'N Sync and BSB eye solo careers
Source: Worldpop
The world of pop could soon be witnessing a mass migration of singers to the bright lights of Hollywood after a prestigious entertainments firm set about searching for various lucrative, high profile projects to expand their client's careers in the industry.
'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, his girlfriend Britney Spears, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, US Popstars winners Eden's Crush and Making the Band group O-Town are all being lined up for 'music, TV and film projects' in Hollywood.
Entertainment law firm Rudolph and Beer have been instructed to scout for various projects under its new R&B FM division.
Britney has already made the crossover move and is currently filming her own debut movie as a grade-A high school pupil who takes a road trip across America with some rebellious school friends.
She's now reportedly keen that her boyfriend Justin Timberlake branches out and explores other career options rather than become stuck in a boy band. Justin has already signed a book deal and is in talks to appear in movies. He famously visited Michael Jackson's ranch to discuss possible projects.
Backstreet Boy's Nick Carter has previously had a walk on, or rather slide on, role in Edward Scissorhands. He can be seen in the opening sunny sequence whizzing along a watery, slippery slide in someone's front garden. Despite owning his own property in Tampa Bay, the area in which he grew up, Nick's family have bought a property in the Hollywood Hills so they can provide support for their ambitious offspring.
