It was inevitable that somewhere, someone would “nominate” LeAnn Rimes for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. So she posted her video yesterday, and wouldn’t you know, it involves Eddie Cibrian and the “bonus boys.” Brandi Glanville has repeatedly requested that LeAnn not involve Mason and Jake in her social media adventures, but it’s like LeAnn can’t help but poke the (drunk) bear. Here’s the video:
Meh. She wasn’t wearing a bra, right?
On this week’s episode of LeAnn & Eddie, they take LeAnn’s little dog Precious to a pet therapist. I was going to embed the sneak peak video, but no – you can see it here. It’s actually really, really funny to see LeAnn and Eddie struggle to “act naturally” through their rehearsed dialogue. So natural. So unaffected. #AllTheEmmys.
And in case you needed a palate cleanser after seeing a soaking wet LeAnn, here’s Eddie Vedder’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I love this video.

It is hard to believe they have not cancelled this mess of a show. I read they had something like 98,000 viewers in the key demo of 18-39 last week. I would venture to guess that infomercials have better ratings than that.
I think they'[re just playing it out since Leann paid for productions anyway, try to recoup or break even what they (VH1) lost, but they definitely won’t renew for a second season.
I highly doubt there was any talk whatsoever about doing a 2nd season.
That clip about the dog was soooo painful. These two buffoons really met on the set of a movie, where they were both actors?! Hard to believe.
Painful is a good description. They are both trying soooo hard to be cute and funny. I have so much second hand embarrassment from watching that.
If I was their dog I’d pray for a therapist.
If I were their dog, I’d pray to be dropped off at the shelter.
And to think, I almost missed the Eddie Vetter video by dodging the LeAnn post. Sneaky, Kaiser.
Man, I still would with Eddie Vedder. Like so, so hard too.
Ditto!
Get in line! I’m first, lol!
my thoughts exactly.
he’s just FINE.
ETA: did you see him on the “bad tattoo” skit on Portlandia? the gist was that Carrie was dating a guy with a bad Eddie Vedder tattoo and Carrie figured why not just date Vedder rather than a bad-tattoo version of him? so she goes on a date with him and Vedder’s got a similar bad tattoo of Ani DiFranco.
I’ll fight you for him! I’ve loved this man for 20+ years…
Love his video, its super cute to see his girls and I think his wife filmed it.
I met him at a party several years ago, and we had a lovely drunken conversation about our children. He is a very sweet and down to earth guy.
He is the hottest. Hands down.
It’s Eddie’s kids and he put them in it. It’s like he isn’t part of the equation I guess? He’s the dad. He’s in the video, and his kids are in the video. Blame him or consider it fine. Brandi posts pictures of her kids in underwear, and maybe he doesn’t agree. It’s not like these kids are hidden away by Brandi either. As much as I don’t agree with set-up pap shots and the kids being used, this was innocuous and cute, as far as I’m concerned. Just my opinion.
It’s the one time I think it was fine to have the kids involved, and the kids seemed to have a blast being involved.
And many low-level celebs I doubt are even donating or never mention it, which is the whole point, so I give her credit for keeping it about ALS. Read Steve-O’s commentary about this challenge, calling out celebs for not mentioning more about ALS when doing it and raising a lot more money because of it. I had been thinking the same thing and thought his post was on point.
Having given her credit for this, I read her series is tanking. LOL I never watched it after it first aired. That was enough for me, a show and a half. I guess no one cares about them anymore, her once-upon-a-time fans, general public nor haters. Shocker. Indifference is LeAnn’s greatest fear. She would even rather have the hate out there to keep her in the headlines.
She gambled on “haters” watching their sh** show which is laughable. What she failed to realize it is more entertaining reading the comments on these sites versus watching her fake reality. She’s not likeable or relatable. They are both dull on/off screen. No chemistry which is odd since they had an affair. If you read her timeline, she even brags about doing stuff to get the haters riled up. No one cares enough to watch their show, buy her music or support her concerts.
THEY ARE DONE!
Leann only uses the kids to promote Leann because everything she does looks fake. Eddie does it to get back at Brandi. I bet the kids did have fun pouring that bucket of ice on her and Mason especially. They are fake and the public sees them as such that is why their show is such a flop. Big time and low level celebrities have joined in. I read where Carrie Underwood donated $100,00 and Leann had the nerve to mention her measly 1,000. Brandi is their mother and like most mothers always will talk about and show her interest in her kids like most mothers do. She does not need a reason or try to get back at anyone.
