Eddie Cibrian does damage control for recent cheating reports

35026pcn_leann011

Last week, Life & Style reported that Eddie Cibrian was likely cheating on his girlfriend LeAnn Rimes with his other mistress, Scheana Marie Jancon. Eddie and Scheana had been sleeping together for a year or two – while he was still married to Brandi Glanville. Allegedly, Eddie dumped Sheana when he started having an affair with LeAnn. And now that his marriage to Brandi is over (and LeAnn is now his “girlfriend”), it would make some kind of sense (or poetic justice) for Eddie to begin cheating on LeAnn with his other mistress. It was a great, hilarious scoop by Life & Style, and most people greeted the report with a chuckle.

Many of us also thought that LeAnn would have Eddie trotting out for a photo-op very quickly. Well… we didn’t really get photos, but we did a glowing report about Eddie and LeAnn’s weekend activities (Vegas, baby). Not only that, Eddie had his lawyers threaten Life & Style with a lawsuit! Oh, this is so rich… I must refuse this delicious treat, I’m trying to diet! Oh, no, I must:

A rep for “CSI: Miami” star Eddie Cibrian says Life & Style Magazine has crossed the line by claiming he’s cheating on LeAnn Rimes — and he’s going to take them to court.

Cibrian’s rep released a statement: “Unfortunately Life & Style Magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales, but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others. This is irresponsible and reckless journalism. Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It’s a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding.”

On Thursday, the magazine reported Cibrian recently started “seeing” an ex-girlfriend. Life & Style claimed Cibrian was bragging about hooking up with a “different” girl while shooting “CSI: Miami” in Florida, but the CBS series tapes in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

I know I wasn’t the only one who was rooting for a shout-out of our fan favorite, the “unfair fishbowl”. It would have been so easy to throw an “unfair fishbowl” into the mix with that statement too. Instead, we get the weird wording of “face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding”. If I was nit-picking, I would mock “untruthful”, but I don’t have the heart for it. Now, onto to Las Vegas! People Magazine reports that LeAnn brought Eddie out for a little fun and relaxation… and pole dancing. Yes, LeAnn works the pole. Dry. Heave.

Problems? What problems?

Following a report earlier this week that Eddie Cibrian had been spending time with another woman – an allegation Cibrian has strenuously denied – the CSI: Miami hunk and his girlfriend, LeAnn Rimes, showed up at a nightclub Friday night after Rimes’s concert in Las Vegas for a little fun, relaxation – and pole dancing.

Observers spotted the carefree-seeming couple in the VIP section of XS nightclub, where they talked, laughed and knocked back tequila drinks. Though they stayed at the venue inside the Encore Resort for only 20 minutes, there was time enough for a PDA.

“They were making out at the table and didn’t really care who saw them,” a source says. Rimes, 27, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress, even danced on one of the club’s stripper poles before leaving just after midnight, the source said.

Cibrian, 36, filed for divorce last August from his wife, Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two sons. Fans will recall that after murmurs of trouble in their marriage, the pair were caught by the cameras last spring as they stepped out for a night of togetherness – at a Las Vegas night club.

Ugh. Of course. So predictable. I bet LeAnn is pissed she couldn’t arrange for some paparazzi to “catch” them dancing. I do have to note one thing though – People Magazine seems to be dangerously close to calling Eddie on some of his bullsh-t, don’t they? The last paragraph seems like People’s version of “they’re just doing it for damage control because everyone knows he can’t keep it in his pants”. Which he is and we do know that. It’s nice that People is showing a brief moment of skepticism.

    Come on You know he is with her because of the attention he is getting now.

    This guy has been in the business for years and could walk around Holly and not be recognized but anyone, unless he was at a movie premiere.

    Now all of a sudden he hooks up with Inbreed and the spotlights are a shinning.

    He is good looking but so are a lot of actors, he’s an OK actor but then again Holly is filled with them.

    What other way could he become a house hold name then to hook up with some one else and feed the fires of a scandal with an affair on the movie set,
    it did wonders for Jolie/Pitt, Danes/ Billy Crudup, and Tori/Dean- they even spun it into a show (tacky very tacky)

    More press for him with the extra other woman in the back ground.

    Now if this ex-other woman is still waiting for him, that’s her stupidity.

  2. crab says:

    I can’t wait until that smug looks gets slapped off her ugly face!! Same goes with him!! The two of them are nothing but a couple of cockroaches!!

  3. JJ says:

    It takes two days of Smirky grillin’ the Jerk and then a statement about suing?? Then a 20 minute “show” to let the world know the greatest love story ever…is still intact.The road show will now move to Nashville for the CMA’s where they can show more lovin’. Reality Check: Smirky was really pissed, knows he is with other women and yanks the leash to let EC know she bought him and he better not forget it. You know that leash may get so tight, it may cause impotence. Which ultimately will be a real problem, cause we know that’s all he thinks with! This is getting so good.

  4. Firestarter says:

    Oh…..people are still interested in these two?????

    Also, I cannot think of anything that would be more repulsive than seeing Rimes attempting a stripper pole dance! Give me bleach stat!

  5. snowball says:

    I’m still befuddled about them.

    I mean, really – in what bizarro universe is LeeAnn Rimes bumping uglies with Eddie Cibrian? Do these two even have anything in common other than a slut gene?

  6. badhorse says:

    she is so ugly

  7. deb says:

    3-2-1 waiting for Leann’s idiot “publicist” to poof in like an evil genie.

  8. wow says:

    See? This is exactly by the “book” … the united couple photo op. Now I’m more sided with believing the original story to be true.

    And Leeann is loving this… the whole “cat that got the cream” sly smile of hers in the last featured picture says it all… he could cheat on her with 20 more women and she wouldn’t care because she loves the “attention” and the notion that he left his marriage to be with her.

