When the youngest Grammy Award winner ever, gorgeous LeAnn Rimes, opens the first of six shows over the next three weeks at Treasure Island tonight, her tangled romance with actor Eddie Cibrian goes under the full public glare again.

The controversial couple, each of whom ended longtime marriages to start their own relationship, will be front and center at hotel mogul Phil Ruffin’s Strip property acquired from MGM Mirage in a megabucks deal this year.

Less than six months ago, 27-year-old LeAnn and Eddie, 36, denied their affair, and even when they ended their marriages, they were still trying to keep under the radar. They avoided being photographed or seen together during the messy fallout of their respective splits.

This weekend no more! They will be right in the spotlight here -- on the heels of them being seen at the Texas Longhorns-Oklahoma Sooners game, playing golf together and then holding hands and walking arm in arm for paparazzi at the hot celebrity restaurant Katsuya in West Hollywood yesterday.

LeAnn plays T.I. tonight and tomorrow, and then returns again for the next two weekends on Oct. 29 and 30 and again Nov. 5 and 6.

LeAnn and Eddie met this year on the set of their Lifetime movie Northern Lights. Eddie is the father of two children with Brandy Glanville, and they filed for divorce in August. LeAnn, who was married to dancer Dean Sheremet for seven years, says her next album in the spring will be self-penned songs about the recent turmoil of heartbreak and love in her life.

The album, Family, on which she wrote or co-wrote every track, features “What I Cannot Change,” which she says she’ll sing while at T.I. LeAnn says: “I’m really happy. With work and my personal life, everything’s good. It really is.”
