled like Jan Brady’s)
      -Just Can’t Buy A Hit (2 epic meltdowns for the price of one)
      – He Done Gone And Left Me

      What will be your faves?

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I’m particularly fond of “He Just Can’t Buy A Hit”….sounds like the beginning of the end….music to our ears.

        I honestly don’t know what she’s thinking. Either it will be a HUGE trainwreck, or she’ll try and be little miss Susie Homemaker-she’s the best cook, best singer, best bonus mom, and it’ll be boring as hell so it’ll get cancelled. And then Eddie will dump her, ’cause her cash cow ain’t putting out the milk.

    Oh she’ll fit right in with the fukery that is VH1. This is going to bomb worse than a Chicago Cubs team in July.

    Welcome to the D-list.

    • emmie_a says:

      That’s what I was thinking. If you aren’t famous and star in a reality show it can possibly make you a bigger star. But when a one-time *star* gets a reality show, it only means that they have already become a nobody.

  21. Jane says:

    According to LR’s Twitter:

    “Choosing designs for new merch, approving press releases, scheduling meetings & planning family vacations…all in my sweats”

    What in the hell kind of merchandise would she think the American public would want to buy with their names on it?

    Housewives of franchises (lots of divorces)

  27. Lassie says:

    God, this is a horrible idea. Lots of squinting and desperation. Awkward.

  28. dorothy says:

    I can’t believe VH1 thinks anyone would be remotely interested in this farce.

    • Jane says:

      VH1’s programming has been on a downward spiral over the last few years. They really don’t have quality programming to begin with, therefore this show fits in nicely with their poor quality line up.

      • Relli says:

        Seriously whats the deal with VH1. It used to be one of my favorite other channels because they had some fun shows; I love the ____, Pop-up videos, as well as playing some actual music videos late at night/early morning. BUT lately every time I flip the channel over to VH1 because I see that SNL re-runs are on and I like those when I clean its on commercial, seriously EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. So I wait and after like 5 advertisements I flip back to whatever other channel I had been previously been watching and by the time I flip back to VH1 ITS ON COMMERCIAL AGAIN. In fact its been years since I have actually seen a show on there, even the aforementioned SNL shows they air are like one skit, then commercial break, another skit commercial break, musical guest commercial break, hour done.

        I am not convinced they have shows anymore I think its just one big advertisement channel.

    • brin says:

      What demographic are they going for….middle-aged yodelers?

  29. Morning Sunshine says:

    Didn’t LR make a dig about reality shows? She said People who do them is because they have no talent. Hmmmmm.

    • Deanne says:

      Well, that pretty much defines Eddie so I guess she decided to throw him a bone and lower herself to get him a job that’s longer than just a one or two episode gig. He needs the money to pay for the framed photos that he gives her for every occasion.

  30. Bree says:

    I don’t get these two. They are clinging to everything possible to stay relevant. Here goes LR once again coat tailing off of Brandi bc she sees how successful BG has become. LR is trying everything possible to keep the money coming to keep Eddie happy. Their show will be dry as hell and epic fail like Eddie’s career and LR album.

  31. Dori says:

    I would rather watch paint dry. VH1 is a perfect place for these two slime balls. When their show flops they can always try that couples therapy show, and I will bet they do. Personally I haven’t watched anything on VH1 for years. Such D list shows. Guess it has it’s viewers and that’s who they will be playing to, Thought LeAnn said there is “no reality, in reality shows” and yet here she goes with the SWF again. Why am I not surprised???

  32. Celeste says:

    I think I just hit the spam button. Sorry CB. The only thing that’s spam about this topic is the upcoming show itself.

    • Relli says:

      gah I do that all the time reading CB and scrolling down on my phone I need to remember to use my left finger always.

  33. truthful says:

    marriage and career suicide, LOL

    I am on the fence, in a way I want to see the train wreck and fakeness before the crash and on the other, I don’t like to waste time on garbage.

    hmph..

  34. Izzy says:

    More crap on TV I won’t watch.

    *hunkers down with popcorn and reruns of The West Wing*

  35. Deanne says:

    They really are both desperate career wise. The absolute worst network, she’s producing which often means putting up your own cash and it’s only for a few episodes. She tries REALLY hard to be funny, but when she’s interviewed on talk shows with audiences, her jokes fall flat and the audiences sit in dead silence, while she laughs by herself. Eddie must have just given up on ever having any kind of career and is going to happily follow along, as he really doesn’t have any money concerns any more. Also, since it’s going to be a scripted reality show, depicting their lives, why would they think that this would win over the public? How will this help the fact that they are so “misunderstood”. If they wanted to do a reality show about who they truly are, wouldn’t they lose the script? She’ll be shown cooking, fussing over Eddie, playing perfect step-mommy who has to deal with “crazy ex” and he’ll be shown as doting husband and Father, pretending to mull movie and tv offers and enjoying his new life with his soul mate, LeAnn. They’ll be tons of tacky references to their hot sex life and true love. Isn’t that already the script of her Twitter account? A BS, yawn fest that will be their gift to the public. This confirms to me that they are both extremely deluded.

