After going dark for several weeks (or as “dark” as she can go), LeAnn Rimes is back with a vengeance. Last week we discovered that her reality show really is happening, and VH1 will air six episodes of “Eddie & LeAnn” at some point. And not only that, but we also heard a tabloid story about LeAnn completely blaming the failure of her album on Brandi. So, what has LeAnn been up to the past few days? She and Eddie have been in Aspen with Mason and Jake, ostensibly so LeAnn could perform at the “Belly Up”. And LeAnn has been tweeting a lot of photos, of course.

As for the questions I’ve had about whether Eddie and LeAnn are going to get Mason and Jake on their new reality show, Brandi Glanville tweeted: “My fancy kids don’t want 2 wake up but they R being picked up by dad 2 go 2 Aspen! Fancy! PS.no they won’t be on eddies show.” So, Brandi has declared it so – no Mason and Jake on the show. But as you can see, LeAnn has no problems continuously tweeting photos of her stepsons. One pic is labeled, “Tip top of the mountain! #Heaven #Aspen.” The “see no evil” photo is labeled “6 lil monkeys”. She tweeted about needing a “hair fairy” and of course, she tweeted about her “new favorite boots” by Isabel Marant. I’m assuming Brandi has been seen in a pair of Isabel Marant boots recently.

LeAnn also did an interview with The Aspen Times – you can read the full piece here. Some highlights:

When she knew she was special: “It probably wasn’t until ‘Blue’ came out that it hit me that I have this talent that’s kind of rare.”

She loves Aspen: “Oh, it’s so beautiful! My husband and I usually go at least once a year to Aspen for vacation. And it’s usually in the winter.”

Feeling comfortable with her voice: “To be honest, it’s been 20 years in the making. And it really wasn’t until “Spitfire” that I began to feel like I had settled into something that felt like me, that was uniquely mine. The album bridges so many different genres of music. Even though it’s more country than anything I’ve done in a long time, there’s a lot of soul and a lot of different things in my voice from people who have influenced me over the years.”

How she ‘keeps her head above water’: “I don’t know. I ask myself that quite often. But I couldn’t have made it this far without being surrounded by a lot of good people. They knock me down a few notches and help keep me grounded. And I really try to take care of myself and be honest. Like, “I’m not doing so well right now — who can I reach out to now for help?” It’s a hard thing to do, and it’s a very hard thing to write something like “Borrowed,” where you really have to look at yourself, take inventory and be honest.”

Blah. It’s just more stuff about how amazing and groundbreaking Spitfire is. I feel kind of sorry for her that she’s still shilling this album so much after it already bombed so badly.
