Jeff Timmons on 98 Degrees reunion rumors

 
Earlier this month, millions of pop music fans were excited when they heard rumors that former ’90s boy band 98 Degrees was reuniting for a tour this summer.

Unfortunately, said rumors were quickly shot down by band member and soon-to-be-father Nick Lachey, who on Twitter wrote, “So psyched to see all the excitement for a 98 degree tour, but the only tour I’ll be doing this summer is at baby’s ‘r us.” (Nick and his wife, Vanessa Lachey, are expecting their first child together this year.)

“I honestly don’t think it’s gonna happen at all now,” founder and creator of 98 Degrees Jeff Timmons said, candidly. “If it wasn’t gonna happen now, it wasn’t gonna happen last year … Maybe it’ll never happen.”

“We had gotten serious about it,” he said, of the proposed summer tour. “So much so that a tour was being put together for us; a 15-city tour. We got on the phone, all of the guys discussed it, and it seemed like a go. And then not everybody wanted to do it, for various reasons. We make decisions collectively as a group; not one person make decisions. [Since] not all four of us were on the same page, we decided not to do it.”

“I would love to get back in the studio with 98 degrees, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen,” Timmons says. “Some of us want to do music, and some of us don’t. We all gotta want to do it; we can’t be forced into that. It’ll come through in the music. So, I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I would love the opportunity, but right now it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna go down.”

Cee Lo Green – shirtless and buff as a Chippendale?

The Voice judge Cee Lo Green in the new issue of Jet magazine, which features the surprisingly buff singer shirtless and Chippendales-worthy as their “Beauty of the Week.”

Oh wait. What’s that fine print in the upper left corner?

“Yes, your mind is playing tricks on you. Cee Lo’s brawny build is courtesy of photographer Derek Blanks.”

Photoshop is a beautiful thing.

Jake Pavelka joins Chippendales for ’10 years in Las Vegas’ celebration

Some red carpet action with the world-famous Chippendales, who just celebrated their 10th year of being “the ultimate girls night out” in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino.

Joining them for the month long celebration is star of “The Bachelor” and “Dancing With The Stars” Jake Pavelka, as their new celebrity MC/Host.

Jake was joined on the red carpet by his gorgeous girlfriend, model and sports announcer Ashley Ann Vickers.

James Davis, Billy Jeffrey, Nathan Minor and Chaun Thomas of The Chippendales took to the red carpet in anticipation of the onstage celebration performance with all of the Las Vegas Chippendales en masse (final photo reading left to right): Juan DeAngelo, Sami Eskeline, Kenny King, Jaymes Vaughan, John Rivera, Nathan Minor, John Cook, James Davis, Dave Abrams, Chaun Thomas and Jace Crispin.

The sold-out audience for the 10th Anniversary performance was packed wall to wall with fans, who were clearly having a great time. Jake Pavelka kept the high energy show moving, while clearly charming the audience.

I think the show is great fun. I love seeing the ladies lose their minds in good, clean, adult fun. And I love that, while the show is certainly geared towards women – as “the ultimate girls night out” – men are welcome at the show. The men of Chippendales put on a great show for all their fans.

Fun night.

Jake Pavelka makes his Las Vegas debut with the men of Chippendales

Jake Pavelka’s first night as Celeb Host at Chippendales
had a sold out audience

Fun night tonight at The Chippendales show at the Rio Casino and All-Suites Hotel in Las Vegas.

Jake Pavelka was very charming with the audience – his first night as the new Celebrity Host of the show. The audience clearly was excited to see him and he was very comfortable interacting with the audience as the MC of the most famous ‘girls night out’ in the world.

And after the show he took plenty of time to pose for pics with members of the audience & the men of Chippendales.

Good for Jake. As a native Texan myself, I can say he did everyone proud and showed a lot of confidence and charm with, what he’s referred to as, his first live audience.

Ladies who make their way to The Chippendales in Las Vegas over the next four weeks can look forward to a good time with the men of Chippendales and the very charming and capable Jake Pavelka.

Jake Pavelka opens in Las Vegas as Celeb Guest host of Chippendales

The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars alum Jake Pavelka is suiting up – or down? – for his new gig in Sin City.

He’s the new celebrity host of the best-selling  Chippendales show at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in front of a live audience.

Not only that, Jake told RadarOnline his job is to “get the girls into their underwear!”

Preparing for his debut, Jake’s dealing with a case of nerves right now. Although he’s “been nervous for a month,” the buff star added, “Everything I’ve done before this has been scripted shows or taped but this is the real deal….I’m intimidated to shake it on stage.”

Fans won’t see him stripping or performing on stage since he pointed out, “I can’t dance! These Chippendales have choreography, they’re professionals.”

I don’t know about dancing, but I’m sure the ladies in the audience are looking forward to at least a glimpse of Jake shirtless.  He’s got the body for it, and if he was fit enough to be shirtless on The Bachelor on TV, surely he can give his Vegas audience just a second of pecs and abs….?

98 Degrees Star Jeff Timmons Congratulates Jake Pavelka on Joining the Chippendales

Jake Pavelka and Jeff Timmons

From IN Touch: Jake Pavelka, the former star of The Bachelor, will be honing his emcee skills as a celebrity guest host for a month as Chippendales celebrates its 10th anniversary at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas beginning on February 23.

While the sexy reality star will not be stripping to his skivvies, Jeff Timmons, formerly of the über-popular boy band 98 Degrees, has shown his perfect pecs on the Chippendales stage and has some words of advice for Jake.

“Jake is gonna have a blast!” Jeff tells In Touch exclusively. “The Chipps are wild and crazy, but at the same time, first-class! The girls get a little bananas, so we’ll see if he can handle it.”

Jeff’s limited one-month run was such a sold-out smash last year that it was extended for a whole summer.
