By Tanya
When you think of the ultimate man of mystery, who do you think of? James Bond? No of course not. Ethan Hunt? Nope, not even close. The obvious answer is Austin Powers. When Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery came out back in 1997, it felt almost like there was a shift in the world. Suddenly, this ridiculous comedy became all anyone could talk about. It was unexpected, but you know what, it was worth it because the movie was awesome. Making references and jokes to the movie became common place, and you couldn't really ever say the words "one

We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up."

Disney Reveals 'Lilo & Stitch' Is The Next Movie To Get A Live-Action Remake

By Tanya
When it comes to Disney, we know that they are obviously a gigantic corporation that needs to make money to survive. But this fact is easy to forget when they make some of the best movies out there that make us all feel a million emotions no matter how old we are. They can flip their emotional impact from making us "feel the love" between two lions, to the complete terror when a bunch of toys are heading into an incinerator. Some movies can't do that with real actors, but Disney can do it with cartoons. That's always been what

BSB Member Sneaks Not-So-Subtle Jab At *NSYNC Into His Anniversary Celebration

By Tanya
We all know that Backstreet Boys are the best boy band ever, right? I know, *NSYNC is also pretty great, and New Kids On The Block are also pretty alright, but BSB is the best. Well, it's not just us that know that, it seems as though they know it to. BSB's Brian Littrell recently celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary, and while that doesn't seem like the appropriate time to take a jab at the competition, it didn't seem to stop him. Littrell has always been known to be a bit of a goofball, so it's no surprise that he

After 15 Years Apart, BBMak Are Finally "Back Here" Again

By Tanya
As the 90s faded out, and the new millennium rushed forward, a lot changed. Clothes became very shiny, hair became excessively straightened, and people started to get cellphones. There was one thing that didn't change right away though, and that was that boy bands still reigned supreme. Backstreet Boys and *Nsync were obviously the two biggest groups who were constantly in a battle for the crown, but there was an entire league of boy bands that had a whole bunch of hits that a lot of us were completely obsessed with. BBMak was one of those bands. While they may

Jimmy Eat World Kinda Regret Their Band Name, Share The Story Behind It

By Tanya
If you hear the lyrics "It just takes some time, little girl," you probably can't help but continue off into the rest of the song, right? 'The Middle' is one of those songs that seemed to completely take over the radio for a while and still pops into all of our heads when we least expect it. I don't know how many times I've heard someone say, "Hey," only to start auto-completing their sentence in my head with, "Don't write yourself off yet." However the band recently revealed that they may have one big regret about their rise to fame,
