A.J. McLean checks into rehab

Confession time!  When I was just a little Bri, (I'm gonna say 10-years-old...) I used to go into Backstreet Boys chatrooms on the internet (WHICH WAS BRAND NEW... to my household at least) and my username was "AJsGirl".  Seriously.  I tried to convince everybody A.J. McLean was my boyfriend.  I may have even convinced myself.

[I'm not fucking proud of it!]

Shortly after, *NSYNC and Justin Timberlake came along and my priorities shifted...



But it still hurts my heart to this day to know my ex is still struggling with his addictions.  TMZ reports A.J. McLean has checked back into rehab for alcohol and cocaine abuse.  Yes this is his third time.  But to be fair, he hasn't been there since 2002!  And that was before it was "cool" (it still isn't).



Apparently the Backstreet Boys member has been "out of control" for the last few months and has been openly drinking on their BSB cruises.  Yes, they have those.  Seriously, anyone who makes fun of these guys needs to shut the hell up because they are STILL cashing in on hilarious shit like that.  Another example of their continuing success is their upcoming joint-tour with New Kids On The Block (you shut your mouth about them too!) which was threatened because of A.J.'s setbacks...  NOOO!!



But he promises it won't fuck up NKOTBSB's plans!  Thank G...



In a statement the singer says, “For personal reasons, I’ve checked myself into a rehab clinic. With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform & sing for people at my very best and happiest. None of this will affect our current tour plans and I look forward to seeing everyone really soon! Thank you for all of your support and respecting my family and friends privacy during this time.”

I know a lot of people who are hoping this works out... because without A.J., BSB would be...

NKOTBSB perform at the AMA's

Nah, the American Music Awards weren't anything special last night.  Some people won awards (mostly Justin Bieber) and a lot of American "singers" performed out of tune.



But all of it was leading up to the moment when two boy bands (now man bands) from the 90's had a sing-off/dance battle on the stage!  And they don't even give a fuck that it's 2010!



Here are the Backstreet Boys singing New Kids on the Block songs, and New Kids on the Block singing Backstreet Boys songs.  Together!  And the best part is when they go, "All you people can't you see can't you see NKOTBSB!"  YEAAAH!  This shit is Larger Than LIFE.







It brings a tear to my eye, really, that this is happening... Don't act like you're not stoked!!

BSB/NKOTB tour is happening

Prepare to freak the fuck out!  Back in the summer, there were rumors of a New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys joint tour in the near future, and now it has been confirmed.

Ryan Seacrest, who probably longed to be in one of those bands back in the day, officially announced the concert tour on his radio show On-Air today.  Thousands of car accidents happened simultaneously as a result.  What are you supposed to do when you hear news like that??  Stay on the road?  Not rear end the car in front of you?  Well that's a lot to ask of older ladies who need to cross their legs so they don't pee from excitement...



Also, BSB will be appearing on Oprah tomorrow (Nov.4), and alongside NKOTB for a performance on the American Music Awards on November 21st.  Don't act like you're not setting your PVR right now...
