An 'N Sync Whirlwind
It seems that Jesse Camp, former MTV VJ turned recording artist, made an appearance at the recent May 14 Ice Palace, show in Tampa and was such the hit among the twenty-some thousand fans screaming and chanting his name that they could not start the show until Jesse was persuaded to leave the stage.  Meanwhile, the pay-per-view concert scheduled to wrap up 'N Sync's spring tour on May 16 was pushed back to July 2 in Ft. Lauderdale.  Having appeared at the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, the guys are currently doing some radio concerts after which they are off to the U.K., where 'N Sync has just exploded in the pop market, for some much needed promo abroad.  The boys will then head back across the pond to the states where they will spend a month of recording time for the October release.  July 7, the Boys of Summer will head out from Virginia Beach and tour the U.S. over the course of the summer, ending up their run up in Canada.  Then there will be the Gloria Estefan collaboration, the theme for the movie The Music of My Heart with Estefan, Meryl Streep, Angela Basset, and Aidan Quinn, to be released in August.  The film, in which Streep plays an inner-city music teacher, was interestingly enough originally entitled 50 Violins and was to star Madonna.

'N The Charts
This week on Billboard, Alabama's version of God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You featuring 'N Sync enters the top 50 on the singles chart at #49 after two weeks on the chart, jumping up 21 spots from a #70 debut. Meanwhile 'N Sync's six-time platinum debut album holds strong at #16, dropping from the #13 position, after 61 weeks on the charts.

Takes Your Breath Away
The Fifth Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, which was taped on May 25 at the historic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, featured a show-stopping rendition of Sailing by 'N Sync and Christopher Cross, the song's originator.  While the coupling may not have been as shocking as that of Sting and Puffy, 'N Sync had a few tricks up their sleeves.  As Cross strummed along on the guitar, the five members of 'N Sync were lifted above the stage and sailed through the air in Ain't No Stoppin' Us fashion. 'N Sync won the award for Favorite New Group during the ceremony. The two-hour awards show is to be televised on June 16 on the FOX network.

'N Sync Private Screening of Star Wars

Because the guys are on tour, they couldn't make it out to Skywalker Ranch to for the special MTV screening of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. So, before the rest of the world got to see it, they got their own private screening of the newest installment of the Star Wars saga in Orlando thanks to George Lucas.  What did the guys think?

"It was unbelieveable...if you don't see this movie at least 20 times, you're out of your mind," was the endorsement from an ecstatic JC (who's still sportiong a goatee, by the way).  A seemingly recovered Lance added, "It is definitely the #1 movie of all time be far..until the second one comes out."  And what were Chris, Joey and Justin doing?  Playing with their light sabres, of course!  Chris was "training them to be Jedi...and they're not very good!"

'N Sync Headlines...
Good News about Lance
Chris announced on the radio 106.7 in Orlando that Lance was released from the hospital and was told to get some bed rest for awhile. He is said to be recuperating with his family resting at an undisclosed location.  In light of these developments, there is growing concern in the 'N Sync community that the guys are being worked too hard by their management.  If you want your voice to be heard, contact Trans Continental Entertainment, Inc. at http://www.t-con.com/contact.html and/or Wright Entertainment Group at (407) 826-9100.

More on the Pay-Per-View Special...
According to Yahoo news, the May 17th pay-per-view taping has been postponed until July 2.  Both MTV and Chris confirm that it will tentatively air in September.

'N Sync Honors Johnny Wright
Four members of the super hot pop group 'N Sync paid tribute to their manager Johnny Wright at Planet Hollywood Orlando on Thursday. Chris Kirkpatrick hailed Wright "a father, a big brother and a mentor all rolled into one." Joey Fatone added that "you can talk to Johnny about anything -- the business, buying a car, even girls." Lance Bass was too ill to join his fellow 'N Sync'ers and other musicians honoring the Orlando based founder of Wright Entertainment and Wright International records. Several of the eight acts that Wright manages, including Britney Spears, sent a taped tribute. "Those of you who know me know I am not often at a loss for words," said Wright as his proud parents looked on.

Dispelling the rumors...
Despite floating rumors that Justin is on cloud nine in 7th Heaven...
Justin is not dating Jessica Beal.  Rumor has it that when 'N Sync was on Lesley Ramos, a Canadian Talk show, Justin Timberlake supposedly denied rumors that he and Britney Spears are going out, but did say he had a sweetheart. When asked who it was, he said that she stars on the show 7th Heaven.  According to one of CNW's Canadian correspondents, the show doesn't even exist.  Furthermore, 'N Sync hasn't even been in that country in recent history and will not return until the last leg of their summer tour.

