Hanson Win This Week’s Hotness!

It was a battle that spanned 61 countries and kept you awake and refreshing at all hours of the day and night. But now, fans of Hanson, NKOTB and Backstreet Boys, your hard work is done. By the time polls closed at 9 a.m. ET, Hanson was clearly the winner of this week’s Hotness. The count was 8,009 to 6,321, and those NKOTBSB loyalists put up a good fight, evening the tally at more than a few moments in the past three days. And we have good news for all of you: There IS enough room in this world for more than one all-grown-up boy band from the ’90s!

And at last, Hansonites, you can ice your mouse-clicking fingers and rest those wrists … right after you watch this online-exclusive video of the guys perform “MMMBop” in the Big Morning Buzz Live studio and flip through a gallery of them singing their thanks to you for proving their everlasting Hotness.

Hanson Vs. NKOTBSB: Who Is This Week’s Hotness?

There are so many fluorescent colors, baggy sweaters, flannel and wild floral patterns out there these days, sometimes we wonder if we passed out and woke up in a ’90s time-travel movie. Thankfully, it’s just time for all those unflattering fashions to cycle back into the mix. But the die-hard fans of this week’s hotness competitors will tell you that Hanson, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys never went out of style.

Whether it’s due to nostalgia or a new body of work, Hanson and supergroup NKOTBSB are still drawing flocks of ladies to their shows. (For Hanson’s show at New York’s Best Buy Theater yesterday, following their appearance on Big Morning Buzz Live, there were fans lined up around the block.) What we’re really wondering, however, is which all-grown-up boy band has the fan power and smoldering looks to be This Week’s Hotness?

Peruse the gallery while humming your fave ’90s hit and vote! Polls close at 9 a.m. ET on Friday.

We all know the Hanson brothers are doing their part to fill the world with beautiful music while populating it with beautiful people (they’ve got eight kids between them, so far). But when the guys stopped by Big Morning Buzz Live to chat about their ongoing tour, we asked them the question on about 7.3 million (sleep-deprived) Walking Dead fans’ minds: Are Hanson prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse?

“If the Zombie Apocalypse comes, you want to be with Hanson,” Taylor, 28, answered with confidence.

“For one, we live in Oklahoma, so …,” Isaac, 31, reasoned, as Taylor completed the thought, “We own weapons.”

“We live on enough land that there probably aren’t going to be that many walkers, at least for a while, around the house, which is good, ” explained baby bro Zac, who turns 26 on Saturday.

Hanson To Justin Bieber: Just Say Yes To Drugs

In our inaugural Save Justin Bieber Wednesdays piece featuring the Backstreet Boys, TheFABlife reader Krissie commented that Justin’s doing fine and doesn’t need saving. Well, Krissie, we only half agree with you . Yes, Justin’s handling fame well. But, Krissie, it’s all about the odds! How many have reached superstardom at an early age only to crash and burn later? So think of our campaign as a preemptive strike against a future that could hold a cycle of drugs and rehab and general craziness.

Speaking of drugs and craziness, Hanson has some hilarious advice for Justin Bieber this week. Hint: It has to do with methamphetamines.

If you have your own advice for Justin Bieber, leave it in the comments section of this post along with your name. We may read advice from readers on video next Wednesday.

Free Drake Concert Canceled After Overcrowded Fans Riot

Drake

Looks like someone didn’t realize how many kids watch DeGrassi! A free concert at Manhattan’s South Street Seaport featuring Drake and Hanson had to be canceled yesterday after 20,000 fans showed up—twice as many as expected. Already concerned with the overcrowding, the Mmm-cops finally intervened when chairs and bottles started being launched. “I love performing for my fans but unfortunately the show was cancelled by the NYPD due to overcrowding, leaving me without the chance to give my fans a real show,” Drake explained to AllHiphop.com. “I’m thankful for the support that the fans have been giving me. I thank you now.” Honestly, though, they only thought 10,000 people would show for rap’s Rick Springfield (the week his long-awaited album finally drops) and an opening act whose rabid cult has existed for over a decade? Was this concert sponsored by Bad Idea Jeans?

Hanson – Who Knew They’d Be So Fertile?

Eleven years ago, Hanson‘s “MMMBop” was inescapable. It was a catchy pop tune with a low-budget, green-screeny video, but what was more intriguing was the age of the band members. Zac, the youngest Hanson was all of 11, Taylor, the pretty, middle one, 14, and 17-year-old Isaac was positively ancient but necessary to round out the band. So now let’s discuss the fact that the three brothers have produced a total of six kids — and Taylor, now a ripe old 25, is expecting another (his fourth). If you were going to go for the easy joke, you’d maybe talk about how that’s a lot of Mmmbopping. He’s still pretty, after all. But that’s just so obvious. [Photo: FilmMagic]
