McCready was taken to a Nashville-area hospital for treatment of wounds to her wrists, according to the spokeswoman and two people close to the troubled singer. Police and paramedics were called to a Nashville home where McCready was staying and immediately transported her to a hospital.

“We responded to a '10-63,' that's a suicidal person call. Mindy McCready was at the house,” said Kris Mumford, a Nashville Police Department spokeswoman. “Apparently she called the mother of her roommate and said some things that caused the mother concern. She called authorities. We responded with paramedics, who took her to a local hospital.”

The troubles just never seem to end in recent times for the country singer, who reportedly met Clemens when she was 16, the two beginning an affair a couple of years later. She has been in and out of rehab several times in recent years, and just finished serving a 30-day jail sentence for a probation violation stemming from an assault conviction in 2007. This wouldn't be the first time she's attempted suicide, sadly.

McCready says that the two met when she was 16, and that a sexual relationship did not develop until "years later."

"Carrying on a relationship with him is not something I'm proud of," she said, according to a partial transcript released by the show. "Roger Clemens is one of the most wonderful men I've ever known. ... He treated me like a princess."

"We never had a meeting in secret. We went on vacations together. We went to Palm Springs. We went to Las Vegas, New York City," McCready told Inside Edition. "I wanted him to do right by me ... and when he wouldn't, I broke it off."

McCready also apologizes to Clemens' wife, Debbie, and says that at one point she wanted to end it all. "I have nothing but remorse and nothing but sympathy for what [Debbie] had to go through with this situation, and she has my utmost apology," she told Inside Edition.

McCready, 32, got a suspended three-year sentence in 2004 for fraudulently obtaining prescription painkillers.

"There aren't words to describe how painful it's been," she told Inside Edition. "So painful, I haven't wanted to live. ... I've lived recklessly. I've made a lot of mistakes."

Expect these types of interviews to pop up continually until someone gives McCready a major recording contract, or a reality show, or Clemens is involved in a juicier scandal. Of the three, the latter is most likely, I'm guessing.

Anti-depressant poster girl and Roger Clemens Lolita Mindy McCready is showing she's still willing to steamroll ahead with her country singin' comeback regardless of the big white Rocket-shaped elephant that sits in her living room. McCready posted this YouTube message in an effort to let her remaining fans know that she's still the same ol' gal who's just a victim of circumstance.

This video, more than anything else, proves that this is a country in which anyone can still have the opportunity for success even if they're equipped with a startling lack of self-awareness.

Mindy McCready's Confessions Haven't Translated Into Album Sales Yet [Deadspin]

Today, an article by Sam Cook in the Fort Myers News-Press tracks down McCready's roommate, who says that, yes, she remembers the two meeting, flirting, and McCready going back to Roger's hotel room extremely late, but the two did not have sex. Oh, and McCready was apparently 17 at the time, which does punch holes in the DN's original story, but doesn't exactly make it that much less salacious.

It's yet to be seen what this type of coverage could do for McCready's attempts to kickstart her career again (it depends on how awful the reality show is, or if it gets picked up) but so far, the scandal hasn't done anything for her past albums. According to Soundscan, Mindy McCready hasn't tracked in the last few weeks. Anna Loynes, a rep for the music sales tracking service, says there has been no sales spike whatsoever. And how many albums does McCready need to sell to even register on Soundscan's tracking data?

"At least 100," she said.

Well, even 99 more sales of her entire back catalog is better than nothing. But maybe resurrecting an affair with Roger Clemens isn't the best marketing technique for her new album?

"I cannot refute anything in the story. Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time. He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete."

Since her life has been one big Burning Bed for the last few years, you hate to completely piss all over McCready's non-refute, but why are so many people taking this woman seriously? If this story came out four years ago she would have about as much credibility as a deranged homeless person who wears shoes made out of soda cans and has pockets full of dead pigeons. What's changed?

Oh yeah: Roger. The fact that Clemens has not admitted he took steroids, that means he HAS to also be a hilllbilly chlid molester too, right?

I have a feeling that if Brian McNamee's lawyer keeps pressing this issue — and actually does ">subpoena McCready for the upcoming defamation suit — it completely makes him look like even more of an opportunistic little shit bird. It appears Mindy McCready is just another old, bloody tissue that McNamee just so happened to stumble upon when it was convenient for him.

And, seriously, is Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, the worst attorney ever? This guy should've been fired 15 times since December.

UPDATE:Here's an email from a person claiming to be some sort of relative who disagrees with the whole "she's a lying crazy lady" portion of this post:

You seemed to imply in your post about Mindy McCready today that she was somehow making this up...

My mom is cousins with Mindy's stepmother. I've spent Christmases in Ft. Myers with Mindy. I've been out to dinner with Mindy's dad, Tim, many, many times. My cousin is employed by Mindy's dad.

It's all true.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mindy leaked the story to the press herself as she is probably the most cold-blooded, attention-seeking, self-promoting person I've ever met. She may be an emotionally-damaged person as you labeled her in your post but she's also manipulative and prettly much always looking out for number one.

Mindy's dad, Tim, is raising her son in FL. Mindy hasn't seen the kid in at least a year yet a couple months ago she was on "Extra" pimping herself out talking about how her son is the most important thing in her life.

The only thing Mindy cares about is self-promotion and if she's lucky, getting back on the County Fair concert circuit.
