Joey Fatone tells Wonderwall that he was just joking when he told the Huffington Post the Backstreet Boys are touring again because “they just need the money.” BSB’s Nick Carter responded to the comment on Twitter, saying, “Just disappointed, I really liked Joey… I’m proud of who we are and love what we stand for. Truthfully its about not letting our fans down. Sorry bro but you have us all wrong.”

Speaking at KIIS-FM’s annual Wango Tango concert at the StubHub Center in Carson, California earlier this month, the *NSYNC star clarified, “It was all a joke. It was all nothing but my sense of humor.” As for Carter’s hurt feelings, Joey said, “Nick is awesome. He’s great and the minute it happened, I sent him a text and said, ‘You know I’m joking, right?’ And he said, ‘I actually played into it.’ I didn’t think it was going to come out the way it did.”

Joey Fatone: Everyone Would Have To Be On Board For *NSYNC Reunion

Joey Fatone was on the phone with Q107.5 Studio in Memphis, Tennessee during the Maney & Riley in the Morning show the other day, where the 33-year-old talked about his ‘Dance Your Ass Off’ judging gig, ugly babies, and keeping in touch with his *NSYNC bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake. “I think all the guys would have to be on board, because that’s really tough to say,” when asked about the requirements for an *NSYNC reunion. “If it wasn’t broke don’t fix it kind of thing. I think it would be like a missing an arm or a leg kind of thing if one of us were not there… It was that kind of thing at first with the Backstreet Boys because Kevin left, but they made it work and they’re kind of doing there own thing now, just the four of them. For us in a sense, because none of us wanted to leave the group so to say, but everyone ventured off and did their own thing and some of the people obviously got bigger than we anticipated. Obviously with Justin I give him so much credit. It’s cool. I give him so much credit for what he’s done, but I’m actually really happen with where I am. I’m glad I’m not in the limelight like I used to be anymore, and he’s still in it. His is even on more of a bigger level, and it’s like I’m happy I’m not you dude.”

Joey Fatone Talks Lance Bass & Danielle Fishel, “Dancing With The Stars”

Joey Fatone spoke with Ryan Manno of Chicago’s Q101.1 FM at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last week ahead of the Grammy Awards. Fatone was there as a red carpet interviewer for the TV Guide Network and talked about being in ‘Dancing with the Stars’, Danielle Fishel’s relationship with his former *NSYNC bandmate Lance Bass before he came out, challenging himself to break the stereotypes in terms of acting, and his Marc Ecko hoodie.

Talking about his time on ‘Dancing with the Stars’, Joey said, “I don’t know. I guess my whole life I didn’t take things too serious, but I just went, you know what, I can pick stuff up. I don’t know the technique, I don’t really know how to do it, but obviously I’ll put time and effort into it but let’s have some fun with it. Don’t be too serious with it. It paid off thank goodness. I came in second place. I did that and it led me to do hosting jobs. I started for NBC, I did ‘The Singing Bee’ and hosted some TV Guide Network.”

On Lance dating Danielle, he said in response to if she made Bass switch, “Either that or maybe it was a cover-up. Maybe she knew. I don’t know. I should ask her. I never asked her that.”
