LeAnn Rimes joins the PTA for Eddie’s son: is that appropriate?

Is it appropriate for a man’s girlfriend to join the Parent-Teacher Association if she has no legal connection to the dude’s children? That’s the question to ponder. Would it make a difference if it was LeAnn Rimes who joined the PTA, because she wanted to support Eddie’s son Mason? Yes, Mason and Eddie’s other son Jake both live with LeAnn half of the time, because Eddie and LeAnn live together now. So LeAnn is part of their lives, and she’s there to act as a step-mother. But the PTA? When she’s not officially a step-mother? Is this just another way for LeAnn to Hand That Rocks The Cradle Brandi Glanville?

She’s not a mom – or even a step mom – yet, but that hasn’t stopped LeAnn Rimes from joining the Parent-Teacher-Association. She and Eddie Cibrian aren’t married, but LeAnn has gotten very close to Eddie’s sons, Mason and Jake.

She’s so involved in their lives that she recently joined the PTA at Mason’s school.

“LeAnn loves those kids like they’re her own sons,” a friend explained. “She wanted to get involved in Mason’s school. Of course, Eddie thinks it’s a great idea, and he’s very happy about it.”

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Since I know I’m going to be yelled at, let me say again: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a dude’s girlfriend loving his kids, and embracing his kids as her own. I think that aspect of it is nice, and obviously, LeAnn does give the image of a loving and doting sort-of step-mother. BUT – LeAnn is psychotic and hyper-narcissistic. And she often steps WAY over the line of propriety and decency regarding those kids, and there have been many occasions where she‘s flat-out disrespectful to Mason and Jake‘s mother, who is very much part of their lives. LeAnn refers to them as HER boys, and she makes judgment calls about their well-being that are inappropriate – remember how one of the boys had to go to the emergency room and LeAnn didn’t even bother to inform Brandi, yet LeAnn somehow had time to tweet about it?

By the way, I’m expecting LeAnn and Eddie’s engagement announcement any day now. I’d be surprised if we didn’t hear anything by New Year’s.

    I think it’s a little less appropriate when you’re the reason that marriage broke up. I mean it’s one thing if the guy had been divorced from his wife for a while and you as the girlfriend come into the picture with a clean slate but come on, when you’re the bitch the guy cheated on his wife with, maybe you should have some common decency and be all mother dearest to her children.

  2. Brit says:

    Apart from being a home-wrecker I don’t think Leanne is completely evil to the point where she is unsafe around kids.

    Speaking of skanks has Celebitchy posted the DListe blind item about Chelsea Handler having herpes ?! LOL!

  3. lisa says:

    Joining the PTA is not a big deal. In my city you just give a donation of $5.00 and BAM you are a PTA member. Not sure how it works in other places. I am a PTA member at several schools. Lots of nieces and nephews. So nothing serious. And anyone can join the school’s PTA whether you are family or not. But like I said not sure how it works in other parts the US.

    It just means she may be volunteering to help the kids at the school.

  4. lucy2 says:

    She is not their parent or their teacher, so she does not belong on the PTA. This chick wouldn’t know appropriate behavior if it smacked her across the face.

  5. Vicki says:

    Speaking as a former PTO president, and going by our bylaws, if she pays a $1 she can join and be a voting member. You don’t have to be a parent, relative or even legal guardian as long as you know the kid and want to help out. But that’s a PTO, which is different from the PTA.

    As for whether or not it’s appropriate in this case? I’d say no.

  6. brin says:

    Everything she does is inappropriate, so this isn’t any different.

  7. theoriginalsisterkitty says:

    Yuck….

  8. Dee says:

    Not at all okay! They have a fully functioning, involved mom. She should not tread on her turf.

    She sees them and wants to have a good relationship and that’s great. But that would include showing respect for their mother and respecting her role.

  9. rkintn says:

    I can’t wait til Brandi has had enough and kicks LeAnn’s ass. You don’t mess with a woman’s kids and not expect some bodily injury. Brandi should be nippin’ that shit in the bud cause LR’s behavior will only get worse if Brandi lets it continue.

  10. Shelley says:

    I believe BG said she hopes that EC and LR either get married or at least stay together as stability will benefit her sons. Joining the PTA isn’t a rabbit-in-the-pot move although I have to wonder why and by whom it’s being publicized as it’s such a not-big deal. As I’ve said 500 times, I hope these 3 supposed-adults will at least do all they can to make the boys feel safe and loved, and will all knock off the boozing as the #1 way to do so. Certainly BG can and should also join the PTA if doing so is a meaningful way to be involved with her sons. I confess I don’t have a clue as to the relevance of the PTAs anyway.

    As an aside, did LR really call them ‘her’ boys and so, please provide the link. I don’t know, maybe that’s not so weird that, after almost 2 years, as a term if affection you’d start saying things like ‘my little men’ and ‘my guys’ etc.

  11. eva says:

    At our school, when you purchase the school directory you automatically become a pta member. I could see where they would need the directory. I always buy several copies; one for home, another for work, and another for the car. You can’t do carpools without one 🙂

    That said, I bet she is bragging (or twittering) about joining. Otherwise why would a non-story like this make the news?

    And this had to be straight from LeAnn’s publicist “Eddie thinks it’s a great idea, and he’s very happy about it.” I don’t think my husband even knows we are pta members, and when he needs to call another parent for some school committee, he calls me to get the number. My guy had no idea of the ‘bible like’ importance of the school directory and would never be commenting that he is happy we are pta members. I kind of think Eddie would also be clueless, so I cant see him making comments like this.

  12. Bella Mosley says:

    I would guess, especially since she is tweeting it, she joined for reasons that are far from appropriate. A little, look at how wonderful I am, how good I am to the boys, and a lot to steal any thunder Brandi might have. As a celeb she figures she will sweep in and push Brandi to the backgroud. She prob assumes the moms will be starstuck. I’d like to think LR is wrong and the mom’s will take Brandi’s back and shut out LR.

  13. the original bellaluna says:

    What I find disturbing is that “anyone” can join the PTA/PTO. Hello, Chester the Molester. NOT a comforting thought to parents of small children!

  14. bagladey says:

    Inappropriate. LeAnn is not related to those boys as she’s not married to their father, and I’m sure Brandi Glanville attends her sons’ PTA meetings so when does LeAnn think it necessary and/or appropriate for her to also attend? This is one occasion when I could understand the ex- wanting to hire a hit man because if I was Brandi Glanville I would really resent Eddie Cibrian for bringing that inappropriate fame whore into the lives of me and my children and opening our private lives to the public, especially as LeAnn doesn’t stop the fame whoring. I don’t know how Brandi is able to put up with it.

  15. KatScorp says:

    Brandi’s tweet/reaction…

    “@leannrimes You may love my children (& yourself) a ton, but I am there mom, period. back the FUCK OFF. ”

    Hell. Yeah.

    Suddenly, LeAnn “Stalker” Rimes has stopped her endless tweeting and instead is trying to (again) draw her fans’ attention back to her saintly little crocodile-tears performance with the Gay Men’s Chorus of L.A. It’ll probably work too, but for now I’ll offer moral support to Ms Glanville, even if she sinned by using ‘there’ instead of ‘their’.

    Honestly people, whilst LeAnn may have garnered herself a PTA membership “innocently” with a donation (after having just successfully manipulated herself into the other mothers’ hearts by coddling with the boys’ classmates) I’m now fearing a little bit about LeAnn’s endgame. It looks like LeAnn is almost finished usurping Brandi’s entire existence.

