English: LeAnn Rimes vogues for the cameras (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Its such a shock to lean that  LeAnn Rimes has checked herself in rehab on her birthday.

Shes apparently cheeked herself in for treatment for ”anxiety and stress,” as her rep explained:

 ”LeAnn has voluntarily entered a 30 day in-patient treatment facility to cope with anxiety and stress. 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.”

LeAnn talked about her decision for getting treatment by saying:

“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.”

LeAnn’s husband Eddie Cibrian has talked about her courage and how supportive he is:

“My wife is the most remarkable and courageous woman I know. I am so proud of her for having the strength to finally take some time for herself. I will be with her every step of the way.”

Shes done the right thing and it so good that she could admit that she needs help.
