Mindy McCready Attempts Suicide

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:35:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is said to be in stable condition after police report that she cut her wrists and took several pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Nashville police said McCready’s brother, Timothy McCready, discovered the singer in her bloody bed on Wednesday, several hours after she returned from a night out. He told police his sister had been “very intoxicated”.

McCready, 33, has been struggling for the past few years with legal and personal problems that have included drug charges, probation violations and previous suicide attempts.

According to the Nashville police report, the singer called her mother and told her “she had seen her angel baby.” This prompted the mother to call Timothy McCready to check on her.

He told police he found her stumbling in the kitchen but she seemed fine and she returned to her room. He went to check on her again after he woke up later that morning and discovered she had cut her wrists and ingested several pills.

This latest incident is a sad chapter in McCready's obviously turbulent life, and no doubt traumatic for her all her family and friends. But I'm curious to know why none of the stories I've read mention where McCready's 2-year-old son Zander Ryan McCready has been through all of this. In 2005 the boy's father, McCready's ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after beating and choking McCready. Let's hope little Zander is somewhere far away from all this chaos.

Mindy McCready Going Back to the Big House

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is no stranger to trouble. She's been arrested for a variety of reasons in the past: prescription medicine abuse, DUI, identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, violation of probation, battery, resisting arrest...hell, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. She is, in essence, the perfect country song. She's even attempted suicide.

Now she's going back to jail for another probation violation. The 32-year-old singer and mother of 2-year-old Zander Ryan McCready will voluntarily surrender to Tennessee authorities and sit in a cell for 60 days.

"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me," Mindy said, "so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Oh, hon, you're entertaining all right. Just not in a good way. But I'm sure of this...you're PERFECT for the country music industry.

Mindy McCready: Miscarriage?

HerBadMother — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:38:00 GMT

Ugh. This story is so just so many kinds of terrible.

According to Access Hollywood, the troubled country music star was hospitalised in Nashville last week after (reportedly) suffering a miscarriage. Some reports also suggested that she had swallowed a lethal combination of vodka and Ambien. Access Hollywood is reporting that she has entered rehab and will be treated for emotional distress after losing a baby.

A source tells the website she will stay at the clinic to undergo therapy for "alcohol, substance abuse and emotional issues with the emotional issues being at the top of the list".

Like I said, ugh. Heartbreaking. Awful.

Daddy’s a Hot Stud: Another Roger Clemens Affair

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:05:00 GMT

That shirt! Those pants! That tongue! Apparently the ladies can’t get enough of Roger Clemens. Do you blame them? That print velour shirt is totally making me want to leave my husband and round the bases with Roger, if you know what I mean. Either that or I will have enough fabric to redo my couch and my loveseat.

Roger’s affair with a 15-year-old Mindy McCready recently came to light, and now the New York Daily News is reporting that he also had an affair with Paulette Dean Daly, former wife of PGA golfer John Daly. Clemens, a married father of four, reportedly arranged trips to Anaheim Stadium for Daly to watch him pitch for the Yankees against the Angels. He also apparently bought her some nachos and one of those big foam fingers. I just made that last part up.

Who’s next? Dear God, please don’t let it be Cher.

It's True: Mindy McCready Admits to Underage Affair with Roger Clemens

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:23:00 GMT

The Rocket is having a tough time. What do you suppose is worse, being accused of steroid use during a legendary baseball career or being caught lying about having an affair with a minor?

That's a tough call. Both involve moral and legal issues. Granted, the steroid issue is being contested and the case against him does look overly staged, but to have Mindy McCready, the country singer identified as Clemen's mistress for over 10 years, admit that she "cannot refute anything in the story," well, you can't come back from that.

We've explained previously how Clemens, father of four boys, and McCready, mother of a two-year-old son, met when she was 15. This doesn't hold well for Clemens.

Is that an understatement?

Roger Clemens Affair With a 15-Year-Old Mindy McCready

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:20:00 GMT

Former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens reportedly had a decade-long affair with troubled country music star Mindy McCready, beginning when the singer was just 15. The affair began when McCready was a teenager working in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old married father of two. The baseball star admits to having a long-term relationship with McCready, but through his lawyer says the relationship was "not sexual." Okay.

The Daily News, which broke the story, claimed McCready frequently accompanied Clemens to his games and partied with him with the likes of Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jordan. The tabloid claims the singer even hid declarations of love to Clemens in the liner notes of her albums.

McCready has had a string of legal problems in the past few years including arrests for drug possession, identity theft and battery. Clemens is having his own problems; he's currently under investigation for perjury for his testimony to Congress regarding his alleged steroid use.

Clemens has four sons and McCready has a two-year old son - looks like they'll have plenty of stories to tell their kids, beyond the Grand Ole Opry and grand slams...