  16. edith says:

    Leann is a psychotic nut case and needs some intervention and Lord knows Eddie won;t do it he needs his steady pay check and he wants to unwrap all those gifts Leann has gotten for him. Leann is convinced that the deeper she squirms into those kids lives and has Eddie dependeant on him , the less likely he will cheat on her Good luck with that

  17. cici says:

    i think she does things like this to confirm TO OTHERS how important she is to Eddie’s “clan.” it’s the same reason many people who shouldn’t be getting engaged get engaged – to prove TO OTHERS that their relationship is “real and mature.”

  18. tango says:

    Creepy. She’s basically implying that she wants to be just as involved in the boys school lives as their father and mother who are BOTH very much in the picture. It’s not like Brandi has abandoned her kids and Eddie is touring the world for months on end so LeAnn is the primary care taker.

    I think it points to LeAnns insecurity and jealousy. She already got Eddie so why not the boys next? That way maybe Brandi will disapear forever and she’ll have no competition from Brandi for Eddie again.

    The sad thing is, LeAnn is so desperate, if Eddie told her knock this parental interference crap off or I won’t marry you, she would. She’d do whatever Eddie told her to do rather than lose him. So why isn’t Eddie enforcing his and Brandi’s parental boundaries or telling LeAnn to tone down the overall craziness? Because he is using LeAnn and her behavior to get back at his wife. Or he sees nothing wrong with what she does which makes him just as crazy as LeAnn.

    Poor kids.

  19. KJ says:

    Wow-this is like borderline stalker creepy, like Hand that rocks the cradle creepy. IF this relationship lasts, she will one day have to explain to these boys how her and their dad got together, and that is a BIG if. Joining the PTA when she is the homewrecking (ahem) girlfriend???? COME ON!!!!!

  20. kim says:

    i cannot stand that girl…classless!

  21. KatScorp says:

    Bugger. I tried to edit my previous post but I’m an embarrassingly slow typist. Here’s the edit.

    …even though she used ‘there’ instead of ‘their’.

    Honestly people, whilst LeAnn may have garnered herself a PTA membership “innocently” with a donation (after having just successfully manipulated herself into the other mothers’ hearts by cuddling with the boys’ classmates) I’m now fearing a little bit about LeAnn’s endgame. It looks like LeAnn is almost finished usurping Brandi’s entire existence.

    I believe Brandi would have every right to feel threatened at this point; it appears that LeAnn has gotten what she wants every time. Obvious example is that she seduced the d-bag daddy (BTW, seduce and steal aren’t the same… hence why he is a douche) and wouldn’t back off when the mother was trying to keep her family together. For this behaviour, LeAnn was rewarded with 50% of the boys’ childhood… meaning that Brandi lost 50% of her sons’ childhood.

    Congratulations to you too, LeAnn. I got into plenty of fights on the old Rimestimes message-board because I freely posted when I thought you were being a selfish and self-centred liar. I recognised – even back in the old 90’s – that you were two-faced, calculating and manipulative. But you have exceeded even MY expectations of your Macheavellian cunning. I didn’t think that you could pull it off, but you did, you devious little wench! The “What I Cannot Change” farce, dragging Deane into the promotional tours, tipping the papparazzi off to force Eddie’s hand, openly enjoying the attention and mugging to the cameras, taunting the boys’ mother, lying to her fans CONSTANTLY (i.e. “don’t worry. She totally KNEW her youngest was in the ER but decided to go the the soccor game and hang around for an hour”), suddenly becoming “domestic!!!1!” just because with Deane gone and Eddie being lazy you had to learn how to cook… I’m in awe. You really are unbelievable. Thousands of twitter followers? Check. Fans still showing up at concerts, despite the cancelling crap you so often pull? Check. Seldom being called out for the pleasure you seem to take at SWFing the kids’ mother? Check. You won. God help me, but you really do seem to have won.

  22. Rita says:

    The key word here is “image” as a step mother. With LeAnn it’s always about trying to put forth an image to sell her music. Going to church (my God!), loving step mom, twitter angel with all the God Bless and I’ll pray for you, not to mention all the comments she planted in the tabs about she and Eddie being “So affectionate”, and “couldn’t keep their hands off each other”. It’s all image whitewash.

    Remeber, while LeAnn and Eddie were both married LeAnn asked the principle if she could sing at Mason’s school for the children.

    Yes Shelly, on several occasions LeAnn spoke publicly about the children as “my boys” in “my family”. This while Eddie and Brandi were still married.

    One last thing. Eddie proposed to Brandi on New Years day. Let’s see if Eddie and LeAnn make the same announcement. How sick is that?

  23. TeeTee says:

    Everything that this broad does is inappropriate, EVERYTHING..

    Its like she has no manners and no one ever told her about boundries.

    she is sickening.

  24. BReed says:

    LAR is so insecure she has to claim EVERY aspect of the ex-wife’s life. Pathtic.

  25. Joyce says:

    LeAnn Rimes is a pathetic creature. She is not a stepmom to those kids, she’s just daddy’s girlfriend/paramour. She consistently overstep boundaries that a sane person would not do. She is psychotic and narcissistic and a fame whore. She and Eddie Cibrian has so disrespected Brandi. Eddie the bought boyfriend is beyond being a decent human being. He is a douche bag and a jerk. He & LeAnn are going to reap everything they have sowed and when God gets tired of the the selfish & evil way they have treated Brandi He is going to send his wrath down and they will be punished for all they have done,(not by man, but by God). If I am judging, so be it. I’m speaking as I see it. Bad people will not continue to be rewarded for their bad behavior. So, if anyone want to attack me for what I have said, go right ahead, it wouldn’t matter to me at all. I believe what I belileve and you believe what you believe. We live in a free country and we’re entitled to our opinions ( mine, yours, theirs)

  26. Rita says:

    @Katscorp

    Excellent comments but you must take the longer term perspective. LeAnn’s latest song release is not doing as well as her previous release which sold almost nothing except for the hundreds of downloads by LeAnn Inc. (What do you think Eddie is doing while LeAnn tweets all day?).

    Without a top 40 song on the album, Curb records won’t release it in March as she promised (again). Without new music to show case, her tour performances will continue to be a joke until she won’t be able to sing at PTA functions.

    Eddie is not LeAnn’s major driving force in life. It’s the adolation of the crowd and when that is gone, this famewhoring narcasisst will make Lindsy Lohan look like Carrie Underwood.

    Also, never doubt for a minute that Eddie hasn’t been encouraging LeAnn to taunt Brandi every step of the way.

  27. louise says:

    Considering that LeAnn is practically a stepmom, I don’t think it’s weird. The boys live with her so she’s very much involved with their lives.

  28. brin says:

    @KatScorp….Good to see you posting again! I agree with you about Leann and her deviously sick ways (winner take all, ends justify means), but really, what has she won? Eddie is total scum and no matter what Leann does, she will never be the boys’ mother. Her music isn’t selling well and most people can’t stand her.

  29. nnn says:

    In a moral point of view, it’s unappropriate.

    Realistically it’s not and it’s more complex than that.

    If those kids are raised half of the time by Eddie and her, then it’s better that she indeed gets with the stepmum program than staying in the sideway.

