Last week, it was reported that LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian were thinking about doing a reality tv show. I presume the news was met with a resounding “meh” worldwide. However, THIS gossip geek was totally amped because the LeAnn-Eddie-Brandi is my FAVORITE love triangle of all time and definitely one of my top 10 gossip stories to follow. You’re thinking poor gossip taste on my part, right? Maybe you just aren’t looking at it the right way: this story represents everything I loved about high school gossip – and the people are prettier! And rich (kinda?)! With access to (and prone to overuse of) social media! What could be better?
First, the origins: the fact that LeAnn and Eddie got caught on CAMERA hitting the hourly hotel (or restaurant, same thing) is a gossip diamond in the rough. Basically every other somewhat intelligent celebrity keeps their dirty dealings on lockdown and we’ll never know. A voyeur’s dream.
Second, LeAnn STILL HASN’T LEARNED to keep her shit together, and we usually don’t have the benefit of seeing a celebrity’s low self esteem in such stark relief. She reminds me of the girl who was kinda busted through sophomore year, and suddenly developed over the summer and got her braces off or whatever and pulled the hottest senior guy. Now all the popular girls hate her but she CAN’T STOP TRYING/CARING/UGLY DUCKLING’ING. LeAnn – you’d be so much cooler without all of the TRY. You’re super hot now and you won the “prize,” so just chill. Please.
Awkward phase.
On a related note, she doesn’t realize that the hottest guy in school is actually kind of a dumb loser with no prospects who is definitely, definitely going to cheat on her with the next summer-camp makeover recipient. Highschool girl fight over garbage! Love it.
He’s probably staring at a nineteen year old in a bikini.
