LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian’s Alleged Affair Brings In Big Ratings For Lifetime

LeAnn Rimes alleged affair with her “Northern Lights” co-star Eddie Cibrian has paid off – at least, in the ratings department.

“Northern Lights,” the Lifetime movie starring Rimes and Cibrian, drew 4.5 million viewers on Saturday night – making it the most-watched movie of the year for the cable channel.

Rimes and Cibrian, who are both married, spoke out against the reports of an alleged affair, first published by Us Weekly.

“This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones,” Rimes wrote on her Web site. “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 black and white.”

Meanwhile, Cibrian was more direct with his statement to Access Hollywood, denying the alleged tryst.

“Other than being friends and two actors who were romantically intertwined in a movie-for-television we filmed last fall, there is no truth to the reporting initiated by US Magazine,” Eddie said in a statement to Access Hollywood last week. “It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.”
