LeAnn Rimes is getting paid to make out with a stranger!

LeAnn Rimes is set to star in a new Lifetime network movie based off a book by Norah Roberts called Northern Lights.

LeAnn will play a tough pilot named Meg Galloway.

“She’s a very complex individual, kind of a tough girl, bad ass…. And that kind of gets broken down. She falls in love with a new guy in town,” LeAnn tells us.

WAIT A MINUTE! Does this mean LeAnn will be locking lips with some stranger actor dude?

“I definitely will be making out with someone. We are not sure who yet. I think I know who but I can’t say yet.”

Zoinks!

What does her hubby, Dean Sheremet, say about this?

“I’m fine with this,” Dean says.

“I said if you look awkward it’s gonna look even worse. I said you better go for it. So it doesn’t bother me, I’m a very confident person.”

You go, Dean!

Meanwhile, the movie also has a twist.

“She thinks her dad left her 20 years ago, her and her mom. She blames her mom for a lot of it. And they find out that her dad’s been dead this whole time. She’s having a part in trying to uncover the mystery of who killed her dad.”

High drama!

The movie shoots in mid-November in Calgary, in Canada.