    WOW….this is going to be the end of their relationship.

    VH1 is so D-list. She going to do too much to make people think she is “normal” and “down to earth” This move is only going to make her look worse.

    • Ok says:

      Well hey there OK. We have very similar names.

      I don’t know that I am that bothered by this. They might get 1 season out of it. Bit then again, when I came across this article, there were over 100 comment posts.

      People love to hate on this girl. So I wonder if that translates to cash at some point.

      I mean, she has a heck of a lot more money than I do. Why does she just not retire and enjoy the money she has left ??

  37. K-Rock says:

    “Scripted” “reality” show? *head desk*

  38. Bej says:

    Scripted reality show, so just another forum, like her Twitter & Vine accounts, for LR to shove her ‘perfect, happy family life’ down everybody’s throats. And to get digs in at Brandi. Chick is delusional if she believes anybody’s buying the crap she’s hard selling.

  39. Legal Annie says:

    Shows like this make me want to cancel my cable service. I’ll watch Honey Boo Boo instead.

  40. Quinn says:

    These two schmucks…I just CANNOT stand their stupid smugness. Two idiots wrapped in DUMB does not a show make.

    Farewell, VH1…you’re dead to me.

  41. Kemper says:

    “talented entertainers”! talented self exploiters who are tryhard famewhores now. She use to be a talented singer. now she is tabloid trash.

  42. Vanessa says:

    I hope this show bombs and Leann and her sleazy poor excuse for husband finally realize that public can’t stand them they are not cute or power couple . There nothing that Leann can say or do at this point to changer her damaged image that she help created with her endless twitter vine crap.

  43. The Original Mia says:

    This will be one trainwreck I won’t be watching.

  44. mrspatrickbateman says:

    So is this show supposed to be reality or not? If they’re hiring actors to play the sons I would think it would be more in the sitcom genre but they’re claiming reality so is it scripted reality? So everything will be fake? That’s just odd. So there would be no tension to witness, no seeing Eddie looking longingly out the window dreaming of the day he’s free, no seeing their house. It would just all be scripted and approved by LeAnn before it hit the air, that’s no fun.

  45. Rita says:

    It sounds like they’re actually paying VH1 to air it. LeAnn is the executive producer as well as chief sponsor. Commercials will consists totally of LeAnn cooking Mac & Cheese in a warehouse full of CD’s.

    Prediction: After 10 minutes of the first episode, the viewing public will be so embarrassed for them that the FCC will revoke VH1’s broadcast license.

    PS-Title should have been, “Keeping up with the Glanvilles”.

  46. SouthernGal says:

    “There’s no real in reality”…those were her words on Jay Leno back in December. So, I guess since Spitfire flopped, her stint on Charlie Sheen’s show didn’t bring on the high ratings, her picnic pavillion “tours” aren’t bringing in any real money and those stage pap photos are barely published on 4 websites…what else..reality TV.

    She is really trying to throw s*it to the wall with it being unique. Girl please! All reality shows have the same damn theme…drama and more drama. No one wants to see her fake attempt at being happy with her nothing ass husband, watching her try to cook whilst wearing a bikini and trying her damnest at being the perfect wife and stepmom. That is boring! No drama will equate to 0 ratings. It won’t even make it to TV because she’s just not relatable AT ALL. And don’t you have to have sponsors (commercials) for a TV show anyway?

    LeAnn and Ediot (aka Country Cuban which is lame as fugg) will be producing which means they will be fronting the money for this already failed project y’all.

    I bet Brandi is laughing out loud at this fuggery. LeAnn went on and on trash talking reality TV and look where she is now. Trying to stay relevant for at least 15 more minutes. By the time this is over, she will be broke and divorced. Never understood how she just won’t go away for a few years, enjoy her man and have kids. That would make more sense but the girl is just too dumb to realize she isn’t likeable AT ALL.

    Poor tink tink!

    • Christin says:

      Hope the script writers are more creative than the production company name.

      Not that I watch lots of celebrity reality shows now (it seems a worn out genre), but the few I have watched generally left me with a lesser impression of the celebrity. There have been a couple of exceptions, but most who try this route do not succeed and / or become (bigger) laughing stocks.

  47. Jane says:

    Personally I’d love to contact the VP of programming at VH1 and tell him/her to get with the program and dump this idea. Is this person from VH1 on some sort of acid trip with no brain cells to allow Leann to buy her way onto the network?