    Those children already suffered the demise of their parents, they need stability and to get along (which they seem to do according some pictures) with both parents and their potential future mate in order to have a balanced and stable relationship in that re-composed family cell.

    Adults need to get over the bitterness , cattiness asap when children are involved. At the end of the day, children need their parents to be happy and feel the love of both wether they live under the same roof or not.

  30. bubbles says:

    I think that picture with the machine gun should be her business card.
    LAR- professional
    step-mother/homewrecker/future-PTA president or else…

  31. Shelley says:

    @KatsCorp, are you saying that really is a Tweet that BG posted ? Or are you joking? If that’s a direct quote then that’s as low-life as
    anything LR has done. These 3 seem quite frankly to all be cut from the same
    immature cloth and should, for the sake of the 2 little boys they all claim to love, step out of high school and stop all this sniping.

  32. brin says:

    @bubbles…lol…and her motto should be “I’ll take over and get the job done”.

  33. Rita says:

    @Shelley

    You seem to be wayyyyy behind on events. Brandi has to post such tweets because she can not call Eddie, LeAnn, or her children because E&L refuse to give her a phone number.

    Brandi, demanded and got a court approved mediator to meet with everyone and come to a resolution about LeAnn’s use of the children for publicity, being able to call her children, and other issues. Within 24 hours, LeAnn broke the agreement and Eddie refused to give Brandi his phone number as agreed to in the mediation.

    Brandi has made every effort to make peace but Eddie and LeAnn refuse so if you want to talk smack about “high school” mentality and the kid’s benefit, talk to LeAnn and Eddie. Brandi, is at her wits end trying to make this thing work.

  34. lachica says:

    Eddie must enjoy being possessed.

  35. charity says:

    Note to Leann scumbag Rimes — PTA stands for parent teacher association Its not MTA which stands for mistress teacher association Some one with half a brain please point that out to her and as for EC he really does like to hurt Brandi by using LR to do it He would never have left that marriage if Brandi hadn’t kicked him out for his multiple affairs Lr knows that and that is why she is so desperate to keep him. Edddie will never get over Brandi and LR knows it. poor pitiful piece of trash. Enjoy your Christmas Eddie and when you look in the mirrror do you see the face of Satan for continuing to hurt the MOTHER of your childrenI just bet that that’s what the LORD sees when he looks at you and LR

  36. LittleDeadGirl says:

    @KatScorp. I bow to your epic post of awesomness … for a moment I thought you called her a Machiavellian cunt not cunning -lol- and I totally thought that was a perfect name for her and the only thing I’ll be calling her in my head … she has earned the c word …

  37. Relli says:

    I cannot add anything katscorp didn’t already, well said! Personally I think all this hyper active I am the best mommy ever is because she is trying to convince cruddie to have a baby with her.

    This bitch I swear. She is going to look like such an asshole when this all blows up in her face.

  38. lucy2 says:

    If she were really doing it to be involved in the boys’ lives, that would be one thing, but I really suspect she does and says (and publicizes) all these things to a) piss off the ex-wife and b) try to change her bad image. Both make her childish and pathetic. If she really wants to be a good person in the kids lives, she would do things quietly and respect the relationship they have with their mother.

  39. guesty says:

    imho…leann is a complete bitch with absolutely no boundaries. can’t wait for him to cheat on her cuz he absolutely will.

  40. icantbelievethis says:

    OMG these people kill me, all of them. I don’t know what BG is thinking, but she needs to stop worrying about what she’s “lost” and just live her life as it is now. LR didn’t end her marriage, BG’s marriage ended b/c she married a douchebag and when you make a bad choice in a partner you end up paying a consequence for it. I know b/c I married a douchebag. I didn’t blame his girlfriend on the end of our marriage, I blamed my poor choice in men. And I was much, much more careful the 2nd time around. Had my ex stayed with that girlfriend and my son grown attached to her I would’ve learned to deal with it with a smile. I can’t hate anything my son loves.

    Is it tacky for LR to join PTA, yes, but it isn’t the worst thing in the world. I was taken away by the state b/c my stepdad beat the crap out of me regularly and then had to move in with my dad and stepmom (who also resented my existence and made it very clear I was unwanted).

    BG should look at what she does have, instead of what she doesn’t. She no longer is at a health risk b/c she’s sleeping with a man who is boning anything that walks (LR wasn’t the first person EC slept with). She may not have her boys 100% of the time, but they are healthy, happy and loved. I would rather have that than anything else. Her boys know who their mother is and that will never change. Nothing LR does is going to change how they feel about their mom. However kids pick up on anger and that isn’t healthy. Also BG shouldn’t be giving EC ammunition to use against her, that just isn’t a smart move. In the eyes of the courts those kids aren’t “hers” they are “theirs” and it makes her look bad when she goes on about them being “mine”.

    And no I’m not LR and I’m not defending her cheating.

  41. DGO says:

    LeAnn’s not anyone’s stepmother so what business does she have at a PTA meeting?

    Another point: LeAnn has tweeted about a drug for psorisias called Remicade. LeAnn has psoriasis, which makes me believe she’s probably using Remicade since she was spouting off about it like she was a doctor. Well, Remicade is a serious drug, and you can’t get pregnant while on it. So maybe LeAnn can’t have a baby of her own which is why she’s so clingy with Brandi’s kids. Just a thought.

  42. julie says:

    THEY ALL LIVE TOGETHER…SHE IS A BIG PART OF THERE LIFE AND THIS IS WHAT EDDIE WANTS…IT’S BEEN 2 YEARS ALREADY PEOPLE GET OVER IT

  43. skilo says:

    “In the eyes of the courts those kids aren’t “hers” they are “theirs” and it makes her look bad when she goes on about them being “mine”. ”

    That’s not ammunition for Eddie to use against her that is a statement of fact. It’s not like she told their father they were hers, not his she just told Leann they are her sons and they are. Brandi is their mother she gave birth to them and has raised them all their lives. There is nothing wrong with being a loving stepparent to a child,better that than a mean or resentful one, but don’t act like you’re their mother when you aren’t.

  44. Andria says:

    I do have a problem when girlfriends (or boyfriends) are over-involved with their other half’s kids. Children don’t need to form loving attachments to adults who are temporarily in their lives.

    If and when a couple decides they are in it for the long haul – THEN it is appropriate to be involved in the lives of the other person’s children.

  45. Mouse says:

    While it’s great that she’s taking an interest in the lives of those kids, it’s absolutely inappropriate to be going to PTA meetings and generally acting like their legal guardian. That’s way out of line. (Remember when Sienna Miller did this sort of thing by getting Sadie’s one kid a haircut? Except in her case, I really think it was a matter of not thinking, not that Sienna was really trying to be a bitch to Sadie.)

    LeAnn needs to learn humility. Leann, you’re not even legally their stepmother, you’re just the pathetic delusional girl their dad is living off of! I wonder, if in LeAnn’s little world, she really thinks she’s going to get custody of the kids at some point?

    I agree w/ #26-Rita = I’m willing to bet my next paycheck that Eddie fully manipulates LeAnn’s insanity and eggs her on to piss off Brandi. He’s as immature as LeAnn is and much more of a conniving douchebag.

  46. southerncheerleader says:

    LeAnne has NO shame — NONE.

    Where is the person who raised her?

    What was her mother like to raise such a person?

    She’s stealing/sole everything from this woman Brandi – now the PTA.

