Here and There #2

    Backstreet Boys and New Kids just hit the stage last night at the AMA's and let me tell you that they did not disappoint because they have been getting lots of great reviews. I never liked new kids because they started early and I never grew up with them. Here are just some of the articles that are giving those guys some great reviews.

US MAGAZINE

Dubbing themselves "NKOTBSB," the '90s crooners -- including NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg, 41, Danny Wood, 41, Joey McIntyre, 37, Jordan Knight, 40, Jonathan Knight, 41, and BSB's Brian Littrell, 35, Nick Carter, 30, A.J. McLean, 32, and Howie Dorough, 37 -- closed the show with a medley of hits (watch above). 

You can watch just a little of what they did last night. Here is the link to it: US MAGAZINE 

TECHBANYAN 

“All you people, can’t you see? Can’t you see? NKOTBSB!”

I’m in boy band heaven! New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) and the Backstreet Boys (BSB), known together for their new tour as NKOTBSB, were “Larger Than Life” on the American Music Awards (AMAs) Sunday night in Los Angeles, proving they have “The Right Stuff” to perform together.

(Did you miss it, or want to re-watch? Check out video of the NKOTBSB performance on the AMAs below!)

The two boy bands, well now men, have reunited their separate groups (BSB minus Kevin Richardson) in the past few years after a long hiatus (NKOTB were big in the late 1980s/early 1990s, with about a 15-year hiatus; BSB were big in the late 1990s/early 2000s with about a three-year hiatus).  Now, they are combining forces for the ultimate boy-band performance.   

Fans got a sneak peek at the upcoming NKOTBSB tour with a performance at the AMAs on Sunday.  As the last act of the night, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, and Danny Wood of NKOTB, and AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and Nick Carter from the BSB, rocked the stage with a medley of hits from each group.

 Here is the rest of the article and yet the same video from the performance TECH BANYAN

MTV NEWS

Superstar boy bands New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys, who each spent a segment of the '90s causing teen-girl hysteria with their squeaky-clean party jams and baby-faced good looks, are now joining forces for a U.S. tour in June.

On Sunday night (November 21), the country got a taste of what an NKOTBSB show will look like when the nine-member collective closed the 2010 American Music Awards.

Before hitting the AMA stage, the fellas told MTV News that the collaborative awards-show production mirrors the staging of their upcoming trek.

"It's gonna be exactly what they see on the tour," NKOTB's Jordan Knight said of the show, in which the guys took turns belting pop smashes by both groups. "I think a lot of people, when they hear New Kids are going on tour with the Backstreet Boys, they think we're gonna, like, [face] off; we're gonna be some kind of rivalry. But that's not the case. They're gonna see tonight onstage that it's a collaboration, that we get along ... and you'll see it on our performance." HERE IS THE REST OF THE STORY  MTV NEWS 

THERE IS ALWAYS LOTS OF GREAT STUFF HAPPENING IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC BUT MAKE SURE YOU BUY TICKETS AT TICKETMASTER.COM FOR TICKETS FOR NKOTBSB 

Gossip Girl Recap

Now we know that nothing is really simple as when you try to take Serena Vander Woodsen down. Now Juliet and Vanessa call in a certain someone who is not allowed in the upper-east side. They have called in someone with the name Little J. After Blair shooting her back to Huston nothing can go to her wishes. What will happen when all three of them try to take down Serena Vander Woodsen after Juliet was cut from all of her money? If you try to take Serena down there comes with a price after all she has Nate, Chuck, Blair, and Dan on her side ready to take Juliet down.

Next week we will see all three of them take Serena Vander Woodsen down because Juliet does not like to lose and she still wants her evidence. Chuck and Blair are just friends but they act like they are more than friends as it, is like they are still in love. What will happen with Nate and Serena? Will they fall in love again and is this the last we have seen of Collin? Will he show up again wanting Serena back? All of your questions will be answered when you watch Gossip Girl next Monday at 8/7C. Blair was soaking in water and eating her weight in as she tried to stay away from Chuck. Everyone knows that with someone like her, she can not stay away from him. They are really meant to be as he stays late into the night talking to her.

