今年，(最)ⁿ開心的事，就是我盼了十年的BSB終於終於來台灣了!!!
我也終於親眼看到他們，親自體驗了他們的演唱會!!! 
回想起去年的這個時候，才剛知道他們確定會來台灣，
帶著那種興奮、期待的心情，跨過了2007年。
而2008/03/01、03/02、03/03這三天所得到的感動、快樂，將會永遠陪伴著我。
除此之外，因為BSB，讓我認識了一群同好，這是我第二件開心的事。
涼風、靖詒、小不點、Elfina、Trixie、Erin、Kate、Lisan，因為有妳們，所以我可以放膽的瘋狂追星。
不僅我家裡人覺得我瘋了，我也覺得我瘋了!
但因為有妳們，所以我可以徹底的瘋，可以不顧一切的瘋。
謝謝妳們喲~我真的是太愛妳們啦~~

第三件讓我開心的事，就是我順利的畢業啦~~~
而且我的碩士論文算是做得很完整囉~
都已經打算要寫成paper投稿了~
對了~還有就是畢業後我也馬上就有工作....
但還是沒離開實驗室啦~就是直接當了助理...繼續補一些Data~
等2009年，就差不多要發出去了....
希望可以發到不錯的期刊，幫老師衝衝點數~~

第四件事，莫過於金鐘影后由林依晨拿下!!
(怎麼開心的事都跟藝人有關咧.....)
今年的金鐘獎，是我最期待的三金頒獎典禮。
因為偶像劇當道，入圍金鐘影后的人選有四個都是偶像劇熱門女主角。
雖然四位我都滿喜歡的，但最愛的還是依晨啦~~
而且她又是以惡作劇2吻入圍，加上這是2吻唯一入圍的獎項，
所以我更加的希望這個獎由她替惡作劇劇組抱回去~!
當得獎公布的那一剎那，我大大聲的尖叫~真的是既開心又爽快!!
真的替依晨開心，也替惡作劇劇組開心!!

再來，我終於真正的去到現場看到了依晨跟元暢了。。。。
其實，這兩位演員，我說真的並沒有非常非常的瘋狂喜歡....
但我卻是真的很喜歡他們演的戲，不管是依晨的，還是元暢的，我都喜歡。。。
為了一次可以見到他們兩個，所以...在這次我的億萬麵包簽名會，我去了。。。
第一次親眼看見他們，第一次去這種簽名會，第一次買戲劇周邊商品，第一次跟他們握手。
好多第一次都獻給他們啦XDDDD

其他，還有好多開心的事....
8月去了天母棒球場看兄弟象的球賽(雖然台灣職棒讓人失望，但現場看球賽的體驗真的很棒)。。。
8月去了新店豪宅跟BSB同好聚會，還看到了惡作劇2吻中的小江家。。。
9月去了花蓮玩三天(去花蓮我已經想很久很久了...)。。。
10月多家裡整修，12月時我終於有自己的房間，可以放自己想放的飾品，自己想掛的海報。。。

應該還有其他開心的事...只是一時間想不起來~
不過這一年，我過得真的很豐富。。。
今年有很多事都是我以前沒做過的....在這一年裡，我通通完成了。。。
其實很不想跟2008年say goodbye，但是沒有辦法。。。
所以，我會把2008植入我的腦袋裡，把這一年的精彩回憶好好的收藏的心裡~~!!

希望明年，也會是精彩的一年~
希望BSB可以快快再來台灣，
期待元暢的舞台劇在台灣演出，
期望我的論文可以發到好的paper，
期望自己可以找到穩定的工作。。。

今天，可以替2008年畫下一個Happy Ending嚕~!!

Dec 24th, 2008

It’s been a trying week for singer Brian Littrell and his family following the hospitalization of his son Baylee and the six-year-old’s subsequent diagnosis with atypical Kawasaki’s Syndrome, an inflammation of the arteries around the heart.