There was NO ICE in that bucket and who knows possibly lukewarm water was in there instead. She lies about everything anyway. I’m just not buying her act.
If Leann gave the remotest of a crap she would have done the challenge 2 days earlier when she got challenged and laughed it off, while her assistant was almost telling people off for bugging her and Leann about doing it since it has to be done within 24 hours. They were ‘too busy”. Then Brandi did it, alone in a bat tub, then a couple hours later Leann had this all set up. She’s a liar and a desperate attention seeker.
Why is her mouth so weird when she talks? Legit question!
I’m only surprised that it wasn’t a white t-shirt.
OT: I have a facebook friend who did the challenge in a strapless white dress. to be fair, it looked like a beach cover up (soft and flowy) except that it had structured cups at the top, so clearly wasn’t meant to be worn with a bathing suit (or bra). and she had neither. TBT, I think she didn’t even have underwear on. and yes, it was all VERY see-through afterwards.
this girl is CONSTANTLY trying to maintain her “hotness” and has been that way since HS. she has to be the “hottest” at anything, even a charity meme.
I’m surprised she wasn’t in a bikini.
Ugghj Leann is so unfortunate to look at!!!
Her hair extensions are really a bad look – more like horse hair. She is trying to carry on the Brandi look once again. Just please go away Leann
Has anyone else noticed that since everyone was making fun of her ridiculous topknot hairdo, she now never wears it like that. Too bad she doesn’t pay attention to us telling her to just GO AWAY!!!
This was the edited version where the “breasticales” comment by the boys or Kiki was muted. So no, I don’t think she was wearing a bra.
THIS!
I won’t even watch LeAnn’s video, only came here for the comments. But I did read the post and really enjoyed Eddie Vedder’s video. And the comments.
Same here. The comments are always better than their LamE efforts of late.
Just waiting to see who gets blamed when the show is officially not offered a second season of air time. The ratings seem poorer than poor, even for that network.
It will always be Brandi’s fault–she didn’t respond to these two losers taunts like they hoped she would! Good for you, Brandi. Let them hang themselves with their own ropes!
The theme that’s ongoing with LeAnn and Eddie seems to be try hard and fail harder. Her ice bucket challenge was missing a key ingredient, ice and her tweets about it were literally filled with, me, me, me, my, my, my, I, I, I, so I guess congratulations should be in order, for once again. making everything about her. The scene from the show is so terribly awkward. Try as they might, they just aren’t cute. Together or separately. Question. What’s going on with Eddie’s eye? Was it always wonky like that, or is it something new? At any rate, she’s more unfortunate looking by the second and he’s aged 10 years in the last few. They don’t look like happy, content people at all.
She ignored the challenge for days. Then Brandi does hers and within the hour all of a sudden Leann is interested in doing it with “her boys.” Leann is nothing if not incredibly predictable.
Her whole timeline lately has been filled with talk of her stepmom duties, her boys, taunts to the “haters.” Oh you can bet Brandi being quiet and the absolute bomb of a ratings disaster is getting to her.
Supposedly she was too busy “touring” to do the challenge when it was made DAYS ago. Yeah, right!! They apparently don’t have ice and water in the hotels where ever she was! Oh maybe I should say they don’t have water there as there was no ice involved in LeakAnn’s Ice Bucket Challenge! Once again another lie in her life! (Maybe she was afraid she might melt like the Wicked Witch if water was thrown on her. She always gives me the impression that she doen’t bath regularly and her hair always looks like it needs shampoo applied! Now that she knows she won’t melt away maybe she will bath more often!) She only did it when she knew Brandi was going to do it!
LeAnn is beyond bathing and hygiene. She’s a HUGE #success and way too busy. She probably just gives herself a quick once over with some wet ones and is out the door.
@Deanne—And hopefully a shot of Fabreze!! Especially on those dirty stinky feet that she keeps in those smelly boots!!
@briargal And don’t forget a quick spritz of Summer’s Eve for date nights with Ed.
You’re right. There didn’t look like there was any ice in LR’s bucket, just water.
Eddie is so hot. And cool. Did I mention hot?
Oh yeah his fat ass, woman hips, receding hairline, wonky eye and all around douchiness is SO HOT. He looks rode hard and put away wet since marrying psycho.
He looks like he works hard for every penny….
