LeAnn Rimes is no stranger to criticism. She's faced a lot of judgement in the past because of her body shape and her relationships.

Last year, photos surfaced of a bikini-clad Rimes looking super thin (almost skeletal), prompting rumors she was battling an eating disorder.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, she explained: "People said I was anorexic, but I didn't have a problem with eating." Rather, she indulged "all the time," and a lack of sleep made her sick. "My mind wouldn't shut off," she said.

Last summer the singer entered an in-treatment rehab program for stress and an...

LeAnn Rimes showed off her bikini bod in Miami over the weekend, taking the opportunity to flaunt her curves while answering her cell phone. The country singer appears to have put on some weight, looking healthy and happy.

"South Beach is so gorgeous today. Gonna be a fun day OFF!!!" she tweeted Saturday.

LeAnn Rimes wants to play country singer Mindy McCready, who shot herself dead last month, in a big screen movie about her life.

Though she's best known as a singer, Rimes ha...

Which celebrities would probably make horrible parents?

Here's our latest list of stars who aren't exactly good role models for kids now, so having their own probably isn't a good idea.

Some made the list based on their appearances (scary), trouble with the law, inability to keep their bedroom door closed, mental issues or just being too into themselves.

Our first list included such *ahem* stars as Snooki, who had just given birth to her first child, Lindsay Lohan, and two stars who are now expecting their first child together -- Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The Blue hit-maker suffered an allergic reaction earlier this month and woke up over the weekend to discover she could not speak properly. Rimes consulted a doctor, who told her to rest her vocal cords for two weeks, but she defied the medic's orders to appear on Jimmy Kimmel's TV show on Tuesday night.

Beyonce's purported lip syncing at President Obama's inauguration on Monday made headlines yesterday, and singers Jennifer Lopez and LeAnn Rimes gave their two cents during Tuesday night talk shows.

Rimes supported the R&B star, telling Jimmy Kimmel: "There are times when people will ask you to do it and they will not let you do it unless you do it because they want control over what happens."

Of course, that doesn't explain why...

Once a cheater, always a cheater? Singer LeAnn Rimes worries that her husband Eddie Cibrian might stray because the couple's romance stemmed from an affair while both of them were married to other people.

The couple met while filming the 2009 made-for-television movie "Northern Lights," and their affair was made public after they were taped kissing each other at a restaurant.

Later that year Rimes divorced her dancer husband Dean Sheremet, and the actor left his wife Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two children. Rimes and Cibrian wed in 2011.

2012 saw its fair share of celebrities showing off their sexy curves in bikinis at the beach (and one-piece suits as well), but which stars were the sexiest of all?

Some were snapped by the paps, while others discovered the magic of Instagram and shared photos nearly every time they went, minimally clothed for some sun, sand & surf.

Stars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna seemed to post their sexy shots the most, while supermodel Bar Refaeli shared lots of photos with her fans.

Britney Spears got her bod back to its rockin' old form; while Stephanie Seymour, 44, and Daisy Fuentes, 46, prov...

It's the end of the year, and while Barbara Walters is talking about the 10 Most Fascinating People Of 2012 and Time magazine is putting out their annual list of a hundred 'most influential' people (most of whom have names we can't pronounce), we decided to put together our own list of the 10 people we think who have contributed to society in a negative way this year.

We know, we know, the holidays are a time for celebration! But there are those out there who find the time to be depressing and miserable, so we hope this list lifts their spirits and gives them a little laugh; because, judgi...

LeAnn Rimes made some waves while performing live on "The X Factor" on Wednesday - and not in a good way.

The singer and contestant Carly Rose Sonenclar collaborated on Rimes' hit 1997 song "How Do I Live." The pop star appeared to miss a few notes and messed up some of her lyrics.

Rimes joined Carly Rose Sonenclar for a cover of ”Without You,” and while the X Factor finalist delivered a strong performance, Rimes was less than stellar.

LeAnn Rimes broke down in tears during an interview with E!'s Giuliana Rancic on Sunday night, saying that her highly publicized affair with actor Eddie Cibrian wasn't intended to hurt anyone and that the two stars' marriages were on the outs anyway.

The Country singer and the former CSI Miami star were both married to other people when they met and fell for each other on the set of a 2009 made-for-TV movie, prompting them to leave their spouses to be together and, ultimately, marry.

"Why act on it, when you're both married and you both have families?" Rancic asked.

LeAnn Rimes says becoming famous as a young girl and a lack of a proper childhood led to a lifetime of struggle.

The singer started her music career at age 11 and had her fist big hit, "Blue," when she was just 13. The pressures of fame made her buy her anxiety and stress until she could no longer contain her feelings.

In August she turned 30 and entered a 30-day treatment program to deal with her emotional breakdown.

Rimes told Katie Couric: "I think it boils down to basically a loss of childhood. I didn't really have a childhood, and as a kid I was pretty much told to, if anyone asked ...

Country star LeAnn Rimes has given an anti-bullying campaign a big boost by publicly pledging her support.

With all the temptations in Hollywood, it's not unusual for someone in a committed relationship to stray. In fact, these days it seems quite common for stars to cheat.

Sometimes actors begin their affairs while on the film set far from home. Other times they're marriages are failing, and they find new partners to make them happy.

Whatever the reason, people cheat. And if you happen to be famous, the world often hears about it.
