Thanks to the Photoshop geniuses over at our favorite high fashion magazines, we’re led to believe that all of our favorite stars are flawless beings, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Just like you, there are plenty of celebrities who have odd body quirks they have to deal with on a daily basis- and remember, their days, unlike yours, include lots and LOTS of cameras. The Frisky ran a horrifying gallery on celebrity outies (like the belly button, no the similarly-pronounced car), and it got us thinking.

While you might be worried about people seeing your monster of a zit or that awkward birth mark between your fingers, at least you don’t have a 3rd nipple or old lady hands…but if you do, you’re in good company! Read More »

I spent the better part of high school going to Backstreet Boys concerts. I made posters, convinced my mom to buy me hideous and overpriced concert gear (including a shimmery jean jacket with a studded gold “Backstreet Boys” on the back that I just HAD to have… I kid you not). I was smitten. I would daydream in Algebra class that they would just swoop into my school and serenade me (never happened), or that I would sit front row at their concerts (happened a few times thanks to my knack for sneaking up).

And while I grew up, and my musical repertoire changed, I have always held a soft spot for the Backstreet Boys. Maybe it’s that sweet pang of nostalgia, but the Boys gave me an escape, they started my love affair with music, and it would only be fair to admit that they even, in a way, helped start me on my career path in music, journalism and TV. Oh and their music is undeniably catchy.

So while people still give them flack and mainstream U.S. media doesn’t cover them nearly at all, there is no denying that the Backstreet Boys make you want to sing in your car. I’ve seen you (yes, YOU) at the bar belting out ‘I Want It That Way’ at 2am on Friday nights.

Their concerts are still packed with screaming girls, from 8-68. And it doesn’t hurt that despite losing a member, these Boys have only gotten sexier with age. Sounds too good to be true? Check out some footage CC shot at a BSB concert this past summer in Detroit: Read More »
