Somehow in between tweeting all those pics of herself on the beach, LeAnn Rimes found the time to make a brand new album!  It’s called “Lady and Getlemen,” and the concept is that she’s singing a bunch of classic country songs made famous by men.  For as much as I tease about her on the air, I’ve got to say she sounds fantastic singing these songs, like “16 Tons,” “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” and “When I call Your Name.”  To hear some bits and pieces,  click here.

Why?  Because she looks a little tipsy, that’s why.  It was her birthday, and while she could have been sipping on sweet tea, it looks like she was celebrating with a little of the hard stuff.  There’s really nothing more to this story than that.  But do you ever wonder why there’s always a camera taking up-close pictures of LeAnn whenever she shows up anywhere in a bikini?  Some say it’s because she calls the photogs and tips them off.  Others just say she’s happy to pose, which not all celebs are.  At any rate, I think I’m more familiar with LeAnn’s bod than my own at this point.

If you do, here’s more info:  It’s a stencil she just got on her rib cage that she may or may not get put on permanently.  And it’s a quote from the vows that Eddie Cibrian read at their wedding:  ”You gave me the courage to be truthful.  I promise to give you the comfort to be trustful.”  (Yes, trustful is a word, we looked it up.)  I’m thinking LeAnn must not watch Kat Von D’s show LA Ink, because she doesn’t think she’s jinxing anything by getting a love tat for her man.  But anyway, now you know.

So if people started telling you all the time that you were too skinny, what would you do?  I would rejoice and then immediately start a Burgerville shake and burger diet.  If you’re LeAnn Rimes, then what you do is tweet dozens of  pics of yourself in bikinis to try and show people that you’re healthy after all (she also sends about 5 tweets a day about what she’s eating).  So now she’s taking it a step further and sharing her fitness regimen in a new exercise video that will be released on her blog sometime next month.  She and her trainer will go through the routine of lunges, boxing and whatnot that keeps her fit.  And to be fair, she is starting to look a little healthier these days.  In the most recent bikini shots (she tweeted three over the holiday weekend) she looks a bit more curvy, which is a good thing.

*Warning:  Story not kid-friendly!

“The Star” is reporting that there is a naughty LeAnn Rimes tape floating around that was made by her ex-hub Dean Sheremet when they were still together.  I know, you have questions:  Q.  Why is Amy reporting what “The Star” writes when they usually make up most of their stories?  A.  Because Dean is actually quoted in the story, saying it’s possible that something like that could exist.  Q.  Who released this tape, you ask?  A.  Supposedly, it was stolen from a “moving truck.”  Hmmm….sounds fishy.  And finally, Q.  What does LeAnn have to say about it?  A.  Well, she vehemently denies that it could exist.  Her spokesperson says that she has “never filmed a video having sex.”  That could be true, but the wording reminds me a little bit of Bill Clinton back in his denial days.  The tape is reported to be explicit, but not necessarily of “the deed” itself.  And by the way, if you’re a kid who ignored my warning and is reading this anyway, by “the deed” I mean the deed to her house.  Kids should just not be thinking about this kind of stuff.

Here’s the first official pic of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s wedding:

LeAnn looks lovely in a handmade Reem Acra gown, and though you can’t see it in the photo, she wore a $250,000 antique pin to close up the gown (That’s so weird!  I wore a $250,000 pin to my wedding, too!  Or maybe it was $25, I can’t remember.)  According to friends who attended, the newlyweds’ speeches went a little something like this:  Eddie:  “Someone loves the f****** microphone and that’s me! We’ve both had much larger weddings before, about 100-150 people both, but we just wanted our closest of friends and family here with us tonight. The next one will be ever smaller though.”  Then LeAnn joined in with “”I love you all…Now let’s have some cake, bitches!”

We heard rumors the wedding would happen this past Saturday, and the rumors were off by one day.  LeAnn Rimes became Mrs. Eddie Cibrian on Friday night in a surprise ceremony in front of 40 people who were told they were just getting together to celebrate the engagement.  No pictures yet, as they will no doubt go to the highest bidder (ever wonder how these celebs pay for these fancy weddings?  That’s how).  LeAnn kept up the tweets throughout, and let everyone know that everything went perfectly.  She did make one little mistake in her tweets, talking about how it was her “first Easter as a WIFE!”  So what about those 8 years of Easters with her former hubby Dean?  Ooops!  She tweeted a little later clarifying that it was her first Easter as “Mrs. Cibrian.”  She also changed her name to LeAnn Rimes Cibrian on Twitter and added “wife” to her description.  So it’s official in the twitterverse, too.

If you believe “InTouch” magazine, LeAnn Rimes and her fiance Eddie Cibrian will be getting married this weekend in LA. They say 100 guests will attend, including Eddie’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, and their kids. Meanwhile, LeAnn says she feels like there’s a bit of a double standard when it comes to cheatin’. Her point is that when famous men do it, we brush it off faster, but with women we are slower to forgive. She gives Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash as examples. “They could write a song about it, it’d be huge, and they’d move on.” While this is kind of true, I have to say, that was a long time ago. So what about in modern times, ie the rumors about Garth and Trisha’s relationship before he got divorced? Well I say, if someone caught them on video tape, making out with each other while they were still married to other people, that would have been a pretty big deal. But maybe we would forgive him faster….hmm…worth thinking about, I guess!

Some celebs like to take the high road when rumors arise about them.  LeAnn Rimes is not one of those celebrities.  I’ve noticed that LeAnn likes to tweet (24 in just the past hour, about 100 in the last 24 hours), and in those tweets, she usually confronts whatever rumor is curently swirling around her.  Lately there are two:  That she’s too thin, and that she and Eddie are going to do a reality show together.  After these pics circulated of her looking dramatically thinner…

…she tweeted a bunch of comments, like, “I am completely healthy!  If people only knew how much I ate.”  She then tweeted a photo of her breakfast, and then a photo of the empty plate.  She joked that maybe it was time to tweet a nude pic so people could see how she really looks.  And then she tweeted about 25 more times about how she plans to ignore the rumors. 

Then as for the reality show, LeAnn was pretty clear:  “I don’t know how many times I have to say Eddie and I would never do a reality show about our lives,” she tweeted.  US Weekly is saying that these denials are proof that she really IS going to do that show, but just can’t talk about it yet.  Confused?  Me, too.  Starting not to care so much?  Yeah, me too.

An engagement ring, and…..um….well just look at this picture:

and then check out this pic from 6 months ago:

I’ve done the homework for you, checking many photos from many angles, and I’m quite sure there was some surgery in the past few weeks.  The rest of her body has stayed very thin, but the top half has become bigger in all the right places.  So there.  Now you know.
