Hot Guy Friday: The proud, the smarmy, the British

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 08:08 AM PDT

This week's Hot Guy Friday is a salute to my favorite of all of the accented and delicious men in the world: The British. Maybe you want me to call them "The English" but I am including some Welsh in the mix, and British people seem to care about the difference, so whatever. Our Hot Guy Leader this week is the lovely and talented Idris Elba. I've been thinking about him all week, ever since I read this piece at Bossip. Bossip claims that Idris has a stripper baby mama that he lived with for a short time, and then he made her leave (while she was still pregnant), and that the girl is back to stripping. Now, I don't approve of this kind of thing, but knowing that 'Dris is a player who randomly impregnates American girls has definitely raised my ho-dar. I'm now on the hunt for the beauty of 'Dris in my bed. Let’s do some more research, ladies!

I didn’t know if I should begin or end with my Clive. But for some reason, Clive feels very natural right after Idris, right? Like you’re in a threesome with both of them and you go with Idris first because, f-ck, it’s IDRIS and you need him NOW and then it’s over and you can spend an hour with Clive. And then you go back to Idris. And then Clive…

And after we get through with Clive and Idris, what about some Daniel Craig? Sure, he’s a grumpy bugger, but it’s worth it. Totally. (There’s a little Jamie Bell in the mix too):

And of course, Jude Law. Funny story: I completely forgot about him when I was making my Hot British Guy Master List. Why can’t I let Jude be great? Why don’t I want to get pregnant by The Law?

Colin Firth will likely win the Best Actor Oscar this year. Well-deserved after two decades of stellar work hotness. Is it just me, or does Firth improve with age? Sure, his turn as Mr. Darcy set the tone for his hotness, but I like the middle-aged Firth so much. He’s grown into one of the best English actors working today. And by “best” I mean “dongtastic”.

Jonny Lee Miller isn’t the most popular of all of the Englishmen, but I adore him, and I find him sexy as hell. His voice is gorgeous, and his manor is very unassuming and sweet. Does he sometimes photograph sort of “Frankenstein”? Sure. But I want to wrap my legs around him.

Andrew Lincoln is English and he’s playing American in that new AMC zombie show (that I haven’t seen). He’s also that really sweet guy from Love, Actually. The one who was in love with Keira, remember? And he made the tape of her on her wedding day and… oh God.

Next, a little Hugh Dancy. He’s married to Claire Danes, and in my opinion, he already looks like he’s over it. So chances are that he could be single again very soon. Now… is he sexy? Eh. He’s very, very pretty, and he’s one of those guys that’s much better in motion. In still photos, he just seems uptight and fancy. Fancy Dancy, which is entirely unoriginal, I know, but it fits.

Rihanna wears a bustier to a Christmas tree lighting: appropriate?

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 08:06 AM PDT

Would you like a little tittay with your Christmas tree? These are photos of Rihanna in London last night, doing some kind of Christmas tree lighting ceremony for a mall/shopping center. This is the second bustier Rihanna has worn in a week - so it’s her new “trend” now I guess. Tittays and this dumb Kool-Aid hair.

Considering this event is for families… and considering “the 22-year-old was joined on stage by a group of school children for the moment when she switched on the lights”…are the Christmas boobs appropriate? Or is it like Katy Perry’s Sesame Street boobs, where kids aren’t even conscious of how sexualized the imagery is, just because it’s all so “rainbows and cotton candy and Kool-Aid hair and Christmas!”

Blake Lively’s glittery faux shirt-dress: tacky or cute?

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 07:57 AM PDT

wenn3081173
Blake Lively wore a strange ensemble, even for her, to the opening of a new boutique in Soho last night. She had on a blue dress shirt with a wide collar open to her bra paired with a puffy sequin miniskirt that was possibly tiered and a tan leather belt folded in on itself. I really hate the trend of wearing sloppy leather belts with dresses, but that transgression is minor in the context of this outfit. The bottom of her shirt was hanging out from beneath the skirt. It’s like she’s daring us to tell her that it’s anything except high fashion. Blake admitted as much in a recent statement in which she bragged that she styles herself and is self taught from attending fashion shows. I think we can call her latest effort “throw it all together and see what sticks”:

Stepping out for a swanky evening, Blake Lively was spotted at the opening of the new Realm Boutique in New York City last night (November 4).

