LeAnn Rimes on Celebrity Diet Pressures

The country music singing sensation LeAnn Rimes is on the July cover of Shape magazine along with Julianne Hough and Martina McBride. LeAnn didn’t have much to say when it comes to her own specific diet and/or exercise, instead her responses focused more on being a celebrity and the pressures that accompany stardom. She did mention however that she does have to diet,
“…all the time. But there are days when you can’t stop yourself!”
When asked her opinion about the recent pressures that fellow country singer Jessica Simpson underwent when she put on a few pounds over the winter, LeAnn had plenty to say:
“I think it’s just sad for someone to be picked on like that for gaining a few pounds here or there. Women’s bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Look at the three of us [Julianne Hough and Martina McBride]: We have completely different bodies, which is a good thing. Wouldn’t it be bad if we all looked the same?”
She went on to explain that she too feels the celebrity pressures but she’s used to it, but she doesn’t like it when her family gets brought into it:
“I’ve been in the tabloids recently too, and it’s been really hard for me [they reported she was romantically linked to her married Northern Lights co-star, Eddie Cibrian]. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 14, so I have a tough skin. It’s fine dragging me through the mud, but don’t drag my loved ones through it. They’re my family, and it hurts them. All I’ll say is, I know what’s in my heart and what’s true.”
LeAnn has been in the limelight for years and it’s nice to see how after all of this time she is still so well-respected in the music industry even though the tabloids continue to do their dirty work. She is a great role model for young women.
