Instead of shutting up about her whole messy cheating/divorce debacle, LeAnn Rimes continues to seek attention by explaining why she’s a husband-stealing tramp. Us Magazine says,

It’s been over two years since Us Weekly first broke news of LeAnn Rimes’ extramarital affair with Eddie Cibrian — eighty-sixing both of their marriages — and the country singer, 28, isn’t afraid to own up to her mistakes.

“I know I didn’t do it the right way,” Rimes says of falling for her Northern Lights costar in “Backstory: LeAnn Rimes,” a new special airing Sunday on the Great American Country channel.

“I didn’t have the tools to know how to do it the right way, how to let go the right way. I’d never been taught that,” she says of cheating on then-husband Dean Sheremet with Cibrian, who was then wed to Brandi Glanville, mother to his two sons. (She and Cibrian, 37, are now engaged; Sheremet is also engaged to girlfriend Sarah Silver.)

“I have the strength [now] but I didn’t at the time… So, it got really messy, but I have learned a lot from that. And I’m not glad it happened, but I know why it did.”

She adds: “[Country music] has such a double standard. You know, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash and all these guys. God knows what they did back in the day? And if a woman did it, you never were accepted or forgiven. But if it was a guy, it was just their life… It’s quite interesting to have to navigate those waters as a woman in this business.”

God I hate that touchy-feely crap about not having the “tools” to know how to end your marriage. It’s called “taking a backhoe to your husband’s Harley that he loves waaaay more than you”. If your husband isn’t demanding a divorce after you do that, then I don’t know what would.

Looking like a Pekingese in need of a grooming:

Leann Rimes posted a picture of herself in a bikini on her Twitter yesterday (above, right) in an attempt to convince you that she’s not suffering from an eating disorder (above, left). And then to prove just how not eating-disorder-stricken she is, she repeatedly talked about how much she loved cookies(!) and pizza(!) and for good measure added that she didn’t have an eating disorder like seven more times. From her Twitter:

LOVE Thin Mint Cookies! I never know where to buy GS Cookies, so I’m always elated when someone I know has them! Love Thin Mints frozen!”

@lindseyg696 you don’t know me, you have NO idea what I weigh or eat, so why should you have any opinion about my weight?

@lindseyg696 I own that I am healthy and take dang goof care of my body, that’s what I own.

@KarlaHoffman last time we ordered pizza for the boys at our house you were there and I didn’t pass it up. You’ve witnessed it!

@sheilalambert11 I have no eating disorder and I’m healthy

@sweetness509 obviously! I’m not promoting anything BUT health. I workout 3-4 times a week and eat a healthy diet and treat myself.

@amejean @karlahoffman opinion should be based off of facts! There are no facts here other than yes, obviously I’ve lost weight, but I’m not unhealthy, I eat and take care of my body. I went through a divorce and couldn’t get out of bed for days for two years! I’m happy, healthy, joyful and active and work my butt off. That’s life, things change up and down. Real concern comes from people that know me and love me, not a stranger. From a stranger it’s called judgement and not needed. DONE.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Me also thinks nobody really giveth a shit either way. ‘Tis Leann Rimes. The only reason I even posteth these tweets was to misquoteth Hamlet and talketh like an 18th century bard.

Now that  LeAnn Rimes is newly engaged to Eddie Cibrian just this past Christmas, the rumors are flying that she’s also knocked up. She’s of course denying it. Says Digital Spy,

LeAnn Rimes has denied rumors that she is pregnant with fiancé Eddie Cibrian.

Rimes – who recently announced her engagement to the actor – took to Twitter to shoot down a story originally reported by Hollybaby which said that the singer was expecting her first child.

Rimes wrote: “this is such BS!!!! Lol, you people all report BS (sic).”

The 28-year-old appeared to reinforce her denial by posting details of her indulgent holiday plans shortly after. She added: “Cabo!!!!! Sun, bikinis, friends, food, tequila…celebration!!!! Gonna be the best trip!!”

So it’s just like that time when there were rumors that you were cheating, but you got all huffy and offended and you denied it, and then it turned out to be true and you’re just a pug-nosed liar-dog? Yeah. I thought so.

Walking in Calabasas:

I’m glad Leann Rimes took to her Twitter yesterday to remind us the most important part of the word “holiday”: the letters H and O.

In news that nobody’s sure to care about, former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey and his longtime girlfriend are getting married. You can almost hear Jessica Simpson’s muffled sobs through the mouthfuls of biscuits and gravy. Radar Online says:

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, who briefly split last summer, are now engaged!

“We’re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together,” the couple [said in a statement].

And in news you’ll care even less about, that one squinty-eyed country singer who cheated on her gay husband is marrying that guy she fucked while he was still married to somebody else. Vive l’amour! Radar Online adds:

Boyfriend Eddie Cibrian will now call [LeAnn Rimes] his fiancée.

Cibrian got down on bended knee recently, E! Online is reporting.

