Miley Cyrus, Mindy McCready and Roger Clemens take center stage

Jump to Comments

What’s the big deal about the Vanity Fair photo’s of Miley Cyrus?

Is it because the talented, yet provocative Annie Leibowitz took the shots?

Or are the photo’s just marketing on the part of the Cyrus family?

Not two weeks ago, I commented on the racey photo’s of Miley Cyrus that were circulating on the Internet.  Photo’s of her in her undies, photo’s of her spread across a male friend, photo’s of her pulling down her shirt to teasingly reveal her green lace bra.  Some taken when she was 14 (perhaps younger) and some taken more recently.

Miley Cyrus is 15.  Did her parents really expect that having Annie Leibowitz do a spread would result in age-appropriate photo’s?  I mean, really.  What the hell are they thinking?  She can apologize all she wants but, frankly, I do not believe her.  She and her parents have seen the attention paid to Lohan and Spears and Hilton.  She’s just being set up for when people decide those skanks are too old to still be salaciously sexy.  She’s not.  She’s only 15.

Speaking of 15 year olds…  the New York Daily was reporting on Sunday night that former baseball star and accused steroid taker Roger Clemens had an alleged secret affair with country music star Mindy McCready beginning in 1991 or so.  The alleged affair began when the arrogant jackass, who was a baseball star with the Boston Red Sox at the time, was a married 28-y.o. father of two young boys.

The big problem with his affair - unlike that of his former teammate Wade Boggs at about the same time - is that Mindy McCready was only 15.

That’s right.  Roger Clemens was allegedly boffing a 15-y.o.

News reports out this noon suggest that McCready is either not denying the affair or has confirmed it.

I wonder what his wife, Debbie, is thinking right about now?

I wonder if Clemens ever brought the 15-y.o. across state line for the purpose of having sex?  Remember Eliot Spitzer?  Oh boy…

One thing is for certain:  Roger Clemens’ claims of innocence in the steroid scandal are about to take a huge, huge hit.  Funny thing about Roger Clemens…  he always has a knack for making his accusers look like they - not he - are telling the truth.

NEW YORK (April 29) - Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported. Now the singer confirms it.

Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual.

“He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. … He has never had a sexual relationship with her.”

The News’ original story, which appeared on the newspaper’s Web site Sunday night and in editions Monday, quoted several people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.

In its story Monday night, sources told the News that McCready went with Clemens to his hotel room in Fort Myers, Fla., after their first meeting but that they did not have sex. The relationship turned intimate after she later moved to Nashville and became a country star, the paper said.

The story could undermine Clemens’ reputation, which is central to the defamation suit the former pitcher has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major league career.

“If true, it’s just another example of Roger’s pervasive prevarications which will be at the core of any defamation case,” said McNamee’s attorney, Richard Emery, in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

“If the case heads to trial and is not dismissed, as we feel it should be, we will be calling (McCready) as a witness,” Emery told the News.

The newspaper said Clemens sent cash to McCready to help her with legal issues and reached out to her when she was in jail last year in Tennessee. Clemens sometimes sent her amounts of $25,000, the paper said.

The 32-year-old McCready was sentenced last September for violating probation from a 2004 drug arrest and was released from jail last Dec. 30. The violation occurred in July when McCready was accused of scuffling with her mother and resisting arrest at her mother’s home in Fort Myers, Fla. She still must serve two years’ probation.

McCready had a No. 1 single in 1996 with ‘Guys Do It All the Time.’”
