Eddie Cibrian & LeAnn Rimes show off their love after sushi

35026PN_LeAnn
God, could LeAnn Rimes look more thrilled with herself? She’s is eating up all of this media coverage. These are from last night, where LeAnn and Eddie Cibrian were photographed leaving Katsuya in West Hollywood. I will not make a fish joke, I will not make a fish joke. Must. Not. It looks like Eddie’s going to get fish for dessert too. Gah! I hate myself.

Radar points out that Eddie and LeAnn were going to leave by a side door that presumably had fewer or no paparazzi staked out. At the last minute, they apparently decided to leave through the front, providing LeAnn with her beloved photo op. See, it’s true love if he holds my hand in front of photographers! That’s what her face says to me. As for Eddie, all I think when I see his dumb face is “schmuck”. Oh, and I was also reminded of Eddie’s recent comments to Rachel Ray, where he claimed he wanted to “insulate” his kids from this kind of press frenzy: “I don’t think it’s very conducive to play anything like privately out publicly at all. I mean I think it’s like very hurtful.” Too bad LeAnn is all over it.

Proving once and for all they’re no longer camera shy, hunky actor Eddie Cibrian and country cutie LeeAnn Rimes stepped out in style Monday night in West Hollywood.

The charismatic couple was spotted leaving Katsuya restaurant after dark. At first, the pair tried to leave the Japanese eatery through a side door, but they apparently changed their minds and left through the front entrance.

The CSI Miami star refused to speak out his tangled love life, but earlier Monday, Cibrian appeared on The Rachael Ray Show, and broke his silence about being a tabloid target since news broke of his affair with Rimes.

When Ray asked about his estranged wife Brandi Granville’s very public attacks on him, Cibrian said he’s opted to take the high road and stay quiet. “I don’t think it’s very conducive to play anything out privately publically. It’s very hurtful. Unfortunately, you get only one side of a very complicated story.”

Ray also asked about the unwanted media attention is impacting his two sons with Granville.

Said Cibrian: “I tried to shield them as much as possible. My philosophy is to try to insulate them so that they are not subject to anything regarding the business or anything of a tabloid nature.”

Cibrian and Rimes met earlier this year on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Lights and reportedly began a torrid affair. They were both married at the time, but are now both divorcing their respective spouses.

I don’t really have anything else to add beyond a few more fish jokes, but I already hate myself enough. I feel like I should say something nice about one of them. Sigh… let’s see. LeAnn’s hair looked really pretty. She must be doing something different, because her hair doesn’t usually have that much body. Usually it’s pretty limp. Like Eddie. Gah! NO! Also, it’s nice that Eddie’s driving and not LeAnn. She’s a horrible driver. And it must make Eddie feel like a man to take the wheel. Either that, or he feels like his sugar mama’s chauffeur. Six of one, half dozen the other.

    That seems fishy to me!

  2. Praise St. Angie! says:

    she does look pretty smug in those pictures.

    but she still looks like a man.

  3. Annie says:

    Why does this grown man speak like a valley girl?

    Do you think there are enough “like”s in his comment?

  4. Jazz says:

    These two make me want to hurl.

  5. buckley says:

    what the hell did he say…was that english?
    what in the world does he see in her. she is so fugly.
    guess they deserve each other.
    Karma’s a comin kids!

  6. Lantana says:

    It’s nice to see that Eddie can be responsible and take the high road to protect his kids. His past action speaks for how honorable and considerate he is both in his parenting and his relationships. This latest ploy, er, action only goes to further demonstrate how righteous he is. Who among us doesn’t agree it’s best not to play anything out like privately publicly? That’s pretty clear to me. The man is solid gold. Digger.

  7. maddie says:

    Wow they sure are spinning this for the extra attention, not to be mean but really who really knew he was an actor, and yes I did watch Third Watch (99-05), and enjoyed it, but what other show did he do with him in a starring role?

