"LeAnn Rimes has jokingly thanked the tabloids for partially inspiring her new album Spitfire. The country music star has been a constant fixture of the tabloids recently, due to her time in rehab and her feud with husband Eddie Cibrian&amp;#039;s ex-wife Brandi Glanville.   Speaking to Parade, Rimes quipped that she felt a responsibility to address her controversial personal life on the record. &amp;quot;I used to get mad at the tabloids, but I should be thanking them because they helped me write this whole record,&amp;quot; she teased.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m also a horrible friend because I use my pals&amp;#039; experiences for songs. They&amp;#039;ll call me for advice, and I&amp;#039;ll be like, &amp;#039;Hold on, I need to grab a pen!&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  Rimes also addressed the songwriting process for &amp;#039;Borrowed&amp;#039;, which was written about having an affair with Cibrian while still married to Dean Sheremet. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Borrowed&amp;quot; was one of the first songs I wrote on this album. I was terrified writing it,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I was bawling and thinking, &amp;#039;I can&amp;#039;t say this&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;My writing partners encouraged me to be honest, and once I wrote it, nothing was off-limits.&amp;quot; Spitfire is Rimes&amp;#039;s 11th studio album.
