Teen Mags Losing Celeb Spark

March 5, 2005 - The New York Daily News reports that in the post teen-pop era, magazines catering to the age group have seen falling circulation and forced editors to look harder at the fashion and real-girl stories they put between the covers. “It’s not about the celebrity anymore,” declared Atoosa Rubenstein, editor in chief of Seventeen. “When teen celebrities were at a phenomenal pitch, the question was which magazine had different photos of *NSYNC this month. It didn’t matter what was inside.” Now, Rubenstein said, “unless the person on the cover is a loser, [the readers] do a flip through the magazine, and that’s the key to getting that sale.”

Where Are We Now: *NSYNC Fans

February 8, 2005 - Contributed Anonymously: I was fourteen years old, when I first saw *NSYNC. They were performing on the Disney channel and something inside of me knew I would never forget them. 4 months later I was a bonafide *NSYNC fanatic!!! Their concerts, albums, TV appearances and my constant daydreaming of them consumed my life!! My crazy love for 5 white boys increased after a year if you can believe but like anything else decreased after 5 months, 8months and then 2 years. I went through a *NSYNC detox. I will always love them because of there influence on me, and it was fun while it lasted! I also had an abusive childhood and loving them made me feel normal. So thank you to everyone but, Mr. Timberlake!! I spent almost 4 years loving, defending, praying and promoting him and he turns out to be the biggest dick that I could ever know of!!!! Acts as if he sooo sweet but when you meet him he’s a jerk, punks out on Janet Jackson stating “I don’t need this kind of publicity!” I hate that I spent all that time on him, but if I knew half of want he would become, I would have paid him no mind.
