Interview by Lance Perkins<br />
TIMMONS<br />
Turning up the Heat<br />
H<br />
appy belated Birthday, Jeff! We’re the same age! With<br />
my birthday just around the corner, I’d like to know how<br />
do you stay in such great shape at 41?<br />
Jeff Timmons; Happy Birthday to you too! Thanks for<br />
the compliment. I just try to stay in the gym, and eat right.<br />
Pretty simple. I’ve been on a low carb diet for years. It works<br />
wonders for me.<br />
I know you’ve been very busy. How was it out touring again<br />
with the 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men and New Kids on the<br />
Block? Jeff; It was a dream tour. The best time I’ve ever had<br />
on the road.<br />
Are you currently working on any new music? Jeff; Yes, I<br />
have a new single coming out! A new music video is around<br />
the corner as well!<br />
That’s great news! I’m also so excited to hear that have a<br />
hot new reality show coming out, June 1st on E Television.<br />
Jeff; Yes! We filmed the movie for the series, “Men of the<br />
Strip” here in Las Vegas. We just finished about two weeks<br />
ago. It was a blast. The interesting thing about the show is<br />
the guys. It’s about their lives, and how a bunch of type A’s interact<br />
with each other, and their quest to be the best at what<br />
they do. We made a conscious effort to select talented guys.<br />
I can’t wait to see it! Who creates all those sexy dance<br />
moves for you guys? Jeff; Glenn Douglas Packard is our<br />
choreographer. He’s amazing. He’s got an incredible vision.<br />
Glenn is known for choreographing Michael Jackson, Pink,<br />
Usher, and many incredible artists.<br />
Do you sing any of your hits on the show? Jeff; I do! You<br />
have to sing the 98 Degrees classics. They’re what got me to<br />
where I am.<br />
Will your personal life, (wife & kids) be included in the TV<br />
series? What do they think of it? Jeff; They are a small part of<br />
it. They love the show. I’ve been striving to get this on television<br />
for awhile, and they are very supportive and happy for<br />
me.<br />
That’s wonderful. I know you’ve done a lot of philanthropy<br />
to support children and also for AIDS, including St. Jude<br />
Children’s Hospital and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatrics Aids<br />
Foundation. Jeff; Yes, I’ve done a lot with St. Jude’s, Elizabeth<br />
Glaser, Race to Erase for MS, Susan G. Komen, I’ve headlined<br />
various Pride parade’s, and I am an equal rights advocate.<br />
You HAVE to give back.<br />
You’ve always been such a friend and brother, so to speak<br />
to the gay community. Do you have anything to say to your<br />
gay fans? Jeff; Like all fans, you are appreciated and not ever<br />
taken for granted. I’m blessed and thankful for the support.<br />
I appreciate the dedication and loyalty from the fan base for<br />
nearly 20 years now.<br />
Thank you Jeff!
