Backstreet Boy -- Engaging Behavior at Nightclub

AJ McLean had a crazy night in Vegas -- dude proposed to his girlfriend in the middle of a nightclub ... minutes after running into a jewelry store and buying the ring.

AJ McLean

It all went down inside the Hard Rock Hotel Friday night -- AJ and his then girlfriend Rochelle Karidis were partying inside the Wasted Space nightclub, when he sprinted to the jewelry store inside the casino, picked out a ring, and ran back into club.

When the clock struck midnight -- AJ's birthday -- he ran to the stage, grabbed the mic, dropped to his knee and popped the question ... and she said yes.

To the person who asked about partying: It is possible to party and not drink or do drugs. You can dance, sing, and have a good time. He's still in the media, obviously, so I doubt he's drinking where people are taking his pictures.

Why do you people so mean?? If you don't like somebody, just don't look at that person and don't read about him...

Happy for him=))

How about a tattoo of some hair on top of your head next time, AJ?

He looks like Chris Daughtry. I know it couldn't be Chris, as he is already married. It's nice to see that he put a lot of thought into picking out the ring (*sarcasm*).

Congrats on the engagement A.J.!! To all the people hatin' on him, consider the fact that he has achieved more success in life than you haters ever will. His (boy) band has sold over 100 million albums. So I know you cool peeps are all into Brand New and The Used cuz boy bands are gay, right...but let's remember that making fun of a famous, successful person does not elevate you to a higher status. A.J. is considered hot, talented, and very cool by millions of female (and perhaps male) fans...go buy a Miley Cyrus CD...cuz Backstreet has no talent (insert sarcasm)

It's as if the world doesn't know - or doesn't care - about the health risks of hair dyes.

Pray for her health.

Woo-hoo you go, A.J. Hope you find much happiness with your future wife to be - you deserve it! You faced your addictions and beat them, you've been clean for years now, BSB is back on top bigger and better than ever, on a world tour now, still selling out every where they go.

You guys have worked so hard and deserve all the success you've got. NOTHING's got you down, not the haters, not the health problems, not the legal problems, you kept going and proved you're troopers and still ending up on top!

In this day and age of computerized vocals and fly by night "stars" your talent and drive have kept you going strong.

BSB ROCKS! BSB forever!

And for the dummy who said he can't party cuz he kicked the drugs, oh yes you can party without drugs or alcohol.

BSB has always been involved with children's charities, they don't get any credit for this, because they don't make a big deal about it in the media, but if you knew more about them they have done so much in this regard.

LOVE you guys, you are a CLASS ACT! When you come to T.O. Ontario, I'll be there!
