14 DAY TRIAL // LeAnn Rimes’ much-derided reality series on VH1, featuring her husband Eddie Cibrian as well, is officially over. Ratings for the season finale were disappointing enough to justify you nurturing hope that it might not come back on air at all, but don’t expect LeAnn to quietly go away.
In fact, she wrote a song about the season finale, if you can believe it. She did this before too, penning music inspired by tabloid stories presented on various episodes of LeAnn & Eddie, so this isn’t such a huge surprise.
The fact that she keeps at it is.
I’ve been covering celebrities for years but rarely have I seen one to invite and thrive on drama like LeAnn, even at those times when she bitterly professes that she’s not inviting drama in her life at all.
She has a very good voice and has had an enviable career since she was just a kid. However, she played her affair and then marriage to Cibrian the wrong way by using the victim card, and it’s about time she learned that continuing to use it would only attract more negative attention than before.
Penning songs about stories you feature on your reality show, stories you claim that are made up or the real deal depending on how it’s more convenient to you, invites even more ridicule, and at the same time, chips away at your credibility as an artist.
Does LeAnn have good pipes? Absolutely! Did I laugh and cringe as she yodeled her way through a song that I could barely understand what it was about? Oh, absolutely! How about you?
