Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Back in the early 2000s, the idea would have been sheer lunacy, but now, Backstreet Boys say they're open to doing a joint tour with *NSYNC one day. Speaking to PEOPLE (The TV Show!), Backstreet's Nick Carter said of the proposed pairing, "I think it would just be good for the nostalgic side of it, for the fans, if we did something like that." AJ McLean chimed in, "The fans would lose their mind[s]." Nick explains, "What's happening now is that we are realizing that we're the only ones that have gone through what we have together, and we relate to one another. It was a place in time, and our lives were very parallel. So, all this unity and coming together and all this love, it's really cool." The comments come after AJ teamed with *NSYNC's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone for a charity event last month, and after Joey, AJ and Nick -- along with Boyz II Men's Wanya Morris -- announced a four-night engagement in Las Vegas.

Ro.Lexx After debuting his single "New Normal" during Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Spaceflight earlier this month -- and performing it live for Branson and crew after they returned to Earth -- Khalid has officially released the song, as well as a music video. In addition, Khalid has announced his third album: It's called Everything Is Changing, which will be released this fall. It's now available for pre-order. ”'New Normal' was inspired by how I was feeling during the pandemic and the emotional toll that quarantine took on me and my friends," Khalid explains. "Everything Is Changing, as an album, really takes that a step further with all of the songs centering around trying to find a purpose and a sense of self in a world where everything is digitally connected but emotionally disconnected." "As we all come out of quarantine and venture more into the world and try to reconnect with people we haven’t seen in over a year, I hope the messages explored w..

Now get ready for Adam and his wife's new pink tequila. Adam and wife Behati Prinsloo are partners in CALIROSA, a tequila company, and have invested in its Mexico distillery "to help introduce the brand to the world," according to a press release.

Adam and Behati can both be seen on CALIROSA's Instagram feed but unless you know it's them, it's not entirely obvious that you're looking at the celebrity couple. Copyright ..

And when you have that special someone you can rely on, someone who can share in the good times and bad, it really gives you the sense that the two of you can take on anything.” Jess..

The tune -- which Lorde describes as a "rumination on getting older, settling into domesticity, and questioning if you've made the right decisions" -- follows in the acoustic-driven footsteps of the previously released Solar Power title track, though it's more of a ballad compared to its grooving, summer-loving predecessor. "I think lots of people start asking those questions of themselves around my age, and it was super comforting to me writing them down, hoping they'd resonate with others too," 24-year-old Lorde explains. "I used this song as a dumping ground for so many thoughts." You can download "Stoned at the Nail Salon" now via digital outlets. Its accompanying visualizer is streaming now on YouTube. Solar Power, Lorde's third album and her first in four years, is due out August 20. It's prod..
