about this blog

  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Famous-people life is so glam, right? Straight G5-in', Bentleys, no waiting in line for anything, five-star dinners every night. Right? Please. That's so pre-economic downturn. These days, you gotta hustle.

Check out V Factory's brand-new tour blog for a look at how the boys hustle to make it happen.

And check back next week for a peek inside their hotel room. Also, um, is anyone else SO EFFING EXCITED for Fame!???

+ Plus: Bandemonium video diaries!

Bandemonium is done and gone, but the memories live on. Memories of gettin' goofy on Menudo's tour bus, playing "Mafia" with NLT, and lying with Mark & James.

In their fourth and final (sniff!) Buzzworthy tour diary, the guys man up, Boyz II Men style, and profess their love for Bandemonium in this greatest moments tour diary video.

Watch the video, and share your favorite Bandemonium memory. Plus, find out more about Bandemonium II, and check out our it-ain't-over-til-it's-over video tribute.

You already know the boys and bands of Bandemonium -- Mark & James, Menudo, NLT, and V-Factory.

So now, let's play a game of match-the-pre-show-ritual-to-the-Bandemonium-boy.

Activities include: feeding alligators, eating greens in the green room, running around in girls' clothing, spinning around in circles, spinning around on bar stools, not telling the truth, praying, and push-ups.

See who does what in Bandemonium's third tour diary clip below, and watch part 1 and part 2.

In Buzzworthy's second Bandemonium tour diary, VFactory's Nick and Asher employ vaguely European accents in an impression we can't quite place. (The road does strange things to people.) Plus, the guys get together for a powerhouse freestyle session involving rice and beans, and NLT kills time on the bus by playing a game of "Mafia" that has little to do with James Gandolfini or cement shoes.

Watch it below, and check out part 1 here.

Slide to the side, Chris Kirkpatrick. The boy bands of Bandemonium -- Menudo, NLT, and V Factory are going where no four boy bands have gone before together at the exact same time: the 17-gig Bandemonium tour.

They started out in Vegas, and they'll end in Orlando (home of the boy band). But in case you're not keeping up, they're currently rolling through the Midwest, spreading their infectious pop sounds, razor-sharp in sync dance moves, impressive hair and heavenly dimples along the way. They're also spreading goodwill through approachability -- and the occasional free ticket. But most importantly, they're sending Buzzworthy dispatches from the road.

In their first Buzzworthy tour diary, the men of Menudo take you on a tour of their bus -- highlights include where they write lyrics, where they heat up their pizza, and where they "get goofy" -- and hit up a local mall for some promotional love.
