Now that Mindy McCready is known more for her drug use and arrest record than her country music career, she's found a title that suits her more: Baseball Mistress.

That's the name of the sex tape [NSFW] that will be released on April 19, coinciding with McCready's first album in eight years. Her co-star in the vid is an ex-boyfriend identified merely as Peter, but the title and interview segments focus on McCready's more famous paramours, in particular hometown pitching ace Roger Clemens.

McCready confirms previous reports that she had an affair with the married baseball player for 10 years, beginning when he was a 28-year-old ace with the Boston Red Sox and father of two and she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer in Florida. According to Fox News, McCready says in the video that she and Clemens did not initiate the physical affair until after she was of legal age.

In interview segments, she describes "in graphic detail" her escapades with several stars, including former fiance Dean Cain (better known as TV's Superman), country singer Alan Jackson and John F. Kennedy Jr.

McCready says that Clemens was "good" in bed but that he had "a lot of problems" with erectile dysfunction, which probably isn't surprising considering both his penchant for Viagra and other performance-enhancing drugs. What's a common side effect of steroids, again? Clemens apparently got his Rocket nickname strictly for his on-mound prowess.

McCready mentions having sex with Clemens in a hot tub in Palm Springs and tells the camera that though she's never met his wife, "I wish she and I had spoken because I realize now that the stories I was being told from Roger weren’t exactly the truth."

Pop icon Beyoncé donates $100,000 to University of Houston Law School

Pop megastar Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has donated $100,000 to the University of Houston Law Center Criminal Justice Clinic through her BeyGOOD Foundation. The gift will allow the clinic to hire fill-time faculty to head it, benefiting the students who study there.

“I am delighted that the BeyGOOD Foundation has made this very generous gift to the UH Law Center,” said Leonard Baynes, dean of the UH Law Center. “Not only will this funding help establish a full-time criminal justice clinic that provides pro bono legal services in our community, but it will also supercharge our already excellent criminal law and justice programming.”

The clinic is one of nine at UHLC. It helps students learn to navigate the criminal justice system, especially on behalf of clients that are underserved by skilled attorneys. People of color are affected disproportionately by a lack of good, ethical representation.

Beyoncé, the most decorated artist in Grammy history and easily the biggest musical star native to Houston, has a long history of advocating for criminal justice reform. She was a staunch supporter of the police reform following the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, asking law enforcement to “stop killing us” in a web post. In 2020, she penned an open letter to the Kentucky attorney general asking for justice in the death of Breonna Taylor.

Through her BeyGOOD Foundation, established in 2013, Beyoncé has focused mostly on expanding the prospects of Black-owned business and offering education opportunities to students. Forwarding the cause of legal representation in Texas while also helping out marginalized communities compliments her other philanthropic work.

“At UH Law, we envision a legal profession where ‘everyone has the opportunity to prosper,’ as BeyGOOD envisions, and we will achieve this vision by providing access to strong and effective legal representation in criminal proceedings,” Baynes said. “And together, through this gift, the BeyGOOD Foundation and UHLC will shepherd the next generation of criminal justice attorneys in the city of Houston, the state of Texas and the nation.”
