Has Lifetime Television succumbed to the unscrupulous PR tactics that everyone else seems to be using these days? Leann Rimes co-star on the Lifetime tv movie “Northern Lights” Eddie Cibrian is admantly denying all reports that the pair had an extra-marital affair.

“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 on Wednesday. “It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.”

Leann’s husband is also taking the news rather well..even posting “I love my wife” on twitter.

It makes perfect sense to me that this could be a fake story to generate interest in Leann’s new movie. It also makes sense that Eddie C. might be trying to cover his ass with his wife.