Not only have Brian and his wife Leighanne had to deal with this personal matter, they’ve had to do so in the media spotlight, which often gets details wrong in the rush for a juicy bit of news.

“There were a lot of stories going around, a lot of wrong information on what was going on,” Leighanne tells OK! in an exclusive interview. “I had heard stories that his heart had hardened or people thought he had cancer, and I just didn’t want it to get so blown up.

But it’s not just the press that’s been wrong with the details of Baylee’s story. According to Leighanne, before doctor’s reached the Kawasaki’s conclusion, the boy had been diagnosed with everything from strep throat to hand, foot and mouth disease.

One small positive thing Leighanne is taking away from the massive media interest in Baylee’s condition is that it’s a chance to educate people about the facts and fictions surrounding Kawasaki’s. “What I’d like to do is talk to some people about what we went through and make parents aware of our steps and actions so that maybe their kid won’t get misdiagnosed.”

Now that Baylee is home for the holidays, the Littrells are attempting to get back to a normal life. “We’ve had probably the craziest six days of our entire life and I hope that that’s the worst it gets,” says Leighanne. “Baylee’s just running around in his Batman costume and he’s feeling so much better and his attitude is fantastic.”

Of course, all this distress has taken its toll on the actual gift-giving part of Christmas, something the Littrells are trying to make up for now. “We’re trying to order a Santa because we’ve been in the hospital for so long,” she tells OK!. “We didn’t get to shop or anything because we were in the hospital so now we’re shopping last-minute for all his family members.”

So what do Brian and Leighanne want to see under their tree on Thursday morning? Just their little boy. “We’re literally thanking every minute of every day because it’s actually the best Christmas present we’ve ever gotten.”

Be sure to pick up the next issue of OK! for the entire story of little Baylee’s battle.

【聯合報╱記者項貽斐／綜合報導】

     「新好男孩」成員布萊恩的6歲兒子傳出罹患罕見疾病「川崎病」，在經過治療後已於20日出院，
不過未來數周仍將繼續觀察，以確定治療是否有效。

The Littrell Family

For those of you who do not know or have not heard, Baylee Litrell has been in the hospital for the past few days. He will be starting a treatment this afternoon and the Littrell family asks that all Backstreet Boys fans please remember him in prayer during this trying time. Every little prayer helps and every single prayer counts! Brian and Leighanne would also like to wish you all Happy Holidays and to thank for your thoughts and prayers....

Baylee生病了...但是官網沒說明生了什麼病...
但感覺有點嚴重耶....都住院好幾天了....
Baylee加油!!要快快好起來喔~
不要讓爸爸媽媽擔心~
我們這些Fans也在替你祈福喔!!
God bless you~!!

之前...很喜歡惡作劇系列....
特別愛惡作劇2吻...但是我也沒有去追星....
可能...沒有先例吧....
(所以追BSB也替我開了追星之路XDDD)

錯過了暢晨的兩部戲的簽名會...
我想...三度合作了...我不能再錯過了~
所以下定決心...一定要去一次簽名會~~
(做其他事都沒有這個有決心>"<)
原本是想去士林的首映會....但是無奈沒時間+沒勇氣~XDD

11/29當天早上到了台北車站前的會場...我很幸運的排到很前面~
來參加的影迷真的是非常的多呀!!
還有人凌晨四點就來排隊了....真的很超拼的~
除此之外，還有從日本、韓國、香港來的影迷.....
(應該都是小綜迷~~果然在日韓超人氣...已經晉升為師奶殺手啦XDD)

時間到了早上11點，依序開始買周邊商品了....
買完後再次排回舞台前，我剛好站在正中央呢~~
所以元暢跟依晨一定可以距離我很近!!!(超開心~~)
在主持人(據說他的外號叫福伯?!)不斷炒熱場子之下
時間一下子就過了....
在演員到達現場前...還發生了小小插曲...
第一呢，就是我們在同一片天空中看到了三架戰鬥機飛過
(這...平常根本看不到吧~!! 真的是太神奇了~~
不過我來不及...只拍到兩架飛機...另外一架已經飛出我可以拍到的視線了)

