LeAnn Rimes seems determined to change her primary colour from Blue to ... red and green.

She embraced Christmas music in a big way with a couple of mid-decade holiday recordings, and will soon embark on her sixth annual Christmas tour. But Rimes is really bringing the connection home with It’s Christmas, Eve, an upcoming Hallmark Channel movie in which she has the title role (as Eve, that is, not Christmas), and for which she’s recorded a soundtrack that was released last week.
