Boy Bands looked like they were living glamorous lives on MTV and in magazines, but there was a lot of ugliness going on behind the scenes. Joey Fatone and fellow ’90s Boy Banders are finally telling their truth in Boy Band Confidential.
Fatone will be joined by *NSYNC member Lance Bass, AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys, Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, Ashley Parker Angel of O-Town, Brad Fischetti of LFO, and a few more.
“Being in a boy band was one of the greatest experiences of my life, but it also came with challenges we didn’t always understand at the time,” said BOY BAND CONFIDENTIAL Executive Producer, Joey Fatone. “This project gave all of us a chance to reflect, to be honest, and to share what really happened behind the spotlight.”
They were huge stars who looked like they were living the dream, but in interviews, they will talk about the abuse, addiction, and financial manipulation that we didn’t know about until now, and discover they were living a nightmare.
What will the boys reveal to us? Find out on April 13th and April 14th on ID.
The two-night, four-hour event is part of the Hollywood Demons series, which will be back for a second season starting on April 20th. The second season will tackle The Jerry Springer Show, Saved by the Bell, and 16 and Pregnant, child stars whose success propelled them into shocking adult trajectories, and celebrity doctors who over prescribed to death.
Before Joey Fatone was singing on stage to millions of fans, he told the host Phil Moore on Nick Arcade that he only sings in the shower. How cute was the 15-year-old in that 1992 episode?
Joey Fatone is in New York City, starring in Broadway’s And Juliet, and he sometimes takes the subway to get around.
So, imagine the surprise of his fans when they see him under the streets of the city; they get excited. After a few of his fans said, “Hi! Hi! Hi,” they asked him to do the Bye, Bye, Bye Dance with them. And he obliged.
They were so in synch with the *NSYNC singer, I think they were almost better than that band and him doing it. What do you think?
Justin Timberlake had a concert in Anaheim the other night, and some of his old friends came out to see him.
Who are they? Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez drove down to see him.
But there was someone missing. Where was Joey Fatone? Is he out of the band? Nope, he was in New York City making his Broadway debut in & Juliet. Hopefully, the guys will go see Joey on stage just like they did Justin.
Maybe when Fatone is done on the Great White Way, and Timberlake is finished touring, they can reunite as a band and get it over with.
Back in 2002, *NSYNC did commercials for Chili’s, and they were given baby back, baby back, baby back ribs for life.
So, do Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, J.C. Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass still get Chili’s for free? That is what an interviewer wanted to know, so he asked Bass. “No! Because of Joey Fatone,” he answered. “He ruined it for us. He abused the system and ordered every weekend for parties and stuff. And Chili’s was like, ‘Yeah, we’re gonna take that card back from you.'”
So it turns out that Timberlake is not the worst member of the band. The FatOne is!
While that is the sad part of the story, there is a happy one too. Lance’s ex-assistant makes him go there all the time so that he can order the baby back ribs. How much do you want to bet that the waiter, who was not even born in 2002, has no idea how awesome that is?
