Has LeAnn Rimes' Love Made Eddie Cibrian Famous?
If it's true LeAnn Rimes and this Eddie Cibrian guy are having some kind of affair, I'm sure the whole world will be judging Rimes. But Cibrian? He should be thanking her.
Cibrian, 36, was born in Burbank, Calif., and has been acting for 10 years. Ten years. And if he had been playing kissy face (and finger sucking) in a restaurant with a cashier from The Home Depot instead of a high-profile singer, I doubt it would've had the same impact on his life.
So even though he's been everywhere on TV, until he hooked up with Rimes he was just the kind of guy whose face might look familiar. He'd played a janitor on Saved by the Bell in 1993. Matt on The Young and the Restless in 1994. Casey on Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1996. Griff on Baywatch Nights in 1997. And Cole on Sunset Beach in 1999. He had parts here and there through the years, from the more current Dirty Sexy Money and Samantha Who? to playing a coach on Ugly Betty and a detective on The Starter Wife. And he currently has two television movies in production.
Yet when you Google "Eddie Cibrian," you'll get roughly 560,000 results, and they aren't all critical acclaim for his acting brilliance. There are several sites that list his biography, but most of the Internet entries are about the alleged romance. It has almost made Cibrian a household name to those who previously had no idea who he was.
So while he's on the verge of losing his wife, Brandi Glanville, he may also be on the verge of making the most of his well-publicized affair. Glanville told Us Weekly, "Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart. I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other." Touché.
And, yes, I realize I'm adding to his publicity, but I'll stop short of running the guy's photo.

Slow news day?
lizisawesome says:
This is what you blog about Alison? Really, I’m shocked (sorta) that LeAnn and Eddie are having an affair. The videos and photos don’t lie.
Missy says:
Gee Alison, When every other blog you put out has something about Taylor Swift, I always support you because she is a good role model for the younger listeners.
So why are you attacking this Cibrian guy. If they are having an affair, then his wife is better off and so is LeAnn’s husband. You make it sound like the world is gonna stop turning and pay him more attention because of his hooking up with her. BIG NEWS FLASH, most people just don’t give a damn.
Holly says:
I have run across stuff online that tells me that the tabloid people are getting back to writing about LeAnn. I guess that they are getting tired already of writing about Michael Jackson and must not have anything new to write about so they go back to stirring an old pot. No surprise there.
God bless you and LeAnn always!!!

P.S. I have seen it said that this man could be going with a model.
Toni says:
The guy is drop dead gorgeous don’t blame her.What ever makes ya happy I say.
S says:
I don’t have any respect for LeAnn or Eddie after they cheated on their spouses. I think Eddie’s wife was right when she said they deserve each other. It’s too bad that there are kids involved.
J says:
Let me just tell you, I saw him in person this past Sunday & damn he is HOT. LeAnn’s a lucky girl!
MTA56 says:
Leann definitely has made this ‘B’ actor famous. It’s amazing how Leann has taken the blunt of blame when this self centered ‘thug’ is walking out two children he brought into the world. He is dumping his responsibility as a father for his own wants. Leann should share blame but she did not force ‘eddie’ to stray – he had a choice. I wish all the female defenders success in finding your ‘eddie’ in life. I hope it turns out the same for you - it’s all you deserve!
Portland Girl says:
Eddie is a doll…..I love watching old reruns of Third Watch. OMG and those dimples, yikes!!!
LoganRules says:
If Eddie Cibrian has been acting since 1993, that’s more than 10 years.
S says:
My post keeps getting deleted. It’s obvious that someone can’t handle the truth.
Holly says:
I quit going on the word of the tabloid people when they said back in 1998 that Brooks & Dunn were going to quit touring. By the way I saw it on the front of the Examiner tabloid magazine today at the store that Alan Jackson and his wife are going through another marriage crisis. Let me guess. A good deal of people are going to believe that too. (rolling my eyes)
God bless you and them and LeAnn and Brooks & Dunn always!!!

