Sudbury camps out for The Backstreet Boys
05.31.08 | 11:28 am (Pacific Time) | Posted by: Crislyn
UPDATE: The Backstreet Boys concert sold out in approximately 20 minutes.
Tickets were scheduled to go on sale for $70 a pop on Friday at 10 a.m.

During the day, the girls hung out on butterfly chairs, chatting and munching on Ritz crackers, Hostess potato chips and Cheeswhiz.

One perk of being first in line is that they slept under the overhang at the entryway. But even with 11 blankets piled on, they still froze. And someone shot an egg at them in the middle of the night.

Nick Carter Cleans Up 'Celebrity Rehab' Confusion
05.19.08 | 08:05 am (Pacific Time) | Posted by: Crislyn
Nick Carter Not a Part of "Celebrity Rehab"

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 18, 2008 -- Recently there have been some confusing reports on the upcoming season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" and Nick being a part of the show; we would like to clear things up with the below statement from Nick.

Nick Carter: "Unfortunately there have been some confusing reports of my joining VH1's 'Celebrity Rehab' which are not true. I am currently finishing up a sold out, world wide tour with the Backstreet Boys and last night played to 17,000 London Fans! I am coming back to the US, not for 'Celebrity Rehab,' but to begin the US BSB Tour! I am not sure of my brother's career movements, but whatever they are I wish him the best."

Josh Hoge (you may or may not of have heard of him), posted on his blog at myspace about how the boys recorded a song of his. This is what he wrote.

But the best one to announce now is that I have a song (some may have heard before a few years back that I wrote) called "Undone". The Backstreet Boys just recorded it 2 days ago in London, and I think it may be their next radio single! We'll see…

Backstreet Boys are back, alright?
It could arguably be the comeback of the decade, and not for the first time either. After an initial split in 2001 and subsequent comeback album in 2006, followed by the departure of one of the five members that same year, the Backstreet Boys have made yet another comeback, the four remaining members proving they are made of the stuff that lasts the distance.

Last Friday the biggest boy band of all times played for a third time in Portugal, at Lisbon’s Pavilhăo Atlântico.
