When we heard the news that former 98 Degrees member Jeff Timmons would be donning the celebrated Chippendales bowtie as part of a limited, er, residency, we thought the following:
1. Where do we get tickets? Do you need to get tickets to go to Chippendales? Can you get them on StubHub?
2. Why hasn't anyone done this before?
Boy-band alums from the '90s are the perfect recruits for Chippendales dancery: They are far too old to be parading around shirtless for a teenage fanbase, they're still in great shape, and they certainly can bust a move or two without busting their back. As we drooled with nostalgia over the hip-shaking hunks of yesterday, we felt it only proper to compile a list of boys-turned-men that could certainly strip with the best of 'em:
Kevin Richardson
Where he is now: Having taken a turn as Billy Flynn in Toronto, Japan and Broadway productions of "Chicago," the 39-year-old former Backstreet Boy lives with his wife, whom he met while working at Walt Disney World, and their son, Mason.
Why: Let's be real — the other guys were adorable and all, but Richardson is a tall drink of sexy and always has been. Plus, he's really got his life together! A career post-BSB, a wife, a kid — who doesn't love a man with some maturity?
Hanson
Where they are now: The talented trio are still musically alive and well and are presently playing shows across the country.
Why: The Hanson bros are the original JoBros, and what better way to remind people than with a choreographed dance to Marky Mark's "Good Vibrations"? OK, maybe that won't remind people, but wouldn't it be amazing?
