HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21, 2000 -- When there's mayhem, you can blame the Backstreet Boys. At least for the remainder of their 100-hour tour. At least 10 fans were injured after the Boys landed in Tokyo's Narita airport Monday when a group swarmed their bus. Now Reuters says that about 45,000 fans rushed to see the band give a 10-minute show on the roof of a hotel in Rio de Janeiro. Fans literally threw themselves in front of the band's bus on the way to the airport. "It was crazy. You would have thought the president was here or Michael Jackson, not the Backstreet Boys," said group member Howie Dorough after watching the fans spill on to the roads. The Backstreet Boys are on a whirlwind, 100-hour tour around the world to promote their new album, "Black and Blue," which hits stores today. The band is being touted as the top-selling boy band after sales surpassed 55 milli

The Boys are releasing four of the album's songs on their official Web site, www.backstreetboys.com. Fans can also catch an excerpt of the "Shape of My Heart" video at the site, too. Now that's thinking of your fans! At the site, you can download "The Call," a hard, funk tune with Spanish guitars; "Get Another Boyfriend," an aggressive, beat-heavy dance number; and two ballads, "I Promise You (With Everything I Am)" and "Time."

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 16, 2000 -- One we could handle. Shrug off. Say, well, it happens to the best of 'em. But two? Two?!? Ah, but this is a cruel world. Yea, verily. Or as Erica from Ohio wrote on the MTV Web site: "I think that it really sucks big time." The root of said suckage? Why, word that Backstreet Boys Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell have popped the will-you-marry-me question to their respective galpals. The Littrell party reportedly already has a wedding date set; no word on the Richardson party's plans. Richardson and Littrell revealed their marriage intentions Tuesday on MTV, a cable network we're told sometimes features videos by the Backstreet Boys -- a best-selling boy band not to be confused with 'N Sync, a best-selling boy band not to be confused with 98 Degrees, a best-selling boy-band group not to be confused with, say, Brit

He also said their songs were "rubbish" and the boys "should be shot," according to Reuters. During a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela, Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson said that when Oasis performed at the MTV awards, Gallagher spat on stage and looked like he was strung out on something. "He should just go back to London," A.J. McLean said. "The only thing that matters for us is if we're unhappy with our music and if our fans are happy," Richardson added.
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 13, 2000 -- What’s the perk of directing a critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning movie? Answer: It guarantees you at least a couple more directing gigs thereafter.
