Roger Clemens
Gossip

Today's celebrity birthdays are no strangers to criticism.

One has been called a lying, cheating disgrace. The other a neophyte, liberal socialist. When you're on top, the haters will say anything to cut you down!

One is fired up and ready to go. The other juiced up and ready to go ... to the Hall of Shame. Yes, it's the current Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, Barack Obama (48), and disgraced MLB pitching legend Roger Clemens (47)!

In honor of this 4th day of August, here's a little photo tribute to the middle-aged birthday boys. Click to enlarge these images of the HGH-fueled Rocket ...

Mindy McCready admits that she has "lived life recklessly" and made a lot of mistakes, like having an affair with Roger Clemens while she was a teenager.

Back in New York after a trip to Southern California to talk about possible reality TV projects (yes, really), the troubled country singer spilled her side (sometimes multiple sides) of her Roger Clemens affair to various media sources.

McCready told Inside Edition that her alleged affair with the beleaguered baseball star ended because she wanted him to leave wife Debbie Clemens. But she also told the New York Daily News that she "never wanted to marry" the Rocket.

"[Roger Clemens] should have done right by his family - if a person is unhappy in their marriage and spending all their personal time with someone else, you need to do right by your marriage," McCready told the Daily News.

"He should have just told Debbie and been honest with her. If he didn't want to be with her and wanted to be with me, he should have told her."

Meanwhile, according to Inside Edition, McCready stated that "I wanted him to, after all that time, do the right thing by me. And, Roger is loyal and dedicated to his family... and so I ended it." Multiple personality disorder, anyone?

Roger Clemens denies that anything sexual happened with Mindy McCready at any time and, in responding to her various claims, only issued a statement acknowledging that he has "made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry."

McCready is consistent in her sorrow for the pain she caused Debbie Clemens.

"I have nothing but remorse and nothing but sympathy for what she's had to go through with this situation and she has my utmost apology," she told Inside Edition. "I would apologize to her and say I was young. I now know better."

One is fired up and ready to go. The other is juiced up and ready to go to prison for perjury. Ladies and gentlemen, today's celebrity birthdays, Barack Obama (47) and Roger Clemens (46)! Click to enlarge the pics below!

In his first comments since being linked to numerous extramarital affairs last week, Roger Clemens acknowledged making "mistakes" in his personal life, apologizing to his family and the public in a prepared statement.

But, in case you were wondering, the seven-time Cy Young winner remained steadfast in his lies denials that he has used steroids or HGH.

"I know that many people want to know what I have to say about the recent articles in the media," Roger Clemens, who has four children with wife Debbie Clemens in the Houston area, told the Houston Chronicle.

Roger Clemens is alleged to have had an affair with Mindy McCready.

"Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right," he said.

Clemens also addressed the notion that he may have started an improper relationship with country singer Mindy McCready when she was 15.

Paula Abdul. Rob Lowe. Roger Clemens. Miley Cyrus. Plenty of celebs had difficult weeks, and that's the subject of today's Face-Off. Your comments and opinions are encouraged as The Hollywood Gossip staff members debate ...

WHICH CELEBRITY HAD THE WORST WEEK?

ROB & SHERYL LOWE by mischalova

There's an old saying in the world of celebrity gossip: Pose naked, make a buck. Cheat on your wife, you're still in luck. But discuss your children's penises with your nanny, and you're f*%ked.

As Keeley Hazell and Bill Clinton prove, respectively, the first two parts of this adage ring true. Now, sadly, Sheryl Lowe will find out the veracity of the third sentence.

For while some may believe that Miley Cyrus had an awful week, since when does getting naked have negative repercussions on a beautiful girl?

And while others may think Roger Clemens should be the most ashamed celebrity this week, he's probably happy to be in the news for non steroids-related issues.

But Laura Boyce says Mrs. Rob Lowe spoke of her children's genitals, inquired about the size of Dale Davis' schlong and laughed about her husband's broken cock rings. You recover from one of those things, two at most.

We can't see Sheryl Lowe coming back from all three.

Former baseball star Roger Clemens is piling up humiliating extramarital affairs, as revealed in New York newspapers, like he used to with strikeouts!

Swinging, looking, the point remains the same: these women are going down (on Roger)! The only chick this guy strikes out with is wife Debbie!

Sorry about the bad baseball jokes. On to the story.

Having already been outed as having had long-term affairs with both Mindy McCready and Angela Moyer, Clemens had a relationship with Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of golfer John Daly, the Daily News says.

Clemens, a married father of four, arranged trips to Anaheim Stadium for Paulette Dean Daly to watch him pitch for the Yankees against the Angels.

Sources also said he spent time with her in Palm Springs, California.

Paulette Dean Daly (pictured, right, with ex-husband John Daly) met Roger Clemens at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, a Palm Springs golf tournament she's been involved with for years. Guess we know why he waits until May to un-retire each season.

