Miami, even in summer, draw celebs, MTV awards and
tourists

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - ...Once thought of as a place to visit
grandma in January, Miami's reputation as a party city has
grown since the days of "Miami Vice," through the
birth of the Art Deco fashion district in the early 1990s
(think Madonna and Versace) and the more recent explosion
of the South Beach club scene. Tourists now flock here all
year for high-end shopping, electric nightlife, fine dining
and the Atlantic's warm waters.
While other areas of multicultural Miami, such as Coconut
Grove, Coral Gables and the downtown area, have their tourist
attractions, 70 percent of all visitors come to South Beach,
said William Talbert, of the Greater Miami Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
The area boasts the offices of several Latin music labels
and other entertainment-based industries, including film and
television production.
"South Beach is able to stay up with the times, reinvent
itself, keep itself fresh," Talbert said.
Just ask hip-hop magnate Missy Elliott. "I love the
beach," she told The Associated Press in an interview.
"I have cars that aren't good for riding in New York.
These streets are the right streets for me to get my engine
roaring. I love being able to drop the top."
R&B singer Usher, meanwhile, digs the glitzy nightclubs
- where he can have a reserved table whenever he wants - and
the Cuban food.
"It's really my home away from home. It's so sexy out
here," Usher said. "It's the beautiful weather,
beautiful people."
In June, visitors such as the Smiths' Andy Rourke and Mike
Joyce were seen hanging out at the Delano Hotel, while tennis
star Venus Williams had a party to unveil her Web site. In
July, members of N'Sync, including heartthrob Justin Timberlake,
held their own charity event, with Timberlake's girlfriend
Cameron Diaz in tow.
Athletes Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas and Josh Beckett have
been recently spotted at Crobar, Eddie Jones and Ricky Williams
at Opium, Warren Sapp at B.E.D. Rapper-businessman Luther
Campbell is a South Beach regular as well.
Even National Basketball Association star Shaquille O'Neal,
the Miami Heat center who's also a rapper and actor, brags
about being able to walk naked on the beach in his new city...

Justin Timberlake not in the singing mood
(8/16/04) Monterey
Herald (thanks lmc!)
Not since the horrifying dismemberment of The Monkees has
there been such a body blow to the art of pop music. According
to People magazine, master vocalist and stage sensation Justin
Timberlake has told the other members of boybandom's greatest
gift to humanity, 'N Sync, that he will not contribute to
their next album.
''Justin said he's not in the mood,'' an unnamed source tells
the magazine. Tragic words that will live forever in infamy.
Without Justin, we ask, can the other boys match the quality
of the band's previous gems? Will they even try? No one knows.
Meanwhile, in a desperate attempt to avert widespread panic,
a representative for 'N Sync's label, Jive, issues some jive:
''There's no album scheduled for this year from either 'N
Sync, Justin Timberlake or JC Chasez. The group is still together.''

the interview. It's best to hear the interview to get the
full experience.
JC: ...what's up, man?
Rich: ...Jason, you're usually not here with me on Saturday
nights.
JC: Well, you know what happened is, we decided to go out
to a club together and see how people dance...
Jason: Yeah.
JC: ...then we came – no, I'm just kidding.
Rich: [laughs]
Jason: I'm gonna show him!
JC: I wore that joke out already.
Rich: I know! [laughs]
Jason: No, no, I'll take you to a gay club.
JC: Uh...ah...
Rich: [laughs] They might like it...
Jason: Maybe not.
[everyone laughs]
Jason: There's remixes of your record you probably don't
even know going at the gay club!
JC: Yeah, exactly.
DJs: [chants] All day long I dream about sex with Tom!
JC: Wait, wait, wait...
Rich: [pretends to be JC] "Oh, that's not how I wrote
it!"
JC: ...wait. Hold on. Wait.
Jason: So that kind of freaks you out, you're sayin'?
JC: [makes noncommittal sounds]
Rich: Oh, man. So what, you gonna hang out with us, be a
little guest DJ thing with us?
