December 27, 2004 - elghato writes "On December 21st, 2004 the Dorough Lupus Foundation hosted a "Christmas Evening with Howie in NYC." Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough chatted with fans at his recent charity event and filled them in on the group's plans for the new year. Millie858 from the Backstreet Boys forum at LiveDaily.com was in attendance that night. She says Howie asked a lot of them for their input in regards to the new album. She told them to make the first single a fast song, don't release Poster Girl as a single, tour small arenas and not big stadiums, and do lots of promo. Howie then updated her and her friends on what's going on with the group. He played clips of new songs from the album called Moving On, I Still, Beautiful Woman, and Siberia (which is about a broken heart). He also said they will release the first single at the end of January, put the album out in March, and tour in the summer. Also in January, they'll do a big photo shoot, so expect lots of new pictures. To read her full review, click here."

December 20, 2004 - Anonymous writes "Rolling Stone magazine interviewed Paris Hilton in their current issue, among the questions asked were, "When you were dating Nick Carter, you admitted to liking his group. What's your favorite Backstreet song?" She replied by saying, "Ewww. I hate them. I don't know what I was thinking. I met him, and I didn't really like him. He kept calling my bodyguards: Introduce me! Introduce me!, I was like, 'I'm not going out with a Backstreet Boy.' Then I ended up thinking he was, like, nice, and ended up liking him. I was just sick of bad guys, but he ended up being an asshole in the end." She also says that when she was 16, she begged her father for a boob job but he declined, when she turned 18 she changed her mind on a boob job because "They look deformed. All my friends that have them, they look so gross." Hilton thinks that tatoo's above the ass are, "chessy and unoriginal". Meanwhile, she revealed that on her upcoming CD she will cover David Bowie's 'Fame' and Blondie's 'Heart of Glass', and will be working with Lil Jon on a track titled, 'That's Hot'."
