As we reported earlier, Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes are engaged. But as happy as the two are with each other, they’re not happy that we know it yet!

Rimes and Cibrian are “pissed” that the engagement news broke, E! News reports, since they planned to cash in by selling the exclusive story. OOPS!

Eddie in particular is far from pleased, as exclusive pics and the requisite “over the moon” pullout quotes would have netted some nice bank. Oh well!

Eddie and LeAnn are engaged (and upset they couldn’t milk it).

Interestingly, Rimes happened to pull a no-show at an event last night.

The bride-to-be was expected to attend a party celebrating her October Shape cover (which hit stands in early September, oddly enough), and curiously, ended up a no-show. Reps for the magazine said Rimes’ absence was due to sickness.

For her part, Rimes has been tweeting furiously for the past two days (including well into last night), and made numerous mentions of battling the flu.

Here’s hoping she gets well soon … and gets over the whole missed celebrity gossip opportunity. There’s always the wedding photos, CibriAnn.
