I don’t listen to country music and I wasn’t going to give a hoot that LeAnn Rimes cheated on her husband Dean Sheremet until a friend of mine said “Ugh, all I’ve read about her for the past few years is how happy her marriage is and family values and whatever.” Which, given my line of work, got my attention.
So now I will provide a sampling of tracks from LeAnn’s legendary Marital Bliss tour. This is like iTunes, but with adultery.
AP: What is your formula for a happy marriage?
Rimes: We laugh a lot together. We really do. He travels a lot with me so we do spend a ton of time with each other. We are just one of those fortunate couples who can spend a lot of time with each other and not kill each other. I don’t know what the secret is but we are just really, really happy. We get each other.
“Writing is a very intimate experience,” Rimes said, “so I have to be comfortable enough with my co-writers to let down my walls. When writing with Dean, there is an immense sense of security and familiarity. We complement each other very well, each picking up where the other leaves off. We’re constantly pushing the other further. It’s nice to have a relationship of complete honesty.”
There’s another secret to the stability of their marriage: her stubbornness. “I knew people were just waiting for me to self-destruct because that’s what happens,” Rimes said. “And I have that competitive edge to me that I wanted to prove people wrong. Fame and fortune really do strip a lot of things away from you for a little while. It did me. There’s a sense of reality that’s completely stripped from you, and I’ve clawed my way back from that. I wanted to get that back. I think it’s because I wanted it so badly, I have a good balance now. It’s nice to be able to look back and know that I’ve accomplished so much and be thankful for it, but I know there’s so much more left to accomplish. I feel like I’m just beginning with this record.”
The BLUE singer will celebrate five years of marriage to DEAN SHEREMET on 23 February (07), calling the union “the biggest accomplishment” of her life, and she claims moving from Hollywood to Nashville helped give her and Sheremet a fighting chance at making it work. She says, “We lived in LA for a while and then we moved to Nashville about four years ago and I think getting out of LA, even though I love it so much… I think getting away from all the hoopla… was good for our relationship.”
“We wanted to remember how blessed we are, and how excited we still are about each other.”
Need I continue?

“This is like iTunes, but with adultery.”
Funniest thing I’ve read all day. And I can’t be arsed about country music, but this is disappointing. It’s always disappointing when someone who’s spent time and column inches going on and on (and on and frigging ON) about her happy marriage, gets caught fishin’ in someone else’s pond. To be utterly folksy about it.
I just have to quote Barenaked Ladies . . . “I’m hot like LeAnn Rimes, because I’m all about value!”
I think the juxtaposition of “LeAnn Rimes” and “Barenaked Ladies” may just blow a blood vessel for me, over here. BLEAGGGH.
She was probably trying to convince herself that she had a happy marriage when she spewed all that crap. I would bet that this guy isn’t the first she’s dallied with. This is hilarious. I can’t wait for her to be epically dumped by both parties, which is exactly what she deserves.
Do I smell alimoney?? After all he has to be paid to live in the life style he has become accustomed to.
The rumor is his sexual preferences are in question as is. Isn’t it always the ones who protest too much are often the ones who get caught with their hands in the cookie jar?
How original that it was her cheating instead of him. And I agree, Chronic: double dump will be spectacularly deserved.
Yeah, Kristine. People who don’t have the gonads to tell their partner that they would rather get their jollies elsewhere and then go behind their backs don’t deserve anyone.
Yeah, I tend to think she needs the Meg Ryan treatment: Get caught poaching, and get two sets of walking papers, from both hubby and Other Guy. Suitable for framing!
Interesting that Habana would bring up Barenaked Ladies, considering Steven Page’s recent marriage issues.
Dude, her husband is SOOOO GAAAAAY.
Other Guy is married too…
Well, that opens up whole new worlds of smackdown possibilities, now, doesn’t it?
New vistas, ahoy!
Cheating on your husband is bad enough but wrecking somebody else’s marriage while you’re at it is doubly-despicable. What a slut. Maybe for her next album she can cover “Her Cheatin’ Heart.”
Strawberry Girl, I’d bet “Cat Scratch Fever” would be more appropriate.
