A novel idea for *NSYNC
Blockbuster Awards Spoiler
O-Town Issue Threat to *NSYNC
"I think he was a lot safer when he was commenting on the people we were working with," Erik continues, "but he made a big mistake when he commented on us as a band. We're going to do things that are going to surprise a lot of people. I feel really bad when people have to eat their words."
Dan from the band adds: "I think we have just as many qualities as *N Sync, though we're not as big as them. They were put together and they didn't really have a reason to be put together; we did because we had a TV show. I think it's a double-standard for him to say anything."
*NSYNC Take Charge in New Recordings
"I think out of the eight to 10 tracks we've written, that we've done so far, two of them were done by other producers so the rest has all been done by us," adds Kirkpatrick.
*NSYNC's Dirtypop
*NSYNC are currently gearing up for their North American Popodyssey tour which kicks off in May but, as reported earlier on worldpop, they have been forced to reschedule a handful of dates following difficulties encountered by organisers. Three dates in Georgia, North Carolina and Chicago have been cancelled outright while two dates in Miami and Tampa have been rescheduled.
The band's follow up to No Strings Attached will be released on 26 July. According to Justin Timberlake the album will be a melting pot of influences. 'We tapped into a lot of different flavours,' he has stated and credits the album's producers who include Rodney Jerkins and the Neptunes for the spectacular finished results. 'Something keeps happening every time we put an album together,' he added. 'This vibe kinda kicks in. It's so intense, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.'
From BBC.com:*NSYNC star Justin Timberlake has just signed a seven-figure deal to write his first novel. It's pretty much unheard of for a young celeb to get that much with their first go at fiction. But Ballentine Books are banking on his millions of fans - and the Britney boyfriend connection - to boost sales. The book will be called 'Crossover Dribble' - no plot details have been released as yet.
From Fumanskeeto.com: Be sure to watch the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards Wednesday, April 11th on the Fox Network to see Chris as he sports yet another outfit from the FuMan Skeeto Signature Collection. Along with band-mates J.C and Justin, Chris will be accepting 4 awards presented to *Nsync for the success of the record breaking "No Strings Attached" album and tour.
From NME.com: O-TOWN have issued a threat to *N SYNC, telling NME.COM that the boyband should be "pretty worried about shooting off their mouths". In an interview with NME.COM, Jacob from O-Town blasts *N Sync's Lance Bass for comments he made about O-Town. "I think it's really bold of him to open his mouth and start shooting off about us because he knows where we came from and we're working with the same people that put *N Sync together," he fumes. "I'm kinda worried that we might let out some secrets 'cos we've found out some stuff about how real or not real they are. I'd be pretty worried if I was him if he wants to keep shooting off his mouth."
From ABC.com: The boys of *NSYNC want to make it clear: They are in charge of their own recordings. When they release their album Celebrity on June 26, member Chris Kirkpatrick says it should be obvious who produced the record. "You'll hear the next level ... you'll hear our sound changing a bit but I think the most important thing is that we're sitting down and producing this album, were finding the musicians to play on the tracks that we've written," he says.
From Worldpop: *NSYNC's Lance Bass has revealed more details of the band's eagerly-anticipated third album Celebrity, naming two of the LP's tracks in a recent interview. Chatting to Much Music during the band's stop off in Toronto, Canada, Lance described Gone, the track rumoured to have been penned by Britney Spears' boyfriend, Justin, as an incredible ballad. Lance also mentioned that the band's first single release is likely to be an up tempo number called Dirtypop.
