98 Degrees Webmaster Sounds Off On Critics

webmaster Devon sounded off on fans and critics of the group after his recent post refuting a news item submitted here by Mustangman9500 which questioned whether Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were truly a couple, as well as other fans who griped about the handling of the group’s publicity. Devon said, “No one asked me to post the message. I no longer work for , and have never been employed by their management or their label. In fact, my limited relationship with Universal has ranged from strained to terrible. I haven’t made a penny from doing this site since October 2001. I keep it up and running because I care about these guys and their fans.”

Devon explained further, “I spoke up about Nick because I was sticking up for my friend. This was completely different from responding without authorization to speculation about 98 Degrees’ career. It was a personal attack and I felt comfortable addressing it this one time. I don’t really care if you think it was appropriate or not.”

98 Degrees Webmaster Responds To Earlier Submission

After fans on official site message board discussed the item submitted here earlier today by Mustangman9500, the site’s webmaster, Devon responded to the allegations. Devon wrote, “I can tell you for a fact that whoever wrote that is full of 100% Grade-A CRAP.”

“I don’t usually comment on rumors and such, but this one is just too much. What disturbs me is that they went to such elaborate lengths to spew their lies and concocted enough ‘details’ that people might actually believe them.”

“Here is the truth: Nick and Jessica are for real, and they have been from day one. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. You can quote me on that.”

Help 98 Degrees By Knowing The Truth

Contributed by Mustangman9500:

Hello,

I am writing because I feel there is no where left to go with this and it needs to be said to the public before it’s too late. Magazines such as People, for example, I know will not listen because of certain situations and deals going on between companies. I will be straight forward with this before anything else can happen. I’m shocked no one has come out with this yet. I am a former employee of Universal Records. I do not wish to mention my name or in what department I worked in. I made the choice to leave there. I left Universal Records because I became very tired with some of the shady business that goes on there just as a lot of major and independent record labels. This is why I am taking a leave of absence from the music for a while.

Drew Lachey Insists 98 Degrees Have NOT Broken Up

of posted a message last Thursday on the group’s official site message board to strike down reports that the band have broken up. Drew said, “Hey everybody, I just want to apologize to you all. I didn’t know that we had broken up until I heard it on the radio. If you can’t tell, I’m joking. WE HAVE NOT BROKEN UP. I hope that will clear things up. We are however taking a break like I said before. Many doors have been opened up to us over the past couple of years and we want to take advantage of some of those. Don’t forget that Universal is releasing the ‘Collection’ CD in May. And the single ‘Why’ officially goes to radio on 3/12. We hope we can count on you guys to support this project with as much enthusiasm as you have in the past. Thanks for everything. I hope you like the new stuff. I do.”

Are Entertainment News Sites Really That Lazy?

When the Associated Press announced today the ‘news’ that announced they were taking an extended break, you really have to laugh about it. It was one month ago to the day I believe that this news was posted… then some AP lackey wanders over to the site likely looking for reaction to the Jessica Simpson engagement to member Nick Lachey and stumble onto this news… Then the gerbil-like entertainment sites feed off this old news. It just shows how reliant news is on press releases, not digging it up themselves on the artist’s websites.

The Rest Of The Questions With 98 Degrees Drew

Well we all know by now the big news of recently revealed about the group being on ‘extended break’, but he also answered a bunch of other questions, including his pick for best new artist for 2001. Drew said, “I believe as I’m sure many others do also that Alicia Keys was the best new artist. There is something to be said about an artist who can just sit behind a piano and captivate you. The best part is… she’s even better live.”