    Eddie is NOT A MAN, he’s just a wuss.
    Step up & be man, for once ….

    Mr. LeAnnie Rimshizz!!!

  47. Dreamyvelvet says:

    Not their step-mother. She’s just the lady their dad is schtupping. Leann has boundary issues.

  48. Po says:

    This is not Leanne, this is Eddie. There are two parents in this situation and Leanne is not one of them. Eddie needs to man up and look at how the decisions his girlfriend makes is going to affect the relationship he has with the mother of this children, and also how it will affect his children. What father wants the mother of his children to be uncomfortable going to a PTA meeting or event at the school. This would not be inappropriate if there were a good relationship between these ladies but there isn’t and that is Eddie’s fault. He was the husband and he didn’t keep it in his pants. Now he has to deal with the consequences and the those consequences include making sure there is a decent relationship between these two women, or at least as decent as there can be. He’s not doing that by allowing Leanne to tweet info about the kids and join the PTA. Leanne is who she is but Eddie is a father and he should do so much better by his kids.

  49. mimi says:

    I really have a lot of sympathy for Brandi for having to deal with this nut job being around her kids and in her face with these damn tweets all the time. Its one thing to go thru the whole divorce and how that went down but to have to deal with crap like this every other day is just ridiculous.
    I think its completely inappropriate for her to be in their PTA, it stands for PARENT-TEACHER ASSOC… not Psychotic, homewrecking, delusional, bat-shit crazy girlfriend -Teacher assoc.
    I still say karma will be around soon and Brandi (along with the rest of us)will have the last laugh.

  50. april says:

    icantbelieve this – I agree with you. Why can’t these people who blame everyone else look at themselves and see what part they played in it and move on gracefully. Grow up people.

  51. Kiska says:

    I’ve been in relationships with men who have young children. First of all, if a guy is worth his salt as a Father he will protect his kids and create boundaries within his family. Secondly, LeAnn is playing house and this includes the kids. In her insane mind, she feel ENTITLED to taking over the role of Mother to those kids. Eddie is the one who should kindly take that girl aside and tell her to step back. Clearly, neither of them are giving the children priority for their wellbeing. Brandi must feel entirely powerless over the situation. If LeAnn had any sense of decency she would back the f–k off.

  52. JenJen says:

    She’s fooling herself if she thinks even the gay men will buy her music,she’s too fugly and bitchy for them. She’s done. No one can be so cruel to another human being (Brandi)in the public eye and be forgiven. She’s evil.

  53. lmp says:

    how many members of the pta do you think are psychotic and hyper-narcissistic? many. as long as you’re raising the child or helping raise the child, whats the problem? i was in the pta for my little brother bc my parents don’t understand english – no biggie, children benefit, catty judgements do not.

  54. Josie says:

    Seriously, is this any surprise coming from Marge?

    And Ed…don’t get me started on how sick he is.

    You have to admit these two losers are truly perfect for each other. I feel bad for those two adorable young kids who have to be shuffled around like a hockey puck because of Marge and douche bag Ed.

    Hey Ed…how come you never tweet? Your money train is on it 24/7. What’s up with you?

    Start tweeting big man!! Let’s hear about how you lay around the house all day.

    O.K. Marge and ED…let’s go to church and celebrate how you two are so “BLESSED” you lying, cheating, hypocrites!!!

  55. shelia says:

    I can’t wait until Brandi gets her a boyfriend so he can join the PTA too!!!.
    That is what I would do. Tell my ex-husband that my new boyfriend has joined the PTA also.
    Also, Women are more sneaky then men so time will tell what the outcome will be when its Brandi’s turn.

    ‘Christmas is sad for me this year (again) and I wish people would know there places and not over step when it comes to MY children! MY MINE!’

    I remember one of the questions on the custody investigator’s paperwork was about fostering relationships with the other parent and other side of the family. One of the things my lawyer cautioned me against was ever using the term “MY” child. Instead always use ‘our’ child. The reality is that whatever LR does is happening when EC has custody of the kids and therefore is up to his discretion. Yes they are BG’s kids, but they are also EC’s kids and he has just as much right to decide what goes on when they are in his house (LR’s house).

    So while I understand her frustration, I also have experienced how things can be misconstrued and used against you. Sometimes it is simply better to internalize these things and take the high road.

    @sheila ‘That is what I would do. Tell my ex-husband that my new boyfriend has joined the PTA also.’

    Exactly! I would bite my tongue, bide my time and watch them implode.

  58. brin says:

    Eddie probably isn’t standing up to leann because she’s giving him a roof over his sorry ass. HE needs to be taking care of HIS kids, not leann.

  59. Hakura says:

    @KatScorp (#21)- ITA with you. She’s a lying, conniving, backstabbing, passive agressive, two-faced bitch.

    I really hope that what goes around, comes around. She’s essentially declaring war on these boys’ mother. Eddie is a spineless weasel who needs to steal LeAnn’s brass pair (As he’s obviously never going to grow his own).

    His allowing LeAnn to do this is reprehensible, regardless of his relationship with his ex. In any normal situation, a serious live-in girlfriend joining the PTA for her boyfriend’s children wouldn’t be *so* bad (although she should need the permission of both parents), but with LeAnn… It’s an obvious manipulative power play.

    This story would *never* have come to attention if LeAnn hadn’t gone out of her way to make sure it got out. It was both an obvious attempt to improve her image, and a public bitch-slap to Brandi.

  60. Carol says:

    You are a bunch of jealous women and act like this is the only couple that ever cheated. Eddie & LeAnn filmed that movie over two years ago. They are together and have been and you need to get over it! Sheesh…it’s Christmas time and you guys are all arguing about PTA! LOL Does Brandi work???? She should be thanking LeAnn because she is probably helping support those boys!!!!

  61. Shelley says:

    @PO – no, if these two ‘ladies’ can’t be in same
    room, behave civilly, and act in the best interests of these two little boys, that is not Eddie’s fault, it’s the fault of the ladies. If they cannot act like adults, then shame on them, as the boys will pay the price for their idiotic immaturity.

  62. jen says:

    As they say, keep the pimp hand strong, it’s time to slap a ho!

    Joining the PTA isn’t a big deal for a normal person, but I think we all know this bitch is far from normal. I’m waiting for him to dump her and for her to try and pick up the kids from school anyway, kidnap-style like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

  63. DrM says:

    As a step-mum myself I call this one inappropriate. She isn’t their mother…I’m not my step-kids mum. I act as a parental figure but my husband does the disciplining (not much needed I have to say) and we both make sure they are well fed, watered, clean and happy when they are with us. Not always easy, we are talking teenagers here but I would NOT try and adopt a mother role. They have a mother…I agree with posters who have said that given that EC left BG for LR it also makes it more complicated. As a mum of four children in addition to my step kids I’d be FURIOUS if their father’s partner tried to step in the way LR is. As a matter of fact she did early on, and it didn’t work. My kids know who their mother is and wouldn’t have a bar of it. LR should back the truck up and stop being so bloody pushy!

    Oh and Merry Christmas from New Zealand btw 🙂 Its the afternoon on Christmas Day here 🙂 Hot and sunny 🙂

  64. Bopa says:

    She has no reason to join the PTA. It’s not like Eddie has full or majority custody of the kids. It will only bring drama to the school.

