Ever since announcing her engagement to Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes has been losing weight at an accelerated pace, and there’s plenty of paparazzi shots to prove it. A new report suggests she may be taking things too far since she’s now literally “skin and bones.”

Rimes is now in LA with her fiancé and, when he’s not working, they’re enjoying spending time together, shopping and going out.

On one of these outings, they were also accompanied by the paparazzi, who snapped away at the couple – and the very thin LeAnn.

The British tab the Daily Mail, for instance, believes the singer is taking her pre-wedding diet one step too far, since she’s literally a shadow of her former, healthier self.

“She has always had a slim and toned figure but it looks as though LeAnn Rimes might have taken the pre-wedding diet to the extreme,” the Mail writes.

“The 28-year-old actress and singer was spotted out and about in Calabasas, California this weekend looking frighteningly thin as she shopped and had lunch with her fiancé, Eddie Cibrian,” the publication adds.

Wearing denim hotpants and platform shoes, Rimes certainly did appear slimmer than on previous times she’d been photographed out an about.

“Wearing cut off denim shorts with huge platform heels, the star showed off her pin thin legs as the couple headed back to their car. LeAnn’s chest and arms looked bony and her hands appeared thin and veiny,” says the Mail.

The tab even includes for reference a photo of LeAnn from September, when she seemed to have more “curves.”

“Since announcing her engagement to Eddie, 37, in December LeAnn appears to have dropped an unhealthy amount of weight,” says the tab, adding that she must be losing the weight to be the best (and slimmest) bride she can be, when the day comes.

As of now, LeAnn and Eddie have not announced a wedding date.
