Jane Carter, Arrested again!

2008-07-25T00:05:59Z

Nick Carter's mama was arrested this morning, allegedly over a really nasty divorce hearing.

Here's how it went down. Jane Carter, aka Jane Holcomb, aka Jane Schnek, was divorced from a guy named John Holcomb. There are still some legal odds and ends to deal with, including an allegation that she trashed the house they once shared.

John filed legal papers forcing Jane into court, but she didn't appear. So the Florida judge wants her butt in jail for not appearing and he's ordered a bench warrant. She was picked up today in Sumter County at a cemetery where the construction company she works for was doing a project. Perfect.

It ain't Donna Reed, folks.

SOURCE! sorry, forgot it the first time.

Merch question

2008-07-06T01:45:38Z

I'm aware merch sales are not allowed, but I hope questions are.

Like many older fans I'm "stuck" with merchandise from my early years as a fan and am trying to get rid of them. I know they're not going for much on ebay, if at all, but I got some stuff I don't know if they can be considered rare or not, or if people would be interested in them. Some of them are Nick's Reach For a Book original vhs (1991), the Fair performance when he was around 12 and Griswald The Turkey (1990), all three of them are in the packaging they were sold in. A Backstreet Project shirt/hat/promo folder, House of Carters black shirt...

Would any of these be of interest to fans nowdays? I'm out of the loop when it comes to that and don't know what to do.

And where could I post to reach fans if I were to sell them? I want them in the hands of people who will care for it as much as I once did.

Happy fourth of July!

Just liked to wish everyone a happy and safe fourth. ^_^

Oh BSB, why are you trying to get us drunk?

New member, and a question

2008-06-25T21:45:31Z

Hello! I just found this community and I must say I am very very excited to be seeing BSB at my hometown of Ottawa on August 4th! It's hard to believe how long it has been since I first saw them live.

So I noticed in the community rules it says no selling BSB merch - I am wondering if you know of any lj communities where I would be able to sell a huge box of my old BSB stuff. I really don't like selling on ebay and would rather find somewhere on lj to give a good deal to a fan like myself. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

So I wake up this morning to check my email and I find out on Hotmail's Today page they're featuring links relating to teen idols and there's one on MSN entitled Backstreet Boys: Then and Now...thank you HOTMALE!

I warn you, there are some pretty retro BSB pics on there....like this little gem that made me squee out loud when I saw it! The freckles and the hair! OMG! I died!

Enjoy the journey through the BSB timewarp! You've been warned!

Hoke Dorough has passed away

2008-06-22T23:07:03Z

From ktkm at LD

I was just speaking to Angie Herring, and she asked me to pass along this message:

Hoke Dorough has passed away.
This morning, June 22, at 9 a.m, Hoke Dorough passed away in his sleep.

The Dorough family had the opportunity to spend time with Hoke before he passed and are very grateful for that time.

They also want to thank you all very much for your love, concern and prayers during this time, and appreciates all the good thoughts you sent their way. The family will continue to be dealing with this loss, and can only be glad that Hoke is in a better place now.

Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Vancouver presale code

2008-06-17T06:38:10Z

Hey all you British Columbians out there in LJ-land, does anyone know the presale code for the GM Place show? Is there even a presale code? (Tickets go on sale this Friday.)

I don't listen to The Beat or Crave95 so I have no idea if they're promoting it, although the concert is listed on the Crave website.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The presale code is "unbreakable".

Help

2008-06-16T14:35:22Z

Okay so finally the Regina (Aug. 30) date is listed on the website. It's on Ticketmaster too, but they're not on sale yet.

So I have choices to make. First, do I join the fanclub just for the satisfaction of knowing when the tickets actually go on sale? How good are the pre-sale tickets?

Two, do I cough up what sounds like an obscene amount of money for a VIP ticket package? What really is a VIP ticket package? Has anyone here gotten one? I'm willing to pay if it's awesome but I don't really know what I'm getting myself into here.

Edit: I caved and joined the fanclub. Presale is tomorrow at 8am for all western Canadian dates and I must say, the system they use is pretty weird. You don't even know what seats you're buying when you buy them. I've also decided I'm doing the VIP thing. It's way overpriced, and some people have had bad experiences, but this may be a once in a lifetime thing for me and I'm gonna take the risk.. Now I just need to hope I get one. Wish me luck.

