------// THIS JUST IN

Where you'll find my comments on the happenings going on in BackstreetLand or anywhere else in the land of Entertainment!! *Exciting isn't it?* My comments are in italics.


[July 3, 2002]

Nick Carter songs, both old and new, have recently been leaked out on the net. What's with this sudden outpouring of new Nick songs? First, we had 'Love to Love' with rumours flying in every direction possible before everyone finally settling on the fact that it was a demo for Black & Blue...then a week later we get 'Help Me'. Followed by one that people aren't sure is his and 'My Confession'. I swear, it feels like I go to sleep, wake up, and another one is floating around. Maybe someone at the Backstreet Camp know we're deprived so they decided to tide us over with some Nickerlas Carter...if so, I'm ready to kiss the ground they walk on :D

Ohio Sen. George Voinovich said he boycotted a meeting of the Senate Environment subcommittee to protest Richardson's testimony on mountaintop mining waste. This, people, is called IGNORANCE. Mr. Voinovich doesn't even know the first thing about Kevin and immediately put a label on him. Not only that, but he obviously doesn't care about Earth or the environment. If he did, he would appreciate anything ANYONE had to offer, not just Kevin. Besides, media never hurt anybody. Because Kevin testified, he made a million more people care about the environment and actually know about what is going on in the world today. Too bad Mr. Voinovich is too arrogant to understand that. *gets off soap box*

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter recently contacted the Bloodhound Gang frontman after hearing his trance infused remix of Weezer's "Hashpipe." "He asked me to write a song for him for his new record, a rock song." Oh joy, Nick is going to sing the Discovery-Channel Song Part Deux. That's okay though, I saw it coming a mile away. He played that song TWICE when he guest-dj-ed on 93.3 FLZ...yup, Nick is a horny twenty-something. lmao

The Backstreet Boys were voted most stylish at the Rit Dye Entertainment Style Awards. Apparently, they haven't seen Nick's fugly shirts yet.

2002 ESPY Awards: What was Nick Lachey doing there? Speaking of which, what was Nick CARTER doing there?

Samuel L. Jackson is not funny!

The ESPY Awards are real big on video montages aren't they?

[March 17, 2002]

Grammys 2002: Okay Chrissy Aguilera's been spending way too much time at the tanning salon - you're Latina, we get it, stop trying so hard! Really, a nice tan never hurt anybody...until it starts looking faker than a Barbie doll!

Whoever writes the teleprompter lines for the Grammys needs to get some serious help - can we say CORNY?

Nick Carter has purchased a 43-foot offshore raceboat and plans to campaign it in the APBA's 2002 circuit. His father, Bob Carter, will pilot the boat. Nick, however, is a competent boat driver and may be in the boat from time to time when his recording and appearances schedules permit. They called him COMPETENT - this describing a guy who got in trouble for killing seaweed last time he was in a boat. And now we're trusting him to RACE one. Oh my.

Kevin on Fear Factor: Dude, I would SO not do that cockroach/snake/worm thing for $10,000 - ICK. I couldn't even WATCH some of that part. Other than that, I DID enjoy watching Kevin moon the camera. haha!

In an interview with VH1 over the weekend in Miami, A.J. disclosed that he's engaged to up-and-coming singer Sarah Martin. Isn't it nice to know you knew this MONTHS before the press did? The joys of being a Backstreet Boys fan!

Aaron's PPV Special: Thank you Nick for giving me the goosebumps again. He sang two of my most favourite songs in the world...songs I got goosebumps listening to for the first time. And of course, over time, those goosebumps disappeared. But nope, thanks to Nick, they came back. THAT, people, is why I love them.

[November 24, 2001]

It’s after midnight in London when Nick Carter calls the ‘Hits. His voice is high-pitched and for a moment we wonder if we’re talking to his younger pop star brother, Aaron. D-R-Y. I’m sure Nick loved that line.