The "Gossip Girl" actress was joined by owner Randi Jacobson as she posed for the paparazzi outside the SoHo establishment.

As for her own personal sense of style, Lively told press she's developed her taste over the years and had plenty of exposure to awesome fashion.

"I feel like the more you do anything the better you get at it. I’ve lived in New York for three years, and I go to more and more shows. My trip to Paris, the designers I get to meet, and I just styled myself the whole time."

[From GossipCenter]

I’ll say something nice - those boots are cute and I have a pair just like that. The outfit is a mess, though. At least her boobs aren’t hanging out, she’s wearing a skirt (although it’s shorter than her damn shirt) and you can’t see the inside of her upper thighs. Although that’s probably not the case when she sits down.

Note by Celebitchy: I wrote this as Kaiser is having Internet issues. I know she usually covers the fashion stories and she did write the title. Thank goodness she did HGF ahead of time!

Anne Hathaway’s cream dress at the ‘Love & Other Drugs’ premiere

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 07:18 AM PDT

wenn3081560

Last night was the premiere of Love & Other Drugs, which stars two of the most in-demand younger actors, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. They both looked nice, in my opinion. Neither really knocked it out of the park, but both gave it a good effort. Anne wore a cream Antonio Berardi dress, with those strange little flares at the hips, like most women need extra fabric right there to draw the eye…? The shoes are Sergio Rossi. Most notably about Anne is that she's begun to seriously lighten her traditionally chocolate-colored hair. On her Vogue cover, she had some red highlights, but now Anne has gotten even more. The red looks nice on her, and I have to give her credit: this is some of the best styling I've ever seen her with. Usually Anne gets it wrong somehow, with too severe hair or makeup that is too garish, but her hair and makeup are quite lovely here.

wenn3081553

The premiere comes on the heels of Jake Gyllenhaal's Esquire UK cover interview… Jake talked a lot about the many, many sex scenes in the film:

He said to UK’s Esquire magazine: ‘We talked about what we thought was sexy, about what were the things that interested us, and through the discussion became pretty intimate with each other.’

He added: ‘There’s something about the way Annie and I both work which is inherently very musical. It’s all about rhythm. There’s a rhythm to writing, there’s a rhythm to sports, there’s a rhythm to sex.’

‘I was naked a lot in the movie. I was naked in more of it than was even in the final cut. A director’s cut? I don’t even know how that would be rated.’

For her part, Hathaway adds: ‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with nudity in film, and I would hope that any actor that is asked to reveal that part of themselves has as loving and open an experience as we had.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Sounds like they had a nice time working together - looks like I was wrong. I thought they didn't really care for each other personally, ever since they did Brokeback Mountain and it seemed like everyone was treating Anne like she was "the a–hole" of the cast. I have to admit… I want to see this movie. I probably won't see it at the theatre, but it's definitely a rental.

Oh, and Jake's "girlfriend" Taylor Swift didn't make it to the premiere. From what I can see, she had to fly to Canada to promote her album.

Michael Caine had a 1/2 brother in an asylum he didn’t know about for 50 years

This morning I had the pleasure of hearing Michael Caine interviewed on NPR’s Fresh Air. (You can listen to the interview and see highlights here. It first aired a couple of days ago so you may have already heard this.) What an incredibly interesting class act this guy is. Caine, 77, told too many excellent stories to recap them all, but there were two that really stuck out for me. One was the first piece of advice that John Wayne gave him, not to wear suede shoes as you can’t get pee out of them. (It makes sense, read it!) The other was the fact that he had an older 1/2 brother in an asylum that he didn’t find out about until after his mother’s death. Caine’s mother had visited her son at his mental home every Monday and never once let the family secret slip. Her husband never even knew. It sounds like such a mystery the way he tells it. Here’s some of what he said:

On first coming to Hollywood and meeting John Wayne
“It was quite weird. I came to do a picture with Shirley MacLaine and she wasn’t there. She was working on another picture and she was just finishing up. She couldn’t get there for two weeks. So until we officially had the party welcoming me to Hollywood, I was in this very luxurious suite in the Beverly Hills Hotel and no one talked to me. No one came. They just paid the bills and that was it. So I used to sit in the lobby looking for movie stars. [That's] where I met John Wayne for the first time and we became friends — not close friends, we hardly moved in the same circles, but we became very deep acquaintances. And he was very kind to me and gave me all sorts of advice like, ‘Talk low, talk slow and don’t say too much’ [and] ‘Don’t wear suede shoes.’ I said ‘Why can’t I wear suede shoes?’ and [John Wayne] said ‘You’ll be in the toilet, taking a pee and a guy will recognize you and he’ll turn and say ‘Michael Caine’ and he will have peed all over your shoes Michael.’ So I said ‘All right, I won’t wear suede shoes.’”

