Ahhhh your kids!!!! Gah, Zach's hair is brown now! It used to blondish/brown *sniff* I still remember, he was exactly like Justin :lol

Too cute.

[*Stacy*]

Hey Mari! [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] Yeah, it's still a bit light, but definitly still curly. You should see him when he hears Justin on the radio. "Mom, it's Justin Timberlake." [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] So funny how he even knows his last name too. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

So, I guess there's no news to report. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

May be OT: E! News Daily reported yesterday that Brit/Nick Carter are now dating. They called their reps, but no denials/confirmations were given. Same with Justin/Alyssa. And we all remember that Britney/Justin "we're just friends" crap they gave us a few years ago...

[*Stacy*]

OMG Brit and Nick Carter. I so do not see that happening. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Btw, thanks for the news about JC. This now makes it official..I hate living in Austin!!! [img]smilies/bawl.gif[/img]

Oh well..there will be more chances, I can only hope. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[jilliek]

Stacy, Austin is way closer to West Hollywood than Hawaii! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] You could always drive..or walk! I could...swim? [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Yeah, Brit & Nick surprised me too. I could never picture her with Nick. Nor did I think it'd ever happen, especially after she dated Justin. It's kinda weird, ya know? Next thing you know she'll be dating Nick of 98*. Oh wait, he's got Jessica.. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

[*Stacy*]

Aww Jill, Hawaii is so far away. Someday they will come visit you again. If not, when I meet JC, i'll bug him to death to go to Hawaii, just so he can meet you!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah, that's true. I think after dating Justin it would not be cool to date Nick. Right now, i'm sure she wants things to be good in her life, not worse.

'NSYNC's JC Chasez Records Solo Tracks, Considers Album

Singer will have at least one song on upcoming 'Drumline' soundtrack.

By Corey Moss

Justin Timberlake is not the only 'NSYNCer releasing solo material this year.

JC Chasez will have at least one song on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie "Drumline" and appears to be well into his own album.

Dallas Austin, who's producing the film and the soundtrack, has recorded four songs with Chasez, including "Blowin' Me Up," a strong contender to be the soundtrack's first single.

"We've been doing some great, great material," Austin said Wednesday from his Atlanta home. "At first he wasn't going to do a record, but I think now he's kind of interested, so we'll probably just keep recording. We were just writing songs for the movie and we caught a niche and it was like, 'Oh sh--, this is cool for you, let's keep going.' "

So far Chasez and Austin have recorded fun, fast-paced songs and mid-tempo ballads.

"It's back to George Michael and Prince and that '80s era, where even though you had up-tempos, they still had songs to them, they had a lot of attitude," Austin explained. "It was a trip because we didn't realize how far away music had gotten from doing real songs until we started working on this stuff."

The soundtrack — due December 10, according to Jive Records — will also include Alicia Keys, Monica, Petey Pablo and Jive newcomer Nivea, who was featured on Mystikal's "Danger (Been So Long)."

A collaboration between Joe and Jadakiss called "A Girl Like You" and the first teaming of fellow Atlanta producers Austin and Jermaine Dupri, "Been Away," were recorded for the album as well.

"Drumline" is based on Austin's experiences in his high school marching band and is due in theaters January 10. Nick Cannon (Nickelodeon's "The Nick Cannon Show"), Zoe Saldana ("Crossroads") and Orlando Jones ("The Replacements") star in the movie.

Second to Timberlake, Chasez has been the most hands-on member of 'NSYNC, co-writing material and standing out in concert (see "'NSYNC Tour Opener: It's The Justin And JC Show!").

Timberlake's Justified is due November 5 (see "Timberlake, Janet Jackson Make Sexy Pair On Justified").

No Strings Attached

Who's the latest 'N Sync-er to go solo? It's JC Chasez, who's four tracks into recording a new album
by Gary Susman


OUT OF SYNC Chasez is pursuing a solo career

Everyone in 'N Sync seems to be doing his own thing these days -- Justin Timberlake is promoting his upcoming solo album, Joey Fatone is performing on Broadway in ''Rent,'' Chris Kirkpatrick is designing clothes, and Lance Bass is probably still waiting on a launch pad in Russia. Now comes word that JC Chasez is also laying down some solo tracks. MTV reports that he's working with R&B producer Dallas Austin (TLC, Boyz II Men) on a song for the soundtrack to the movie ''Drumline'' and has recorded three more tunes for a possible solo album as well.

