LEANN RIMES - RIMES: 'FAMILY PRESSURED ME TO BE PERFECT'

LeANN RIMES was groomed to become the perfect child star, according to the country singer herself. The BLUE hitmaker reveals she was schooled at a young age to prepare for fame - and she admits it all became too much. She says," Dad managed me, Mom travelled everywhere with me and so much of what happened to me was great. But coming from the South, there was always this obsession with me being prim and proper and I was constantly schooled in what to say and how to behave. "So inevitably there came a point when I had to find out who LeAnn Rimes the person was, as opposed to LeAnn Rimes the celebrity." The 24-year-old filed a lawsuit against her father in 2000, claiming he stole $7 million (GBP3.5 million) of her earnings. The pair have since reconciled.