The Backstreet Boys will break up later this month, according to a prediction by top US psychic, Dikki-Jo Mullen. According to Mullen, Brian and Nick will pursue successful solo careers, Howie will do stand-up comedy and Kevin will hit the lecture circuit. AJ's shot at going solo might make him wish that the group was back together. Howie will do stand-up comedy? That in itself is punchline better than anything Howie would come up with. And Kevin hitting the lecture circuit – LMFAO. Unfortunately I can see that happening…except I can also see Kevin doing that and putting people to sleep. This, people, is why you don’t spend five bucks a minute calling Miss Cleo.

Just about everything for Chapter One, including the video for Drowning was delayed a zillion times. Gee…who would have thunk it?

Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys and Joey Fatone of *NSYNC had a dancing duel at New York City's China Club this week, the New York Daily News reports. The two reportedly took turns showing off their dance moves for a group of female onlookers, but the girls couldn't decide on a winner. HAH more like the whole situation was just too embarrassing the girls couldn’t bare to watch. I mean, can you imagine? Possibly the two worst dancers from each group actually in a DANCING DUEL? Where’s a camera when you need one?

CDUK: “Nick bounds into the room in a loud shirt. ‘You know what I need?’ he asks with a cheeky grin, ‘I need milk!’” You know what they say – Milk does a body good. In Nick’s case, it did his body EXTREMELY good. *cough – takes her mind out of the gutter now*

CDUK: “Brian: I do call my little dog, Tyk. I talk to him in baby speak - "Hi little Tykey Tykey!" He wags his tail, he knows his daddy!” Oh lordy…the cuteness is almost too much.


[September 4, 2001]

New York Times: "In the album's liner notes, Joey Fatone even thanks Ron Jeremy, the pornography star, for teaching him what being a celebrity was all about." Please tell me that doesn't mean what I think it means...tsk tsk, Joey, tsk tsk.

Cincinnatti Enquirer: "Turns out each of the five Boys has his own $1.2 million custom coach for privacy on the road."
$1.2 million? Even my house doesn't cost that much! They owe me big time. LMAO

The Boys are releasing a greatest hits album. Great, I get to buy a CD with all their overplayed singles that I'll never listen to. *sigh* The demands of being obsessed.

Howie has been awarded the honour of becoming a Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Torch Relay Carrier. So that's why he got his hair cut - with all the hairspray and how long his hair was, I'm pretty sure it would have caught on fire VERY quickly.

MTV is holding a Last Fan Standing Contest and the 2 fans who win will get to present the Viewer's Choice Award at this year's VMAs. Let's see - the Boys are leaving the Awards early to perform in Jersey. Boy will it suck if the winner's a BSB fan and the Boys win. That's just unfair, man...and just the type of thing that would happen to me.

Welcome back, AJ.


[April 28, 2001]

Aaron Carter was on Jay Leno just a couple days ago, and he was talking about how Nick couldn't chase him up a tree "because Nick was too fat to climb up it." That would be Aaron getting back at Nick for pieing him on Nickelodeon.

DJ on Y-100: "What about John Secada, Lionel Richie, and Steve Perry?"
Krystal: "Met all of them and saw them backstage at concerts and they were nothing but love toward me..."
Steve Perry? Nick must have been DYING.

What celebrities charge for their time - Elton John, 'N Sync, BSB: $1 million per private concert DAYUM that's a lot of money.

Teen Mag: Nick walks up near Howie, and to the mirror, pushes his gut out as far as he can. Then he cups and jiggles his, uh, tire, with both hands saying: “Yeah, baby! How’s that?” How much I would have paid to see that...

Joey Fatone just had a baby daughter with his girlfriend. What's up with boyband members and having children with their girlfriends? First it was Jeff from 98 Degrees, now we have Joey Fatone. Oh no...Aj better not...


[April 4, 2001]

Summer Leg of the Black & Blue Tour: Who was the genius who decided to have a couple dates go on sale each week? Cause that not only causes confusion, it's damn annoying not knowing when your city's gonna go onsale. And then of course another genius decided to jack up the prices...

The Boys showed off their *special talents* on Jay Leno. Scarred for life, that's what happened to me. Okay, not scarred completely but ya gotta admit...it was GROSS. I couldn't even watch some of it. Oh well...at least that proves their normal.

