Popdust has done many “Magic Box” interviews that end up revealing a lot you didn’t know about your favorite stars in the music world, and this one with former Backstreet Boy Howie D is no different.

In the interview featured below as well as at Popdust, Howie D answers questions about his celebrity crush, (Britney Spears), embarrasing nicknames, (“Dough Boy,” a nickname that he said actually scared him so badly that he can’t go into doughnut shops), and his horror story dealing with tequila (which caused him not to even want to smell the drink for six years). He also talks about the least favorite Backstreet Boys song that the Backstreet Boys themselves hate. You might be surprised at which one it is (it just might be your favorite!)

If you’re a fan of Howie D, you might want to know that some big things are coming the singer’s way that might interest you. Howie D will release his solo album, “Back to Me,” November 15. A snippet of one of the songs from the cd can be heard in the interview, so if you like what you heard, make sure to save that date. Also, the second annual Backstreet Cruise will start December 2, setting sail from Miami, FL.