JC: Yeah, yeah, I'll shout a few things, I'll talk about
some stuff and...
Rich: That's cool!
Jason: And make stuff up as we go along, like we do every
other night?
JC: There you go.
Jason: Fabulous.
Rich: There you go! Like uh, Jojo right now. This girl's
like, thirteen...
JC: This little girl is so talented, man. I love it, I gotta
say. And actually – this is gonna sound really weird
– I had a conversation with Richard Marx about this
kid.
Rich: Dick Marx!
JC: [laughs] There you go. Love this guy! Love him!
[laughter]
JC: Um, he...we were just like, you know, seems like a lot
of stuff is coming out and all of these young performers are
coming out, and this one is legit, man.
Jason: Totally legit.
JC: She's totally...this girl is, what, thirteen years old,
writing her own songs, and she's got pipes, man. She can sing
her tail off.
Jason: Yes she can.
JC: She really can. So...[unintelligible]...I'm a big fan
of the girl.
Rich: Hear that, Jojo? JC likes you! Sirius Hits 1.
**
JC: The salsa – is that like the tossed salad thing?
Jason: Oh my god.
Rich: [laughs] Oh god! Well, JC Chasez is here!
Jason: Hello!
JC: [laughs]
Rich: It's Sirius Hits 1, America's hit music, I'm Rich Davis.
Jason is actually here on a Saturday.
Jason: I know. Well, you know what...I come for good-looking
men.
JC: Nah...
Rich: Oh gosh.
Jason: I figured, I figured since JC was here I'd stop by
and say hi...
JC: "...anyway!"
Rich: [laughs]
Jason: Hellllooo!
JC: [laughs] "...I figured I'd come by *anyway*."
Rich: Well!
JC: That's all right, I heard that Tom Cruise was promoting
his new movie in the next room.
Rich: Where?
Jason: What?
Rich: Yeah yeah, you'd run outta here in a second!
JC: [laughs]
Jason: No, he's over!
Rich: All right.
Jason: Well, my shoulder! No, uh...
[more laughter]
Rich: Speaking of men, speaking of women...in Hollywood,
what are your three top women, that you pick...like if you
had to pick...
JC: Three...?
Rich: Couple...top three women, maybe.
Jason: Who's your to-do list?
JC: My to-do list. You know what, though? Here's my thing.
I don't like to even think about that kind of...I like meeting
regular girls because...
Rich: That's cool.
JC: ...actresses are a nightmare...
Jason: Well, yeah.
JC: ...and models are a nightmare. They're just too much
work. They're too much drama.
Rich: High maintenance.
JC: High maintenance. And the thing about it is, um, because
I'm an entertainer...um, the thing that's always in the back
of my mind is, I can't date this girl because eventually,
I might work with her one day.
Jason: That's true.
JC: And if I end up dating her, and then breaking up with
her, and then there's a job that we have to work together
– I'm not, I'm not down for it being uncomfortable.
Rich: It works for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman!
JC: Well, you know what – hey!
Rich: Not everyone.
JC: I'm not in that phase of my life, you know. I'm still
young!
Jason: Oh! He's still dancin'!
Rich: [laughs]
JC: I'm still young!
Jason: He's still dancin'! He's still dancin'!
[laughter]
JC: Uh no, I uh, I'm still, you know, I'm still young and
I don't think I've hit that kinda like, point in my life where
it's just like, "I need..." – I'm not thinking
"wife" and "babies" and things like that.
Jason: Right.
Rich: Not here!
JC: I'm thinking about...if I'm gonna date somebody, it's
got to be something where we can do fun stuff together, like
travel and see things, 'cause I still have a lot to see, you
know. I've been a lot of places but I've always been working
when I've been to those places.
Rich: Yeah, you only have...
JC: And I've gotten a, I've gotten a taste of those places,
but now that I've been there, I wanna go back on my own time
and really enjoy them and things like that.
Jason: When you do tour and stuff, do you, like, keep a little
diary of like, "Okay, I have to remember to come back
here..."
