They're young, energetic, and so cute that you just want to dismember them
and sell them off for parts. That's right: I am talking about the stars of
today's sizzling hot teenage music scene. However, behind those
picture-perfect smiles and wholesome facades lies stories that would make
Barbara Walters cringe. Here's the inside scoop on the NKOTBs and Debbie
Gibsons of the new millennium.
Christina Aguilera may seem like that girl next door who used to dance
around in leather pants and Mickey Mouse ears, but a closer examination of
the teenage star's life reveals that "what a girl wants" is SMACK. That's
right, our little Mousekateer turned genie in a bottle chases the dragon
like no one since the Knights of the Round Table. I guess it kind of makes
sense, though; who could be that perky all the time without use of
narcotics? When this reporter launched questions at Ms. Aguilera
concerning mysterious syringes found in her garbage can, the star said,
"Those are just Mom's turkey basters-she has really small hands." Sure,
Christina.
Aguilera isn't the only diva in a diaper living on the edge; Britney "You
Drive Me Crazy" Spears has been driving the men crazy for some time now
with her appearances in several notable films that cannot be found in the
"new release" section at Blockbuster, if you know what I mean. When
confronted about her appearances in such films as Britney Does
Bangladesh and Britney, Tamer of Spears, the young star echoed
the lyrics of one of her biggest hits: sometimes, she really does run, and
sometimes, she really does hide.
What about those good ole, milk-drinking boys of N'SYNC fame? Well, most
of them are boys anyway. Let's just say that Hillary Swank isn't the only
one worthy of an Oscar for playing the part of a woman masquerading as a
man. An anonymous source has revealed to Whim that a certain member
of the boy-band sensation is packing a lighter load below the belt than his
group mates. Enough said? I thought so.
At least, all the members of N'SYNC are eligible for the title of "Teen
Idol." The same cannot be said for their leading competition, the
Backstreet Boys. Kevin Richardson, the member of the group who looks
forty, really is forty, and has spawned more offspring than the parents
from Seventh Heaven. I guess that explains Kevin's recent
appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine without pants.
Child support can be a real pain on the backstreet, huh, Kevin?
There you have it, the truth on the teen idols of today and the Donnie
Wahlbergs of tomorrow. Just remember, wherever truth is obscured by the
smog of lies and deceit, Whim will be there to clear the air,
assuming it doesn't take too much effort to do so (or at least that we can
make up the majority of our "facts" and "quotes," which is exactly what I
did throughout this entire article).