Nick was a guest on Loveline a couple weeks ago. Since when was Nick the love expert out of the group? Shouldn't he be the one with the least experience? Gotta admit though, it was interesting...never thought there would be a day when Nick would give people love/sex advice.

Aaron Carter on his next album: "There's a song with my brother -- a duet -- it's called 'Oh, Aaron.'" Oh Aaron Aaron, how was I supposed to know...*ahem* sorry...but God, if I can't wait to see what that song's gonna sound like. LMAO


[March 3, 2001]

"You could say I get overweight and depressed," says Nick. "Whenever the BSB have time off, and I'm home by myself, I start feeling a little antsy. So I end up playing video games, watching TV and over-eating. It's been a real problem for me. Sometimes people comment on how I look like I've gained weight, which hurts. But eating is just something I do when I'm bored, when I feel sad or when I have too much free time on my hands." Nick - you're perfect the way you are. Don't listen to people who say stuff about your weight. Besides, I eat when i'm bored too so you're not alone. To everyone who think Nick is fat - LAY OFF dammit.

From YM Magazine: "Why Aaron would be able to show Christina Aguilera what a girl wants: 'I'm smooth like that.'" LMAO...what did I say about Nick rubbing off on Aaron? Make way for Pimpdaddy Junior!

The Boys lost the Grammy to Steely Dan on the 21st. They got shafted AGAIN! That seriously bites...and to Steely Dan too? Ok, who the hell listens to Steely Dan?? Damn old geezers in the recording academy...

Howie and Kevin didn't make it onto the Hot Seat on Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire. Betcha if Nick was on it, he would have made it into the hot seat. Why? Cause he's the type of guy who'd probably just randomly press the buttons as quick as he can for the fastest thinker question without even thinking about it...and end up getting it right. Told ya replacing him was a bad idea!!

In Leslie Carter's debut video, she gets close with a teenage guy. Hmmm...wonder what Nick thought about the guy in the video? Ya know...considering he's the big brother and all. "Get your hands off my sister!" Speaking of new videos...what does Justin think of Britney's new video? She and that guy were practically doing it on that beach, dude.


[February 3, 2001]

According to ABC, Kevin has replaced Nick on the upcoming celebrity editions of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire'. HA! What did I say? Surprise, surprise, as if I didn't see that one comin a mile away. You know, this really bites - I was so lookin forward to watchin Nick squirm in the hot seat. Now I have to fight sleep watching Kevin - 10 bucks says he'll be too slow to answer the fastest-thinker question.

The Boys sang the national anthem at the SuperBowl on Sunday. Wow. I don't care if some stupid macho football guys booed them Sunday because they sang beautifully and succeeded in blowing me away. I'm not even American, and they made me feel proud.

Lance Bass dissed O-Town, saying they weren't "real" and were "a bunch of stupidity". Lance, honey, do you think you really have the right to say that? Remember....you aren't much better. You were made by Lou Pearlman to be Backstreet carbon copies after all. First, ya diss the Boys, then ya diss O-Town. Arrogant much?

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were spotted at the January 22nd Backstreet Boys Black & Blue show. Haha...so THAT'S how *Nsync finds out what to copy! Stealing concert ideas again, aren't we?

Nick recently got two new tattoos - one on his shoulder above the tribal band, and one on his leg. What is he doing?? One AJ in the band is enough, thankyouverymuch. Chill out on the tattoos man...3 was enough. The little teenies who love the 'cute one' are scared.


[January 7, 2001]

The Boys are going to appear on an upcoming edition of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". I will laugh so hard if Nick wins the most out of everyone there. But then I'll laugh harder if Nick doesn't show because he went to "see his brother" or something. LMAO - sure Nick....more like you FORGOT TO STUDY

The Boys are nominated for a Grammy in this year's Grammy Awards. They're up against "Pinch Me" by the Barenaked Ladies, "Breathless" by The Corrs, "Bye Bye Bye" by *NSync, and "Cousin Dupree" by Steely Dan. STEELY DAN?? I'm pretty sure they were around when my Dad was a teenager....oh boy.


[January 1, 2001]

"Like the new Backstreet album, I don't like it at all. If I were Jive records I would have been embarrassed to put my name on it. And what is up with Kevin? He looks like the picture in my head I have of Satan." - Christina "Anorexic" Aguilera Woah...bitch alert.