  65. southerncheerleader says:

    Maybe it’s because she is just SUPER immature & doesn’t KNOW the correct way to behave.

    What can Eddie Rimes do?

    Think he wants end up out in street?

    He’s gonna go along with whatever she says.

  66. nnn says:

    You know at the end of the day, it’s the kind of relationship and the level of intimacy and educational involvment she shares with the kids that determine if joining the PTA is inappropriate or not regardless of the way she ended up with their father and regardless of how long it will last.

    This is the key, and noone in here know the type of relationship and feelings she shares with the kids to have a perfect answer to such a situation.

    There is no black and white answer to a situation like this when you don’t have all the data and mainly when you don’t know what the kids want and how they relate to her.

    If she is the one who is more hands down with them, helping them with their homework, more than their own father, then maybe it makes sense that she joins the PTA, the same way she may reads them stories to sleep or prepare dinner for them, ect.

    Also i don’t think that she will join it without the father’s consent AND the children’s too. Children that age are very vocal if they don’t you around or to participate in their education or not.

    There is the possibility that they could be the ones asking her to join if she intimately participates in their education.

    What is however inappropriate through and through is to advertise it.

  67. Crash2GO2 says:

    Hmmm. I have to say Brandi isn’t doing herself or her kids any favors by tweeting that kind of stuff. And also (as icantbelievethis pointed out) her insistence on calling the children HERS (rather than OURS) is a sure sign that she is not doing the work she needs to do to move on from this and put her children’s best interests at heart. I also agree that she married a douchebag and she needs to realize that and stop putting all the blame the other woman.

    I don’t see how LeAnn joining the PTA is a big deal. The more people that those kids have in their lives that love them, the better.

  68. betty says:

    Is Eddie a PTA member? Why would Leann join if Eddie is a member since he is the parent and if Brandi is a member.Her motives are clear.She is a sick and delusional woman and Eddie is no better.If they both had the welfare of the kids in mine they would do nothing to embarrass or bring more attention to them. This type of situation will cause gossip and Leann knows it thats why shes doing it anything to get attention,if not she would stay in the background. Brandi is the kids mother and will be their long after Eddie has found another conquest.I feel sorry for those kids to have such losers in their lives.

  69. betty says:

    @CRASH2GO2 Brandi is stating a fact the kids are hers.Leann does not have kids. Leann is like a lot of barren woman involved with men with children they try to makeup for fact they haven’t produced any by claiming some else kids. If she had children of her own she would act differently.Brandi has put up with a lot of BS from both these two. She is a class act. Leann and Eddie and their phony church going act is not fooling anyone. It takes more than going to church to be a Christian.One lesson they will both learn is “You reap what you sow.”

  70. Kim says:

    Its great that she loves her boyfriends kids and if their own mother wasnt involved in their lives than perhaps joining the PTA would be appropriate.

    But this isnt the case and her joining the PTA is completely inappropraite. She can support them many other ways from afar because they have a mother. Leann is obviously trying to piss the mom off and he probably is to – if he isnt still trying to sleep with her which i think he is.

  71. Hakura says:

    @Crash2GO2 (#65)- I just think Brandi is reacting in frustration at the blatant attempts LeAnn is making to assume a ‘motherly’ role. I think she’s being pushed too far by the public statements LeAnn is making on top of the actions themselves. She likely feels threatened, & that (as was the case with her ex-husband) LeAnn is trying to move in on something else that belongs to her.

    “The more people that those kids have in their lives that love them, the better.”

    That’s true, but I don’t think LeAnn is doing these things out of love. She wouldn’t always have to tell the world about the things she does for them. Her constant need to claim credit for these things publicly shows that her motives are selfish, & meant to improve her image. Her narcissism & fake ‘devotion/affection’ will only end up hurting the boys, in the long run. =( Perhaps quite badly.

    @betty (#67)- “Leann is like a lot of barren woman involved with men with children they try to makeup for fact they haven’t produced any by claiming some else kids.

    Personally, I don’t think her lack of children has anything to do with the way she’s acting now. I just think appearing to completely ’embrace’ caring for her boyfriend’s children (which would make her look like good step mom material) is a ploy to improve her public image. Less about the boys themselves than creating the illusion that she’s suddenly become selfless and domestic, separating herself from the ‘home wrecker’ label that so many associate with her now. I believe that impression people have of her has really hurt her career. I know that *I* lost respect for her completely after that big mess.

    Maybe my opinions are cynical, but so far, everything she’s done has pointed to this as being her motive.

  72. brin says:

    @Carol…I for one am not jealous of Leann who obviously has no morals and seems to be psychotic. To make a statement that Brandi should be thanking the woman who broke up her family & is trying to replace her is absurd.

  73. josie says:

    someone needs to rein Leann Rimes in. It won’t be Eddie since he is financially dependent on her, it won’t be her parents since she hsan’t listened to them since she was 14 and that leaves maybe Eddie’s parents. understand they are good people and they need to have a serious talk with Eddie alone and tell him to have his GF back off. They have to be just a little enbarrassed and sad that their son is now living with and sponging off of an immature twit of a person. am sure he was taught to earn your own way and take care of your own kids and not to rely on a woman to do it

    ******************

    So far off base it isn’t even funny.

    Anyway, I’m a stepmom. And I have no desire to join the PTA at Sophie’s school. Why? Because her mom is a member. And Sophie has a kickass mom and doesn’t need me to play THAT role. I have my role, that of stepmother. If you REALLY want to make a difference in a child’s life, cultivate a positive relationship with the mother of the children.

    Oh, I know. I know only too well how that feels. And believe me, I have said those words quietly in my head to myself, or to a very good friend. I am not unsympathetic, and I can see that my post could have been interpreted that way.

  76. betty says:

    I respect others opinions on this matter but I have witnessed insecure childless woman like Leann that horn in on another womans kids when they have none.Leann has been called out on this matter on the Wendy Williams Show E and Showbiz Tonight she was called insensitive.She knows what she is doing because if she wanted to create a better step mom image she would have stepped back after the meeting with Brandi. But she is taking leverage because that scumbag of a father is allowing it. You forget you are not dealing with a rational person.Leann is desperate for a family she didn’t have one growing up thats why she is trying to takeover Brandis.

  77. csol says:

    uh-oh Kaiser…you will shortly be getting a rant via twitter about how all u report r lies and how the “news media” n pretty much the whole entire universe is wrong n don’t have “all the facts” of the situation!!! I really hope someone intervenes STAT with this broad, she has definitely shown in the past few months that she is either unbelievably insecure or just plain off her effin rocker!

  78. Karin says:

    I’m a step mom too and I will never join the PTA. Why? Because it sounds fucking boring and I have more interesting things to do with my time.

  79. Karin says:

    “…I have witnessed insecure childless woman like Leann that horn in on another womans kids when they have none”

    Not only do I disagree with that statement, I would go as far as to say that any mom who thinks this drivel is the insecure one. You would think that a “mature and secure” mother would only want their kids to have a wonderful step mom who lavishes her children with more love and affection. You would think a “mature and secure” mother would want her ex to be with a woman who would do anything to ensure that her children become strong and secure adults.

    Insecure mothers would be jealous of a new step mother, thinking that she is a replacement…thinking that step-mom might be “better than her”…an insecure mother would think that another woman is “horning in” on her kids (the expression is actually “hone in” btw). An insecure mother would wish only that her kids get stuck with a miserable step-mom who pays them no interest and couldn’t be bothered to do anything for or with them.

