98* Pigs Out

When the tummies of yummy 98* groupmates - bros Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons - scream for a snack attack, you can be sure that these boys pay attention. And considering what these guys can put away, it's a good thing they can work it all off by singing and dancing to their new single, "Because Of You," from their upcoming album, 98* and rising (due in stores on October 20). 

"I eat more junk food," sighs babely 24-year-old Nick, Kick's little bro, Drew, says that the sanckin' must run in the family because he's got it bad for sugary, sticky sweets, too. "I have an extreme weakness for, like donuts and pastries and stuff," admits 22-year-old Drew. "I can't turn the stuff down." 

Juicy-lokking Justin sais that it's not just the two brothers that have a hankerin' for tasty treats. "I have tried to stay away from ice cream," Justin, 25, claims of his addiction to empty calories. "I have tried to eat healty...but ice cream." 

Who can blame him for that? Even the heathiest eaters can have a weakness for ice cream. As a matter of fact, babely Jeff, 25 says that he has a weakness for sweetness also, but for the most part, his cravings are limited to one or two fatty foods. 

Regardless of their awareness of their junk-food bings, don't look for Jeff of the other guys to be swilling soy milk or chomping on tofu anytime soon. "I wouldn't say that there is a health nut [among us]," Jeff laughs. "None of us are running out to buy wheat germ." 

Well, if sweets make then happy, you can bet that 98* has a real craving for their sweetie-pie fans.
