The editor of Shape Magazine, who put "husband-stealer" LeAnn Rimes on the October cover, is apologizing to readers for what she calls "a terrible mistake."

In an e-mail, editor Valerie Latona responded to readers who were upset that the home-wrecker was made out to be the victim in a cover article called "How Working Out Saved Me."

Latona wrote:

    "You are all in good company (why I'm emailing you all together) as you all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover.

    Please know that our putting her on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal – but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.

    But it did not come across that way… And for that I'm terribly sorry.

    I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance."


In the article, LeAnn told the mag, "My relationship with Dean was great, but ultimately it wasn't a fulfilling marriage for either of us. We got married so young: I was 19 and he was 21, so as we got older, we grew apart." LeAnn added, "I understand why people are disappointed in me, especially since I grew up as America's sweetheart. I think any relationship is hard to get out of, and I don't think the way I did it was right."

Do YOU think they made a "terrible mistake" by putting a very fit Rimes on the cover?

When it comes to sexing up her man, Mrs. Brand admits to Now Magazine:

    "Like Ludacris rapped, 'I'm a lady in the street and a freak in the bed.' I can't rate myself, but if you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a ten out of ten."


The California Gurls singer even gets candid about the British comedian's past infidelities. She adds:

    "He's made no secret of what his life was like before me, but that's then and this is the future. He's cheated in the past but he knows how good he has it with me and I know he'd never do anything to jeopardize that. I trust him 100 percent."


Oh Katy, sounds like he's got no reason to go anywhere!

Charlie Sheen smiled as he left rehearsals yesterday for his cameo in the Hilary Duff film, She Wants You.

As a matter of fact, he seemed thrilled by the crowd of photogs gathered outside the studio, many of whom were shouting "Charlie, you're my hero!"

Well, we know the scandal is going to translate into good business for Capri Anderson, the porn star Charlie allegedly kept locked up in a bathroom as he unleashed a tirade on the Plaza Hotel room he was staying in, but will this latest burst of bad boy behavior also help or hurt Charlie's career?

Will Miley Cyrus Fire Her Manager Parents And Take Control Of Her Millions Next Month On Her 18th Birthday?

Posted on Fri Oct 29th, 2010 6:35am PDT       By X17 Staff

The recent divorce filing by Billy Ray Cyrus from his wife Tish on Tuesday may have a huge effect on who gains control over Miley Cyrus' reported $1 billion bank account, as the teen superstar's 18th birthday rapidly approaches.

At the moment, both of Miley's parents are her co-managers. They both have equal decision-making power and are paid what is assumed to be an equal salary by Miley. But with a divorce pending and Miley on the brink of legal emancipation next month, Billy Ray and Tish could be getting nervous about their which of them may or may not continue to play a managerial role for their daughter or if she'll decide to fire them both!

J. Michael Kelly, a Santa Monica attorney who has been handling high profile divorce cases for over 40 years (but who does not represent either of the Cyruses), chatted with X17online about this high-profile divorce and how Miley's Nov 23 birthday may affect her parents:

    "At 18 [Miley] can say who she wants to handle everything, she could chose both parents, one, or neither.

    Billy Ray and Miley are the economic drivers of the family, and Tish doesn't have a career of her own. If there was no prenuptial agreement involved, Tish could become a very rich woman. She could go for half of their income.

    She most likely has lawyers and advisers to petition Billy Ray, and people who run the Hannah Montana franchise have a huge interest in Tish's well-being. She could end up running this franchise herself. No matter the outcome, Tish will be well taken care of."


Kelly believes the pair will most likely use a private judge to settle the divorce so that no further deals are publicized.

Billy Ray expressed his feelings about the divorce via Twitter:

    "He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you shall take refuge. Truth will be your shield and buckler.

    Can I ask for your prayers this morning for my children...our troops...the hungry...the sick...the homeless. AMEN."

Celine Dion Names Twin Boys Nelson and Eddy

Posted on Fri Oct 29th, 2010 6:17am PDT       By X17 Staff

CDION101604_006.jpgCeline Dion and husband Renee Angelli actually decided on the names for their twin boys, born on Saturday, 10 days before their birth!

Dion told a Canadian TV show the boys would be named Nelson, after South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, and Eddy, after French songwriter Eddy Marnay who produced many of Dion's early music. The late Marnay's career was launched decades ago with the legendary Edith Piaf sang one of his songs. Marnay heard a recording of Dion when she was 13 and agreed to produce her first songs.

Angelli told Canadian talk show eTalk about the birth earlier this week: "When Saturday at 11:11 came, and they showed us the first baby that was crying, we were crying. It was a very emotional moment, and even though we didn't speak to each other, we were both thinking about the time it took. We are very lucky, very privileged and very fortunate to have these boys."
