Mindy McCready Attempts Suicide

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

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.
