LeAnn Rimes is opening up to ABC's Katie Couric regarding her recent treatment for stress and anxiety.

The country songstress, who turned 30 in August, told Couric:

"I feel like I am starting over even though I've had all these years behind me. How many people get to [start] over again in this day and age? People look at you and go, 'Why are you struggling?' No one can quite understand why you hurt so badly."

Rimes, who admits to seeking "therapy my whole life," adds:

"I like going. I like being able to have that third-party input and someone to listen that has nothing to do with your life. Everyone has an opinion of how I am and how I should be, and now I'm focusing on how I want to be."

LeAnn and hubby Eddie Cibrian celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary this past April. The full interview with Leann and Katie Couric will air October 26 on ABC's special edition of 20/20, All Access Nashville.

Someone's looking good without makeup!

On Saturday, LeAnn Rimes was radiant in her red-striped scarf and skinny jeans as she headed into the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel for a photo shoot.

The 30-year-old singer recently wrapped up a brief stint at a treatment center where she worked on issues related to anxiety and stress. Glad to see her fashion sense did take any time off!

Country star LeAnn Rimes had to cancel a performance this weekend after a bit of a medical scare.

“I feel like I got hit in my right side of my face with a baseball bat :( NOT a good feeling when I am getting on a plane. For all my fans at Wendover last night, the show will be rescheduled, not a canceled show. WORST way ever to kick off a tour…..under anesthesia and a massive infection. Well, onward and upward. It can only get better from here!!! On another note, Happy Saturday.” she tweeted.

LeAnn was set to perform in Nevada on Friday night, and on Sunday she took to her blog to give fans an update. LeAnn wrote, "I'm finally in great hands and being well taken care of … needless to say, I'm resting today. Thank you all for your support and understanding. The last 10 months of pain are hard for me to wrap my head around. I'm sure it's difficult for you all to understand too. Let's just pray I'm on the mend. I'll see you all on the road very soon."

Here's to a speedy recovery!

LeAnn Rimes is opening up about the benefits of treatment.

The 30-year-old country songstress told the Boston Herald:

"It's hard to take it day after day of reading and seeing things that someone you don't even know says about you. As much as you said you don't want it to penetrate, it does, because you're human."

As for her recent treatment:

"I've been in therapy my whole life. I like going. I like being able to have that third-party input and someone to listen that has nothing to do with your life. Everyone has an opinion of how I am and how I should be, and now I'm focusing on how I want to be."

Rimes' upcoming album Spitfire hits stores next Spring.

LeAnn Rimes is showing her Twitter followers that she is 100% behind the anti-bullying campaign, The Butterfly Project.

The 30-year-old "Give" singer posted the above photo of a butterfly on her wrist and the following, "I've been reading about so many bully inflicted deaths. I wanted to show my support."

The blonde beauty's new single "What Have I Done" hits the radio in December. Click thru to hear LeAnn singing an accoustic version of the song. Incredible!

LeAnn Rimes is back to doing what she knows best.

The 30-year-old country singer performed for fans Friday night at the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, just days after she entered treatment for emotional issues.

"I'm totally cool and so happy. I think I'm about to cry," the singer said to the crowd. "Thanks for being awesome fans…patient and understanding."

Rimes performed a 14-song, 70-minute set that gave fans an intimate look at the turmoil surrounding her life and even affirmed it with a quick disclaimer while on stage. "I'm pissed off at a lot of things, and I just can't say it," Rimes said. "So, it comes out in the music." Her husband Eddie Cibrian was back in Los Angeles during Rimes' Midwest stint.

The blonde beauty is scheduled to perform a series of concerts later this month and her new album is scheduled to be released next year. She even took time to tweet her appreciation after the show, saying, "Thanks to all my wonderful fans in Wisconsin. You showed me an amazing amount of love and respect tonight. Love you always."

She's back! Sort of...

Leann Rimes entered treatment for emotional issues earlier this month, but the Grammy winning singer is not letting her recovery get in the way of her career! The country cutie is headed to the Midwest for a series of concerts, and she couldn't be happier about reuniting with her loyal fans.

"I'm on a plane headed to see all my fans in Wisconsin tonight. I can't wait to play, I'm so ready. I've got a zillion fashion mags, my journal, iPod, water and a butterfinger. I'm all set," she wrote in a blog post titled "Back At It."

Wait... this slender stunner eats candy? According to the 30-year-old, with age comes an increased love of sweets!

"Seems I've developed a sweet tooth after turning 30. If that's all that comes with 30, I think I'm settling in pretty well. So far, the new decade is treating me great! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I look forward to seeing all of my fans and friends over the next 3 days," she added.

Scheduled to perform in Iowa and Indiana this weekend, followed by concerts in Maine, Colorado, and California later this month, the blonde beauty seems happier and healthier than ever after coping with reported overwhelming anxiety and stress.

"I have the best fans ever! Thank you for all your prayers, patience and unwavering love xoxo," she tweeted.

We couldn't be happier for Mrs. Cibrian that she's sorted out her issues and is back to doing what she loves - putting on an amazing show!

LeAnn Rimes has filed a lawsuit at the L.A. County Superior Court claiming two women, Kimberly Smiley and Lexi Smiley, secretly recorded a private conversation, and as a result, spread excerpts of that phone conversation across the internet.

In the lawsuit, claiming invasion of privacy, it states the following:

"With neither Ms. Rimes's knowledge nor consent, defendants secretly made a recording of a private telephone conversation with Ms. Rimes. They then conspired to spitefully ensure that out-of-context excerpts of that recording would be disseminated to the public on various websites and referenced in several online articles in an effort to portray Ms. Rimes in an egregriously false and negative light and cause her emotional distress."

According to court papers, the phone call took place this past Spring. During the conversation, Rimes was attempting to stop the ladies from continuing with negative activity by telling them she wanted peace.

However, the suit adds that by releasing excerpts from the conversation, the women were painting the country singer in a "false and negative light" ... calling her "crazy and delusional."
