McCready Talks "Celebrity Rehab"

Mindy McCready's name made a splash a couple months ago when she was dragged into the drama regarding the release of Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayhearts boring sex tape, but now she's dishing on the latest season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky, which debuts on VH1 in January.

McCready, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, admitted that she joined the show for the sake of “a big fat check,” but says the show saved her life.

“I have put myself in harm’s way in almost every relationship I’m in. I know now. I am a beacon for anybody that wants to take advantage of me.”

She also says that after seeing some of this season's participants, she realized her problems weren't that bad.

“I thought I was the most messed-up person on the planet. I’m not even close.”
Long time fans of the troubled country singer will see Mindy's still present talent, as she sang her song, “I’m Still Here," for the cast. Her performance was so powerful that many were moved to tears.

On a side note, doesn't she look amazing? It's a far cry from the disheveled, sloppy appearance she was sporting during her troubles last year. Good for her.