On finding out about his 1/2 brother
DAVIES: One of the interesting turns in your story is in 1991, when you learned that there was a half-brother that you’d never known about or known. Your parents were both dead at this point. How did you find out?

Mr. CAINE: My half-brother was in a mental institution. He was eight years older than me. Nobody - obviously, my mother knew, but nobody in my family had any inkling of this man. His name was David.

But the most extraordinary thing that we found out, when I found out about it -and oh, I’ll tell you first how I found out. A newspaper in England was doing an article, a series, on the state of mental health treatment in England.

And the reporter eventually rang me and told me that I had my half-brother, because I never knew him. My mother and father were dead. And the way he found out is he was in a hospital doing his thing, you know, his program about the state of mental health. And this girl, who was also a mental patient, came over and pointed at David and said: That is Michael Caine’s brother. And, of course, this reporter went: What? And he investigated it, and lo and behold, it was my half-brother.

And he rang me and said - and he was very nice. They didn’t make a big deal out of it, you know, sensationalism. He said: But he is your half-brother, he said, and the way we found out is that there is a picture of you with your mother just on the wall by his bed. And that’s the woman who comes and visits him. And then I talked to the matron, and then she’s told me the full story.

So I had this half-brother there, but the most extraordinary thing about it was that for 51, two or three years, my mother had visited him every Monday without fail, except for the five years of the war, when everyone was evacuated.

DAVIES: Now just to be clear, this was an illegitimate child that your mom had had…

Mr. CAINE: Illegitimate child that she’d had eight years before she had me, when she wasn’t married to my - my father was in the Indian Army. He was in the Royal Horse Artillery in India. And so he was away, and she’d had this illegitimate child.

What you did there, because of the shame, is you gave it to the Salvation Army. And he had epilepsy, and they’d obviously left him in a room with a very hard floor and no attention, and he’d battered himself into incoherence.

When I finally met him, he spoke, but I couldn’t understand what he said. And the only person who could understand was the matron, who had been with him the longest. And she translated. She was like an interpreter for me when we talked to each other.

And I obviously looked after him very well for the next two years, when he died years ago, years ago.

DAVIES: It’s remarkable that your mom made these visits and kept this secret.

Mr. CAINE: That’s what’s - yeah. That’s what’s incredible.

DAVIES: Took him sweets and the like.

Mr. CAINE: Yeah, I mean, my mother used to come to me on the weekends, you know, and on Monday, when she went back, you know, I’d give her all the rest of the box of chocolates, boxes of biscuits - you know, cookies as you call them in America and, you know, three-quarters of a cake, which we hadn’t eaten.

And for her, you know, and I had other family living in the house where she lived. And I would go up there and see her on a Wednesday and have a cup of tea, which is only two days later. And I’d tell her, I’d like a biscuit. And she’d say: I haven’t got one. Of course, she’d been taking them to David.

And I found out - I had a Rolls Royce and a chauffeur, the full - and my chauffeur, he said one day, he said: You do know, he said, whenever I take your mum home on a Monday, I never take her to the house. I said: Where do you drop her off? He said: I drop her off at a bus stop.

And I said: What did she say she’s going to do? He said: She’s going shopping. What she was absolutely going to do was take the food and the chocolates to David in the mental home.

[From NPR]

The Oscar winning actor is promoting his new memoir, The Elephant to Hollywood. It’s out now and I’m surprised we haven’t heard more about it. Caine has been married to his second wife, Shakira Baksh, since 1973 and they have a daughter Natasha, 37. The first photo below is of him with his wife at Natasha’s wedding, which I think was 2 years ago. Caine has another grown daughter, Nikki, from his first marriage, and she’s also pictured below.

