Mindy McCready’s suicide shocked many, but as details spill out about those days before she took her life, her pain and suffering are becoming more and more obvious.

Mindy had been reaching out to her friend and private investigator Danno Hanks over those last few days, and it started to become clear that she was in a very dark place after losing her boyfriend, David Wilson.

A phone call between Mindy and Danno has been released and reveals how she was struggling to come to terms with her loss.

Mindy even admitted she saw no reason to keep living as she told Danno:

Many are still trying to understand what might have been going on in Mindy McCready’s mind that would lead her to killing herself when she had her children to live for.

The mother of two took her life this weekend, and while it is believed the loss of her boyfriend played a role in her decision, it looks like something else might have played a much larger role.

Days before she ended up taking her own life, she received court documents proposing her two sons go and live with her estranged mother as she was struggling to provide a proper home and care for them.

However, this might have been the final straw for Mindy as she sent a telling email to her friend and private investigator Danno Hanks that read:

We’re glad to hear that everyone is treating Mindy McCready’s death in a most respectful manner.

The country singer committed suicide this weekend which has led to Vivid Entertainment head Steve Hirsch stopping distribution of her sex tape.

The company first released the tape in 2010, but in the wake of the tragic situation, they have indefinitely frozen distribution of the tape titled Baseball Mistress.

The tape was made with Mindy’s boyfriend at the time and involves her discussing her affair with Roger Clemens.

While distribution has been frozen indefinitely, Steve is also working on stopping digital distribution as much as possible by pulling all digital copies from Vivid’s website.

There are no plans at this time to resume distribution of the tape.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the day that we lost one of music’s most legendary and iconic singers, Whitney Houston.

While it’s hard to believe that a year has already passed, we know her music and that beautiful smile of hers will forever and always live on.

Though many will try, none will ever come close to the absolutely amazing talent that she was.

Check out one of Whitney’s most powerful performances (above) of One Moment In Time, at the 1989 Grammy Awards.

No one could ever compare!!! So powerful…!!

Our thoughts go out to those closest to Nippy today, especially to Bobbi Kristina and Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston.

Rest in peace, Whitney… we will always love and miss you!

It’s almost been a year since the great Whitney Houston passed away before Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party.

And now that it’s that time of year again, many have been wondering what will happen with the legendary bash.

Clive and the Recording Academy will not only be honoring Whitney at the party this year, but it will still be held at the same hotel where the singer was found dead and in the same ballroom where the news was broken to guests.

And while we don’t know what is yet planned for the tribute to Whitney, we do know her family has been invited which has one of them PISSED.

Whitney’s mom, Cissy Houston, is outraged Clive would invite her to a party where her daughter passed away as she commented:

Fans planning to visit Jenni Rivera’s gravesite are in for a slight disappointment.

The singer, who died in a devastating plane crash, has a gravesite not accessible to fans who want to pay their respects.

She is buried at All Souls Cemetery in Long Beach, but her gravestone has not yet been placed at the site because it is being specially made.

Instead, some fans come to the area, but do not know her exact location as it has not been revealed. A source said:
