LeAnn Rimes might be one of the most successful country singers of her times, but it looks like she had to make some huge compromises during the taping of her reality show, LeAnn & Eddie. Rumor has it that Rimes and her husband Eddie Cibrian were forced to film their show in a rented Malibu pad as producers didn't think their current home was luxurious enough for television.

Star Magazine recently reported in their print edition on Friday that the $5.25 million ultra-modern Malibu pad shown on their show really isn't their real home, despite what the couple claims.

A source tells the magazine, "That house ups the glamorous and makes LeAnn and Eddie look like they're living the high life. They want people to think they're rich, but the truth is, they live in a much older, rustic house and definitely aren't swimming in money."

Meanwhile, Rimes recently opened up about wanting to start her own bikini line. She also added that she wants her line to be "beautiful, feminine and classy" with very natural colors including nudes and golds.

"I mean, I've worn so many bikinis that I know what works and what doesn't," Rimes told Fox News in a new interview. "I know what I like and I know what's missing in the marketplace. We shall see! I hope that it comes to fruition."

The former chart topper also opened up about the media attention she's received for her figure and weight, calling it a double-edged sword. Rimes has been criticized for being "too skinny" after losing a dramatic amount of weight in the past.

Rimes said, "For women in an industry that picks you apart and a society now that has really turned to picking people apart to make themselves feel better - which is really sad - it seems to be less of building people up and more tearing people down."

She added, "Obviously, looking healthy is in my mind, always. Number one, I'm a woman, but obviously it's magnified for me, but I think the more I made it about my health and not how I look, it makes it more fun. It makes it easier to do. It makes you want to get up and take care of yourself."

LeAnn & Eddie airs every Thursday at 10 p.m. EST/PST on the VH1 network.
