*NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees Have Reunited For the Zombie Apocalypse
No, it is not a plague or a virus or a government conspiracy that will bring about the zombie apocalypse. Instead, the harbinger of our imminent, flesh-eating doom will be *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone in chaps and a hipster ‘stache, screaming that the zombies are everywhere, and he’s low on his whiskey.

Backstreet Boys Wear Hats, Hug Each Other In New Documentary Trailer
"20 years is a long time, for anybody. Let alone a buncha dorks jumping around on stage, singing and dancing," A.J. McLean remarks near the end of the trailer for Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of, a few plumes of (weed?) smoke escaping from the corners of his mouth. Okay, this looks good.
Nick Carter, Jordan Knight Rehash Pop Highs With New Cheesy Lyrics
Today in Why Is This A Thing, Jordan Knight and Nick Carter have a duet album called Nick and Knight, out on Tuesday. Your head will also probably explode once this thing hits store shelves because that’s what happens when Boy Band members from two different generations clash in the name of self promotion.

Only Some Backstreet Boys Get to Go Shirtless in Their New Music Video
As of this week, there's a rift in the Backstreet Boys. Where once they were (re)united in their goal to sell albums entirely from the mom population of America, things have changed. A.J. and Brian are on one shirtless side and Howie, Kevin and Nick are on the other very shirted side. What could have caused this rift?
The New Backstreet Boys Song is Zzzzzz
The Backstreet Boys have released their first single since Kevin Richardson got his shit together and joined back up with the band. It's titled "In A World Like This", the same as their new album. And it is not good.
Half-Man Angus T. Jones Is Not Returning to Two and a Half Men
It's true, nothing gold can stay, and by "gold" I mean "Two and a Half Men, the worst CBS show you're not watching." While Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer have resigned their contracts for a third season (Kutcher at a $700,000-per-episode payout; Cryer at, I don't know, a gum wrapper and a damp Nickelback ticket stub?), …
Gwyneth Paltrow Tsk-Tsked for Shilling Kiddie Bikinis
The British anti-child abuse advocacy group Kidscape is pissed off that Gwyneth Paltrow hawks bikinis for four to eight year-olds in her latest GOOP newsletter. She captioned images of the swimwear, a collaboration with designer Melissa Odabash and exact replica of adult bikinis sold on the site, that it's "great for…
The Backstreet Boys Documentary Will Be Either Awesome or Terrible, Probably Both
"Howie! Psst, Howie," Brian whispered into the darkness. The sun would be rising soon and he still hadn't slept a wink. When Howie didn't answer, Brian jabbed at the mattress springs of the bunk bed above him.
Cruel Temptress A.J. McLean Says There's Always a Place for Ryan Gosling in the Backstreet Boys
I don't even know how to BEGIN to feel about this. A.J. McLean (a.k.a. Fedora Patient Zero) says that Ryan Gosling could have been a Backstreet Boy—he was definitely secks-yoooo-uhhhlllll enough—but it didn't happen because McLean didn't have Gosling's phone number. However, in 2013, he's willing to give baby-goose a…
Backstreet's Back and Hawking Jeans for Old Navy
Old Navy is continuing its marketing campaign down '90s memory lane (though they are skirting the oughts here), this time bringing in everyone's second favorite Lou Pearlman project the Backstreet Boys to help move their new, extra stretchy (ugh) skinny jeans line. According to the commercial, the boys of the…

Mariah Carey Wins American Idol Diva Musical Chairs
You have doubtlessly shed a bitter tear over professional fishmouth Steven Tyler's departure from his post as an American Idol judge. Said Tyler in what could loosely be called a statement: "After some long…hard…thoughts…I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my…
Syrian Rebel Fighter Performs Impromptu Backstreet Boys Concert
Not to make light of a terrible situation, but...this dude (somewhere between an A.J. and a Howie) makes the uprising in Syria look like KISS 106.1 FM Summer Jam '97. As an opening act, he recites some stately free verse about the threat of President Bashar al-Assad military forces:
The Surreal Reality That Is The NKOTBSB Project
A strange feeling may form inside you as you watch this clip about the portmanteau-named manband NKOTBSB. The whole "in the studio with the former teen idols" angle feels like a fake Behind The Music skit from Saturday Night Live. And haven't we reached a place where the words "kids" and "boys" no longer apply? And…
Maybe Third Time's a Charm for Spencer and Heidi