    7 roles in this show 8 in another his last starring role was in Invasion in 2006, so yes just I think he will milk this until he finds something better in his eyes.

    Rimes should be afraid because Eddie is making 2 TV movies this year and we all know how that went down the last time.

    I’m sure she will be making a lot of visits to the set. Serves her right.
    Gay or not she married her husband, and for someone to cheat with a known cheater and think that this will not be their fate is a fool.

  8. Sudini says:

    Neither one of them has any shame. Icky, icky, icky people.

  9. Jills says:

    She totally has a Butterface.

  10. Vermithrax says:

    Ugh. Dirt bags.

  11. Sigh. says:

    I looooove how celebutards go to KNOWN and well-documented photo-op “hot spots” then try to pretend to NOT want their pic taken.

    Apparently, he’s gotten over being in a “fishbowl.”

  12. nikki says:

    that’s more honest than the begining of Pitt/Jolie(“we’re only friends because i’m married”)

  13. Firestarter says:

    Is there anyone who could get this girl a pair of eyes? Her lack of orbs creeps me out to be honest, more so than her cheating ways.

  14. maddie says:

    When Ray asked about his estranged wife Brandi Granville’s very public attacks on him, Cibrian said he’s opted to take the high road and stay quiet. “I don’t think it’s very conducive to play anything out privately publically.

    Oh like kissing on your girlfriend while married for all the world to see,
    now I know why he’s an actor, even a trained monkey cam get his lines right.

    What a clueless tool.

  15. CiCi says:

    Dear Eddie –

    That’s not even the correct usage of “conducive.” Also, you need some voice coaching – your weak voice on CSI doesn’t match the (mostly) hot ruggedness, IMO.

  16. Kerri says:

    LeAnn looks like a giddy teenager who just stabbed her best friend in the back and got her man. She has one of those “I am like so sitting in the front seat of his car and you are not” looks on her face. She looks so smug that you just want to smack that stupid silly grin off her face.

    Sadly, Eddie just seems to be after sex and happened to get stuck in this fishbowl and she will end up being dumped in the end.

  17. Green Is Good says:

    “Smug” definitely describes Leann Rhimes. She looks way too proud of herself. Wonder if she’ll be this smug when Eddie dumps her ass in 6 months.

  18. gungho says:

    I think they look great!!!

    Le Ann is beaming with that “in love” smile. If it is meant for them to be together I wish them all the best life can bring.

    Taylor Swift has a squinty smile so shall we criticize her too?

  19. Deb says:

    @gungho
    Chase ya off the JJ board Michaela.
    They both look like lying cheating assholes. This is what Eddie must have meant about PROTECTING his kids NOT!!!

  20. gungho says:

    They’re free to come and go as they please. Why should they hide? The kids will be just fine and love their daddy. It almost never happens that kids take one side or the other. And it’s not healthy for one parent to poison the kid’s minds .

  21. Praise St. Angie! says:

    that’s no “in love” smile.

    THIS is an “in love” smile.

    http://woodenspears.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/seal_klum.jpg

    THIS is an “in love” smile.

    LeMANN’s smile says “oh, good…another pic that will drive Brandi crazy…I win!”.

  22. Bam Bam says:

    Easy for EC to talk like he’s the bigger person when he did the hurting in his former relationship.

  23. JJ says:

    Sleezann looks like a trampy teenager dating the high school jock. Only one problem, she is suppose to be an adult with an ounce of maturity. That smirk is beyond disgusting and he is just a horndog. Hey Mr. Cibrian, how are your ACTIONS showing any respect for the famiily you left? Smirk girl has the paps on speed dial, how else would they have found them at a football game in Texas with thousands of people? Yep, he is bought and paid for and gosh darn she wants to show off her purchase. Brandi, stay strong, just watch while is leash gets tighter and his “manhood” gets smaller 🙂

  24. Deb says:

    It also won’t be healthy for the kids to GOOGLE at some point their dirt bag of a father and his ho and realize just how little respect he had for them and their mother.. Eddie has totally proven himself to be a lying Douche…EVERYTIME he opens his mouth he lies over and over again.
    Using your kids as a PR shield is vile.
    Nice to know you have Leann’s moral’s Gung
    and they aren’t the morals that take the high road.

