Backstreet boys member AJ McLean is talking about his difficult road to sobriety.  AJ was on “Good Morning America” and said at one point his bandmates had to break into his place to have a little icy intervention - they poured ice water on him in bed.  AJ has been in and out of rehab for the past 20 years, and said he hit rock bottom 11 months ago in Las Vegas.  AJ is currently doing much better, and is competing on “Dancing with the Stars,” which he is favored to win.

Dr Dre and his 24-year-old son Truice just got matching tattoos.  Dre and Truice showed off the matching in on Instagram.  It’s a big DNA strand intertwined with musical notes, going down the full forearm.  Quite the father-son bonding moment.  Dre and Truice’ s mother Nicole are going through a bitter divorce right now.

While we wait for the next James Bond film “No Time to Die,” we’re hearing about a funny story behind the scenes.   Apparently the cobblestone streets of Matera, Italy were too slippery to film a motorbike chase scene, so star Daniel Craig came up with an idea - Coca-Cola.  The production spent almost €60,000 on 8,500 gallons of Coke to make the streets a bit stick and allow for more traction.  A stunt coordinator for the film says it also makes everything look very clean when it washes off.
