- Brian bites his fingernails! "I’ve bitten them all my
life," adds the titchy BSB. "My mom was always like, ‘Get your fingers out
of your mouth.’ I’ve tried to stop and it’s something that bothers me. But
I still do it!"
- Nick’s Middle name is Gene!
- What do the lads do before they go on stage? They all have a
ritual prayer!
- Howie D has a big secret… "When I was younger, my dad
told me to clean up the backyard if I wanted to go out and play. So, I raked all the
leaves up, but didn’t know what to do with them. I really wanted to go out, so I just
threw them over the wall into our next-door neighbour’s yard. The thing was, the
woman from next door was standing right there and the leaves went all over her.
- Wanna hear another Backstreet Boys secret? Poor old AJ was onstage
when a fan threw him a bunch of red roses. The dancing devil knelt down to pick them up

Train. "Because when he’s on automatic pilot, he’ll just knock you
over," says AJ.

it sensibly spread on a Ritz cracker — with jam.

truckloads of the jelly fellas — he’s sick of ‘em. "I try to keep my
figure!"

the world first thing in the morning. "And when he gets in his nagging moods,"
says Howie, "he slaps you around the head!" Yikes!
- Hmm… How did the Backstreet Boys get their name? They were
named after a local shopping centre in their home town Tampa, Florida. "We never
actually decided on the name, we just started using it and it stuck!