Joel McHale swills scotch and mocks Hoda and Kathy Lee on The Today Show

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 06:18 AM PDT


Joel McHale of E!’s “The Soup” and the NBC comedy “Community” was on The Today Show yesterday. Community is my favorite comedy and McHale and the rest of the cast are just brilliant in it. The show is full of clever jokes and apt pop culture references that have you crying laughing. (You can pick up watching it at any point and it’s available on NBC.com and Hulu.) Anyway Joel is also the host of The Soup, which regularly makes fun of other talkshows, including The Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda. Most of the segment with Joel involved recaps of the way he’s mocked the two of them. There was plenty of ribbing about their antics. He even brought a bottle of single malt scotch with him and offered them some, since they’re shown drinking so frequently. This recap at Hollywood.com does better justice than I can to Joel’s appearance, but just watch the clip above if you can get away with it where you are:

God bless Joel McHale. He stars on one the funniest shows on television, Community, and hosts the always entertaining round-up of the most hilarious bits of terrible television, The Soup, and he's easy on the eyes, so that doesn't hurt either. Now, he's hit a new high. He stopped by the set of The Today Show this morning to promote Community with a bottle of single malt scotch in hand. (Don't worry, he brought enough cups to share the boozy wealth with Kathy Lee and Hoda.)

In case you, I don't know, have a life and aren't sitting around watching the fourth hour of The Today Show on a regular basis, the ongoing joke about hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Gifford is that they get up the courage to "entertain" us with an entire hour of inane banter by getting a little toasty first. And if you saw Hoda at the Super Bowl last year, you know there's plenty of high proof fuel for that fire. McHale (and everyone else, including SNL) reiterates this point over and over again on The Soup – perhaps because the ladies continue to act like they're blasted on a daily basis. When he stepped on set, it was obvious that the allegedly drunken duo was ready to grill him for his crimes against the precious fourth hour…

Finally, the ladies got to the elephant in the room and ask him why he continues to mock their show to which he replied, "Have you seen your show?" Score one, McHale. (Or score about a million.) McHale also cited the infamous Super Bowl segment, capping it off with "How'd you get those beads?" (Duh, Joel she can't remember if she flashed someone or not. She was "allegedly" drunk!)

[From Hollywood.com]

You could tell that Kathy Lee was slightly offended by the way The Soup has been mocking her, but once Joel got the two of them laughing their asses off they were ready to forgive him. How could anyone stay made at that guy?

Last night’s Community featured Hilary Duff as a new mean girl on campus. I haven’t seen it yet but I’m excited to, and am sure it’s hysterical. Highlights this season include the zombie Halloween special and the excellent Apollo 13 tribute. This show is pure genius.

Here’s McHale promoting the show earlier in the morning:

Supernanny quits!

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 05:49 AM PDT

supernanny2
Supernanny Jo Frost is ready to step away from her job trying to help dysfunctional families limit the psychological damage their chaotic lifestyles take on their children. She told the NY Post that she’s ready to “hang up her cape” and spend some time hopefully working out a family of her own. She’s been living out of hotels for years and is single at 39.

supernannyinset‘Supernanny” Jo Frost is putting her long-running show in permanent time out.

British TV star says that this is her final season — because she would like to start a family of her own.

“I have decided to hang up my cape,” she told The Post this week. “It was a very conscious decision, through much reflection. But I need to create more balance in my life.”

The 39-year-old kid whisperer has been living out of a suitcase since she began in 2004 traveling in Britain and America, defusing temper tantrums.
Though she’s now worth tens of millions (the show has spin-offs in 47 countries), Frost hasn’t found time to buy a home of her own. She still bunks with her dad during trips home to the UK, she says sheepishly.

Having children “is not an option when you are traveling and working 46 weeks out of the year,” says Frost, who is single and currently without a boyfriend.

“Proper balance will allow me to date and have a relationship and look at my own future of having a family.”

“I am definitely excited about dating and being in a committed relationship. That is all exciting stuff for me around the corner.”

For the past six years, Frost — who became the Supernanny by responding to an open casting call — has been a textbook workaholic.

What began as a pop-culture punch line — “the naughty step” has become a lifesaver for families with out-of-control kids — has evolved into a carefully managed brand.
In addition to working with 115 families over the life of the show, she’s written three bestsellers (a fourth book focusing on toddlers is due next year) and toured two continents delivering seminars to thousands of harried parents.

“I am passionate about my work,” Frost says. And that won’t change, even with the end of “Supernanny.”

“I will certainly not be giving up what my public service is to America and the world,” she insists. Frost is developing several new TV projects and says there is “much interest” in bringing her current UK series, “Extreme Parental Guidance,” here.

