Because I don’t want to spend an hour doing an epic recap of this whole sordid business, I’m just going to hit the highlights. Back in March, Eddie Cibrian (married to Brandi Glanville) was caught having an affair with LeAnn Rimes (married to Dean Sheremet). All B-list hell broke loose, words were spoken, things were denied and confirmed. LeAnn and Eddie were caught out several times in the following months, and Cibrian had yet another mistress come out to the press – and she had the pictures to prove her story. So, basically, in the face of two public affairs, Brandi left Eddie. Then, just a few weeks later, LeAnn Rimes left Dean. Will Eddie and LeAnn go and live happily ever after? Unknown.
Entertainment Tonight has Eddie Cibrian’s first post-separation interview, and he still sounds like a douchebag to me. Here’s what I didn’t realize though: Eddie is kind of femme. He has a slightly effete quality and speaking voice that I’ve never really noticed. It doesn’t really mean anything, it’s just that I only noticed it today. Most of the interview is about his new role on CSI: Miami, which sounds really boring. Granted, I don’t watch any of the CSI shows, but I want to believe that Eddie’s karmic womanizing punishment is working with fellow douchebag David Caruso. ET has the interview up on their site, but here’s the one question that’s about the whole drama:
ET: What do you think about what people are saying about you?
EC: “The truth is I don’t really know … how people perceive me… What I do know is when you reach a certain point in your career you’re placed in this unfair fishbowl. Things unfortunately get magnified and a lot of time they get devoid of [unintelligible]. We are all human, we are all not perfect. But the fact is I love my family dearly, and I’m a great father. It just saddens me that this is hurtful and being played out publicly. That‘s all.”

I don’t really get it. But “unfair fishbowl” is now my new favorite ridiculous celebrity quote. Life is an unfair fishbowl. Work is an unfair fishbowl. Love is an unfair fishbowl. Here’s the catch – if Eddie had kept it in his pants, no one would know or care who he was. It’s the unfair fishbowl of the zipper problem.
You’re my unfair fishbowl, Kaiser.
I’m so sorry, Jaybird. I will try to be less of an unfair fishbowl in the future. *sob* 🙁
Damn, I was hoping to turn that into the new smack talk, but instead I crushed your psyche.
I’m not giving up!
Your mama is an unfair fishbowl!
J- Don’t talk ’bout my mama’s unfair fishbowl, bitch!
Eh… I’m no good at smacktalk. I was trying to come up with something about yo’ daddy and fishbowls, but I couldn’t work it out. So I’ll just take the politician’s way out: “Today we are all unfair fishbowls.”
Nothing like an “unfair fishbowl” of an affair to get you back into the press and out of oblivion.
Way to go Eddie!!!
P.S. I hope I used “unfair fishbowl” in the correct context 🙁 …LMAO
Personally, I preferred the “we are all not perfect” comment. And obviously, we are all not understanding the basic rules of grammar.
Eddie is definitely the exact image of his alter ego on Third Watch..Jimmy Doherty. If I didn’t know any better, I would swear he IS Jimmy Doherty. He was a skank in Third Watch, and now he gets to be a skank in real life! I feel for his (soon-to-be) ex-wife. I really hope that SL%T, LeAnn can be very proud of herself. Remember, LeAnn, if they do it FOR you, they’ll do it TO you! And you’ll deserve nothing less. LMAOROF!
Whaa, whaa, whaa. And why do you suppose that he consders himself a “great father.” Is it the examples of honesty and respect for his children’s mother to which he is referring? Or the taking of accountability in this situation? Or MAYBE he is one of those guys who considers his fathering “great” because he takes the kids to the park occasionally and they love him and have fun with him. Because that’s really special. No one else does that. He’s GREAT.
JayBird and Kaiser-the two of you amuse me to no end. Always. thank you very much, now excuse me while I get back to my “unfair fishbowl” of a job.
Unfair fishbowl…Ugh. This sounds like something Kate Gosselin would say.
Oh, and speaking of Leann Rimes, I didn’t know she wrote childrens’ books. Stumbled across one recently. The illustrator was none other than her husband, Dean.
If he’s been working alongside her during their marriage, sister-boy is gonna get PAID.
Of all the people he could cheat with, he chose LeAnn Rhimes? She’s like a more lemon-y version of Rene Zellwegger. (Please don’t comment on my horrible spelling. Just send me a dictionary this Christmas.)
When I was a kid I had a goldfish whose bowl I only cleaned once a season, max. THAT was the most unfair fishbowl. Eddie Cibrian has no idea.
Unfair Fishbowl? Isn’t that a drink at TGI Friday’s?
…yeah, but at least on that bike he LOOKS butch!
That Eddie rides a Harley and wears a beany helmet says it all.
The Cibrian dictionary:
“I love my family dearly” really means:
I disrespect my wife
I have at least two affairs and allow pictures to be taken of my mistress in a bikini laying all over me (great for your sons to see).
I have public make out sessions with my next mistress who notifies the paps of our whereabouts so the Mrs. finds out.
I lie to my wife and tell her my mistress is stalking me and make her look like a fool when she gets angry.
I refuse to move out of the family home.
“I am a great father” means:
I teach my sons to lie
I cause pain and take no responsibility
I break up my family for Leann Rimes????
I let a has-been singer use me for publicity
I teach my sons to sell your souls for sex
Yep, look in the mirror Mr. Cibrian and tell the world what you see.
Leannes crotch is an unfair fish bowl and Eddies peener is a dead guppie 🙂
JJ couldn’t have said it better. I have a feeling this whole fiasco is going to blow up in his and Leann’s faces even more. I hope Brandi has a shark in stilleto’s for a lawyer. Hopefully Eddie keeps talking he looks and sounds like a tool. Fishbowl indeed. Wait until they go out in public, the tabs will have even more of a field day. Wait until they start asking about his sons and if he’s being a good father…
Didn’t these lowlifes meet o the set of a Nora Roberts Lifetime movie? How cliche can you get?
What’s up with the unfair fishbowl comment – is he like Nemo or something?
How can he be a good father when he spends most of the time chasing other woman. Get back in your hole Eddie and stay there. Good fathers don’t disrespect the mother of his children
Oh please, a man can be a good father to kis kids and still be a cheater. There is and was something wrong with the marriage in the first place and he has cheated before Leeann..Leeanne didnt steal Eddie, his wife doesnt own him, she married him but that was her mistake because he was a cheater before she married him but went for the $$$ anyway..you cannot change a maleho..Leeanne on the orther hand is naive and thought she had a future together with him and she never had cheated on her gay husband before..
