...since Kevin Richardson departed the group. Nothing would please me more than to report that the Backstreet Boys had produced an album that reattained their infectious pop peak, complete with shimmy-inducing songs of unrequited love and perhaps a chart-topping ballad or two. Unfortunately, those who remember the heartthrob heyday of the Backstreet Boys (who can forget the rain sequence in the music video for “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”?) will be sorely disappointed.

Khan doesn't get to show any cool dance moves while wooing a beautiful female lead, or display his well-toned muscles in fight sequences with bad guys. In fact, the film gets by without a single song-and-dance routine at all. Yet, it ran to packed houses even two months after...
...heartthrob, but he's also a serious Darfur activist who knows what it's like to be different in high school. His latest movie, Michael Clayton, opens Oct. 12. George Clooney will now take your questions...
