Country singer LeAnn Rimes' stick-thin figure caused a Twitter outrage over the weekend, which was made all the worse when she defended her bony bikini body.
As RadarOnline.com reported, in response to one follower’s horrified comments – she called Rimes “scary skinny,” the newlywed tweeted: "Those are called abs not bones, love...This is my body, and I can promise you I'm a healthy girl. I'm just lean."

We’ve now spoken to a health expert, who wholeheartedly disagrees with LeAnn’s assessment.
"She is very underweight, those are definitely hip bones and not abs," Dr. Majid Ali (who has not treated the star) told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. "She looks like she may weigh no more than 100 to 105 pounds literally - dripping wet.

Dr. Ali, editor of the Journal of Integrative medicine and a member of the American Board of Anatomic & Clinical Pathology, says "It is not a good look and in my opinion, it was not a healthy weight loss.”;
Photos of a curvier 5’5”; Rimes, 28, before she was in her relationship with new husband Eddie Cibrian, show a startling transition.
"Before the weight loss she looks to be about 135 pounds, which is a much healthier weight for her," said Dr Ali.
In a Twitter post in April, the controversial star claimed: "Dear lord! I do not work out too much nor do I starve myself. I'm so over this.”;

someone should point out to her that being so skinny makes her head look abnormally HUGE. Maybe that would snap her out of it. Eddie sure likes the 'little boy' look, doesn't he? hmmm.....

She isn't as thin as everybody is making it out to seem. Other recent pics show good arm muscles from boxing. As Cuz_I_Can2 points out u can see obliques, not bones. As for the pic ROL posted, it is 10+ yrs old & taken when L. still had baby fat.

He will be surrounded by half naked women all the time and she probably feels insecure.

She would look a lot better if she gained 15-20 lbs.
She probably feels she needs to do this so her new hubby will stay interested. He has a new show on NBC
about the Playboy Bunny clubs from the 1960's.

I am sure she is loving all the press she is getting even if it's negative. Her frame is too large for her current weight and she looks malnourished for sure.

Buying into the "never to thin or too rich" philosophy. This woman is not at a healthy place, but I'm sure Hollywood accepts her as normal.

when a person lays down then their hip bones stick out more than when they stand up so can you imagine what she looks like laying on her back and all those bones everywhere..
