So, what do adult film star Ron Hyatt and Orlando boy band 'NSYNC have in common? Well, as some confused fans in Edmonton, Alberta found out last week, the two apparently have a penchant for using the alias of "Ron Jeremy." Hyatt, who is known around the world as porn star Ron Jeremy (Jeremy is Hyatt's middle name), was in Edmonton last week to perform at a comedy show at the Thunder Dome. According to his publicists, Jeremy received scores of calls from girls inquiring about the whereabouts of 'NSYNC, who were scheduled to play a show on Friday night at the city's Skyreach Centre. After a short investigation, it was discovered that one of the members of 'NSYNC uses the name "Ron Jeremy" as an alias when checking into hotels on the road. The band's road crew was in Edmonton for a few days prior to the December 10 concert, and when fans saw the 'NSYNC tour buses pulled up outside the same Westin hotel where Jeremy also happened to be staying, the calls began pouring in. It wasn't immediately known which of the clean-cut lads in 'NSYNC had been copping the porn star's name as a pseudonym, and representatives for the band had yet to comment on the matter.
It has officially been confirmed that "No Strings Attached" will be out March 7, 2000. The first single, "Bye, Bye, Bye" will be dropped onto radio mid January.
Well Tuesday the 7th of Decmber was my *Nsync concert. It was held in Calgary, Alberta (my hometown) and I must sumarize it in five words...BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! They danced, they sang, they flew, it was really great! I even met them and I must say, they are THE NICEST guys I have ever met! They really are even better looking in person (if that's possible) and they really do get along like brothers really well. I have a few pictures (actually a full roll) and I have a few of their opening acts, McMaster and James and Ron Izzarri, Chris' latest production project. If you would like any info on the concert, or some of the pics, contact me and I'll see what I can do. Oh and just before the guys sang "I Drive Myself Crazy," Chris announced that *NSYNC has won the first battle and they get to keep their name. He and the guys also mentioned (and I quote) "That because of fans like you supporting us, *NSYNC will be around for a long time to come". Isn't that great news? Well if you would like any more info, please don't hesitiate to contact me, I'd be happy to answer any questions, concerns etc.

"Kidd Kradick, the DJ here in Dallas, also the recipient of the air personality of the year award, interviewed Chris backstage, and Chris said that it was written by max martin. That's such an interesting point that you brought up though. I agree, I think it really was directed toward Lou, transcon, and all those critics that ridicule them. Go 'NSYNC. Also something that I thought was kind of interesting; Kidd was actually sitting directly behind 'NSYNC during the broadcast, and they said that after 'NSYNC performed, that they were so mad that they never returned to their seats. Apparently, the technical difficulties with the song not starting got them really mad. Can you imagine how hard that must have been for them to have to stand there for almost a minute? They said that they were screaming as they walked off the stage."
I know some of you guys are BSB fans and I am too for the most part but I have one thing to say to them....GROW UP! Not make sence? Well last week, it was announced that BSB might possibly be leaving Jive records, just for the sole purpose that 'Nsync has recently been signed. Apparently, one of the reasons that BSB left Lou and Johnny was because 'Nsync was there and they felt threatened by them. I'm sorry, but my theory is that people to listen to what they want, they don't care what label the artist(s) is with. Also, BSB has been resorting to the childish thing called name calling. Reportedly, BSB has been calling 'Nsync 'NSuck. Luckily, 'Nsync has a sence of humor and are eating it up. Chris even has a hat that says 'Nsuck across it.