"Yeah, I've known Roger quite a while and we are friends," Daly said.

She declined to elaborate on the specific nature of her relationship with the Cy Young winner, but did not deny the allegations from several sources that it was romantic and included financial support.

Asked if she was romantically involved with Roger Clemens, Daly said:

"You know what, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this. I'm just going to have to say, 'No comment.' I know Roger. I consider him a good friend."

"That's all I'm comfortable saying."

Moyer did not comment on her alleged affair with Clemens, while Mindy McCready said she "could not refute" a single detail of this week's reports.

The Hollywood Gossip likes to straddle a fine line between sports and entertainment, similar to how Angela Moyer apparently straddled Roger Clemens. Yes, like Rog, we are now ready to jump all over Moyer.

Her story, that is.

New York papers broke the story of Roger Clemens' relationship with Mindy McCready earlier this week. Now there is new information about another woman, Angela Moyer, whom Clemens allegedly had a long-term relationship with.

Angela Moyer, 30, works as a Realtor in Pennsylvania, was asked about her relationship with Clemens, and responded simply, "No comment."

Angela Moyer: Roger Clemens' mistress #2. Who's next? Wait and see!

Supposedly, Roger Clemens helped pay the rent on Moyer's Houston apartment and even after she had moved to New York and gotten a job as a bartender at Sutton Place from 2000-2004 (when Clemens played for the Yankees, oddly), the seven-time Cy Young hurler continued a relationship with her.

While this is still only celeb gossip, Mindy McCready said she could not refute a single detail from the New York Post story that exposed her affair.

We'll be curious to hear how the Angela Moyer story plays out - and when Debbie Clemens gets arrested for assaulting Roger with a baseball bat.

Following a shocking story that broke Monday, country singer Mindy McCready confirmed a long-term affair with embattled baseball star Roger Clemens.

"I cannot refute anything in the story," a tearful but resolute McCready told the New York Daily News, which reported that they met in a Florida karaoke bar when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer.

Roger Clemens was a 28-year-old ace for the Boston Red Sox and already married to Debbie Clemens, with whom he has four kids, at the time.

"Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," McCready said. "He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete. The central topic in the debate, however, regards his professional life, not his personal life.

"There are legal matters working their way through the system that have nothing to do with me. From my point of view, that is where the focus should remain."

After the teenage Mindy McCready met Roger Clemens at a Fort Myers, Fla., bar called The Hired Hand, she returned with the Rocket to his hotel room, but there was no sex that night, sources told The Daily News.

It wasn't until later, after Mindy McCready had moved to Nashville and become a country singing star, that the relationship turned intimate.

Sources say Mindy McCready also received hefty checks courtesy of Roger Clemens - some up to $25,000 - channeled to her through an intermediary.

Such an arrangement raises questions as to why Clemens would go through a third party to give McCready money if they were just friends.

McCready has suffered a long list of legal troubles, which included a 2004 arrest for fraud and jail time last year for violating probation.

Roger Clemens is under FBI investigation for perjury after denying, under oath, accusations by his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, that the seven-time Cy Young Award winner used performance-enhancing drugs.

Baseball star Roger Clemens carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, beginning when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was the 28-year-old Boston Red Sox ace and married father of two, according to a shocking report in the New York Daily News.

Vivid details of the affair could surface in several media projects that Mindy McCready is already involved with - including a documentary that begins filming today in Nashville, a new album and a reality show.

McCready, who lives on a quiet, tree-lined street in Nashville, Tenn., is attempting a comeback following a string of legal and personal woes.

Through his attorney Rusty Hardin on Sunday, Roger Clemens confirmed a long-term relationship but denied that it was of a sexual nature.

"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin told the Daily News. "He's considered her a close family friend... He has never had a sexual relationship with her."

The revelations could torpedo claims of an "unsullied character" that are central to the defamation suit Clemens filed January 6 against his former personal trainer Brian McNamee, who accuses him of steroid use.

Rusty Hardin said the Rocket's wife, Debbie Clemens (left), knew Mindy McCready (right) and that the singer had traveled on his plane.

From a PR standpoint, Clemens' decision to file the suit against McNamee the night the Rocket appeared with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes could end up being the biggest risk he has taken yet in a bid to clear his name.

Under investigation for perjury, Roger Clemens already endured the ignominy of publicly throwing his wife under the bus - saying she took human growth hormone (HGH) - as well as having photos of bloody gauze and needles linked to him and undergoing scrutiny of an alleged injection-site abscess on his buttocks.

The life of Roger Clemens isn't getting any easier.

The Cy Young-winning pitcher, who is under investigation for lying to Congress about steroid use, looks to also have been tapping the same ass as Paulie Bleaker.