  9. Judy says:

    He didnt leave his marriage, his wife threw him out, big difference. She wants a divorce too. Ya cant blame Lee for his marriage going to hell, he already had a broad on the side for 2 years so why is it Lee’s fault? His wife would have sat back for years and let him screw anything he wanted but this time he found someone who has $$$$ and it fits her needs too because now she will get a bigger chunk from child support and alimony. Who knows he and his ex could be in this deal together.Both looking at the $$$$ they can BOTH get because of her bank account, it was fine for him to be a cheat before he landed someone with big bucks, now it is time for the ex to cash in too.,

  10. sunseeker says:

    what I find really strange is why he did not sue the article about him cheating on his wife, which he said was unfair reporting and not true. Said at the time he and his wife would get through this. Seen holding his wife’s hand, like he is now holding Rimes hand, kissing and cuddling his wife, same as he is doing now with Rimes. I doubt he has been cheating so soon doesn’t want to loose his cashcow, but give him time.

  11. Sigh. says:

    They better start a savings account for all of the future pointless lawsuits they’re gonna have to levy against stories of him cheating on her.

    This, my friends, will never end.

  12. Deb says:

    L&S stands by their reporting according to Access Hollywood.

  13. Val says:

    So L&S stands by their story. Eddie now has to publically answer the following question. “Have you Eddie had sex with Scheana in the last 90 days?” The question requires a simple yes or no. It’s black and white. No explanation or word games are necessary.

  14. lrm says:

    hey there was a blind item just like this on DDAN recently. [not sure if it was their blind or posted from somewhere else…]But the added twist is that the mistress is pregnant! hmmm…time will tell.
    who is surprised?
    honestly?
    they are both ridiculous in these photos.
    I’ve never understood her appeal,either.
    lots of people can sing.

  15. Goddess711 says:

    Lee Anne Rimes and Jennifer Love Hewitt both doing pole dances in one week? How are we supposed to know who’s got Swine Flu and who’s just reacting to the visuals of these? Shudddderrr.

  16. Val says:

    I for one support LeAnn’s right to have an open sexual relationship. No more of this goody-two-shoes, Christian morals, family values, wholesome country girl crap she’s been selling for years. I’d rather see her pole dancing in public naked than hear her say “I love my husband dearly” or “I will love what I cannot change” or “I’m not considering divorce”. Sex for LeAnn and Eddie has nothing to do with morals. It feels good and is pleasurable. There is no intamacy. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. All you Rimes people who supported her when she was lieing, deceiving, manipulating, taunting, and betraying anyone in her path must continue to support her in her sexual choice. IT’S JUST SEX. Unlike her affair, there are no innocent people being hurt by Eddie and LeAnn sharing a bed with whomever they choose. Stop assigning to LeAnn values and morals she does not have!!! Let her be herself. I would rather she be an honest tramp than a trampy fake.

  17. JJ says:

    The reason for all this lawyer talk is LR is pushing and bankrolling it. She’s gotta show the world he only loves and has sex with her. Hey Eddie, what happen to all that respect and privacy talk to protect your kids. Guess shooting back shots and making out in public so that it gets splashed over the wires is ok in your moral code book (like you even know waht that is). Betcha EC will grow to despise LR one day, no matter how many presents she buys or how much she paid for her stud muffin.

  18. snowball says:

    Judy, I’m having an almost impossible time grasping that LeeAnn has a ton of money. I imagine she’s going to have to pay alimony too.

    This story would be really fun if we changed the name from Scheana to Sienna.

  19. betty says:

    This love and togetherness is going to be a hard sell for these two clowns after the cheating rumor. Nobody is buying it. Eddie told the same lies to Brandi that he feeding Leann. She is so desperate to be with this man that she will do anything to be with him, but she can’t keep him from straying no matter what she gives him. Eddie is an actor and he is just playing another role with her. He will say or do anything to appease her now as long as he gets what he wants from her. She is pathetic and he is a jerk.

  20. Mave says:

    YEAH!!! I remembering him denying the Leann affair too. His word means nothing, women get tricked into believing that they are so special that he won’t cheat on them. If he can destroy a family and see his children cry and cry…he can cheat again.

  21. deb says:

    Your supposed to sue a mag if what’s printed damages your image. Eddie’s done enough in the past few months to tank his. Maybe he should sue himself first…..what an idiot.

  22. Wresa says:

    LOL Goddess!! Touche!!

  23. For Sooth? says:

    Awwwwwwwwww, is Eddie’s fish bowl becoming a fish tank??!!

  24. CB Rawks says:

    “…story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales”

    This is so poorly constructed. Redundancies, poor word choices. Eddie, you ain’t getting your dollas worth with this so-called Rep. 🙂

  25. Cat says:

    “Unlike her affair, there are no innocent people being hurt by Eddie and LeAnn sharing a bed with whomever they choose”
    Um his KIDS might be hurt??? It’s never ‘just sex’ when marriages and children are involved.

    “I’d rather see her pole dancing in public naked. . .”
    Um how about neither??? And why oh why do people think we want to see them act like whores? Maybe some do but the majority of us are dry (or wet) heaving.

  26. JJ says:

    Radar Online has pics of our happy couple leaving a concert Monday night. Check out the hideous tights Smirky has on. Ready Eddie strikes his usual pose of head down and of course LR has the smirk goin’ full on. Just disgusting.

  27. betty says:

    We all know that this is just a cover up act by two phonies. There will probably be a lot of photo ops like this. Leann will use any means to show this man loves her. This is just one roller coaster ride he will have her riding. Fooling the public is one thing, fooling yourself is another.
