AJ
& Sarah Scrapbook "Karaoke Love"
back up
Source: You Are... Leighanne Littrell
We met up with JoJo (from LA's 102.7 KIIS-FM) at club One-Seven in
Hollywood and talked to him about AJ's and Sarah's engagement. He
explained to us how he found out:
JoJo called the house that AJ and Sarah share in Los Angeles to find
out information about their Holiday Party. Since no one was home, he
left them a message. Sarah promptly returned his call and told JoJo
that they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. JoJo was shocked
and was scared he'd stuck his foot in his mouth. But Sarah then told
him that they were fiance and fiance.
Kathy asked JoJo if we would be crazy to make another scrapbook and
ask him to deliver it to AJ and Sarah. Excitedly he said "Of
course! Thats a great idea!"
For those of you who dont know, along with being a good friend of
ours, JoJo is a good friend of AJ and Sarah, and the other
Backstreet Boys. JoJo Wright is a popular night DJ in Southern
California's Top 40 Station, 102.7 KIIS-FM. He has been seen on
shows such as the Teen Choice Awards, the AMA's, City Guys, etc..
Not only did the Backstreet Boys fly JoJo down to Florida to watch
an exclusive rehearsal of the Black and Blue World Tour, he was one
of the two DJ's personally invited to join them on their 100 hour
Around the World Tour. He can be easily seen on MTV's Diary of the
Backstreet Boys and in BSB's Around the World VHS and DVD. Most
recently he can ben seen in MTV's How To Live Like A Pop Star. You
can find out more about JoJo on his official site @ www.jojoontheradio.com
and you can listen to him every week day from 7-11PM PST @ www.kiisfm.com.
Last Summer/Fall 2001 we made a scrapbook for AJ giving him our
support of his rehab. JoJo delievered that scrapbook in Mid-October
and AJ was very grateful, and loved the book.
We are now making a scrapbook for AJ and Sarah congratulating them
on their engagement.

Backstreet
Boy avoids Criminal Rap
back up
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Millions of teenage girls can breathe a collective sigh of
relief.
Heartthrob Nicholas Gene "Nick" Carter, the smash singer
of the all-male pop group Backstreet Boys, won't become a convicted
criminal.
Carter agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program that will
allow him to avoid jail and any criminal record for getting into a
spat with a Tampa police officer at a nightclub last month.
"He is a first-time offender, and we treated him just like
anyone else," Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi said
Friday.
Police handcuffed Carter, 22, on Jan. 2, saying he refused to stop
arguing with a woman and leave Pop City, a video arcade and
nightclub on Channelside Drive in downtown Tampa.
As the club was closing about 3 a.m., police ordered Carter 10 times
to leave but he wouldn't, authorities said. Police did not say what
Carter and the unidentified woman were arguing about.
Carter only calmed down when an officer handcuffed him and put him
in the back of a police car, police said.
At the time, Carter, who grew up in Ruskin and often hangs out at
Pop City, said he had "done nothing wrong."
"I truly believe my celebrity motivated the officer to arrest
me," he said in a statement released soon after his
arrest.
Police, however, said they didn't know who Carter was. The same
police officers approved the pretrial intervention deal, Bondi
said.
Carter was charged with resisting or opposing a law enforcement
officer without violence, a misdemeanor. If convicted, the
internationally known sex symbol could have faced a year in jail and
probation.
But rather than go to trial and risk a criminal record, Carter
agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program, which is similar to
probation. He will pay a fine, perform community service and serve a
period of probation.
Bondi didn't know Friday how long it would take for Carter to
complete the program. She also didn't know the size of the fine or
the number of hours of community service Carter will complete.
The State Attorney's Office often offers first-time offenders the
chance to keep their records clean by completing pretrial programs.
If Carter finishes the program, prosecutors will drop the
charges.
"He made a stupid decision that night," Bondi said.

Carters
To Collaborate On Joint Album
back up

Written by Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Aaron Carter reveals he'll be collaborating on an album with his big
brother, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.
"We should be recording together soon," says 14-year-old
Aaron, who performs three songs with Nick on his Feb. 16
pay-per-view special "Aaron Carter's Valentine
Party."
"It was great. My brother and I sang together on the previous
tour (when he opened for the Backstreet Boys), but we'd never done
an actual special." Adds the pubescent recording star of their
joint TV offering, "It has a lot of cool interaction stuff ...
interviews and skits with my brother. He did a good job."
Right now, Aaron is concentrating on the 25-city U.S. tour he began
last week in support of his latest Jive album "Oh Aaron,"
which has already been certified platinum. He says he'll be on the
road for about a month and a half, then gear up to head
overseas.
If you miss him here this time around, don't worry. "We're
coming back to the States and will probably be out here on tour the
rest of the summer."
