Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes at LAX last night. She arrived home (to LA) after spending a few days in London, where she performed in Hyde Park. I’m sorry, London. I’m sure LeAnn’s yodels haunted your dreams that night. LeAnn’s Instagram is littered with photos from London too – she brought Eddie and they seem to have done some sightseeing. As for LeAnn’s outfit in these photos… CB and I were recently bonding over the comeback of ‘90s fashion, and CB confessed that she found an old-school pair of ‘90s mom jeans at a thrift store and she bought them. That’s what LeAnn’s outfit reminds me of – it’s not that she’s wearing mom jeans (button-fly mom jeans?!), and I’m sure fashionistas would call these “boyfriend jeans” or some such nonsense. But this is the kind of sh-t we wore in the ‘90s, down to the black tank and long, silky shirt-jacket. And I feel both nostalgic and creeped out.
LeAnn has been promoting her Christmas album… from last year. The album was Today Is Christmas and I guess LeAnn just wants some of that Christmas money. Just this week, she announced a 12-city tour throughout December, and she’s calling it her 2016 Today Is Christmas Tour, which isn’t clunky at all. The tickets go on sale on Friday, because it’s never too early to celebrate Christmas, especially in September. LeAnn released a statement:
“With everything that is going on in the world, I think we could all benefit from a little Christmas cheer this year. I love being able to celebrate my favorite holiday with all of my fans singing along to Christmas classics and some of my new originals.”
That’s enough to make me a LeAnn Holiday Truther. Is Christmas really her favorite holiday? What about Independence Day? What about Easter? What about Valentine’s Day? What about Halloween? I demand the truth about LeAnn’s favorite holiday!
Last thing – someone tweeted this to me. LeAnn is charging her fan-club members extra for meet-and-greets. Girl, you should just be happy you have fans.
@KaiseratCB did you see that LeAnn Rimes is charging $250 to fan club members for meets and greets at her concerts? pic.twitter.com/TMegYGtumA

I see young people (as in people under 25) wearing the 90s fashion and I’m like “haha, these kids”. Isn’t Leanne around 33 (which is my age also)? I don’t know… considering I lived through 90s fashion, the resurgence has no appeal to me besides amusement at seeing my young cousins in some of the same cuts and styles I wore as an awkward teen.
I’m not about to go back there myself! Curious to hear what other ladies my age think: do you want to return to your 90s ways or do you just enjoy seeing younger ladies discovering it for the first time?
I honestly have no desire to re-try most of the fashion from the 90’s (as I said to CB below, lol).
I’m going to be 40 in a few weeks so I remember it very clearly; most of it was awful. I know fashion is cyclical but some “new” trends just leave me baffled nowadays. The one trend that I can tolerate today is the return of the choker, but that’s because I have a long neck and think I can pull it off, heh. And maybe if Docs come back too, because I loved my old burgundy ones. Aside from those two things, I am not hopping on this fashion bandwagon!
Docs are everywhere in Italy right now! The only 90s throwback that matters!
I like some of the 90s fashion. The skinny strap dresses over T-shirts and brown lipstick. But that’s about it.
I don’t think Docs “came back”. They’ve always been popular, just like Converse.
Docs, Converse, and Birkenstocks are all back, I noticed. I know what Locke is saying that they are kind of timeless, classic brands but they definitely go up and down in terms of popularity.
Agree with Patricia 100% that I have ZERO desire to revisit 90s fashion.
Docs please but no Gap blazers thanks.
Oh man my purple Docs were Everything!😂
Kitten – I feel like Birks were always in. When I was in high school 04-08 EVERYONE had them.
I’ll be 39 in December…I have mixed feelings about this ’90s stuff. I think the best approach to any throwback fashion is to go a la carte, but no one is going to get me to like mom jeans.
Cheers! I’ll be 38 in December 😀
Are you a Cap?
@kitten I’m a Cappie! Jan.7 I’ll be 41!
YES! I knew I liked you, Little Darling 😀
Mom jeans are totally 80s. I dont mind 90s fashion, except for the damn gypsy sleeves. They get in the way of everything.
I admit to a nostalgic love of my old bodysuits.
