June 28, 2007 — LeAnn Rimes says she's proud to have survived life as a child star. The singer tells icebergradio.com that she has dealt with naysayers since she was a young teenager and to still have a thriving career now is almost sweet revenge.

"I had great parental guidance," LeAnn says. "I had a great base there with my family, and I just wanted to prove people wrong. I think people were always waiting for me to really make a mistake and really hurt myself in some way and not end up with a career as an adult. People were just waiting for me to fail, and I so wanted to just prove them wrong and I have, so that's a good thing!"

LeAnn's new single, "Nothing Better To Do," is the debut release from her upcoming album, Family. That project is due in stores on August 28.
