ATTENTION
CITA MAILING LIST MEMBERS!
Yesterday
I cleaned up
our CITA Mailing List. I removed all e-mail addresses of those of you who
haven't replied to my e-mail as instructed. All of you who have replied
my e-mail (titled: IMPORTANT NOTICE) are still on the list. At least they
should be, however it might have happened that I have incidentally removed
you from my mailing list. If so, please forgive me and do subscribe again!

I found an interesting article on
the net, so I thought that it might be of interest to you. It's been published
by ShowBiz Ireland a month ago. Enjoy it!

Gately considers Dutch Duet...
Boyzone star Stephen Gately is considering
recording a duet with his Dutch lover, he disclosed today. But the gay
star, currently at number three in the charts with his debut solo single,
draws the line at a romantic duet with Eloy de Jong and would prefer to
do an upbeat track.
Gately, 24, told Smash Hits magazine:
"It wouldn't be a ballad or a love song to each other because that would
be too cheesy. It would have to be something fun. If we don't record something
together we might write something together for his album."
De Jong has had a flourishing pop
career of his own with Dutch band Caught In The Act prior to being sprung
into the spotlight in the UK as the Boyzone singer's partner.
The pair have been together for the
past 18 months. Gately also told the magazine that he is buying his lover
a new Range Rover, the most expensive thing he has ever bought as a gift.
"I don't usually splash out on things
like a car, but we need something bigger 'cos we want to put the dogs in
the back."

Latest updates on CITA WebSite -
new images have been added to the CITA Image Gallery. Check out new
CITA pics; CITA section has now 42 images! Since I had to move
the whole gallery to a new address (cita_fan1) there may be some broken
links. I hope that everything does work properly, but if you come across
any broken links in CITA Image Gallery PLEASE let me know! This includes
blank images also (those images that do not display!)
Check out this month's Pic
of the month. It's Benjamin's honour and it is a great looking
pic, too!
Those who missed new images in CITA
calendar - Happy News! I've added new images from June to December.
Check them out!
I had to move mp3's as well, due
to the lack of space (to cita_fan2 location). This shouldn't affect any
of you. Hope that links are working properly, but again, if you do come
across any broken links with mp3's LET ME KNOW! |

Hey my darlings! I'm back! I've been
neglecting my site due to my business with other stuff, but no more! So
what's new?
First - CITA WebSite made an appearance
in Popboys ezine! Ain't that great? The article in the magazine was about
Stephen Gately, who will supposedly write a song for Eloy's new-coming
album and at the bottom of the article the editor of the magazine mentioned
CITA WebSite as a so called "top fan site". Proud, proud, proud!!!
Thanks so much! If you wish to get
Popboys magazine free of charge every Wednesday into your mailbox - nothing
easier. You can subscribe at: www.popboys.com
It's a great ezine, I tell ya! All
the latest news about all your favourite boy groups, gossips and more!
In both - plain text and cool html format, with lovely pictures.
More news? Sure are! All Dutch CITA
fans and all the others are more than welcome to join Eloy's ClubSite.
Links, picks, discussions. Join at:
ELOY's
FAN-CLUB.
I'd like to tell you that I finally
updated CITA Memorial Wall. I'd like to apologize to all of you who have
had to wait for more than a month to get your thoughts posted. SORREE!!!
All of you who haven't posted your thoughts on CITA Memorial Wall, you
are more than welcome to join a whole bunch of us who have done so already.
CITA
MEMORIAL WALL
There have been a few Bday wishes
for Bastiaan which I have posted, but I'd like to invite you to go to CITA
Birthday corner and write your Bday wish for Bastiaan. The more the merrier,
right? And when thinking that there are more than 70 people on my CITA
mailing list and less than 10 Bday wishes for Bastiaan posted... Hmmm.
That tells me that there is a whole bunch of pple out there who are even
more lazy than I am. Sham on you! Grab your keyboard and start typing a
short Bday wish now. It ain't need to be 1000 words, you know!
CITA
BIRTHDAY CORNER.
So, what's up for the future? Stay
tuned for next weekend, when new CITA images will be added to CITA image
gallery. Maybe that will wake you and make you more enthusiastic when it
comes to voting for favourite CITA pic. So far some 15 pple have taken
an opportunity and vote. Hallelujah! >;)
Got any other news? Don't be afraid
- mail me. I don't bite. |

