I went to the taping of '8 Simple Rules', it was hillarious and I had one hell of time. I didn't get out until 10:30pm, it ran for almost 4 hours. The crew had to reshoot scenes over and over and over. Many outakes and bloopers, even by Nick. I cannot wait until it airs, all around I was impressed by his acting ability. My favorite scene was when they were in the garage, he uncapped a bottle of soda and was like "Hey I won a free hat!...wait no I didn't" During the break he kept
throwing a Nerf ball around the set with one of the actors. He wore several layers of clothing, a dark gray sweat shirt, and a red striped jacket over that, jeans, and I think his shoes had stars, polka dots, or flowers on them. At the end of the production, while he was munching
on catering I went up to him and said "Hey..." and shook his sweaty, warm hand. Damn it felt like he grabbed on...almost pulled me down. Camera's were not allowed, but there was a photographer on the set. I didn't have a pen or paper for an autograph, so I didn't bother w/that. Plus other girls wanted to get a piece of him, so I left. He looked like he was about to pass out, and wasn't the usual ball of energy. I didn't blame him, I felt that way too. He'll be taping next
Friday too.

Subject: Nick Carter to play Toronto

Backstreet Boy cutie/Justin Timberlake rival Nick Carter will be spending the latter part of the winter on his very first tour sans Kevin, A.J., Brian and Howie. Nickie will sweep through most major American cities and will make one lone Canadian stop in (you guessed it) Toronto. Backstreet devotees will get a chance to see Carter in the relatively intimate setting of the Kool Haus on February 26. Tickets go on sale this Friday (January 17) at 10 a.m. through all Ticketmaster outlets, Rotate This and Sonic Temple. Tix are going for a mere $25 — again, probably much less than you’d pay to see Nick play with the boys of Backstreet. We encourage all Carter fans to purchase their tickets at Rotate This. Carter is touring in support of his debut solo album, the recently released Now Or Never. The album has already caused its fair share of controversy and not just because it forced Carter to go head to head with *NSYNC’s Justin Timberlake, who also released his debut solo album, Justified, this fall. The album prompted the rest of the Backstreet Boys to launch a law suit against their label, Zomba, for focusing on Carter’s solo album rather than supporting the career of the full band. BSB are seeking release from their contract, plus $75 million. Zoinks! If Nick Carter is a little too mellow for your tastes, a classic metal double-bill, featuring Scorpions and Whitesnake (together at last!) will be swinging through T.O. on March 15. The veteran long-hairs will be joined by the equally experienced Dokken for what is promised to be a four-hour metal marathon. Tickets for the show, which’ll take place at the Air Canada Centre, also go on sale this Friday (January 17) at Ticketmaster.

Citing "scheduling conflicts" as the main reason, Nick has decided to cancel his appearances at the 2003 MTV Asia Awards and the regional press junket and showcase at Hard Rock Cafe. From the official press statement, the cancellation was due to a change in tour schedule for Nick and his band, making the six-day Singapore trip impossible. "I wish I could be in two places at once. I've been waiting to see my fans in Asia for so long and I'm working out a plan to get over there as soon as this tour is finished. My biggest regret is that I won't be able to make it to the MTV Asia Awards," said Nick in the press statement. Zomba Asia Pacific Director, Ryan Wright also commented: "Nick's sold-out concert tour, beginning four days after the awards, had to be moved forward for various immutable reasons. Although there will be many disappointed fans next week, Nick had to fulfill his commitment to this tour." -- LM

Hold on to your heartstrings - Nick Carter is hitting the road by himself. The Backstreet Boy has remained true to his expressed desire of playing smaller venues and will be serenading theatre-sized stages on his tour. Carter's debut solo venture launches February 17 and continues into March. With the release of Carter's solo debut album, Now Or Never, last fall and his subsequent tour, Backstreet fans are left pondering their beloved band's fate. Never fear - this is only a temporary break in the Boys' career. Backstreet are said to be working on a new album, with Carter included in the mix. In addition to branching out as a solo artist, Carter has taken to acting. He can be found on the NBC show "American Dreams" as the frontman of the ‘60s band Jay & The Americans.

Nick Carter will kick off his first solo tour in support of his debut Jive Records album, Now Or Never, on February 17. At 22, Carter is the youngest member of the Backstreet Boys, and he is the first member of the group to launch a solo career. His tour will visit small to midsize clubs and theatres in 17 U.S. cities, and it will continue into early March. Carter, who has played huge arenas and stadiums with the Backstreet Boys in the past, said that the intimate setting of his solo shows will allow for him to interact with his fans. "I wanna be dirty," Nick said. "I wanna be sweaty. I wanna be closer to fans. I wanna be so close to where I could like just touch them, you know what I'm sayin'? And you know, it's just instruments and a P.A. in a little club with a bunch of people who want to hear you, and if they like the music I'm going to give them one hell of a show." Carter's Now Or Never came out on October 29 and debuted at Number 17 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in early November. Tickets for Carter's tour are available via ticketmaster.com. Maverick Records sibling trio Justincase will join Carter on the road in
February. Brothers Justin Tosco and Nick Tosco and sister Hannah Tosco will be opening the shows February 17-25. "Nick's got, like, a two-part tour. The first part is a bunch of East Coast dates, and the next is a bunch of Midwest dates, and we're doing all of the East Coast dates during, like, the second week in February," Justin told LAUNCH. "We're really psyched about that--it should be great!" - Jason Gelman, New York

Last month, I posted that Nick would be performing at the AMAs on January 13th. On the AMas site, there is no mention of Nick at all. I am trying to find confirmation of this supposed appearance. However, he IS scheduled to be at the MTV Asia Awards on January 24th.
