Brandi Glanville Denies Eddie Cibrian Affair

Brandi Glanville is lashing out over online rumors that she’s been having an affair with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, insisting she would “never do that.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been linked to her ex since his current wife, LeAnn Rimes, checked into a treatment facility last month. “I’m NOT cheating with my ex husband I would never do that #EWWWWWW,” Glanville, who has publicly supported Rimes , wrote on Twitter Sunday. Glanville and Rimes have famously been at odds since her affair with Cibrian when he was still married to Brandi and LeAnn was Mrs. Dean Sheremet. Despite a bitter relationship that included Glanvile threatening to kill LeAnn, she, Eddie and Rimes appeared to have reached a truce in recent months. “I totally support LeAnn’s decision to enter rehab,” she said in a statement. “My top priority is my children and at the end of the day we are a family.” Rumors persisted that LeAnn’s stress and anxiety issues stem from Glanville finally getting revenge for Rimes’ wrecking her marriage to the actor. Not the case, she insists, though the affair likely played an indirect role in driving LeAnn to seek treatment. She’s endured merciless bullying over it. The country star left her in-patient treatment program Friday for three days of concerts. She’s announced she’ll be returning to the facility Monday. [Photos: WENN.com]

Bill Clinton Defends, Stumps For Barack Obama in Epic Democratic National Convention Speech

No one does it quite like Bill Clinton. The 42nd U.S. President offered a rousing endorsement of Barack Obama’s record last night at the Democratic National Convention, holding the audience captive for over 48 minutes and proving that even a quadruple bypass can’t slow him down. Whether you agree with Clinton’s political views or not, his DNC speech was folksy, detailed and compelling, offering a more cogent defense of Obama’s tenure in the White House than its current occupant himself has ever given.

President Obama Responds to Clint Eastwood RNC Speech: This Seat’s Taken!

Clint Eastwood’s Invisible Obama routine was the talk of the 2012 Republican National Convention, and it caught the attention of the Commander-in-Chief himself. Before Mitt Romney’s RNC speech last night, the actor, director and ardent GOPer made a rambling speech that featured him talking to “Obama” in an empty chair. The President’s response? A picture – sent from @BarackObama, run by his campaign – of him sitting in a chair marked The President. The caption: “This seat’s taken.” Eastwood’s unorthodox speech instantly spawned memes galore, not to mention an @InvisibleObama Twitter account, which already has more than 47,000 followers. No word if Clint and/or Mitt have friended the invisible POTUS on there, but his bit – for better or worse – was unquestionably a highlight of the RNC. “So I’ve got Mr. Obama sitting here … Mr. President, how do you handle promises you’ve made?” the 82-year-old Oscar winner asked the chair at one point. You can see for yourself below … but spoiler alert, it gave no response.