JC: Um, whenever...whenever, especially in the beginning
– nowadays, I don't keep up with it as much –
but one of my things, before I would go to bed every night,
traveling, is I would take a piece of paper from the hotel
I was in, and write on that piece of paper so I would know
exactly what city I was in. I'd write the date on the top
of it and then just write, you know, what I did that day and
how I felt about it...
Rich: "Here I am at Hotel Dick..."
[laughter]
JC: But you know what? I, I look back on that stuff from,
like, you know, '94...what is it, '94, '95, and I'm just going,
"Wow, Munich, Germany." Like, "What was I doing
that day?" And I'd read...some days we’d work,
and some days, you know, it was just "Yeah, I went skating
all through downtown." I used to, like, be into rollerblading
and stuff like that, and pissed off a few restaurant owners,
you know.
Jason: [laughs]
JC: I'd just blame it..."I'm American! I don't know
what I'm doing. I, uh, it's like this in America! You can
do this, honest!"
Jason: Very fun. Rollerblading *is* fun.
Rich: All right, man. Well, uh, pick a song. What do you
wanna hear? What can we play?
JC: Uh, let's see. We've got, uh...[sarcastically] oh, gee,
let's see, what should I pick?
[DJs laugh]
JC: [laughing] You know, as the...
Jason: Rich, the magic is over. You pointed to what song
you wanted him to play!
JC: Yeah, exactly! It's like, "You know what? You can
pick one that I show you!"
Jason: That's funny!
JC: "I'm gonna tell you what you can choose. It's cool.
Go with it." All right, I'm gonna pick Avril Lavigne,
My Happy.
[laughter]
Jason: Ending.
JC: Happy, happy, happy ending. Oh boy.
Jason: God...
JC: And that's the end of this segment!
[more laughter]
**
Rich: Rich Davis, JC Chasez. Thanks for hangin', man.
Jason: This is fun tonight.
Rich: We love hangin' with you.
JC: It's a good time.
Rich: You're a fun guy.
JC: I'm a fun...hey. I'm a fungi?
Jason: A fungi!
Rich: Durrr...
JC: Speaking of jokes...no.
Jason: [pretends to gush] Oh Mr. Chasez, I'm a big fan...
[laughter]
Rich: So listen, this is a good opportunity – Saturday
night – to talk about what you like in women.
JC: What I like in women...
Jason: Wow.
Rich: Because, you know, a lot of ladies listen on Saturday
night before they go out. Turn-ons, turn-offs?
Jason: [to JC] You have his list of notes, that's why he’s
getting all...
JC: I like a, I like a girl who's creative. I like those
really, like, arty-farty, artistic girls.
Jason: So you're a romantic, aren’t you?
JC: Uh...I don't know! I just like to have fun. And I like
people who come from a...just a different perspective, you
know. If I wanted to hang out with somebody normal, I'd hang
out with me all day. And I already do that!
Rich: Right, there you go.
JC: So, I love, um, being introduced to a new perspective.
Rich: What's your, like, ideal date? Like, if you’ve
been...if you know this girl and this is, like, your fourth
or fifth time going out?
JC: Fourth or fifth??
Rich: Yeah. How does, how does JC Chasez impress a girl?
Like what...
Jason: Duh. He shows her his driver's license.
JC: [laughs]
Jason: "Hi, I'm JC Chasez!"
JC: You know what? My whole thing is, I never try to impress
anyone. I just, you know, the main thing is to be yourself.
You're gonna – you're never gonna have any fun if you're
always trying to prove something, you know.
Jason: So true.
JC: You should be able to be comfortable. Uh, and that's
when you're gonna have your most fun. Um, as far as, like,
what a girl...I don't know, man. I don't concentrate on it
too hard. Like I said, if I meet somebody and we get along,
cool. We'll take it from there. But the main thing is, um...I
don't like somebody who's quiet all the time, who doesn't...just
has nothing to say or just agrees with everything that you
say. There's nothing worse than sitting at a table and going,
"So, what do you like to do?" And they're like,
"Oh, um..."
