Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes performing at a concert at the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach, Florida. This is why LeAnn and Eddie were in Miami over the weekend – it wasn’t merely another vacation. LeAnn had to “work.” She had to make that money so her kept man could keep all of his toys. I’m also adding some photos of LeAnn and Eddie at LAX after their weekend in Miami. Does Eddie look slightly embarrassed? He should. This VH1 reality show has blown up in his face, big-time. Deadline reported a few days ago that LeAnn & Eddie is sort of tanking in the ratings. Even “Naked Dating” has more than double the audience.
The sayings are that sex sells and controversy gets coverage and certainly VH1 were betting on a bit of both with Naked Dating. To that end, last night’s 9 PM debut of the self explanitory reality series from Lighthearted Entertainment delivered – somewhat. The 1-hour Naked Dating had 826,000 total viewers with 480,000 among Adults 18-49. Not only was that 0.5 rating the best non-Monday premiere in the Viacom channel has had since Mob Wives launched on April 17, 2011 with a 0.9 but it saw huge leaps up from the last quarter.
The rest of VH1’s new programming on VH1 might have wanted to strip down a bit to do better. Coming after the 551,000 who watched the debut of Candidly Nicole, the 10:30 premiere of Leann And Eddie was seen by a total 374,000 audience of 374,000. The former was up 51% from last quarter among the 18-49s with 325,000 watching while the later up just 19% over the last quarter’s average in the time slot with 252,000 viewers in the demo.
Basically, hundreds of thousands of people switched channels when LeAnn & Eddie came on. As it should be.
Oh, and Eddie recently “joked” about how LeAnn has an eating disorder. Because JOKES, PEOPLE.

This weekend I caught an old tribute to Barbra Streisand (maybe from 3 years ago). Leann was singing-and it was so embarrassingly bad. Even my husband (who has no idea about the gossip and remembered her being a teen with a lovely voice) said “what the hell happened to her? and why is she singing like that?” Her face, gestures-it was a duet-omg. Cringe.
So I was in Miami for WWE Raw (yeah, yeah, I know) and I saw fliers for her performance and a guy in the crowd said, “LeAnn looks like she bit a brick, what did she do to her face?” and his partner replied, “Slept with skuz-ball. Messes you up any day.”
I laughed.
“bit a brick”? I LOVE THAT…
Aww you went to WWE? Lucky! It’s a lot of fun, it was just here not too long ago but I’m holding out for TNA, they’ve got Kurt Angle! Now if only they could get RVD (he wasn’t there, was he? I heard he was with WWE but I never see him) and maybe Golddust, then it would be perfect!
Lucky you!!! I wanted to go to Raw and NXT but I ‘m sadly broke.
Well, look, I haven’t watched VH1 since they did pop-up videos and the Vogue Fashion Awards.
Oh, I forgot about that, I loved pop-up videos! Ha..
Americans will watch anything trashy and bad and even we can’t sit thru Leann and Eddie for 1/2 an hour HA HA. I used to a big Leann fan when I was young – she really was a talented singer – but in the last five years she has become so unlikable. They did a reality show to prove how happy they are and then spent the whole time complaining about the press and his ex? She also trashed the record company that had stood by her thru 14 years of flops. Good luck getting a new deal anytime soon Leann!
So true. They overestimated their appeal among the few who even know who they are. Unless the ratings dip below 100K, I think the network will air the remaining episodes and call it a day.
Someone is going to get blamed for this obvious failure, just like the record company that didn’t know what to do with her or themselves the past decade or so (she claimed this in a recent interview). If won’t be her fault, that’s for sure.
Leann & Eddie are both executive producers so I’m thinking the fault lies with them.
@Byte Me–Ohhh but they will surely blame Brandi!! They are just so perfect, doncha know???
At the very least, I think the network and Gurney will get some blame if not a frivolous lawsuit. I guess Country Cuban is the only safe party in this mess, unless they decide to sue each other.
Hopefully Brandi will NOT engage them so their show will go away. Their entire gig is about Brandi drama. Spencer and Heidi are probably excited to be making room for them over on Sub-D-list Avenue.
Good god is her singing face her organism face..?
Hahaha. Yes, it is her organism face. A lower form of an organism. 😉
I’m crying so hard at ‘organism face’ 😀
Lol. Spelling mistake but a good one at that 😜
The premier did so badly and got so many bad reviews, including a really great article from the Washington Post about how truly awful these two are. Somehow this chick still managed to twist it around by tweeting something about how much of a success it was and she was so happy blah blah blah and something about how the feedback has been so great except for a couple of blogs. I sometimes wonder if she really believes her own bullshit? Or if her life is just constant and repeating moments of trying to save face. Does she really think her marraige is wonderful? Or does she see that she’s married to a chubby unemployed serial cheater who’s only with her because he lives a life of constant vacations and leisure. The delusion is strong with this one
She tweeted yesterday that #LeanandEddie was trending. It was only trending between her and her 6 twitter buddies. She lives in an alternate universe.
I believe those must be all of LeAnn’s fake Twitter accounts.
Sharknado trended too… so… um… yeah that’s all I’ve got.
I read serial cheater as serial killer for some reason -haha. Well it’s sort of true, he’s a serial killer of careers!
Ex-Laxy. Oops, I meant to say exactly 🙂 She always spins everything to her advantage, but the numbers don’t lie. Her show, like her career, is an utter flop.
Speaking of Ex-Lax, did you see the pictures of her at the bikini fashion show in Miami? She has a suspicious “stain” on the back of her white skirt.
Also, check out the pictures of Eddie posing with one of the beautiful models. I haven’t seen him that happy in ages.
High Five, everyone!
People watch VH1? I stopped watching that channel once they stopped Rock of Love, Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club. Those shows were at least amusing.
I agree, I used to watch the above reality shows listed but once those were gone, it became a snoozefest.
those shows were my life 😛 them with flavor of love and charm school.
And I Love New York. I miss those days.
I used to love the “I love the 80s shows.
How can you all forget “Behind the Music”!? That was the best! My favorite was the Leif Garret special were he claimed he changed his ways and was clearly waisted. And the fake remorse of causing his friend paralysis.
I remember that train wreck episode. You described it perfectly. He was also clearly not over Nicolette, either.
Another memorable episode was Bee Gees’ Barry discussing his last conversation with his brother Andy, which was more or less a tough love argument and how he must live with that. Made me sad.
Yeah, the network used to have entertaining and memorable shows.
did you ever see the pop video version of the leif garrett behind the music? i’ve never found it on line. brilliant!
like you see a clip of leif saying he has been sober x many days and the little video box pops up underneath him saying “he’s high right now”
Once Real Chance at Love and Tool Academy were over, there was no point to watch VH1.
LeAnn can’t sell tickets to her concerts…what made her think ANYONE would be interested in watching her and Eddie on TV. If this show gets cancelled quickly, I predict this could spell the end of LeAnn and Eddie…I think when they got together they thought they were going to be some kind of power couple in Hollywood. They do have a lot in common…they are both narcisstic, obnoxious, and delusional losers…
…and don’t forget squinty.
Ha!
Good. I won’t have to move countries now.
I don’t think Eddie likes what karma is spoon feeding him these days. Still enjoying life with your sugar mama, Ed?
And at least 300k of those were people hate-watching it to make fun of it.
I was just thinking that a LOT of people tuned in to see the train wreck and now that everyone’s curiosity has been satiated, the next show’s numbers will be cut half.
Yep most were lookey loos and the numbers will dwindle down so I won’t be surprised if VH1 pulls the show all together.
Maybe they should call the show “Shart Tank”.
Good one, Brin.
She needs to ditch wearing white and go with ‘shart-treuse’.
LOL…yep!
Brin and Christin—–Both of you are so funny and right on!!!
I should have said that both of your comments are “crappy”. hahaha
Crying over here. 😂
Taking my top hat off with my opera gloves and bowing while handing you roses. LOL
This reality show, while satisfactory in production quality, REALLY proves how crazy they are. I watched the first episode bc I’m a masochist and I was so embarrassed to see that a tabloid cover from Star was the entire focus of the episode. What message were they trying to send to people? Bc all I got was that they sit around all day and obsess about what the media prints about them. When the Star tabloid just happened to be at the tattoo parlor – I was rolling my eyes so hard at that point.
And I understand that laughter can be the best medicine, but I also see something really abnormal about the way they react to these tabloids. They say they “laugh” about the headlines and their problems. But any same person knows that sensationalist media has one goal: to sell more copies. So instead of obsessively recalling and “laughing” at each headline, why can’t they just ignore it?
I really see some deep-rooted issues with this couple if this is all that they do all day.
I don’t get why the PTB thought that the world wanted to hear “their side” of the story. I’ve been hearing that stupid story for years, “We fell in love…it was forbidden…it was wrong but it felt so right…” I GET IT. Say something else. Do something else. Stop being so predictable.
Is anyone really surprised?
Her show will bomb worse this week as curious viewers drop off.
I have to say LeAnn’s body and clothing choices and even shoe choices have looked her best this promo run-up. That jumpsuit in the first pic is adorable, and I thought her outfit and shoes on Wendy Williams looked great. Her face looks more like pre-Eddie, and her body is a great weight.
I wonder why she didn’t try to look this good when shooting her show when she was a little heavier and it showed in her face especially and stomach when she was lifting up her shirt to be tattooed.
On twitter alot of people said they hate watched the first 5-10 minutes & switched the channel. If that’s true alot of those people probably won’t watch the other episodes lol!!
