The Backstreet Boys are back together and we were at the Good Morning America Summer Concert Series to witness one of their first performances with returning member, Kevin Richardson. The crowd went wild when his solo came up in "I Want It That Way." We missed you too, Kevin!

The audience was able to watch and listen in on their sound check before the show to get a sneak peak on how the guys warm up. During the performance they gave a shout out to One Direction, sang a little bit of The Wanted's "Glad You Came," (to thank us for coming!) and put together a short medley of Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" along with their own song of the same name!

All five boys will be on tour in 2013, are currently recording an album to be released by the end of 2012, and they're even hosting a cruise in October to celebrate their 20th anniversary together with fans!

J-14 Hot Music Alert: GOLDHOUSE

GOLDHOUSE-Everything.jpg

J-14 is scouting out the hottest music around... and this week's pick is GOLDHOUSE!

Here are five things you need to know about GOLDHOUSE whose new EP All Night Long is out now!

1. GOLDHOUSE is the latest creation of singer, writer, and producer Grant Harris who has been surrounded by music since he was a kid. "My entire family is musical so I've always been around music.  I'm not sure any one thing inspired me to go into music, it just kind of happened," Grant tells J-14. "I started writing music for fun and as I got deeper and deeper into it I kind of just realized it was meant to be."

2. The best way to describe his music is 'unique'. "The blanket genre I guess you could categorize it in is pop/electro but once you listen to the record you'll see that its kind of all over the place," he says. "I have so many different influences that I don't think I could ever just write one type of music. I just try to keep everything I do fun and danceable... cause isn't music better that way?"

3. GOLDHOUSE's current EP All Night Long tells a story of love, relationships, and everything in between. "The sweet side, the dirty side, the non-existent side," Grant tells J-14. "I think its hard for anyone to not find at least one song on the record they can't relate to."

Torion is taking the R&B world by storm! With a fresh new single "Smile" and a spot on the Scream tour with Diggy Simmons and The OMG Girlz, Torion recently took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with J-14 about his music, his fans, and how he got discovered!

J-14: This has been a crazy year for you! Tell us all about it!
Torion: I shot three mixed tapes, and I just dropped my fourth one. Right now we're working on the first album. The new single, "Smile," just came out so we've been working on that.

J-14: We read you got discovered at church. How did that all happen?
Torion:
It was great. I was just miming and my dad was preaching. My manager saw me in the crowd and was like, "You got talent." He pulled me to the side, I sang for him, and he flew me straight out to Miami and I auditioned for Lil Wayne.

J-14: What went through your mind when you found out you'd be part of the 'Scream' tour?
Torion:
I was so excited because I would see Diggy and all these people, and I'd be like, "Man, I can't wait until I get up there." So now that I'm up there I'm freaking out!

J-14 Exclusive Q&A with Angelique Sabrina

Angelique-Sabrina.jpg

Singer/songwriter Angelique Sabrina comes to us straight from the Bahamas and at just 14 years old she is well beyond her years in terms of confidence and experience. J-14 recently caught up with her when she was in the U.S. to talk about her unique island sound and her catchy new singles, "Pull Up" and "Stop Sign."

J14: In your video for "Pull Up" there's a lot of dancing. How did you learn how to dance and did you help choreograph?

Angelique:
As a kid I was always in and out of dance classes and I also watch dancers very carefully. If I like a dancer, I'll go on YouTube and watch a video of them dancing. I co-choreographed [the "Pull Up" video] with another choreographer in the Bahamas.

J14: How would you describe your sound?

Angelique:
My sound is very island. It's pop, its urban. It has all of the flavors in it, because I'm an island girl. We put all of my flavors inside of it and pull from other influences of mine and people that I look up too as well like Michael Jackson, Frank Ocean, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole and James Brown.

J-14: Tell us about the first time you performed in front of a crowd.

Angelique: That was when I entered myself in a talent competition [at school] and I wrote my own song. I was by my grandmother's [house] when I was eight and this little melody came into my head. I liked it a lot so I put words to it. I wrote it about my friend and I sang it for my mom and my dad and they're like "Oh, this is what you're performing." At first I was going to do a Hannah Montana song. I had my dance and everything and they're like "No, no, no, this is what you're doing, I like this." So that's what I sang and I [played] a little piano as well.

J-14: Do you play any other instruments?

Angelique:
I've played so many instruments, but I put them all down. I played piano, guitar, flute, drums. I've experimented with a lot.

J-14: What's one thing you want our readers to know about you?


Angelique:
If they've listened to "Pull Up" I want them to expect the unexpected, because "Pull Up" isn't the depth of the album. It's not everything we're working on. Don't expect that one sound from every song, it's going to be very different.

Justin Bieber Cooks Noodles, Niall Horan Eats Them

The first time J-14 Magazine met One Direction's Niall Horan backstage at a concert in London back in January, he immediately grabbed a copy of the magazine and pointed at Justin Bieber and said, "J.B. You are the man!" We asked him, "Is he as big here in the U.K. as he is in the U.S.?" "Oh yeah, he's big, big time," Niall told us.

Back then, Niall Horan was just a Justin Bieber fan who loved when he was compared to his idol. "I've been compared to Justin Bieber a few times, which I can't complain about," Niall says.

Fast forward to September and Niall is hanging out at Justin Bieber's house -- doing what?! Cooking noodles with him!

