Tarts&Asoertainment “ts ^ (402)472-1756 Boy band members shock world with news of secret erotic relations By Booms Staff slut Teenage girls around the globe shuttered today as members of the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync revealed that they are actually secret lovers. Justin Timberlake, of the band ‘N Sync, and Nick Carter, of the Backstreet Boys, revealed their “dirty secret” on the popular afternoon television program “MTV Total Request Live” hosted by fellow teen dream Carson Daly. (The one who used to go out with Jennifer Love Hewitt.) Backstreet Boys members Nick,( Howie D., AJ, Brian and Kevin all stood somberly together wearing matching suede vests and phat white sneaks while Daly openly gaped as the floor of the sweet MTV studios locat ed in Times Square became wet with pre pubescent tears from the live studio audi ence. /\na 10 ininx mat just moments ago, everyone was grooving to the No. 3 video, Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff.” ‘N Sync members Justin, JC, Lance, Joey and Chris, clad in matching sparkly sil ver suits (the ones the group just recently wore on the super-kool cover of “Teen Beat”) also stood somberly, each seeming to know that the resounding lyrics of their new hit “Bye Bye Bye” were about to come true. Justin, formerly known as the heartthrob of ‘N Sync, with his cherub-like halo of curly blonde hair and wide, blue eyes (swoon!!!!!), said he decided, after consulting his super cute boyfriend, to make his sexual prefer ences known on “TRL” because it was some thing many of his fans are interested in. “I’ve been watching myself being chased by this beautiful woman in our vide<4 which has been number one on ‘TRL’ for, like, 50 weeks or something and I just can’t take it any more,” Justin said. “Especially when in real life I’d much rather be chased by Nick (of the Backstreets.).” Justin also revealed on “TRL” that his hair is not in fact naturally curly, but is a perm. Daly, who seemed a bit uncomfortable in the presence of the newly outed former teen heartthrobs, seemed at a loss for words. “So, well, uh,” Daly said, “Why don’t we take this down to the street where we have our second runner-up of the ‘Wanna be a VJ Contest’ Dave Holmes ready to rock and roll.” Holmes, who was at the time of the announcement, surrounded by girls on the street holding signs reading things such as “Do me oh yea JC!” and “Take me from the BACKstreets!” really had the first hand word on the streets. Jenny Bigbangs, 14, from Brooklyn, N.Y., expressed distress at the fact that her two favorite singers, Justin from ‘N Sync and Nick, from the Backstreet Boys, were in real ity swooning over one another. i mean, n wouia oe uiv n tney were both swooning over me, and, like, wanted to have a threesome or something. But the fact that they want to ... DO IT with one another, like, totally makes me want to take down all my posters of them and take their new CD to < the trading place. Whatever,” Bigbangs said, as she dropped her glitter-covered sign read ing “I’m BUSTIN for JUSTIN,” onto the lit ter-filled pavement. After the final two videos on the TRL countdown ran - the Backstreet Boys’ “Show Me The Meaning (Of Being Lonely)” and ‘N Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” the channel went back to its regularly scheduled pro gramming. At a later press conference sponsored by MTV, Nick said he was confident the Boys would hold on to their fan base, especially now that he is openly gay. “Hey, look at Ricky Martin,” he said. The boy bands’ story is reportedly being considered as a possible plot line on the MTV sex-drama “Undressed.” ^ I’ve been watching myself being chased by this beautiful woman in our video which has been number one on “TRL” for, like, 50 weeks or something and I just can ’t take it any more.” Justin Timberlake 'N Sync Thefollounng is a brieflist of events this weekend.

For most students at UNL, operating a bait and tackle shop two miles from Memphis Lake would be a dream come true. But for Dale “Double D” Davis there were bigger fish to fry. He wanted to sell guns. The 32-year-old self employed entrepreneur graduated trom the University of Nebraska Lincoln with a general studies degree two years * ago and joined the work iorce. it wasn t long oetore he realized there was something lacking. “Well, I got the bait and tackle shop ‘cause my Double D sister got herself pregnated and couldn’t lift the 5-gal lon buckets of ice anymore,” he said, itching some thing near his eye. “And it was really great for a while, I got to listen to the radio and shit, but you know, I don’t like dealing with the type of people who come into bait shops, you know, uppity types.” So he gave it all up. Packed his clothes, tapes and boom box into the dodge hatchback his cousin traded him for a pair of stretch denim jeans and headed into the great unknown - back to Lincoln. This time, however, Double D was armed. “Well, I wrote me up one of them resumes,” he said, pronouncing it “ree-zoooms.” “Boy, that thing made a big difference. Used to be I’d go to a place and they’d take one look at my feathered hair and Dusty Springfield shirt and send me packin’. Now I show them my resume and I aint thrown out so quick. “Best part about it is the respect I get now, it’s like I’m saying to the world, ‘luck me? No, fuck you! ’” It wasn’t long before Double D was behind the = counter of BadAzz Pawn Shop, 11* and D streets, selling weapons he had so many times considered turning upon himself. It was quite an accomplish ment and all of Double D’s family were very proud. “Who the fuck is Double D?” said his estranged father. Never one to be selfish, Double D decided to share his resume writing gift with the rest of the world and has been offering seminars in Taco Bell parking lots and UPC-sponsored events ever since. He’ll be featured in this spring’s UNL Job Prom and said that along the way he’s developed a formula for the perfect resume. ‘Say you ve got a van,” said Double D, looking as serious as he did when he actually had a heart attack. “I mean, I’ll put that sumbitchin’ Dodge up to any fuckin’ van anyway, I’ll blow the doors off anything. For some reason though, having a van is kind like of a symbol of like, you know, sophistication, so just say you’ve got one.” He pulled out his resume, which was scrawled with a crayon on a crumbled Burger King napkin housed inside his Velcro Rude Dog wallet, and start ed listing some of the things he felt got him the job. “For experience I knew they’d want someone who sold shit before, so I put about how I used to sell shot guns and crystal meth at Dirk’s house,” he said, now curiously scratching his inner thighs. “Then I thought about how not just any dumbass can sell guns, so I’d better show how I’m smart, so I just put that I’m smart.” Finally Double D said the finishing touch on the resume had to showcase his personal skill. “I think that, like, if I was going to hire somebody, which hopefully soon I’ll have my own gun business, I’d want to see an example of their ability to do stuff, so I put about how I can take a huge hit from a gravi ty bong and then burp pot smoke and say the lyrics to ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ by Warrent, all at the same time,” he said. “I mean, if that doesn’t get ‘em, like, I wouldn’t wanna work for that pussy anyway.” When BadAzz Pawn Shop was contacted for comment by the Daily Halfasskan, they didn’t know who the fuck Double D was either.