No, Lance has not gotten a heart transplant.
Fans tend to blow things out of proportion easily.  True, Lance spent a few days in the hospital for observation, but he was not on his deathbed or getting emergency surgery to save his life.  It was a case of stomach flu coupled with exhaustion from a grueling work schedule.  Above all, Lance is not being replaced!  So if you're concerned, contact their management.  Don't start writing eulogies and sending funeral flowers.

Double the Flavor, Double the Fun...
CNW has heard through the grapevine that 'N Sync's sophomore release might be a double CD album with up to 30 songs.  This has not been confirmed, so don't get too excited just yet.  A rumored release date for the album is October 29.

More on Alabama Collaboration...
MTV recently caught up with the guys, and this is what they had to say:

"I actually wish we could get a track for it and just do it at our shows because I'm getting bored with doing our version… I'm just kidding," the group's Justin joked with MTV News.

"Actually, one of the guys in our group, Lance, when we first recorded the song, he's a big country fan, he said this song would be great," Chris said.

"Yeah, this song would be a great country song," Justin added. "That's what he said and when we recorded it and the irony of them calling us. It's funny."

[May 15, 1999]


Update on Lance's condition...
CNW recieved word that Lance is still in the hospital, and his doctors will be keeping him there or another day or two for observation. It looks like he's going to be okay.

[May 14, 1999]
Lance Hospitalized
Yesterday CNW recieved these words...
If any of you attended the MGM taping of Summer Jams or saw the Rosie O'Donnel appearance, you may have noticed Lance wasn't looking like he was feeling well. Well this afternoon, he missed the pre-show meet-n-greet for the Orlando show because he was at the doctor's office being checked out. He was feeling really sick all morning. The doctor not only prohibited him from playing tonight's Orlando show, but he has also kept him in the hospital overnight for observation. This came straight from Chris and Joey. He's expected to be released tomorrow, but Chris has asked anyone concerned to please place Lance in your prayers for a speedy recovery.

Today from KIIS...
Word from KIIS FM here in Los Angeles today is that Lance got a stomach virus, leading him to miss last night's show as well as tonight's show at the Ice Palace.

Word about Lance from Dax's Mom
Hi everyone,

Most of you have probably heard that Lance was hospitalized yesterday with the flu and dehydration...I'm thinking exhaustion has to be a big factor too.

He's supposed to be released today. Please keep him in your prayers...I know his family would appreciate that very much. Fortunately, his mom and dad were in town yesterday for the concert, so he has family with him. This grueling tour schedule is hard on everyone's health. The Disney taping on Wednesday, right after the Rosie taping, was very hard on everyone because they were out in the sun for hours...even Dax came home that night feeling sick from the all day session at Disney. The conditons were not good there, and there were a lot of technical problems that turned a two-hour shoot into an all day event. I'm actually surprised no one else has collapsed from the nonstop touring, constant interviews, promo events, Meet 'n Greets...and now these "after parties."

From my perspective (yes, you can tell I'm a mom!)...the last thing these guys need to do is make appearances after a full day of being "on" in public. When do they ever have time to recharge? If the guys want to party after a concert, that's their choice...but these organized, profit making "parties" that require their attendance cannot be in their best interests. The way I figure it, there's still at least six hours a day that the guys can be doing something more for management or their record label...wonder what they'll come up with next? Maybe this hospitalization of Lance will open some eyes around these guys. I sure hope so.

During the show last night, the crew made sure that Lance's props were always out on stage...his microphone stand, stool, etc. It was very touching. Dax said he thinks this is the first show the guys have done with only four of them...he knows it is since the band has been with them (which has been for the last two years). Last night Dax replaced Lance on keyboard during "That Thing You Do," which was appropriate since he taught Lance the keyboard part for that song.

We had a really nice time at the concert, and you could sure tell the guys were glad to be home. Joey even kissed the floor of the stage! We enjoyed seeing the show again...it will be the last one for us for awhile.

The whole group ('N Sync, band & crew) needs to be commended for always striving to put on the best show possible under all kinds of conditions. They are all pros!