Austin is a producer of the film as well, a comedy that opens in January and is based on his own experiences in a high school marching band. For the soundtrack, he's gathered Alicia Keys, Monica, Joe, and Jadakiss, as well as Chasez. Speaking to MTV, Austin says of Chasez, ''At first he wasn't going to do a record, but I think now he's kind of interested, so we'll probably just keep recording. We were just writing songs for the movie and we caught a niche and it was like, 'Oh sh--, this is cool for you, let's keep going.'''

Describing Chasez's tracks, which include a possible single called ''Blowin' Me Up,'' Austin says, ''It's back to George Michael and Prince and that '80s era, where even though you had up-tempos, they still had songs to them, they had a lot of attitude. It was a trip because we didn't realize how far away music had gotten from doing real songs until we started working on this stuff.'' Um, that's not a dig at Chasez's day job, is it?

Thanks for the info Jill. Can't wait to hear his songs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Timberlake, Jay-Z, Cam'ron Contribute To Mariah Carey LP

Album will include production work by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jermaine Dupri, Irv Gotti.

By Corey Moss


Mariah Carey has been Justified.

Justin Timberlake has joined Jay-Z and Cam'ron on the list of artists lending a hand as Carey prepares her new album. Timberlake added verses and harmonies to Carey's mid-tempo "Yours" last week, and while it's still pending the heartbreaker's approval, the song's seasoned producers already smell a hit.

"If I were to compare it to something we have done with her in the past, it would be 'Thank God I Found You,' but I think 'Yours' blows it away," said Jimmy Jam, who produced the track with partner Terry Lewis. "It is probably one of the best hooks [ever]. I have a 6-year-old, and the first time he heard it, the third time the hook came around, he already knew it."

Carey has already approved a version of 'Yours' without Timberlake for her as-yet-untitled album, due December 10, but she's flying to Jam and Lewis' Minneapolis studio on Tuesday (October 15) to hear the just-mixed duet and decide if it's better. Jam is convinced she will.

"At the end she did a series of ad libs, and he totally did them exactly with her but an octave below her," he explained. "They were kind of intricate, ... but he totally matched everything. He's mega-talented, and to have them both on the same track is special."

Jam and Lewis are among an impressive list of producers who have recorded Carey for her follow-up to the disastrous "Glitter" soundtrack. Others include Jermaine Dupri on a track called "The One," Dre and Vidal (Michael Jackson), Damizza (Nate Dogg), DJ Quik, Irv Gotti, and 7 Aurelius (see "Mariah Carey Records In Bahamas With Live Band, Strips Down With 7").

Just Blaze (Nelly) produced a track called "You Got Me" that features Jay-Z and Freeway, as well as a cover of Cam'ron's "Oh Boy" featuring Cam.

The album will be the first on Carey's own MonarC Music imprint (see "Mariah Signs With Island/Def Jam, Records With JD").

Jam and Lewis, who have collaborated with Carey for years, will likely have three tracks on the new album: "Yours," the tentatively titled "Wedding Song," which Carey rescued and penned lyrics for long after Jam and Lewis forgot about it, and the first single, "Through the Rain" (see "Mariah Carey Insists She Just Needed Sleep, Taps Family History For Clip").

"I think 'Through the Rain' is a great way to start the record, because it is emotional and it kind of speaks directly to the questions people might have about the last year of her life," Jam said. "It's a good idea to get that out of the way and move on to happy, less emotional songs."

And there are plenty of upbeat Carey songs to move on to. "She's happy," Jam said. "She loves doing music and recording it. I thought Mariah was very focused and intense, as she usually is, but also at the same time much more relaxed."

At the video set for 'Through the Rain' late last month, Carey promised an album much different than "Through the Rain."

"There are records on the album that are definitely going to be perceived as [sentimental]," she said. "There are a lot of lyrics that are very honest and direct and about me and just about my life as a human being. ... And then there are records that are really fun, like escapism for me. It's not like I'm going to suddenly write this woeful album. 'Oh misery.' No! I choose to turn those things into positives 'cause that's how I get through life."

In other Carey and Timberlake news, the two will be sharing the stage later this month along with Ja Rule, India.Arie, Jill Scott, Eric Clapton, Elton John and others. They will be honoring Stevie Wonder at BET's eighth annual Walk of Fame induction ceremony, which is taping October 19 in Washington, D.C., and airing October 29.

Jamie Foxx is hosting the event, which has recognized Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Boyz II Men in past years.