Rich: "...what do *you* like to do?"
JC: "...what do *you* like to do?"
[laughter]
Rich: "'Cause I like that as well!"
JC: Yeah, it's just...oh, it's like, you know...it's like
brushing your teeth with a hammer.
Rich: [laughs]
JC: It's like, "Oh wow. This is fun."
Jason: That's not fun at all.
JC: No, no.
Rich: All right, cool.
Jason: I wanna talk to you later on about TV stuff.
JC: Okay...
Jason: 'Cause, you know, I seen you on the boob tube...
JC: Oh yeah, I'm actually...
Jason: ...and wanna find out about more.
JC: Yeah, I'm probably gonna be doing some more stuff, so...
Jason: Okay. All right, well, pick another song. [laughs]
JC: Pick another song!
Jason: [jokingly] Which one would you like?
JC: Yeah! Which one would *you* like?
Rich: I don't...
JC: You know what - hang on, I'm gonna change up the whole
mix right now! I'm gonna play Lloyd Banks next! You know,
right after a rock band! It's *perfect* for radio!
Jason: Fabulous!
[laughter]
Rich: Thank you, JC!
JC: We're gonna, we're gonna melt that format right down!
**
Rich: Saturday night, uh, JC Chasez's hangin' out. Jason
Drew, what are you laughin' at?
JC: You!
Rich: Because you're...off the air is actually more fun than
what we're doing on the air.
Jason: Yeah, you guys should really be here!
JC: Yeah, you should. You'd love it. Change your life.
Jason: Or somethin'.
Rich: Talkin' about parents and porn, that's great.
JC: Your mom was there.
Jason: [laughs]
Rich: *My* mom?
Jason: She can put Pam Anderson to shame, man.
JC: [laughs]
Rich: Oh, god.
JC: No, we were just talking about, like, that would be the
weirdest thing ever. Like, to...if you were, like, a kid,
what do you do when, like, little Mikey, who's, like, eight
years old – is like, "Dude, I seen your mom's boobs!"
Jason: [laughs]
Rich: Well, you know, Pamela Anderson, she had a show here
at Sirius.
JC: Oh, really?
Rich: And her and Tommy Lee did - he called in one time and
like, people were callin' and sayin', like...and her kids
are right there! They're like, "So, you guys still hook
up? Do you have sex?" and stuff like that, and her kids
were listening. And I'm like, "Come on, Pam!"
Jason: Earmuffs, earmuffs!
JC: Yeah, exactly. Earmuffs, kids!
Jason: No, you can't say "muff" in front of Pam's
kids.
JC: [laughs] Oh, dude.
Jason: So, about your TV career...
Rich: [laughs]
JC: Yeah.
Jason: What's goin' on, man? I saw you on MadTV.
JC: I did, I had a lot of fun doing that show.
Jason: That was funny.
JC: It was a funny show. I did that a while back. But um,
I'm actually, I actually, uh, am reading a script right now
for a show that I might do. Um, as well as...I'm just now...
Jason: Like a guest spot?
JC: Yeah, a guest spot, a guest spot.
Jason: Oh, okay.
JC: Just because I'm thinking about, uh, opening up that
door a little bit more.
Jason: Yeah.
JC: You know, I did my own record and I'm into just trying
new things right now. I'm just at that point in my life and
uh, you know...[to Jason] don't get any ideas!
Rich: [cracks up] I know! Don't get any bad ideas! I saw
that! [pounds on the table]
JC: That look was the most...
Rich: Damn!
JC: See? Calm down.
Jason: I'm thinkin', the gay bar, right down the street,
later...
JC: [laughs] You're at a ten. I need you at a FOUR!
[both DJs laugh]
JC: 'Cause I would say FORget it! No, uh...
[more laughter]
Jason: "Now, get out of my life."
JC: [playfully] No, I love gay people! They're great!
[more laughter]
JC: You know? We get along!
Jason: Yeah, uh huh...
