LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian Are Engaged! (For Real This Time)

And you know what? Despite prior claims that LeAnn was a homewrecker, and Eddie is still lurking in the closet somewhere, I’m happy for these two crazy assholes. HAPPY, do you hear? I don’t know if it’s from the excess alcohol over the holidays, or if that damned Mrs. Claus get-up finally won me over, but I’m rooting for these guys today, and I’m rooting for them hard.

LeAnn’s rep came forward last night and confirmed that boyfriend Eddie had popped the question over the holidays:

“Yes, they were engaged over the holidays and are very happy.”

And you know what? Despite the fact that both of them apparently have a fat lot of baggage from previous relationships (what with Cibrian being married to that shrew for so long and LeAnn getting married when she was fourteen or whatever), they do seem both super happy and in love.

The ring, of course, is a stunner – it’s a 5 carat oval diamond in a gold fleur-de-lis setting. Insiders say that the couple designed the ring together, so they both knew this day would come, it was just a matter of time.  (What, you think this couple would keep anything from each other, EVER?  Come on.) Check the honker of a ring out here:

But the really funny thing? I set my DV-R JUST last night* to record that movie that they were both in to see a pair of actors falling in love on screen – I mean, Angelina and Brad were the hotness in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so LeAnn and Eddie probably aren’t all that far off in … what the hell was the name of that movie? Right. Northern Lights. Got it.  Stoked about it.  Next up?  The Client List.

Anyway, congratulations to the newest engaged couple in Hollywood!

*In case you’re interested, it’s going to be on Lifetime on January 7th. I forget what time. Get some.

  • I don’t give a sh*t if they are happy. The only people who support them are people who have cheated on or cheated with someone who was taken. I wish them a lifetime of worry. Obviously they are marrying a cheater, good luck guys!

  • Couples in love don’t have to use media outlets like People mag or twitter accounts (ie- if she talks about her sex life with EC, then we have to believe that EC is not cheating on LR)to validate their love. Since Leann is tweeting 24/7 we all know that the only thing EC loves is Leann’s money. Why would Leann be tweeting 24/7 if all was well between her and Eddie?

    Come on, we all know that Eddie didn’t help Leann design a thing. He can’t even pay his child support and alimony, so how did he manage to pay for a ring?

    Didn’t Eddie’s ex wife also have a 5 carat ring? Isn’t that odd, why is Leann still in competition with Brandi if she has “won” Eddie and is so happy and in love with him?

    Of course they were engaged over the holidays, Leann wanted her engagement in close proximity to when Eddie proposed to his ex-wife. Now that is creepy. Why would Leann want her engagement date close to when BG and EC were engaged?

    What is up with the Brandi hate? So now she is a shrew?
