jeff timmons told me an nsync reunion is in the works!

It may have been 13 years ago since 98 Degrees took their hiatus, but it's been three years since they reunited, and now they're going on their first headlining tour in over a decade.
Coming with them: O-Town, Ryan Cabrera, and DREAM.

Normally I hear about these shows, I geek out, I try to get tickets, and then I sit far away and still love every second. This time I realized I could contact Jeff Timmons myself and get him on the show. [PS the fact that I can do that will ALWAYS be INSANE to me!]

Of course we talked about the tour and the Dead 7 movie and other exciting stuff, but I also mentioned an NSYNC reunion, AND SOMETHING MAGIC HAPPENED, Y'ALL.



"It's in the works," he said. IT'S IN THE WORKS.
"....With Christina, Backstreet Boys.... what do you think about Brandy and Monica? Would you fly to Minneapolis for something like that?!"

Details may be unknown, but we do know for sure that he's at least WORKING ON ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING. So start saving your money now. I'm gonna invest in diapers and tissues for extra wetness.

I also delivered props for canceling shows in NC, despite fans being upset.



It's a good time to not live in North Carolina.

For more on Dead 7, the tour, and if he ever thought this is what he'd be doing 15 years ago, listen to the full chat below.



Thank you Jeff, for being awesome and funny and cooperative and getting me excited in more ways than one.

love,

interview: jeff timmons of 98 degrees and men of the strip

I had a major life moment today, y'all. I got to talk to Jeff from 98 Degrees. If you woulda told me back when I went to my first ever concert [which was theirs] that I'd one day talk to them, I woulda hit you or something for being ridiculous.

He's heading a new movie/show on E! that airs this Sunday.... all about the real life Magic Mike [and he says it's also part Sex In The City]. A group of hott guys, learning how to strip... hell yes you can count me in.

We talked about the Package Tour [when I saw them last year], how the guys on the show come from all different backgrounds including the NFL, WWE, and MMA... and how his wife and family think about this whole new career of his.



He was SO awesome to talk to! Normally I chop up my interviews pretty good, but I felt like it was a fun and casual conversation.

Jeff also said that a lot of the guys are using "Men of the Strip" as a platform to get into another career, and he's fully supportive of that. That's pretty freaking awesome.

Here are the clips I referenced in the interview:

I'm pretty pumped to watch Sunday night. Feel free to live tweet it with me [and Jeff]!

listen: 98 degrees' new song "microphone"

Y'all, get ready! 98 Degrees is back with a new single and they're all grown up and ready to talk about SEX!

Okay, they probably talked all about sex in the 90s too, but I was way too innocent to know such things. But like... this song... about "microphones," is a boy band version of Lollipop or Whistle. [It takes 12 seconds to start]


I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it's the best song ever because it's obviously not, but I DO like it! And I think it's better than most people/groups' comeback songs! Plus... it's dirty. Everyone likes a dirty song, even if it seems to be missing a couple lyrics.

Your thoughts?!

watch: 98 degrees reunites on the today show

OMGGGG THE DAY HAS COME! 98 Degrees reunited on The Today Show and it was even better than I imagined/hoped it would be!

They look just as hott [I really don't know that they aged much at all], sing almost just as well, and are still rockin' the same old moves.

OH!! And, Nick Lachey announced they'll probably be going on tour AND working in the studio on a new album! Hott damn, life is good right about now.

Here's everything you need to see:




Watch for the tongue woman at 1:50 in that one.



Goodness. I was seriously smiling the entire time. THEY looked like they were having so much fun, and I have missed Nick Lachey's voice WAY too much. [I totally still remember every word of every song of his SOLO albums!]

Fans of the "new school" boy bands... THIS is a real boy band. Silly choreography, matching outfits, one ugly duckling among extreme hotties. Yummalicious.

Welcome back, men!

watch my first parody: 98 degrees "this gift"

Tweet I've been coming up with parody ideas for a LONG time. I'll admit: They're not my strong suit, but I was pretty excited for this one.

After a TON of obstacles to work through, I finally got to film this video.

Normally the song is all about an upcoming proposal, but we decided to show the stereotypical men/women. It may be a bit much, and definitely more awkward than any other Christmas music video, but that's why it's great.

All I'll say is: The kicker is at the end... So stay tuned.



Teeheehee.

I gotta give HUGE credit to my singers that really came through for me [cuz OBVIOUSLY I can't sing]: Sam Houston and Brittany Durapau! They're the bomb diggity.

And thanks to my last minute co-star Jason!

Feel free to tell me it sucks, but if you didn't laugh or feel awkward at least once, you're lame.

Happy Holidays and merry gift exchanging! ;)

love,
elizabethany

PS: Make sure you catch all the Slutty Cat cameos on the video. She was being a camera whore, and I realized I had to just embrace it.

flashback: the most ridiculous pictures of boy bands

Tweet For my 90s Dance Party hour on Candy 95 today, I did a boy band theme and it absolutely made my day. Apparently it made a lot of other days, too. A TON of people texted in thanking me for turning their day around.

Truth is- The 90s boy bands were amazing and impossible to duplicate. No group will ever be able to do what they all did, especially the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. They're classic.

Also classic: The pictures each boy band took for their albums, magazine shoots, whatever it was they were shooting for. Seriously. Take a look down boy band memory lane:

Backstreet Boys

Looking through the top of your sunglasses=badass, duh.

I mean... Why NOT take a picture all dressed up at a urinal?!

This is Halloween......... right??!...
The cutest little Santas you'll ever see

They say a girl loves a man who loves his stuffed animals...

The diversity here is epic! Different jerseys! Do I spy Texas A&M on Brian?!

On, Nick... You're such a devil with that tight belly shirt.

Showing the boxers elastic+Nick's hair+backwards hat+open shirts=sexiest thing EVER

"AJ... I want you to thrust your junk into my ear a little more. Yeah, there ya go." -Nick

So delicate.

NSYNC

All black, no smiles, a little bit of pleather and see-through sunglasses= SO hard.

Having a sleepover and canoodling with 4 other dudes= not hard.

Them jerry curls are beautiful, Justin. And Lance- we knew you were gay at the first site of this picture.

Well if this doesn't scream amateur photography, I don't know what does... And Lance, you're beautiful.

Dear Justin- YOU'RE SO FREAKING COOL! ALL BOYS WANNA BE LIKE YOU...........

Let's all curl up in an American flag and have Justin bend over in front of us.

It's like Dave Chapelle+Ke$ha+the Titanic...

If there was a poster to represent 90s style, this picture would be involved.

Please, Justin... Hold my head. And remember, everyone- frosted tips= the key to success.


and 98 Degrees

Turtlenecks turn me on

They rocked the all red suit DECADES before Kanye.

Please, PLEASE perform at my bachelorette party, boys.

There's that black pleather and hard look again.

HURRY! Let's drown the ugly member of the group!

Ahhh, the good ol' days. Feels good to reminisce, doesn't it?! I heart the 90s. Thank you, boy bands, for being the heart and soul of my life... right there with pop princesses.

love,
elizabethany