JC: They appreciate what I do, and I appreciate what they
do!
Jason: That's funny!
Rich: They make great baked brie!
JC: I make great music, and they make great curtains!
[both DJs laugh]
Rich: Well! Now listen, is it more of a serious acting thing
you wanna do, or – if someone came up to you with a
reality show idea that you liked...
JC: No. You know, I can't do a reality...
Rich: Never? Never? No?
JC: You know what, it's...I'm just one of those...some people
don't mind having the camera, you know...people, uh, who just
wanna be famous and are willing to do it at any cost, and
they're willing to be themselves, and there's nothing wrong
with that. Me, personally, I do enjoy a part of my life being
private.
Jason: Speaking of which...
JC: Um, I like, I like hanging out with my family, and my
family actually loves the fact that, you know, our time is
ours. Um, and I don't give that to everyone. I think there's
a certain part of your life that you should reserve for people
that you care about, and that they can still feel special
in your life in that way, you know.
Jason: Mm hm. You just said it. You know, people trying to
become famous. Can I just ask you to read this headline here?
JC: [laughs] What's this?
Jason: Uh, there you go. Right there.
[loud laughter]
JC: You bastard!
Jason: What does it say?
JC: Yeah, it says "The Backstreet Boys are developing
a reality show to find a new bodyguard."
Rich: [laughs] Hello!
JC: I actually know about this.
Jason: Does it get more pathetic than that?
JC: I, I don't know if it's for the band, or if it's just
literally to see the bodyguard get famous. I don't know which
one's going to get more famous though.
Rich: All right, let's, uh, you wanna pick a record right
now?
JC: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna pick the, uh, the saucy Christina
Milian.
Rich: God, yeah, that video!
JC: I'm proud of her for that, you know. It's, she...[pretends
to make a proclamation] "I'm every woman. It's all in
here. I'm watching you dip it...low."
Jason: [laughs]
JC: She turned into a woman on this video, dude.
Rich: She did!
JC: She went from, like, you know, like, teen fun to, like...
Rich: AM to PM!
Jason: Come on and get me!
JC: ...pro wrestling in jello, you know?
Jason: Hilarious.
Rich: All right, here she is. Christina Milian on Sirius
Hits 1.
**
Rich: Ah, time to wake up. Rise and shine. Saturday night,
JC Chasez is here.
JC: Rise and shine? It's Saturday night, man.
Rich: [laughs] Yeah, that makes no sense.
Jason: All the gays are getting out of bed to go clubbing.
JC: [laughs]
Jason: So, um, you were supposed to be, uh, on the road with
Britney Spears right about now, weren't you?
JC: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, she tore her knee up.
Jason: 'Kay. How's she doin'?
JC: Well, she’s getting married!
Jason: Yeah! [laughs]
Rich: Look at that face! What is that look for?
Jason: How do you feel about that, by the way? 'Cause I'm
sure you're friends with her, right?
JC: You know what, I'll say this. Um, I mean, the guy that
she's with right now is a nice guy. And uh, you know what,
in a way, it's been really good for her to be with him. Because,
you know, before that, obviously we were reading in the tabloids
how much she was partying and going crazy...
Jason: Yeah.
JC: ...and he's totally – you know what, he's kind
of brought her down to a level where she can be comfortable
with herself and chill out, and not have to worry about going
out every night. So, um, you know, I will say, the guy's been
nothing but nice to me, and he's definitely...I can see...from
what I've seen, done a lot of good for her in some ways.
Rich: Good. You heard it from JC Chasez. Now uh, I feel bad
for you in a way...but I don't, 'cause you're my pal...
JC: Yeah, okay, cool. [laughs]
Jason: Where're you going with this one?
Rich: But no, I'm sayin'’...like, I feel like you've
been screwed over a lot this year. With the Super Bowl, then
Britney hurtin' her knee...
JC: Yeah...
Rich: ...it just seems like, you're so talented, but you're
catching some bad luck.
