News Archive 3: Aug. 1, 1999 It seems that A.J. has gotten a tongue ring....nifty The Backstreet Boys are nominated in four categories in this year's MTV Music Awards: Best Group Video, Best Pop Video, Viewer's Choice and Video of the Year. For the few remaining ppl that didn't know which song will be the next single..it's "Larger Than Life." Aug. 10, 1999 I know most of you already know this, but the concert tickets go on sale this Saturday, August 14 at 10:00 am. They will cost anywhere from $28.50 to $38.50. Last month I posted some news about Nick making a solo album. Well, I read the transcript from his chat on the Disney website, it seems that he isn't going to be making one. So, I believe that I accidentally posted a rumor in my news bin, and I'm sorry for that. However, he may actually still be making one. I dunno either way. As far as Sears is concerned. If you buy anything from the juniors department for $35 or more, then you get a free BSB poster. If you sign up for a PULSE card AND spend $35 or more, then you receive a free CD-ROM and the Poster of the BSB. In 12 days it will be Howie's 25th Birthday!!! AND it will also be my brother's 15th Birthday. (I just though you guys might wanna know :) Sept. 7, 1999 Howie has a new corvette Princess Madeline and Prince Carl Phillip of Gothenburg, Sweden recently attended one of BSB's concerts...guess where? A reporter asked the boys what has been the highlight of the world tour so far, they said that it was their show in Amsterdam, Holland. There they performed for the biggest crowd ever, 60,000 fans. On the morning of Aug. 4, 1999, Howard Stern was doing his usual morning show, and he mentioned the BSB!! He was talking about the "I Want it That Way" video and saying he likes it and stuff. His radio buddies were making fun of him, and he was like, "You know ya'll like it! At least I am man enough to say that I like it." And then he started singing the song! " Tell me whyeee!" He was talking and singing for about 15 minutes! Some guy then called in and said "Please stop singing!" then asked "You like 'NSYNC too huh?" And Howard said, "NO WAY!!, They are wannabees...a bunch of rip- offs. No way are they like the Backstreet Boys!". Brian has co-written a song for Don Philip entitled "How Did I Ever," with producer/songwriter Eric Foster White, who is producing Phillip's as-yet-untitled Jive debut. Don first appeared on Britney Spears' album on the track "I Will Still Love You." The Backstreet Boys have sold out their entire 11-week, 39-cities North American tour in record time Saturday, with most of the 765,000 available tickets getting snapped up within a mere hour. (I didn't get tickets *sob*). Tickets were priced from $28.50 to $38.50, and final sales estimates rolled in around $30 million. Fans formed mile-long lines and jammed the Ticketmaster phone lines and Website. Oct. 4, 1999 Kevin turned 28 yesterday!! Happy Belated Birthday!!! On to some other stuff...The Boys have been nominated in several categories for the MTV Europe Music Awards: Oct. 11, 1999 Ok..there's no other way for me to say this then to yell it, THE BACKSTREET BOYS HAVE TENTATIVELY ROUTED ANOTHER NORTH AMERICAN TOUR FOR MAY AND JUNE OF NEXT YEAR!!!!! Okay everyone..breathe with me, inhale, exhale. And if you're wondering who my source is..it's MTV NEWS!!! OMG..i gotta breathe..I might be able to see 'em again!! OMG..that'd be sooooo cool! When I find more out..I promise I'll post it ASAP. The Backstreet Boys have made yet another home video called Standing Room Only...YESS I CAN'T WAIT!! It's due out on Nov. 9th. The Backstreet Boys had been scheduled to appear at the Galaxy Club in Des Plaine Illinois. But for whatever reason, they didn't show up and it disappointed a lot of fans that had lined up to meet them. I'm sure there were very valid reasons for it. One fan reported that she saw a vehicle circling the club but no one ever came out. She's convinced that it was them and the reason they didn't come out was due to the fact that it may have become too dangerous due to all the people standing around. It was most likely a security measure that the Boys themselves couldn't control. Oct. 24, 1999 It seems that Kevin Scott Richardson is being considered as the SEXIEST MAN ALIVE for People Magazine!!!!! The issue will be out in two weeks. Now..I dunno if it's true or not. But they sure would be takin' a step in the right direction if it were...cuz...well...KEVIN IS THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!!!!! The Backstreet Boys will sing the National Anthem at the Palace of Auburn Hill as the home opener for the Detroit Piston's on Nov. 5. So get your tickets now if you're in the area. Tickets are sold through all Ticketmaster outlets. The latest RUMOR is that Kevin is engaged. Once again...I dunno if it's true or not. But I can honestly say that if it is, then I'm extremely happy for him and I wish him all the best. As many of you may already know, Howie was an audience member in the Jerry Springer show. I don't know which one it was, but I do know it's already been aired and he sat next to security. |