Yes, it seems like a page out of Fan Fiction, but Niall found himself side-by-side with Justin in his kitchen. There stood Justin behind the stove wearing a backwards cap and a big grin as he served Niall noodles. Niall carefully held out a square-shaped bowl with two hands and had a slight look of concern on his face.

Justin Tweeted the black-and-white photo at 1:57 a.m. L.A. time on September 7 with the caption "At my house cookin some noodles with @NiallOfficial", just hours after One Direction won three MTV VMA Awards.

And Niall Horan wasn't the only one hanging out with Justin Bieber. Just 49 minutes before that, Justin Tweeted a photo of himself with both Niall and Zayn Malik with the caption, "chillin with the homies."

But back to the big question: Who ate more noodles: Justin Bieber or Niall Horan? No contest there -- it was Niall Horan all the way! "They were good but he wouldn't eat them, so I ate his too! 2 bowls! #hardasnails"

So that means basically Justin Bieber cooked noodles for Niall Horan to eat? This just might be our favorite celebrity story of the year. Nah, make that of all time. Maybe...

What do you guys think of Justin Bieber and Niall Horan hanging out?

Last night was Fashion's Night Out in New York City -- a crazy night where stores open their doors and designers and celebs alike celebrate New York Fashion Week -- and J-14 was lucky enough to hang out with actress Britt Robertson! We caught up with her backstage before her appearance at Macy's to promote her awesome new gig: being the face of Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger!

Tommy Girl has tons of great back-to-school clothes and awesome layering pieces to help you create your favorite fall looks -- and at amazing prices! From must-have basic polos to super-flattering dresses, Tommy Hilfiger has the perfect preppy BTS feel, so of course we had to ask Britt to spill all of her easy-to-steal celeb style secrets!

J-14: What is the perfect outfit for back-to-school?
Britt Robertson:
I'm really into mixing and matching -- like a cool top with a blazer or a vest. The best thing to do is buy pieces that you can recycle and create a lot of different looks from. I'm a pretty casual person, but I also like to dress things up with jewelry, accessories and great shoes!

J-14: What was your worst first day of school outfit ever?
Britt: When I was younger, I had these cheetah overalls and I was obsessed with them! I was obsessed to the point where I wore them, like, twice a week but with different t-shirts. And I had a matching cheetah headband! That was the worst.

J-14: How about now: what are some style rules you live by?
Britt:
Cheetah pants are a don't! [Laughs] But I'd also say over-styling [is bad]. As far as fashion do's, I'd say find the right jeans.. You can pretty much do anything right from there!

J-14: Okay spill, what's the style advice that you live by?
Britt:
I always say, "If you think it's too much, it probably is."

J-14: If J-14 readers only buy one new clothing item for fall, what should it be?
Britt:
A really awesome blazer! You can put t-shirts under it and it makes any look just a little bit more sophisticated.

Ever since Megan & Liz won Macy's iHeart Radio Rising Star contest in May, their career has been on the fast track. They released a new song called "Bad for You," which is featured on the Macy's commercial along with clips from the music video.

The twin sisters also scored a coveted gig playing at the U.S. Open's Arthur Ashe Kids' Day -- and J-14 Magazine met up with them there backstage. And since the girls grew up playing tennis, it was the perfect event for them to be part of.

"We'd love to play against Serena and Venus Williams," Megan & Liz said. "Obviously since they're sisters, we've always known about them." The girls also said they were excited to see some of tennis' biggest stars like Andy Roddick. "But any tennis player in general is probably going to be cute, so I'm stoked to meet any of them," Megan tells J-14. We have to agree with you there, Megan!

So how did the sisters do when they actually played tennis themselves? "They tried to put us on a doubles team in high school, but we fought too much," Liz laughs. But thankfully they make the perfect duo when it comes to music.

Megan & Liz also took part in J-14 Magazine's exclusive web series, "When I was 14..." Check out their video here...

Demi-Lovato-Niall-Horan-date.jpg

Over the past couple of months there has been tons of speculation about Demi Lovato and One Direction's Niall Horan. Both Demi and Niall admitted to having crushes on each other and having a few Skype dates, but they had never met -- until the MTV VMAs! They chatted for a few minutes backstage at the VMAs and then after the ceremony went to Harry Morton's Pink Taco in Century City where it seemed like they were on an "intimate date."

However, what looked like a date didn't turn out to be. Demi has previously said that she and Niall are just friends and she plans to remain single for a year. "No, I'm not [with Nial]," Demi says. "He's really sweet and he's one of my really good friends now. But I'm single at the moment. And I plan to be for a long time because I need to focus on my career and myself and my well-being before I think about getting in a relationship with anyone."

Demi is also reportedly still head over heels in love with ex, Wilmer Valderrama! Good news, Directioners -- looks like Niall is still on the market!

Do you think Niall Horan and Demi Lovato would make a good couple?

Gossip Girl starlet Blake Lively and actor Ryan Reynolds tied the knot this weekend in South Carolina after quietly dating for one year. The two met while they were filming The Green Lantern in 2011 and purchased a house together in Bedford, New York, six months later.

The couple got married at the historic Boone Halle Plantation and Gardens (which is the setting for some of the scenes in the movie 'The Notebook'!) on Sunday evening in front of 60 friends. Blake wore a Chanel gown and danced the night away to live performances from Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine and Bette Midler during the reception.
