Remember Mindy McCready?  All the media outlets are calling her a “troubled country singer”.  At what point do you lose the title of “singer”?  Like, is there a time frame, or is it one of those things where if you ever sang you get to be called a singer?  Because, if that’s the case, I am a singer.  

Anyway, she’s kinda, sorta involved in that whole mess with the Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart non-sex tape.  Mindy is on the upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab along with the third participant in the video, Kari Ann Peniche.  Peniche is accusing Mindy of stealing the video whilst they were roomies at rehab and leaking it onto the Internet — a theory which makes no sense considering those rehab people check everything including body cavities when you are admitted.  You aren’t allowed to bring porn or computers and cell phone access is limited, so how did Peniche bring her boring porn to rehab?

McCready has fired back at the accusations through an Access Hollywood interview saying,”I did not want to be dragged into all this. I did not want to be a part of this.  She is evil personified, she is evil in human form. She will hurt anyone she can to make money.”

Is there any chance that the producers at VH1 got a hold of this tape and leaked it?  Because right now, this Battle of the Irrelevants is the only motivating force behind me watching this upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab.

Mindy’s like the Britney Spears of the country world right now. Well, last year’s Britney Spears of the country world. The troubled singer was hospitalized early this morning for a suicide attempt.

Mindy spent time in a Texas rehab in July of this year after a previous suicide attempt.

Get thee back to treatment, lady!

Troubled country singer Mindy McCready made a little trip to an ER in Tennessee for a drug overdose, and then decided now was probably a good time to check into rehab.

“To her credit, she has entered into an extended-care facility where she will receive the care needed,” says her rep. “And for the moment we ask that everyone respect her privacy.”

Well, Heather Locklear got out, so it was about time for another celeb to enter rehab. What will we do on the day that there are absolutely no celebrities in rehab??? Why, we’ll have a drink to celebrate, of course.
