This is maybe one of the most hilarious stories ever regarding the LeAnn Rimes-Eddie Cibrian relationship/trainwreck. This even amuses me as much as hearing that LeAnn Rimes got her new boobs from Brandi Glanville’s plastic surgeon. Anyway, Us Weekly is reporting that Eddie Cibrian has hired an image consultant. And when I say “Eddie has hired” I mean “LeAnn hired”. It’s understood at this point, right? That LeAnn is supporting Eddie in every aspect, because if Eddie is using his own meager funds to hire an image consultant, you’ve got to wonder if that money might be better spent on his back child support. So Eddie hired this image consultant… because the haters just won’t let LeAnn and Eddie be happy and in love, and Eddie is tired of people thinking he’s a “philandering sleaze”.

Eddie Cibrian’s discovered that his bad boy rep doesn’t work on everyone.

The actor, who left wife of eight years Brandi Glanville, 38, in 2009 after Us uncovered his affair with LeAnn Rimes, 28, has hired an image consultant.

“He’s tired of being portrayed as a philandering sleaze,” a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

First up? He made Eddie get rid of his Porsche and buy a Prius,” says the insider.

The consultant also told the newly-engaged star, 37, to be seen more with his and Glanville’s kids Mason, 7, and Jake, 3.

Says the source, “Instead of going to a Lakers game with his buddy, the consultant insisted he bring a son.”

(A Cibrian source denies the report.)

This image consultant doesn’t sound too bad, although these kinds of surface-level makeovers seem like common sense moves, in my opinion. Yeah, don’t drive a Porsche when your ex-wife is yelling about child support. Don’t look like you’re trolling for strange when you’re supposedly this stand-up guy who just fell in love. There are two more big changes that I’d like to suggest for Eddie, and it won’t even cost him a thing: first, Eddie needs to get a job. He looks like LeAnn’s kept man, and he looks bored. He needs to work. Secondly, and most importantly: get LeAnn to shut up. No tweeting, no interviews, no confirmations or denials by her rep, nothing. Just go dark for a while. Both of them should keep their heads down for a bit.