'N Sync's new flavor...?
Killjoy music critics take on 'N Sync, charging that the records the group makes are kinda bland, and it seems that the group itself may have gotten wind of this because lately it seems that they have been trying to spice things up a bit.  As CNW has reported, not long ago, for example, they got together with long-reigning Latina pop queen Gloria Estefan on a track entitled Music of My Heart, produced by Canadian David Foster, for the soundtrack of an upcoming movie Face the Music, in which Estefan will appear along with Meryl Streep and Angela Basset.  Then there's the country side of 'N Sync, as the group recently commited to recording backup vocals for a Nashville version of their God Must Have Spent A Little More Time on You with legendary country pop band Alabama, a group that has scored 42 number one hits on the Billboard country charts.  Can this be the beginning of a new kind of fusion?  Well, probably not but this is what Chris and Justin had to say about it:

Chris: Kinda sounds Hanna-Barbara-ish, like the cartoon fad of the next millenium.
Justin: Syncabama.
Chris: And there are gonna be little cartoons of Alabama and 'N Sync running around on tour and there's gonna be this...
Justin: (sarcastically) Bluegrass R&B...pop (laughter)
Chris: And we're gonna be pioneers in this field because no one's ever mixed this music and had such a great outcome
Justin: Right...we don't have an outcome yet (laughter)
Chris: Yeah right but let's pretend...


Alabama's version of God Must Have Spent... with 'N Sync piping along can be found on Alabama's new album Twentieth Century due out next month, which will be when 'N Sync will be working on their record for release in October.

The End of An Era
Shock, disbelief, anger.  Sadly, this afternoon 'N Sync fell from the #1 position after a 27-day, 5-week reign over the top spot on MTV's Total Request Live.  So how are we gonna cope?  Y'all gotta pick up those jaws off of the ground and get out there and vote as many times as possible.  We can't let this happen!
Vote Drive Myself on TRL!
On a happier note, Timbaland and Missy Elliot we at the MTV studios today premiering Missy's new video, and Timbaland expressed a love for Drive Myself, saying that he liked the melody of the beginning of the verse.  What's that you say?  Acceptance from somewhere outside of the pop world?  
Even non-BSB fans are aware of Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough's project with rap diva Foxy Brown.  Is it possible that the R&B world can embrace this new pop craze?  (Or am I just a crazed lunatic?)

'N Sync Gets All Wet at Autograph Signing
From a Launch.net article:

(5/7/99, 4 p.m. PDT) - The 150 security officers employed by the 4.2 million-square-foot Mall Of America in Bloomington, Minn. had their hands full Thursday (May 6), as a well-attended instore appearance by 'N Sync was rained on by some water balloon-throwing pranksters. By 8 a.m. Thursday, a line consisting mostly of teenage girls stretched hundreds of yards down the hallways of the mall. According to local television reports, by noon 20,000 people stood in the line waiting for the pop sensations to arrive. The vocal-harmony group was not scheduled to appear until 1:30 p.m., but the fans clutching CDs, posters, and other memorabilia waited impatiently to see their favorite multiplatinum recording sensations. The group arrived as scheduled and started signing autographs at the event, which was sponsored by retailer Sam Goody. But about an hour into the mall appearance, things went sour. Marcia Appel, senior VP of Musicland, says that the group had been onstage for a little more than an hour when the trouble started. "A water balloon came directly from above, and hit the table on which they were signing with a considerable force," she says. "The security agents and the band's management had warned the crowd repeatedly throughout the day that any incidents of roughhousing would result in the band leaving the stage, for their safety and for everyone's safety." The balloon was estimated to have fallen from four or five levels up. Due to safety concerns, the group's management and security decided that 'N Sync should leave the mall shortly after the incident. There was no word of any suspect apprehended at press time.

Backstreet's Year From Hell...
An 'N Sync fan today on TRL said that "both Backstreet and Britney Spears may be popular now, but 'N Sync's got the talent...that Backstreet's on the decline...that their 'expiration date' is nearing."  Now Backstreet fans may not be too happy to hear those words, but the Boys themselves must know what this means for them.  Rolling Stone has done a feature on Backstreet's "year from hell".  Here's what Kevin Richardson had to say about the rapid success of former labelmates 'N Sync:

Feeling hosed, the band began to falter a bit in performance, while the competition in the pop market heated up. The Boys' five jaws dropped when, in a surreal turn of events, they discovered that 'N Sync, their main competition (at 6 million records and counting), were managed by none other than . . . Lou Pearlman. "That hurt our feelings," says Richardson. "Because for a while it was like, 'We're a family.' Then all of a sudden, 'It's business, guys, sorry.' We have nothing against . . . that group, personally. It was [Pearlman's] not being honest."

