The A.J. McLean who entered rehab for alcohol abuse and depression isn’t the real A.J. McLean, his mother says. Denise McLean, the Backstreet Boy’s mother, still calls her 23-year-old son “Alex,” and recalls that as a little boy, he dreamed of stardom. “A.J. is the bad boy, crazy boy on stage that… does, you know, makes all those pelvic thrusts and does all this stuff to drive the girls crazy,” she says in an interview with ABC News’ “20/20,” scheduled to air at 10 p.m. EDT Friday. “And A.J. is the one that got the tattoos, and A.J.’s the one… Read more »

A day after MTV’s 20th anniversary celebration, some people were nursing hangovers, but Busta Rhymes was feeling the kind of pain a cup of coffee wasn’t going to cure. Apparently old Bussa Bus injured his right leg during the show’s hip-hop medley. Gone was his usual regal swagger as he limped badly into Manhattan’s Hit Factory to play his new album, The Genesis, for a small group of guests that included his manager, Chris Lighty, and another of Lighty’s clients, Jo Jo Peligrino. “I feel so good right now,” Busta said with his usual animation. “This is the first album… Read more »

While lip-synching on a four-wheel Honda motor bike during his “Livin’ It Up” video shoot late last month, Ja Rule took a little time to count his blessings.

We made a record in like ’95, ’96. We did a song… Read more »