Daisy duke’s and slight flares were way more popular at my school in the early – mid 90’s. So I sort of never noticed this high waist style, which I am grateful for.
But I loved those grunge/early 90’s dresses and when I got rid of the last of them in my early 20’s, I realized it was a huge mistake because many of them were timeless and quite flattering compared to what was going on in the late 90’s/2000’s.
After years of looking, I now have a good stockpile of vtg early/mid 90’s dresses, the long maxi kind with florals mostly, but they are a bit more mature – not exclusively high school, but something a woman in her 20’s or 30’s would have worn back then as well. I honestly like them because they are simple and classic and could be worn in any era.
So I am going for things I wouldn’t have probably rated very high the first time around as I was wearing strictly teen and then alternative fashion. But it has to be pre-95 for me.
Never again with the denim flower applique hats (thanks mum), but I appreciate grunge being more easily accessible since I never really let it go. I love my ripped jeans and docs and flannel shirts.
MY MOM JEANS ARE CUTER THAN THIS (and cleaner). Plus they are not button fly and I don’t roll them up at the cuffs ffs.
IDK, just the fact that the words “mom jeans” and “cute” are in that one sentence has me baffled, lol. I lived through 90’s fashion and have no desire to do it again. 😛
I think LeAnn’s jeans would be considered boyfriend jeans, not mom jeans. And of course your jeans are cuter!
When you say “mom jeans” I have images of high waisted Brenda Walsh jeans that the kids seem to be wearing, like Kendall Jenner. When you say “boyfriend jeans” I think loose fitting waist hangers that Jenny Aniston seems to favor.
This outfit looks like a hybrid between Brenda Walsh/TLC crazy sexy cool.
Ha thanks! I haven’t worn them yet though because in my heart I know that they’re fug, but they were $4.
That’s what I was thinking. These are boyfriend jeans. Baggy, shapeless, and the crotch hangs way too low. Usually worn cuffed. Mom jeans are high waisted, tight around the hips and the legs taper at the perfect unflattering angle for everyone. Like those jeans Jessica Simpson wore way back when people were like “omg she’s fat”. (Which she wasn’t.)
That’s so cute you wanted to clarify your mom jeans. 🙂
I have old pants from the 90’s, my favourite green ones (don’t judge). I can’t wear them though, they feel all weird coming up so high.
They are clean too, though.
They have to be cleaner than that mess up top. What’d she do? Roll around in mud?
She scarfed a bag of peanuts and used her jeans as a napkin. Class act.
I don’t think Leann is a very clean person, so wearing dirty clothes is natural for her. Even idiot looks dirty half the time. Wonder if they paid the water bill?
They’re not officially Mom Jeans if they don’t have an elastic waistband. Just sayin.
Elastic waistband? Those are Mom Has Given Up Jeans. And ashamedly I may have a pair somewhere, to wear under an oversized tunic.
I think those are grunge-laden men’s jeans. Boyfriend jeans are usually cut a little better, right?
I made the mistake of zooming in on her jeans and they are FILTHY. That’s just gross. Wash your pants, girl. So not cute.
worst part of the jeans is that they’re dirty.
Filthy.
So gross- but then I wouldn’t expect any less from this dolt.
Because Eddie wore them last and he’s a dirty dog!
If she wore those dirty, aged looking sneakers she repeatedly wore in the summer, I’d be convinced she fell in a mud puddle.
She paid over $700 for those sneakers.
These jeans are probably just as ridiculously priced.
Charging her fans to pay for soap now. Leann was clean and healthy when married to Dean, she looks like a drug user now., just saying.
Totally agree. The dirty jeans don’t fit the “look” she is going for, so it’s just gross.
They fit the bill when you are broke. Her grungy look is so outdid, she is no style icon, she copies everything she does. Look around, others have done this and moved on from it.
I still love Docs tho. 🙂
I see lots of 90’s fashion on kids right now. I am awaiting the return of flannel and Doc’s however. I have many pairs of Doc’s that need a re-wear and I am stoked about not doing my hair, ha!
I also believe that I had this outfit in the 90’s, with cleaner jeans.
Flannel and docs are already “back”. Go for it.
Oooooooo. They aren’t here yet, maybe I’ll be the fashion forward one for a change! 😀
If flannels and Docs were ever out, someone for forgot to tell my closet. I’ve been shamelessly rockin’ 90s fashion since the 90s. But not the jeans. I love mid-rise slim cut jeans.
I have a huge Doc collection that I wear occasionally and have had for years. I love to wear them when I travel.
Most of my jeans are a low rise, slim or boot cut. Silver makes ones that actually fit me properly.
I don’t think Docs ever go out of style…for me, they’re the ‘little black dress’ of foot wear. But I live in (clean) jeans and t-shirts, so my style choices probably aren’t very up to date.
They never really left. They’re just trendy again. I say if you like it, wear it. I’m always happy when my favorite clothing becomes trendy because then you can stock up on different styles and colors.
My husband and I dusted off an old episode of Melrose Place (because we happened to flip by it on cable TV, I just had to explain that) and the first thing we did was shout in unison: “OH MY GOD THE JEANS!!!” The jeans were so high-waisted they were up around everyone’s nipples. I just canNOT. No, no, no, no, no. No.
Right? Same for me with Beverly Hills 90210, Brenda Walsh had jeans permanently up! Awful.
Yep, 90210 called, they want their zip code back…and LeAnn here wants her limelight back, poor Brandi probably still wants her husband back, Eddie most likely wants a job back, I want the bloody 90s to give me the eyebrows that never grew back in back, so much need for Doc’s time machine.
I have a confession to make; I love high-waisted jeans. The below your navel ones create an unfortunate muffin top.
Me too! I need to hold my belly fat in 😀
Not the really high waist. Mid-level
I live for Madewell’s high waisted jeans! They are the best!
When you are skin and bones, they give the illusion of a figure.
Agreed!
In total agreement here! They work better than some ‘magic slimmers’ (cringe!)
Why are her jeans so dirty for? Looks like they need a wash.
The jeans look like they need to trashed – they are tragic.
Meet and greet some detergent
@rays kirt: You are killing me with these comments! Bahaha!
I rewear my jeans multiple times before washing them but I have never walked around in such dirty clothes. Maybe if this pic was taken while she was gardening it would make more sense.
Just looks like she fell
This actually made me laugh out loud. As she picks herself up from out of the mud and forges on undeterred or troubled by the fact that her jeans could stand up by themselves.
Looks like she rolled a mechanic for those jeans, they’re gross.
That made me laugh!!
Awww, I’m super nostalgic for the 90s, I loved them for a lot of things….not so sure about the fashion though. I could get with some of the prints (large sunflowers) and chokers, but not mom jeans…Ugh. Makes me think of early Friends episodes and their crazy high jeans!! Yuck. I don’t remember silky duster jackets though?? And those SHOES!!! UGH, Leann, they’re atrocious!
LeAnn wears Milli Vanilli pretty well — they were all about the silky dusters, weren’t they?
Oh, wow! It’s been a while since we’ve had a Leann article!
I didn’t miss her.
I wondered why a LR post already had 30-plus comments. Then I realized the comments were about 1990s fashion. LOL
Coming soon — The 1990s Fashion Revival Tour, starring LR. “Just as bad now as then, for those who don’t remember”
Talking about the 90’s clothes get better coverage than a homewrecker. She failed again in her “new, used music”.
I have mixed feelings about the 90s comeback: confusion, fear, amusement, joy. The long jacket/shirt she’s wearing bothers me much more than the jeans, which are fine minus the dirtiness.
I hate chokers. I don’t like how they look on other people most of the time and I can’t wear them because I hate having stuff tight around my neck. Love lace up boots though. Mixed on the high waist jeans- don’t know if I’ll buy any myself but I work near a high school and those girls really look great in high waisted jeans (especially the shorts). Almost great enough to make me consider it.
This may draw scorn but as very low-riding jeans have been kind of a skimpy nightmare for me and my mom curves, I’m a bit relieved to see the waistline creeping higher and a little “give” in that area. Of course, it would be easiest to have the waist fit where the waist really tends to be, but fashion goes to extremes.
