Last week, Life & Style reported that Eddie Cibrian was likely cheating on his girlfriend LeAnn Rimes with his other mistress, Scheana Marie Jancon. Eddie and Scheana had been sleeping together for a year or two – while he was still married to Brandi Glanville. Allegedly, Eddie dumped Sheana when he started having an affair with LeAnn. And now that his marriage to Brandi is over (and LeAnn is now his “girlfriend”), it would make some kind of sense (or poetic justice) for Eddie to begin cheating on LeAnn with his other mistress. It was a great, hilarious scoop by Life & Style, and most people greeted the report with a chuckle.

Many of us also thought that LeAnn would have Eddie trotting out for a photo-op very quickly. Well… we didn’t really get photos, but we did a glowing report about Eddie and LeAnn’s weekend activities (Vegas, baby). Not only that, Eddie had his lawyers threaten Life & Style with a lawsuit! Oh, this is so rich… I must refuse this delicious treat, I’m trying to diet! Oh, no, I must:

A rep for “CSI: Miami” star Eddie Cibrian says Life & Style Magazine has crossed the line by claiming he’s cheating on LeAnn Rimes — and he’s going to take them to court.

Cibrian’s rep released a statement: “Unfortunately Life & Style Magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales, but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others. This is irresponsible and reckless journalism. Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It’s a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding.”

On Thursday, the magazine reported Cibrian recently started “seeing” an ex-girlfriend. Life & Style claimed Cibrian was bragging about hooking up with a “different” girl while shooting “CSI: Miami” in Florida, but the CBS series tapes in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

I know I wasn’t the only one who was rooting for a shout-out of our fan favorite, the “unfair fishbowl”. It would have been so easy to throw an “unfair fishbowl” into the mix with that statement too. Instead, we get the weird wording of “face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding”. If I was nit-picking, I would mock “untruthful”, but I don’t have the heart for it. Now, onto to Las Vegas! People Magazine reports that LeAnn brought Eddie out for a little fun and relaxation… and pole dancing. Yes, LeAnn works the pole. Dry. Heave.

Problems? What problems?

Following a report earlier this week that Eddie Cibrian had been spending time with another woman – an allegation Cibrian has strenuously denied – the CSI: Miami hunk and his girlfriend, LeAnn Rimes, showed up at a nightclub Friday night after Rimes’s concert in Las Vegas for a little fun, relaxation – and pole dancing.

Observers spotted the carefree-seeming couple in the VIP section of XS nightclub, where they talked, laughed and knocked back tequila drinks. Though they stayed at the venue inside the Encore Resort for only 20 minutes, there was time enough for a PDA.

“They were making out at the table and didn’t really care who saw them,” a source says. Rimes, 27, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress, even danced on one of the club’s stripper poles before leaving just after midnight, the source said.

Cibrian, 36, filed for divorce last August from his wife, Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two sons. Fans will recall that after murmurs of trouble in their marriage, the pair were caught by the cameras last spring as they stepped out for a night of togetherness – at a Las Vegas night club.

Ugh. Of course. So predictable. I bet LeAnn is pissed she couldn’t arrange for some paparazzi to “catch” them dancing. I do have to note one thing though – People Magazine seems to be dangerously close to calling Eddie on some of his bullsh-t, don’t they? The last paragraph seems like People’s version of “they’re just doing it for damage control because everyone knows he can’t keep it in his pants”. Which he is and we do know that. It’s nice that People is showing a brief moment of skepticism.
