Before One Direction, The Wanted and Big Time Rush, one of the hottest boy bands in the music scene was none other than 98 Degrees.
Making their reunion official on August 17 with a special performance on ‘TODAY’, the boy group consisting of Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons treated fans to live renditions of ‘The Hardest Thing’, ‘Because of You’, ‘I Do’ and ‘Invisible Man.’ The concert, marked the group’s first television appearance in over 10 years.
“In the 10 years since our last performance as 98 Degrees we’ve each achieved personal success and grown as individuals, while remaining a close-knit family,” the band said in a press release in July. “We have also been fortunate to have the support and enduring love of our fans every step of the way. With so much to celebrate, this reunion is going to be one big party, so whether you tune in to the ‘Today Show’ or join us at the MixTape Festival, everyone’s invited.”
EEEEEE! How exciting is this? As a 90s child, a 98 Degrees reunion will certainly bring back some nostalgic feelings. Now if only N Sync would get back together…that would just be the cherry on top.

So what do you do after your boy band days comes to an end? You become a Chippendales dancer of course – at least according to former 98 Degrees star Jeff Timmons.
PopEater reports that Jeff has actually extended his gig two times. Initially the job was supposed to end on June 5, and then it was pushed to June 19. However Jeff will continue dancing throughout the summer at the Rio hotel in Las Vegas.
With the music business in turmoil and royalty checks not being what they used to, musicians are having to find new ways to make a buck. Good on Jeff for being so “creative.”
98 Degrees ex-star Jeff Timmons has found a new role after singing. What is it? Well he is stripping at Chippendales in Las Vegas.
TMZ reports Timmons will be appearing at the Vegas club for a special 4 week run in May. No word if Nick Lachey will be joining him.
Good on Timmons for diversifying his resume. Nothing makes you more credible as an artist than a run at Chippendales.
