In an exclusive interview with The Boot, McCready claims she had nothing to do with the first. Kari Ann Peniche blamed McCready, her 'Celebrity Rehab' roommate, for leaking a homemade sex tape starring actors Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart and Peniche. McCready admits she was shocked when Dane contacted her. "I went back to Florida and got a phone call a few days later from Eric Dane saying, 'I understand you have a video that belongs to me,' and I said, 'I don't even know what you're talking about.'"
The already difficult situation was exacerbated by Peniche, who blamed McCready for leaking the tape.
"She [Peniche] is an extremely disturbed and very sick individual," claims McCready. "The thing that she craves the most -- to be famous -- is also the worst thing for her, because she is such a sick person. I do want people to understand what happened in that situation is not at all the story that she's told, and everything that comes out of her mouth is complete and utter bull. ... I hope that she does get help, and I hope that she does get better."
McCready says Peniche's stalling complicated matters futher.
"So I sent my computer person the hard drive and went to Eric Dane's lawyer's office. ... They took Kari Ann's information on a separate hard drive," she says. "We all signed the confidentiality agreement that said none of us would talk about what was on there, none of us had any other copies of it. Except, the day that Kari Ann was supposed to sign the agreement, she didn't show up. And the next day the video was on Gawker.com."
Celebs and Sex Tapes
And if you thought one sex tape wasn't complicated enough, try two. McCready's world became even more toxic when her own sex tape surfaced.
"It's another stupid life decision that I look back on now and go, 'Why would you do such a thing?' ... Unlike other celebrities who have sex tapes, I am not going to make a deal to release the sex tape. ... I think it is absolutely horrible. I do not like porn. I have a four-year-old child who is the most important thing in the world, and I don't ever want him to be able to go onto the Internet and look at his mom in that situation."
McCready also dismisses allegations that the sex tape's release was purposeful, as she had a new album to promote.
"I read a million articles where people said that I did that on purpose," sighed McCready. "Of all the things I've done in my life, I've not been a person that has done crazy stuff like that. I'm a country music singer. I'm a Southern girl. I do have morals, and I do have ethics, and I do believe in doing the right thing. I believe the porn industry is not a good industry. ... So I hope that we are able to stop it from ever coming out. But if not, I'm certainly going to fight to let people know that that is how I feel."

Why any woman would want to make a 'sex tape' is a mystery to me.
Mostly with these famous people, dont they know most people will sell about anything they can to make a buck off of something such as that? After one time wouldnt most people catch on? I hope she gets better, I really do. I hate to know anyones hurting.

I can't believe my ears ! She said "I am a good country girl, I do have morals." That equal to Bill Clinton saying "I didn't have sex with that girl!" What kind of dingbat blonde would make that idiotic statement and still have any kind of following.
Natalie Main was a big mouth idiot, but she didn't produce any girl-boy-0girl sex tapes we know of..
Oh, they all blame drugs for their hedonistic activities. She just wanted sex, lots of it, every which way she could get it and claims it was a mistake?

WINE 0.9.59 Released w/ Lots of Fixes
Last week CodeWeavers had released CrossOver Games, which is a more frequently updated version of their CrossOver Office software and is optimized for use with Windows games. If you're still using WINE directly, however, you'll be pleased to know that a new release is out today with a number of changes. WINE 0.9.59 has improved support for Microsoft's .NET framework, improved service handling through a separate services.exe process, support for ATI's fragment shader, improved support for HTTP proxies, window management fixes, and pre-compiled fonts can now be found in the WINE source tree. In addition, there are also a number of bug fixes. Head on over to Wine HQ for the full change-log and download links.

CrossOver Games For Linux Released
Last week Phoronix exclusively reported that CodeWeavers would be introducing their CrossOver Games this coming Tuesday. Well, they have done so this morning. CodeWeavers, the company known for their WINE patronage and WINE-based CrossOver Office product designed to run Windows Office applications on Linux, has kicked their foot in the door into the Linux gaming sector. CrossOver Games uses WINE and is very similar to CrossOver Office in fact, but the difference between their two products is that CrossOver Games will be updated much more frequently and is designed just for Windows gaming software.

The WINE project will turn 15 years old this June, and to celebrate there will be the version 1.0 release of WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator). The 1.0 release plan puts two release candidates in May and then the final release on June 6, 2008. If it's not ready by June 6, the 1.0 release will be pushed back to June 20 or July 4.

WINE 0.9.57 Released With Fixes
Two weeks ago with WINE 0.9.56 we were greeted with proper handling of OpenGL/Direct3D windows with menu bars, stubs for all the d3dx9_xx DLLs, several graphics optimizations, and many installer fixes, for those that use WINE to run Windows programs on Linux. While the change-log this time around isn't as interesting, WINE 0.9.57 is now out with a couple of improvements. WINE now has support for multiple OpenGL pixel formats, improved support for color profiles, a number of window management fixes, and better full-screen support. As always, there are also a number of bug-fixes to be found in each WINE update. Head on over to WINE HQ for the announcement.

Cedega 6.1 Coming, Soon To Be Beta
In April of last year we had provided the first preview of Cedega 6.0 as well as a performance look at this software that's based upon WINE and is designed to allow you to get your gaming fix from Windows games on Linux. Cedega 6.0 had introduced support for such games as Battlefield 2142 and Need For Speed: Carbon. Under the hood Cedega 6.0 had a few highlights when it came to a new memory allocator, ATI fglrx improvements, support for new FBO extensions, dynamic CPU speed support, and much more. However, now it looks like that as we approach the one year anniversary of Cedega 6.0, that Cedega 6.1 isn't too far out on the horizon.