  25. gungho says:

    Le Ann has smiled the same way all her life. You can find tons of photos of her at different ages with the same smile. I find it sunny and playful.

  26. gungho says:

    Are you saying the 2 boys will hate their father for this? I have met and worked with lots of kids of divorces and that has not been my experience.

  27. lolo says:

    Who cares about them. That Eddie guy is hot. She’s just a stupid bitch like me.

  28. nAynAy says:

    How stupid can LeAnn be? She has to know that he’s eventually going to cheat on her like he did his wife. As the old saying goes, and I feel like a broken record now but” Once a cheat, always a cheat!”

    His children might eventually grow up to hate their father for the way he’s flaunting his relationship with LeAnn around. They might resent him for hurting mommy.

  29. princess pea says:

    ~~ How stupid can Eddie be? He has to know that she’s eventually going to cheat on him like she did her husband. As the old saying goes, and I feel like a broken record now but” Once a cheat, always a cheat!” ~~

    I don’t understand the commenter spin on these two. They did the same thing to their spouses, and yet invariably people are on one side and only ONE. Like Eddie, then you better hate Brandi and LeAnn. Like Brandi, HATE ‘EM ALL! Like LeAnn? Better hate on Eddie and Brandi both.

    But let’s leave the kids out of it. (If you’re so worried about their well being, stop gossiping about them.) I know I’m not the only person whose parents split when they were young to make it to adulthood in one piece. The kids will be fine.

  30. Cinderella says:

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and say she picked up the check.

  31. Sudini says:

    Gungho – you must be just playing devil’s advocate and looking for a reaction because I don’t believe for a minute that anyone could honestly view this relationship as anything other than deceitful and selfish. So, there you have my reaction. Oh, and yes I think a lot of children DO grow up to resent (not necessarily hate, but resent) a parent who was unfaithful to their spouse and to their family. This man does not get a free pass. Actions have consequences.

  32. Deb says:

    @GUNG

    Did I type the word hate in my post. No I did not. Respect now that’s a whole other issue.Pay attention. So now you’re a child mental health expert. You know what Gung I doubt you have worked with any kids of divorce.
    What I think is you sit on various boards all day long using different names and taking pot shots at Brandi and cooing about Leann. Brandi must really get under your skin. But I guess anyone with a moral compass would. Your girl Leann acts like a slut plain and simple. All she cares about is winning the prize and she has won no prize in Eddie as he has proven to be a lying douche.
    If they cared about the kids, they would have had a modicum of respect and kept their high school behavior out of the lime light. Most of us aren’t one bit shocked of the photo ops so soon after the Ray show. It’s Eddie’s MO. Past and present actions speak louder than words. If Eddie doesn’t like the heat then don’t make public statements that make you look like a liar and very stupid one at that.

  33. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “You know what Gung I doubt you have worked with any kids of divorce.”

    you know what, Deb? I totally agree.

    specifically, anyone who has worked with “lots” of kids of divorce wouldn’t say this:

    “It almost never happens that kids take one side or the other.”

    EVERY kid of divorce I’ve ever met has taken a side. regardless of what their parents say, kids know that, usually, one parent is “more” responsible for the marriage breakdown.

  34. gungho says:

    I never stated the kids won’t take a side but as far as being estranged from one parent because of a divorce it isn’t common…unless one of the parents deserted or abused the kids too.

    There are cases where parents have remained together in a loveless marriage for the kid’s sake and it would have been a heck of a lot better to have split.

  35. Iggles says:

    She’s smug but I can’t really hate on them. What’s the point? We all know how this is gonna end..

