If Britney Spears is the trainwreck of the pop music world then Mindy McCready is her country music counterpart. Mindy has been in and out of jail/rehab for the past few years and Tuesday her mother says she tried to end it all.

According to the country singers mother, via RadaraOnline, Mindy took a near lethal dose of prescription pills in what was actually a failed suicide attempt.

A devastated Gayle McCready Inge even admitted covering up for her troubled 34-year-old daughter earlier on Tuesday, but spoke out to RadarOnline.com, to set the record straight. Inge said McCready, who remains in a Florida hospital, has admitted she attempted to take her own life with an amphetamine drug, used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder.

“I asked Mindy how many pills did you take. She said maybe 25. I said that’s it, and that’s when I called 911. Mindy told the 911 people that she absolutely didn’t care if she lost her life. My daughter is very, very sick.”

Mindy’s people on the other hand, say it was a bad reaction to a pain pill she received from a doctor for an injury. Isn’t it always?

Maybe Dr. Drew needs to being Mindy back to Celebrity Rehab for another season. She can room with Tila Tequila.
