One of the members of the last great American boy band is wondering where all the home grown boy band talent is.

Since leaving N'Sync, Lance Bass has come out and come into his own as a radio host with his own daily show, Dirty Pop with Lance Bass on SiriusXM. He's also been hosting the pre-show at the American Music Awards for the last three years, where the three-time AMA winner spoke with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs about his favorite AMA moments with N'Sync and the current state of boy bands.

When Sean Kingston says he died and came back to life, he isn't kidding.

The singer-rapper is best known for his 2007 smash Beautiful Girls, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but his world turned upside down in May 2011 after a jet skiing accident forced him to undergo open heart surgery. Now fully recovered, he spoke with Hollywire's own Chelsea Briggs at the American Music Awards about his third studio album Back 2 Life, which features the new single Rum and Raybans with Cher Lloyd. "I had to do open heart surgery for my accident and nearly died. So I came back to life and was given a second chance," said Sean.
