LeAnn Rimes did a tacky Olan Mills-style Christmas card with her stepsons
For months now, we’ve been witnessing LeAnn Rimes trying to remake herself into the biggest Christmas Star that ever was, and you know who I inevitably think of? Mariah Carey. Mariah is the queen of Christmas, I’m sorry. I don’t even listen to Mariah’s Christmas music, but I still think she should hold the Queen of Christmas title. She earned it. She’s been singing Christmas songs for decades. LeAnn Rimes is a famewhore-come-lately to the Christmas music scene.
Anyway, the above Instagram is LeAnn’s family Christmas card. Not content to simply do a Christmas card with herself and her husband, she just has to claim her step-sons as her own, and include them in her “family Christmas card.” Not only did she make Eddie and the boys do tacky “Olan Mills” poses, but she used the Instagram to shill for her Christmas EP!!! That’s what the hashtags are for, especially #TODAYischristmas. That’s her “single.” Welcome, Bonus Boys, you must help your unhinged stepmother shill for her Christmas EP. Speaking of, she’s also been bragging about her Bonus Boys in nearly every interview. Did you know that LeAnn and Eddie have the boys for Christmas this year? LeAnn will repeatedly tell you about it.
Singer LeAnn Rimes finds Christmas even sweeter when her husband’s children are involved, and hopes they’ll stay kids for as long as possible. The 33-year-old star will be celebrating the festive season with her spouse Eddie Cibrian and his offspring Mason, 12, and eight-year-old Jake, from his marriage to Brandi Glanville. LeAnn loves every minute of having the youngsters round on Christmas Day, even if she is more excited about some parts than they are.
“It’s great. Having kids makes it only sweeter,” LeAnn smiled to Smashing Interviews Magazine when quizzed on how she’ll be spending the special day. “They’re eight and 12, so we’re trying to keep them kids as long as possible. The oldest, of course, does not believe in Santa Claus pretty much anymore. The eight-year-old is questioning, but we’re still trying to keep him knowing for sure if there is a Santa Claus. It’s awesome just having them around.”
Mason and Jake come round in the morning every other year, so LeAnn and Eddie have breakfast in bed on the times it’s just the two of them. It’s a stark difference when the boys are present, as their day begins at 5:30am, with wrapping paper all over the place.
Is this tacky? To not only claim her stepsons as her own, but to claim their stories, their childhood memories, their Christmases as her own, for her own career purposes? I find it gross. While Brandi isn’t my favorite person – and God knows Brandi can stick up for herself – I’m reminded of just how much bulls—t Brandi has to put up with from LeAnn on a regular basis.