  80. Hakura says:

    @Crash2GO2 – I think I did misinterpret it a bit, but didn’t mean to come off like I was contradicting in any way (If i did, I apologize >.<)

    Myself, I’m still in my early 20’s & don’t have children. As such, I know I can’t possibly understand all the strong feelings that go along with that. But if I were in Brandi’s position, I know I’d be so frustrated at this point that I’d really want to kick someone’s arrogant-disrespectful-home wrecking tail. (That would apply to both Leann *&* Eddie. It does take two to ‘home wreck’.)

    Children are the most important thing in the world… & while so many don’t have parents who do right by them, these boys are fortunate. Their mother loves & takes care of them. I’d more understand a girlfriend trying to fit into a motherly role if the children didn’t have a good mother figure in their lives. But these boys do, & she isn’t respecting the fact that their *actual* mother is very uncomfortable with her actions.

    @betty – I think the reality could very well be a combination of our opinions. If she *is* just doing this for images’ sake (as I think she is), it’s probably much more convenient for her to use older children, as opposed to going through the trouble of conceiving her own, going through pregnancy, then having to spend time losing the baby weight & making time to promote her career afterwards. She’s basically hijacking Brandi’s children, as you said, because she doesn’t have children of her own. If she did, she wouldn’t be doing this Brandi.

    This way she has a ‘ready made’ source for her ‘white picket fence’ image. All she has to do is drop them off at sports practices, go to school functions like the PTA or ‘band’ practices, & simply be seen walking with them… to accomplish her goal.

    EDIT- I’m sorry for the super long messages! I tried to cut it back a bit, but kept wanting to leave things in xD I’m long winded.

  81. icantbelievethis says:

    @betty My point wasn’t to defend LR, but to point out that LR’s actions will only work if BG lets them. So what if LR wants to act like the perfect step mom. Nothing will change that BG is the mom and at some point someone has to be the grown up for the sake of the kids. It does them no good if all the adults in their lives are being petty towards each other.

    Whenever my ex or others would act like asses I always felt like it was even more important that I took the high road and set a good example. Plus what is the point in reacting and giving them what they want?

    No one really knows why LR does things, but even if she’s doing this for her own selfish reasons the boys aren’t being hurt. She isn’t hitting them, abusing them, etc. Kids can’t have enough people who love them and those boys know who their mom is and always will. My son hasn’t seen his dad in 4 years, but he doesn’t love him any less or not think about him daily.

  82. CooCooCatchoo says:

    She’s just trying to piss Eddie’s wife off and ingratiate herself into that family. Ugh, she’s icky. Go have your own kids, you troll. PS – you’ll never be as pretty as Brandi. Money or not, you are a bow-wow. I guess Eddie finds you money very attractive, though. Ruff ruff!

  83. betty says:

    @ican’tbelievethis:I get your point but anytime anyone is used for selfish reasons they are being hurt and it is called exploitation and that surely is not love. You can take the high road sometimes but people like Leann mistakes kindness for weakness thats why she keeps taking jabs at Brandi. Why should Brandi even have to be subjected to this behavior anyway these are not Leanns kids.she is not even married to Eddie just shacking up by his choice putting his kids in the midst of this turmoil because he wants to be a kept man some role model. I bet if the roles were reversed Eddie would not like it neither would Leann but one day it will happen. I bet he won’t take the high road.

  84. Shelley says:

    If you read Brandi’s Tweets as I just did for the first time, she certainly enjoys using every obscenity in the book – very classy. I was shocked – yes, I swear, but not habitually and I sure wouldn’t joyfully and abundantly weave 4-letter words throughout my writings on Twitter as she does. Also she too seems to be a Constant Twitterer. The PTA allowed LR to join. For some reason EC has the boys this Christmas even though he apparently also had them last Christmas. How and why did that happen?

    Again are any of these people, including their own mother, putting the boys first? Her “MY BOYS MINE!!!” Tweet is nutso.

    Why not have the boys with BG the 24th and EC the 25th, which is how many of us divide the holidays up so we can celebrate Christmas with lots of family members? Why is everything such high drama with these people? Quit getting drunk, quit whining, all of you go to the freakin’ PTA meetings if you want to.

  85. Hakura says:

    @icantbelievethis – I have to disagree, in regards to the boys not possibly being hurt by Leann’s actions.

    Leann has a lot of things at her disposal to use in order to gain the boy’s affections, such as being able to buy them things their mother never could… taking them on vacations & fun places. The boys are still *so* young that those ploys could really affect the way they view the world, *&* which parents they want to spend more time with. If they were a little older, their view of the world may not be so heavily affected by it. (Not that being bought things won’t affect them when they’re a little older, but when you’re that young you’re figuring out what’s important and how the world works.)

    But regardless of the reality the adults understand, the children are being raised to view adults as authority figures. And everyone knows that children learn the most from example. If I were Brandi, I know I wouldn’t want my children looking to Leann to teach them anything. They could so easily pick up on her dishonesty, narcissism, greed, selfishness… Only really valuing people by how much she thinks she could get out of them.

    I think that could hurt the boys quite badly in the long run, in ways that will be lasting.

  86. Kat says:

    #23 TeeTee: “Its like she has no manners and no one ever told her about boundries.”

    Yeah, she has no boundaries (or sense of what boundaries *are*) because she is a narcissist. They bulldoze over everything, including everyone else’s feelings, wishes and – you guessed it – boundaries. Not only is LAR a narcissist, but she’s a malignant narcissist. Roll on the quickie marriage and even faster divorce.

  87. texasmom says:

    She is totally icky and I feel for the ex-wife. . . BUT if she does in fact have anything to do with the kids’ day-to-day lives PTA/PTO membership is hard to get away from. Most schools we’ve been to make you be a member to get a class directory, and if you ever want to reach the parents of your kids’ friends for birthday parties, missing homework, what-have-you, that’s $10 you gotta spend (I have yet to attend a meeting in, just want that directory!!). But it would have been classier if it had been handled in the dad’s name.

    P.S. I’ve reached some daft stage of my life where all photos of hard-looking celebrity blondes make me assume it is a Kate Gosselin story! Not all the pics but the one on the home page does. Dina Lohan, LeeAnn Rimes, Kate Gosselin, they all look somehow alike, maybe it is that each of them lacks a human soul.

  88. judy says:

    LAR dkid not tweet she was joining the PTA. I am sure the school can use some of the money she will doante to them, and I am sure Brandi has no problem taking the check that comes out of LR’s bank account to support her kids and herself since she doesnt work.It doesnt matter why Eddie left his wife , to me when a spouse cheats and leaves means they dont love you anymmore and they donht want you and it not the other man or womans fault thaT YOU couldn’t hold your spouse, it is your fault and since \Eddie was “doing: other women at the same time and his wife knew about it, it makes eddie the jerk. LR did not break up the marriage eddie did, Brandi played a part in it too, as knew aboutthe others but to make herself become a victim, she blamed it on LR. Why is it always the lother womans fault when your husband leave?? He left because he didnt want you anymore how hard is tha to understand? As far as LR joining the pTA BFD. IF it is even true and NO anyone cannot just join the PTA. I suggest all your worried parents get off the computer and call the school and then make sure your husband isnt getting bored with you or tired of the rolls of fat or the head aches lol He may just bail and then you mkight really jhave to worry about something in your opwn life instead of LR or AJ lol

  89. Liana says:

    Wow. Bitch much?