  36. Cat says:

    Ugh I hate it when Hollywood idiots use their kids like this.
    Eddie: “Don’t pay any attention to what a lying slimy sack of crap I am! See, I’ve got a kid” (Holds up kid to use as shield).
    I can and will vocally disapprove of Eddie, kids or not.

  37. Deb says:

    @ gung
    Well Gung I sure would like to have what you are drinking on Planet LA LA.
    Divorce is hell on children period…it’s scary because their world as they know it is has been shattered. Maybe you should take a look at the stats about how well some of these kids from broken homes fare and yes side’s are definitely chosen.

    If Eddie’s kids thrive it won’t be because of anything he did. It will be because of their mother. Eddie is a narcissistic, selfish asshole who pulls the kid card when the heat gets too hot. If he cared he would have kept his crap private ….no photo ops, no going out the front door of the restaurant swarming w/paps,no Mexico pics, no KOL pics, no Texas Game pics, no Pomona Fair pics, no finger sucking pics, no bike ride pics, no telling Brandi he was being stalked by Leann, he could have come clean at this point. But no, not Douchie he continued to go to marriage counseling and lie lie lie. Also if he cared he should have put his foot down about Leann parading her her ugly mug about town rubbing it in. This is a HUGE part of the reason people can’t stand them.

  38. Jake says:

    @#6 Lantana
    I have read your posts before and I get the feeling that you speak with a Cuban accent. I wonder how you feel about LeAnn exposing their affair in the security video and setting up the stake out at the hotel for sex. Eddie was just playing her so LeAnn had to make Brandi aware of the affair. How do you feel about LeAnn setting up and betraying Eddie like she did. She did it again at the basketball game. LeAnn is mean spirited and very manipulative. She taunts Brandi and should never be allowed to be around the children. Tell me please. How would you like to have LeAnn as your daughter-in-law? I am very interested in your response.

  39. gungho says:

    In some instances divorce is a relief from a living Hell if there is fighting or abuse in the home.

    If Eddie was coming home living a lie that permeates the atmosphere with dishonesty. The kids sense that subconsciously. Since Eddie wasn’t about to stop his philandering it’s better he’s gone. How much time they spend with him now we don’t know.

    I don’t drink, smoke or drug BTW.

  40. Praise St. Angie! says:

    um, I quoted YOU, gungho.

    do you not recognize your own words?

    “It almost never happens that kids take one side or the other.” (post 20)

    and in a situation like this, his kids may very well feel abandoned…considering how publicly he abandoned their mother.

  41. Mave says:

    He’s taking the high road…what a joke. He had an affair and hurt his children and his wife. He and leann took the lowest road ever.

  42. la chica says:

    LeAnn needs to have a chat with Chris Evert. this lust is going to burn itself out. lust always does. both she and Eddie will survive. so will Brandi. it’s the children who remain permanently scarred.

  43. Ursula says:

    I can never get over how ugly she is. Oh to be ugly inside and outside. But this is the last comment I make on them. They are such F- listers.

  44. gungho says:

    @ praise st.angie

    Meaning siding solely by choosing mom over dad. Naturally they’ll have opinions about it later in life but not at the expense of eliminating Eddie from their lives. Unless he abandons or abuses then. Even thenk kids are generally very forgiving and want to know mom and dad, Brandi and Eddie.

  45. JJ says:

    At what point should we start referring to Eddie as MR.LEANN RIMES, since he’s been bought and paid for. Let’s add it up shall we: dirt bike, trip to Mexico, trip to Texas, now driving Porche SUV, assorted jewelry, meals, assorted hotel rooms and yes, she pays rent on the house near the wife and kids. The bonus prize is a short leash for LR to yank at will. All he had to do was sell his soul, such a deal!

  46. Praise St. Angie! says:

    well, which is it?

    DO they take sides or don’t they? because your posts contradict each other.

    it has been MY experience that kids do pick one side or another, and resent the parent that did the “breaking”.

    at ANY age.

