Here are some newish photos of LeAnn Rimes performing in Hammersmith (UK) last night. This outfit is definitely more flattering than some of her previous concert costumes, although I’m not sure why the tunic is unbuttoned like that and why her bra is hanging out. In case you’re still wondering if LeAnn is “acting out” with her “illnesses” to get her husband’s attention, she did tweet the below photo with the message “This is not my trip. Going to see if it’s broken.” That was earlier today.
So, I imagine she will find an excuse – any excuse at this point – to come back to LA and have Eddie take care of her. In the meantime, we can enjoy LeAnn’s new interview. She sat down with Closer (a British tabloid) to discuss body image:
From scary skinny to toned and healthy, LeAnn Rimes has put her weight struggles behind her and is proud of her banging new body. The 31 year wife of Eddie Cibrian has opened up about her shock over seeing how she had slimmed down and how she managed to put weight back on.
“I look back at those photos and think, ‘Wow, maybe I was a little thin,’ but at the time, I didn’t think anything of it. I’m glad to have a little more meat on me now,” LeAnn told Closer magazine.
She said that she dropped pounds after dealing with the stress of her hubby’s ex, Brandi Glanville, and the on-line backlash she was fighting against.
“That was just the way my body was handling the stress. Some people stress-eat and I did the complete opposite.”
LeAnn said that she sought help in rehab for her issues.
“So I chose to take time out [in rehab] and focus on me.”
LeAnn said she’s a fan of British food, telling Closer what she likes to eat.
“I love tucking into fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and Wagamama’s. I try to eat healthily, but I love food too much to give up on anything. Working out helps me focus and I love to box.”
While her relationship with Brandi might be strained, LeAnn says that she and her husband Eddie are closer than ever but that they’re not planning on expanding their brood.
“I feel very blessed to have two wonderful boys,” she says about step sons Mason and Jake Cibrian. “We have talked about having more kids, but right now I love being a ‘bonus mum,’ so there isn’t any rush.”
Do you really think LeAnn was “handling the stress” (the stress of Single White Female-ing Brandi?) by losing weight? Granted, some people are like that. Some people get really stressed out and they can’t eat or they work off nervous energy by exercising or whatever. But I wonder if LeAnn is really one of those people. I think she got so thin because she wanted to get that thin, because she wanted to have Brandi’s body. Because Brandi had told her, long ago, that Eddie likes really thin women. But whatever, she does look better nowadays and that’s a good thing.