JC: You just roll with it, man. You just roll with it. And,
uh, my whole thing is, I'm not gonna be defined, you know,
by one thing that I do. I wanna be defined by my career and
things like that. And I'm proud of the things that I've done
in my career, so...
Jason: And plus, it also gives you a chance to explore other
horizons, like you were talking earlier, about doing some
acting and stuff like that.
JC: Yeah, yeah. But, uh, music's my first love, man.
Jason: Right.
JC: Don't get it twisted, I mean, I'll always be doing music
in some way, shape or form. I mean, it's just, it's a huge
part of my life. I think it's the most magical form of entertainment
there is.
Jason: How was it...you guys just did...the rest of the guys
from NSYNC just got together down in Florida two weeks ago.
JC: Down in Florida. We did our charity event. We went out
and, uh...
Rich: How was that?
JC: You know what? It was wild. We sang together for the
first time in, like, a year and a half, and the first time
we went in to...
Rich: You're like, "[cough]JT, you're a little off."
Jason: [laughs]
JC: No, but it was wild, man. I mean it was like...we were
singing a song that we hadn't sang in so long, and um, when
we hopped in, it was like, everybody remembered their part...
Jason: Really.
JC: ...and it was just, like, everybody just...it was, like,
the first couple of notes were just a little, you know, uh...I
just...'cause I start, uh, the song...
Jason: Mm hm.
JC: ...by myself. It's like, I start and then everybody hops
in.
Rich: Wow.
JC: And it was like, I started the first two words, and all
of a sudden everybody jumped on their part, like, right away,
and...
Rich: You guys doin' anything?
JC: ...and we all looked at each other like, while we were
singing, everybody's just kinda looking at each other, going...
Rich: "We still got it!"
JC: ...we still got it, and, you know, we finished it, and
everybody just kinda was like, "Wow. We really, really
do sound good together."
Jason: Sweet.
Rich: Speaking of which, I mean, is there something comin'
up with you guys? I mean, is that something that you don't,
just have time for right now?
JC: Um, no, it's not even a matter of time. It's just that
everybody...you know, we're just trying new things, you know.
We did that for like, eight, nine years.
Rich: Yeah.
JC: And when we decided to go off and do our own projects,
to experiment and things like that, we just were giving it
our full attention, you know. Joey's on Broadway, you know,
it was his lifelong dream when he was a kid to do that.
Jason: That’s awesome.
JC: And Chris, you know, still is...is almost done on his
record, and he, you know – so he hasn't even put out
his record yet.
Rich: Mm hm.
JC: So, you know he's gonna make a run with his record and
things like that, you know. Justin's doing movies, obviously...
Rich: Justin who?
Jason: [laughs]
JC: [sarcastically] Uh, heh, right.
Rich: Okay.
JC: No, Lance is actually shooting a film right now...
Rich: He's on the moon!
Jason: [laughs]
JC: No, but he did, he just produced a movie for Amanda Bynes,
who's, uh, who's a great little actress. You know, does all
that Nickelodeon stuff...
Both DJs: Yeah.
Jason: Yeah, I was gonna say, I know that name.
JC: And, uh, so, um, you know, everybody's busy in their
projects, and everybody's really happy right now. And uh,
so, we're all gonna finish up whatever we're working on now,
and then explore the idea after that. But right now, everybody's
still focused on their projects.
Jason: Just think of it. I mean, my god. If you guys like,
just go, "Okay, one night, Madison Square Garden, New
York City."
Rich: Let's just do it!
Jason: You can retire!
JC: [laughs] Oh, riiight.
Jason: Five hundred dollars a ticket!
Rich: All right, cool. You want to, uh, pick another song?
JC: Yeah yeah yeah.
Rich: What do you wanna do?
JC: We're gonna do the Kelly Clarkson thing. The Breakaway.
Rich: All right, let's do it! Sirius Hits 1.
**
Rich: ...very cool, huh? LFO, Summer Girls.
JC: I can tell you a funny story about this guy here, right
now.
Rich: Go ahead!