*Nsync announced recently that they will be doing the halftime show at this year's Super Bowl. How predictable. I can just see it.
*Justin calls an emergency *Nsync meeting.*
"Yo, homies, dem Backstreet Boyz are doing the Super Bowl, yo."
Lance: "What? That means we gotta do it too! And I thought I would get the day off that day." *sighs*
JC: "Sorry Lance, but *Nsync's gotta do, what *Nsync's gotta do. I'll go call management now and tell them to give the Super Bowl guys a little bling bling and maybe we can do halftime!"

"Nick heads straight over to the catered spread and immediately starts chucking meatballs out the window to see if he can hit the roof below." - YM Magazine Nice to know all our hard-earned cash goes to food Nick entertains himself with...


[December 10, 2000]

On the Billboards, Lance Bass and Kathy Griffin shared a *steamy* kiss. Woah....total deja vu here. Like a flashback to the '98 Billboards...when Lance and Kathy did the exact same thing! Hmmm....maybe those two have something going on that we don't know about...?

Nick and Aaron presented an award to Christina Aguilera. Aaron's dream came true - Christina gave him a kiss. LMAO

Each NSync member dressed in a different colour for their performance of 'Just Got Paid' on the Billboards. Okay, I'm pretty sure that's a fashion no-no. First of all, they're dressed like pimps in their fur coats. Then they want to look like a rainbow. How cute. I feel like I'm in the Wizard of Oz or something...


[November 29, 2000]

Nsync will star in a second version of 'Grease' with Britney Spears. Tell me this isn't true... cause just the thought of that scares me. *shudders*

The Backstreet Boys private jet for the 100-hour Around-The-World Black & Blue Promo Tour. See it. Have you guys seen this thing?? It's so loaded...better than my own house! I really wouldn't mind moving in there permanently...

The Boys dropped by New York's Virgin Megastore on November 21st unexpectedly. Okay, imagine the chaos THAT caused.

The new album Black & Blue. Wow.


[November 11, 2000]

CDNOW.com: "Aaron may look to his teen-aged brother and his boys for some of his inspiration, but the budding star is truly carried by another band: Journey. Yes, that Journey. 'Journey is my favorite group of all time,' he gushes." Ok, this Nick and Aaron clone thing is starting to get scary. HA! Told ya so.

YTV's HitList gave Aaron Carter a quiz on Canada, and he aced it!! Apparently, Aaron's WAY BETTER at Geography than big bro Nicky...


[October 29, 2000]

Yes I will from Black & Blue, co-written by AJ: "I'm down on my knees/I'm asking you/Three words...Yes I will... I'll give you everything you need/And sometime start a family... with you." Start a FAMILY? Leave it to Aj to start thinking bout sex in the middle of a perfectly nice song.

Justin's grown a goatee for the 'This I Promise You' video. As if the fro wasn't bad enough...


[October 18, 2000]

Britney's launching a new eyewear line! Cause I can just SEE Aj wearing a pair of Britney glasses.

Kevin tore his ACL and had to have surgery. Dude, he's a walking accident. First he breaks his arm skiing, now he tears up his leg. *sigh* tsk, tsk, Kevin


[October 9, 2000]

Shape of My Heart: Wow. That's all I can possibly say about this song. The Boys never fail to disappoint do they? I'm so proud of them! *sniff sniff*

They're everywhere! Anyone notice that all of a sudden, the Boys are everywhere? You can't even freakin keep up with it. Talk about overwhelming. Going from total Backstreet Withdrawal to radio and tv appearances everyday is SO not healthy. For me at least - I know for sure I was thisclose to getting a heart attack the last couple of days.

The Burger King Promotion is over. Well I'm never going back there again. If I haveta have another whopper/kids meal again...

Britney and Justin have admitted that they're going out. OMG REALLY????? Like, I SO did not see that coming a mile away!! I mean he ONLY went to every one of her concerts and hangs out with her ALL THE TIME! NO WAY!!
*Just to clarify, yes, I was being sarcastic*


[September 19th]

The Boys are thinking about investing in a convention hotel in downtown Huntsville, Alabama. Maybe they'll have Backstreet bedspreads and pillowcases and complimentary CDs in every hotel room. *Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?*

Christina Aguilera and Limp Bizket's performance at the MTV VMAs. Now I can honestly say that I've seen everything.