LOL I think Jh meant Eddie Vedder.
He really has aged rapidly since meeting “the love of his life.” 😉
Having two Eddies in this post is confusing, but no doubt Vedder is the hot one referenced (I hope).
Yes I was referring to the douchebag Cibrian. if JH was referring to Mr Vedder then I do agree. Carry on! 🙂
Your description was excellent. Occasionally someone will say they find EC hot, and while I respect different opinions, I’m not seeing it. Personality counts, and this show and related interviews have shown how lacking he really is.
I feel shame for confusing my Eddie’s! One is cool, a rock pioneer, a thousand kinds of sex on toast and just generally a dreamboat. The other is Leann Rimes glorified towel boy.
have you guys seen Dave Grohl’s challenge?
http://youtu.be/XLZOjLv0_6k
Drink the water wewe…we all know how flipping THIRSTY you are.
LeAnn always makes everything about her. To her, it’s not about helping raise money for a horrible disease. It’s about promoting herself, and her step kids, and her old and ugly husband. How many other celebrities edited their ice bucket challenge video, and then close comments? Only LeAnn, one of the most disliked has beens out there.
Guess you don’t know but the whole world revolves around LeakAnn!! She is such a pathetic loser and has-been!!
I’d bet $$$$$ that if Brandi hadn’t done the challenge Leann wouldn’t have either.
Is it just me, or does LeAnn Rimes always look like her hair is greasy, she’s dirty and she smells bad?
It is not just you.
Definitely not you–LeakAnn does look stinky and dirty all the time–of course it could be her stench is coming from the ickly soul inside.
Or it could just be the residue that her leaking butt emanates.
@Deanne–So true!!!
The Ice Bucket challenge, what a great way to distract from low ratings. Instead of talking about how her show got less than 200,000 viewers on it’s last episode, the media is now talking about how charitable Leann is because she did the ALS challenge, donated twice(one in the name of the Cibrians and $1000 for her fans who did the challenge), and taught her bonus sons a lesson about charity. The scary thing about Leann’s Ice challenge is that she wasn’t interested in doing it until Brandi posted a video of herself doing the challenge and that Leann was so bent on outdoing Brandi’s video that she put Brandi’s kids in the video. Someone said that Leann was tagged on Friday. Why did she wait 2 days to do it? When people joked that Leann was waiting on Brandi to do it, I thought it was ridiculous. But Leann really was waiting for Brandi to do the Ice Bucket Challenge. Leann’s obsession with Brandi is getting scary. Every day Leann goes out of her way to bait Brandi, like yesterday with all the tweets about how she was preparing the boys for their first day of school. If Leann is happy being married to Eddie why does her life center on Brandi? Eddie’s life centers around Brandi. Eddie says that he is over Brandi, but based on Leann’s actions and need to be or outdo Brandi, Eddie is not over Brandi.
Leann also lied when she said that she didn’t know that she had 24 hours to do the challenge. She knew that she had 24 hours to do it because right after tweeting about the challenge she announced that she was donating to the ALS association in ‘her” family name, which is what happens when someone fails to do the challenge within 24 hours or decides not to do it. Leann’s Ice Bucket Challenge wasn’t about ALS, it was about Leann’s need to beat Brandi and to try to get people to watch her show.
What is also disturbing is how Leann turned the Ice Challenge into a big production. Leann just couldn’t do the challenge, she had to tweet about what she was going to wear, who was going to be in the video, how much she suffered because of the cold water, how much Brandi’s kids enjoyed dumping it on her, set up a staged photo-op of herself dressed like Brandi before doing the challenge, how much money she “donated”, and make excuses as to why Eddie refused to do the challenge. I wonder how many times they did Ice challenge before they got good footage. It took Leann a while to do the challenge and to post the video, she had to go shopping. Will the video end up on the VH1 website for her show since Eddie has stated that his kids are off limits?
The dog therapy is Eddie and Leann’s way of making fun of the therapy sessions they had with Brandi for Jake and Mason. You know, because their show is a comedy and satire. Since they couldn’t physically have Jake, Mason, and Brandi on the show, they used the dogs. Leann and Eddie make Brandi sign a confidentiality agreement, but they work their way around it by having the dogs take the place of Jake, Mason, and Brandi. I didn’t know that VH1 could be this insensitive and cruel.
Without Brandi–these two are sooooo irrelevant. Like I’ve said many times they are both pathetic losers and liars!! And up until the failure of a show, Eddie kept it pretty well hidden. But he is as much a loser and liar as LeakAnn.