wendy says:
What??? Are you totally kidding me? Eddie Cibrian might be a creep in real life and, for sure, he does not have the name recognition that other do, but you are leaving off a very important role (jimmy doherty) that he played on Third Watch (one of the best shows ever to hit tv — in my opinion and I know others). I don’t care for Eddie’s actions here, but don’t leave third watch off of his resume. it was his biggest role and the best in my opinion. i have never even heard of the other roles you mentioned
catherine says:
What a joke. Maybe you’ve never heard of Eddie Cibrian, but there are a lot of “Third Watch” fans who have known who he was since the show was on from 1999 to 2005. Funny how you left that show out of your list of his acting credits, guess it didn’t fit with your narrative that he is a unknown bit-part actor who only got name recognition through the affair.
Yes, he’s probably a slime-ball in his personal life, but so is Leann.

Could this remake hit BIG?
This is currently at Sony. What an opportunity! Perhaps Jamie Foxx would be willing to respond to this project? The remake of Sanford and Son. This can be a tribute in honor and recognizing Red Foxx contributions to this industry besides, with the right cast this will be a great movie!
The episodes today still remain hilariously funny and touch almost all age groups crossing cultural lines; Foxx did deliver in this character role! The thing that ignited this, I would impersonate Fred G. Sanford and people would enjoy it and the thought hit me! There has not been a Sanford and Son Movie made yet! Della Reese response “Your voice is very much like Redd Foxx’s”. The creativity of makeup artistes today with an acting coach can make me look exactly like Fred G. Sanford.

Sanford and Son could be heading to the big screen

Does this really surprise anyone? Sanford and Son, Redd Foxx’s sitcom from the 1970s, might be made into a feature film with Bernie Mac taking on the role of Fred Sanford popularized by the late Foxx. The film has been kicking around the studios for a few years now, and is currently at Sony. Nick Cannon is also slated to play Lamont Sanford, Fred’s son.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science doubling the number of best picture nominees! Who knows? I know a comedy film that will be among the nominees!! I can see it now! This film yielding much and receiving an immediate return. I am telling you it will bring to the table drama, comedy and suspense. Hilariously funny causing both the muscles in your face and stomach to tighten up from laughing so hard.
Some might even fall from their seats. Believe me! You will not be able to keep a straight face. I suggest that you use the restroom first before you enter into this movie. Why? Because you will not be able to hold what is longing inside of you. You will release it from cracking up! Yes Sir! The remake of Sanford and Son! THE MOVIE!! The right cast! Hey!! There is a guy that sound like Fred G. Sanford on youtube.com/healingprophet
Holly says:
According to the People magazine website, LeAnn and Dean have been having trouble since before LeAnn even knew that man who did the movie with her and that the separation doesn’t have anything to do with him.
For a while now I’ve been wondering if there’s a reason why LeAnn has never denied what’s been said about her. What if something else happened with her and what we’ve been given is what she would rather us be given and not the real story.
God bless you and LeAnn always!!!

Steven says:
I wish US Weekly would leave LeAnn alone!
Holly says:
^^^ Amen to that!!! God bless you and her always!!!

P.S. I have seen it said that LeAnn and that guy from her film were seen together in L.A. on July 17th. That is a load because I know someone who got to see LeAnn in concert that day…in New York and they told me that LeAnn gave an awesome performance! (smiles)
Holly says:
^^^ Thank you for sharing that. Maybe that man from LeAnn’s movie will see it because I read here that he may be going with a model named Scheana Marie Jancan.

Mary says:
I’ll always be a fan of LeAnn, and I’ve been a fan of Eddie since his Young and Restless days, but became a die-hard fan after Third Watch. I’m looking forward to CSI: Miami now that Eddie will be a regular, even though I’ve never watched it before.
mema says:
I definitely cannot agree with having an affair while married, but both of these couples were having trouble in their marriage long before meeting.

Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I believe that you simply could do with some % to power the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