第二呢，因為當天風太大..結果舞台後方的大屏幕海報不敵風吹向後倒了=.="
ㄟ都...這....還挺好笑的XDD  因為倒下的當下造成現場一片驚呼....不過其實沒什麼事啦...
就扶起來就好....
(之後為了避免再次被風吹倒...工作人員拿著美工刀，在布幕上畫V，讓風可以透過去，就不會再倒啦~)

眾演員在大家的期盼下，大約在下午1點15分左右到場....但唯獨小綜還沒到~
可能是今天早上才剛從深圳趕回來台北...還來不及跟全部演員一起過來吧~
(11/27、11/28是小綜第一部舞台劇的首演喔!!)
已經到場的演員，一一的打招呼，訪問。。。
當依晨聽到有影迷凌晨四點就來時，露出心疼的表情....
  

沒多久...小綜就搭著保母車出現啦~~
一到現場  主持人就要小綜以日文、韓文、廣東話跟現場的日本、韓國、香港Fans問好~
當然還有用台語以及國語跟台灣的Fans問好囉!!(日本跟韓語沒拍到^^")
 
(小綜的日文真的越講越棒了耶^^)
                                                                               
後來主持人開始跟各演員訪問，還沒訪問到小綜時，就看到小綜一直跟依晨在講話，而且  一直說"好冷"
小綜今天穿超少的  衣服很薄....
不過小綜有秘密武器---在褲子口袋裡放暖暖包~~
                                                                               
中間..常常看到依晨跟小綜兩個人在講話
證據在此....
 

這兩個人一直一直在講話....
不過依晨比較乖...還會聽一下主持人在訪問其他人的內容
這位小綜先生呢...則是不斷的向台下放電擺pose比YA....滿足眾影迷想拍照的慾望XDDD

訪問告一段落後...就玩遊戲了~吃貝果比賽!!
小綜胸前掛貝果  依晨要把它吃完
結果吃太慢，主持人說可以請同組的人幫忙...
所以後來依晨就把貝果咬起來  要小綜把它吃掉
(這段當然也引起現場的驚聲尖叫!! 主持人太強啦...徹底抓住影迷的心XDDD)
這段超棒的啦!!!!請看影片....
 
                                                                               
遊戲結束就到了拍照and媒體聯訪
媒體聯訪時都聽不到他們在說什麼
不過有些從嘴型可以大致上猜到在說什麼
好像有問到小綜舞台劇的事情...
                                                                               
聯訪結束 就到了簽名會的時間拉!!
今天簽的東西只有寫真書和文件夾
簽名順序是黃文星、張家慧、張睿家、林依晨、鄭元暢
一上台，黃文星簽完名後都超親切的抬頭看著我們說謝謝
(所以我也很開心的跟他說謝謝~文星真的很有親和力耶!!!而且老實說...他本人還滿帥的~憨厚老實的帥)
不過跟家慧還有睿家就都沒啥互動到
(不知道他們是不是怕來不及簽完名...都很認真的在簽名)
輪到給依晨簽名 她也是笑笑的看著我
我有點傻掉XDD  她太美了>/////<
不過我有記得在簽完名跟她握手喔!!
雖然我沒有跟她講話(因為我有點呆掉)
                                                                               
最後，到小綜的面前，我說話了!!
我跟小綜說...恭喜你舞台劇很成功喔!!
(其實我想了很久...到底要跟他說什麼? 因為實在不想什麼都沒說就下台。
而最新最近的事情就是舞台劇了...所以~就恭喜他舞台劇受到好評囉!!)
他很開心的看著我說謝謝...
當然我也有跟他握到手啦>/////<
(他的手好大XDDD  而且他握手超有誠意的啦~整個手握住耶  哈哈  好害羞>///<)
                                                                               
簽完名之後，下了台還贈送我的億萬麵包原版海報以及一個馬可先生的麵包耶~
今天真的是非常的豐收XDDD
這是麵包↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
 
這是今天的戰利品
簽名書↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
 

簽名文件夾↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
 

買寫真書贈送的新版海報↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
 

不過...因為演員都在簽名...在台下也看不到什麼
再加上我也還有點工作要做....所以我簽完名之後...就先走了~
雖然沒能待到最後結束...
但今天還是超~~~~~開心!!!
終於真的讓我看到小綜跟依晨了....
今天依晨終於眾望所歸的拿下金鐘影后....
希望明年這部戲也可以入圍....小綜也有機會拿影帝喔!!!
加油加油!!

