LeAnn Rimes’ Trainer Defends Her Physique

It’s no secret that LeAnn Rimes has been the target of eating disorder rumors, but the “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” songstress’ trainer Michael Jackson has come to her defense.

Rimes lamented, “People are calling me bulimic or anorexic. These are real issues and diseases- that I don’t have.”

Jackson explained to FOX 411, “I know it really bothers her. A lot of people see pictures of LeAnn and assume certain things. But we’re in the process of putting a video together that she’ll post to her blog so that people will see what it is that we’re doing to get her in shape.”

He continued, “It’ll probably go live sometime next month—we haven’t set an exact date. I know she’s really anxious to show people—excuse my French—that she takes her s**t seriously.”

“With LeAnn, the one thing I do is boxing—it’s all about boxing. We use hand mitts and boxing gloves. For a typical workout, we warm up with about five to 10 minutes of jump rope. Then, we’ll get going with some light, dynamic stretching. But LeAnn usually likes to start boxing first. When she comes into the gym, she’s usually just gotten off a plane and she needs to work some stuff out, so we’ll do some boxing, using traditional boxing techniques. We’ll also work on the core, legs and hips. We do arms more than anything. I know a lot of people think boxing is just punching, but proper technique involves working out the quads, butt, back and core—things a lot of women like to work on.”

“After boxing, we’ll do some strength training, which consists of a core workout. We’ll have our days where we’ll do core, we’ll have our days where we’ll do legs and upper body. That’ll consist of lunges, lunges with weights and squats. For core work, we’ll use a cable machine. Then, we’ll end with some stretches. It’s not anything light.”

As for LeAnn’s diet, Michael shared, “Every week, I give her a meal plan. We’re always back and forth on Twitter—if she can’t get to her computer, she’ll email or text message me—I make it as convenient as possible.”

“She eats a lot of lean meats—fish, chicken—maybe on occasion, lean turkey. A lot of vegetables—broccoli, carrots and asparagus. And I try to have LeAnn eat some fruit like oranges or apples before 3 o’clock. The reason for that is because fruits contain a lot of sugar, and sugar metabolizes into carbs, so I try to have her eat that before she really gets active. Fruits are a good source energy—much better than energy drinks.”

Eyewitness: Dr. Conrad Murray Hid the Propofol

TMZ has learned the man who called 911 at Michael Jackson’s house the day he died told police Dr. Conrad Murray hid bottles of Propofol from family members and authorities.

The witness — bodyguard Alberto Alvarez — told cops he saw Dr. Murray running around the room hiding Propofol bottles in a closet near the room where the doctor administered the drug to Jackson.

Authorities found bottles of the anesthetic in what looks like a secret compartment area of the closet.

A source close to Dr. Murray told TMZ Alvarez made the statement two months after Jackson’s death … in the office of his lawyer, Carl Douglas … when Alvarez was questioned again by cops. Douglas, by the way, is also a lawyer for the Jackson family.

The source says Alvarez’ statement contradicts what he told cops the day of Jackson’s death. The source says Alvarez never told cops at the scene about hiding Propofol.

TMZ.Com tells us that the source notes … and we have confirmed … Dr. Murray told cops two days after Jackson’s death where the Propofol bottles could be found.

As we first reported, one of the bottles of Propofol in the closet was empty with a large tear in the rubber stopper. Law enforcement sources believe Dr. Murray may have connected the large bottle of Propofol directly into the IV and a massive amount of the drug, they believe entered Jackson’s system and killed him.

UPDATE: We’re also told Alvarez told cops during the interview in Douglas’ office that he saw a milky white substance in an IV bag. As we first reported the IV bag in the room contained no traces of Propofol.

Tito Jackson Accused of Ruining MJ Tribute

TMZ.Com tells us that Tito Jackson is accused of single handedly torpedoing a Michael Jackson tribute concert last year — and now the guy behind the show is looking to settle the score. A concert promoter named Roy Isaac has fired off a letter to Tito — demanding he return a $7,500 deposit Tito was allegedly paid for a concert in Michigan — a concert that never happened.

Isaac tells TMZ the whole thing fell apart, in part, because Tito refused to do any press for the show. Now, Isaac has told Tito that he wants his money back — in 30 days — or else he’ll sue. Tito’s rep tells TMZ that Tito never got the money and Isaac’s beef should be with Jackson’s former booking agent.

Fan Buys Michael Jackson’s Vegas Home

TMZ.Com tells us that Michael Jackson’s Las Vegas home is now in good hands — a fan of MJ’s just plunked down $3.1 million to be the new king of the singer’s old castle.

Problem is … selling the house wasn’t as easy as you think. One of the real estate agents tells us after Michael’s death, tons of fans flooded the mansion pretending to be potential buyers … but were lying just to get a peek at the King of Pop’s old digs.

One deep-pocketed fan ended up being the real deal — and ended up buying the nearly 16,000 sq ft. palace.