    I hope to hell VH1 gets massive complaints when the show gets aired.

  48. EscapedConvent says:

    I just cannot believe I’m seeing these words said in seriousness: “scripted reality show.”

    I guess anyone really can get their own show now. I don’t watch Kris Jenner’s show, don’t even know if it’s on where I live, but it, & this proposed show, sure shows that we’ve lost whatever taste we had.

  49. Green Is Good says:

    *face palm* Are these two people really THIS stupid and out of touch?

    Oh, wait. Never mind.

  50. holly hobby says:

    So will they keep Mason and Jake out of the show? Eddie made such a stink about that when Brandy was hired for Real Housewives.

    • Jane says:

      I heard rumors that child actors will be taking the place of the kids. I have no idea of the validity of that statement, though. Remember we are dealing with the clusterf**k known as Eddie and Leann or ..wait…Country Cuban….

      • Jayna says:

        That was when they were pitching a scripted reality type show. It looks like that went nowhere and they are no doing a full reality show now.

  51. TheTruthHurts says:

    This proves to LeAnn’s 10 “fans” what a LIAR she is. She said she & Eddie would never do a reality show and here they are, doing a reality show. If anything, this just shows their desperation to get work and her desperation to have the public see her with Eddie. So much for the two of them wanting a private life. Losers.

  52. randand00 says:

    Oh. God. No. I just can’t. I tend to read these threads about LeMann just to confirm that I’m not the only one who thinks she’s the devil incarnate. I used to like her, now I’ve scrubbed her from my existence, but she just won’t go away – it’s like resistance is futile. I pray their “show” dies a quick painless death, for the mercy of all of us. And who spends that much time photographing their own f’ing face?!?!? God, she bothers me.

  53. Leslie says:

    Jesus take the wheel. This show will definitely be the end of their marriage.

  54. arabella says:

    LR tries to sound so cool, like she’s self-deprecating and doesn’t care about all the people who make fun of her. The whole “laugh at ourselves” thing is bs. She is wayyyyyy too uptight, self conscious and in need of approval to laugh at herself.

    • brin says:

      Word.

    • Funcakes says:

      I’m already exhausted thinking about all the demented tweeting she will be doing just to promote this show. And if the ratings decline her twitter account will implode.

  55. Jayna says:

    I saw LeAnn on an interview last week, I think, and her voice is so hard or deeper now. What happened to her sweet voice with a slight southern accent? She talks like a smoker now who was never southern. Between that and her face now, which is frozen and odd these days, who wants to watch it. It’s not the LeAnn of old who had a sweetness about her look and actually had cute facial expressions. Her demeanor is offputting now.

    God, she finally gets to put on that bikini she keeps talking about when pitching the show. Ugh.

  56. Funcakes says:

    Someone on another blog said that this is what each episode is going to be like:
    Episode one: Eddie sits by the pool in his speedos.

    Episode two: Eddie buys an antique car.

    Episode three: Eddie sleeps until 3pm then goes to walmart to buy leann a 99 cent birthday card.

    • Cirque28 says:

      LOL!

      Episode 4: Eddie tries to buy a private plane but they can’t afford it. Eddie sulks over not getting a plane. LeAnn works harder.

  57. bravocueen says:

    Am I the only one who thinks LeeAnn bought thousands of her own albums to keep it on the top 20 for a few weeks?

    • Funcakes says:

      Not only do I agree with you, I wouldn’t be suprised if others in her circle did it as well.

  58. Christin says:

    Lots of headlines covering the press release mention that the DD producers are involved. It’s as if it needs to be known upfront that the producers of one supposedly successful show are now on board.

    Wonder who will ultimately have the most creative control, and who will be blamed if it does not succeed?

  59. Emily C. says:

    Imo, this is what they’ve been gunning for the whole time. Brandi will likely get a cut. I’m pretty sure we’ve all been played.

  60. Grumpycat says:

    Does this mean she will stop with the tweets and vines constantly since she will be filmed? I do hope so. I made the mistake of clicking that vine video of her singing Get Lucky and it ruined the song for me forever because everytime i hear it i see her “trying hard to be sexy and just looking gross” face.

  61. Cirque28 says:

    A lot of comments here are dismissive of this show, but I think it might fare pretty well in the ratings. LR is famous for being awful, but her awfulness has made her much more famous than singing ever did. Not many fans actually like her, but tons of people love to hate LeAnn and a small minority actually appreciates her music. VH1 thinks there’s money to be made from her fall from grace and there probably is. Of course, LeAnn does NOT want to earn her living as a famous a**hole. She’s still trying to maneuver her way back to being known as the sweet little girl with the big voice. But those days are gone.

