LeAnn Rimes is a busy girl this August! First, she is modeling swimwear by Mikoh. On the website, you can see all the sexy beachy pictures. Rimes also tells the website some of her favorite things:

WHAT IS THE MOST EXOTIC THING YOU HAVE EVER EATEN? WHERE?
"I'm southern, so alligator tail is pretty interesting and yummy."

TAN LINES OR NO TAN LINES?
"Tan Lines all the way."

WHAT IS IN YOUR BEACH BAG?
"In my beach bag is always Neutrogena sunscreen, burts bee's lip balm, an Olympus EPL2 camera, a fedora, iPhone and a bottle of Don Julio 1942 Tequila."

IF YOU WERE ON A STRANDED ISLAND WITH FIVE ITEMS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
"My husband, my 2 stepsons, Neutrogena Sunscreen and an endless supply of sushi."

If you're in the Chicagoland area, you can also catch LeAnn Rimes headlining the ACM Lifting Lives show at Joe's Bar Monday night (Aug. 15) alongside "American Idol" runner-up Crystal Bowersox. Each year, ACM Lifting Lives provides grants to music therapy and music education programs. Joe's Bar is underwriting all the cost of the event so that all ticket sales money can go towards the philanthropy.