Nick and Willa are going to get married. Ok, just to make sure we're all on the same page, this was a rumour - a very funny one too. So before you all freak out - it isn't true. Besides, I just don't see Nick as a guy that can be committed to anything...I mean, they don't call him the Mackdaddy for nothing.

Girl: I love the Backstreet Boys!
Lance: There's no accounting for taste
Well he can just shove it up his ass. *oops...did I just say that out loud?*


[September 6th]

The next Backstreet album, is rumoured to be called "Black and Blue". Hey, aren't they forgeting green, yellow, and purple? Then we can have ALL of the Boys' favourite colours! LMAO Well at least it sure beats 'Jive' for the new name...

There will NOT be a Backstreet + *Nsync concert at London's Wembley Stadium. Oh I saw that one coming a mile away... the day BSB and *Nsync share the same stage is the day hell freezes over.


[August 29th]

*Nsync is coming out with a board game where the point of the game is to get the five *Nsync boys to the stage on time. I can see it now: "Copied the Backstreet Boys again! Advance 5 squares and roll again!" Talk about trying to make money off the teenies!! Hmmmm....anyone feel an NKOTB scenario comin?

The next Backstreet Boys album will be due out November 21st. How did I KNOW that would happen? First it was supposed to be October 10th, now it's November 21st. Next thing you know, it'll be out next year! I think they're running on Backstreet Time again. How predictable.

Aaron's new video "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" Dayum! Did ya'll see the new Aaron Carter video? The fur coat part was kinda funny. I can almost see him say, "My name is KIIIIIID ROCK!!" LMAO The boy looks so much like Nick, it's SCARY. They even friggin ACT the same way. I think I'm in LOOOVE. Wait...is that allowed? *looks around nervously* I'm not too old for him....am I?

In Leslie Carter's interview with MuchMusic, she mentions that Aaron asks out every girl he sees. Just one thing....WHAT HAS NICK DONE TO HIM??? The kid is TWELVE dammit. I think Nick's mackdaddy skills have been rubbing off on Aaron a bit too much.


[August 15th]

*Nsync are gonna get Orlando's key to the city tomorrow. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Boys presented with that a year or two ago? I smell a rat in the *Nsync department - this copying-the-Boys insanity has GOT to stop dammit.

The Boys weren't nominated for any of this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The Explanation: It's not their year because if they were nominated, all the awards would become pop-oriented. It's not their friggen year?? HELLOOO? So now it doesn't matter how good the videos are, it's all about whether it's the *Nsync year or the Backstreet year... Can you say s-t-u-p-i-d?


[July 30th]

The McDonald's commercial with Britney and *Nsync. I didn't get that commercial at all...they play spin the bottle and Britney spins and it lands on Justin. No surprise there. But what THAT had to do with McDonald's, I don't know. Except it just adds fuel to the *Nsync-Backstreet and McDonald's-Burger King battle!

Wallace was shocked when the boyband member took out a vacuum at the couples Georgia, American home and began hovering to music "like it was a game." Wallace says, "Vacuuming is now Brian's favourite thing to do..." LMAO...you can come vacuum my house anytime you want, Brian.

*Nsync will star in their own movie (or something like that). Anyone feel a Spice World 2 coming on? You'd think they'd learn after THAT disaster...


[July 23rd]

Howie's launching his own producing company, named Howie Doit.
Real original, Howie. But I thought we were over this "using-my-name-to-make-a-gay-phrase" stage in your life!! How many times have we been over this Howard? He's bringing back baaaad memories of All I Have To Give Part 2...*shudders* Oh, people are gonna take you real seriously now...

Two girls stole Lil Tyk and Litty Leigh.
That's just sick, disgusting, pathetic and.....need I say more? Why would you steal Brian and Leighanne's dogs?? They mean so much to them! I'm sure taking his dogs will make Brian love you THAT much more huh?
