Stephen Gately, part of the Irish boy band Boyzone, was found dead while on vacation in Spain. He was 33.
The circumstances of his death are still unclear -- the band released a statement that simply said he "tragically died."
Boyzone was one of the biggest acts in Ireland in the 1990s. The band had announced a comeback tour last year.
Gately became something of a gay icon in the U.K. after he announced he was gay 10 years ago. He married his partner Andrew Cowles (Elton John introduced them) in a civil union in 2006.
Boy band man Lou Pearlman -- the guy who made the Backstreet Boys and 'NSYNC famous -- just got 25 years in the big house for money laundering and conspiracy, among other shady s**t.
Big Lou pleaded guilty back in March to a long, complicated con game that basically pumped up his net worth and cheated other people out of millions. The judge gave him the maximum sentence.
MTV's search for the new Menudo has wrapped up, and while the show has not yet aired, and the boys not yet revealed, they've been hard at work in the studio. TMZ just got an exclusive leak of their new song, "More Than Words." The song has a catchy beat and definitely has the boy band sound. But how are people going to react to the next generation of Menudo? Take a listen.

6) Jen Has Just GOTTA KNOW: Is 'N SYNC still a band?
The pop band 'N SYNC has been on hiatus since 2002 after the release of their album "Celebrity." Although it seems as if they have called it quits, no official "they aren't together" has been released. Since their break, two members have come out with projects. Justin Timberlake just released the single "SexyBack" on July 7 (off his second solo venture), while JC Chasez is also in studio recording his second album, which can be expected late summer/early fall of this year. Lance Bass became a cosmonaut, however a trip way up north has yet to be accomplished due to financing. He is, however, focusing on his film production company Bacon & Eggs. Joey Fatone has tried his hand out at acting and has appeared in such flicks as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "The Cooler." And Chris Kirkpatrick has been recording with his other band Nigels 11.
