Let’s play a game. It’s called ‘name some LeAnn Rimes songs’. How Do I Live Without You. Lovesick Blues. Leaving’s Not Leaving.
I’m Standing Outside Your Bedroom Window With A Knife, A Length Of Rubber Tubing And A Pair Of Your Underpants Held Up To My Mouth And Nose. That last one was a B-side, we think.
The point is, most of LeAnn Rimes’ songs make her sound like a stalker. Which she is, claims the wife of Eddie Cibrian, the co-star she was apparently having an affair with recently – but somewhat inevitably LeAnn Rimes is having none of it.
Celebrities often get their fair share of unwanted attention from fans who appreciate their work so much that they repeatedly try to run down their husbands or attempt to send them a big box of fluid-spattered dildos. But it’s rare for the celebrities themselves to get accused of stalking somebody less famous than them.
No, we take that back. It’s impossible for celebrities to be accused of stalking somebody less famous than them. And, yes, LeAnn Rimes may have just been accused of doing that exact thing, but our rule still stands on the basis that a) LeAnn Rimes isn’t really famous any more and b) if you’re less famous than LeAnn Rimes, that technically means you’re vapour or soot or something, and who’d want to stalk that?
Anyway, regardless of how famous she is, you may remember that LeAnn Rimes was recently accused of cheating on her husband with Eddie Cibrian, her co-star in some awful TV movie that may as well not have had a title for the sparse amount of people who could actually bring themselves to care about it. That claim was seemingly backed up by a video of LeAnn Rimes sucking Eddie Cibrian’s fingers in a restaurant. And then everything went quiet.
Now, that might possibly be because everyone who remembers either LeAnn Rimes or Eddie Cibrian has died of either old age or neglect. But that doesn’t matter, because it’s all back on again – Eddie Cibrian’s wife accused LeAnn Rimes of “stalking” him in a recent US Weekly interview. And now it’s time for LeAnn Rimes to hit back at the claims, as People reports:
“These comments are incredibly defamatory,” a spokesperson for Rimes tells PEOPLE. “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.”
It’s heartening to see LeAnn Rimes take the dignified high ground and decide not to have this out in public. Besides, if LeAnn Rimes starts talking to the media at every opportunity, who’s going to root through Eddie Cibrian’s bins searching for things that smell a bit like him? His wife? Hardly.
Oh, we’re just joking. For all we know LeAnn Rimes isn’t stalking anybody. That’s partly because we wouldn’t be able to pick LeAnn Rimes out of an identity parade even if she was wearing a T-shirt with “I’M LEANN RIMES” written on it and everyone else in the identity parade was a goose, but whatever.

ithink it is eddie cibrian’s wife that wants the attention. Its just away to keep them in the media and get exposure for her husband so he can actually get a job.