Anyone going to the Regina show say hi. Any Winnipeggers wanna join up on our road trip and pitch in for gas say hi too.

Atlanta HHC Bowl-A-Thon {06.14.08}

2008-06-14T20:18:21Z

Hey guys, I was at the Healthy Heart Club Bowl-a-Thon today in Atlanta and it was AMAZING. Brian, Leighanne, and Baylee were there. I've been a BSB fan for over 12 years and have never met them, so this was HUGE. I met BRIAN! I HUGGED BRIAN! I MADE BRIAN LAUGH! I HAD A CONVO WITH BRIAN! lol. I'm happy. Can you tell?

Also, can I just say that Leighanne is absolutely gorgeous and she's VERRRRY sweet - and it's genuine sweet, not put on. She told me I was beautiful...ok, the wife of a BACKSTREET BOY told ME that I was beautiful - um....freaking out inside. Baylee is adorable and I think he has Brian's sense of humor, although Leighanne is a goober, too - which I wasn't expecting. Watching Baylee bowl was HILARIOUS, although he did get a strike. Brian was VERY approachable, and if I didn't know who he was, I would have thought he was just a regular guy off of the street. He's THAT down to Earth. Leighanne was too. I gotta say, I'm even more of a fan. Anywho....pictures below...enjoy!

:D

ATL

2008-06-06T16:45:37Z

Hey ya'll!

I posted a few weeks ago about tickets to the ATL show in August (on my birthday. YAY!).

It seems that ticketmaster is selling them, starting tomorrow... for around $58 for a table seat.

I've never been to that venue before. Can anyone tell me how many seats are to a table and how far away from the stage they are? I'll definitely be going the table route. I'm hoping to get a ticket tomorrow since it's my birthday present, and I know I'll be going by myself. How many of you are going to the ATL show?

An Open Letter on Howie's Visit To Manila, Philippines

2008-06-06T00:06:58Z

Dear BSBFCP Community,

Greetings!

As you may be aware, Howie Dorough was supposed to visit Manila sometime this July to promote his single with Sarah Geronimo. Negotiations were about to take place with Sarah's label but we were regretfully informed that Howie's visit would be postponed due to his father's severe illness.

We would like to ask for your prayers and continued support for the recovery of Howie's father and to strengthen Howie and his family in these trying times.

If you wish to post your messages for Howie, you may go to the Forums or at the Multliply link below:
http://bsbfanclubphils.multiply.com/journal/item/54

These messages will then be sent by June 13, 2008.

As we support Howie in these times, let's continue to pray for him and his family and hope that he will be able to visit us soon.

Many thanks and God bless,
Backstreet Boys Fan Club Philippines Admins

FIRST OFF -- Congrats to the Backstreet Boys -- Our FIRST Champs!!!
How long can they rule for???
Hmmm...
I'm going to put up a new battle of the bands (and the bands' fans) every week.
You can vote as many times as you want.
I encourage getting message boards/fan sites/etc. behind the voting because it's all about pride. Of the bands... and of the fans.
The winner each week will go on to the next week's battle and take on a new challenger!
I'll keep a running tally of number of wins for each band here too.

So here's the first Battle Of the Bands (and the Bands' Fans):
(remember -- vote as many times as you want)

Who is better???

The Backstreet Boys (champions)

Fall Out Boy (challengers)

Select your option and vote!

TALLY OF WINS:
----------------------------------
Backstreet Boys -- 1

I heard this on the radio today on the way home from work. It says that the boys have already won a round, and I think that was Rihanna. In the car I swear I heard Rihanna, but I'm not sure. This is so random since Kiss108 never plays the Backstreet Boys. Hey, maybe if they win, Kiss will reconsider, and begin playing them more often? Nevertheless, the ballad is almost pointless, lol, no prizes or anything, but I will vote as many times as i can. This is one obsession that you just can't let go!

Picture Worth A Thousand Words

2008-05-31T06:17:08Z

Just a little drabble I wrote for a challenge on a website where I post stories. Let me know what you think! ♥

"Nick! C'mon, the interlude's almost over!" Kevin barked as the youngest band member loitered backstage; microphone in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. I watched Kevin roll his eyes and reach over to grab the collar of Nick's vintage t-shirt, much to Nick's dismay. He was probably daydreaming about beating Brian's high score on Play Station 2. As much as you would like to think there are better things to daydream about when you're performing for thousands of fans... Nick sometimes has the attention span of a gnat and therefore thinks about video games inbetween songs.

