AJ EXCLUSIVE ON 20/20- connie chung interviews Denise McLean and talks about Alex and AJ. AJ is the one who "makes all these pelvic thrusts and does all this stuff to drive the girls crazy. And A.J. is the one that got the tattoos, and A.J.'s the one that colors his hair." McLean said. On the other hand, "Alex is the complete opposite--the sweetest, most gentle person you could ever imagine. He's kind. He's got a heart of gold. He loves his family. He loves his puppies to death." After the sucess of the Backstreet Boys, the Alex part of the 23 year old Alexander James McLean, Denise explains that the Backstreet Boy bad boy "got smothered by A.J. He just got lost in the hype, the drinking, the lifestyle, the fame."

AJ is now out of rehab but is still under doctor supervision. the black & blue tour will resume on August 24th in Milwaukee.
