Singer/actress Leann Rimes has laughed off a new tabloid report suggesting she is expecting her first child with husband Eddie Cibrian, insisting she is "far from pregnant".

The Blue hitmaker is pictured in America's Star magazine sporting a seemingly fuller figure, prompting editors at the publication to claim she is set to become a mum after allegedly seeking advice and treatment from top gynaecologists.

A source told the magazine, "LeAnn is over the moon right now. She has wanted this baby for over a year."

However, Rimes has been quick to dismiss the rumours and has taken to her Twitter.com blog to assure fans there is no baby on the way.

She also insists her supposed weight gain is completely inaccurate because she's actually just lost a few pounds.

She writes, "Lmao (laughing my a** off) Star Magazine! I don't know if you dr (doctor) the pics or pic (sic) the worst one you can find, but I'm far from pregnant & just dropped a jean size".

Rimes, who is stepmother to Cibrian's two sons with his ex-wife Brandi Glanville, is no stranger to pregnancy rumours - her representative shut down similar claims in May (13), just weeks after the couple celebrated its second wedding anniversary.
