Lady Gaga’s comments always seem to be as unique as the singer’s style. The ‘Poker Face’ singer recently made another pop culture prophecy by comparing the fandom of iconic rock band The Beatles to the current-day Jonas Brothers mania. Lady Gaga mused “Now we have the Jonas Brothers representing the return of the superfan.” I’m not too sure about that. If memory serves me right, didn’t the Backstreet Boys, Hanson, NSYNC and even the New Kids on the Block bring back the superfan over a decade ago? I guess Lady Gaga wasn’t even aware enough of those fandoms to have made the comparison.

AJ McLean is a recovering alcoholic – until recently. It was heartbreaking to see the Backstreet Boy stumbling out of the Key Club this past week, looking to be way past wasted. Sources inside the club say that AJ was taking shots and drinking beers during the show. When he went out, he nearly falls into the street. One of his friends calls him out, emotionally confronting the guy who went to rehab for alcohol and cocaine abuse in 2001 and again in2002. After the confrontation, AJ’s friends forced him into a cab and sent him home. AJ was reportedly 6 years sober in 2008. It’s sad that he breaks that number in 2009.

Rumors have been running rampant lately that the Backstreet Boys are about to get the boot from their record label Jive Records. The reason behind the rumors is that their last two releases didn’t really perform well.

However, a Jive Records spokesperson has recently gone on the record and put an end to the rumors by saying “Reports about Jive Records dropping Backstreet Boys are completely untrue. The group is about to embark on a worldwide tour in support of their album ‘Unbreakable’ starting February 16 in Toyko, Japan as well as some high profile television appearances.” That’s a relief!
