They Liked it, So They Put a Ring on it

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

(Pic not related, but awesome.)

Here’s a pair of engagement announcements for two guys who you might have forgotten about were it not for the incredibly slow news weekend.

Backstreet Boy AJ McClean celebrated his 32nd birthday on Friday (doesn’t that make you feel old) by proposing to his girlfriend onstage during a solo show.

McLean “surprised his girlfriend Rochelle in [club] Wasted Space after running to Rocks the Jeweler inside the Hard Rock Hotel, and buying a beautiful diamond ring,” the source says. “He ran back to Wasted Space for the strike of midnight, and the change of date to Jan 9—his birthday!”

How….. Romantic??? I’m not sure that a complete lack of planning and a last minute proposal on his birthday is my idea of romance, but hey– she’s dating AJ McClean– so maybe being an afterthought is right up her alley.

Next, remember the guy who lost all that weight by eating subway sammys every day? Jared Fogle recently announced that he proposed to his girlfriend, a schoolteacher named Katie, back in November. The two plan to get married in the summer, and I’ll give you two guesses as to who will be catering the wedding.

Let’s just hope he can get that weird Subway bread smell out of his skin before the honeymoon.

I Want It This Way

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Since this video has less than 50k views I’m deeming it post-worthy. Also, the news sucks today. Can’t Tori Spelling work on having more public outbursts about her weight when I’m covering for Wendie? What’s wrong with that woman? Doesn’t she know I have a post count to fulfill?

Anyway, this video is actually pretty funny. An office (I’m not sure where, but I’m guessing by the casual wear it’s somewhere in California), decided to all turn on their webcams at the same time and lipdub to a Backstreet Boys classic. The results are hilarious, and I can’t help but wonder if I’m the only one who thinks there’s massive amounts of sexual tension going on between these folks. I’d bet that the dude in the plaid and the blond chick have gotten shwasted off egg nog and done naughty things on the copy machine at more than one company party. Kinda makes me wish I worked at an office instead of at the computer desk in my apartment, covered in my own filth and chihuahua hair. Kinda.

Backstreet Boys New Single, Inconsolable

Because all of their solo careers have gone so very well, the Backstreet Boys have teamed up to release yet another single, called “Inconsolable.” Missing from the new four-member crew is Kevin Richardson, who left the band back in 2006, saying that the departure was “necessary in order to move on with the next chapter of my life.” He and his wife had a baby boy named Mason in July. Did somebody say Yoko Ono?

You can listen to a sample of the new song, which debuted on New York’s Z100 today, here. The single will hit the rest of the airwaves on August 27, and the album is set for release on October 31.
