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,

the cost of nsync's memorabilia today

Posts like these are going to make us all become hoarders. You never know how much something is going to be worth in ten or twenty years, so we should obviously hold on to it all.

Today, we see how much NSYNC fandom can be purchased for.

You KNOW these hats were the bomb diggity... but everyone knows they're not cool anymore. They're only worth $39. [Okay, way more expensive than it should be.]

Why didn't I have these Barbies?! Now they're gonna cost me $40.

This is just a tshirt with a picture of the hotties... for $75.

But these t-shirts were for crew only... until now... if you have $99.

An NSYNC afghan?! Y'all.... we need this forever. $99 is so worth it.

An AUTOGRAPHED album! For a steep $375.

OMG A SHIRT THAT TOUCHED THE SKIN OF JC CHASEZ! $475, yo.

These are mostly creepy, but they're life-size face molds to make the masks in the "It's Gonna Be Me" video." And now they're worth $995.

I need to start bringing relevant pieces to get signed by artists... because this here magazine cover is going for 1700 freaking dollars.

I don't know if I'm upset cuz I could be rich if I owned these things and sold them, or if I just really want them in my possession. Either way... *sigh.* I miss you, boys.

watch: nsync does a cover of "that thing you do"

Either my memory has gone to sh!t or I never knew they did this [I'm going to proudly say it's a memory issue since I'd hate to have missed out on this for my whole life 'til now], but way back in the day... NSYNC did a cover of "That Thing You Do!" while on tour.

Fun fact: That Thing You Do is my favorite movie OF ALL TIME. Like easily, hands down.

I think I had a little girl orgasm while watching this just now.



OMG HOW CUTE ARE THEY?! And like, how great?! And OMG GET BACK IN MY LIFE @(#*&$@#!!!!

To the boy bands of today: This is how you be awesome and relevant. Step it up, yo.

watch: justin timberlake, ryan gosling, and jc chasez sing "cry for you"

In case you've been all MIA or something, every night at 7:00 I play an old school song and accompany it with some fascinating info from the 90s.

Today's share: This video of JT, JC, and RGos [AKA the Mickey Mouse Club] singing a song about crying for you.


Goodness there are so many things wrong with this video, which I guess makes it so right.

• Those OUTFITS! They look like a 60 year old gospel group or something. 
• They're singing about crying for me. I didn't listen to all the lyrics, but if any dude cries for me, I normally don't find it that hott.
• Ryan Gosling's singing voice. I'm glad you discovered more acting, boo. 
• The token black guy. At first I thought it was perfect and that more boy bands should have jumped on that idea, but I was lying to myself. He's on a different level than the whiteys. 
• And of course, Justin's hair... but we've been over that. 

I wonder if they could bring back a Mickey Mouse Club and make it work nowadays like some other 90s stuff....

....who am I kidding. All of Disney Channel's shows are individual MMC's.

the american music awards: then and now

The American Music Awards last night spent some time reminiscing on "the good ol' days" throughout the show, but now it's time to see more. I wanted to compare last night's sights with those of the past.

Boy band performances... NSYNC in 2000 vs. The Wanted in 2012

Dirrty Christina in 2003 vs. last night

Cyndi Lauper in 1985 and 2012

Gloria Estefan rockin the stage in 1988, and the carpet in 2012.

Rappers on the red carpet... Snoop Dogg in 1998 and Luda returning in 2012

Jenny McCarthy co-hosted the show in 2003! And molested Justin Bieber last night.

In 1992, Boys II Men won the R&B/Soul award... while Usher [drunkenly] accepted it last night.

In 2003, Pink took the stage with an acoustic version of "Trouble..."

And last night she killed it with her "Try" performance...

And just for fun, here's what Britney Spears looked like in 2003, just two years after rocking that denim look with Justin Timberlake.

Last night's show was pretty good, I'm not going to act like I hated it. I was a tweeting machine most of the night, so you can see how I felt about it there... 

Yay awards season! Judging people is fun.

an ode to now cd's: 20 reasons why they're da bomb

SAY IT AIN'T SO! Rumor has it NOW CD's could be coming to an end after nearly 30 awesome years.

I feel like their credibility or coolness has faded over the years, but I'm here to remind you how awesome they really were, especially the first 20.

Here are 20[+] reasons/proof with their corresponding editions of the United States' "NOW That's What I Call Music!" CD.

1. An angry song that anyone can like.
   
2. Taught us we might dance the funky chicken on our 75th wedding anniversary, but we shouldn't congratulate ourselves too much.
   
3. Doing it all for the Nookie= A-OK.
   
4. Macy Gray and all her raspiness.
   
5. Don't let your memory of soulDecision be Faded.
   
6. All Around the World, it as all Yellow.
   
7. Hataz gon' hate.
   
8. Mandy Moore is in fact crush-worthy.
   
9. One name: Ja Rule.
   
10. Takin it old school and shakin' it like that.
    
11. Jennifer Love Hewitt was a singer.
    
12. Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez, though separate, both on one album. [Eh hum. Pretty sure this proves NSYNC rules. If not, see the end of this post.]
    
    
    
13. We know we can be what we wanna be.
    
14. The CD's are just... like WO.
    
15. The first F-you break up song.
    
16. And then there was Petey Pablo.
    
17. and the debut of Ashlee Simpson.
    
18. There was always a little country music mixed in.
    
19. They got you Feelin Good.
    
20. The debut of Rihanna Must Be Nice, and I think I'd Lose Control if I'd only pick one song from this edition that Phunk'd With My Heart.
    

And if that isn't enough to remember its awesomeness, you should know that NINE BACK TO BACK CD's had Justin Timberlake music... whether it was NSYNC or solo. That's just beautiful... and proof he needs to get his ass back in the studio.

celebrities' ads and babes in 90s magazines

Buzzfeed had two great posts lately, so I'm combining them to give you the full effect of a 90s magazine. They picked out some of the babes and some celebrities' endorsements.

Here's another blast from the past: [If you really wanna read it like a magazine, click on the first picture, and the gallery should pop up bigger!]

Remember Fergie in Wild Orchid?! and what the f ever happened to Barry Watson?! Plus: I SPY JESSE EISENBERG!

Great days, they were... back when Leo DiCaprio ruled the world, everyone was talking about Usher being the next R Kelly, Herbal Essences was pretty plain, and Polaroids were still a pretty cool thing to have.

BRING EM BACK.

watch eb irl: improv dirty pop'n

It's time for an EB IRL moment.

In high school, when Michael Jackson was going to trial for all the child molestation stuff, my friend Ashley brought a boombox to school and played MJ throughout the halls all day long [and totally got in trouble for it].

After lunch one day, we set that sucker up on the stairs outside the cafeteria, and put on this elaborate performance to "Beat It," full of synchronized improv dancing, flips, and singing. A crowd gathered, and had such a thing been cool on YouTube back then, we woulda been famous.

For my Birthday, we had a small crowd, but we still wanted to put on a funny show for the fraynds. Here's a clip of us Dirty Pop'n!



I know I'm a crazy ADD bia, you don't gotta tell me twice! This is my definition of fun! And yes, it continued afterward.

listen: britney/nsync mash-up

Tweet If you're like me, you've been praying for Britney/JT to just get back together. Or at the very least, NSYNC get back together, and go on tour with Britney. IS IT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!

Unfortunately, I think this is about as close as we're going to get, but it's still epic.

DJ Magic Baron put together this It's Gonna Be Me/Hold It Against Me mash-up and I've already listened to it a good 10 times.



Day= made. Dreams= still need to come true.

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
