Baby, She’s Gone
Three out of four PopGurls experienced dizziness and shortness of breath following repeated viewings of the video for *NSYNC’s new single, “Gone.” (NOTE: Michelle had not, at press time, seen the video.) Therefore, we thought our readers might be interested…
JC Freaks Me
I actually wanted to wait a bit to do my Celebrity review, so that it didn’t read like this: “It’s so goooood! I love it! It’s brilliant! I HEART *NSYNC!” Which is what would have happened if I had written…
Oops, I Did It Again
This is a hard thing for a guy to admit in public, but I believe in an honest review: I saw *NSYNC again, and this time I kind of liked it. Instead of being in a catatonic, over-stimulated daze, I…
*NSYNC Ate My Wife And I Watched
Ever since my wife was taken over by *NSYNC (late October of 2000) I have had to watch a lot of performances by the shiny quintet, both on TV and at the IMAX. And while I have always respected the…
Michelle Finally Sees the Boys
So, for those of you not keeping track, I was the last PopGurl to see *NSYNC live. I was extremely bitter about that fact. It got ugly, yo. And, to top it off, the bitches (aka *NSYNC) weren’t coming to…
Quiz: Are You a Teenie?
PopGurls helps you answer one of the nagging questions of our times: Are you a teenie? When an *NSYNC song comes on the radio you a. scoff and quickly change the channel. b. leave it on, but joke loudly about…
The Hidden Life of On the Line
And you thought it was just a movie with cute boys in it. There is a whole wealth of information hidden in this movie, for those who take the time to look. And because we here at PopGurls are all…
Special Report: On the Line Premiere
Through our incredible amount of clout in the world of entertainment; the fear and awe in which we are held by the movers and shakers of Hollywood – not to mention the amazing generosity of a friend – Amy and…
That’s the Way Love Goes, Again
Written by Melynee, Amanda MTVIcon: Janet Jackson brought us an unexpected treat – *NSYNC not only doing a fantastic cover, but putting their own spin on the video itself. The first viewing left most popgurls nearly incoherent, but after subsequent…
On The Line: Slashy Goodness
Melynee, Amy • You knew it was coming. Because, despite all the promotional appearances and marketing blitzes (convenient new girlfriend and all), when you’re sitting in that theatre and the lights go down and the music starts, it’s impossible to deny…
The 400th MSG Review You’ve Read
Written by Melynee, Amanda, Michelle You know, we’ve all read a million and one reviews of *NSYNC’s Live from Madison Square Garden concert, and probably so have you. Is that going to stop us from rambling on about it? Hell…
Icon: God Bless Janet Jackson Remakes
Can’t you see my desire? No, and I think this is my problem. I can’t. I’ve received numerous wordless phone calls and wordy emails on how hot The Boys are. How awesome the song is. How hot The Boys are.…
The Justified Round-Up
Our little Justin Timberlake is all grown up! He’s gone and made a solo album just like everyone said he would! But is this kid Justified? We rounded up some people and issued this challenge: One album, three paragraphs. Justin’s…
So Close
First, I have to thank Shana for being wonderfully evil. After deciding that we needed to go on Sunday, she managed to snag us two lovely seats. Then when I brought up that Melynee and Amanda didn’t have tickets for…
On the Lance
The closer we get to the wide release of Lance and Joey’s acting debut, On the Line, the more nervous I get. An *NSYNC fan’s road is a long one, fraught with peril. One must budget carefully for the purchase…
Would You Be So Nice to Me
…if I wasn’t a celebrity? Well, hons, I probably wouldn’t *squeeee* over you, or get happy for you when you’re given flowers, but, yeah. I’d be nice to you. I’m generally nice to everybody. Unless you piss me off. Or…
Justin’s Letters to His Garbage Can
It shouldn’t need to be said, but when Amy and Michelle get bored… well, it isn’t good. Inspired by the work of art that is known in the PopGurls-verse as the Lucy song, we’ve done some digging, yo, and we…
Your Required Celebrity Breakdown
It is with a profound sense of shame that I admit that, um, IdonotyetowntheimportversionofCelebrity. I know, I know. What the hell am I thinking? How can I truly call myself a popgurl? Oh, but it gets worse: I’ve missed all…
Shiny, Happy, Dancing Boys
Melynee and I planned long ago the moments when we would cry during our first *NSYNC show. For her, it would be the moment of anticipation, when the music is building and the crowd is left waiting for The Boys…
The Great Lucy Debate
From: Michelle Subject: RE: RE: RE: joey says, “HOLD THE PICKLE!” Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 11:35:36 – 0600 (EST) …And I lovers Amanda, because she lent me the first *NSYNC CD to listen to. And I’ll probably burn it…
*NSYNC UNO Doesn't *Nsuck
I have long since held that I’m not the worst of the gurlies for one fact (okay, more than one fact, but this is my favorite): I do.not.buy.myself.*NSYNC.toys. Yes, I admit to purchasing a Teen Beat or two – but…
Icon: They've Created a Monster
So, I’m sort of having a crisis of faith, here. I just watched *NSYNC on MTV’s “Icon” tribute to Janet Jackson. And it left me shaking and not quite weeping and completely out of control. This disturbs me to no…
Angry!Bitter!Boys Make Me Sigh
*NSYNC – Relatively chipper, with huge doses of sap!SYNC. No Strings Attached – Multirange Stalker!SYNC. Celebrity – Angry!Bitter!SYNC. I, uhm, like angry!bitter!sync. A lot. More than I should like an angry!bitter!album from boys who have more money than God. (And…
Death by Icon
Yeah, so, I’m kind at a disadvantage here, because it’s the next day. Because, well, you know. You’re watching the video. The. Fucking. Video. The night before. And you suddenly forget to breathe. Like, really, truly, all of a sudden…
*NSYNC: A Post-Modern Love Story
In the illustrious tradition of Jane Magazine’s “It Happened To Me”, popgurls presents… Exercises in Humiliation. Or, *NSYNC: A Post-Modern Love Story. I blame genetics. My cousin Laura, six years younger than me, was the first. We were merciless, my…
Big Boys, Small Screen
I saw the Pop Odyssey concert six times in person, so it’s understandable that I would have doubts about the Pop Odyssey concert video. When you’re sitting so close to the stage that Joey notices you’ve had the same seats…
Desperately Seeking BGL
I’ve seen three *NSYNC shows this tour, and written three different reviews. It’s all Lance’s fault. And being a writerly-type person, I don’t easily give up on stuff I’ve written. So let’s just pretend that everyone in the ‘net world…
Just Drive, She Said
Written by Amy, Amanda VH1’s latest Driven episode, featuring *NSYNC, was both a three-hankie weeper and a revelation (despite barely scraping the surface of the group’s history). Chances are that it left husks of broken fans across the country, huddled…
Flying Solo, Take 2
I was doing so well. A year in exile at a theater in Pennsylvania had me completely out of the *NSYNC loop. Even after my release into the wilds of pop culture in March, a combination of shockingly slow Internet…
Falling
Where to begin? I should start off with the obligatory “Melynee is the devil.” Should. Because it’s all her fault. But, oddly enough, Amanda once had the audacity to blame moi for the *NSYNC hellhole we have fallen into. I’m…
