Backstreet’s Howie D's Design for His Bride
| Written by NF Mendoza |
| Saturday, 15 August 2009 19:41 |
Backstreet Boys’ may be on tour with his band, promoting their latest album, Unbreakable, but whether she’s touring with him or not, he and his new bride Leigh Boniello each wear meaningful talismans designating their love for each other. Dorough designed a bridal gift -- a beautiful pendant for Boniello with the jewelry company Rock Your Religion: the Chi Rho pendant. In Greek, Chi Rho means “En Touto Nika,” which, translated, means “In this sign you will conquer.”  Dorough tells groomsonline.com exclusively, “For our wedding, I wanted to get Leigh something special. Instead of a traditional gift, I opted for a Rock Your Religion Chi Rho pendant. I wanted to give her something that is meaningful to us both. The Chi Rho symbol is a good luck charm with an ancient and spiritual history, representing strength, courage and pride, characteristics that are all a part of our lives and our relationship.”The singer, who certainly has had his share of female admirers, offers thoughtful advice for grooms searching for just the right bride gift, and says “It’s important to show your bride how much you love her and how much this special day means to you. The gift isn’t as important as what you express to your bride on your wedding day and the meaning behind the gift.” Dorough’s present was a huge hit, he says, “She loved it so much that she gave the same Chi Rho pendant to her bridesmaids.” Where many grooms may look towards a more traditional route to choose the ideal gift, Dorough listened, paid attention to what Bonillo admired. He explains, “Leigh’s friend in L.A. was raving about this brand, Rock Your Religion and was wearing their Chi Rho cuff that Leigh knew I would love. She contacted the owner and ordered a leather cuff for me, which I wear constantly. Seeing how much she loved their collection, I knew I had to get her one in return! “ Whether they’re together or apart, the Chi Rho pendant bonds them. “Both she and I wear our Rock Your Religion accessories frequently,” he says. “The symbol is very unique and people often ask us what it means. We love them so much, we partnered up to co-design a pendant to raise money for the Dorough Lupus Foundation in my sister's honor.” Dorough’s sister Caroline died from complications of the disease in 1998. The Dorough Lupus Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization. The Foundation's goals are to aide in research and educate the public about Lupus. Dorough and Boniello (a filmmaker-turned real estate broker), who met in 2000, when she was the band’s web master, were engaged on New Years’ Eve 2007, but didn’t announce it publicly until August of that year. Dorough told People Magazine that he was more nervous proposing to Boniello at her family’s New Jersey home, with 40 friends and family, than he’d been performing in front of 40,000. The couple married in a traditional Roman Catholic ceremony at Orlando’s St. James Cathedral on December 8, 2007. Dorough’s Chi Ro Pendant, worn with courage strength and love which are the cornerstones of Rock Your Religion and the principals of the Dorough Lupus Foundation features Dorough’s signature on the back. It is available in the pendant that the couple and their bridesmaids have, as well as cuffs.

Entrevista Howie Dorough por Metro Live Finlandia
MUSICA: La banda de Backstreet Boys tiene una buena razón para seguir persistiéndo. El grupo de adolescentes de la década de 1990 regresa despues un periodo y receso en el 2005. Ahora están listos para el nuevo álbum This Is Us. Los cuatro miembros del equipo fueron recibidos por sus seguidores. Conversamos con Howie Dorough.
Cómo es el nuevo álbum, vocalmente diferente a lo anterior de Backstreet Boys?
- Tiene un sonido mas pop y R&B. Al mismo tiempo, es una especie de retorno a nuestra etapa inicial. Creemos de este álbum es el que la mayoría de los fans esperaban de nosotros - ya que nos representa como Backstreet Boys.
Fue un regreso a sus raíces de una consciente desición?
- Aunque los dos últimos álbumes lo hicimos con mucho gusto, no era nuestra mejor música. Se componían principalmente de rock, que no es realmente trabajado en un concierto en vivo. Los temas no eran bailables, y el público que asistía no estaban realmente de acuerdo. Así que decidimos regresar a nuestro estilo original.
Su éxito de los primeros años eran sólo de adolescentes. Lo pudieron lograr con mucha promoción?
- Para ser honesto - Nuestro éxito no llegó rapidamente. Antes de nuestro estreno, trabajamos juntos pora más de un año y medio.
Cómo se sienten al saber que Kevin Richardso ya no es un integrante?
- El quería seguir su propio camino, y lo respetamos. Kevin se ha convertido en un padre. Nos anima a continuar, pero ahora quiere hacer su propia carrera.
Es díficil ser padre de familia al estar en una "Boyband"?
- Nuestra vida es muy diferente. Nuestros tour, sin embargo tenemos prioridades. Mi pasión por la música no ha disminuido, y mi familia acepta mi estilo de vida y me apoya.

