| STANDING STRONG ONSTAGE & BACKSTAGE |
Approaching the House of Blues in Atlantic City, one would think there was a semi-formal event taking place. Young females clad in short skirts, tight tops and heels lined up outside. What threw most onlookers for a loop was the young men sporting Backstreet Boys t-shirts. Yes, surprisingly enoughit was the men showing the pride while the women strut their stuff in hopes to grab Howie, Brian, AJ or Nick’s attention.
With fifteen years behind them as a band, the Backstreet Boys’ fans are still hardcore. Not willing to lose her spot in line, one woman actually pulled her pants down and urinated right on the floor. Unfortunately for her, she was escorted out by security and missed one awesome show! [more]

| STARSHINE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW - AUGUST 15, 2008 |
Sandy (StarShine Magazine): I’m here today with the Backstreet Boys. How are you guys doing?
AJ McLean: We’re great.
Nick Carter: Great!
Howie Dorough: Good!
Brian Littrell: [sings] Yay! [laughs]
Sandy: [laughs] Thank you so much for speaking with me today.
AJ: You’re welcome.
Howie: Thank you.
Sandy: We’re going to start with the fan questions. We got thousands of e-mails, but we could only pick a couple because time is limited. We’re going to start with Brandy Rivera. She wants to know if you feel Unbreakable would have been different if Kevin had been on it and how do you guys feel about his absence?
AJ: I think it would have been a little bit different, especially as far as the recording process, the writing process. We kind of went in with a completely open mind and just went in, wrote, and spent almost a month and a half in Nashville alone. We kind of locked ourselves in the studio and had two different rooms going with recording and writing. I don’t know. I think it definitely would have went a little bit different. I think Kevin’s opinion of certain music, certain sounds and certain types of production might have been different. He has a certain sound he likes. I think when the four of us went in, we just went in, like I said, with an open mind and said, hey if it’s a good song, let’s go ahead and do it. Then we also wrotewe wrote on how many together?
Brian: Four or five.
AJ: It was a different approach at making the record.
Brian: Well, we wrote on quite a few that didn’t even make the record.
AJ: Yeah, that’s true. [more]

| WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE BOYS! |
Hey it’s Nazzy, as you may or may not know, I had the opportunity to shave a listeners head bald for front row tickets to see the Backstreet Boys this past weekend at the Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavilion in Gilford, NH.
I was all set to do it; the winner was all set to do it; so it was finally “go time”! At the last possible second, she received a pardon from a very unlikely source. Brian Littrell, of the BSB’s, came running out from backstage just as I was about to cut into the winners locks. He grabbed the clippers out of my hand & told me not to do it!! He said, “No Backstreet Boys fans should have to shave their heads to sit in the front row!”
Who am I to say "no" to a Backstreet Boy! So Brian ripped the barbershop cloth off from around her neck & escorted her backstage for a personal meet & greet with the rest of the band.. (What a class act I have a new found respect for the boys now)
In the end, she was able to keep her hair & sit in the front row, thanks to a little help from the Backstreet Boys!! Thanks Brian…
Nazzy
PS - What a show!! After 15 years, the boys still got it!!

| STARSHINE MAGAZINE MUSIC CHOICE AWARDS NOMINEES |
Formerly known as the StarShine Readers’ Choice Awards, the 6th Annual now titled Music Choice Awards voting will take place on www.StarShineMag.com beginning September 1, 2008 and through October 6th.
With the most nominations this year, Hanson and Elliott Yamin lead the way with 7 a piece. Following close behind with 6 each are Backstreet Boys and another American Idol star, Blake Lewis. Other nominees include Real World star Brianna Taylor, Jordin Sparks, Danity Kane, Jesse McCartney, Ryan Cabrera, Menudo, Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and One Republic.
StarShine Magazine’s nominees were chosen by the staff based on not just success in the music industry, but also success in the magazine itself. “We don’t nominate artists StarShine hasn’t featured or interviewed,” says president, Sandy Lo. “Every artist nominated has appeared in StarShine Magazine in the past year and that’s an important rule to us. We don’t want to sellout just to draw in big names. It’s not fair to the smaller artists we enjoy promoting; artists other magazines may ignore to sell more copies by featuring only paparazzi-adored stars,” continued Sandy. “That’s not the kind of magazine StarShine is or ever will be.”
Past winners in StarShine Magazine have been Nick Lachey, Simple Plan, JoJo, Aaron Carter, Brian Littrell and the Backstreet Boys. This year, the Backstreet Boys will be honored by receiving the Shining Star Award, a lifetime achievement award in StarShine Magazine. In the past, the Shining Star Award had a different meaning. It was given to artists who were active humanitarians through charities. Throughout the seven years of StarShine’s existence, the Backstreet Boys have had an impact on its readers and staff. “It was only natural choosing the Backstreet Boys for the first recipients of this re-vamped award,” says Sandy Lo.
The Backstreet Boys are nominated in 7 categories:
Best Ballad: Inconsolable
Shining Star Award
Favorite Group/Band
Best Live Show
Song of the Year: Inconsolable
Album of the Year: Unbreakable
Artist of the Year

| BACKSTREET'S BACK |
Some pre-teens and teens lose their minds these days over the Jonas Brothers, but a decade ago, the Backstreet Boys caused the same frenzy.Singers Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson sold more than 75 million albums worldwide. Two of their CDs, “Backstreet Boys” in 1997 and “Millennium” in 1999, each sold more than 10 million copies.
Backstreet Boys, who last performed in Atlantic City in July 2005 at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, return to the resort to promote their sixth full-length studio CD, “Unbreakable,” which was released in October. The CD includes production by Grammy-winner John Shanks, who worked previously with Kelly Clarkson and Bon Jovi among others.
Carter, Dorough, Littrell and McLean took part in a telephone press conference with the media before their tour started. [more]

| MEADOWBROOK LANDS ONLY NE SHOW FOR BACKSTREET BOYS |
They once scaled music’s highest peaks.
And now the Backstreet Boys are back for another ascent.
A quick review:
* The “Boys,” Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean, have sold more than 75 million records worldwide. (Member Kevin Richardson amicably decided to exit the group in 2006.)
[...]
Now they are back, after an extended sabbatical from 2002 to 2005 for individual pursuits, focusing on what they do best: make music together. Their current sixth studio album, “Unbreakable,” follows “Never Gone,” their first studio album in nearly half a decade.
To a man or is that “boy?”- they seem to be excited about the new chapter in their career.
So too is Chris Lockwood, director of marketing at Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion, Gilford, where the band headlines 7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 16. “They are playing their only New England show here. That is going to be big,” Lockwood said. [more]
