The Backstreet Boys were forced to cancel a planned meet-and-greet in New York on Monday (October 5) after member Brian Littrell was diagnosed with swine flu. According to a statement released by the group’s spokesperson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean, as well as the band’s traveling entourage, have all met with a doctor and are not currently showing any symptoms of the highly contagious flu, known as H1N1.
As a preventative measure, the doctor prescribed the drug Tamiflu to the group and their touring party, all of whom just returned from Tokyo. As a result of the diagnosis, the BSB have also been forced to cancel a planned performance for Tuesday on CBS’ “Early Show.” They were scheduled to perform their new single, “Straight Through My Heart,” from their This Is Us album, due Tuesday. An intimate fan-appreciation performance at PC Richard & Son Theater in New York scheduled for Tuesday night has also been postponed.
It was unclear at press time how Littrell’s diagnosis would impact the rest of the band’s promotional schedule for this week. In 1998, Littrell, 34, underwent open-heart surgery to correct a lifelong heart murmur.

Last year, Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin became the poster children for teen pregnancy. Now the Alaskan boy-next-door turned international newsmaker jokes about using protection in a new ad.
In a campaign for Wonderful Pistachios, Levi — with his bodyguard/publicist Tank by his side — swaggers toward the camera wearing a green Alaska shirt and jeans. While photographers snap photos of him and scream his name, the father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild cracks open a nut and pops it in his mouth while a voiceover says: “Now Levi Johnston does it with protection.”
Although he doesn’t utter a single word, this marks Levi’s commercial acting debut. Since Levi split with the failed vice presidential candidate’s eldest daughter earlier this year, he’s made no secret about his desire to become famous — even signing on with a Hollywood agent. He also posed shirtless with his son, Tripp, in GQ magazine.