    Yeah, pretty much anyone involved with a child in a particular school can join the PTA/PTO. It’s just membership dues, basically. It’s just really not cool to do it for someone else’s kids without asking their mother. Both parents should be involved in decisions regarding the children, including how “involved” a significant other should be in specific aspects of a child’s life. In my case, I only do light discipline, anything serious is up to JP. I don’t get involved in the school stuff unless it’s picking up Sophie from school in the event that neither parent can’t. But then again, I have a good relationship with my husband’s ex-wife. It’s really important to the children to see that relationship be at the very least, cordial. NONE of the adults involved in this case are acting very adult like.

    @Darla, I almost choked on my food reading your response.

    As for Eddie, Leann, and Brandi, Twitter should ban these people. I think the public hears more them than the kids, I doubt they even speak to each other. I used to sympathize for Brandi, but she is behaving in the same fashion as Leann, constantly twittering nonsense and expletives. At the end of the day, this is just amusing. But really, these 3 need to stop with all the attention-seeking tweets and STFU.

  94. icantbelievethis says:

    IMO totally inappropriate.

    1. She is not even the father’s wife.

    2. This and other little nit-picking, manipulative actions causes trouble, i.e. the true parents not getting along for the sake of the kids. How many people suffer. The manipulator is thinking ONLY of herself and how to get to the real mom, esp. if mom drinks.

    3. L. is tacky and has no class at all.

    4. L. will slowly fade away from this, esp. after mom drop kicks her.

  96. betty says:

    @judy If Brandi knew Leann also knows he’s a jerk and cheater and using her to pay for his support payments.Brandi was married to the scumbag and had a family she was trying to protect what’s Leann excuse.Brandi threw Eddie out because she was tired of his playing around.They had a tryst when he public with Leann but Brandi told him she would not take him back and Eddie does not like rejection thats why he allows Leann the leverage she has. If Leann was secure in her relationship with Eddie, Brandi would not be an issue. Its takes a desperate woman to want a man enough to support him his ex wife and children. Thats what Eddie loves about her(bigheart)money. LOL

  97. Jezi says:

    @Judy just like betty said, Brandi kicked him out. He wasn’t just cheating with Leann but another woman as well. He’s a known cheater, had nothing to do with love. If Leann thinks he loves her, well she’s in for some heartache. My soon to be husband has two kids and I know my place and respect boundaries. I would never over involve myself in those kids live’s. I take care of them, along, with their father, when they are in our care but I promote the open communication to stay between him and the other parent. I do not get involved unless they involve me themselves. It’s very tricky to be the “stepmom” but it can be an easy transition if you know your place and understand that those kids have a mother and you respect that. Leann’s overinvolvment is not because she loves those boys, it’s to promote a positive image. The image she destroyed. If she really cared about those boys, she would stop using them for PR and learn how to be more sensitive to their mother. She has to remember, she’s not just the ex-husband’s new girlfriend that stepped in after they were divorced, she was the woman who helped to break up that family. That’s an even bigger reason why she should take a more private role with those boys. However, the fault lies with Eddie mostly, Leann only gets away with what he allows her to when it comes to his children. I think he loves using Leann to hurt the mother of his kids because he himself is a narcissist and is angry because Brandi rejected him. Eddie is a pig and frankly, Brandi is lucky to be rid of him. Good luck Leann.

    If its true that brandi and eddie slept together while he was with leann, and if its true that brandi kicked eddie out b/c of his affair with leann AND some other girl then I am beginning to see why leann acts so foolish…… It sucks when the ex wife is still a big issue in their beautiful love and I don’t just mean b/c of the kids either. Leann is acting like a woman doing all the work with very little control over the situation at hand. Even if Leann were to succeed in completely pushing brandi to the side when it comes to brandi’s family it wont matter, brandi will still have more power then leann will ever be comfortable with. Brandi play your cards right and gain control over your life, leann is competing with you b/c you are still a threat after all this time and all of their “beautiful” love. Well this tells me their love is like a house of cards that will come tumbling down one by one. I hope brandi can get things together and go on to have a wonderful life, leann and eddie will implode all by themselves.

  101. why? says:

    LR joining the PTA is inappropriate because she is doing it for all the wrong reasons.

    Everything that Leann and EC do with and for those kids is about HER and Eddie Cibrian’s CAREER and of course to taunt BG (in other words LR is telling BG that she is powerless over her own kids because her[Leann] money is the ultimate decider in what happens to those kids and there is nothing that BG can do to stop her because her[Leann’s] Money always has the final say). Just pay attention to when they show up in public with those kids. The last photo-op was the day of Leann’s concert the same one where she posted in that “sexy” santa outfit. And before that the “happy family” photo-op happened just days before EC Hallmark movie was set to come on. The info about the PTA which came packaged in rainbows and ribbbons from a site that everyone knows that LR uses as her mouthpiece comes out the week that her single Crazy Women is on ITunes? Coincidence? I think not.

    Leann joined the PTA for one reason and one reason ONLY.

    She needs FANS.

    In LR mind the PTA is a quick way of getting fans without having to do the work required to impress people, all she has to do is host parties and convince those other parents that she isn’t the monster that the media and EC ex wife make her out to be by pretending to care about those kids. Case in point, LR reads a book and sings at the school and then those other parents are her “bestest friends” now.

    Don’t be fooled, Leann seems like she is the doting stepmother, but just pay attention to what she says and does.Would a doting stepmother say that she had the right to be selfish (in regards to her affair with EC) because she had taken care of people all her life? No.

    It looks like you are doing damage control because another one of LR “bright ideas” has backfired.

    Leann didn’t tweet that she was joining the PTA, but when you go back to LR tweets about those kids’ and their school that is the impression that she gave. Wasn’t Leann and some of the parents even discussion the teachers at the school?

    So if EC doesn’t love BG anymore than why does LR keep acting like she is in some competition with BG or that she wants BG completely out of the picture as is she is some sort of threat(which is why she probably didn’t want to give BG their number when the kids were with them because it would be a constant reminder to LR that BG is those kids mother)? Did you see how long it took EC to final his divorce? Now if he was so ready to get out of his marriage, he would have done whatever it took to finalize his divorce. He didn’t.

    Leann and EC know by now that whatever
    LR tweets about those kids is making it into the tabloids and onto blogs,so LR and EC have no one but themsleves to blame when LR gets backlash for her inappropriate tweets.

    Blaming BG won’t save LR or make the public like LR.

    Perhaps you should instruct Leann to get off of her twitter, instead of having to attack other posters when they do not fawn over LR and “her family”.

    shelley,

    BG is their mother; afterall, she did carry those kids and give birth to them, so how is she being selfish by referring to those kids as MINE?

    Leann needs to be reminded that those kids are BG because bases on LR own tweets LR has gotten it in her head that BG stops being those kids mother the moment they enter her house. If Leann was secure in her relationship with EC, she wouldn’t keep trying to exclude BG in the parenting of those kids just because she feels threatened by the idea of BG and EC getting along and co-parenting in peace.

    BG and EC custody issue reflects a major problem with our court systems.
    Leann has the money to hire lawyers to get her whatever outcome she wants.