Yeah @who are these people, I totally feel you. I hate low rise jeans. I don’t need my crack showing when I bend over to pick up my toddler. I like a nice medium rise. I think a super high rise can end up making your butt look weird, like a weirdly long flat situation. But I like them high enough that I don’t have to constantly pull them up
Agreed. I have the body shape of a barely pregnant lady. I am not pregnant with more than my refusal to completely give up wheat.
Super high waisted makes my levan baby pop enough that I’m scared people will ask when I’m due, and low rise does the same. I want mid-rise to squish everything down. And no more bell bottoms or flares. I lived through that nonsense once, I don’t want to again. Also flares go skinny, but skinnies don’t tailor back to flares =(
I’d love the return of flares. The 90’s flares I used to have had plenty of room in the hips and thighs, and I haven’t been able to find them since. They were so flattering to my figure. Skinny jeans are so rarely cut for my figure. I’m reduced to boot cuts. Having long legs doesn’t help. For some reason the idea that you can be tall, with wide hips, large thighs and a small waist is foreign to many clothing designers. It’s usually pick two.
all I can see is filthy looking baggy jeans….
…….and the pap thirsty woman wearing them
Uh dear god no. 90’s fashion was not good and no part of that hot mess needs to be brought back. Except maybe flannel. I will never not love flannel in the winter. My girlfriend is a stylist and when I started seeing the “new fall fashions” she was posting I just laughed. All kinds of 90’s realness.
I’m a super boring in my clothing taste(or classic😉) , so I tend to not care what crazy things are in style. If I’m not wearing yoga type stuff I wear skinny jeans(med rise all the way) and one of the 800 black or grey shirts I own pretty much every day. somehow keep buying the same shirt over and over again. Or a slight variation. But to my husband they all look the same lol.
Maybe Leann bought them at Goodwill where you can fill a bag for 50 cents.
She looks like she hasn’t showered in days, gross! I’m not surprised she’s charging so much and tricking her fans, but the amount is insane! She’s not Carrie Underwood or Taylor for crying out loud, she’s a D-list performer who hasn’t had a hit in ages and she’s basically charging $300 bucks?!!
She is so delusional to think more than a handful of people would pay that kind of cash to meet her. Hell, I would pay it for her to stay clear of me. She looks like a walking disease.
Leann doesn’t think, she needs money, so she will continue to scam and sell trinkets to the losers who buy into her game. I would be so ashamed if I did that to what few fans I had left. Casino gigs don’t pay bills.
Especially when your husband likes to gamble.
Carrie’s fan club membership is $25, and includes a t-shirt and backpack. She does drawings for meet and greet opportunities. Kenny Chesney has a free basic membership, or you can upgrade for $25.
Maybe higher list performers can afford to give cheaper fan club options. 😉
I think a lot of musicians charge extra for fan meet and greets, which is greedy and ridiculous, unless it’s going to charity…which most fans can’t afford anyway, so they’re catering to rich fans. I am a huge lifelong Barry Manilow fan, and I would dearly love to meet him, but the $1000 he charges for a meet and greet (you see him briefly along with other paying fans after the concert, get a glass of champagne, he says hi, and you get a picture with him, then on your merry way) ain’t never gonna happen. (And I have paid hundreds of dollars going to his concerts over the years.)
Does LeAnn even have fans interested enough to pay for meet and greets?
Those prices are ridiculous for a ‘hello’ and an autograph/photo opp. I guess that’s how once-popular singers make a living.
I think she may have a couple of true-blue fans who might be willing to sacrifice a month’s worth of groceries to help her not have to work more than a few days a year.
Probably only the ones are welfare or SSI who can scrap the bucks and not pay their bills. Some of her fans live with their parents and spend their money buying country’s crap and other singers crap. Buying this stuff keeps them broke and Leann pushes this at them. She should encourage her fans to save their money and handle their money for their future. People that have full time jobs should not be living with parents, and the ones on welfare should get jobs. imo
Charging for a meet and greet? She really is a tool, isn’t she?
How many pics do the few fans need? Man, have you seen her fans? Most need to lose weight, wash their hair and clothes. Ewww, it makes me puke.
