LeAnn Rimes: 'I Feel Like People Are Pointing at Me'
Originally posted 06/20/2009 09:40AM
LeAnn Rimes has taken the "high road" when it comes to recent allegations of stalking by the wife of her Lifetime movie costar Eddie Cibrian. But that doesn't mean the accusations don't hurt.
"I've been in the public eye since I was 14, so I have a tough skin. It's fine dragging me through the mud, but don't drag my loved ones through it," the singer says in the July issue of Shape magazine. "They're my family, and it hurts them. All I'll say is, I know what's in my heart and what's true.
She adds: "I feel like people are looking and pointing at me like I'm in a fishbowl. I've learned to let it roll off my back, but it's super hard, and it really hurts."

Barack Obama to Honor His Musical Hero, Stevie Wonder
Originally posted 02/24/2009 10:15AM
During Barack Obama's presidential campaign, Stevie Wonder honored him in song at rallies and fundraisers. Now the President is returning the favor to the artist he's called his musical hero.
On Wednesday, Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will present Wonder, 58, with the Library of Congress's Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
The salute, to be held in the White House's East Room and broadcast Thursday night on PBS, will feature artists including Martina McBride (who will sing Wonder's hit "You and I"), Will.I.Am, Tony Bennett, Paul Simon and India.Arie.
Obama last year told Rolling Stone that he really got into music during Wonder's heyday in the early '70s, when Wonder released albums like Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life. "So that was a guy I loved," Obama said.

Martina McBride Launches Country Retirement Community

Martina McBride helped unveil plans for a $95 million senior living community south of Nashville, designed to provide a welcoming home for aging members of the music industry.
"Residents can still contribute music, make music, record music and perform music here and that's very unique," McBride told PEOPLE on Wednesday at the launch of The Crescendo, a community of 180 independent living condos and a nursing facility that will feature a recording studio and a performance hall.
"The music industry is such a special industry," she adds, "and I think it's really important for people who transition into assisted living or independent living to be able to have people around them that have a point of reference."
