Brian Littrell is the married Backstreet Boy, and he
thinks his bandmates should consider settling down
to avoid the temptations of celebrity. Littrell told
our colleague, Geoff Boucher, that the heartthrobs
are eager to get back on the road after waiting
more than a month while A.J. McLean, who's 23,
deals with a drinking problem.
There's no better rehab than the love of a good
woman, the 26-year-old Littrell says. "The good
thing about Leighanne and I is we can always pack
up and go home and be away from everything." The
couple celebrate their first anniversary Sept. 2.
"We've got the stability. Some of the guys in the
group don't. I long for them to have what I have,"
Littrell said. "Life is too short to live a million miles an hour." The Littrells are launching a music label and production company called Brileigh (catchy, huh?). First up is a straight-to-video romantic comedy called "Olive Juice," starring and
co-produced by Leighanne.
The Backstreet Boys will play Milwaukee on Friday night, their first show since the July 9 announcement that McLean was entering rehab.
"I think the emotional health of the group is really on the up and up," Littrell said before heading to a video shoot for the new single, "Drowning." He added, "A.J. is doing fine .... The situation we're in, you feel like you have life handed to you on a silver platter and you kind of miss the true meaning of what life is all about."