HAHAHAHAA!!! I have missed Leann!!
Where you been hidin’ the crazy, girl???
A lovely break from a Kardashian and Taylor Swift…yay!!
The 90’s were when she peaked, so no doubt she’d like them to come back. Bad fashion attempt aside, when I see these photos of her, I get a mental image of Pig-Pen from the Peanuts. She looks really dirty and unwashed. Those jeans are so filthy, they look like they could stand up on their own. Maybe she can use some of her fan club money to buy shampoo, soap and laundry detergent. The new fan club fees are causing quite a stir among her diehards. One is making a spectacle of herself over her inability to pay the $250 for meet and greets. It’s actually quite sad. Allowing fans to think that they are your friend, expecially when they are obviously immature and unstable, is cruel.
She’s reminding me of a female Cobain wannabe here. Though Pigpen is also a good description.
I don’t understand paying a large sum to see a performer. My added concern in this case is the risk of going to the extra trouble and time of traveling to one of her out of the way concert stops, and she cancels.
Totally get the Cobain thing. He didn’t like washing his hair either..
Where are you reading this, Deanne?
The uber fan has a Twitter account mostly dedicated to LeAnn , a Youtube channel that includes videos of her ‘unpackaging’ cd’s etc., listening to LeAnn’s music and crying and complaing about various issues. People often refer to her as #footgirl. She was really in a state yesterday about why her $50 dollar Family membership, which is the most expensive, doesn’t include meet and greets and was quite distressed. When I first became of aware of her I assumed she was a teenager, but she’s actually in her mid to late 20’s. She tweets LeAnn constantly, telling her she loves her, asking for hugs and begging for freebies. It’s sad and disturbing. LeAnn doesn’t have a large fanbase and the ones she does have are loyal to the core and really extend themselves financially to support her. This must be crushing for them, as they believe she is their personal friend and cares for them. Realizing that they’ll be paying $250 to see a friend isn’t going over well.
She has a video channel? Oh my.
I made the mistake of checking out the fan club fee posts, and saw some bizarre posts and photos of her foot.
Leanne is a jerk. That $50 was probably a lot for her few fans and now she is trying to milk them for another $250? What an asshat.
ETA: The uber fan must be really upset about the $250. She has pretty much scrubbed her Twitter of Leann and now it is all about Jason Aldean.
@Tate Actually she’s also got a Twitter account dedicated to her other adultery loving idol, Jason. Her LeAnn fan Twitter account is as desperate and obsessive as always. She even told LeAnn she loves her today and is asking about meet and greets with her. She spends a huge amount of money on concert tickets, memorabilia, fan club memberships, etc. I’m sure she’ll pester her way into a meet and greet. She has begged and pleaded with LeAnn’s ‘assistant’ and Darrell Brown in the past as well. She’s very emotionally stunted and tantrums like an overgrown child when she’s ignored.
@Deanne Seriously??? Wow, that is crazy!!
@Christin The foot photos and video really are a treat, aren’t they?
One fan on Facebook was talking about how she deserves that money and people shouldn’t be upset at the cost, it’s truly unbelievable how delusional these people are, meanwhile she’s eating up their grocery money to keep Eddie around. Plus I’m pretty sure she’s charged a ton in the past and didn’t deliver anything extra then just shut it down. It’s sad really.
There is a long history of this crzy4leannrimes fan. She literally said one time that Leann is the only one who saved her life after all her heart surgeries and also INSISTS that she can cure her migraines (which is also a pile of cr**.) Leann is her “love” and loves her more than anyone. She has an EXTREME and I mean EXTREME crush on her.
She has bragged that she has over 600 pieces of Leann memorabilia in her bedroom; even going so far as to having a cup of sharpies indicating the exact ones Leann signed all he dozens and dozens of autographs for her. However, the woman doesn’t have enough money to move out of her parent’s house because of her Leann, Dale Jr. , Jason Aldean memorabilia habit, and also spending copious amounts of money on stickers, junk food, DVDS and CDs.
