LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian busted on another date

Celebrities At The Lakers Game
LeAnn Rimes has gone back for seconds… with Eddie Cibrian, her very married Lifetime-movie costar. LeAnn and Eddie Cibrian were photographed over the weekend by TMZ. They were attending the Lakers v. Rockets game in Los Angeles, where they were photographed hanging out in the bar of the Staples center. Neither LeAnn’s husband nor Eddie’s wife was in attendance.

LeAnn’s husband Dean Sheremet seemed to welcome LeAnn back with open arms after her much publicized affair with Eddie. He even said some nice things about their marriage… perhaps because they have a marriage of convenience? At first, Eddie Cibrian denied the affair, and then US Weekly released video of him and LeAnn acting all lovely-dovey in a restaurant. Since then, Eddie has kept pretty quiet, but LeAnn has given a few interviews where she hinted that there may be problems in her relationship, saying she was going through a “difficult time” and “not everything in our lives is always black and white.” She also seemed to think the whole cheating scandal was just about how famous she is, not that two married B-list stars were caught cheating.

Back on?

In March, Us Weekly exclusively revealed LeAnn Rimes was having an affair with her sexy Lifetime movie costar, Eddie Cibrian.

But a few weeks later, he dumped her to focus on his marriage to Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two children. Rimes admitted she was going through a “tough time” with her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, but he told Us earlier they’re “all good.”

Rimes and Cibrian haven’t been spotted together since…until this weekend! TMZ has exclusive photos of the duo — who used to meet up for trysts at the Malibu Beach Inn — hanging out at the bar of the Staples Center in L.A. during Sunday’s Lakers semi-finals game against the Houston Rockets.

Rimes is wearing her wedding ring in the photo.

Just two months ago, Cibrian and Rimes were spotted kissing, cuddling and she even sucked on his finger during a steamy date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California.

I’m not sure if this is tragic or funny. Obviously, it’s tragic for Eddie’s wife Brandi, who seems to be the only person in this quadrangle who didn’t mouth off to the press. Eddie and LeAnn seem like they’re actively trying to lampoon their marriages… who conducts an affair at the Staples Center, for goodness sake? As for Dean, I’ll give him some sympathy too. Even though I’m pretty sure he knows what’s up, and accepts his marriage for what it is.
