Denise McLean, mother of Backstreet Boy AJ McLean, was recently on 20/20 to talk about the condition of her son. On July 9th BSB made the announcement that AJ would be entering rehab for depression and alcoholism. What most fans wanted to know was the truth about what put AJ in rehab.
Denise put it like this: Alex was her son--a person who had a heart of gold, who loved his family and his puppies. AJ was the Backstreet Boy--a person who loved to perform, who made girls go crazy, the one who got the tatoos and colored his hair. AJ was a secure person in his dance steps, he knew all the songs. Alex was a very insecure person. AJ had told his mother he hadn't felt like Alex since he was 6 years old.
(MY OPINION) The way I see it, things started when AJ's dad left the family when he was 4. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he had a good family life. Later at age 20, AJ finds his dad, but his dad seems to be only interested in him cuz he's a Backstreet Boy. At age 23 AJ's grandmother dies. He was very close with her. She practically raised him! (Remember that's what got him started on McDonald's.) He was never given the right amount of time to grieve. He never had the mechanisms inside to grieve properly. I think this is what Denise McLean was trying to say. You may disagree with this, but this is the way I see it. As we all know, right now AJ is in transitional care. He is learning how to cope with all of this stuff that's going on. I wish AJ all the best and hope he gets well very soon. I SUPPORT AJ!!!!! |

As most of America and the world are aware of, AJ has checked himself into rehab for depression and alcoholism. Most ppl believe this is due to the loss of AJ's grandmother, to whom he was VERY close.
So once again BSB fans are being called upon to stop rumors and be supportive during AJ's hard times. Just like fans were very supportive during Brian's surgery 3 years ago, it's time to stand up for AJ. Please wear a Black/Blue ribbon to show ur support. It's very easy to make (these directions come from BSB-OOST-Tastemakers:
Take blue ribbon 1/4" wide and black ribbon 3/8" wide. Cut the blue ribbon just a bit shorter than the black and place it on top of the black. Secure it with fabric glue and add a small brass safety pin to attach it to your clothing, purse, shoe, or other place. You can modify it slightly and wear it in your hair, put it in or on your car...be creative and get noticed! |

Littrell Donates to Sheriff's Dept.
CANTON, Ga. (AP) - Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys (news - web sites) was so
grateful that Cherokee County deputies recovered his two Chihuahuas
that he donated $10,000 to the Sheriff's Department to buy new
bulletproof vests. ``Out of the blue, we received a check from Brian Littrell, who
lives in Cherokee County,'' said Sheriff Roger Garrison, who showed
off the new vests Wednesday. ``The $10,000 enabled us to buy 30
vests.'' The new vests will allow Garrison to replace outdated ones. Littrell's missing pets, Tyke and Litty, were taken from his
home last July. Deputy Donald Evans, who recovered one of the dogs, was excited
about getting the new vests. ``It was great that he was able to do that for us,'' Evans said.
``We would have helped anyone in that situation.'' |

Backstreet Boy gets boat stuck
Date: June 2, 2001
Source: azcentral.com
Knight Ridder Newspapers
Nick Carter melts teens' hearts as a crooner with the Backstreet Boys. But it looks as though he could use a few pointers when it comes to cruising the seas.
Carter, 21, ran his luxury cabin cruiser aground near the Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon, Fla., on Tuesday - and it was still stuck there Friday.
Carter, who owns a home in Marathon, was piloting the 45-foot SeaRay boat 'N Control' from the Atlantic Ocean to Florida Bay when it struck a shallow seagrass bed on the bay side at the east end of the bridge, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Carter told authorities that he wasn't familiar with the area and went on the wrong side of the channel marker. He shut the boat's engine down immediately and was taken ashore.
His father, Bob Carter, attempted to assist salvors Thursday in motoring the vessel off the flat, but they were advised by marine authorities to wait for a higher tide in order to prevent further damage to the seagrass, which already had sustained minimal injury, said commission spokesman Steve Acton.
arine biologists from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary will assess the area to determine what civil fines Carter, who could not be reached for comment, will face for the grounding.
The Backstreet Boys performed last week before hordes of screaming teen-agers on Duval Street in Key West, Fla., for MTV's "Summer in the Keys."

According to an article featured in J14 and found at Backstreet.net, Nick Carter has been battling his own weight problems. Nothing to worry about though. The article talked about when the Boys' aren't on tour the youngest Backstreet Boy tends to just sit around and play video games and eat at home. Nick commented on how he's got his father's stomach and that also leads to the weight issue. Lately he's been sort of depressed cuz he's not around Brian and Kevin as much as he used to be cuz they r married and so he feels sort of lonely. To read the whole article click here. |