“I don’t think you will be seeing less of me,” she says. “I just think it will be a different way that you see me.”

[From The NY Post]

Of course she says she wants to take time off and focus on her home life, that’s what a lot of people say when they resign. Usually there’s some catalyst for it though, like the last straw was a fight with your boss over some mismanaged project. It could be something like a dispute she’s having with producers. It’s just my nature to dig for the dirt, though, and she could simply be burned out from working constantly.

So was it the cumulative effect of working with all those families that got to Frost along with the traveling, or was one terrible family in particular that drove her to quit? We will ever get to see that episode and will it be obvious that this one family finally broke Frost’s steely resolve? Dealing with any of those families for one day would make me so stressed. Frost has a real knack for staying level-headed while developing systems to help families run smoothly.

One thing I learned from reading Frost’s wikipedia entry is that she has no training in child development or child psychology and doesn’t even have an undergraduate degree! She does an excellent job though and she will be missed. She helped so many families on screen and off and I hope we’ll be seeing her in other endeavors. Maybe she’ll be introducing us to her own kids.

Carrie Underwood on why she doesn’t want a baby now and doesn’t use Twitter

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 05:33 AM PDT

fp_5695033_barm_underwood_c
Carrie Underwood, 27, was part of that Backstage Nashville special where LeAnn Rimes stole the show with her “poor me, I fell in love” act. I was impressed with how measured and practical Carrie was. While I’ve heard she can be nasty I just got the sense from the clips I saw that she’s very driven and focused. She reminded me a little of Reese Witherspoon in that way. As for what she talked about, I guess we can stop all the speculation that Carrie Underwood is planning to get knocked up now that she’s married her hunk of a hockey player. When Robin Roberts asked her if babies were in the works she very clearly said that motherhood is not in her immediate plans. Carrie also explained why she doesn’t use Twitter and told a cute story about how her husband’s mom wanted her to date his son back when she was on American Idol! The baby quotes are below, and the other two subjects are discussed in the video clips.

After their honeymoon in Tahiti, her husband, Canadian pro-hockey player Mike Fisher, immediately “went to Canada,” she said Wednesday on the ABC special, In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: All Access Nashville. “So it was like … ‘See ya,’ husband.’”

Underwood, 27, who couldn’t join him because she had to go on tour, said it “was very strange. I really don’t feel like I’ve lived married life yet. … It’s great. Whatever it is. Whatever this is.”‘

When he’s away, she keeps busy by hanging with friends — and not at the clubs.

“On a Friday night, I’d rather go see a movie with friends or … like get together and play board games, or, something silly like that than go … party it up some place,” said Underwood. “I’d rather be in my pajamas hanging out with the people that I love.”‘

Despite their frenetic schedules, Underwood said Fisher, 30, is the ideal mate for her.

“He’s a perfect balance of a manly man and like a best friend,” she said. “He’s a rugged man. He chops wood and he’s outdoors and all that stuff, and he plays hockey, but … he also like loves to go shopping.”

When can we expect kids?

“We just want to be together and keep it as simple as possible. And I think a baby would just make things so complicated right now,” she said.

When her current tour wraps up in December, she plans to settle down with her man in Canada.

“I’ll be more home-based,” she said. “So I’ll get to spend, you know, my days with him. We’ll be more like a normal couple.”

[From US Magazine]

Here’s what I like about this. I like how she didn’t trip over herself prefacing her statement with platitudes about motherhood and children and how she wants a bunch of kids someday. (Here’s a link to a clip of her discussing that.) She was to-the-point, practical and she sent a very good message to her young female fans. Being a mom is hard and complicated even when you’re rich, famous, married and can afford all the help in the world. It’s not something that you should enter into lightly and it’s absolutely a life choice that should be planned. She really won me over with that comment, and with her sensible approach to Twitter. On Twitter she said “It’s not for me… I’ll blog… A lot of people get themselves in trouble on Twitter… If you’re mad or crazy at the moment [or] intoxicated twittering it’s too immediate and there’s no time to cool off and think about what you’re going to say before you say it.”

Marion Cotillard in Elie Saab: dazzling and/or pregnant-looking?

