LeAnn Rimes

[Spinderella]

Is this some weird, twisted way that they're 'allowing' her to get out of the marriage because she 'just discovered' he's gay? It's really bizarre how they're handling all this.

And it just comes out of nowhere!

Thanks for the inside scoop, benni! Fellow posters, benni has carefully not disclosed the gender of the person she is talking about. Although the actor's PA is male.

More stories, please.

Topic: I barely remember Leann and can't recall her breakout song. I don't think I've ever heard of her husband or the guy she's rumored to have cheated with. And my favorite Arquette is Alexis.

LeeAnn's rep is denying the existence of Cousin Pebbles. Cousin Pebbles is the alleged family member calling radio stations and saying her husband is gay. I don't know if Cousin Pebbles exists but I'm still convinced her husband is gay.

LeeAnn was 19 when she got married and was in the middle of some major family drama at the time. I think she got married because she desperate for some stability and maybe was hoping a wedding could somewhat reunite her family. People in that position don't always make the wisest decisions.

I believe Cousin Pebbles. See even imaginary people think the hubby is gay.

Yeah, I remember when she got married, it was kind of assumed she did it to get away from her controlling family.

I've never paid much attention to LeAnn and don't know anything about her husband except I think he was her backup dancer or something.

So, I'm genuinely curious to know -- why is everyone convinced that he's gay?

Well, I just thought he looked very, very, very, very effeminate. Granted, that's flimsy evidence and there are effeminate straight guys, but he's so off-the-charts effeminate (he makes Zac Efron look very masculine) that I can't help but think he's gay. Many people talk about Justin Timberlake and Chace Crawford and pretty much any guy from Gossip Girl seeming effeminate-pointing-towards-gay, but all of these guys seem way more masculine than Leann Rhimes' husband to me. So I deduced from comparison based on other people's readings of other men that he's probably gay (maybe he doesn't know it yet?) Of course, I could be very, very wrong as well.

However, if he is gay, I guess for the younger generation this couple must be their Liza Minelli and David Gest.

Yes, this is the only reason I believe that she may have rushed into that marriage and may have missed the signs that her husband is gay. I don't feel that she knew he was gay when she married him, but I do feel that in her rush to get away from her controlling family, she married him without really knowing a lot about him and, as a result, may have ignored some of the signs that he may be gay.

This may have been something she started to notice down the line and perhaps now she is fully aware of it (if he is indeed gay), but stayed in the marriage as long as she did because she was in love or developed real feelings for him, even though she was perhaps gradually becoming aware that he was gay.

I have never been in a situation where I fell for someone who eventually turned out to be gay, but I am sure that it is difficult to just change your feelings for someone who you fell in love with, even if they turned out to be gay. Her fling with Eddie (if it is true) is her wanting something more real now if she is aware that he is gay and if he truly is. Perhaps this is why she suggested on her website that the situation is complicated or not black and white.

Here's some pics of the guy so everyone can judge for themselves.

At the Walk the line premiere

In Disneyland

At some other event


I don't know. He's a slight guy with a boyish face, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gay.

... with a very large forehead. Wow.