    After all, Anthony Weiner’s sexting partner is already spinning her sleaze into gold. With the right agent, infamy is just as good as fame.

  62. Daniel says:

    and the divorce countdown clock starts!
    LOL!

  63. Dana M says:

    I will probably end up watching 1 or 2 shows just out of curiosity. But that’s it! I don’t wish to waste my time. If I gonna watch TV it will be for QUALITY shows. And besides, there are books I want to catch up on.

    Where is Rita?? I love her comments…

    • Jayna says:

      Yeah, it can’t break into my quality shows like Princesses Long Island and Bridezilla. LOL

  64. Norman says:

    VH1 might as well do a reality show on Goop, I’m sure she is looking for something.

  65. SouthernGal says:

    Not a big believer in psychics but this lady was on point with LeAnn. She forewarned her that a reality show will be the demise of her relationship.

    For those who believe that a TV show will bring in ratings/money. Not! In the past 4 1/2 years, name one project Eddie or LeAnn have worked on that was successful. She tried acting. Failed! Two albums. Failed! Playboy Club. Big Fail! I can take the time to comment on my phone but actually sitting down to watch her fake ass reality show…NOT!

  66. Jennifer12 says:

    Brandi better not let her sons appear on that show. I cannot believe that they would announce the boys will be on the show after the fuss they made about them appearing on Brandi’s show. No, wait. Of course they would.

    • Jayna says:

      I just saw on her twitter where she said they would never have the boys on the show, like they are above that. I loved the onslaught of people saying but you set up pap photos using the boys and others saying you have no say anyway because that’s between the mom and dad. LOL

      • Jennifer12 says:

        I’m not on twitter, so I will have to look it up. Funny because they talked about focusing on parenting the boys, or maybe it was coparenting. She’s just too irritating to keep up with. A show full of bikinis, inappropriate birthday cakes, stalking and laxatives, topped with a gigilo? No thanks.

      • Jennifer12 says:

        Vh1 reports that the series will show the couple’s “normal modern family” life of balancing career and co-parenting Cibrian’s two sons with ex-wife Brandi Glanville.

  67. SLK says:

    Yuck. I just can’t with this garbage.. I’m actually quite in awe of her delusions. And WTF…”super-couple”??? Is.. is that a joke?? He’s an STD- infested gold-digging loser. And she’s a trashy lying ho-bag and an insult to horses everywhere. Everything about her scares me and 89% of the population. Yeah they’re a “super-couple” alright (insert eyeroll). OF COURSE her new show won’t reveal the reality of their life. We won’t see the crazy neurotic jealous behaviors.. for those of you who want to hate watch, don’t. Seriously. Don’t do it. My Little Horsey wants your help to line her pockets and keep Mr. Ed in her stable. Boycott!!

  68. Just So says:

    Does anyone know where the last pic was taken? Because I swear it looks like where I live in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. That totally looks like Okanagan Lake and Okanagan Mountain behind her. Looks like she’s at a winery?

  69. KirstyM says:

    I can’t even remember what songs that woman ever sang.

    But I would probably watch this show because I have been engrossed in what has been written about her on this site for aaaaages.

    • brin says:

      That’s why I won’t watch.

    • Christin says:

      I watched her last acting gig on Charlie’s show, and it was a terrible use of my time (though fluffy PR pieces suggest it was a grand comedic performance).

      The comments on here have made me laugh and think about what sponsors might hop on board. Alcoholic beverages, laxatives and toilet bowl cleaner come to mind…

  70. Felicia says:

    This girl needs a new publicists, management, everything ASAP. THE PROBLEM IS SHE KEEPS TALKING, Being in public and now they are giving her a show. Whatever is left of her career will be in the toilet.

  71. INTHEKNOW says:

    It’s obvious that E! wanted nothing to do with this show, considering they didn’t take it after all of LeAnn’s boo hoo interviews with Rancic and their mutual ass kissing for the past year. LeAnn and Eddie had to settle for the bottom of the barrel clown of reality shows on VH1, the only network that would take them. I know what VH1 is thinking, they will do the 6 episodes of LeAnn & Eddie and then slide them right into the next season of Couples Therapy. How fitting. Don’t forget to wear your false eyelashes & sky high heels LeAnn! Mwah!

  72. Lexi says:

    What has the world come too????

    • Trek Girl says:

      The world has always loved a good train wreck. Nothing new here, just the same old stuff.

  73. mae says:

    She just can’t learn….really she doesn’t understand karma at all. As long as she hurts others and thinks of herself nothing will work out for her. Nothing. This show will also flop and she will be blaming Brandi again. Maybe writing songs about being selfish and and living bad karma out until you make things right might sell some songs but until she gets real and takes responsibility for hurting her husband and Brandi bad bad things will follow her and Eddie you can’t run from yourself.