Well boys, no matter how bitter you may be right now, you have to face the fact that "that group" is here, and they're here to stay.  So you can run [off to another record labe
l] but you can't hide cuz ain't no stoppin' 'N Sync now !

'N Sync Aids in Columbine Tragedy
Amidst their hectic touring schedule, the guys made it a point last Friday in Colorado to spend some time with the students of Columbine High. "We're going on our own to talk to a lot of kids --the victims in hospitals-- and just have a big question-and-answer period," said Lance. "We're going to try to counsel the kids that lived through this." Bass said the group met with professional counselors to prepare for their session with the students. "I think we have such a great thing right now, being their age," Bass said. "I think they can relate a lot better to us than a lot of adult counselors." He said the shootings have "really scared" young people around the country. "We try to comfort them. The biggest thing we can do is talk about it."

Album Update...
Lance also revealed that 'N Sync has already recorded 30 songs for its sophomore album.  Of these and the other songs to be recorded in the group's interlude between tours, a baker's dozen or so will be carefully selected for the tentative release date in October of this year. Other 'N Sync projects in the works include their own PlayStation game, and of course that 'N Sync movie expected in theaters sometime in the year 2000.

'N Sync Goes Postal
The 'N Sync stamps, which sent on sale Monday and which cost one Caribbean dollar, can only be mailed from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, but a website has been set up for the purchase of these souvenir items abroad. For more information, visit www.nsyncstamps.com. The island nations are among the few countries that allow living icons to appear on their stamps, and they have commemorated various entertainers in the past for their contributions to society. The Postmaster of St. Vincent said she chose 'N Sync because the band "represented the best of what art and entertainment can present to young people, as they are positive role models with a positive message."

Happy Birthday, dawg!  Lance hits the big 2-0 this year and he's one step closer to booze-drinking age.  Don't go too wild there, big guy.  He was born on this day, May 4, back in 1979...ooh way back the 70s, when the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth. Hmmm...wonder what he's thinking in this pic?  Have anything to do with Danielle?  Kinda lonely out there all the way in Moline, IL today? j/p

'N Sync Takes Home Big Orange Blimp
Congrats go out to the guys of 'N Sync for taking home the award for Favorite Group of the year at the annual Kid's Choice Awards sponsored by the kids cable station Nickelodeon.  The guys also performed Tearin' Up My Heart, Here We Go, and I Want You Back for the thousands of cheering kids along with TLC and Britney Spears.  Backstreet boy Howie D. seems to be a little overzealous these days, accepting BSB's Favorite Song award for Everybody by thanking the fans for voting them favorite group of the year...

Teen People's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21
'N Sync's Lance Bass and Justin Timberlake have been named among the Teen world's top 21 hottest stars under 21. They join the company of such talent as Brandy, Monica, Joshua Jackson, Nick Carter, Britney Spears, Aaliyah, and LeAnne Rimes. Lance and Justin join Aaliyah in their photo shoot for the Teen People special. A Teen People exec says of the young stars, "None of these kids are gonna be one-hit wonders, a flash in the pan. These kids are in it for the long run." Pick up the issue in your local newsstands.

Britney Confronts Rumors...
In her cover story for Entertainment Tonight this past weekend, Britney Spears told ET the rumors that Justin Timberlake and herself are an item are false.  She commented that both she and Justin are too busy and that she has no time for a boyfriend.  Yeah I know, that's JC in the pic, but close enough alright?  Nuff said.  On a sleasy sidenote, she declined to comment on the allegations that she has recently undergone physical augmentation surgery, to put it delicately.
Britney and Justin Rumors Denied...JC's chance!

TRL...shouldn't they change the name to TNR by now?
Total 'N Sync Request might be a more suitable name for the MTV daily countdown hour as 'N Sync held the top spot for the entire week of April from the second say of Drive Myself's release until the present.  Their #1 position on the 31st won them the distinction of not only the only video to ever spend an entire month at the #1 position but also the record for the top number of actual days at #1, breaking the previous record held by BSB and I'll Never Break Your Heart by more than twice.

Things are going great for the guys, but remember to keep on voting and supporting Drive Myself, as competition is likely to heat up with May sweeps bringing on new releases from BSB with I Want It That Way which premieres Wednesday, Britney with Sometimes premiering Thursday, and the track from the Star Wars prequel that premiered Monday. Vote for 'N Sync here.
