The brand new music video for Fall Out Boy and Demi Lovato’s collaboration on the new single “Irresistible” is everything we ever wanted – Demi Lovato on a Fall Out Boy song in a music video that’s an homage to our favorite *NSYNC video!
Patrick, Joe, Andy, and Pete are turned into dolls that nobody wants, just like *NSYNC was overlooked in the original video.
The description for the video says it’s “about the toys that nobody wants that come to life” and form a band of misfits together. Even better: Wayne Isham, the same director who did the original *NSYNC “It’s Gonna Be Me” video reprises the doll video, and he even brought Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone back for the FOB + Demi collab.
Watch the video below for some serious boyband nostalgia!

Nickelodeon announced this week that they are expanding their 90s TV lineup with a new programming block called “The Splat.” “The Splat” will air every night from 10pm to 6am (no more staying up until Midnight to catch “Hey Arnold!”) and feature all your favorite 90s Nick shows. Here are some of our favorite shows we hope to see on the lineup when it launches October 5th!
1. “Hey Arnold”
Unlike some shows, “Hey Arnold” is just as awesome as it was when you were also in 4th grade.
2. “Doug”
Doug and Skeeter were such fangirls for The Beets (so are we).
3. “Clarissa Explains It All” The 90s fashion icon.
4. “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” The show’s theme song by Polaris was just one of the many amazing things about Pete and Pete.
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter has been killing it on “Dancing With The Stars” so far this season! Nick just released the music video for his new solo single, “I Will Wait,” from his upcoming album. Nick is saving all his dance moves for DWTS – the simple video for the ballad features Nick playing an acoustic guitar. Watch the video for “I Will Wait” below!
Pre-order the single on iTunes now! Be sure to tune into “Dancing With The Stars” on ABC Monday nights!
It’s boyband week over at Billboard.com, AKA the greatest thing ever. Every week should be boyband week. In honor of the occasion, Billboard staffers held a fantasy boyband draft, assembling their dream teams. For this week’s Friday Five, we decided to get in on the fun and do our own boyband draft and create 2 super boybands: J5 and *Big Time Boys on the Block°. The only rules were that you can’t pick 2 members from the same band. Check out our picks and vote for your favorite!
Team A: J5 (JC, Joey, James, Jeff and Jesse)
JC Chasez
One of the greatest male vocalists, ever. He can still hit ALL the notes, and he hasn’t aged a day since “Bye Bye Bye.”
Joey McIntyre
Just watch this performance from The Main Event Tour, and you’ll know why Joey is the MVP of any boyband. Those vocals. Those moves. Those abs.
James Maslow
We knew James was a national treasure during Big Time Rush’s run, but he further proved it in his run to the final 3 of “Dancing With The Stars.” Enjoy.
Jeff Timmons
Jeff has had the most uh, interesting post-boyband career. He brings the moves for sure. Fun fact we somehow just discovered: He was part of a “man band” on VH1 called “Sureshot” with Chris Kirkpatrick, Rich Cronin and Bryan Abrams in 2007.
Jesse McCartney
The most underrated former boyband member (Dreamstreet!). His last single, “Punch Drunk Recreation,” and the accompanying video (where J Mac basically leads his own boyband) have not gotten nearly enough love.
Team B: *Big Time Boys on the Block°
Nick Carter
Nick has had his struggles in the past but he overcame them and continues to BRING IT every night on stage giving 110% during every show. He also likes to make up his own moves on stage which is always A+ in my book.
Donnie Wahlberg
Do you watch NKOTV every week on A&E? NO?? You should. It’s the greatest night for television and you’ll see why Donnie Wahlberg is my top pick for boyband. He knows how to treat the fans, he’s great to his wife (secret fangirl: Jenny McCarthy) and his family. Plus – watch this video for further proof of A+ boybanding.
Nick Lachey
Another former boyband member who has a TV show about his own restaurant (“Raising The Bar” on A&E every Wednesday night.) Let’s face it, Nick Lachey was the best looking member of 98* and he’s been the most successful – aside from Jeff Timmons’ stripper revue.
Kendall Schmidt
Kendall has seamlessly transitioned into boyband member to acoustic singer-songwriter while not alienating any fans from either end of the spectrum. He’s got a good voice, and whether he wants to admit it or not – this boy can DANCE! Plus, he’s got great hair.
Joey Fatone
He appeared on Hannah Montana, dancing with the stars, various food critic reality shows, and he’s still the most underrated member of *N SYNC. Let’s not forget that Joey was also in “On The Line” with Lance.
