Tell Us About Yourself(ie): LeAnn Rimes

    The singer, reality star, and actress takes our Q&A!

    What's your wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?

    A photo of Eddie, the boys, and me from our trip in Hawaii.

    When you walk into a bar, what do you typically order?

    Water and tequila, and not necessarily in that order. :)

    What's the one word you are guilty of using too often?

    More like a phrase: “Here’s the deal."

    What is the last thing you searched for on Google?

    Lyrics to “Someday at Christmas.” I’m refreshing my memory for a performance in a few days.

    Who is the last person that called or texted you?

    My BFF Lizzy.

    What was the last awkward situation you were in and how did you handle it?

    This sweet older lady said to me, “LeAnn, I just love your song “I Hope You Dance.” I just smiled and said, “I love that song too" and thanked her. I didn’t have the heart to tell her she had the wrong LeAnn.

    When is the last time you went to a theater?

    Two weeks ago to see The Equalizer.

    What TV show should everyone should be watching?

    I’m a huge Ray Donovan fan, but I don’t get to watch it every week. I’m going to have to binge-watch it eventually.

    And what is your TV guilty pleasure?

    I don’t really have one. I don’t watch much TV. I love Family Guy, though, and I’m always watching SportsCenter with Eddie before we go to bed.

    What's the first album you bought?

    Hmmm, that’s hard. Probably a Whitney Houston album. I do remember buying my first “explicit” album, Salt-N-Pepa['s]. I was 11 and had to beg my mom and dad to buy it. They caved in and let me. Later on I kind of felt embarrassed of the very suggestive lyrics I was belting out in the car in front of my parents. I had no idea what “Shoop” and “Push It” were about at that age. I got it now. :)

    What is the one food you cannot resist?

    Mac 'n' cheese.

    What music are you currently listening to?

    Hozier’s latest album is a favorite of mine at the moment, and the latest Black Keys record. I’m listening to them as I’m answering your questions.

    What movie makes you laugh the most?

    I love Best in Show and any Eddie Murphy stand-up — Delirious or Raw.

    What drives you absolutely crazy?

    Manipulation and hypocrisy.

    Pick one: kittens or puppies?

    Puppies.

    New York or Los Angeles?

    New York.

    Comedy or drama?

    Drama.

    Bacon or Nutella?

    Bacon.

    '80s or '90s?

    ’90s.

    Hannah Montana or Lizzie McGuire?

    Lizzie McGuire.

    And finally: Tell us a secret.

    It wouldn’t be a secret anymore if I told you.

    LeAnn’s new Christmas EP ONE Christmas: Chapter 1 is available on iTunes.
