Country music star LeAnn Rimes runs off stage after teeth fall out mid-concert
The I Need You singer was mid-song at The Skagit Casino Resort in Washington recently when her dental bridge became detached.
'Last night I was on stage, in the middle of [singing] One Way Ticket, ' Rimes shared in a video posted to her Instagram.
'I feel something pop in my mouth,' she continued. 'And if you've been around, you know I've had a lot of dental surgeries and I have a bridge in the front and it fell out in the middle of my song last night.'
The pop star, 42, said she 'panicked' before running to the side of the stage to secure her prosthetic teeth and swiftly returned back to the microphone.
'Then I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening or else I would have had to walk off stage,' she shared.
'And so, for the rest of the show, I was literally like this, pushing my teeth in.'
Rimes said she had to push her teeth back in 'every couple lines' while she singing her tunes and noted that it was in that moment she realised her song, Can't Fight the Moonlight, had several Fs, THs, and SHs.
'Like, Can't Fight the Moonlight, [the teeth] completely fell in my mouth,' she recalled.
Fortunately, Rimes laughed off the dental disaster and even called it 'the most epic experience ever.'
'I don't usually have firsts in my career. That was a first and hopefully a last,' she said.
Rimes hoped her teeth would stay in for her performance at the same venue later that night.
'We shall see,' she said before joking, 'The front row, get ready for something to fly out. If you catch them, please return them.'
Rimes said she decided to take to social media to show fans that she was 'keepin' it real.'
'Like I said, there wasn't a f***ing thing I could do about it except either walk off, or just hold my teeth in and sing, so I just ran with it,' she said. 'The show can go on, even in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment. You just gotta be real with people.'
As for the status of her faulty dental bridge, Rimes said 'It's all good.'
'They're in for now,' she said, adding that the mishap was the most 'epic' example of how the show must go on.

‘Too woke': Star rages after being cut from ‘And Just Like That'
Bobby Lee thinks wokeness is to blame for his exit from And Just Like That, the New York Post reports. The comedian, 53, spoke to Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend about why he wasn't asked to reprise his role as Jackie Nee, Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) podcast co-host, on the third season of the show. 'Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,' Lee stated. 'I think Sara [Ramirez] didn't come back and some other people,' he added. 'They tried to put minorities in, and — I don't know. I never saw the show.' Lee departed AJLT between Seasons 2 and 3, as did Ramirez, who played Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) non-binary love interest Che Díaz, and Karen Pittman, who played Dr. Nya Wallace. Season 2 wrapped up Carrie's podcast storyline, which allowed the show to write off Lee and Ramirez. 'Number one, I don't even know why they asked,' Lee told EW about being cast in the HBO Max series. 'And I was super scared to do it. Because it wasn't my brand, really. You know what I mean? But I did it. I walked through the fear.' Lee added that getting to work with Parker, 60, was a highlight of the experience. 'Sarah Jessica Parker is the nicest person I've ever met. She made me feel so at ease,' he shared. 'I like everyone on there. It was fun. I never have bad blood with anybody. You know what I mean? I am nice. I show up on time.' Lee previously revealed that working on the Sex and the City reboot pushed him to get sober. 'I was in Hawaii and I was blackout drunk and my agent called and said, 'They need you in New York,'' he recalled on Rachel Bilson's Broad Ideas podcast in 2023. 'This is one of the reasons why I'm sober … On the plane, I thought, 'I'm just gonna get sh*t faced,' so I was in a blackout when we landed in New York.' Lee said that he learned he was expected to film AJLT that day when he realised that his driver wasn't taking him to his hotel. 'I remember going and being so high and drunk,' Lee revealed. 'When I was reading the script, I couldn't even understand what the f*ck it was even saying. It was a nightmare. I remember thinking, 'This is never going to happen again — I have to get sober.'' New episodes of And Just Like That stream Thursdays at 11am AEST on HBO Max.

‘Are you joking?': Age-gap debate erupts over potential new celeb romance
There's been a flurry of excitement over the very idea that Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson could be dating, but there's also a growing sense people are over the age-gap romance. Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, are currently promoting their film The Naked Gun, and in true Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell style, everyone's wondering if their on-screen chemistry has translated to a real-life love affair, as both gush about each other while on the press circut. Anderson described Neeson as the 'perfect gentleman' and someone with whom she has a connection. 'I have a friend forever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy,' she said. Meanwhile, Neeson praised Anderson for having zero ego, claiming he was 'madly in love with her' platonically as she's terrific to work with. 'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you,' he said. It's an absolute lovefest, and rooting for them as a couple is an extra layer of fun for fans because both have been unlucky in love. Anderson has been married five times, and Neeson tragically lost his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009, and has never remarried. It isn't unusual for co-stars to become close when trying to promote a movie, but online people are really loving the idea of the pair dating. 'I would absolutely love these two together,' one gushed. Someone called them 'extremely cute', another fan said they'd make a 'hot' couple, and someone else described the match as 'truly adorable' if true. In a real sign that things are changing, there are also people disapproving of the 15-year age gap. 'Problematic age-gap,' one person claimed. 'Gross!' Another remarked. 'When Pamela was being born, Liam Neeson would already been in a 10th grader. A 10th grader,' someone else pointed out. There were, of course, people slamming those who were upset by the age gap, with someone asking, 'Are you joking?' and another pointing out that they're both 'grown adults,' so it is fine. While someone said it was 'definitely not' problematic, but argued that if one was in their 40s and the other in their 20s, it would be. Today is a far cry from years past, before these debates could be had in comment sections across the internet. People didn't even really blink when Tom Cruise married Katie Holmes, 16 years his junior, in 2016. There certainly wasn't much concern when George Clooney married Amal Clooney, who is 17 years his junior, in 2014. The cultural response to age gaps in the early 2000s was so blasé that people are still surprised to learn that Ryan Reynolds is a decade older than Blake Lively. Age gaps just weren't conversation starters, so the fact that people online are even flagging or noticing a potential couple's 15-year age gap says everything. People went from not being outraged at men in their late 40s marrying women in their 20s to people being upset about a potential age-gap romance between two movie stars who both have adult children. The culture has shifted, or at the very least is shifting.