Although he’s been sober for six years, A.J. McLean still likes to get high.

Known as the baddest Backstreet boy, McLean struggled with his addictions to drugs and alcohol throughout his longtime career with the Grammy-nominated pop group, but decided to clean up his act to be able to fill his insatiable need to perform.

“My life was kind of going downhill real fast. I was losing everything,” he said.

But getting clean and getting back to work was the best medicine he could have taken.

“It’s been so nice and positive to get out on stage and do the songs and see the faces of the fans — that right there is the best drug I could ever take, ever in my life.”

McLean and fellow Backstreet Boys Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough are getting their fix on tour promoting their sixth album, Unbreakable, sans original member Kevin Richards.

After the last album, Never Gone in 2006, and 13 years performing with the Backstreet Boys, Richards quit the band to start a family.

Although supported by his “brothers,” McLean said it’s been awkward adjusting to life on stage without a fifth body, but he expects Richards to return.

“The door’s always open for him and I really do believe that he is going to come back,” McLean said.

“We’re going to wait until we start recording again, which will be very soon, and let him hear some of the music and see if he’s on the same page. And, if he is, then hop in and let’s do this.”

Dealing with that loss, however, isn’t the only thing the Backstreet Boys have been busy sorting out, which is reflected in their new, more mature sound.

“We’re not going to talk about the same old stuff. We’re going to talk about a real relationship or we’re going to talk about losing someone, touching on issues that are more realistic to guys our age,” McLean said, noting Carter is the only member of the group still in his 20s.

So why not just move on and leave the boy band behind?

“It’s one of those things where you don’t want to bite the hand that fed you for so long and you kind of have a certain loyalty,” McLean said, noting although all four remaining members of the band have pursued solo careers, the Backstreet Boys have no plans to break up.

“Can we do it?” he asked.

“Absolutely, but I don’t think any of us ever really want to do that.”

Ironically, McLean is currently working on his debut solo album and did some shows on his own while the band was on tour in Europe earlier this year.

More “funk, rock, soul,” he said his solo stuff is very different from his work with the Backstreet Boys, as well as incredibly personal.

More of a realistic record, he said his yet-untitled debut will reveal a lot about his personal life, struggles and achievements.

“It’s definitely a different sound. A little edgier,” he said, comparing it to the pop sound he’s known for around the world.

Back with the boys, however, McLean is on the road now in Canada, where the group has been receiving rave reviews for its fun, energetic and entertaining live show.

The tour stops in Kamloops at Interior Savings Centre on Nov. 17.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster at all outlets, or by phone at 250-374-9200

從入圍名單公布，依晨獲獎的聲浪就很高，
當然，另一位締造偶像劇收視率的女星陳喬恩支持者也很多。。。
但是我非常非常非常私心的希望依晨可以獲獎。
為什麼呢?
第一，她已經出道多年，演過多部膾炙人口的經典好戲，
第二，說她旺夫之最，一點也不為過，只要跟她合作，男主角都會紅，ex元暢、小美、吳尊
第三，演技，無人能敵!每個角色都差別很多，雖然都屬於非成熟類型的角色，但各個角色的落差還是很大，
ex我的祕密花園的范小敏and惡作劇的笨蛋湘琴。