Next week we will all see how bad Little Jenny Humphrey has become. After all she did stop the war between Chuck and Blair. That was good on her part but wrong of her to try to take Blair down. This time I hope that someone really fires Taylor Monsen because she is a little girl who is acting older than she is. Jenny Humphrey is just a name not really a Character and Gossip Girl is better without her being as a Character. But the writer of the Gossip Girl books did make up Jenny Humphrey and to tell you the truth she is better in the books than she is in Gossip Girl. Also the Gossip Girl books are much different than the show. So now that we know what will happen next week on gossip girl we are sure that we can’t wait for it to come? Kate Cassidy is not a good actress in my part.

BACKSTREET BOYS
Here is a preview of a interview where the guys sung happy birthday from a girl on a boat here is the link to the preview http://www.andpop.com/2010/08/19/sneak-peak-at-our-backstreet-boys-interview-they-sing-happy-birthday-to-a-lucky-fan/


Here is a preview of the article talking about the guys: MONTREAL - If the popularity of a group can be measured by the decibel levels of its screaming fans, Backstreet Boys are as big as they ever were.
The grown-up boy-band took the stage before an audience of 11,500 female fans, from teenagers to 30-somethings, Monday night at the Bell Centre.
The broad demographic reflected the band's uncanny ability to hold onto their old fans while reeling in new ones - not bad for a bunch of adult men reliving the pop-star days of their youth.
Brian Littrell's Habs-jersey sporting, 6-year-old son Baylee came out first, presumably introducing his dad's band, although his words were unintelligible above the ear-piercing shrieks.

Gossip Girl Recap

Here is a little of what Happened on Gossip Girl Monday: 
         Serena was holding onto a huge secret: Rufus cheated on her mom with their neighbor, Holland!  Ugh, men. She told her dad about it and he said they should hold off on telling Lily. Stress wouldn’t be good for her condition.  But when Rufus stopped by the apartment, Serena couldn’t help but tell him that Holland had informed her about what happened between them.  Rufus was confused. What exactly did Holland say happened?  Serena didn’t want to get into it, but Rufus wasn’t letting it go. So he called up Holland in order to set the record straight. In front of all the van der Woodsens, Holland told her side of the story: Rufus slept with her.  OMFG!  Rufus denied it but Lily had heard enough.  She seemed to believe Holland!  Why would their neighbor fib?  What’d she have to gain?  Rufus didn’t know what Holland’s game was but he knew she was 100% lying.  Hmmm…
         Meanwhile, Blair was preparing for her first real date with Cameron, the Columbia guy she met at the Brooklyn art party. Finally she was going to go on a real date. One that wasn’t with Chuck or Nate or Lord Marcus (whoa, blast from the freaking past). But it looked like Blair wasn’t going to be able to truly enjoy her time with this new beau. Chuck and Jenny needed help getting to the bottom of Lily’s mysterious medication. But Blair told them to get the hell out.  She had a date! And seriously, Chuck. Bringing Jenny Humphrey?  How low can you stoop? Though Chuck and Jenny weren’t the only ones in need of assistance from the queen of scheme. Dan and Nate needed Blair’s guidance as well. They had to figure out who this Holland lady really was. Dan knew his dad couldn’t have cheated on Lily and Nate also believed Rufus. This time, Blair couldn’t help but get involved. As well as come up with a plot or too. After discovering Holland was a psychiatrist, they went to her office.  And guess who just so happened to be there too?  Why, Chuck and Jenny. Turned out, Holland wasn’t just accusing people of adultery. She was also prescribing bad drugs. Yep, she was the doctor who was giving Lily antibiotics.  Everyone realized why Holland was doing all this. It was obvious she was trying to poison Lily to get closer to Rufus. And, of course, our faves knew there was only one way to handle this: take that bitch down!
         At the event that night, everyone was ready for Operation Stop Dr. Evil.  Nate had called in a favor and a member of the American Medical Association was going to show up and help expose Holland’s naughty ways.  It was Jenny’s job to wait for Dr. Tabb, the AMA member, to show up.  But instead of holding up her end of the deal, Jenny decided to go rogue.  She had a secret plan.  After a really icy confrontation with Serena, Jenny just wanted things to go back to normal.  Normal as in three years ago normal aka living Brooklyn with just the Humphreys – ew, I know.  Who’d want that? But I guess she didn’t want the UES life anymore.  Nor did she want to be in a family where her own step-sister treated her so badly (FYI I am totally Team Serena but that’s besides the point…).  Anyway, Jenny called up Dr. Tabb and told him they no longer needed his help.  Um, thanks, J.  Who’s the homewrecker now?
        With no Dr. Tabb in sight, it was time to improvise and Blair and Chuck decided to do what they do best: role play.  The two accosted Dr. Holland and divulged all their dating woes to her.  Couples therapy style.  From the whole Jack incident to the kissing a guy episode, Blair and Chuck let it all out.  Surprisingly, it seemed like it was actually good to spill.  And Holland sure was overwhelmed by their problems.  Dang these two had their share of troubles.  But once Blair and Chuck got the cue from Dan, their role playing was over.  Blair and Chuck told Holland there was an AMA member (aka a waiter pretending to be an AMA member, lol) on her tail.  Then she finally decided to come clean about all the false prescriptions.  The only reason she wrote the prescriptions was because she owed someone a favor.  And who was that someone?  Will van der Woodsen.  OMFG!

