I certainly hope your April was great as we get to the May edition of “Back In The Day Buzz!” Let’s begin by talking more about the Britney Spears/Iggy Azalea single that we first wrote about two months back. It’s called “Pretty Girls” and was leaked last Saturday. Here is a link to check out the catchy tune. By the way, Brit Brit and Iggy will be performing the song at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards on May 17th (a week from this weekend!). Next, I’m sure you are as blown away as I am by the fact that Milli Vanilli singer Fab Morvan is Read More …

Welcome to our exciting April edition of “Back In The Day Buzz,” where we get right to plenty of exciting news by starting with Wilson Phillips. In particular, how UH-MAZING is it that the group was recently hired to do background vocals on the song “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna? That’s right, listen closely… not only will you hear Kanye West and Paul McCartney but also, the ladies who sang one of my favorite 90’s songs, “Hold On.” I didn’t believe it at first either but once you hear ’em, it’s pretty sweet! Next, more good news in the form of a possible Hootie & The Blowfish Read More …

I hate having to write these tragic RIP posts every now and again but each artist of the 90’s deserves to be remembered for the lives they lived. In this case, I’m sad to report that Charmayne Maxwell of Brownstone has passed away (earlier this week, at the age of just 46) and it happened in about as tragic of a manner as you can imagine. Maxwell was innocently enjoying a glass of wine on her very own patio when she apparently tripped, fell backwards and had her wine glass shatter on the ground below her. Milli seconds later, she fell onto it and suffered Read More …

We begin this week with tragic news in the ’90’s pop culture world………………………………. The news is that Beverly Hills 90210 was planning a reunion of the ORIGINAL CAST a few years back but it was NIXED by every single network. To be more specific, Ian Ziering (Steve) recently opened opened up to the Huffington Post and said a reunion special had been pitched where the cast would sit around a dinner table and reminisce. It was to appear on TV back in 2010 but surprisingly, nobody was interested. You can find the full article at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/03/ian-ziering-beverly-hills-90210-reunion_n_6608148.html?utm_hp_ref=1990s but count me as one 90210 fan who is Read More …

First of all, how AMAZING was that Super Bowl Halftime Show this past Sunday that included Katy Perry, Missy Elliot and Lenny Kravitz?!?! I know this is a 90’s show and neither Elliot nor Perry had hits during that decade but Kravitz sure did (“Fly Away” and “American Woman”) so I feel like it’s fair game to bring it up. I liked that Katy kept things classy and tame while giving a performance that sparked lots of cool senses! She really is exactly what you see on TV – fun, funny and sweet. Missy completely stole the show in doing a few of her old Read More …

I have absolutely TREEEEEEEEEEEE-MENDOUSSSSSSSS news for you if a trip to Las Vegas is in the works anytime soon. NOT ONLY can you still see Britney Spears play at her residency at Planet Hollywood (“Piece Of Me”) but also, MARIAH FREAKING CAREY has now established a two year residency at Caesers Palace (with 27 shows per year)! Mariah will do so in nine show increments over the two years meaning that basically, she’ll play one month, take a month off, play one month, etc. Something else great about the news is that she promises to play ALL HER HITS, not just some of them, as Read More …

Happy New Year!!! I don’t know about you, but as I opened up Christmas gifts a couple of weeks back and looked at the electronics ads, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the old days, the 1990’s, when we thought technology was good but in reality… it was awful!!! Haha. Remember when a computer would cost $1,500, monitor sold separately??? How about dial up Internet with 2400 Baud modems? Hahahah that is so funny to think back about. It would take like a minute for a page with a photo to load and if someone picked up the phone, you were kicked off!!! Finally, remember Read More …

I could use this space to write about the bizarre story and seemingly undoing of Scott Stapp, frontman of Creed, with his living out of a truck and alleged threats toward President Obama. However, since I don’t want to speculate on “he said/she said” and also won’t speak with you for a couple of weeks due to the Holidays, I thought I would keep this entry positive! So I want to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!! And if you live far away from home or perhaps don’t have a lot of family left, I hope you can find Read More …

On some editions of “Back In The Day Buzz,” I’m the bearer of bad news, from issues like divorce to lawsuits to at times, much worse. But on this issue, I’m happy to say I have nothing but GREAT NEWS to report! Let’s start with Alanis Morissette, who recently opened up to the Huffington Post about the days when she FIRST hit it big – think “Jagged Little Pill.” To sum it up, she went from playing small, intimate “lounge” type venues to stadiums, and seemingly overnight. As one might imagine, Alanis had a tough time dealing with all of the quick changes and pressure. Read More …

My excitement level was difficult to contain this past week when I found out that “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy & Monica will be re-recorded and re-released… By 2014 artists Jessie J and Ariana Grande!!! For somebody who LOVES the original, and also thinks very highly of the two new pop stars recording the remake, this couldn’t be any more amazing. It will definitely be interesting to see what kind of success the remake will have, too, because “The Boy Is Mine” spent 13 weeks at #1 back in 1998 on the Billboard Hot 100. No word on the exact release date yet, but Read More …
