There are a lot of things going on with LeAnn Rimes this week, after celebrating the big 3-0 she entered rehab for stress, and sued two people for invasion of privacy.

 

Hours after celebrating her birthday with husband Eddie Cibrian, her family and close friends, the country star entered rehab to learn how to deal with extreme stress and anxiety.

 

Amidst reports she’s struggling with drug abuse, or a possible eating disorder, the blonde singer told The Sun: “This is just a time for me to emotionally check out for a second and take care of myself and come back in 30 days as the best 30-year-old woman I can be. 

 

“All the things in my life will be there when I get out, but you know what? I'm hoping they're not going to affect me as much. I'll have the tools to know how to deal with them.” 

 

Reports confirm her step to enter rehab was partly because of two women invading her privacy.

 

Rimes, with the help of her lawyer, filed a lawsuit against two women who are allegedly fans of Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian’s ex-wife.

 

Rimes claims the two women recorded a private conversation last spring and distributed it online to malign the singer, and this has caused the country star emotional distress. 

 

On the other hand, Brandi Glanville had nothing but great words for Rimes as quoted by The Sun: “I am wishing her all the best and I hope she will find what she is looking for while in rehab."
