LeAnn Rimes Goes From Toned to Tiny, Says She's 'Healthy'

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Mar 16th 2011 02:00PM

We'd like to say that the pre-wedding glow looks good on LeAnn Rimes, but we're not sure it does. The country crooner stepped out looking skinnier than ever, and RadarOnline reports that her dramatic weight loss may be due to "pre-wedding stress."

Compared with images of Rimes from just a few months ago, her bony frame is a far cry from her once athletically toned bod.

But nutritionist Dr. Farid Zarif told Radar, "Just as a lot of people have a propensity to gain weight, others have the same ability to lose it, too."

Rimes isn't taking recent scrutiny regarding her weight lying down. In response to the criticism, she tweeted, "I don't care about the dumb articles. I know how healthy I am. Maybe those people should start taking care of themselves...inside and out," before joking that she should release a nude photo of herself so others could see that she is not as skinny as the photos depict.

Although we've heard of retouching and bad angles, these photos don't seem to lie.

So is it a case of pre-wedding jitters or pressure to comply with Hollywood's stick-thin standards? Zarif thinks it may be both.

"A lot of women try to lose weight to look good in their wedding dress, and somebody like LeAnn Rimes is under 'invisible pressure' to look a certain way for her fans also," he said.

Although Rimes and fiance Eddie Cibrian haven't announced their wedding date, if she is shedding for the wedding, we hope the nuptials are in the near future, before this skinny starlet disappears.

Just months ago Rimes stripped down to an itsy-bitsy bikini for Shape, telling the magazine that she maintains her toned body by throwing a mean right hook.

"Going to the gym and punching out some of my aggression on a pair of mitts has been a lifesaver," she told the magazine. "Sometimes I felt so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed, so just getting to the gym -- even for a few minutes -- was a big accomplishment."

From the looks of Rimes, she's been dealing with the some major aggression lately.

SHe looks way too old as most anorexia people do.

By Anne

What does it matter. She looks anorexic but she is ugly , slim, normal or whatever. Ugly inside and outside. The jerk she is going to marry only is hanging around cause he found a permanent meal ticket.

By bigD

That is an eating disorder period. People who are calling her names remind me of children in the school yard who don't know any better. You need to grow up!!! This is NOT funny.

By jillijo

Rather ugly and sick looking....maybe she should go to rehab with lohan

By pamelachaney

I thought she was butt ugly when she looked "healthy!" Now she just looks gross. Plain out gross.

Men want curves, lady!! Get it??????????

Get a life...you bulimic, self-absorbed, train-wreck.

Tryouts are tomorrow for the annual Miss Trailer Park Trash. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

More like pure sad. When she first broke out, I saw TROUBLE AHEAD. Then she married & seemed to settle down & continued to sing & I tho't I was wrong. & then she took up with this married man & broke up her own marriage over it...rut-roh. & now this...the trouble is surfacing. I'm so, so sorry. No matter what you think, please just try some counseling. It can't hurt.

Anorexic

By Roseann

Absolutely. My daughter battled anorexia. The look is shocking. The statement that she isn't skinny... that's a diagnosis. Breaks my heart.

By jollygin

She needs a supersized banana milk shake.

By Linda

So sad that someone so talented can't see what she's doing to herself. Anorexic indeed.

If the photos are real, she looks like she is going to die...........really awful...........

By Pauline

I agree - how Lee Ann can think she looks good is a mystery to me. Even her chest looks boney. It seems that so many people have to deal with depression even though many times they are looking forward to a happy marriage, already have a good career and are seemingly healthy. What is going on these days? Lee Ann was so pretty when she came out with "Blue" but, like many teens, she wanted to grow up too fast. She may resent someone mentioning her huge loss of weight but, hopefully, she is not suffering from anything affecting her weight and should appreciate those people who are concerned about her.

By Joy

I love LeeAnn Rimes voice but she looks disgusting here she is way too skinny....Is there any reasons for this she always looked great before........

By barb

OMG another anorexia star who thinks she is fat.
She needs to eat something today. lol

By ggmil43

Think she's lost not only weight, but her 'marbles'. She looks like Hell. What guy wants skin stretched over bones. It's Karma for LeAnn. She took a man away from his 'beautiful' wife and now she's paying the piper. He'll dump her once he has his hands on some of her cash, betcha! It's not weight loss from stress, she's had that all her life. She's probably on pills, for weight loss and has low self-esteem, that's the reason for dropping all her weight. Poor Self-Esteem. She has been the 'target' of bad words since she is now known as a marriage breaker. Glad her ex-is doing well. Poor guy he must have been shocked. She isn't the 'sweet little thing' everyone thought she was. If she gets any thinner we won't see her at all, and maybe that'll be good!

I find it really disgusting that you call HER the home wrecker when the guy was married too! Get a clue, if he had been the faithful kind then NO ONE could have gotten him away from his wife and marriage.

Don't two people deserve to be happy if they aren't happy with who they originally chose to marry?

It takes two to break up a marriage