Looooooong time no see, right?
I'm terribly sorry my dear visitors, but I've been pretty busy lately.
I have published new pic of the month of those of you who haven't noticed
it yet...
Gotta say that I'm not at all "swapped"
with news lately. Actually, I've been told by Mandy - THANKS Mandy! - that
Bastiaan's new single is just about to come to the stores.
Speaking of Bastiaan... Well in
20 days he'll be celebrating his 28th birthday. Thus I'd like to invite
you to post your Bday wishes for Bastiaan in CITA Birthday corner. Click
HERE.
I'll be publishing your wishes once
a week (during weekend), whereas a few days before his BD more regularly.
PS Since I'm still pretty busy,
you have to forgive me for neglecting my site a bit. However I promise
to be a good girl during the summer. (from July on) |

I've been pretty busy lately with
redesigning my site a bit. Check out the new design of CITA Fun Stuff!
CITA Elections have moved to CITA Poll area and there are two new polls
added there. Check them out and place your votes! Instead of Real CITA,
there is a new section - called Multimedia. Check it out, to find Real
Video clip, wav sounds and a novelty - MP3 samples. I added 11 mp3 samples
from CITA's first album Caught In The Act Of Love. Each is a minute and
a half long and they are really cool. If you don't have an mp3 player yet,
don't worry. You'll find a link to Music Match site, where you'll be able
to download one for free! Albums section is changed as well and so is CITA
Shop. The latter has taken me the longest time to redesign, since I wanted
to make your online shopping much easier! You can compare prices of all
CITA albums available on the net. There are also singles, CITA DVD plus
(thank you Maja from Slovenia for your valuable information!), other CITA
goodies to buy and Benjamin's album as well.
I'll add more mp3's when possible
and I'll also add more lyrics in the future. If any of you has lyrics that
are not published on my site yet in electronic version, I would really
appreciate it if you could mail me.
Now go on, and check out the changes. |

Bastiaan has lost his position in
BRAVO CHARTS TOP 20. Unfortunately!
What's new?
CITA WebSite Ring - I'd like to
invite you - webmasters of CITA sites, or those who have their own web
sites dedicated to Bastiaan, Benjamin, Eloy or Lee (also those who have
sites dedicated to Stephen Gately, however they have to do something with
with Eloy!!!) to join CITA WebSite Ring. Let us create the best online
CITA community. You can join my site ring in seconds. Go to home page and
click on the join button below. You'll be asked to fill in the form (some
basic info about your site) and after I approve your site you'll be a proud
member of CITA WebSite Ring. All you have to do than is to put CITA WebSite
Ring panel on your site. Nothing easier. (All the info you'll need will
be given to you!)
You have nothing to lose! If you
won't like the service you can be removed from the ring at any time.
However I believe it would be a great thing to create an online CITA community,
don't you? Not only that you make your visitors an easier job to search
CITA sites, you'll also get more visitors!
Have you heard of DVD Plus? It's
a special DVD that can be used in two ways - either as DVD or as audio
CD. It looks like an ordinary CD, however it's made of two thin layers,
that allow these two different functions. Why am I telling you that? The
first DVD plus in the world is The Best of Caught In The Act! Ain't
that great?
Not only the best songs from CITA,
also videos, other video clips, karaoke, pictures and lots of other fun
stuff. How do I know that? Unfortunately I do not own one, nor do I know
how can you get it! I'd like to ask you - my dear visitors from Germany
- if you have any idea where and how to get it, how much it costs, please
let me know, so that I'll be able to inform other CITA WebSite visitors.
I mustn't forget to mention Kumiko from Japan, who let me
know about this DVD. Thank you Kumiko! Well, the company to produce this
DVD plus is MAWA from Germany. More about the CITA DVD plus you can find
on the following link:
- http://www.mawa.de/Weltpremiere.htm
I really tried to find some useful
email address to which I could write to, but I haven't had any luck.
It's impossible to find more info about how to purchase the product!
BTW Have you seen this month's pic
of the month?
It's Bastiaan's pic! HERE!
Check out CITA Memorial Wall HERE.
I'm currently working on my CITA
store. Some surprises waiting for you! |

