First stop, The Rosie O’Donnell show. It was still early and no one had been let in yet so we were going to be able to sit down and talk to Rosie which was so exciting for Tiffany and myself because we loved her so much and once had aspirations to start our own talk show.
We met up with Rosie and she was definitely all I expected. She was already comfortable with the guys because they had been on so much and really gotten to know her. They all sat on the couches in the “guest room” while Tiffany and I leaned against the wall and looked on. I personally felt really nervous around her because she had always been such a role model to me.
“Girls, come over here and sit next to me. Join in the conversation.” She said signaling for us to not be so shy. We gladly accepted and each of us sat beside her.
“So how do you girls like New York?” She asked.
“We haven’t had time to look around yet.” Tiffany said.
“It’s definitely somewhere I have wanted to go for years and especially since you started this show I begged and begged my mom to take me up here. But we never got around to it.” I added.
“I saw Leno the other night with you all talking about your girlfriends and I just want to say that personally I am glad you came out and said something cause I get tons and tons of letters from young girls asking if you all are single and I’m thinking ‘how am I suppose to know’” she said to the guys who just smiled and laughed. “So you are two of the lucky ladies?” she asked turning towards me.
“Lucky, yea we are. I don’t think we could get any better.” Tiff smiled at Justin I just simply nodded.
“Are you getting recognized now and getting mobbed?”
“Well not mobbed but we’ve had our share of mixed reaction we’ve had girls coming up to us saying how glad they were that they had such sweet girlfriends then we get the other side with the death threat stuff you just have to ignore.” I said.
“They haven’t been after them too bad yet. I’m hoping it stays that way over the next couple of months. We’re going to see who the true fans are.” Justin added.
“How?” she inquired.
“We have something very important that has to be let out into the media sometime but we just don’t wanna do it on your show sense it’s a family oriented show.” JC informed her. “Jen and Tiff are pregnant, please don’t leak this out on your show.”
“Are you serious? Don’t worry I’m not into that stuff. Let the people find out for themselves.”
“Just another reason we love you Rosie.” I said.
We continued to talk and Rosie asked Tiffany and myself if we would open the show for her. Of course we were more than thrilled. Everyone had to go into makeup so Tiffany and I went to our seats in the quiet studio where no one was around. Fifteen minutes of silence was soon broken when people were allowed in and took their seats in the audience. About an hour of being impatient was finally over. Tiffany and I were signaled to get ready to start the show. We stood up in the aisle and it all began
“Hi I’m Jen”
“And I’m Tiffany.”
“And this is the Rosie O’Donnell show.” we said together.
“Today’s guests are”
“Brad Pitt”
“Jensen Akles”
“And *NSync, hit it John.” we screamed together.
we had a few seconds as a breather till we were signaled.
“And now Here’s Rosie!” we said pointing as the curtain opened and Rosie came out. She walked over to us and began talking.
“That was awesome girls. Now we were talking earlier and you two were telling me you wanted to have a talk show just like this one.”
“Yea” we said in unison.
“Well until that day happens I want you to come up here and be my co-hosts for the day. Would you like that”
“Yes”
“Well come on up here.” she said as she walked to her desk.
The crew ran around and sat 2 chairs behind her desk. We got to help her interview Brad and Jensen. I personally being the Days of Our Lives fan that I am was busy trying to get him to spill some details about what was going to happen. During a commercial I got a little preview from him that I was very grateful for. Being out on the road a girl misses her soaps. The first half an hour went by so smoothly as if we were just average people sitting at a desk talking to someone you hardly even noticed the audience. The last half an hour was strictly dedicated to our boys from the moment Rosie announced them.
“We’re honored to have these 5 cutie patooties back on our show. There popularity has infected the whole world. Here they are once again...*NSync.” following the introduction the guys sang “I Drive Myself Crazy.” Then we all resumed our places on stage and the guys took their seats to the left of the desk.
“So girls where are we going to start with these guys?” Rosie asked us. We just shrugged our shoulders. “Do you guys know these two ladies?” “Hmm I think we’ve seen them once or twice at a concert. Was it D.C?” Jc said looking like he was deeply thinking.
Rosie laughed.
“No seriously Lance, Justin these are your girlfriends aren’t they.”
“Yes they are.” Lance nodded while he smiled.
“Yea, and I think a lot of you have seen them at our concerts and we just wanted to thank you for your support and treating them like normal Joe’s, that’s what true fans are all about.” Justin said and the audience chanted and hollered in approval.
“That’s great. Now since you girls know these guys so well we want to give you the chance to run this show and interview them cause we know you won’t ask the same old questions. So I’m just going to go have a seat up there in the audience and this is now the Jen and Tiffany show and you have a personal interview for 10 minutes. How’s that?”
“Great” Tiffany said. Rosie got up and ran to the audience and sat down.
“Alrighty.” I said. “You know what maybe we should turn this into *NSync’s most embarrassing moments. Ok Joey remember that time when you...” I continued until Joey cut me off.
“How about we don’t have *NSync’s most embarrassing moments or we might turn this into Jen’s most embarrassing moments.” He commented.
“OK fine then. Well let’s go to the audience. Tiffany is going to go through the audience and pick a few of you out to ask your questions.” I said handing Tiff a mic.
We got one extremely different interview and Rosie came down to congratulate us on such a great job. After Rosie we immediately had to rush to the airport to get Erica. Justin, Lance, Chris, JC, and Joey decided they would go to the hotel and rest for awhile and Tiff and I would take a limo to the airport to get Erica.
“Hey Girl!” I said when Erica walked out of the plane.
