When LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian first began their affair back in 2009, LeAnn had a regular, athletic type of body. She wasn’t chubby, despite what Brandi Glanville says. But as soon as LeAnn “got” her man, LeAnn began losing weight. It got pretty bad, if you remember. What made it worse was that LeAnn seemed weirdly proud of just how emaciated she looked, and those were the days when she would take endless bikini selfies of her bones jutting out, and it felt like her Twitter feed was just some kind of pro-ana propaganda.

Then things began to smooth out – Brandi called LeAnn out on her use of laxatives, LeAnn “went into rehab” (for Twitter) and some say LeAnn was even trying to get pregnant. All of that meant that LeAnn’s body went back to her pre-Eddie figure. It was nice. It seemed healthier. I had my fingers crossed that Eddie was supportive of LeAnn, no matter what her size. But according to Star Mag, LeAnn is going through another “must get thin or Eddie will leave me” phase:

For LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, “till death do us part” may actually mean “until you go up a size.” An insider tells Star that LeAnn is desperately trying to lose weight – and hang on to her husband.

“She told me, ‘I have to look skinny for Eddie,’” confesses the friend. “Eddie loves thin women and would never have a fat woman in his life.”

Another factor [Editor’s note: I almost wrote “Another Falcor”] is LeAnn’s obsession with Eddie’s supersvelte ex-wife, Brandi Glanville.

“Brandi is very thin naturally, so now LeAnn is focused on being thin again too,” says the spy, adding that LeAnn’s weight-loss methods are unhealthy and dangerous. “She got really skinny taking ADD medication and laxatives, then got off them to get pregnant. But now she feels fat and is back on all the pills again. It’s sad.”

LeAnn was taking Adderall to stay thin? That makes some sense, looking back. Think about how cracked-out Lindsay Lohan acted when she was popping Adderall on the reg. Now think about LeAnn’s sometimes manic behavior. Plus, you’re not supposed to drink when you’re on Adderall, so that probably contributed too.

I’m including that photo which LeAnn posted just before NYE, which she claims she had taken during a workout. Many of you thought it was an old photo that LeAnn had repurposed to make all of us believe that she was still that thin. I don’t know… as quickly as she gained weight last year, she seems to have taken some off.