JC: In Orlando...[to Jason, who's laughing] what? You thought
that was funny?
Jason: I did!
[unintelligible banter]
JC: No, um, he's actually hosting this show in Orlando at
a...there's like, a bar where we have...there's this show
called Liquid Courage. It is the grossest thing you've ever
seen. Rich Nice is actually the host of this television show.
If you turn on your TV to, like, the WB...
Jason: Uh huh.
JC: ...at, like, four in the morning, it's either on Saturday
or Sunday – I don't remember which day. Saturday or
Sunday, like, four in the morning, it's a show called Liquid
Courage. And it's a show shot in Orlando in a, in a bar, where,
um, they get people to volunteer to just eat, or do gross
things...
Jason: Fabulous!
Rich: Wow!
JC: They’re like, "Fifty dollar bar tab to the
guy who eats two live scorpions!"
Rich: Eww!
Jason: [laughing] Oh god!
JC: And dude, let me tell you something. Everybody's got
their hand in the air. Because dude, *liquid courage*.
Jason: Yeah!
JC: I mean, they wait 'til everybody's nice and drunk...
Rich: And the LFO guy's doing it?
JC: He's the host of the show. And it is the funniest thing.
I gotta tell you though, there's this kid that works at the
bar there, his name's Corndog, and uh...
Rich: [snickers]
JC: There was a segment that night where they were using
a taser gun. And I...
Rich: Oh no.
JC: ...and I threw up my, you know, and at the end of the
night...
Jason: What's a taser gun?
JC: A taser gun's like, where the police hit you, it's like
the shocker, it goes [makes buzzing noise to imitate a taser].
Jason: Oh, yeah, okay.
JC: So, um...I don't know if I should be saying this on the
radio, actually.
Jason: Why not?
Rich: Go ahead!
JC: Okay, go with it.
Jason: Nobody's listening.
JC: [laughs] No, so he's like, he's crazy, you know, but
he's like, real fun and he just does crazy stuff to kinda,
you know, whatever – get attention and stuff like that.
He goes, "Gimme twenty bucks, I'll let you hit me with
a taser gun." I go, "For twenty bucks? Hell yeah!"
Rich: Oh my god.
JC: But he had two of them! He had one that was, like, 1000
volts and one that was 6000 volts.
Rich: Oh no!
JC: I go, "All right, but you gotta give me the six."
And he goes, "No!" And I go, "Then I'm keeping
my twenty bucks." Twenty bucks, by the way.
[DJs laugh]
JC: Did I say twenty bucks?
Jason: Yeah.
Rich: God!
JC: He's like, "Okay, fine, twenty bucks." Six
thousand volts. Pop! I hit him with it...
Rich: Why??
Jason: Where?
JC: In, in the club – I hit him right on the side.
Jason: Oh, okay.
Rich: Oh my god!
JC: Wait, let's take it to the next level.
Rich: Oh, okay. Brace yourselves, kids!
JC: Brace yourselves, kids. You might not want to hear this.
Um, so then uh, so he, so everybody's laughin', he's laughin'.
Like he got, he's crackin' up. Like, the kid's nuts.
Jason: Right.
Rich: Crazy!
JC: So everybody's laughin' and then one...and then the bartender
goes, "I'll give you a hundred bucks if you take it in
the nuts!"
[one of the DJs gasps]
JC: And the guy goes, like, he goes, "No way!"
I go, "I got a hundred and twenty." And he goes,
"I'll think about it."
Jason: Wha?
JC: So he walks away. Two minutes later – not even
two minutes. Like, I'd say thirty seconds later he goes, "All
right, with 1000 volts." And I go, I said, "My deal
is for 6000 and I like to go...I like to go all the way when
I go for it."
Rich: [laughs]
Jason: Shut up!
JC: This kid...and I don't know if I can say this, again...
Rich: You can!
JC: He takes his bare ball out...
Jason: [laughs]
Rich: [primly] His scrotal sac.
JC: And then I take this thing and I hit it, man. And the
guy just flailed everywhere!
