• Fans of the Backstreet Boys are miffed that Live Nation shut down Friday night's concert at Northerly Island before the group was finished performing. Well, technically the show was shut down on time. The show got off to a late start, so when the 11 p.m. curfew hit, Live Nation shut it down. "We got shut down five minutes shy of the finish line," said BSB member Kevin Richardson. [DNAinfo]
