LeAnn Rimes? new album came out a few weeks ago, and it’s already bombing hard. The album is called Remnants, as in ?we are witnessing the last remnants of LeAnn Rimes? career.? Harsh but true. While LeAnn still gets singing gigs and does some very limited ?tours? (are three or four stops really considered a ?tour??), her career is really not in a great place. I assume she has some money saved, although keeping Eddie Cibrian in the luxury by which he?s grown accustomed costs a pretty penny. I do worry about LeAnn?s finances because I generally think they are in shambles. Which is why she keeps recording music. She?s been aiming for a musical comeback for years now and nothing has stuck. To promote Remnants, LeAnn chatted with Billboard about how she?s totally let go of her ego. Sure, Jan.
The importance of ?remnants?: ?People say, ?Oh, she?s falling into pieces. She?s having a nervous breakdown. But no one talks about the beauty of falling apart.?
What she?s let go of: ?Well, my ego. That is something I?ve gratefully let go of. I started in the industry so young. I look back and I don?t even know how I am alive at this moment. That is probably the biggest feat in my life: surviving. I was a child star and I still get to make music as an adult. It feels like my best years aren?t behind me. The biggest thing that got me here was finding humility ? I cry talking about this sh-t. (She tears up.) It?s really deep. Once it wasn?t about my ego anymore, I became human. To be able to create from that place is incredible.
The cover image of LeAnn in front of a mirror: ?When you sit in front of a mirror, there?s no hiding. It?s interesting: I can?t stand to get dressed before a show, to look in the mirror and do my makeup. My mom had me all dolled up from when I was really young. So I?ve always been uncomfortable with it, with the insecurities that pop up. Especially when you?re getting ready to be so vulnerable [onstage], it?s like, ?Oh, God. I want to hide.? But as I get older, I?m more like, ?OK, I?m cool looking in a mirror.? Being in the public eye and social media if you don?t know yourself, you?ll be dragged into a very dark place.
The song ?Mother,? whether she wants to have kids: ?I would love to have kids. I?m taking it day by day ? I?m still young. The song is about how your parents are supposed to be superheroes, but of course they aren?t. There?s baggage they bring from their parents, and their parents? parents. When my mom ran away at 18 to marry my dad, her mom burned all her clothes. I?ve always been fearful of having children, because I didn?t want to pass that pain down. I wanted to heal myself before bringing a child into the world. I?m not even close to doing it, really, but I think that?s where the pain stops.
LGTBQ rights: Equality is a big thing for me, partially because I?ve been so picked apart and judged my whole life. I?m very aware of judgment. My uncle, who was gay, died of AIDS when I was 11, and my dad was the only one that showed up at his funeral that stuck with me. For anyone to put a boundary on love is insane to me. Why do people care so much about what someone else is doing? We?re talking about human rights. It?s 2017 and we?re really talking about this? It?s ridiculous.?

If you take LeAnn at face value, she?s not saying anything bad or controversial. But if I?m being honest, I chuckled to myself (and then felt guilty about it) when she teared up when she discussed how humble she is. Like, you can?t make this stuff up. She cries when she thinks about how amazingly humble she is. She almost burst into tears when talking about how she had to let go of her ego. Oh, honey.
One thing I?ll give her: I sort of believe that she doesn?t want to have a baby right now because she just isn?t sure if she would project all of her crappy drama onto an innocent baby. Hey, at least she?s self-aware enough to acknowledge that.

