---!> Ginuwine will appear on the pop group *Nsync's new album on the track entitled "Don't Take Your Love Away" thats's why Ginuwine thank's them in his thank you's.  He also plans to do some kind of collaboration with the Backstreet Boys sometime in the future.

TV Appearances:

~!!~!!~ Ginuwine won't be on anything that I know of as of right now but they did show a little clip of him back in '94 on BET on June 23rd.  If you missed it don't worry it was only a quick lil thing he didn't even get a chance to talk. All they said was that he was a solo artist and that his nickname was Tornado.

-Elgin is in the latest issue of insider: a picture from Soul Train Awards.

-Spice!: A pull-out poster of Mr. Lumpkin lookin' fine as hell.

-Fresh!: Two pages of Ginuwine from Chicago where he did an in-store signing and visited a few other places.

*Backstage Pass*

Nickname: "G. If people call me by my real name [Elgin Lumpkin], I won't answer."

Great First Date:"I would take her go-carting and then to dinner and a horror movie.  I love when girls get scared and cuddle up to me."

If I Weren't A Singer, I'd Be: "A boxer, like Sugar Ray."

Favorite Meal To Prepare:"I can't cook, but I can make a mean microwave dinner- my favorites are Salisbury steak and turkey."

Favorite Flick:"I like gangsta movies, like New Jack City or Juice.  But nothing compares to Scareface.  I think everyone wants to be a ganster at one time or another."

Favorite Hangout:"The basement of my house is so cool.  Not only is my recording studio down there, but so are all sixty of my Sony PlayStation games-I've been collecting them since they came out.  I only like the sports and fighting ones."

Last Concert Attended:"Jay-Z."

Guilty Pleasure:"KFC's Original Recipe wings with french fries."

"I wasn't real wild, I just didn't want to listen to my parents' rules.  We had a lot of confrontations because I was always staying over girls' cribs or hanging with my boys until dawn.  I just didn't like staying in the house."

"I've been through so much in the last two years between friends, family and business, if I was a weaker person I would be a drunk or on drugs.  I used to drink 40ozs, but I stopped.  My only defense has been to now trust nobody except God and myself."

"I was a little kid when I saw Michael Jackson performing on Motown 25 special, and I knew I wanted to be an entertainer."

"After that I became the boy in the mirror.  My aunt made me a glittering glove, my moms bought me a red leather jacket and I spent all my time dancing and singing 'Billie Jean.' I even managed to win a few look-alike contests."

"A lot of people think that me and Aaliyah are seeing each other, but we're not.  We're real close friends and I know who she likes so that could never be.  When I first met the Hankersons (Barry Hankerson is Liyah's uncle), which is my management, I made up my mind that I was not going to step to her like that.  It worked out better that way, because we are friends and we can act silly.  We can't be in the same room without making fun of somebody or laughing or talking about somebody."

"Everybody has two sides. If you're a mailman you don't take the mail home with you.  You have two sides and Aaliyah is the type of person to bring that out. We just enjoy each other's company."

"I can honestly say that I am not seeing anyone right now, I want somebody that really cares.  I want somebody thats going to say 'you can do it baby', no matter what they say,  Not somebody that has secret motives."

"I think everyone will respect my dancing skills after this one (So Anxious Video) and they will stop saying others can dance like me."
