Backstreet’s Howie D makes solo debut

Backstreet Boys star Howie Dorough has become the final member of the boyband to launch a solo career - he’s set to release his debut album in November.

The singer, who is currently on a joint Backstreet Boys/New Kids On The Block tour, is putting the finishing touches to Back To Me and he hopes the tracks will show fans the “full range” of his vocal abilities.

Nick Carter Says NKOTBSB Are Athletes

Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter insists the rigours of touring with New Kids On The Block have turned him and his bandmates into true athletes.

Carter, who has adopted a meat-free diet for the two boybands' first collaborative tour, admits he has developed a new respect for New Kids star Danny Wood, who goes to great lengths to maintain his fitness levels on the road.

And the Backstreet's Back singer/dancer admits he's now going all out to make sure he can keep up with the other guys on tour.

He tells Cnn, "Danny's the epitome of physicality. He's in great shape.

"I feel like we're athletes. I think that we're up there kicking butt. We're giving it our all; we have to run up and down a stage that's the length of a basketball court... and I think we're doing a really good job."

Lance Bass Is Creating a Boy-Band Reality Contest Show

Lance Bass: reality producer extraordinaire. When we chatted with him at last night's Persol Magnificent Obsessions exhibition and party, he told us that he just sold six reality shows, including one to VH1. "It's a really great music show, starring all your favorite boy bands. It's going to be really fun," Bass says. "I got a member from Backstreet Boys, A.J. McLean. A member from *NSYNC, Joey Fatone. A member from New Kids on the Block, Joe McIntyre. And a member from New Edition, Bobby Brown. They're all going to form a boy band, each, from the most talented guys in America that I've scouted, and then they'll go head-to-head in a competition to see who the best band is, so it's bragging rights for the guy in the group, for sure." Well, almost: Bass admits that Brown hasn't officially signed on yet. "I think Bobby will do it," Bass says. "I think he'd love it."

Music Video: Howie Dorough - "100"

‘The Edge of Glory’ Video Director Announced

Lady Gaga poised to sail past 1 million on Billboard 200 next week

She worked hard for every single copy sold, but it looks like Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” will join the rarified club of artists whose album sells more than 1 million copies in its opening week.

Original predictions were that “Born This Way” would move around 800,000 copies, but that was before Amazon sold it for 99 cents for two days. The promotion, as troubled as it was by some downloading problems, will help send the album over the 1.15 million mark, predicts Billboard. The last artist to surpass the mark was Taylor Swift with "Speak Now" last fall.

Brad Paisley’s “This Is Country Music” comes in at second place on the Billboard 200 with sales of around 155,000, meaning Adele’s “21” slips to third place, but still tops the 100,000 mark.

In addition to Lady Gaga and Paisley’s sets, five other titles bow in the top 10: “Glee Cast: Vol. 6” flies in at No. 4 with sales of around 80,000; Maybach Music Group Presents: Self Made, Vol. 1,” a collection of artists on Mayback, debuts at No. 6. The co-joined New Kids on the Block and Back Street Boys combo comes in at No. 7, as NKOTBSB's self-titled setis poised to sell around 40,000.

Journey and Walmart prove the strength of both brands as “Eclipse” starts at No. 8, despite being available only at the mass marketer. Up-and-coming Los Angeles band Foster the People benefits from a long, well-developed set-up by Columbia Records as “Torches” begins its chart life at No. 9 with sales of 30,000. Mumford & Sons’ “Sigh No More” hangs in there at No. 10, moving around 30,000 copies.
