LeAnn Rimes Movie Takes Risque Detour

Source: GACTV.com


March 19, 2009 — LeAnn Rimes’ role in an upcoming Lifetime Channel movie got lots of attention this week — wanted or not — when she was linked romantically to her costar, Eddie Cibrian, by Us Weekly.

The story gained traction when LeAnn posted what appeared to be a response on her website.

"This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support," she said in Wednesday’s message to fans. "I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white."

Us Weekly claims to have spotted LeAnn and Eddie together on two occasions in the last two weeks. In one of the instances, video from a security camera documents the two holding hands and kissing.

LeAnn and husband Dean Sheremet, a co-writer on her hit "Nothin’ Better To Do," observed their seventh wedding anniversary last month. The couple renewed its vows in California’s Napa Valley last August.

LeAnn’s Lifetime movie, "Nora Roberts’ Northern Lights," debuts Saturday. The Us Weekly piece suggests her interest in Eddie blossomed during production.

"I [played] a pilot," LeAnn said of the role last month. "I was a bush pilot in Alaska and got to handle some guns, which I haven’t done in a very long time. I grew up in Mississippi and Texas, so I definitely know my way around a gun. But that was my second day on set. They took me out to a shooting range and I had to learn how to handle rifles and handguns, so it was fun. It was an interesting role. I was in Canada for a month. It was freezing, but it was fun."

She also noted she was "really, really happy" with the end results and singled out Eddie and Rosanna Arquette among her fellow cast members.

"I had a lot of fun," she said, "working with the people that I worked with."

Late Wednesday afternoon, People magazine reported that Eddie released the following statement:

"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," he said in a statement first obtained by Access Hollywood.
