Country sensation LeAnn Rimes has sent a New Year's message out to her fans on Twitter and told them "please stop discussing my ovaries". 

The 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' hitmaker has found herself the victim of several unpleasant and intrusive articles over the past 12 months, but has now taken to the social networking site to explain that she has never tried for a baby and would appreciate it if people stopped talking about her personal life so freely:

"I have never even tried (to get pregnant) so please stop discussing my ovaries LOL. Unfortunately it's beyond not true & not something I feel people should throw around cause it takes some couples a long time to conceive & some never can."

"You didn't offend me, I just think its crazy that people make articles out of nonsense, so when it comes to me and all the speculation I have to laugh :)"
