LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes, LeAnn Rimes wanted to appear on Chelsea Handler’s late night show because the host had been “talking s**t” about her. The country songstress was a guest on Chelsea Lately on Thursday night, armed with a humorous attitude towards the show’s presenter.

Chelsea famously poked fun at the star during her divorce from back-up dancer Dean Sheremet.

Both women jokingly addressed the spat when LeAnn appeared on the show.

“Welcome to my show: I know that you’ve seen me talking sh*t about you on the show,” Chelsea quipped, before LeAnn responded: “Absolutely. I have, which is more why I wanted to come on.”

LeAnn is now happily married to Eddie Cibrian – with whom she had an extramarital affair prior to her split from Dean.

The singer says Chelsea’s light-hearted quips were what saw her through her roughest times during the break-up – even if she was the butt of the jokes.

“I watched your show religiously I was bawling my eyes out and I was watching… and I was watching your show thinking I could get a laugh out of it, instead I was laughing at you laughing at me. It was the first time I could laugh and cry at the same time. Those are great memories for me,” she mused.

“Well, your divorce was great memories for me too,” Chelsea added.
