Actor’s Wife Calls LeAnn Rimes A ‘Stalker’


June 4th, 2009

leann-rimes-countrymusicislove

LeAnn Rimes has been no stranger to the media lately since the country-singer-turned-actress allegedly had an affair with her Northern Lights co-star, Eddie Cibrian.  It’s appeared in recent weeks that the two have been working on their respective marriages and now the wife of Cibrian, Brandi Glanville, is speaking out against Rimes saying LeAnn needs to let go of her obsession with Eddie.  “LeAnn is a stalker,” Glanville tells Us Weekly magazine. “She refuses to leave us alone — it is shameful and scary. People are going to say it takes two to tango and I get that, but at some point LeAnn needs to stop asking him to dance.”  Glanville goes on to suggest that Rimes intentionally stalked down Cibrian at a basketball game last month, two weeks after he had to change his cell phone number due to LeAnn’s “constant texting and calling.”

UPDATE:  A rep for LeAnn released the following statement to People.com…

“These comments are incredibly defamatory… While there are always two sides to every story, LeAnn continues to remain above the fray and chooses not to play this out in the press.”

UPDATE: LeAnn released a response late last night to People.com as well…

“You know what, I’m a classy woman, I’m never ever going to battle anything out in the press,” says LeAnn Rimes.

She adds, “It is what it is. “I can’t control other people but I can control what I say and what I don’t. I refuse to get down on any one else’s level and I’m going to take the high road on everything.”

MTV Movie Awards- Where Were The Fashion Police?!


June 1st, 2009

57572800

LeAnn Rimes and Miley Cyrus walked to the red carpet last night at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. We don’t know about you, but we do not like either of their fashion choices! LeAnn’s dress doesn’t look like anything like what she typically wears (while it’s nice to see her cover up a bit, it’s almost too much) and Miley looks like she’s dressed for a day at the office, not a walk on the red carpet!

LeAnn Rimes Selling Nashville Home


May 19th, 2009

leann-rimes-dean-countrymusicislove

After much speculation about her marriage in recent months, LeAnn Rimes has put her newly built Nashville mansion on the market.  The house was finished in late 2008 and features 6 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, as well as a media and fitness room and is listed for $7.45 million.

A friend of LeAnn’s insists to People.com that the reason for selling the mansion has nothing to do with the state of her marriage to Dean Sheremet.  “LeAnn and Dean decided to put their home on the market because she’s been spending more time in L.A. [where the couple also have a home] and New York.  She’s been receiving more offers in the film, TV and theater worlds, so they want to have a footprint in all three cities,” the friend told People.

The friend also says that although the marriage has hit a rough patch, LeAnn and Dean are committed to working through it.  The friend said that LeAnn and Dean “are still having challenges and trying to work through them. They’re working on their marriage.” 

This news comes just days after LeAnn was spotted in L.A. chatting with the subject of her alleged affair, Eddie Cibrian.  The two were at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game separately and without their spouses, but happened to run into each other at a concession stand.  (You can see an image of the meeting HERE.)  That same friend tells People.com that the encounter was definitely NOT planned.  “That was totally random.  They both just happened to be at the game,” said the friend.

LeAnn is also said to be working on a new country album that is due out this fall.

i-hope-you-dance-lee-ann-womack

Momlogic.com took a Mother’s Day survey to find out the ‘Top 10 Mom Songs,’ and there’s no surprise that country music was pretty dominant on the list!  The top 10 songs in any genre as voted on by Mom’s are…

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
In My Daughter’s Eyes - Martina McBride
Mr. Mom - Lonestar
Halo - Beyonce
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
You’re Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins
A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion
My Wish - Rascal Flatts
Daughter - Loudon Wainwright III
Momisms (to the William Tell Overture) - Anita Renfroe

Narrowed down to just the country side of things, this is how the list turned out…

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
In My Daughter’s Eyes - Martina McBride
Mr. Mom - Lonestar
You’re Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins
My Wish - Rascal Flatts
Blessed - Martina McBride
I Could Not Ask For More - Sara Evans
Always Be My Baby - Sara Evans
How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes
I Told You So - Carrie Underwood

So to all the Mom’s out there - what do you think of that list?  Do you have any other favorites that you’d add to the list?  One of my personal favorites that didn’t make the list is Reba McEntire’s “You’re Gonna Be.”

LeAnn Rimes: Actress


April 7th, 2009

I finally got around to watching LeAnn Rimes in Northern Lights over the weekend. It’s been sitting on my DVR since the premiere so I figured I should watch it before it accidentally got deleted.

I must say I was VERY impressed my LeAnn’s acting. I went into it with low expectations because every time I’ve seen a singer try to cross over into acting, I haven’t been too impressed (ie: Jessica Simpson). A lot of people speculated that LeAnn did such a good job because great chemistry with her co-star Eddie Cibrian (the same man she was rumored to be having an affair with). I did sense the chemistry between them, but I think she’d be a great actress no matter who her co-stars were.

Anyway, the movie was pretty cheesy- a typical Lifetime movie, but I have to admit, I’m a sucker for those movies and I enjoyed it! If you missed the flick, you can watch the entire movie online on Lifetime’s website.

Did you see Northern Lights? What did you think?

Random Thoughts About The ACM Awards


April 6th, 2009

  • Dierks Bentley should have performed - sad to see him still going virtually unoticed by the Academy.
  • Country music is lucky to have Toby Keith.  He is a tireless entertainer, phenominal songwriter and a very under-appreciated artist in this industry.
  • Montgomery Gentry simply rocks a crowd - they’re a very deserving duo and we hope to see them get the recognition they deserve with some awards in the near future!
  • Sad to see two of country music’s finest, Kenny Chesney & Keith Urban, get shut out of any awards.
  • It was great to see Jamey Johnson & Trace Adkins awarded for “In Color” & “You’re Gonna Miss This” - definitely well-deserved.
  • LeAnn Rimes almost lost it when accepting her Humanitarian award - we think it was due to the fact of recent tabloid attention and stress, and not because of the award itself.  And where was Dean?
  • Taylor Swift is about to embark on her first headlining tour, so we can’t help but think that if the Academy continues the fan-voting, she’ll win Entertainer of the Year next year.  What do you think of that?
  • Miranda Lambert gave a good performance - it was nice to see her without a guitar and working the stage - we’re not used to seeing that from her on an awards show as of late.  She also did NOT look impressed during the awards that she was nominated for - it was an obvious look of disappointment and disgust - and very honest!
  • Same with George Strait.  There were times when he did not look impressed at all - and it was quite humorous!
  • Rascal Flatts seems “over” the awards - perhaps they’ve won so many that the excitement and honor has worn off - or perhaps they were bored, and we don’t blame them!
  • Kenny Chesney is a class act - shaking hands and hugging each winner and telling Carrie that he was proud of her when she won Entertainer of the Year and even congratulating her mother - very classy.
  • Reba McEntire is a classic and is undoubtedly the queen of country music.
  • We were expecting some GREAT performances - but with the exception of Trace Adkins and perhaps a couple of others, the show was pretty boring.

What do you guys think?  What were some highlights and lowlights of the show for you?