"Kev! What the Hell?!" Nick yelped as he stumbled backward, nearly dropping the expensive microphone. His shirt was released once he followed the pace of everyone else. He huffed under his breath and I could hear his favorite curse words follow, though it went ignored. He glanced at me with a look of contempt and I shrugged my shoulders. You went by Kevin's word or face some consequences. Just like a child with his father.

"Get your head out of the clouds. It's time to go back onstage," Kevin muttered as they followed AJ, Brian and Howie. I grabbed my camera and quietly moved into the front rows, blending with the crowd quite nicely as I began snapping photos of the famous and talented quintet. Girls screamed as their heros came into view and the men merely smiled and waved. You could see they loved their job and were born to do it.

Within moments Nick had forgotten Kevin's rough handling and began singing to the fans along with his bandmates. I easily went through the crowd, taking pictures that were more than just perfect. It was like the simple motions showed how much the men cared about each other. The smiles, the elbow nudges, wrapping an arm around the shoulders and the playful pushes. It seemed to speak more than words and it was beautiful. I guess I am a little biased since I am the Backstreet Boys tour photographer and the little sister they never had, but it's how I see it. Besides, they hired me for my photographic talents and I see art in things that others can't.

I turned around and took several photos of the fans, who would randomly group together and smile. They were having the time of their lives and it was all because of five men. Five men who loved to sing for all who would listen. Some of the fans recognized me and waved. I smiled and waved back before turning my attention towards the stage. The tone had settled down a bit as a grand piano rose from below the stage. I quickly took some photos as Kevin appeared on the bench, lightly playing a tune no one could really grasp. Kevin was always tinkering with little songs on his keyboard while on the busses and random air flights. The arena grew quiet as they listened to the oldest bandmember play the delicate song.

Brian, Howie and AJ took stools and sat around the piano, merely listening and taking a few sips of water. Nick, however, apparently decided that he would rather sit next to the man who was basically the father he never had. Without thought, he plopped down onto the bench next to Kevin, causing the man to raise an eyebrow while the others chuckled. Nick shrugged his shoulders and leaned against Kevin for a moment, as if to gather strength from the rock of the group and almost a form of an apology for his sluggish attitude backstage. A chorus of admiration filtered through the crowd as Nick placed his head against Kevin's shoulder. Even the other men looked at the bonding moment and chuckled. It was the perfect moment. I wasted no time and quickly took a picture.

Kevin saw the flash and gave me a look I immediately understood.

I want a copy of that.

Smiling softly, I nod and he smiles in return as Nick continued to stay in that position for a moment before the introduction to Incomplete began to play.

It was moments like these that made me feel blessed to be working for such an amazing group.

I hope this doesn't get deleted, cause I made a similar post a couple days ago and it got deleted. Not sure why, I don't think I was breaking any rules? Just asked what kinda seats people got thru the american express presale

Anyways. I went online today to see if I could find better seats for their show in Toronto thru the publuc onsale. I searched for 2 tix the SECOND they went on sale, and all that was coming up was the 400 section. I've searched for a good 15 mins, just 400s and lawns came up. I'm a little shocked to be honest. Even with the American Express presale, I was lucky to find seats in the 200 section, as the majority of tix available were 300s and 400s

I'm just a little, confused! I'm kinda shocked this show is selling out so quick. Normally you can find seats in the 100 or 200 section thru public onsale. Where did they all go? Since they wernt available during the amex presale, or thru the public onsale.

As some of you may or may not know, our father was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs and brain at the end of March. In April he went through three weeks of radiation treatment to his brain. Unfortunately the results were very disappointing. The cancer and tumors in his brain have increased. Throughout this time my father has been very brave and positive with everything. He is not giving up and has opted for more radiation treatment to his brain, which is the maximum amount that the brain can tolerate before doing more damage. After he finishes the radiation treatment he has also decided to proceed with the chemotherapy treatment for the cancer in his lungs. There is no cure for his cancer, but hopefully the treatments will contain the cancer from spreading more, which will prolong his life with us. At this time he is physically very weak from the treatments. We believe in miracles and the power of God and I am asking you to pray with me and my family for a miracle for my father, Hoke. God hears us when two or more come together in his name. Thank you in advance for your prayers, love and concern.

Sincerely,
Howie & Pollyanna Dorough
