LeAnn Rimes

Simon Cowell has never minced words, but he seems to be keeping relatively mum (as in, outright BSing) when it comes to LeAnn Rimes' 'X Factor' performance.

Carly Rose Sonenclar's 'How Do I Live' duet with LeAnn Rimes on the 'X Factor' finale was a mess, thanks largely to Rimes' erratic singing, which may have contributed to 13-year-old Sonenclar's failure to win the 'X Factor' title. Rimes actually issued a statement claiming that it was Carly Rose who was off-key and nervous, which has the teen's family fuming.

Despite the fact that pretty much everyone could tell that the problem with 'X Factor' contestant Carly Rose Sonenclar's spectacularly bad duet with LeAnn Rimes was LeAnn Rimes herself, the former country singer says the eardrum assault wasn't her fault. Instead, she threw her 13-year-old duet partner under the bus. Because she's awesome that way.

Lest we all forget, LeAnn Rimes used to be known for her singing. Then she had an affair with the then-married Eddie Cibrian, married him herself, and became the unhinged tabloid queen she is today. (It's the stuff of modern-day fairy tales, really.) Now she's found a way to merge her worlds -- by writing a song about the whole mess.

Though it's unclear what LeAnn Rimes does to warrant being interviewed anymore, she sat down for a chat with equally bobble-headed Giuliana Rancic -- and burst into tears when asked about her infidelity in her first marriage. And by "tears," we mean "bizarre, somewhat sad facial expressions with no saline involved."

Part-time husband stealer and full-time whatever it is that she does these days LeAnn Rimes really needs to get her act together if she wants to keep photographing Eddie Cibrian's children and putting them on the internet. The latest in the slap-fight between Rimes and the woman from whom she swiped Cibrian, Brandi Glanville, involves Glanville claiming her son got “extremely ill” when he got his

Former country crooner and current tabloid magnet LeAnn Rimes recently got in a wee bit of trouble on Twitter for calling husband Eddie Cibrian's children “her boys” -- a comment that their actual mother, reality show star Brandi Glanville, didn't appreciate one little bit.