  47. gungho says:

    @ praise st angie

    We all wish the ideal will prevail between our parents; but most of those I know who are kids of divorce or adults of divorced parents – and we know the figures are astronomical – say they wouldn’t have wanted their parents to have stayed unhappily married…because they themselves wouldn’t want to be obligated to remain in an unhappy union for the kid’s sake . The kids will experience a tense or resentful home atmosphere.

    We don’t know whether Eddie will be a presence in the 2 boys lives. That might depend on whether Brandi remarries and what kind of a role figure he might play.

  48. Deb says:

    Well Eddie has certainly proven to be a “stellar” role model NOT!!!!

    Gung is Leann PR…..obvious obvious obvious….no ones buying it.

    Maybe you try one of the vices you don’t do…you might make more sense

  49. betty says:

    Gungo: This saga has nothing to do with whether parents should stay together in an unhappy marriage it has to do with respect. Eddie does not respect his estranged wife or kids and thats a fact. He is a poor excuse for a man and a sadder excuse for a father. I’ll give Leann a semipass on this one. She is a barren woman and would have no clue about motherhood. Their circumstances demanded discretion not boldness. His son attends school and parents gossip, and most decent parents see him as scum and feel empathy for his family. I noticed in every photo-op with Leann his head is lowered but the ones with Brandi he’s standing tall.That says alot right there.

  50. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “say they wouldn’t have wanted their parents to have stayed unhappily married…because they themselves wouldn’t want to be obligated to remain in an unhappy union for the kid’s sake .”

    which I’m sure is true, but that’s NOT what I was asking about, NOT what I disagreed with you on, and NOT what you contradicted yourself about.

    they call that “shifting the goalposts”.

  51. gungho says:

    @ praise st. angie

    I made myself very clear in prior posts. You can easily read them and see what I said. There is no contradiction but there may be comprehension problems.

  52. crash2GO2 says:

    What do you think is going to hurt the kids more? Seeing pics like these or reading all the hateful venom being spewed below them?

    Doesn’t this just feel like it’s gone on long enough? Or am I the only one?

  53. gungho says:

    @ crash2G02

    Expect to be flamed for that post : )

    Since they can’t read and Mom and Dad seem to be in agreement about shielding them at their tender ages of 6 and 2 probably neither.

    Too much venom flying around…I agree.

  54. Deb says:

    @crash
    I think you and gungho share the same brain. Pity

  55. Praise St. Angie! says:

    sorry, no…you did not make yourself clear.

    you said one thing (post 20), I disagreed.

    then you contradicted yourself, and claimed you never said what you did previously. (post 34)

    then you made a comment on a totally different aspect of this when I commented on your contradiction.

    if there’s any comprehension problem, it’s between your mind and your typing fingers.

    bottom line…yes, it’s better for the kids if a couple divorces than if the parents were to live in a tense, painful marriage where they’re always fighting. That I don’t disagree with.

    however, that is a separate issue from whether or not, in general, kids tend to “take a side” in a divorce. Even when divorcing is the best option for all involved, it doesn’t translate into the kids not taking a side.

  56. jmb0326 says:

    Crash – I completely agree. What are they supposed to do? Sit in their houses and sulk for the next 10 years? I don’t know what happened in their marriages and don’t really care. It’s sad anytime a marriage fails, especially when kids are involved. But, none of us know what was going on between these couples behind closed doors. Their marriages could have been over long before Leann and Eddie met. Either way, I don’t get the public outlash at them on sites like this.

  57. Patrice says:

    Love him or hate him (and I mean, c’mon, we all know he is a pig for what he did, letting his wife do that US Weekly story calling LeAnn “a stalker” all while seeing her on the side), but the guy is f*cking GORGEOUS, and I really just don’t get how LeAnn Rimes is worth leaving your family for? Seriously, why??? She’s not cute and hasn’t really done anything wth her career in years. Why her, I mean maybe if it was I don’t know, Penelope Cruz or something (but she’s waaaay to classy to ever be with a married man), but Leanne? Gross.

