While the boy bands of the ’90s and early 2000s may have worked to keep up a clean-cut image, things weren’t always so innocent behind the scenes.

In the upcoming Investigation Discovery documentary Boy Band Confidential, produced by *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees reveals, “This is gonna sound super shady, but, like, when we first went out — I remember in our first tour — someone at the label gave us a book and it was the age of consent in every state in the country. And, like, we kept that book on the tour bus.”

By way of explanation, Nick adds, “Unfortunately, there were people out there looking to tear you down.”

And the pressure to stay on top was so intense, Nick says, that there was little thought given to the emotional state of the group members — not just in 98 Degrees, but industrywide.

“You’ll see a [Justin] Bieber cancel a tour. You’ll see a Shawn Mendes cancel a tour because ‘my mental health needs to come first,’” notes Nick. “That was not an option when we were out there.” 

“You went out there and you did the show and you came back after the show and you broke down and you cried and you kicked a hole in the  wall, or you did whatever you had to do,” he says. “But you didn’t bow out. You work so hard to get there, you can’t let your foot off the gas.”

In addition to Joey, Nick and 98 Degrees’ Jeff Timmons, the doc features Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and members of Boyz II Men, O-Town and LFO. Boy Band Confidential airs April 13 and April 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ID, and streams on HBO Max.

Monaleo is ready to make her comeback after undergoing emergency surgery in March. She took to Instagram Tuesday to thank her village for their support and remind fans to prioritize their health.

“hey yall. wanted to take a moment to say from the depths of my soul, thank you for ALL the love and support this past month,” she wrote. “thank you to my village of family, friends, and supporters for every message, every flower, every visit, etc. This has been such a difficult and depressing time for me so it means so much that yall never let me forget how loved and supported i am. Recovery was rough but it went well!”

“I learned a lot in this process but most importantly how to advocate for my wellbeing. Something i want to continue to remind yall to do as it could be the thing that saves your life,” she continued. “So many trivial things could be going on in your life and then suddenly being alive is the only thing that matters! What an eye opening experience.”

Monaleo was in the midst of her Who the Body Tour when she was forced to cancel shows and undergo surgery after discovering she “had an inflamed cyst the size of a softball that had twisted and cut off blood flow and caused bleeding in my abdomen”; she lost an ovary and fallopian tube in the process.

Now she says she’s “ready to get back to doing what i love.”

“All shows for the month of april & beyond will go on,” Monaleo wrote. “I can’t wait to see yall! …i love yall more than anything! Pimpcess is BACK.”

The next show on her Who the Body Tour is set for April 21 in Birmingham. She is also scheduled to join Summer Walker’s Still Finally Over trek, which kicks off in late May.

Andra Day has spent the last few years displaying acting her chops, but she hasn’t forgotten about the music. Speaking to Variety, she reveals she’s actually cooking something up, though she doesn’t know how she will release it.

“I haven’t decided whether it’s going to be a series of EPs or a full album yet,” says Andra, who notes she has been able to make some long-desired collaborations happen.

“[I am] finally getting in the studio with producers who I’ve been friends with for a while and we’ve been talking about working together for a while,” she adds.

Andra recently wrapped filming on Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ third season, which she’s eager for fans to see.

First up, however, Andra is set to perform during the After Party portion of the Night Out for the No Kid Hungry event, which will raise money for the No Kid Hungry campaign and its fight to end childhood hunger.

Meek Mill is the latest artist to join Cardi B for a Little Miss Drama tour show. He came out onstage Tuesday during her stop at Xfinity Mobile Arena in his native Philadelphia and performed his hit “Dreams and Nightmare” to a sold-out crowd.

As he rapped the song, Cardi jumped around and joined in on some lyrics. The crowd also loudly rapped along.

“Shake the building,” Meek wrote alongside a video of his performance. He added in the comments, “It was sooo loud I couldn’t hear myself on beat lol.”

Cardi reshared the post on her Instagram Story, writing, “IT WAS A MOVIEEEEE.”

Cardi previously teamed with Meek on the 2018 song “On Me” from his album Championships.

Despite her busy schedule, Cardi is also making sure to keep track of her money. In an Instagram Live Monday, the rapper vented about thieves who had been using her credit card.

“Y’all are going to jail,” she said, noting she has “clear pictures” of the culprits in the act.

“One thing about me, I don’t play about my money,” she also said.

Is today gonna be the day you spend five figures on a historic Noel Gallagher guitar?

The acoustic Epiphone EJ-200 that Gallagher used when writing songs for Oasis’ 1995 album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, is going up for auction via Sotheby’s.

The guitar is signed by Gallagher along with a letter of authenticity, which states that it can be seen in the “promotional video” for the Oasis classic “Wonderwall.”

According to Sotheby’s, the guitar is expected to go for between $60,000 and $80,000.

(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? marked Oasis’ sophomore album and helped Britpop go global thanks to the aforementioned “Wonderwall,” and fellow singles “Champagne Supernova” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”

Oasis played those three songs and more from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? on their 2025 reunion tour, which marked their first live shows in 16 years and ended the long-running feud between Noel and his formerly estranged brother, Liam Gallagher.

“I busted out of my britches. That’s how you know it’s gonna be a good night.” 

That’s the beginning of the just-released trailer for Lainey Wilson’s new Netflix documentary, before cutting to her singing “Hang Tight Honey” for a packed arena. 

While the preview’s only two minutes long, it packs some major revelations — and lets the CMA and ACM entertainer of the year clear some things up.

“A lot of people think this was an overnight success,” Lainey says. “I’ve been here 14 years. So a 14-year overnight success.”

“I spent a decade being the one you didn’t see coming,” she adds in a voice-over. “I am putting everything I built on the line to make sure they never forget the name Lainey Wilson.”

Tracing things back to her Louisiana roots, Lainey recalls feeling at home in front of an audience from an early age.

“I remember at 5 years old feeling more comfortable onstage than I do anywhere else,” she says. “I was going and playing at random things. I played on top of an air conditioning unit.”

“My payment was free hotdogs the rest of my entire life. That is one of the biggest flexes I will ever have,” she quips.

The big surprise? Lainey’s making plans for motherhood with fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges.

“I feel it in my heart that I was called to be a mama. But sometimes the Lord just has other plans,” she says, going on to reveal, “I’m gonna freeze my eggs in April, put them babies on ice.”

Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool premieres April 22 on Netflix.
