Brought To You By Lifetime And The Country Music Awards

"How do I live without you?" By having an affair and sort of forgetting about your spouse.

According to Us Weekly, very married country singer LeAnn Rimes and her equally married co-star Eddie Cibrian are starring in their own steamy "television for woman" drama, off-camera. The two worked together on a Lifetime movie, Northern Lights, and evidently the action didn't end when the director called, "Cut."

The dishy mag got a hold of security camera footage of the two kissing at a Laguna Beach restaurant and reportedly they spent a sizzling three hours together in a motel room in Malibu. Maybe it was just research. You know, like a Less Strasberg-esque form of method acting or whatever it is Joaquin Phoenix is doing lately.

We imagine the wheels are already turning in Jessica Simpson and Jaime Lynn Spears' camps to figure out a way to use this sudsy soap to their twangy advantage.

LeAnn is currently married to Dean Sheremt, her twinkly (allegedly!) former back-up dancer who is now her makeup artist and stylist. The two married seven years ago when she was 19 and her gaydar was evidently still in beta testing.

She didn't exactly deny the allegations on her website: "This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support. I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white."

Which reading between the lines we think means: "Yeah, so I did a Liza Minelli to get out my parent's control but we're really good friends who enjoy shopping and talking about boys. He totally thinks Eddie is hot!"

LeAnn's cuckolded hubby issued his own statement on the situation with an update on his Twitter page, "I love my wife." And her paycheck and the lifestyle to which I've become accustomed.

Coincidentally, Northern Lights premieres this Saturday, so hats off to Lifetime's marketing department on this one. And not that we don't appreciate their efforts, but we'd really like it if they'd do us a solid and resolve the whole Project Runway thing with Bravo, thanks.