The 26 year old follows LR’s every move to the point she sits on the internet all day (even at work) looking for the latest updates. She also does days of “count downs till she meet Leann. She has been begging every single week for Leann to come to Wisconsin and becomes very upset when there is a mention that Leann is appearing somewhere and it is not near her.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that she has been put under anesthesia at least 26 times for various surgeries (thuds possibly sustaining some sort of arrested brain development), missing out on a good number of months out of her childhood each year recovering in the hospital, and being hopelessly spoiled by her parents, she has developed some very disturbing patterns of behavior that I am sure seriously rub people the wrong way.
She is EXTREMELY histrionic to the point where she goes on the internet to cry hysterically over way too many things, and even made a video to her haters passing gas because it was her way of saying F-U to them. She also made a “reaction” video to Leann’s song “Story”and looked positively orgasmic while listening to it. It is way too creepy even for me to watch.
Oh, I could go on, but I’ll let people chomp on this for awhile.
She’s not passing gas, she’s singing one of LeAnns’s song’s.
Not liking the dirty jeans! Ah the 90s. Guess I need to resurrect my black tights, cut offs and docs. Not.
Clothes, hell… WTF happened to her face? She looks like one of the 80s metal rocker men. His name escapes me at the moment.
David Lee Roth, perhaps? Sammy Hagar? Janice from Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem (Muppets’ rock band)?
It’s Janice! Actually, when I just clicked through again, she’s giving me Ted Nugent vibes. Yikes.
I’m actually more worried about her “footwear” here…. like a cloggy version of those cowboy-shaped ankle boots that were popular in the 90s too. ugh ugh ugh.
I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for a pair of Mary-Jane style Doc Martins I used to own back then. They were navy blue and dark green and I wore them almost everywhere. Should I happen to find them, instead of wearing them I should leave them back in the 90s where they belong, right?
Yes, bring on the 90’s.
OK whats with the DIRTY PANTS. The 90’s pants weren’t dirty with oil stains and dirt marks all over them. That’s just Leann being the pig that she is!! YUCK. Does she ever take a bath. Always looks like she never baths. Looks like she smells something awful.
LeAnn has been busy with her new CD Remnants. Unfortunately the first two singles has not been hits.
The CD will be released in late October.
Maybe I’ve missed something, but has this latest record promotion been somewhat disjointed? Seems like the releases, video and appearances are a bit haphazard.
It’s all over the place, she is done in the US and now her UK few fans are seeing the REAL Leannn. If I wanted a singing future, I would never team up with her.
There is a deluxe album version or something she’s pitched this week that has caused confusion among her FB fans who already pre-ordered. At the same time, she’s pitching new fan club packages and announcing a holiday ‘tour’.
I also don’t understand how it is financially beneficial to ‘tour’ the way she does (makes little geographic sense).
Forget the dirty jeans – what’s up with old mates face? She looks way worse than she usually does…what is with this chick? Plus those shoes make Garners usual hideous nana sandals look elegant 😂
I know this thread is old, but the poor uber fan is now on her fourth day of trying to figure out how to get a meet and greet with LeAnn. She’s not able to grasp the concept and accept the reality, that she has to pay $250, each and every time, if she wants to get her hug fix from her saviour and bestie. LeAnn can’t give her what she wants and make her other fans pay for it. She’s counting down the days to a concert that is almost three months away. I’m sure the begging will ramp up, the closer the concert gets. She’s expressing her unhappiness with the situation by blaming the company running the fan club, rather than LeAnn herself. The level of denial is huge.
Her career is below d-list at this point if she still interacts with fans who behave this way.
In all honesty, I think it’s really irresponsible of her. This young woman is basically an overgrown infant. She’s clearly not mature or intelligent enough to understand that she’s not actually LeAnn’s friend. I seriously could see her acting out to the point of self harming if LeAnn doesn’t make an exception for her. It seems that many of LeAnn’s fans delude themselves into believing she is interested in them and their lives, not realizing she enjoys the idol worship, but is still going to make them fork out $300 for the honour of being in her presence.
I completely agree it’s taking advantage. The whole situation seems dysfunctional.
I still can’t get @Jane’s summary out of my mind. Sounds like a movie script.