Next's week of Gossip Girl is going to be good and also it will be the season final. I hope that Blair says yes to Chuck's proposal. They are so good together. I wish Jenny would learn how to grow up. She should care that her dad is happy. If she loves her dad then why doesn't she want to see him happy. Jenny acts like a brat! Chuck gets into a fight next Monday!

American Idol

About Crystal Bowersox leaving Idol

Hilary Duff about her wedding

Here is a video blog talking about Hilary Duff and her wedding.

Didi Benami is gone from Idol

          Didi Benami is eliminated from American idol last night. ever where is reporting she left idol and almost everyone is in tears. All of the Didi fans are sad to see her go. Katie and Crystal along with the other contestants are sad to see her go as well. Didi Benami was a big part of the show and I think Simon was being mean by not saving her because this is crap. She is 100% better than Tim. 


Here is what mtv.com said about Didi:

         It was another week with no save on "American Idol." Didi Benami's ride to potential stardom screeched to a halt Wednesday night (March 31) when even a strong reprise of her signature Fleetwood Mac cover wasn't enough to keep her in the game. The action-packed hour featured performances from Usher, season-two "Idol" champ Ruben Studdard and Diddy-Dirty Money, as well as a visit from Justin Bieber, but all eyes were on the top 10, as nearly half the finalists were potential bottom-three fodder after an uneven night of R&B performances on Tuesday.

It's on to the next one, though, for Lee Dewyze, Casey James, Aaron Kelly and Siobhan Magnus, who survived after her wobbly take on Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire" elicited a thumbs-down across the board from the judges. Also safe were Crystal Bowersox, Andrew Garcia and Michael Lynche, who celebrated his luck with a near body slam of Ryan Seacrest after the host tried to fake him out.

Teen Katie Stevens had no such luck, taking another trip to the bottom three after the judges had mixed reviews for her cover of Aretha Franklin's iconic "Chain of Fools." She was joined, not surprisingly, by Benami, who got mostly poor notices for her jazzy attempt at "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted," a departure from her singer/songwriter lane that drew predictions of a trip home from our "Idol" experts.

Joining them was perma-grinning "Teflon" Tim Urban, who got flamed for his shambolic attempt at Anita Baker's "Sweet Love." He took the time to explain that the reason he's always smiling onstage is that he appreciates the opportunity to sing for millions, and if it's his last chance to do so, he doesn't want to leave the stage wearing a frown.

Even though Didi is gone, I will miss her and I will always be a fan of hers no matter what happens!

Hilary Duff's new movie

              Hilary Duff is going to be in a new movie this April. It is called Beauty and the Briefcase. It stars Hilary Duff and Matt Dallas from Kyle Xy. The movie will be on ABC family channel. Hilary has been in lots of articles that are just buzzing about her new movie. This what Hollywood crush says about the movie: 

Hilary Duff has landed the ultimate dream role every woman wants (besides that of bride-to-be flaunting a giant engagement ring), starring alongside three hot men in the upcoming ABC Family original movie “Beauty & The Briefcase" (it airs April 18 at 8p.m. ET/PT).

