Country star goes to rehab, VH1 to talk about adultery.
Troubled country singer Mindy McCready will tell the world about her sordid affair with former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens on a VH1 reality series set to premiere in January. The singer and Clemens met when she was a teenager and reportedly had a decade-long affair that ended when he refused to leave his wife.
Mindy, 33, who had a platinum and a gold album in the late '90s, will appear on VH1's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew next year. She is seeking treatment for her codependency issues, which she says stem from her relationship with the 47-year-old Cy … Read More
And he's getting better at bowling, he swears.
President Barack Obama celebrated his 48th birthday today by bringing cupcakes and singing to veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas in front of the assembled press corps. Helen, the first woman to be a member of the presidential press corps, turned 89. Press secretary Robert Gibbs reported that the president also marked his birthday a few days ago, celebrating with his family and friends from Chicago and Hawaii over the weekend at Camp David.
"He had a lot of fun over the weekend despite some people not believing he bowled a 144," Gibbs said. The president … Read More
Mindy McCready is ready for her second act, somehow The Rocket is involved.
You know who Mindy McCready is? Yeah, she was 1 of those youngster country singers (like LeeAnn Rimes) who bumped into substance abuse problems (like Johnny Cash) and then had serious legal problems (like Merle Haggard). Anywho, Mindy McCready's career is best known for the album Ten Thousand Angels and the jam "Guys Do It All The Time." And since this is American life, she is demanding a second act (which is likely a 5th or 6th act).
And that second act is coming via a new album, documentary and reality show. But the keystone of this revitalization … Read More
The erectile dysfunction medication is being used by athletes looking for an edge.
Fine, this is somewhat afield of what we typically cover but it appears that Vitamin V is being used by some sporting types to, ahem, boost their "game." Per a report that ran on Fox Sports, some athletes (and all-around good guy Roger Clemens was mentioned again) use Viagra for "off-label" needs, such as increasing endurance by maximizing blood flow and overcoming impotence onset by an abundance of artificial testosterone.
There have been studies in the past that suggest Viagra as a cure for jet lag, so the logic goes that it could help athletes … Read More
Major League Baseball availability and divorce have an inverse correlation.
We were perusing the old iVillage yesterday and bumped into an article siting a correlation between divorce and Major League Baseball (MLB). It turns out that the cities with Major League Baseball clubs (baseball talk for teams) have lower divorce levels than those without them. The article they clipped from explains the trend thusly: baseball is a fun, family-friendly game that promotes good family interaction and saves marriages. So, if you're scoring at home, MLB has gotten to the people in the divorce theory business. It was only matter of time after getting to The Congress. They're doing … Read More
Did the Rocket have an improper, extramarital relationship?
Whoa. We're not willing to say one way or the other but the NY Daily News is reporting that Roger Clemens (pitcher formerly of the Yankees, Red Sox, Astros, and Blue Jays) had a 'relationship' with country singer Mindy McCready. This relationship began when The Rocket (as the kids call him) was a 28-year old pitcher for the then-cursed Boston Red Sox. At that point, McCready was 15. Clemens denies that anything untoward happened between them and says that McCready is just a good family friend. Evidently, he met her when she was singing karaoke in … Read More
