Factoids Every
*N SYNC Fan Must Know!

Perhaps "must know" is a little strong, but you can certainly make your friends envious with your knowledge of these *N SYNC tid-bits!

On the Group

-Which two crooners go crazy over mint chocolate chip ice scream? That would be Joey and JC.
-Joey and Justin have the biggest feet of all the fellas. They both wear a size 12 shoe.

-Keep all the extra pickings off JC and Justin's pizzas. They're pepperoni-only people.
-*N SYNC sing "Giddy Up" on the recently released Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: The Album.
-Chris affectionately describes his goofy groupmate Joey as being like a life-size Tickle Me Elmo doll.

On Lance

On Joey

-Joey seeks all things Superman.
-Here's a secret scoop: Joey sported a silver hoop in his eyebrow for a short time, but it closed up.  When you see him wearing a ski cap in the "I Want You Back" video, it's because he had to cover it up!
-Joey hit his head on a light switch when he was a tiny tot and now he has a scar on his left eyebrow, where he got stitches.
-One fabulous fan knew how to bring a smile to Joey's face. She gave him a watch with a glowing Superman logo, and he wears it all the time.
-As far as clothes go, Joey says he likes to wear "stuff that people normally probably wouldn't wear."
-What's Joey's favorite number? (Hint: Think about his birthday.) You guessed it, it's 28.
-Wanna know a secret? Joey also has the Superman symbol tattooed on the outside of his right ankle. His flame tat wraps around it like a band.
-Joey likes pepperoni or just plain cheese pizza.

On JC

-Talk about lucky: The reason JC auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club was because, he says, "My mom read about it in the paper and I didn't feel like going to school, so I went."
-The crooner who's most worried about the computer breakdown rumored to happen at the coming of the millenium is JC.
-How does JC stay so slim? Not healthy eating, that's for sure! His diet consists of "McDonald's, donuts, cheeseburgers, and Coca Cola," he dishes.
-Writer Nicholas Sparks, author of "The Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle," is JC's fave scribe.
-Are you still in stores shopping for surprises on Chirstmas Eve? Well, you join JC in being a procrastinating present picker-upper.
-JC's feet are size 11.
-Although it was ultra-embarrasing, the show had to go on when JC's zipper busted open, exposing his white undies. "I sung two songs with my fly open," he blushes.
-JC's favorite cuisine is Chinese food.
-The one song JC is embarrased to admit that he still listens to is Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping," "because nobody likes it anymore," he confesses.

On Justin

-Justin hasn't always been comfortable with his curly hair.  He used to want to straighten it--can you beleive it?
-"I don't need it," Justin said when asked why he doesn't wear any good luck charms.
-Wanna give Justin a sweet surprise? How about a Caramello candy bar--that's his fave.
-Justin plastered posters of Janet Jackson on his bedroom walls long before *N SYNC lucked out and got to go on tour with the dazzling diva last October.
-Always an A-student, Justin freaked when he found out he earned his first B in middle school. "I was so disappointed," he sighs. (How cute is that!!!!)
-President Timberlake: Justin was prez of his middle school's Beta Club and the student council. (Beta Club? wow!!!!)

On Chris

-Chris' fave ice scream flavor is Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby.
-Traveling and touring hasn't stopped Chris from writing music whenever he desires. He carries a laptop computer with him so that he can compose his thoughts when he goes overseas.
-Musical magnificence runs in Chris' family. His great- grand-mother, grandfather, cousin and aunt have all been in bands. And his mom is a vocal coach.
-Before he struck it big with *N SYNC, Chris was a doo- wop singer at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
-Chris earned his Associate of Arts degree in college before he hooked up with the other way-cute crooners.
-One of Chris' first jobs was "shoveling sheep dung" on a farm in Ohio.