入圍名單裡面，除了柯素雲姊姊之外，我想只有她最具資格吧!
(純粹是個人想法>>
其他入圍者，我也都喜歡看他們的戲，丞琳的換換愛、韶涵的公主小妹、喬恩的命中註定我愛你，我都有看。
她們演的也都很棒，
相信這次入圍，給她們也很大的鼓勵，
下次金鐘，也許她們就是下一個影后。

頒獎典禮，唉....
頒發最佳女主角的兩位頒獎人真的令我傻眼加錯愕
不過，當聽到頒獎人說"恭喜林依晨"
我真的是瞬間大聲尖叫，把旁邊的人都嚇了一大跳，
我還激動到偷偷留下感動的眼淚。。。
(哈哈XD)

"恭喜林依晨以惡作劇2吻獲得戲劇節目女主角獎，
準確演繹出一個簡單的女孩卻有著不簡單的個性，
多層次的表演讓每個經歷的階段都富有變化。"

從依晨上台，招手示意元暢上台，在台上等待元暢上台後開始致謝。
小綜說"我要當林依晨的支柱，因為我們惡作劇2吻，
今天來到現場的演員只有我們孤軍奮戰，妳為惡作劇2吻那下這個獎，恭喜恭喜!!"

台下的鼓譟，"親一下親一下。。"  "那個待會兒再說。。。"

"很感謝主辦單位，感謝各位評審。然後，該說的還是要說，
感謝八大電視台，賴副總，芷涵姊，所有幕後辛苦的企宣人員，以及惡作劇全體的工作人員，
尤其是瞿友寧導演，沒有你，沒有我，當然也包括所有教導過我的導演，謝謝你們。
我的經紀人，周美豫小姐，謝謝妳，沒有妳，也沒有我。
當然還有小綜。。。"
"我也要謝謝妳"(台下繼續鼓譟)
"等一下，你在醞釀嗎?等一下，我還沒好。。。"
"我拿到這個獎，老實說滿意外的，因為這是續集的電視劇，那老實說自己也是平常心看待；
不過，在我生命當中，有人跟我說過，當演員的使命是要帶領觀眾去看到更深層的人性，
我也極力希望自己能夠做到這一點；還有，我相信台下的各位，大家跟我們一樣都是用生命演出，
用生命在表演的，所以我們絕對不只可以做到像今天這樣，謝謝大家，謝謝你們。"

"老婆，我可以親哪裡????"

"鎖骨!"

"鎖骨?!"(你是很興奮嗎，鄭先生XDD)

"有點下面哦~"

本日最經典的甜蜜對話XDDD

這對螢幕情侶，不公開在一起沒關係，可以來段地下情，結婚再公開都可以!!就是要在一起啦~~
這樣絕對是影迷們樂見的喲!!

真的超開心，惡作劇2吻雖然只入圍這麼一項，但也抱走了這一個大獎!!
瞿導，謝謝你導了這個系列，讓我們影迷可以有這麼優質好戲可以品味。
雖然，你沒有入圍最佳導演，但，
在影迷心中，你早就是最佳導演了，
我們期待，你說的惡作劇電影版喔!!

也期待依晨能夠更上一層樓，
出演更多更棒的作品，繼續加油。。。
過了金鐘獎，就當作從零開始，
歸零歸零，依晨說得真好呢!!

這場比賽，是我生平第一次，到棒球場看比賽。
以前也是個象迷，但，跟一般球迷相比，我只是小小小小的球迷。
因為不會，也沒錢，可以到球場看比賽。
只是在電視機前，看看而已。
但是，這是好久以前的事情囉。

大概是國高中的時候了吧。
大學就完全沒有在關心棒球比賽，倒是比較愛看排球比賽。
因為我自己超愛打排球的啦。。。
一直到王建民的崛起，才讓我再次關注棒球。
只是，不再是中華職棒，而是美國職棒。。。

這次因為實驗室學長姊的關係，大家相約要去看兄弟象比賽。
實驗室的人都是象迷呢。。。
因為這個半準決賽在台北只有一場比賽，所以售票開始前，就已經standby了。
那個售票的元氣系統，實在是。。。。。。不是普通的爛耶!
但好加在，我們還是成功的買到票了。
中午開賣，才過一個多小時吧(搞不好不到)，兄弟象這半邊的票就賣光光哩。。。
果然兄弟象的支持者還是超多呀!!

