Are LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian carrying on a secret affair? Three months after they were first accused of cheating on their spouses with each other, the two were photographed together at a bar in L.A.’s Staples Center.
The pair, who co-starred together in a TV movie, made tabloid headlines in March when cameras allegedly caught them kissing on a dinner date. But according to Us, the actor, a father of two, stopped seeing the country singer to work on his marriage. LeAnn, likewise, affirmed her commitment to hubby Dean Sheremet.
But on Sunday, during half-time of the Lakers’ home playoff game, she and Eddie were spotted side by side — and looking rather pleased to be in each other’s company.
We must admit that back in March, we suspected that LeAnn and Eddie’s “romance” was drummed up to promote their TV project. But maybe there’s really something to it after all? Stay tuned …
SIENNA SAYS SAYONARA
Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty have called it quits on their scandalous romance. Since the married father of four was first spotted canoodling with the actress (he insists the marriage was effectively over when they started seeing each other), the pair elicited much disapproval — and apparently the drama took its toll.
“Sienna loved being with Balthazar, but there was too much baggage and she couldn’t commit to anything more than a few months,” a source told the U.K.’s Mirror, adding, “They are still good friends.”
And the “Factory Girl” starlet may have already moved on to a new man: She’s said to have gotten close to hunky actor Josh Hartnett, after ministering to him while he was ailing with stomach problems.
“Josh and Sienna have a unique bond,” the source said. “They understand each other and I wouldn’t be surprised if a relationship blossomed.”
Neither would we — but somehow we have a feeling there’s nothing “unique” about Sienna’s bond with Josh.
MOM-NAPPING?
How low will tabloids stoop for a juicy celebrity scoop? To a “despicable” level, fumes an outraged Brooke Shields, who claims the National Enquirer took advantage of her ailing mother in an effort to dig up dirt.
The “Lipstick Jungle” star’s mother, Teri, suffers from dementia and is currently housed in a senior living facility.
But, Brooke explains in a statement to People, she was recently signed out of the facility by two Enquirer reporters who showed up and “falsely claimed they were friends of hers. They then drove my 75-year-old mother around looking for a tabloid story.”
“As anyone knows who has a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer’s, it is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through as a son or daughter,” Brooke adds. “The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting.”
The tabloid responds in a statement, “A freelance reporter who has known Teri Shields for more than 10 years visited her Thursday at the assisted living facility where Brooke says she moved her. Teri asked the reporter to take her out to lunch and to run some errands. The freelance reporter then got permission from the facility to do so.”
Teri was found, unharmed, in a restaurant near the center, accompanied by a reporter. No word on whether she supplied said reporter with any salacious details about her daughter.
FERGALICIOUS AND BI-CURIOUS?
According to a British tabloid report, Fergie — the Black Eyed Peas singer, not the Duchess of York — has announced that she’s bisexual. At least a little.
“Put it this way — I’ve experimented definitely but I have never had a steady girlfriend,” the pop star born Stacy Ferguson allegedly told the U.K.’s Sun.
C’mon, Fergie Ferg, don’t steal Lindsay Lohan’s same-sex-loving thunder. It’s the only thing keeping her name in the press!
