Thanx to Lesley!

Kane: JC, what’s going on, my brother?

JC: What’s goin’ on?

Kane: Uh, nothin’. Let me take a quick break, ’cause I’m runnin’ behind. Are you in a time crunch?

JC: No, what’s up?

Kane: Perfect. Would you ever do this? Would you ever, uh, get into a car with a fan and uh, drive into a party if they were 17 and 15?

JC: Uh, you know, probably not. [Laughs]

Follow up:

Kane: Not, not the smartest thing in the world to do. How are you at, where are you at right now?

JC: I’m actually in London.

Kane: Are you really?

JC: Yeah.

Kane: And you’re flying back, uh, you’re probably flying back either tonight or tomorrow to hang out with us on Friday at the Little Black Dress Party…

JC: Exactly.

Kane: …which we are so excited about, to have you back at home, ’cause of course you’re from Bowie.

JC: Exactly:

Kane: When do you leave London?

JC: Uh, I leave tomorrow morning.

Kane: Oh, man. So you’re gonna fly into Dulles?

JC: Uh, probably, yeah.

Kane: That’s amazing. It must be good to be you.

JC: [Laughs] Everything’s cool except for the jet lag, man.

Kane: Oh, it’s all right, you’ll get over it! The party on Friday, uh, if you don’t know the whole deal, it’s a Little Black Dress party. The women that are showing up wearing little black dresses, uh, it’s gonna be packed, and everyone’s going crazy since we made the announcement that you’re gonna be there co-hosting the evening. It’s just, [in a high voice] “JC Chasez!!”

Kane: You ever get tired of women throwing themselves at you, and underwear at you, and, you know, bein’ a pimp?

JC: [In a mock-serious tone] That’s terrible. It’s, it’s horrible.

Kane: Horrible.

JC: No, not at all. It’s funny, though, because I’m comin’ over there, my phone has not stopped ringing ’cause everybody – like all my old friends and stuff like that, have been blowin’ up my phone.

Kane: So they’re gonna come out on Friday as well?

JC: Yeah, I mean, it’s gonna be hard not to…

Kane: It’s gonna be great. I was readin’ all these stories about you a couple months ago, about the MySpaces, and crazy people pretending to be your friend on MySpace, creating fake names. Does this get annoying and are you tired of dealing with all this stuff? ‘Cause it’s just gotta get overwhelming.

JC: It’s just a strange thing, you know. MySpace is helpful in that it creates a community where you can reach out to your fans and things like that. And other times like you said, they pretend to be you and then all of a sudden…it happened to me twice actually. I ended up getting kicked off because MySpace itself didn’t think I was me.

Kane: Oh, you’re kidding!

JC: No. So, I mean, I had to call in, you know, I had to call the company and tell them, “Look, I’m me. Whoever’s telling you that they’re me is not,” you know. It was a strange thing. But that was the part that got annoying about it. The rest, you know, I really don’t care, it’s something folks do when they’re bored or whatever, but the frustrating part is the kids that really want to interact with me and stuff like that – it shut them down a couple of times.

Kane: Sure.

JC: I was getting shut down. [Laughs]

Kane: Absolutely. You should invent like a card, like an official passport card and be like, “Look, I’m JC Chasez. Do you know who I am?” and that way you flash it whenever you’re going anywhere.

JC: Nah, it’s all good.

Kane: This new album, on the way out in 2007…

JC: Mm hm.

Kane: The new single, “Until Yesterday.” What inside scoop can you give the DC listening audience on the new CD, ’cause I’m sure, like me – I’m excited about the new stuff you got.

JC: Well, it’s great, man. And uh, I spent pretty much the last year of my life putting this record together. I ended up working with some great people on this record – some people that are new, some people I’ve worked with before. I got back together with Dallas, who I did “Blowin’ Me Up” with…

Kane: Right.

JC: …and I did a couple of songs with him. The first single is actually co-written and co-produced by Justin, uh, Timberlake…uh, he seems to be on fire. [Laughs]

Kane: [Laughs] Yeah, I think people have heard of Justin too.

JC: Yeah, you know, he does some good stuff.

Kane: Yeah.

JC: Um, but that was fun. It’s a really smart record, man. It’s a really, really smart pop record. The sound is a bit more focused, you know, the stories are great, the tracks feel good. It’s just an all-around really, really, really great record.

Kane: Was the, uh, was “Blowin’ Me Up” the last big solo single that you had? And that was 2002, 2001?

JC: Somewhere around there, 2002 I think, yeah, that was the last thing I released.

Kane: When you’re gettin’ ready and you put a year’s worth of work and emotional sweat into a record like this, even as a seasoned professional like yourself, do you still get the nerves?

JC: Oh, of course, man. You know, it’s like, every time you put your heart and soul on the line, it’s a scary thing. I’m sure you ask anybody who works hard and cares about what they do, they’re gonna get nervous about something. Any athlete that’s gotta step up to the plate in the ninth inning, they’re gonna be a little nervous when they take the plate.

Kane: Yeah, absolutely. And as we go into, uh, Friday with the Little Black Dress party, are any plans of your showin’ up with women, or…

JC: Heck, no, man! You don’t bring sand to the beach!

Kane: I was askin’ but I wanted to be polite about how I asked!

JC: [Laughs]

Kane: No, I agree, ’cause you were just voted Hottest Bachelor of 2006 by People Magazine.

JC: Yeah.

Kane: Yeah! You know, “That’s me, I’m JC Chasez, that’s what I do! I look good, I make hits! That’s all I do! And I’m showin’ up single!”

JC: [Laughs]

Kane: And, and you are single?

JC: Yeah. I’m a single guy.

Kane: The rumors surrounding you and certain dancers are not true? Karina?

JC: Pardon me?

Kane: The rumors surrounding you and Karina, are they true or not?

JC: I don’t even know who Karina is!

Kane: Karina from Dancing with the Stars! There was a huge rumor last week, two weeks ago!

JC: Oh yeah, no, you know what that was? It was just a matter of…I ended up going to her charity event…

Kane: Ohh.

JC: …and, uh, people made – we took a couple pictures together while I was there.

Kane: Mm hm.

JC: Everybody made a big deal out of nothing.

Kane: I like how it’s called “going to a charity event” now. That’s slick, I like that.

JC: Well, it was, it was like a fundraiser. So I ended up going because it was a fundraiser, and when I got there I just hopped on the red carpet, and she was the one – it was her and her girlfriends, I guess, who put the whole thing together. She was like, “Hi, I’m Karina,” da da da dah, “This is actually my event, would you mind taking some photos?” and we just took a couple pictures.

Kane: And the next thing you know, you’re datin’ her!

JC: We all moved on with our lives, and all of a sudden you open up a magazine or look at whatever article, and it was just made out to be a whole lot more than it was.

Kane: Let’s start some good rumors on Friday! Maybe some local DC women we can start some good – get a couple good photo ops with women around here, and make it be like, “He’s got my baby!”

JC: [Laughs]

Kane: “JC Chasez is my baby’s daddy!”

JC: No, no, no babies. We can take some photos, but no babies.

Kane: [Laughs] Dude, we’re lookin’ forward to, uh, seein’ you in DC on Friday, and I hope your flight from London tomorrow is a safe one.

JC: Yeah.

Kane: And, uh, I look forward to hosting the Little Black Dress with you, bro.

JC: Thanks, man. I’m lookin’ forward to it as well. It’s gonna be a good time.

Kane: Absolutely. We’ll get more details on the album, too, as they come in. JC Chasez, thanks for being on the show this morning, brother.

JC: No sweat!

Kane: Have a great day!

JC: All right, you too.
