LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian Take Relationship To Next Level

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are taking their relationship to the next level as they’ll officially move in together within the next few weeks. A source close to the couple tells People magazine “It just made sense for them. Eddie’s lease was up and LeAnn’s home was bigger and already familiar to Eddie’s sons… It’s somewhere the kids know and it allows Mason (Cibrian’s oldest son) to stay in the same school district, which was important to them, that there’s continuity for him. They take [moving in with the kids] with a lot of responsibility. They want to make sure that it was done in the right way.”

Rimes’s rep confirmed the news, telling People, “they’re excited for this happy new journey.”

Once the crew moves into the home in a gated community in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, LeAnn is looking forward to letting the young boys decorate their own bedrooms. The source adds that Eddie’s sons “love LeAnn’s dogs, and the swimming pool and the backyard.”

LeAnn’s divorce was finalized back in June, while Eddie’s divorce is still pending.

LeAnn Rimes Leaves Twitter After Kissing Pics Hit The Web

Still feeling the media effects of her extra-marrital affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes has decided to take a Twitter break after images of the two kissing hit the internet. LeAnn tweeted…

“Since when is kissing your boyfriend a crime?! Who’s right was it to take pics of us in a private moment and display them for judgement?!”

“Taking a break from twitter for a while. It’s unhealthy for me and my family to have to read negative comments from people who’s opinions have no bearing on my life. I love my fans so very much and will return one day soon. God bless to you all!”

“I hope you understand. It’s time for me to focus on healing, my happiness and my music. I can’t wait to share it all with my fan soon!”

“There’s a million other ways to stay connected with my fans and I plan to focus on those! The most important, bringing you great music!”

You can see the photos that LeAnn is referring to HERE.

We want to know what you think of the LeAnn/Eddie situation… legally, he is still married… so are their public outings too much or is it time for the media to leave them alone?! Sound off in the comments section…

Vince Gills Opens Up About Producing New LeAnn Rimes Album

Vince Gill is a producer on LeAnn Rimes‘ upcoming album, Lady And Gentleman. The album features Rimes singing cover songs by all male artists.

Gill says he had fun working on the project.

“It was an intriguing idea of a record to make,” Gill recently told The Tennessean. “It was a real fun … musical collaboration. The songs are really different than the originals, so it was making them in a way that she was comfortable with but still honoring their tradition without replicating them in a note-for-note kind of way.”

Lady And Gentleman hits stores on October 5.

Nashville Rises!

(Stars Pose For A Group Photo Taken At “Nashville Rising”)

Many of country music’s hottest stars performed at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night as part of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s SOLD-OUT flood relief concert, “Nashville Rising.” Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Montgomery Gentry, Martina McBride, and LeAnn Rimes were part of the star-studded lineup. The packed house was also treated to performances by rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top as well as a performance by Miley Cyrus and Christian singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith.

Some of Hollywood’s finest also stepped up to the plate to show their support for Nashville via video at the concert. Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, and Craig Ferguson sent in video messages that played during the show. Dolly Parton also sent in a great video message saying, “That water never did get high enough to dampen our spirits.”She was right about that!

Speaking of Hollywood, fans were delighted to see Nancy O’Dell (Access Hollywood reporter and former Dancing With The Stars contestant) act as emcee halfway through the night to help present donation checks from corporate sponsors.

The entire evening was fantastic! The set changes went smoothly and McGraw’s band, The Dancehall Doctors, kept the music going as the evening’s house band. Each artist performed 1-2 songs. All of the performances were great, but a few performances definitely stood out to me.

Blake Shelton surprised fans with a special surprise appearance by his “Hillbilly Bone” duet partner, Trace Adkins. I never get sick of seeing them perform together! Blake wanted to make sure everyone had a great time…”I know everyone’s a little emotional. I want to remind you all this is country music and there’s no reason you all shouldn’t raise hell in here tonight,” Shelton said.
Luke Bryan’s performance of his No.1 hit, “Do I” was a memorable one to say the least; Fans recited the chorus back to Bryan in a sing-a-long manner. Luke said it was the best he’s ever heard.
Jason Aldean practically blew the top off of the place with a rockin’ performance of “She’s Country.” His energy and stage presence is amazing.
Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” left us with goosebumps.
Lynyrd Skynyrd had EVERYONE on their feet singing along to “Sweet Home Alabama.” I’ve heard a cover of this song more times than I can count, so it was cool to hear it from the original group.
ZZ Top didn’t say much, but kept everyone rockin’

The biggest surprise of the night came when Sandra Bullock appeared on stage.

“They say a community is only as strong as its weakest link, Bullock said, “And from the looks of it there are no weak links in this community because you guys have been so strong and taken care of each other and taught this country a really great lesson.”

Bullock, who played Tim McGraw’s wife in the award-winning movie The Blind Side, said she wanted to contribute her musical skills as well and proceeded to play a few notes on an acoustic guitar. After strumming a few notes from Deep Purple’s “Smoke On the Water,” Bullock said, “OK, who am I kidding, I can’t play for crap” and introduced Faith Hill.

The entire evening was magical- it was great to see everyone come together as a community. Nashville truly is an amazing city!

According to reports, Nashville Rising raised more than $2 million for the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