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 05:28 AM PDT

101104a1_cotillard_b-gr_03

I was looking through photos of this BAFTA/LA event in Los Angeles last night, and instead of becoming obsessed with Carey Mulligan (her outfit was meh), I chanced upon these Marion Cotillard photos from the event. Remember a couple of weeks ago when Marion had major tittay drama on the red carpet? Some of us were like "maybe those are pregnancy boobs." Well, I'm thinking the same thing again. See:

101104a1_cotillard_b-gr_06

While I'm not really spying a "bump" for Marion in this Elie Saab dress, she does look… fuller. Rounder, in general. Is it just that she eats and she naturally has some nice boobs and full(er) hips, and I just haven't been paying attention? Could be. But I'm still putting Marion on Bump Watch. If she is knocked up, chances are the baby-daddy is Guillaume Canet, Marion's boyfriend since 2007 (and Diane Kruger's ex-husband). Neither has any children thus far.

Eddie Cibrian & LeAnn Rimes might be engaged, according to sources

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 04:44 AM PDT

Eddie Cibrian & LeAnn Rimes.at the Academy Of Country Music Awards 2010.MGM Grand Arena.Las Vegas, NV.April 18, 2010.2010 Kathy Hutchins / Hutchins Photo.... Photo via Newscom

Ugh, I had already a story about Brandi Glanville and her appearance on The Talk when this story popped up, so you’re getting everything in one post. According to E! News, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are engaged. E!’s sources say, “though it didn’t happen on Halloween, [Eddie] indeed popped the question recently and the duo are engaged.” But LeAnn’s rep didn’t have a comment. Do you think this is for real? I don’t… just because I don’t think this is the kind of engagement roll-out that LeAnn would have wanted. We’ll see.

Anyway, onto to Brandi Glanville. She sat down yesterday for an interview on The Talk, CBS's budget version of The View. The topic: why her life sucks! Pity poor me, LeAnn is a bad person, et cetera. As much as I am truly tired of LeAnn Rimes' smug overshare, I've also gotten very tired of Brandi Glanville and her "LeAnn and Eddie are the root of all evil" act. She even basically blamed them for her DUI, claiming that ever since her divorce, she's just been so lonely that "one to two glasses of wine is now three to four.” So why not just sit in her house, drinking alone and watching Miss Marple like all of us fancy respectable alkies casual drinkers? Why does she have to go out driving like a drunk maniac?

Get ready for fireworks: Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian’s ex-wife, says she is finally “going to go and sit down and talk” to LeAnn Rimes. She made the announcement Thursday on the new daytime chatfest The Talk, USA Today reports.

During her chat with Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini and Julie Chen, Glanville said she thought she had “a great marriage” to Cibrian, 38. “My marriage - in my head - was not in trouble,” she said.

That’s why she was so caught off-guard by Us Weekly’s report that Cibrian and Rimes, 28, had an affair shooting a Lifetime flick last year.

She said it’s been tough adjusting, especially now that her two boys are living with Rimes and Cibrian.

“I’m used to having my kids all the time,” she said. “Now I have them part-time. I don’t have a nanny. I don’t have help. When they’re gone, I’m alone.”

What’s worse, she added, “all my friends are married.”

So she is usually left nursing wine alone. She said what used to be “one to two” glasses “is now three to four.”

But Glanville, who was recently arrested for DUI, insisted, “I don’t think I have a drinking problem. I think I had a problem the other night when I made a bad choice to drive.”

I don't get that complaint/statement: "all my friends are married." So… none of her friends have time to hear her complain about Eddie because they're married? Or was that the excuse her friends used as a way to cut her off? Is Brandi upset that she doesn't "fit in" with the gang anymore? Is this middle school? Ugh.

Oh, and LeAnn tweeted this: “@lilkaraokediva @brandiglanville @eddiecibrian completely agree all of our communications have and will remain private. I can speak for Eddie and me and hopefully everyone involved. Their boys first” I love how she tweets about keeping things private.

35026, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - Monday October 19 2009. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian have a very public dinner at West Hollywood's Katsuya restaurant. The couple had reportedly tried to leave the eatery via a side door, but changed their minds to come out via the front. Cibrian recently refused to speak out about his tangled love life with Rimes because he believes publicity only leads to more problems. Seems a shame he didn't know that Kastuya is a regular haunt of LA's paparazzi! Both stars were married when they met and have both since started divorce proceedings to end their respective marriages. Photograph: © Hellmuth Dominguez, PacificCoastNews.com
