LeAnn Rimes Reveals Divorce Details on Her Web Site

LeAnn Rimes and her husband are getting divorced, according to an Associated Press report.

The 26-year-old country singer announced the end of her union to backup dancer Dean Sheremet on her Web site, telling fans: “After much thoughtful mutual consideration, Deane and I have agreed to move forward with dissolving our marriage.”

(We’ve always seen Sheremet’s first name spelled “Dean,” not “Deane.” Is Rimes’s misspelling is a final dig at this poor guy?)

Rimes and Sheremet, 28, were married in February 2002. Tabloid reports have linked Rimes with actor Eddie Cibrian, her co-star in the TV movie “Northern Lights.” Cibrian filed for divorce from his wife of eight years, Brandi, last week.

When the couple announced their separation a few days ago, reports indicated that Rimes was paying for Sheremet to relocate from Tennessee to New York City and start taking classes at the French Culinary Institute.

Shania Twain Love Triangle: Dating Homewrecker’s Ex-Husband

In a case of romantic musical chairs, Shania Twain is now dating a man who was married to the woman who broke up her own marriage to record producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, according to a Reuters report.

Twain’s new companion was identified by Reuters as Frederic Thiebaud. He is the husband of Marie-Anne Thiebaud, Lange’s former secretary and the woman with whom Lange had an affair. The extramarital affront led to the dissolution of Twain and Lange’s 14-year marriage last year.

After the split up, Twain, 44, kept a low profile for a year, but will soon return to the spotlight as a guest judge on American Idol’s new season.

“I hit a very big bump in the road,” Twain told Reuters, “but when I reflect on it all, it’s clear how remarkably active my life has been since last December — a time in the life of someone working hard to ‘move on’ and succeeding.”

Taylor Swift won the video of the year for “Love Story” at last night’s Country Music Television awards, underlining her own love affair with country music fans.

“I want to thank Shania Twain for always making such theatrical videos, and Garth Brooks for always putting the fans first. I take my cues from you,” Swift said Tuesday in accepting video of the year honors at Nashville’s Sommet Center.

Swift won the fan-voted award over Brad Paisley’s “Waitin’ on a Woman,” Trace Adkins’ “You’re Gonna Miss This,” Carrie Underwood’s “Just a Dream” and Sugarland’s “All I Want to Do.” Swift’s “Love Story” video is an elaborate production with period costumes that is based on the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Other CMT winners included Rascal Flatts for group video (”Every Day”) and the Zac Brown Band for breakthrough video (”Chicken Fried”).

Viewers cast more than 2.5 million votes to decide the four finalists in most categories. Fans could vote for their favorites for video of the year throughout the show.
