LeAnn Rimes Shows Off 'Curves' Over July 4th Holiday (Photo)

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jul 5th 2011 07:30PM

LeAnn Rimes' slender physique has been criticized time and time again, but the newlywed actress certainly wasn't shy about showing off her skinny self in Malibu over the long weekend.

Donning only a red string bikini, Rimes took to Twitter to show off her "curves," tweeting black-and-white photos of herself on the beach on Sunday.

Rimes has been criticized about looking too skinny these days, causing her trainer, named Michael Jackson, to speak out in her defense.

"I know it really bothers her," Jackson told FOX411.com about all the press surrounding Rimes' body. "A lot of people see pictures of LeAnn and assume certain things. But we're in the process of putting a video together that she'll post to her blog so that people will see what it is that we're doing to get her in shape ... know she's really anxious to show people -- excuse my French -- that she takes her s**t seriously."

Jackson also revealed a healthy diet -- "a lot of lean meats -- fish, chicken -- maybe on occasion, lean turkey" and strength training has helped Rimes get into shape.

"With LeAnn, the one thing I do is boxing -- it's all about boxing," said Jackson. "We use hand mitts and boxing gloves."

Although some maybe-not-so-flattering pics of the actress looking very thin have popped up in recent months, Jackson said she's working hard to look healthy.

"She's really focused, and I think that's what a lot of people don't see -- all the hard work and dedication that she's put in," he said. "[Her weight] is not an issue -- this is [a result of] her lifestyle."

But last weekend was all about family fun for Rimes, who tweeted her patriotism on Monday.

"Happy 4th Of July!!!!! I hope everyone has a safe and blissful 4th w/ your family and friends," she wrote on Twitter.

It's called being in shape. Foreign to most American women who are for the most part trembling mounds of cellulite. Jiggle thy lard tails to the gym, rather than trying to verbally make your lardy selves the norm.

I don't know anything about her personality, but her body is the epitome of what every woman should strive to look like. Her body is unbelievably sexy. Looks like someone drew it, like a female superhero, it is so unreal.

By ebicious

She is ugly, that's for sure.

By TuTu

she seems happy so leave her alone, she is certainly toooo skinny but thats the only way she can keep a husband so be it. if it works for them, then who are we to say no? skinny? yes, happy? yes.

By vickie

so...she really does watch her weight because she was chunky at one time...but her face was prettier when she had some weight on her.....

By Frannie

It amazes me how self-obsessed LeAnn really is. Does she think by her nonstop tweeting and photo taking that she will convince everyone that she is a goddess instead of a homewrecker? What a shallow, silly, vain woman. She has no consideration whatsoever for Cibrian's previous family..it's ALL about LeAnn and how she gets her man..pathetic waste of skin.

Frank, stop staring at me, you're creeping me out!

Get a clue, that's what celebrities do, they tweet pics of themselves all the time to stay in the limelight, that's their job in order to stay relevant. If you think she's way too thin, your clients must all be a happy size 12!

By jt

I wouldn't throw her out of bed for being skinny!!

Jim, you're way too nice, you don't belong here, but it is refreshing, and I agree with you!

There isn't one curve on that chick's body. She doesn't even have hips.

By lwb357

She has awesome hips. They are one of her best features.

By Shaxvii

She really doesn't..

By gary

Closer to the bone sweeter the meat...What meat???

What curves? She doesn't have anything... I love the woman but her body is not all that. She just looks thin is all... I don't see what the big deal is???

By bgy1

anyone who thinks she is unsightly and skinny is probably a fat, obese slob who is in denial about what a human body is SUPPOSED to look like. You aren't supposed to wear baggy clothes who hide rolls of fat and inflated butts/bellies. The human body was not designed to eat fast food and processed food and drink soda pop. She looks amazing and she should motivate people to take their own health seriously and put their own physical shapes into perspective to make POSITIVE changes. Denial and talking trash about other people who look great is not healthy.

Whats that guy holding in his hand?

Sssshech!
I wish I looked so "bad"!!!!

By Krissi

I agree that she looks amazing! Would love to have a body like her. With that being said.. i will go get on the elliptical now! Motivation!!
