*24th December*

**Lately the Boys have been filming The Call video, the concept is not too clear yet but there are some rumors floating around about it... here they are. Supposedly all the guys are chased by some girl in the video or something like that... Brian spent about 6 hours filming his part of the video in where he's chased by a girl who wears some kind of plastic outfit. Kev try to scape jumping from a window, Howie ends up hanging from a pole (¿?) and Nick was wearing some army fatigues, combat boots and a long black leather jacket. There is also another rumor about Outkast (a rap group) appearing in the video featuring a version or something... And one thing else, it supposed that the Boys had filmed different ending for the video, and we, the fans, will be who choose the one we like. Let's see what happens... By the way the director of the video will be Francis Lawrence.

**On 5th December, Nick and Aaronwent to the Billboard Awards 2000 which took place in Las Vegas. The were who presented the award for Best Female Artist, the winner was Christina Aguilera. Here you have some cute pictures (click on them for a bigger version)
