That's 20 times platinum in one country!!!

considering getting an eyebrow ring. He loves pushing the limits on his outrageousness even though his
managment isn't too thrilled about it because "the fans love it".

over 30 songs! Both him and Kevin are seperately working on the design of the stage for their next world tour!

* Well if you were lucky enough to catch the repeat of the SNL when the BSB were on you would have noticed that they aired both songs that they performed instead of just As Long As You Love Me. About three quarters through the way they performed Quit Playing Games With My Heart. And who says repeats always suck???