The questions beggs “How many straight guys do you know that are makeup artist, hair stylist, and occasional backup dancer?”
I don’t know anything about Grimes’ husband to say whether I even think he is straight or gay, but if you are in a marriage of convenience, and it is understood between both partners that they can have side dishes, it’s tacky to flaunt it around, as well as disrespectful.
That the other guy is married just makes it all worse.
You can take the girl out of the trailer park but, well, you know…..
What’s funny is the two are co-starring in a made for Lifetime movie and this story could well become a made for Lifetime movie.
Life is simply remarkable and people moreso sometimes.
May be her husband blackmailed her into saying all those things, you know, threatening to expose his gayness and all, unless she keeps insisting in every interview that he’s the s**t. “Bitch, you tell them I’m the man or I’ll come out of the closet George Michael-style!” Ah, the married bliss…I wonder what country music fans’ thoughts on homosexuality might be…
Nati, I just nearly choked on my toast with “Bitch, you tell them I’m the man or I’ll come out of the closet George Michael style!”
I was thinking about it, though. OK, not like I was pondering it late into the night and lost sleep over it or anything. I just had the thought. It would make no sense for her to marry some guy to have to hide that he’s gay. Who the hell is he? A back up dancer that is probably only well known around his house at dinner time. It makes no sense.
It would make more sense, sticking with the gay theory, if he realized/accepted that he was gay after making the mistake of getting married and they want to cover it up so that it doesn’t tarnish her country cred, but how much country cred can anyone have when they have a back up dancer to begin with? Ah, there was a time when country was really country, and it was good, but the last twenty years have been a joke… but I digress.
I don’t think Grimy’s husband is gay. If he were, he would not have let her leave the house with those freakish eyebrows of hers. And it doesn’t add up.
She’s just bumping uglies with another married individual because she’s a heartless slut.
CM, for real–”well known around his house at dinner time” made me larf, as did “bumping uglies”, largely b/c the term has whole new dimensions when applied to Rimes.
Awwww, thanks Beige.
I had forgotten that LeAnn Rimes even existed.
Pasta, I hope you enjoyed that bliss while it lasted.
awww, Chronic, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cause the choking lol. I simply assumed I’d be the only actually laughing at what I wrote. Laughing at my own joke…how very sad. Anyway…I’ll try to warn you next time. It would be nice if we could insert little warning signs here, like “jokes ahead”…or smth like that, you know, the way we insert the smileys.
I don’t know whether her husband is gay or straight. I don’t know who he is and I didn’t even know she was married…I just sort of went along with other commenters’ assumption that he was gay…May be he is, may be he’s not. I wouldn’t know. That picture above just broke my gaydar.
“I had forgotten that LeAnn Rimes even existed.”
Some of us are still stickin’ with that theory.
LOL, Nati. It’s okay, the joke is always worth the choking unless it’s fatal, in which case I will haunt you by jumping out from behind corners and shouting, “Googalabibbida!”
I read today on Dlisted that some supposed relative of his named Pebbles called into a radio show and said that everyone knows he’s gay and has been since high school. Rimes and her husband who breaks gaydars denied having a relative named Pebbles, Fred, Wilma, or Bam Bam. So who knows?
If he is and she’s nothing but a beard, then not only should he have his gay license revoked for allowing her to have eyebrows like that, but she should have had a bit more class with her side dish and not sucked each others fingers and faces in public.
If he’s not gay, she’s a whore.
Either way, the side dish is a boy-skank.
I had forgotten LeAnn Rimes existed too, actually. I always hated her music, though, so it was easy to do.:P
Chronic, may be her eyebrows were a part of the contract, you know, she gets to keep her eyebrows and he doesn’t have to sleep with her. There probably was a specific clause in that contract. Something like “Every time he insists on her grooming of the eyebrows she can make him perform his marital duty or take away his allowance for a full week.” So I guess those eyebrows were a part of the deal. Or may be he’s just aesthetically challenged…at least when it comes to eyebrow shaping. Lord knows his eyebrows could use some plucking, too.

Hee, Nati. I see what you mean. He looks like he’s thinking “Close my eyes and think of England AAAHHHGG SHE’S GONNA KISS ON ME”.
they look like brother and sister
