It looks like the time has come for country singer Mindy McCready to face the music – pun intended. Tomorrow Mindy will turn herself in at a Tennessee jail and serve 60 days for a probation violation.

Riddled with troubles, it is time for the one time music sensation to get back to reality, clean living and criminal free existence. In a statement from Mindy that was released today she said:

“I am working very hard to put all of this behind me as quickly as possible so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain.”

She also went on to thank her fans for their unwavering support. In 2004 her downward spiral started and she has struggled to gain control of her issues with drug arrests, prescription fraud and domestic abuse charges.

McCready’s goal is to prove that she is healthy so that she can regain custody of her son Zander. We wish her all the best and hope that she can get her life and family back together.

Mindy McCready Suffers Miscarriage and Enters Rehab

Mindy McCready, struggling country music artist, was hospitalized last week for a reported miscarriage on July 17. On the heels of that event, her personal physician made arrangements to have her transferred to an undisclosed rehab facility for immediate treatment of emotional issues stemming from the loss of a baby as well as alcohol and substance abuse.

The unplanned pregnancy was reportedly with a partner that she had known for the past three months. The 32 year old has one son, Zander, who is two years old.

The singer flew on a commercial flight to a well known facility that is frequented by celebrities and was recommended to her by the staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she had been receiving treatment. The proposed treatment is a month long program.

Mindy shot to fame as a teen. It was revealed in April 2008 that when she was just 15 years old she began a 10 year affair with baseball star Roger Clemens, one of many for the ballplayer. Check out those details here.

McCready’s legal woes are numerous, including arrests for fake prescriptions, speeding and DUI, identity theft, numerous probation violations, battery and resisting arrest. An abusive relationship with a former boyfriend made headlines when he was arrested for attempted murder after he beat and chocked McCready. She also attempted suicide two years ago, shortly after her son was born.

McCready has been attempting a comeback, trying to relaunch her career with new music that she composed while incarcerated for months at a time in a Nashville jail in 2006 and 2007.

We wish the troubled singer well in her recovery. Check out more photos below.

Roger Clemens 10 Year Affair with Mindy McCready Revealed

Missy — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:34:52 +0000

Mindy McCready has spent the last several years in and out of jail but is now ready to revive her career and start singing again. As she embarks on a comeback, news has hit the media that she and baseball great Roger Clemens carried on a 10 year affair which started when she was just 15 years old and he was married with two children.

Clemens launched a defamation suit against his former personal trainer Brian McNamee in January 2008 after the trainer made allegations that he and his wife, Debbie Clemens used steriods. The former trainer and his legal team will undoubtedly use Clemens past history to prove that he is an untrustworthy character. McNamee’s lawyer said:

If it’s proved that he’s a philanderer, his reputation is already damaged. When you sue for defamation, you put your whole reputation in the community at issue. Anything is fair game, including his claim of sanctimonious purity. We would cross-examine him and other witnesses who might impact on his alleged behavior. We would probably subpoena her and witnesses who knew [of the relationship]. He’s a ‘family man’ – he implies that. It’s about what his damages are. All is fair game.”

Clemens lawyer, Rusty Hardin has confirmed that there was a relationship with McCready but that it was in no way a sexual relationship and that Roger considered her a good family friend. Clemens wife was apparently well aware that McCready traveled with the ballplayer while he played for the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees and Astros.

It should be interesting to see if Mindy McCready sticks with that story or comes up with her own version. She is working on several new projects, including a documentary that begins shooting today in Nashville. Whether these new revelations will harm or hurt her comeback efforts is anyone’s guess.
