Mindy McCready Headed to Rehab … With Cameras

Embattled singer Mindy McCready has been cast in the VH-1 reality show, 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.' The show will follow eight celebrities as they go through an intense detoxification program. McCready's known vices are alcohol and prescription drugs.

Other troubled stars set to appear this season are basketball great Dennis Rodman, actress MacKenzie Phillips ('One Day at a Time'), former Hollywood Madame Heidi Fleiss, former 'America's Next Top Model' contestant Lisa D'Amato, former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, former Miss United States Teen Kari Ann Peniche and former 'Real World Hollywood' star Joey Kovar.

McCready, whose best-known hits include 'Ten Thousand Angels' and 'Guys Do it All the Time,' has had a laundry list of troubles with drugs, alcohol and the law. She was arrested in 2004 for fraudulently obtaining prescription pills. In 2005, she was arrested for DUI and was arrested again just two months later on a string of charges, including identity theft and unlawful imprisonment. A subsequent arrest came in July 2007, when McCready allegedly assaulted her own mother and then resisted arrest. That incident resulted in her spending four months in a Tennessee jail. Another jail stint came last year after the singer violated her probation. Also in 2008, she entered rehab twice -- the second time after a failed suicide attempt.

McCready also made headlines last year after admitting to an affair with married baseball star Roger Clemens. The two met when the aspiring singer was just 15 years old, singing in a Florida karaoke bar. Clemens was already married with children at the time. Their alleged relationship lasted on and off through 2006.

The new season of 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew' will premiere in early 2010. Its host, Dr. Drew Pinsky, has helped celebrities ranging from Oscar-nominated actor Gary Busey to pro-wrestler Chyna defeat their addictions.
