The day after her 30th birthday, Leann Rimes has checked into a 30-day treatment center to "cope with anxiety and stress." Over the last year, Rimes has been the continued subject of intense body bullying and rumors of anorexia, and her representative confirms that she is not being treated for an eating disorder. "While there will be speculation regarding her treatment, she is simply there to learn and develop coping mechanisms. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."
Rimes told People:
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.
Weirdly, just yesterday, Rimes spoke to Celebuzz about her contentment with husband Eddie Cibrian, her age and her life in general. "I'm so ready for my 30s! This decade is going to be the best yet. I'm so content and not depressed at all about it... I feel healthier, more grounded and self-confident at 30 than I ever have." Ahhh. We wish her the best. :( [People, Celebuzz]

As they left the studio in which they spent the day recording, Cheryl Cole and will.i.am were in a car accident at 3 AM last night. After driver will.i.am smashed his Cadillac into a parked car, "the two singers were reportedly pictured clutching their faces with blood streaming from their noses as they sat dazed in the car."