Well, if you take out all the TVs LeAnn bought and turned on herself, its probably more like 300k 😉
Micheal K from D-Listed said Leann should by 360,000 televisions so viewership will go up.
Wow people and the media really hate them. Sorry to tell you as I have worked in television for a long time in cable ratings when you are up 19% from the last quarter’s time slot this is actually not a bad number. This really does mean 19% more people are watching the network than before. The drop from Dating Naked isn’t good, but not terrible in the land of cable. Still with this kind of press this show will probably get cancelled even if the numbers improve. I have long learned never underestimate the crap people will watch on tv.
Ya from reading the quote, looks like the ratings weren’t bad? It is cable. They didn’t do very much worse than Nicole’s show & it was a later timeslot.
I didn’t watch (too much secondhand embarrassment) but I guess her haters are still keeping her in business.
Vh1 aired an old rerun of SNL the week before, so the 19% increase really wasn’t good at all. Leann was competing against an episode that aired in 1990. Someone on another site posted a scale that said anything below .3 was bad and that a show that usually gets below .3 are the ones that get canceled. Leann has over 556,000 followers and her show only received 374,000 viewers. Vh1 can’t be happy with that big of a gap.
The ratings were bad. Lindsey Lohan’s show aired on cable, it received 600,000 viewers and it was called a flop by the press.
The first episode was out before it even aired because VH1 put it on demand and online.
Dating Naked appeared on TV By The Numbers Top 100 list( a list that ranks how shows did on cable compared to one another for 18-49 audiences), while Candidly Nicole and Leann and Eddie didn’t. Leann’s show received 252,000 views for the 18-49 audiences. This is bad.
I have no interest in watching after her slimeball husband was cheating on Brandy with countless women (he only picked LeAnn because she has the most money)not to mention LeAnn’s desperation to appear relevent. Let’s hope they divorce soon.
If it weren’t for the kids I would wish Eddie a long, long life with LeAnn. He is clearly miserable and she is off her rocker. Honestly, they deserve each other.
The show got negative reviews everywhere, it’s obvious they did the show to hurt Brandi and people have no desire to see that. Their show bombed and LeAnn crapped herself in public, I’d say these two are getting exactly what they deserve.
“Their show bombed and LeAnn crapped herself in public”
Ha ha ha!!!! I nearly spit out my coffee at this! So true tho….
Someone on W&S pointed out last night that Ediot had to walk out of a room full of beautiful women with crap-stained leann on his arm. That made me laugh lots. He’s getting what he deserves.
Ha! This visual kills me (in a good way)! Poor Ediot getting exactly what he has coming to him.
Brangelina they are not.
I love that Brandi is on a Real Housewives show and getting all the love. Their show should be called “Trainwreck Karma”.
Eddie is a cheater. She “stole” a cheater. He even cheated on her while they were cheating. And she continues to think he’s a prize.
^^ She’s got what she paid for. It’s as simple as that.
More people than live in my country so I’ll clap to that.
I watched it on demand after reading several of these threads. Is it bad that I contributed to the #’s? I might watch the next one too. It’s not even a remotely entertaining show but after years of being a loyal CB reader, I’m still having trouble believing these people really exist.
Since you’re asking…
I’m just as awestruck as you that people like this actually exist in the world. It’s fascinating to watch their behavior played out – and they’re even okay to do it in front of a camera! Where everybody can see! And everyone and their mother can sit back and judge them at any time from this point forward. It’s crazy. Reality shows that celebrate bad behavior are crazy. The whole genre is absurd and insane and I don’t think one person or five or 100 will put a dent in this shows numbers. If people watched the show like they do the Kartrashian’s, that would be one thing. They have momentum. But this little psychotic and her pet husband are fizzling as we speak so if you want to watch because of the awe factor, watch! 🙂
Sea Dragon

The fringe makes me cringe
RIGHT?! I was just going to post something about that. Even her freaking bikinis have fringe. She’s a fringed-out one trick pony.
Let’s not forget that this wasn’t even a “real” reality show–or even anything close to one! This was a completely scripted PR effort that failed…miserably.
When Leann bragged about how her show was trending on twitter she really was lying. It was an article that Usa Today wrote about her show that was really trending. Just like she and her fans are now trying to spin that her show was a success because it was up by 19% from last week and that 374,000 is a good rating because the standards for cable ratings have changed, she purposely lied to her fans. She tweeted an article that was trending, in bold letters she put the name of her show and right below it in tiny letters a link to the article.
I have absolutely no idea who these two are and why there’s so much news about them here (I’m not American). Apparently she’s a country singer, which could explain a lot, as country isn’t a popular genre here at all. Are they well known celebrities in the USA, at least?