時間來到這個系列賽的第一場and第二場，
兄弟象都順順利利的拿下勝利。
眼看第三場可能就成為兄弟象晉級冠軍賽的最後一場比賽啦~
這使我格外的興奮。。。。。。

星期日，下午兩點，從家裡出發到永安市場捷運站，搭了捷運，前往芝山站。
途中，看到有人穿了"石志偉"的簽名球衣，嗯。。。這個人是LaNew的。。。
途中，看到有人穿了"Elephant"籃底黃字的T恤，嗯。。。這個人是兄弟的。。。

芝山站，有棒球接駁車，果然人很多。。。
於是我懶得跟大家擠接駁車，所以故意走到對面，去搭大葉高島屋的接駁車。。。
到了大葉高島屋，過個馬路，對面就是棒球場啦。。。
於是在大葉高島屋的超市買了點東西，就速速進場拉。

果然，人好多呀。。。。。。。
攤販，也好多呀。。。。。。。
第一次進到棒球場，什麼都很鮮，琳瑯滿目的食物，外加擁擠的人群。。。
到了我的位置，找到已經到場的學姊。
看到她手上的啦啦棒，我才知道我錯過了賣啦啦棒的攤位。。。
於是趕緊出去找，一定要買個啦啦棒來過過癮嚕。看著大家都穿黃色的衣服，拿著黃色的板子，搖著黃色的旗子，敲著黃色的棒子，
兄弟呀兄弟，這麼多球迷在幫你們加油，你們可得真的加油呀!!

五點了，球員進場，準備開球，拍照，緊張又刺激的比賽就此展開。。。。
在此之前，球迷早已鼓譟萬分，連在LaNew的區塊都有兄弟的球迷在。
比賽開始，兄弟象在第一局就攻下破蛋首分。
但是第二局一開始，在投手丹尼不穩的狀態下，反倒是被LaNew一舉攻下兩分。
BUT!!兄弟並非省油的燈啊!
馬上在二局下，追平比數。。。
並在三局下，發動猛烈的攻勢，瞬間跑回4分，比數一下子就超前許多。
接下來，兄弟象像是有用不完的體力，局局有攻勢，局局都得分。
到了五局下，比數已經來到10:2了。。。
這個時候，外面已經開始在販售彩帶嚕。。。
可惜，等我知道要去買時，就賣完了。。。

在這幾局中間，LaNew先發投手張誌家，在投了兩局多，就因失分過多被換下場。
中間，也陸陸續續換了好幾個投手，連Closer都被換上來了。
我們開玩笑說，連Closer都上了，那之後誰來Close啊???
每次洪一中走上投手丘，象迷就開始鼓譟"不要換，不要換"
真的覺得球迷的一些術語，動作，很好玩，
例如，"彭政閔，全壘打，彭政閔，全壘打，彭~政~閔~，全~壘~打~"
前兩次是敲啦啦棒，最後一次是雙手把啦啦棒舉起來向前晃三下。
最好玩的就是，在內野區的兩邊最外側，都是象迷，
雙邊球迷互喊加油，真的是超有趣的，也超團結的啦。。。

這場比賽，九局上，兩出局，打擊者2好球，
投手投出下一球，打擊者揮出去，內野滾地，
想必要被刺殺在一壘之前了吧。。。。
象迷忍不住興奮，彩帶紛紛拋了出去，
囧了~~他安全上壘耶。。。。。
放槍放槍啦。。。。。。。。。。
雖然身為象迷，應該覺得可惜，但我還是覺得超好笑!!!

