LeAnn Rimes: I take like 20 pills in the morning and 20 at night

May 2024 · 4 minute read

Here are some assorted photos of LeAnn Rimes from the past few weeks – a combo of Instagram photos and some pics of LeAnn and Eddie out to dinner two weekends ago. I just haven’t been talking about LeAnn so much lately because it just felt like the same-old, same-old. LeAnn is also supposed to make a “big announcement” today, which some people believe will be a pregnancy announcement, but my guess is that she’ll be announcing some music project, album or half-baked tour. I will update if and when she makes the big announcement.

LeAnn gave a new interview to Into The Gloss – you can read the full piece here. LeAnn chats about the paparazzi, her psoriasis, and more. Some of the interview is just a list of what products LeAnn uses on her face and skin, which I don’t really care about. Some highlights:

The paparazzi & fashion: “I try not to let the paparazzi affect what I do or wear, but sometimes they do. I think, as women, we’re constantly judged on everything we do and say and wear. I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about it, but at the same time there’s moments when I just don’t care. Of course, those are the times they catch me and say ‘Look at LeAnn! She looks so frumpy.’ Well, of course I do. I just rolled out of bed and am basically in my pajamas! I have to have those days, though. It’s just too intense not to.”

She’s on Humira: “I’ve had really bad psoriasis since I was 2. You’d never know it now, but I’ve been dealing with it a long time. I had to wear a lot of long pants or jeans and two or three pairs of pantyhose in the summertime. It was a nightmare. I started taking a biologic drug. I take a shot every two weeks, and I hate needles, but that’s what I had to do to get my skin clear. I went through every type of treatment known to man. Now, I’m on Humira—it was a shot in the dark, and thank God it worked. I do break out every so often, but I have topical stuff that I put on for that.

The bikini liberation: “When I was younger, I always wanted to hide it and never wanted to talk about it. My doctors told me I’d be surprised at how many celebrities have it and don’t want to talk about it. When they say beauty is way more than skin deep, it’s hard for people who have psoriasis to wrap their minds around that. Some people even think it’s contagious and want to stay away. I’ve had it under control for about 10 years, so it’s been this liberating thing for me to be able to wear shorts and a bikini. People make so much fun of me and my bikinis, but I would walk around naked if I could because I was one big scab at one point!

She spray tans: “I’m a white girl—seriously, so white—so I spray tan. James Read has this Tan Accelerator that smells like cinnamon. It’s so good. My assistant, Kiki, and I love to spray tan so much, so we finally bought a machine and started to spray each other. The machine is like $500, so we save so much money. We do it once or twice a week. It’s like a car wash.

She has extensions: “My hair usually gets washed every three or four days because I have extensions, which I love. The great thing about extensions is that I don’t have to think about doing too much to it. After I wash it, I braid it and let it air dry. I love dry shampoo—the Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo is my favorite thing ever. I actually set off an airplane fire alarm once because of it. It was pretty funny.”

Pills: “I’m a big vitamin person. I take like 20 pills in the morning and 20 at night—fish oil, prenatal vitamins, probiotics, biotin…I have an herbalist I work with who has put me on a bunch of different things. I’m very strict about making sure I take them.

I honestly think she sounded fine or fine-ish here. Not crazy or anything, although there were a few product name-drops where I was thinking, “Huh, I wonder if Brandi Glanville used those products first?” If LeAnn wants to spray tan at home, God bless. If she wants to take Humira or whatever, fine. The only thing I side-eye a little is the “40 pills” thing. There are a lot of concerns out there that taking an excess amount of vitamins is, at best, doing nothing and at worst, possibly damaging your health. I also wonder if some of those pills are laxatives in LeAnn’s case.