She was a teenage country singer who had a couple of hit songs. Her biggest awards and record sales were at least 14 or 15 years ago. She has dabbled in pop music and a little acting, which is how she met her husband (both were married to others at the time). I had never heard of him, but apparently he was a fairly solid b-level actor in some TV shows.
I am from an area that is big on country music (several longtime A-list country stars are from this region), and she is rarely if ever played on local radio. She came to a very nice venue near my hometown within the past few years. People say her tickets are practically given away at some places, but her lowest priced ticket at this venue cost almost twice what a five-time Grammy winner charged just a week prior to her concert. Friends who often go to concerts said they were trying to cross-sell her tickets like crazy, but they had no interest.
I just watched it…I figured I read Brandi’s book, I can watch a half hour show. And I’ll be honest…I didn’t hate it. As vapid as she is, and as much of a tool as he is, they do genuinely seem to love one another.
Not saying they’ll last, or that she’s not horrible to Brandi, just that the show could have been much worse.
She’s a miserable fail and so is her show and soon the marriage will be too. He doesn’t even touch her, he’s checked out and every picture that’s evident. Face it MeAnn! You’re prideful homewrecker days are over now. It’s time pay the karma Gods.
I’d like to think he’s embarrassed by all the ugly remarks about his ex-wife, but I doubt it. In their crazed minds, Brandi is at fault for the show failing.
I have to laugh every time I read someone who watched the “scripted” show and says but they really do seem to be in love and happy. People, it’s all for show. What’s he gonna do treat her like he does in real life on national tv and walk off the screen to go out alone and hook up? If you notice, he is all of a sudden trying to pretend to be the happy husband in every pic lately too. He hadn’t acted happy in years prior to this premiere. I feel the same when somebody takes to heart an argument between women on these housewife shows. It’s all producer driven drivel that they sit around a table and think up before they film. Please tell me the majority of public understands this? Leann obviously from the “stain” still has a serious laxative problem. They should be focusing on that. This week her and her girlfriends go out on the town. Do you think that is scripted? LOL. Remember she was so heavy and had pics skipping down the street in the blue jean shorts, denim shirt and boots and looked God awful. Should be riveting. LOL
Yeah, I don’t get why people love reality shows so much and think that they’re based in actual reality. I mean, Duck Dynasty- people don’t get that writers and producers sit around and think up things that will look super hillbilly to make people laugh? They’re playing the parts of rednecks with dashes of their real selves thrown in. Those guys never wore beards year round til the show. Pawn Stars: seeded. Storage Wars: seeded. ANY reality show will have some basis in reality, but all the situations and dialogue are written by the show. Sheesh.
I was skimming thru some articles yesterday and LR and her minions are trying to claim in the comments that the stain pics were photoshopped by some evil people..lol
Sounds like she’s implying BG was behind it but it’s kind of funny to read b/c you can tell by the way she’s holding her dress in the one pic that she knows the stain is there and is trying to hide it.. there is no way those pics were p-shopped.
I saw a comment about ‘think Photoshop and enemies’ that made me lol.
I don’t think the photo was altered, and if enemies are involved, how about her companions who apparently did not tell her and try to block the view?
First she and her Twitter besties were claiming that she sat on something. Soda was mentioned. even though there wasn’t a soda can in sight. If they are now trying to claim that Brandi or her supporters somehow arranged to have this photoshopped and disseminated to the media, they are seriously a lot more deranged than I could have ever imagined. LeAnn was trying really hard to hide her little accident. by gathering up the skirt that way. It was very awkward looking and didn’t work. She and her sad little camp are grasping at straws by trying to claim photoshop. She’s making herself even more ridiculous.
I get the feeling that she cooked up most of the storylines, including starting off with tabloids. Huge mistake, IMO.
I mentioned in another post that I grew up in an area that produced several well known country stars who have maintained successful careers for decades. I started thinking how she differs from at least two of them. It has nothing to do with raw talent. It’s how they do not engage rumors and keep their private lives private.
One is a master at teasing with her words and gives delightful interviews (without revealing all). She’s so well liked to the point that it would probably take something criminally sinister before people think less of her anyway.
I went to school with a scrawny guy who has had hit after hit for 20 years. He had his own very public tabloid issue with a then a-lister. To this day, he does not engage rumors and has longtime friends around him that don’t blab to the press.
The two stars I referenced do not use Twitter to squabble or post nonsense. And if either of them did a reality show, I dare say people would watch. But they are too busy selling out concerts and running their other business interests. And they don’t have to tell the world how successful they are or criticize record companies if their career slows a little.
If she wants to know what’s wrong with her career, she should look no further than the mirror.
These two have become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry! I don’t think they will ever be able to dig themselves out of that hole. This forsaken reality show just put the nail in the coffin.
Leann Rimes has the best country voice – hands down
How can I live without you is a breakthrptaking doing
Sorry but Taylor, faith nor Carrie just can’t compare
