If you like boy bands, this edition of “Back In The Day Buzz” is for you! Lots of AWESOME news (and new albums, too!). We start off by talking about one of my favorites, 98 Degrees. I have lined up Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees to be on the show the weekend of March 16th. We spoke a bit in advance of the interview and he informed me of a few exciting things: 1. A new 98 Degrees album in mid-summer. 2. A new single in early May. 3. More dates being added on “The Package Tour” with New Kids On The Block & Boyz Read More …

Perhaps you already knew this, but it came as a shocker to me the other night when I was laying on my couch, flipping through the TV and came across “The Vanilla Ice Project” (not too be confused with The Tony Rich Project). No, The Vanilla Ice Project is not a new music group featuring the “Ice, Ice Baby” performer. Rather, it’s a home improvement show that is brought to you by DIY and HGTV. You see, it seems that our old pal has “more than 15 years of home improvement experience due to his 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach Mansion.” He goes around helping others improve Read More …

Last week, we talked about the exciting news that Destiny’s Child and Justin Timberlake had brand new albums coming out. And while we can’t say the same thing about Kris Kross, we CAN tell you that they are reuniting for at least one concert – the So So Def 20th Anniversary show next month in Atlanta! That’s right, Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith are a duo again, if only for a day. It’s funny that this is occurring, actually, since we got a Tweet asking about Kris Kross just a few weeks back. One other thing to report on the Kris Read More …

Since we last spoke a week ago, some INSANELY EXCITING NEWS for diehard fans of the 1990’s has been revealed, as two of the decades biggest superstars have announced they’re coming back with new music! Let’s start with Beyonce and Destiny’s Child, who have let it be known that they are getting back together for the first time since 2005! This came as a bit of a surprise, since I was told by Beyonce one time that the group getting back together was a “slim and none chance.” Apparently a new album will be released in about ten days, on January 29th, and will be Read More …

Since we’ve now officially made it through December 21st, we can enjoy the Holidays and no longer worry about the world ending. I am shocked that the Mayans (and forecasters) were wrong on this one, totally shocked. 🙂 To be serious, I want to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. I had a long article ready to publish about a few 90’s stars, but will save that for the next time I write in early 2013. That’s because I keep constantly thinking about the tragedies in Newtown, Connecticut and how I hope we all learn from them. Not only Read More …

I have my 32nd Birthday next week, and the older I get, the more difficult it becomes to hide my true feelings… So that’s why I’ll just come out and admit it. I have a man crush on Nick Lachey. There, I said it. Years and years of admiration for the pimp are finally revealed. And wow, it feels so liberating to go on record with that fact. Hahaha. To be serious, Nick is one of my favorite people in pop culture by far – not only because I loved 98 Degrees back in the day, and not only because I had an ex who Read More …

By now you have no doubt heard about Jon Bon Jovi’s 19-year old daughter Stephanie, who suffered an overdose on heroin two weeks ago while at college in upstate New York (Hamilton College). Stephanie was rushed to a hospital that day (November 14th), eventually released and has been cleared of wrong doing from the law. There are nice photos all over the Internet of Stephanie and her Dad from over Thanksgiving break in the Hampton’s. Bon Jovi has called the November 14th event “a tragedy” and he is no doubt very thankful that he didn’t lose her to such a terrible drug. Here’s to hoping Read More …

We take a week off from the latest in 90’s news to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving! This year, more than ever, we encourage you to treasure each moment you get with family and make sure they know how you feel about them. The more the years go by, the more important family becomes, as they’re our only true link to the past and a rock we can always count on. It’s easy to get “lost” in the weeks and years as they pass by with a blink of an eye, but our goal is to help you realize to “slow things down” Read More …

How would you like to read a new book written by Britney Spears? Seems fascinating, right? I mean think of the possibilities – a look inside her life, both then and now, from touring to family issues to X Factor judging to children and everything in between. But actually, Brit is in talks to write a fiction novel about a pop star. AKA, she’s probably going to write all true stuff but call it fiction, since we’ll never know the difference! Haha. No firm announcement on when this will happen yet, but rumors say early 2013. Apparently, this will be the second fiction book from Read More …

We start this edition with some very, very, very sad and sombering news – Natina Reed, a singer from the group Blaque and actress from the 2000 movie “Bring It On,” tragically passed away last Friday night outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Reed was only 32 years old. Reed is survived by her son Tren, just ten years of age, and scores of lives she touched along the way. That’s because from all accords, Reed was a charismatic woman who had a number of friends in many places. To me, what makes this especially hard is the nature of how the death occurred. Apparently Reed was Read More …