5th March 2000
I hope that you haven't missed Bastiaan
in Taff!
Not much news lately... 8 days to
go till Eloy's birthday, thus I decided to redo our CITA Birthday corner
a bit (you can find it in the Fun Stuff section!). Check it out, since
it's the latest addition to CITA WebSite. Would you like to wish Eloy a
happy birthday? You can do that in CITA Birthday corner! HERE!
I'm currently working on my Fun
Stuff corner. If you have any ideas what else should we put into that corner
please let me know. You can also let me know which are your favourite and
which are your least favourite sections in the Fun Stuff corner.
A lot of you have mailed me lately
asking if I could publish some video clips or MP3s. I'd love to do that
if I only I could. Unfortunately I don't have appropriate hardware nor
software to do so. However I'll try to do sth. about it in the near future.
Have you seen the new Pic of the
month? You haven't??? Than it's the right time to do it right away. HERE!
How do you like CITA calendar? What
about CITA TOP 10? You are still very lazy when it comes to voting!
I'll publish more new images in
the near future (I've already scanned them, now I only have to edit them)
CITA WebSite has now four different
URLs:

New CITA gallery has been opened.
Link HERE. There are a few images added,
but as I already mentioned I'm planning on adding new images all throughout
the year. Some images (only a few) that are published were taken from the
web. I hope that the person who scanned them doesn't mind that I published
them on my site. If (s)he does, please let me know and I'll take the image
off the web. (BTW If you find any broken links, please mail me!) |

If you have missed Bastiaan
on BRAVO TV (on German satellite channel RTL 2 - broadcasted
via Astra satellite!), there's another chance to see him this Saturday
(29th Jan) at 8.05 am CET when the rerun will be on. Don't miss it! It's
in the second half of the show, approximately 5-10 minutes long and he's
talking about his new single, his video (there's a short clip of the video)
and he's really amusing!
More news - as you may have already
noticed CITA Image gallery is currently under construction. It's
getting a whole new look and it'll be reopened in a few days time. (If
you wish to be notified when the gallery reopens join CITA mailing list!)
New images will be added and this is a great opportunity to ask you - my
dear visitors - if you have any CITA images that you'd like to share with
other CITA fans (preferably scanned from magazines, posters and stuff)
please do send them to me on: cita_website@hotmail.com. I'll be more than
glad to publish them!
I'll add more images throughout
the year, after I scann them.
New categories within the Image
gallery are being added - the first one is Pic of the month, and
another one is a voting section (Vote for your favourite pic), where
you'll be able to vote for your favourite picture and help us create CITA
TOP 10! (10 best images on CITA WebSite) I hope you'll like the idea
and that there'll be many votes coming in. I'll update the chart depending
on the number of votes, but most probably the chart will be updated on
the weekly basis. I also created 6 new CITA wallpapers for you to
use! (Wallpapers are being moved from Fun Stuff area to CITA Image gallery!)
More news? Sure! I got an email from
Marielle
from Holland. She'd like to invite you all CITA lovers to join her
friend's Helen's CITA fan list. This service is absolutely

Hello dearest CITA webSite visitors!
It's 2000!!! I hope that you all
will have just a splendid year and that you'll be thinking of our CITA
guys! I also hope that there will be more things happening this year. Last
time I wrote that I'm not sure if Bastiaan's album was out yet in Germany.
Well now I know, thanks to Mandy, Konni and Silke. And the answer is that
it isn't out yeat and that it will be most probably out some time in March
or April this year. The information about Lee is true though - yes he is
STILL working on his album. Benjamin will continue his tour very soon (I'll
keep you informed) and Eloy is also thinking of making his album.
I got a few interviews from Betty
Lui - thanks Betty. I published them in the Interviews and Articles section.
You can read them here. (BTW - they
are actually about Stephen, but since there are some new stuff about Eloy
I decide to publish them).
Our opening site has a new look
again; I hope you like it.
There are some new entries in CITA
Memorial wall, which you can read here.
Jessica - the girl who came up with
the idea of the longest CITA letter - mailed me and told me that she hasn't
gotten any mails from you. Hey CITA fans, that's not nice!!! Be good and
write a few words and mail them to Jessica, so she (and her sister) will
be able to compose the longest CITA letter. Just write whatever you want
- how you like the guys, their music, what you expect from them in the
future. Go on! Don't be so darn lazy!!!! More about CITA letter - HERE. |