Their engagement news comes shortly after Rimes did an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts to discuss the cheating scandal surrounding involving her ex-husband Dean Sheremet and current beau Cibrian.

Why would you buy the cow when you already get the milk for free? Especially if somebody else had already bought the cow first and it wouldn’t give them any milk, but practically hosed down the next thing with a penis that came within twenty feet of the big fake udders they’d bought and paid for while they owned it. I’d say the only reason to invest in that cow is for the choice cuts and shoe leather.

LeAnn Rimes is unattractive and hasn’t had a hit in nearly ten years, so I understand why people were angry about Shape magazine’s decision to put her on their October cover. But oddly enough, her squinty eyes and lack of breasts weren’t the source of the readership’s outrage — it was her home-wrecking whoring ways. And Shape, for one, agrees they made a mistake. Us Magazine says:

Shape editor-in-chief Valerie Latona apologized to readers who felt that Rimes was a poor cover choice.

“Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover,” Latona explained. “Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal-but to show how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.”

[But] Latona acknowledges that “it did not come across that way… and for that I’m terribly sorry. I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance.”

Being called “terrible mistake” isn’t really that insulting. I mean, whose mother hasn’t called them a “terrible mistake” on more than one occasion? Or hit them with a curling iron? Or locked them in a broom closet and forgot they were there until the school called to ask where I had been for the last four days? Sticks and stones, Shape magazine. Words can never hurt me!

The 2010 Country Music Awards were last night, and I’m not even gonna pretend like I watched them or even knew they were on in the first place, because I think we’re at a point in our relationship where we don’t have to put on airs for each other anymore. Not that it wouldn’t kill you to close the bathroom door once in a fucking while, but that’s a conversation for another day. I just don’t have the energy to get into that this morning.

Anyway, Carrie Underwood became the first woman to win country music Entertainer of the Year two years in a row last night blah blah blah yee-haw. MSNBC says

Underwood won the show’s top honor last year. This year, she beat out Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, the Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, George Strait and Keith Urban.

Top-selling trio Lady Antebellum were the dominant winners, grabbing five trophies, including song and single record of the year for crossover hit “Need You Now,” while also snapping Rascal Flatts’ seven-year run as best vocal group.

I bet you never noticed, but the letters in “Lady Antebellum” can be rearranged to spell “dumb anal telly” and “yell lube and ATM.” I don’t know what kind of foul butthole fetishes these so-called “country singers” are covertly promoting, but I, for one, will not stand for it. Mostly because then my anus would be exposed, and I can’t take that kind of chance again. Not after what happened at the Grammys.

Lots more pics from the red carpet after the jump.

Before he became the poster child for deviancy, Tiger Woods once dated country singer LeAnn Rimes. Us Magazine says

Woods, now 34, and Rimes, 27, “went out a few times” before she wed soon-to-be ex-husband Dean Sheremet in 2002.

“They hooked up and everything,” the source [says]. “Tiger was really into her. He likes those blondes!”

Alas, Rimes’ dad protested. “Her dad almost had a heart attack,” the source adds. “And he made her stop seeing Tiger.”

Interestingly, both Woods and Rimes went on to have affairs during their marriages. Rimes had an on-set tryst with Eddie Cibrian while shooting the 2009 Lifetime movie Northern Lights.

So LeAnn went from dating a black dude to marrying a gay man to cheating on her gay husband with a married man. That’s what we in the Bible Belt refer to as “Satan’s Hat Trick.”

Eddie Cibrian’s wife Brandi Glanville has left him after discovering he had been meeting with former mistress LeAnn Rimes on the sly at a friend’s house. According to Us Magazine

“Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart,” says Glanville, 36. “I want to do what is best for our children [Mason, 6, and Jake, 2]. Eddie and LeAnn [Rimes] deserve each other.”

The final straw came after Cibrian and Rimes, 26, were caught again together in the early afternoon of July 17 — four months after the news of their affair [first broke] — outside the Malibu home of Jeff Berger, a longtime friend of the singer. (News of Cibrian having another affair — with 24-year-old model Scheana Marie Jancan — also broke earlier this same month.)

Sources tell us that Rimes’ pal Berger has been facilitating similar meetings at his home for about a month and that Rimes and Cibrian also made use of a rental house on L.A.’s west side.

How do you expect a man to say no to a rack like LeAnn’s? At least not without looking down or sideways, anyway? The trajectory of those nipples would make it damn near impossible. I doubt he even had a choice in the matter.

LeAnn in L.A.:

I’m sure you woke up this morning with several unanswered questions churning inside your head — “What day is it?” “Where am I?” “Is that pee?” and “Who won the American Country Music Awards 2009 Entertainer of the Year?” Well, worry no more, my friends. All the answers you need are right here. People Magazine says

Carrie Underwood became the first woman since 2001 to be named ACM entertainer of the year – and only the seventh female to win the Academy of Country Music’s top honor since it was first handed out in 1970.

Underwood also took home the award for top female vocalist, a repeat of last year’s win.