不過兄弟象還是沒給我們球迷失望啦。。。
雖然中間有點小亂流，但最後還是給了LaNew一個"再見三振"，
送走LaNew，抱走冠軍賽門票。
球迷興奮，拋出粉黃色的彩帶。。。
球員更興奮，一罐罐啤酒往各球員身上倒，倒的滿地都是酒罐(這樣要清也很累耶。。。。)
但是難掩的興奮總是要發洩一下囉!!!

我真是太幸運啦。。。
第一場棒球賽，就看到拋彩帶。。。
每每這種場面，只能在電視上看到呢，
現在竟然親身經歷，超開心的。。。
在第一次拋錯彩帶時，撿到了別人不小心整捲掉下來的彩帶，所以第二次拋彩帶，我有拋到哦~哈哈。。

要回家的時候，還遇到兄弟象的球隊坐的遊覽車。
那位恰恰先生，你很故意哦!!
大家都在尋找你的身影，你就故意躲起來，
到了車子要開動，才晃一下出來揮揮手，
你不知道大家會很失望嗎。。。。

不過還是很開心，
雖然中華職棒早已蒙上一層假球陰影，
但其實這只是少數吧，大部分球員還是很認真，很努力的打球，
他們的努力，還是需要球迷的支持嚕~
加油!中華職棒!!

兄弟象加油!!
等你們拿總冠軍喲!!!

"There are a lot of misconceptions out there," says founding member Nick Carter, laughing. "People think we broke up or are returning after some time off."

In fact, other than a two-year hiatus that ended in 2004, the band has continued to record and tour steadily. After 13 years with the group, Kevin Richardson quit in 2006 to pursue other interests. He's composing the soundtrack for an animated movie, "The Spirit Bear."

Misconceptions aside -- and despite the make-nice comments to other media outlets -- Carter says Richardson's departure was a good thing.

"Kevin just wasn't into recording [the 2005 album] 'Never Gone' in a creative way. There were disagreements on every direction the band was taking, and he left because he realized he was hurting the group," Carter says. "With him gone, there don't seem to be as many conflicts, we aren't bumping heads anymore and things are flowing better musically."

Though the remaining members have repeatedly told the press Richardson is welcome back any time, Carter says he's not so sure.

"The dynamic of the band has changed," he says. "There can be no room for doubt -- four is the strongest. We are the Backstreet Boys."

The band formed in 1992. Richardson's cousin Brian Littrell came aboard in 1993. The Boys' first U.S. release was 1997's self-titled album, which delivered several huge hits, including "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," "As Long as You Love Me" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

The band's biggest success to date was 1999's "Millennium," which sold more than a million copies in its debut week and was that year's top-selling album. Hits from that include "I Want It That Way," "Larger Than Life" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely."

The band has had to re- establish itself as a quartet. The group's last album, "Unbreakable," was the first recorded without Richardson. It sold 81,000 in its first week but dropped out of Billboard's Hot 100 two weeks later.

"Working hard to prove ourselves isn't something we aren't familiar with," the 28-year-old says. "On the one hand, radio stations aren't playing us as much as they used to, but then again we know how it feels to see something begin to build again."

Carter knows a little bit about rebranding, having spent the last two years doing damage control after appearing on the 2006 reality series "House of Carter." The E! show featured the singer sharing a house with other members of his family. It didn't show him in the most flattering light.

"I was thrown into the whole reality TV world before I should have been. I had issues I had to go through and, unfortunately, I went through them on television," he says.

The camera frequently caught the Carter clan's dysfunction and disputes. Watching himself on the small screen was a wake-up call for Carter to finally grow up.

"I saw myself on television in an unhealthy state, both physically and mentally. It opened my eyes," he says. "I stopped drinking. I got back in shape. It took me two years, but I've changed my life around."

The Backstreet Boys return to the recording studio this fall. Carter hopes the new album, due out in the second half of 2009, will feature a more urban pop sound.

"I'm not sure if we got ahead of or fell behind our fans, but we are paying close attention to current music, and the next album is going to reflect that," Carter says. "We want to be played on Top 40 stations. If adult contemporary radio wants to play us, that's great, but we consider ourselves a pop band."