    If BG had as much money as LR had, Leann would not be geting away with the constant tweeting, manipulation of the parents and teachers at the kid’s school so that she can build up her fanbase, and exposing those kids to the media just to sell her music. EC wouldn’t have even gotten away with reducing his child support and alimony payments after he frequently gave every indication (ie-new shoes, trip every week, dining out every week, vintage car) that he could afford it because a judge would have told him to sell those luxaries.

    It’s all about Leann’s money and because Leann can afford to pay the lawyers, everything will always be in EC and LR favor, even when it isn’t good for those kids.

    This quote right here is why I think LR & EC relationship is a house of cards ready to tumble all by itself. One blow from the wind, and its all coming down for good. Its LR’s actions that lead me to believe that her fairytale affair is anything but fairytale, Its why she acts so ridiculous.

    Put up a picture of brandi, the kids, EC, and LR — GUESS who’s truly expendable? I would put my entire bank account on LR, and whats the most interesting about this is that she is completely aware of that fact, and does things daily to make herself feel better about it.

    for a supposedly happy woman, it’s incredible how much time LeeAnn has to spend on twitter. twittering seems to be her full time job.

    I REFUSE TO BE A MOTHER TO SOMEONE ELSE’S KIDS.
    WHY I WON’T DATE A MAN WITH (underage – 18) KIDS. NO EFFING WAY.
    I make no apologies. I have too many options.
    There are many men like me as well.
    Once I find out a guy has kids (and if they are under age 18) – there goes my interest.

    I too was actually thinking of that movie too, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, when I read about the PTA thing.

  109. 4Real says:

    I’m pretty sure Brandi could take them back to court for that. She’s clearly impeding on Brandi’s right to parent. I also think less of Eddie for allowing the STALKER to do it.

    Are you talking about LeAnn joining the PTA? Or did I miss something…

  111. icantbelievethis says:

    @4Real How is she preventing Brandi from parenting?

  112. why? says:

    Leann and Eddie sure are staging a lot of photo-ops lately. Perhaps they are trying to prepare the public for their exclusive engagement story with People magazine.

    And their most recent photo-op was at a jewelry store, to once again fuel engagement rumors because they so desperately want to keep their private lives private.

    Now why would she want an engagement date that is close to the one that EC shared with his ex-wife? That is just plain creepy.

    Leann is just plain too immature and as evidenced by her tweets and her daily photo-ops she can’t handle it.

  113. why? says:

    People mag has just annouced that EC and Leann are engaged.

    And it played out just the way that E, In Touch, and and many of us said that it would.

    So just like many of us said, LR and EC only got those kids for Christmas because she wanted them there to celebrate their engagement.

    Wow, Leann gets engaged to EC the week that her Crazy Women single hits iTunes. Who didn’t see that coming(sarcasm)?

    And People mag even made sure to include photos of LR and EC on a beach and of LR showing off her ring(ie-just like Dean’s girlfriend did).

    LR and EC are such attention seekers it’s not even fuuny.

    What I find creepy is the fact that she wanted an engagement date that is close to the day that EC proposed to BG.

  114. brin says:

    @why…Just checked leann’s twitter page and she had the nerve to say she was shocked!

  115. why? says:

    I don’t get the shocked thing either considering that it was absolutely imperative that she and EC had those kids for Christmas for that reason.

  116. betty says:

    Leann is such a phony they been engaged she is just announcing it and who cares. It is not going to help her sell any albums or concert ticket she might have been shocked but we are not her actions are predictable. Just goes to show she bought and paid for Eddie what decent man would propose to a woman without having a job and what decent woman would want to support a man and his children with no steady income.

    @Shelley

    Regarding the “my boys” query. It was a twitter issue that finally blew up in August after one LeAnnFollower tweeted “please remember that those ” boys” already have a mother”. LeAnn turned it into a big deal claiming that she, herself, didn’t receive enough credit for being a part of the boys’ lives (her words). After your request I went back to try and find her specific tweets calling the boys hers, but she’s either deleted or edited them in August when the media brought up the issue. By the time Kaiser did this thread http://www.celebitchy.com/113135/leann_rimes_defends_calling_brandi_eddies_sons_her_boys/ apparently the “my boys” tweets were removed and you could only see the aftermath. Perhaps you could just trust Brin, Rita and Jezi about it though… I remember the tweet but can’t remember exactly what it said.

    Also, regarding the tweet you asked me about… I’m sorry, sometimes I put the quotation marks in the wrong place, but I am so irked that LeAnn successfully lied about Brandi being kept in the dark that day. LeAnn responded to a follower who asked her about why Brandi was at the soccor game and not at the ER with her injured toddler; LeAnn’s exact tweet was “Don’t worry. She knew.” This infuriates me; Brandi went to the soccor game and waited around – she called and texted Eddie when they didn’t show up. Eddie, as we now know, NEVER answers her calls but lets it go to voicemail and then has the assistant LeAnn brought him call the mother of his kids back, later. We know that at least LeAnn had her iPhone with her at the ER because while Brandi was at the game waiting for Eddie’s assistant to return her messages, Brandi was either called or texted by one of her own friends who had seen LeAnn’s tweets about the three year old getting stitches.

    So when LeAnn tweeted “don’t worry. She knew” is was such a vicious type of lie, and a lie the skank was never called on. She was implying that Brandi was well aware that her youngest child was bleeding from his face and was getting his first stitches but decided to wait for awhile and then go to the soccor game for no good reason. Brandi may not be good at grammer (their/there) but no way would Brandi fail to go immediately to the ER if she knew her three year old son had fallen on hard wood floors and was getting his first stitches. Whenever referring to LeAnn’s outrageous lying about that day, I emphasize how obvious the lie is by expanding the original tweet. I’m just so annoyed that her Twitter followers are so painfully gullible that she gets away with this crap. I’m sorry that I confused you, though.

  118. KatScorp says:

    Oh hell, I’ve just re-read Shelley’s post and realised the confusion wasn’t my fault. Shelley, it wasn’t one of Brandi’s posts, it was LeANN’s. LR, not BG. We’ve talked about it three times now: the ER visit, the stitches, Brandi not being told by Eddie while LeAnn was freely tweeting all about it… re-read some of Kaiser’s earlier posts, i.e. http://www.celebitchy.com/117639/leann_rimes_whines_threatens_after_wendy_williams_calls_her_sloppy/

    LOL @littledeadgirl I almost put a (t) in the original post, but feared Kaiser would get angry with me for the vulgarity.

    @Rita and Brin. I’m sorry for taking a break, but after the fight with (what’s her name again?) and the comments Betty made at Crash2Go, I couldn’t emotionally handle being in the discussion for awhile. I get emotionally overwhelmed easily and I’m only here to get away from how awful and hopeless the world feels, so when all hell broke loose here I had to leave until my anxiety from the confrontations ebbed. I can’t work or go to uni anymore due to the severity of my anxiety and depression; I’m at these gossip discussion threads to escape my problems, not to see more aggression or antagonism. So I needed to take a break. I’ve been lurking, however there haven’t been many LeAnn posts anyway.

    #59 Akura *waves* G’day mate. Excellent post; succint and full on truth! I’ve gotta try that bold function.

    @KatScorp: I’m sorry you were so upset by all that stupid ruckus. Very smart of you to know your limits.

    As for all the twitters, I can’t keep ’em straight. 😉

    @KatScorp…I get that, it can get wild on here, but I enjoy reading your posts and glad you are back.