The one good thing to come of the show is that it exposed Ed’s douchbaggery and made people more sympathetic to Brandi. Oh and also exposed their COMPLETE obsession with all things Brandi.
That’s a funny theory about the dogs. Not sure I completely agree but it’s a plausible theory because it does seem they are using that method. The pretend photogate on Twitter, IMO, was a dig at Brandi’s drunken night photos. It set her up to make all sorts of statements about caring for the boys, worrying about what they’ll see, etc. It makes no sense because she shows her a$$ all the time (in more ways than one). They even named the episode after Brandi’s book titles. They are creepily obsessed.
Where was the ice?
Exactly.
This royal f*cking bitch. Every time I think she has sunk as low as she will go, I am wrong! She and Eddie could have easily involved the two boys OFF CAMERA. We could have heard them laughing off camera and that would be enough. But not Leann and Eddie. No…they have to dig and dig and dig at Brandi. God Almighty.
Obviously it is KILLING them that Brandi has not uttered a word about their show, which should be called Bashing Brandi. Geez. I have never in my life wished a single person ill will. But I hope these two get what they deserve. Christ.
Im sorry it took an ALS challenge to get falcor into finally taking a shower.
And she let go of her phone for a few seconds! Progress???
Dear Mr Rimes,
Love your children more than you hate your ex wife.
Their show really does prove what a douche bag Eddie is. He’s worse than LeAnn. Now I understand why LeAnn is so obsessed with Brandi. Because Eddie is. They even made their show all about Brandi. Their hatred for Brandi is the thin thread that holds keeps them together. LeAnn and Eddie both need to let go of their obsession with Brandi and live a life that doesn’t center around her 24/7.
Someone commented on another site, that the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. Eddie Cibrian is not indifferent to Brandi in any way, shape or form. He’s exposed himself by doing this show, where she’s a running theme and a huge topic of conversation for him, with every one he talks to. HE brings her into the conversation constantly. LeAnn has got to be able to see this and it must make her nuts. This show has done the exact opposite of what she wanted. It’s confirmed that not only are they both awful people, obsessed with his ex, but that they have zero chemistry and he’s with her for her money. It must be killing her.
Deanne….AGREE! I think LeAnn’s insecurities stem from knowing he’s still in love with Brandi. That must wear her down daily. It shows on her face. 90% of their conversations privately are about Brandi. We all knew he was an a**hole but the show solidified it. We also know why LeAnn is obsessed with all things Brandi (plastic surgeries, injections, clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, cars, trips, gyms, restaurants, dentists, and children).
His demeanor seems to change when he talks about two topics — his long-ago career highlights or his ex. When he mentions either topic, he shows more energy when speaking. He doesn’t seem indifferent to his past.
If he could dial time back to the early 2000s, I think he would do it in a heartbeat. Would he ever admit that? Probably not.
@Christin–I agree with you! I bet he wishes he had never made that silly movie with LeakAnn so as to never have met her. Oh well, you reap what you sow! A little bit late now, Ediot!
@briargal — That is probably one role he wishes he had passed up. Or at least turned down her invitations to go out during filming.
I think he envisioned a little movie set fling that would end as soon as the director yelled cut. But Alex refused to be ignored.
On the topic of LeAnn and something that will give you a good laugh, check out her ” dance” instructor’s youtube videos. They explain why LeAnn moves the way she does. After viewing a couple of clips, my young daughter said ” Mommy, those are humiliatingly bad” .I recommend the 10 minute dance party one. Oh and LeAnn’s totally making her comeback at #70 on the itune dance album charts.
Just a couple comments…just had the thought there are three people in LR marriage alright..but it’s not Brandi, Leann and Eddie…it’s Kiki, Leann, and Eddie. She goes everywhere with them. She must be Leann’s brain or something. Can’t figure it out. Comical. Another thought is how can two people that appear so below the average intelligence level live so lavishly? I don’t know how she could have much old money left, he doesn’t make any and everything she has done last couple of years, being failure, has had to cost her more than she made. Mostly empty casino gigs and the occasional gay men’s cause performance must pay very well. On the ice challenge (hose water for her) she of course had to make a huge production and tweet als multiple times. She is so obnoxiously stupidly conceited and arrogant don’t know how her fans can stand her. All ten of her main twitter fans I mean.