I was reading about how Ivanka Trump?s individual businesses are going to hell and my train of thought was ?Good, she shouldn?t even have her businesses while she?s in Washington? but what is she going to do in a few months once her father?s impeached?? Like, my mind wandered to a place of concern for Ivanka?s grifting if and (hopefully) when the Trumps are dragged out of the White House by armed guards. Still, it?s worth discussing. Ivanka, as we know, has her own line of clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry and more. Her stuff sells in department stores and beyond. But in the past few months, the #GrabYourWallet campaign has ended up doing some good: Ivanka?s line is no longer selling, and it?s gotten to the point where stores across the board are dumping her completely. Here?s the breakdown, provided by NY Mag:
Nordstrom: The company confirmed in early February that it would no longer be stocking new items from the Ivanka Trump line. ?We?ve said all along we make buying decisions based on performance,? a spokesperson for Nordstrom told Fortune. ?In this case, based on the brand?s performance, we?ve decided not to buy it for this season.? In response, the brand issued a statement saying it ?believe[s] that the strength of a brand is measured not only by the profits it generates, but the integrity it maintains.? Ivanka?s dad, meanwhile, was not pleased with the store?s decision. ?My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by Nordstrom,? he tweeted. ?Terrible!?
Neiman Marcus: Following the Nordstrom news, Neiman Marcus confirmed it would no longer sell Ivanka Trump?s high-end jewelry line. ?Based on productivity we continuously assess whether our brands are carried in stores, on our website, or both,? the store said in a statement, and apparently Ivanka?s wares didn?t make the cut.
Belk: Belk, a chain of department stores with about 300 locations in 16 states, also removed all Ivanka Trump products from its website and released a statement similar to Nordstrom?s and Neiman Marcus?s: ?We continually review our assortment and the performance of the brands we carry. And we make adjustments as part of our normal course of business operations.? Belk previously sold about 30 Ivanka Trump pieces.
T.J. Maxx & Marshalls: Neither brand has technically dropped Ivanka?s line, but according to a New York Times report, employees at both stores were told to throw away Ivanka Trump signs and to mix all merchandise from the lines into the rest of their clothing racks. ?We offer a rapidly changing selection of merchandise for our customers, and brands are featured based on a number of factors,? a spokesperson for TJX Companies ? the parent company of both stores ? told the Times. She declined to say whether instructions to literally throw a brand?s signs into the garbage were unusual, but one employee said she ?had not received such a request during her several years working there.?
Sears & Kmart: Over the weekend, Sears Holdings Corporation ? the company that owns both Sears and Kmart ? said both chains would cease to sell Trump Home items in their online stores. ?As part of the company?s initiative to optimize its online product assortment, we constantly refine that assortment to focus on our most profitable items ? Amid that streamlining effort, 31 Trump Home items were among the items removed online this week,? a spokesperson said. And while both stores still sell Ivanka Trump merchandise (albeit at discounted prices), the announcement could signal a changing relationship with the Trump brand.
Burlington: Burlington is the latest company to remove Ivanka Trump?s collection from its website ? over the weekend, all of her products mysteriously disappeared, although the retailer has yet to explain why. Maybe we?re going out on a limb here, but we?re guessing it has something to do with the brand?s ?performance.?
[From NY Magazine]
This is good news. While I never prioritized this #GrabYourWallet movement – I think it?s a good issue, but there are so many more pressing concerns, right? – I?m glad that so many stores are trying to get out of the normalizing-fascism business.
Also: last week, Kellyanne Conway shilled for Ivanka?s line live on Fox News, telling Fox News and its viewers to ?go buy Ivanka?s stuff.? Which is unethical and against so many regulations about public figures and public servants using their position to promote private brands. Kellyanne later apologized, sort of, and there were claims that Conway had been ?counseled? about the situation. As it turns out, Ivanka didn?t ask for Conway to say anything and Ivanka probably hates Conway a little bit anyway. A new Politico report claims Ivanka ?scolded? Conway for ?dragging her brand into an ethics mess and told her not to mention it again on TV? This was a continuation of a conversation that Ivanka Trump had with her father weeks earlier about leaving her business out of the politics, a conversation that Conway wasn?t aware of.? Yeah, I call bulls–t. Ivanka is sinking and all of these petty little leaks are just her way of trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I know I usually like to rag on rich kid models and point out how they’re only landing modeling contracts because of their famous parents. But let’s getreal here: Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora aren’t exactly A-listers anymore, and Galore Magazine isn’t Vogue. So instead of getting cynical about this latest beach photoshoot from Ava […]

I guess now that Aaron Rodgers is officially on vacation, it’s time for Olivia Munn to get back to work. And by “work,” I mean posting regular bikini pictures on Instagram. And that’s great news for the rest of us perverts, because it probably means we’ll be getting