We might have took the long way, but we finally got to see Shania Twain in concert for the first time last night! There may or not have been some fangirl tears shed at the show. Shania’s “Rock This Country” Tour hit Madison Square Garden, for what is likely her last NYC show … ever. (Shania announced in advance that this would be her final tour.) She proved time and again that after all this time, she’s still the one.
If you’ve seen videos from Shania’s “Still The One: Live From Vegas” show, you might be expecting her to pull out all the stops for her final tour. After all, that show had everything: elaborate sets, horses, backup dancers, many costume changes, etc. But the “Rock This Country” Tour set is surprisingly simple. The stage had the large video screens, pyro and moving parts we’ve come to expect from arena tours, but the real focus was on the music. Shania’s voice and stage presence alone are enough to get the whole crowd rocking. Her voice is as strong as ever, and yes, she can still hit that note in “From This Moment On.” Her large band also helped put the “rock” in the “Rock This Country” Tour! The show was a full blown rock show, and Shania’s band proved that you can rock out on a fiddle! During Shania’s costume changes, her band played impressive arrangements of her biggest hits, keeping the energy high.
This was a Shania Twain show after all, so of course she had some surprises in store! During “Any Man Of Mine,” she took a tour of the arena on a moving mini-stage, getting closer to the fans in the back. She later went “up up up” on a fringed saddle, riding around the runway. Shania also took some time to interact with the lucky fans in the front row! She was hi-fiving and signing things without missing a single note. Shania even handed off the mike during “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)”
Shania has so many hits that her nearly 2-hour set went by in a flash. We could have stayed for another 2 hours, and she certainly would have had enough music to fill it! The arena-wide singalong that happened during “You’re Still The One” was one of the loudest and most emphatic we’ve ever heard. Everyone in the Garden was screaming every word. Chills.
The “Rock This Country” Tour runs through the end of October, and like we said, it’s Shania’s final tour, ever. So don’t be stupid and get your tickets now!

There ain’t no party like a Block Party! New Kids On The Block’s Summer Tour, aptly titled, “The Main Event,” stopped at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island over the weekend. As with any NKOTB event, it was a nonstop party from start to finish! It was everything we expected from this tour, and more. NKOTB know how to BRING IT each and every night on stage. Our review started as a fangirl keysmash but we managed to recover enough to write actual words.
Round 1: Nelly
Nelly got the party started with hits like “Country Grammar,” “Ride Wit Me” and “Hot in Herre,” making everyone feel like they were back in high school.
Round 2: TLC
T-Boz and Chilli win for best outfits of the night. Their holographic jumpsuits and their dancers’ “TLC” printed overalls made us feel like we were back in 1999. The highlight of the set was a singalong to their hit “Waterfalls,” as the crowd held up lights in memory of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
Round 3: New Kids On The Block
The New Kids just get better and better with age. NKOTB know how to put on a SHOW. They also know how to make every fan in the arena feel like a part of the action. Their stage setup is one of the coolest we’ve ever seen, with moving risers and multiple runways, so everyone has a chance to be close to the band. And they know exactly what the fangirls want. Change cam? Check. Tuxedos? Check. Dance Moves? Check.
Their set was a mix of old favorites and recent ones, and the year of each song’s release was written on the big screen – from 1984 to 2013. After singing “Please Don’t Go Girl,” Joey McIntyre said he’d been singing that song for 27 years, and asked the crowd if he could sing for 27 more, generating lots of screams from the audience (YES, PLEASE!)
Jordan Knight came out for a solo segment, his white shirt billowing open thanks to a couple of wind machines. Joey McIntyre followed, but decided to take things one step further and abandoned his shirt entirely. Donnie Wahlberg, once known for his tank top ripping and getting extremely um, close to fans in the front row, is happily married now to Jenny McCarthy, who was also in attendance. Instead of his old antics, Donnie led the crowd in a singalong of “Lean On Me,” while hundreds of #SelfiesForDonnie rotated on the big screen.
A highlight of the show was when the band dispersed into the crowd during “Tonight,” getting even closer to some lucky fans. Joey’s adorable son Griffin kicked off the song, singing from on top of the piano. He even did a spinning headstand. Trust us, this kid is going to be playing arenas with (we hope) his own boyband one day!
NKOTB are kicking off the 1st of 2 nights at Madison Square Garden tonight. There’s just a few more stops left on The Main Event Tour, but if you can get to a show, it’s a MUST.
