*NSYNC on Jay Leno, 04/04/00

The point: I thought it was kick-ass. The performance of Bye Bye Bye (which, I am happy to say, I am no longer sick of, thank you) was nearly bang-on perfect, both choreography-wise and vocally. Lance wasn't quite gimping it with the ankle anymore, which I was glad to see, although he was obviously still taking it easy during the lasso move. Joey's still the best at those body bops, though ("...make it tough/...had enough"). I love JC, but sometimes I want to grab him and shake him. He's been having trouble nailing that "Bye bye.... baby!" note lately. It's like, he goes for the "bye bye" and it's beautiful... then he chickens out and hits the "baby" with his falsetto, and his voice breaks every time. Don't do that, hun; SCREAM that note out if you have to -- I'll love ya more for it. Thanks.
So then when they're done their number Jay comes up to shake everyone's hand and puts his arm around Lance; meanwhile Lance is like "Don't touch me-- I have to do my obligatory dorky dance to the 'break-to-commercial' music. Look at me!"

*NSYNC have been taking a lot of flack for their new "retro/grunge" look... am I the only one who loves it? I mean, my God, it's not like I'd exactly dress like that myself, but if that's what they want, then by all means, fellas, go for it! There's very little that they've worn lately that I strongly object to. Joey's hairy SNL pants are one... the raincoat-like jackets JC has been wearing are another. I actually don't mind Justin's recent obsession with denim. Hey, I think it's cute. Just lay off the bedazzler, JuJu baby. Anyways, the trend continued that night. I dug Justin's cut-off jacket, and the denim on Lance. And hey. I even liked the shirt Lance had on underneath the jacket. It was... different. :-P

I like their new style, all right??

I'll even stand alone and say that I liked the way Joey's hair was styled. ::gasp:: Yeah, you read right. I thought it was cute! I'll always like the shorter, spiky look best, but the bangs look was worlds better than the slicked-back, Mobster look he was wearing for a while there. So neener neener. Send your hate mail directly to me. I liked Joey's hair. :P~~~~~

On to the interview... oh, how I adore these guys. Excuse the gushing please. JC did his spazzy laugh; Joey and his "eeeeeehhhNO" response to the "time off" question... Justin on being "buttah" (and at the end of the show when he held up the plate of butter and gave that head-nod? ROTFL). Chris had me in stiches as he tried to excite the crowd. You have a lot of power, Chris, and don't you know it. And Lance... close-up... blue tips... huge grin... thank you Jesus. Amen. So he's gonna be on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". That's great. I was a little worried (okay, mortally terrified) for a moment, but then I thought, you know what? Lance is a smart kid, and he knows a lot of useless crap. LOL. I have faith in him. He'll do us proud. :-)

Last week my university's campus paper printed an issue that was a parody of teen mags. It was probably the best issue that's been out all year, no lie. It was hilarious... no group remained unscathed, and none of it was mean. Weeeee.... I had to print this up, because it seriously had me snorting loudly (okay, so I do that all the time. The point is, this was really funny).

Spheres Increases "assets" Teen Carillon has pix!
By Donna Plains, TEEN Carillon

Rumours have been flying about everyone's favourite pop diva! Yes, Britney Spheres is in the news again! She can't quite escape the demons of gossip that so often envelop her in their fragile, yet hurtful arms. Britney recently made an appearance at the Grammy awards, with considerably more girth on her bosom than before she went into the hospital with an acute case of "tonsilitis."

Sources close to the teen superstar say that she had to learn how to walk all over again after her "throat" operation, as she added some girth to her previously lackluster figure.

Britney herself professes no knowledge of her alleged "boob-job."

"I like, had a growth spurt?"

Britney's alleged boyfriend Justin Timberlake of *NSYNC disagrees.

"Yeah, make sure you put alleged EX-boyfriend. I want everyone to know that we are definitely NOT an item anymore. I've talked to some doctors, they said that a 'growth spurt' like that could conceivably happen overnight, if one paid enough. I guess a girl might accidentally 'fall' onto the surgery table while a plastic surgeon was, say, practicing his boob-job skills," says Timberlake sarcastically. "All I'm sayin' is, I touched em', and they ain't real. I'd say they were silicone based, although they could be saline."

It also seems that Britney's competitors want in on the boob action. Christina Aguilera for one, has been seen wearing a C-Cup at her concerts. Several male teen-agers who were in attendance judged it to be a C-Cup.

"I'd say at least a C, but it coulda' been a D," said one teen, gesturing with his hands.

"Totally man! She's almost as hot as Britney!" said another.

Teen sensations Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore may soon follow suit in the bustline area.