“Hey, how’s it going? Where’s JC?” She asked as she looked around.
“Oh the guys wanted to rest before we go to the MTV studios so they sent us.”
“But don’t worry we’re going to the hotel right now so you’ll see him in 15 minutes tops.”
“Great. Man I’m so glad to get away from all that school stuff and finally kick back. Not to mention spending time with JC. So what are we waiting for come on girls let’s go!”
We grabbed her luggage and headed to the Limo.
“Man this Limo is plush. Here, gimme a cd.” Erica insisted.
“*Nsync ok with all of ya?” Tiff laughed.
“Oh no not *NSync come on don’t you have better taste? Just put it in!” I said.
(The Music Starts) It’s tearin’ up my heart when I’m with you...
“So what’s in the limo mini bar?” Erica asked opening the door. “Oh oh look what we have here ladies. Champaign! Anyone down for a glass?”
“Start pouring” Tiff and I agreed.
Of course when you’re anxious to get somewhere you have to get stuck in a traffic jam. 10 minutes into the trip we were each on our 3rd glass which we chugged down and went for one last glass.
“Man we’re all out now. Anymore in there?” Tiff asked sipping the last remains from her cup.
“Yea one more bottle. But enough with the Champaign who wants a shot of vodka before we get out of here?” Erica offered pouring herself a shot.
“Come on hook us up.” I said eagerly.
1 shot turned into 2 then 3 by then we were finally done drinking and less than a minute from the hotel. When we arrived a young bellhop opened the door for us.
“Thanks sweetie.” Erica said kissing him on the cheek.
We stumbled into the lobby and approached the front desk.
“Excuse me.” I said followed by a hiccup. “oops. Our boyfriends checked us into this hotel not too long ago. Could you please give us our room numbers?”
“Sure what’s the last name?” The woman asked.
“Umm well all I need is mine we can get the others but I guess it would be under Hunter.”
“Hunter... Hunter...” she said skimming the guest book. “Sorry no Hunter want to try another name?”
“Um well then how about Bass.” I suggested.
“Oh yes. That’s room 1506. We’ll send your bags up in a few moments.”
“Ok thanks.”
Tiffany, Erica, and myself piled into the elevator and went to the 15th floor. When we got off we walked down the hallway laughing at ourselves because we were so hammered. I got to room 1506 and knocked on the door. Lance quickly answered.
“Hey baby.” I said running up to him and pushing my lips against his and wrapping my arms around his neck.
“Hey sweetie umm what’s up with the breath?” he asked as he pulled away.
“Well ya’ll set us up in that plush lil limo with all the right stuff and we got stuck in traffic and felt like some drinks so guess what we drank.” Erica said “Now where can I find my cuddly lil JC baby?”
“He’s across the hall in 1507.” Erica turned around and knocked on the door. When JC opened the door she did the same thing I did to Lance and he had a very similar reaction.
“Where’s Justin?” Tiffany shouted
“Next door 1504” So Tiffany was off too eager to see Justin. She planted on right on him.
“Yo, dude what’s up with this?” Justin asked as he walked over to Lance and my room.
“Yea , what’s up with them?” JC asked as they all piled into our room.
“What’s up with us?” I restated. “3, no 4 glasses of Champaign and 3 shots of vodka that’s what’s up with us. You should’ve been with us. Traffic jams in New York are the best. But... I got a little headache now I’m gonna just lay right here.” I said walking to the bed.
“You guys were drinking?” Lance asked.
“Yep, a lot.” I mumbled from underneath the pillow.
“Jen are you crazy. Number one you’re underage and Number two are you forgetting you’re pregnant? It’s not good for the baby!” Lance preached.
“That goes for you too.” Justin said to Tiffany
“Oh my god I wasn’t even thinking about the baby! I’m the worst mother ever and I haven’t even had the kid yet! Our child will be in therapy forever then I’ll be in a mental institute because I’ve ruined my poor baby’s life.
”Jen, you’re overreacting a little baby. It’s ok, just control yourself from now on. Don’t want you to end up in AA.”
“Yea can’t have that. AA and Lamaze classes are on the same night, too much of a schedule conflict.” JC joked.
“HA-HA-HA” I laughed.
“Well we’ve gotta be out of here in about 35 minutes so you girls better sober up and get ready.”
“Yeah cold showers for everybody!” I yelled. “I’ll be back in a few.” I made my way to the bathroom but couldn’t put my body through the torture of a cold shower so I told a warm one after that I puked like 2 times and then brushed my teeth numerous times and finally got the alcohol off of my breath. I emerged from the bathroom my old self.
“How are you feeling now?” Lance asked.
“I’m just grand now.” I said giving him a slight kiss.
“Good you cured the vodka breath that was a real turn off.” he smiled and we headed to the 15th floor lobby to wait for everyone else. Joey was already out their waiting.
“Hey there, took you all long enough.”
“Well Jen and the girls had to quickly sober themselves up.”
“Sober up? From what?”
“We had a party in the limo you know 4 glasses of champaign like 3 shots of vodka. So yea we were a little drunk. Obviously not too bad cause look I’m back to my old self again. Miracle isn’t it.” I informed him
“Next time you have a party invite me.” Joey said.
“No parties anytime soon, sorry mother’s orders.” I said as I patted my stomach.
“Yea yea. Party pooper.”
“Are we ready to go yet?”
“We have to wait for...oh nevermind they’re all coming now.” Lance said as Chris, Jc, Erica, Tiffany, and Justin entered the lobby. We all went to the limo and took off.
