NEWS
JUNE 1998
 
Today (June 12) MTV Asia broadcasted from Orlando, BSB appearing as guest-DJs (exactly; VJs) on MTV Most Wanted. They were AWESOME... (no surprises)... They read requests and with VJ Rahul Khanna they talked about everything. I was so dumb not recording it! Anywayz, Brian looked healthy and was doing impressions of Jim Carrey as always.  They also sing accapella ALAYLM, and sing a li'l bit of 'Frozen' from Madonna. See, the thing is, Madonna went on the same show before, and she was asked by a VJ "Do you know any particular boyband song?" And Mads sang QPG. Backstreet saw what Mads did, they took revenge. (Hee hee)
AJ's hair looked short and curly.. I don't know what it's exactly like-- he was wearing a red cap.
Nick was wearing a cap backwards. He reads the request which says "Nick, take off your shirt!" At that point, Howie grabs Nicky's shirt but Nick refuses to take it off. (of course! Whaddaya expect from The King of Innocence?)
Kevin wears short pants and lookin cool, Howie's still adorable as usual.

Maybe you all have already saw 'Let the Music Heal Your Soul'. It's out on MTV! Backstreet is in a recording studio (apparts from the other singers). Brian and Nick each sings solos, and also a little bit of AJ's voice at the end. Cool video, there were also Aaron, Gil, The Moffatts, The Boyz, Blumchen, Touche, and Sqeezer (where the heck were N'sync?). BSB all sang together for the chorus. Nick & Bri wears almost identical black ski-hat with a name on them (I can't figure out what they were!).
P.S.: Remember that pic I put up on last month's news? That person I thought was Bri... that was not him! Sorry for the inconvenience....
 
 
Okay this is a v. old news.... not exactly old but this is about the Boys' bios. Let's start with Brian (my fave Boy always comes first!). I've got many, many letters asking what his nickname 'Seaver' means. Well, before Brian joined the BSB, he was in a church basketball team and his church pals called him 'Seaver' which came from a name of an American baseball player; Tom Seaver.
Some people also wants to know what 'B-rok' means. 'Rok' is an American slang of basketball. Brian got this nickname from BSB's instructor, who's fond of basketball, just like him.

About Nicky's appearence in 'Edward Scissorhands'...... you'll see him if you watch VERY close. But I think you wouldn't recognize him anyway. Just so you know, here's the situation: Edward look out thru the window and then he sees some kids playing. One of 'em is Nick. The scene only took a second, it was also blur. Nick said his part was actually not a 'part'. He rather say that he was 'on the set'. =(

As for Howie's part on 'Parenthood', he was in a class-room scene. At least he's more visible than Nick in the 'Edward Scissorhand'.
Watch out! Howie's only 15 that time!
The old days before Howie became a Backstreet Boy, he had a stage name which he really hates, but he had to use it. His agent told him that 'Howie Dorough' isn't memorable. So the agent picked out Howie a new name..... Tony Donetti. *LOL*

Now let's get back to 1998......
