Don't forget IN'SYNC, they met at the Franklin Avenue Best Buy in Orlando, FL.
I would definitely need some sort of article to back that up. I always assumed they first met in Lou Perlman's '86 Buick, scarfing down ill-offered Pixie Sticks.
Didn't J.C. Chasez and Justin work the Mickey Mouse Club together?
Boy, Mickey sure has a lot to answer for, eh?
Shalom, y'all!

them, Britney, Christina, Keri Russell... so much grief from one cable teenybopper show...
Wow, I didn't realize the Keri Russell connection. Thanks for the info...
Shalom, y'all!

Yes, and I think she was on around the same time as Britney, which is curious since Britney claims to be a lot younger...
