Married country singer LeAnn Rimes has stirred up quite the controversy for herself. Yesterday US Weekly came out with a cover story in which they detailed video evidence that she’s having an affair with married actor Eddie Cibrian. The two costarred in a Lifetime movie together. Now US has released the video, in which the pair are clearly on a date.

Us Weekly has the exclusive video of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian kissing, holding hands — and even sucking on each other’s fingers during a March 7 date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California.

Twenty-two seconds into the clip, Cibrian arrives at the restaurant and they walk in hand-in-hand. Then they’re seated — as seen in the center left of the frame — and proceed to hold hands (36 seconds) and kiss (1:47). At the 2:10 mark, Rimes suggestively sucks on Cibrian’s finger. They leave together shortly after.

Us Weekly has seen the $95 receipt for the dinner, as paid for by Cibrian on his credit card and signed by him. The newest issue also shows photos of Cibrian and Rimes meeting up for a three-hour tryst March 14 at the Malibu Beach Inn — where the blinds were closed and a do not disturb sign was placed on the door. Cibrian was not wearing his wedding ring.

All the while, Cibrian’s pickup truck sat in the parking lot with a visible child’s car seat in the back.

US has been doing some hardcore investigative work. I wonder who tipped them off to the affair in the first place? Rimes has been vague in her response to the allegations, while Cibrian has denied them.

The stars of Northern Lights are not fusing together. So says Eddie Cibrian, who costars with LeAnn Rimes in the upcoming Lifetime movie and who awoke Wednesday to find himself the subject of a scintillating Us Weekly cover alleging an extramarital affair between the two.

“Other than being friends and two actors who were romantically intertwined in a movie-for-television we filmed last fall, there is no truth to the reporting initiated by Us Magazine,” the 35-year-old married father of two said in a statement obtained by E! News. “It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.”

Cibrian’s denial follows Rimes’ morning post to her website, in which the country-pop songbird lamented this “difficult time” in her life. “I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white,” she wrote.

But while Cibrian has dismissed the pictures published in Us of what are said to be Rimes and Cibrian on a date, an employee from Mosun in Laguna Beach, Calif., tells E! News that on the night in question, the two were “quite clearly on a date… They came in holding hands, and they left holding hands,” the source said. “It was not a ‘friendly’ situation.”

“They were kissing over the table, holding each other’s hands across the table, kissing each other’s hands, touching each other’s faces,” the source said. There’s also surveillance video of the duo eating dinner, and “there’s no question of who it was,” the source concluded.

It seems like there’s nearly irrefutable evidence of an affair. At some point it’s better to just come clean. It’s been rumored that LeAnn’s husband, Dean Sheremet (who is one of her former backup dancers) is gay. LeAnn has never addressed the issue, but I can’t help but wonder if she’s hinting at something along those lines when she says “not everything in our lives is always black and white.” It’s safe to say we’ll hear some type of more official response from Rimes in the next few days.