Rich: [cracks up]
Jason: Oh my god! Don't piss off JC! He might have a cattle
prod with him!
JC: So anyway, uh, yeah, this was all inspired by Rich Nice,
who runs a show called Liquid Courage.
Rich: Whoo. [still laughing]
JC: Because, again, they just do crazy stuff. It's called
Stun Gun Trivia. Like, if you get the question wrong, you
get hit with a stun gun. If you get it right, you get ten
bucks for your bar...
Rich: We should do that with our guests!
Jason: Yeah. [laughs]
JC: Yeah, right. "So. We're doing this little game show,
it's called Stun Gun Trivia."
Rich: "Actually, it's just a lame excuse to see your
balls."
[loud laughter]
JC: Yeah, so, but that's...it was interesting that you played
that record and he was there.
Rich: All right, man. Well, pick another one.
JC: Yeah, yeah, let me pick another one. It's, this is Nickelback,
we're going to play a Nickelback record right now.
Rich: Feelin' way too damn good. We're still commercial-free
with JC.

Rich: Jason, JC Chasez is here.
Jason: [growls]
JC: [laughs]
Rich: We're playin', uh, we're playin' the hits, you're pickin'
your favorites. So, what do you wanna hear, man?
JC: I actually want...uh, the Beyonce record would be good.

[everyone laughs]
JC: No, um, I don't know. It's just two totally different...
Jason: Yeah.
Rich: [brightly] Rock and pop!
JC: It's two totally different perspectives. Um, I don’t

perform, so I might just wanna check it out for the sake of
seeing something new.
Jason: A little Ashlee Simpson impersonation...
Rich: Yeah, that's very good, Jason.
Jason: For those of you – the home viewing audience,
you missed it. The choreography was incredible.
Rich: [laughs]

Sky]
Rich: Can you do something more original for us?
Jason: Yeah, yeah, we need you to do something fun.
Rich: Like, "Yo, you're hangin' with...the gay guy..."
JC: [energetically] "Yo, you’re hangin' with Jason
the Di...the Diva-nator!" [laughs]

Rich: [laughs]
Jason: Yay! Now you're gettin' it!
JC: But really what you're doing is you're listening to MEEEEEEE!
Rich: [laughs]
Jason: Thank you, JC!
Lance attends Hilton wedding
(8/16/04) The Associated Press Nola.com
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nicky Hilton, the hotel heiress and
socialite, has tied the knot with her beau in a late-night
ceremony, according to court filings obtained by The Associated
Press.
Hilton, 20, married New York money manager Todd Andrew Meister,
33, at the Las Vegas Wedding Chapel early Sunday, according
a Clark County marriage license. A woman who answered the
phone at the chapel declined comment.
"They're happy and doing well," said Elliot Mintz,
spokesman for Nicky Hilton. "This is a real, meaningful,
loving relationship. They are glowing."
"Access Hollywood," which first reported the wedding,
said older sister Paris Hilton and actress Bijou Phillips
were present during the 2:30 a.m. ceremony.
The Hilton sisters were in town for a Stuff magazine party
being thrown at the Palms Casino Resort and were joined there
by Meister and Nicole Richie for dinner late Saturday, said
George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms casino
hotel.
Maloof, who confirmed the ceremony had taken place, said
the couple gave no indication of their plans.
The group flew to Las Vegas from Los Angeles on a private
plane Friday. Others who came along included one-time 'N Sync
member Lance Bass, actress Tara Reid and "That 70's Show's"
Danny Masterson, "Entertainment Tonight" reported.
Hilton and Meister, who holds a degree from the Harvard Graduate
School of Business Administration, returned to Los Angeles
Sunday and planned to spend their first night as newlyweds
at a local hotel, Mintz said. He said they have known each
other for several years.
The couple was still planning a honeymoon, Mintz said.
Nicky Hilton, younger sister of "The Simple Life 2"
star Paris, has dabbled in acting, appearing in "Wishman"
in 1991 and presenting at several MTV award shows.