The “Gossip Girl” star plays Lane Daniels, a fashion journalist going undercover for her biggest story yet — get a job at an investment bank to find true love and her very first Cosmopolitan magazine cover story. Hmm sounds a bit "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days," to us, but we'll bite because we looovvee that movie!

Her story seems to be going as planned when she begins crushing on her cute coworker Seth (“Kyle XY” star Matt Dallas, pictured left), who rescues her from a crazy copy machine malfunction. But just as she’s head over heels for the businessman she was hoping for, Lane meets Liam (Chris Carmack from “The O.C.”, pictured right), the uber attractive British music producer who charms her outside the office, making her original idea look almost impossible to accomplish.

Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato

    Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas are finally a couple. Joe hasn't yet confirmed it but Demi already has. This story came from e-online. Read here: 


      In what might be considered a major tween romance faux pas, Demi Lovato has actually come clean about her relationship status.
And the lucky lad is...Joe Jonas!
The always tweeting companions and Camp Rock costars are a real-life couple, Lovato spilled to Billy Bush on his radio program, The Billy Bush Show, when asked if she's ever dated one of the Jonas Brothers.
"Maybe," she responded coyly, and it only got better from there...
Leave to Bush to get the goods! The Access Hollywood host continued to pry, asking, "Which one? Joe?", to which Lovato simply confessed, "Yeah. He's my best friend."
Awww alert, indeed! Lovato and Jonas have been rumored to be together over over the past few months, but denied anything deeper than friendship. However, diehard Disney fans should have seen the writing on the wall—or at the very least, her Twitter page.

Do you think they are a cute couple? why don't you tell me what you think? 

Booking Hilary

             For the first time in her life Hilary Duff is now going to add an author as her profession. Hilary Duff is writing a book that will hit the stores in 2012. Hilary Duff is already a song writer and a good one. So will Hilary be a good author. My guess is that she will do great as a writer. Here are what some sites are saying about it: 


   From the independent.com:
        American actress and singer Hilary Duff is set to publish a series of young adult novels, announced publisher Simon & Schuster on March 9. The first novel in the series, Elixir, will be published in hardcover in October 2010.

Elixir will reportedly combine "the overpowering allure of a dangerous love triangle with thrilling international adventure." The story will focus on Clea Raymond, a young photojournalist, who travels the globe to unravel a centuries-old mystery.

Says Duff, "I've always loved the escape of a great book, especially one that features a strong, inspiring female character you feel you really understand, someone who could be you, but living a more fascinating life. I'm hoping Elixir will be that kind of book-a novel that will transport readers and open  new worlds for them."

    From mtv.com: 
          In the nine years since Disney first introducedHilary Duff to the world in "Lizzie McGuire,"she has taken part in pretty much every different form of entertainment that there is. From TV, she went to movies, and then recorded several multi-platinum albums before returning to movies and most recently TV. But enough is never enough for Hilary, it seems, because now she has found a new realm to conquer.

We just got word today that Hilary has signed with Simon & Schuster to release a young adult fiction series, as well as a nonfiction title. The fiction series move seems to follow the trend ofLauren Conrad, who not only released a successful novel, "L.A. Candy," but also got a film deal out of it.

The nonfiction book is a little bit different. The press release said it won't be a biography but rather a work about the challenges faced by children of divorce, of which Hilary is. The book is slated to be released in spring 2012.

But the fiction series is what really caught our eye. The first book is called "Elixir," and is going to be published in October of this year. This is what the press release has to say about the book:

"Elixir" combines the overpowering allure of a dangerous love triangle with thrilling international adventure. Clea Raymond is a talented young photojournalist who has spent her entire life in the spotlight as the daughter of a Washington politician and a renowned surgeon. Haunted by the strange appearance of a mysterious young man in her photographs, Clea travels the globe with her best friends, Rayna and Ben, in a race against time to unravel a centuries-old mystery that could unlock the key to her soulmates true identity and the secret of her fathers disappearance and ultimately save all their lives.
