Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.

Kele Okereke, the singer for Bloc Party, was attacked Saturday by Sex Pistols singer John Lydon.
Okereke approached Lydon as a fan, asking about a possible reunion of his post-Sex Pistols band, Public Image Ltd.
Okereke told the Guardian UK that Lydon then became “intimidating and aggressive while his entourage responded with a racist tirade, including the statement, ‘your problem is your black attitude’.” Okereke is of Nigerian descent.
Okereke was left with “severe facial bruising and a split lip” following the assault, but that wasn’t the worst part for him. “It’s not an issue of the physical assault, even though it was an unprovoked attack,” Okereke commented. “It is the fact that race was brought into the matter so readily. Someone as respected and as intelligent as Lydon should know better than to bring race into the equation, or socialise with and encourage those who hold such narrow-minded attitudes.
“I am disappointed that someone I held with such high regard turns out to be such a bigot.”
Several other bands witness the attack and stepped in on Okereke’s behalf.
British rockers BLOC PARTY could be forced to disappoint fans on their current UK tour due to drummer MATT TONG’s ongoing life-threatening respiratory condition.
The SO HERE WE ARE stars cancelled a series of gigs supporting PANIC AT THE DISCO in the US after Tong suffered a collapsed lung in November, and frontman KELE OKEREKE admits the band are searching for a stand-in musician in case Tong falls ill again.
He says, “It was a frightening moment, and the most worrying thing is there is a high chance it might occur again so we have to find a replacement for parts of the tour.
“We are keeping an eye on him and we have given up smoking, so thank goodness for that.”

The Mercury Prize jury described the album from the London-based band as ?edgy, exciting and assertive ? compelling rock songs performed with swagger.?
The band is also preparing their follow-up album to ?Silent Alarm.?
“We’ve written about 20 songs, and we’ll have more by the end of the year,? vocalist Kele Okereke told MTV. ?And we’re going to start next year off by recording a new album.
?We really can’t wait.”
