IT'S not just the female pop stars who are under pressure to keep fit and look good. Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys lost nearly 20kg to get in shape for the release of the US boy band's latest album, Unbreakable, and upcoming world tour.
"I was really unhealthy the last tour," Carter says.
"I was really fat and disgusting. I never want to get to that again. People are watching you so you have to uphold your image to a certain extent."
The 27-year-old weighed about 100kg at his heaviest, and says it took him six months to lose the weight.
Jordin Sparks, Mario, Backstreet Boys, Teddy Geiger and others have teamed with mobile-media company Mozes for "Voices of America,"
a campaign that allows people to send well-wishes to soldiers overseas via voice messages. People can call the toll-free number 888-312-2612 to
send messages to troops, who will have access to them through Armed Forces Entertainment. Hinder, Five for Fighting, Switchfoot's Jon Foreman
and others are also participating in the campaign.

Since there was no way for everyone to see the questions and Howie's replies, I have gone through and cut and pasted them for everyone to see. There were some really good questions and Howie loved seeing all the love and support from the fans!! He said he would DEFINITELY be doing more of this soon but please remember, he is very busy as rehearsals for the tour and the tour are getting started in January!! He really regretted not being able to answer more questions!!

For those of us re-living our childhood and still engrossed in the world of pretty boys and bubblegum pop music, this year’s Christmas came early. Oct. 30 marked the release of the Backstreet Boys sixth studio album, Unbreakable.
Backstreet Boys' No. 7 debut on The Billboard 200 with sixth CD "Unbreakable" makes clear how attentive the group's fan base remains 15 years after being pop radio's premium boy band brand. First release "Inconsolable" got a modicum of attention at adult top 40 and AC radio, but failed to cross to top 40. (Overseas love was more equitable; it reached the top 20 in the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Switzerland.) "Helpless When She Smiles" has been pegged by pop programmers as the next to go with, which hits the mark as a consummate BSB ballad, amped with enough electric guitars to fuel the edge it needs to compete alongside Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy and—ironically—boy band du jour Jonas Brothers. A worldwide tour launching next year is sure to prove that the chart game is less a measure of Backstreet's enduring relevance than the mania sure to ensue.
During his 15-year career as a multi-platinum-selling Backstreet Boy, there were times during the late-'90s and early 2000s when singer Brian Littrell wanted to escape the frenzy surrounding his vocal group.
Nick won at the weekly poll of Hello! Magazine's Most Attractive Men and now, he's on the lead again against Ricky Martin, Keith Urban and Ewan McGregor. Click
