  • Mindy McCready (Photo: Frederick Breedon IV)More news has emerged regarding troubled country star Mindy McCready’s latest saga, which as of Thursday had her committed to rehab and her children removed from her home. A petition filed by McCready’s father has revealed serious issues in the singer’s life, including alcohol and prescription drug abuse, as well as erratic behavior.

    According to a report from E!, who exclusively obtained the file, Tim McCready attested that his daughter had taken to her bed since the death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, last month. “Sleeps all day,” he reported. “Drinks all night and is taking Rx drugs.”

    Furthermore, McCready’s dad detailed that his daughter is refusing to bathe, was not taking care of her two young sons, and is acting violently. “Screams about everything,” he recorded. “Trying to hit father. Is not making any sense of any conversations with anyone.”

    The elder McCready also noted that Mindy is “very verbally abusive” to her older son, Zander, who is only 6 years old.

    The judge in the case responded to this by ordering admission to an inpatient facility for up to three weeks, stating: “There is cause to find there is clear and convincing evidence that Respondent is in imminent danger of harm to herself or others, suicidal or gravely disabled."

  • Country music fans who are also reality TV junkies will get a special treat Monday night when tuning in to the latest episode of The Bachelor. While star Sean Lowe takes his date out in the town of Whitefish, Montana, he'll be serenaded by rising country star Sarah Darling, who performs a rendition of her hit "Home To Me."

    Darling noted that the taping--her biggest national TV exposure to date--was thrilling for the obvious reasons, but also because she got some much appreciated time with fans. "It was really sweet because they opened [the taping] up to the public, and I got to meet everyone in this small quaint little town," she noted. "They all showed up and I got to play for them. It was amazing to be on the Bachelor, but it was amazing to meet all these new fans and get to spend some one-on-one."

  • Tim McGraw (Photo: Rick Diamond)Tim McGraw is 45 years old and looking better than ever these days. Part of it, no doubt, has to do with his hard-won fresh start on a new label—with a new album coming out on Tuesday. Aside from that, however, there’s a simple reason for his healthy good looks: The singer has been sober now for five years.

    McGraw tells People that he decided to quit alcohol once he realized he was uncomfortable with the amount he was drinking. “I drank a lot from my point of view and I needed to stop," he said, adding that his decision was ultimately for the sake of his family—wife Faith Hill and their three daughters.

    “I felt quitting was something I needed to do. I didn't feel I had any moral high ground with my kids in the long run.”

    The superstar took up exercise in place of boozing, noting that the adrenaline he gets from his workouts helps amp him up on stage while on tour.

  • Travis's mugshot in August. (Courtesy Grayson County police)Randy Travis is on the way to recovery--both personally and with the law. On Thursday, the country singer pleaded guilty to a driving while intoxicated charge stemming from a dramatic incident last August where he crashed his car and was found naked on a Texas highway.

    Travis's lawyer told the press near the end of 2012 that his client was focusing on sobriety; however, that doesn't let him off the hook legally. As a result of his guilty plea, he was sentenced to a 180-day jail sentence, which will be suspended if he stays out of trouble for a 2-year probation period.

    Additionally, he'll have to cough up a $2000 fine, spend a month in rehab, perform 100 hours of community service, and and have an ignition interlock device installed on his car for the duration of his probation. The device will prevent him from turning on the ignition if his blood alcohol level is too high.

  • Kenny Chesney (Photo: Ronald Martinez)Kenny Chesney’s upcoming album now officially has a name, and longtime fans of the singer will be able to guess exactly where he got the inspiration. It’ll be called Life On A Rock, and will hit streets April 30.

    The name, of course, alludes to Chesney’s fondness for the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he maintains a residence. "Just living here on this planet, we're all living life on a rock; but for me, and for this record, it's about the way life is when you live on an island,” the singer confirms. “Everywhere you go, there's everyone you know; you know everything about them, and they know everything about you...and well, that's just a whole other way to be.”

  • Emmylou Harris (Photo: Jonathan Leibson)Country icon Emmylou Harris is starting off 2013 on a rather bad note: The singer has been slapped with a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge stemming from an accident she had last year.

    Harris, 65, allegedly rammed into the back of another car on Los Angeles's 405 freeway in October 2012, and, according to the other driver's report, took off without exchanging information. TMZ reports that Harris's camp claims she didn't realize she'd hit the car, and that it was a "garden-variety" incident that happens frequently on L.A.'s busy roads.