  58. Patrice says:

    Oh, and NOW he’s worried about “hurting his kids”?? What a scumbag. He should have quietly divorced his wife if he wasn’t happy and THEN moved on. I would NEVER forgive my Dad for doing something like this to my family, especially if it were all carried out in public! My God,I think I get it now; he and LeAnn are both narcissists. They deserve each other.
    But really, how long do we think it’s going to be before Miss Rimes pops up pregnant when she feels his interests waining…honey, if he left his wife, he’s not sticking around for you. History will repeat itself. Mark my words : )

  59. crash2GO2 says:

    @Deb, I haven’t read his/her posts, so you’ll have to clear that up for me if you care to. I can assure you I am a completely different person than that poster.

    Why don’t you tell me exactly what it is I said that you disagreed with, and we can go from there.

    @gungho – unfortunately this stuff stays out in cyberspace for years. I think people forget that…

  60. betty says:

    @jmbo&crash–Undoubtedly this must be the first man Leann has ever had and this is the first rich female Eddie that has been attracted to him. She was attracted to his looks and he is attracted to her bankroll. The reason for the backlash is obvious. It’s because of the way these two handled their affair. Leann masquerated as a bible thumping Christian and acted like a whore of course we know what Eddie is.With all that love can’t they just move on Eddie is beginning to act like John Gosselin. End a relationship before you start another.

  61. gungho says:

    @ praise st. angie

    I gave a clear explanation in several posts above. If they are beyond your ken or if you wish to misrepresent what I said in those posts, then so be it.

  62. Praise St. Angie! says:

    right…act all condescending and tell me that I “didn’t understand” your super intellectual argument. the last resort of someone who doesn’t want to simply admit they were wrong.

    all I did was disagree with you on a comment you made, at which point you denied ever making the comment.

    YOUR words. all I did was quote you. how can I “misrepresent” what you said when I quoted YOUR words?

    egad, try reading your own words sometime – it may help you quite a bit when you’re trying to pretend that you know what you’re talking about.

  63. gungho says:

    I don’t think Eddie’s boys will take sides. They will have an opinion but only after hearing their dad’s side of things and not to such a point as to eliminating him from their lives.

    They are boys and will probably identify closely in many ways with their dad- unless for some reason they drift apart or some other reason.

    It’s best not to pick only one sentence or parts of sentences to prove something because we could all then find anything we wished to and accuse without validity.

  64. betty says:

    @gungho I’ve read some of your comments and you are assuming a lot and way off base on others. The facts are Eddie lied,deceived,cheated and flaunted this affair while still married to their mother. One cannot right wrongs. In order to have a relationship in the future with his kids Eddie will have take responsibility for his past actions and seek their forgiveness. They could care less about his side of the story. Fact is he hurt their mother. If he wants a relatioship with his boys he will have to earn their respect. As for as indentifying with him,yes, to be a better man than he is. It’s not what you tell your children , it what they see you do.

  65. Praise St. Angie! says:

    betty, that’s pretty much what I said, too.

    the kids very likely feel abandoned as their father very publicly abandoned “mommy”, and therefore them as well.

    but according to SOME people, they’ll “identify” with their dad because they’re BOYS? At best that’s pretty sexist and, more accurately, totally illogical. but you see how logical some people are…

  66. nene's bestie says:

    this girl is so delusional its not even funny…she has to be a narcissist, shes so damn selfish, and him?…they deserve eachother..

  67. gungho says:

    I was just reading an article about the winner’s and losers of TV’s new season and it said “Ugly Betty” has been relegated to the “chopping block” or “The Graveyard”, as a Friday night slot is known in TV industry parlance.

    So why would CSI:Miami Eric Delko leave a solid show and head for his demise on Ugly Betty?
    Will he return to his old place on CSI and displace Eddie?

  68. Wonderful beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your web site, how could i subscribe for a blog site? The account aided me a acceptable deal. I have been a little bit familiar of this your broadcast offered shiny clear concept