Get inspired by celebrity engagement rings
Nov 12th 2009 | 12:15pm
You can always count on the stars to sport some serious ice as their wedding day approaches. If you're in the midst of your own wedding planning, check out the wedding rings of the stars before making any big purchases.
In Style Weddings reports that on her wedding day, singer Katharine McPhee of American Idol wore a 3-carat brilliant-cut diamond set by jeweler Cindy Boudov. The rings also boasted platinum bands.
How did McPhee settle on a wedding gown to pair with her gorgeous rings? The star's attitude was go big or go home!
"The thing about weddings is it's the one time in your life that you actually get to wear a big, poofy dress," she told CNN. "Unless you're getting an Academy Award, you really don't have opportunities like that, so you might as well take advantage of it."
If you can't find the wedding ring of your dreams, shop vintage or consider creating your own.
When Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough married Leigh Boniello, the bride sported a three-stone diamond engagement ring that was custom designed for the couple, according to the news source.

Backstreet Boys are here to stay
Posted in: News of the day by newsdesk on July 31, 2009
BACKSTREET BOYS have said they have chart staying power. The US pop group have sold over 100 millions albums in their 12-year career and said their success is down to producing contemporary-sounding records. Speaking to Billboard, member Howie Dorough, said: “We always try to set the bar as high as possible. “We’ve always been a pop R&B group. We focus our songs around good melodies and group harmonies, and hopefully that will have a lot of staying power.” And he added that the group are still confident that they can appeal to new audiences. He said: “I think every artist who wants to be around for a long time and have staying power has to go through that transition. “Some records are going to be bigger than others. You’re always going to be compared to your biggest record. All you can do as an artist is just strive to make the best record you can and ride the rollercoaster as it goes up and down. “I think, overall, we’re gonna be a group that’s here for a long time. As long as people want us and our fans want us, then hopefully we can ride the wave – like I say, the rollercoaster – up and down, and be standing at the very end.” Backstreet Boys release their new album This Is Us on October 5.

EL BACKSTREET BOY HOWIE DOROUGH SERÁ PADRE
Posted: Jan 20 2009, 02:48 PM
El BackStreet Boy Howie Dorough y su esposa Leigh, esperan su primer hijo en junio, cuentan exclusivamente a PEOPLE.
"Sé que será una gran madre", dice Howie. "Si ella puede cuidar de mi, el mayor bebé del mundo, pienso que estará bien con el pequeño que viene".
Añade Leigh: "Creo que va a ser más dedicado de lo que cualquiera espera. Es el tipo que se levantará por la noche a cambiar pañales. Es un gran compañero para mi".
Después de casarse en diciembre de 2007, los Dorough planearon viajar antes de formar una familia. "Hemos estado juntos saliendo 8 años, pero queríamos disfrutar y ajustarnos a la vida de casados primero", dice Howie. "Así que durante los primeros 8 meses viajamos por el mudo en una luna de miel alargada".
Howie, 35 años, y Leigh, 34, tuvieron "un tiempo maravilloso" mientras viajaban de Japón a Australia a Europa y de vuelta a Norte América en tour con la banda de él. Pero la tragedia golpeó la primavera pasada cuando el padre de Dorough, Hoke, fue diagnosticado de cáncer de cerebro y pulmón. Falleció sólo tres meses después en junio de 2008.
Centrándose en la familia
"Eso como que pone las cosas en perspectiva -seguir adelante y traer nueva vida al mundo", dice Howie. "En ese punto comenzamos a centrarnos en tener un hijo. El niño está previsto para el mismo mes en que murió mi padre el año pasado, así que es casi como comprender que la vida es un círculo".
Leigh, cuyos antojos incluyen magdalenas de arándanos, ideó un plan para anunciar la noticia a Howie después que descubrió que estaba embarzada depués de sólo un mes intentándolo.
"Leigh me sorprendió con un desayuno en la cama. Supe que algo pasaba", recuerda Howie."Miré hacia abajo y vi la tira del test de embarazo (en la bandeja). La expresión de mi cara era como sacada de America's funniest home videos. Pensé '¡Oh, Dios mío! ¡Ahí vamos! ¡Esto es!"
Dice Leigh sobre concebir tan rápido: "Somos realmente afortunados y bendecidos".
Diseñando la habitación
La pareja, que no quiere conocer el sexo del bebé antes del nacimiento, está planeando una habitación infantil neutral (en género). "Tenemos una casa en LA que es moderna, mucha madera", dice Howie. "Queremos colores tierra (para la habitación). Hemos estado hablando de temática de jungla o safari".
Los Dorough dicen que muchos en la familia de Howie están pensando en azul -aunque los hermanos de Howie tienen hijos, y la hermana de Leigh tuvo gemelos el año pasado, no hay un chico que continúe el apellido familiar Dorough. "Así que creo que todo el mundo querría un niño", dice. "Nosotros sólo esperamos un bebé sano".
Howie es el tercer BackStreet Boy en expandir la familia -el compañero de banda Brian Littrell y su esposa Leighanne tienen un niño de seis años, Baylee, que fue diagnosticado de Kawasaki atípico el mes pasado. Kevin Richardson, que dejó el grupo en 2006, tiene un niño de 18 meses llamado Mason con su esposa Kristin.
Los BackStreet Boys -quienes Howie dice que estaban "sorprendidos pero muy entusiasmados" al enterarse de las noticias del bebé- están actualmente grabando un nuevo álbum en LA antes de ir a Sur América en febrero para completar su tour mundial.

Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough Expecting First Child
Posted: Jan 14 2009, 10:44 AM
January 13th, 2009 by Nicole
Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough and his wife Leigh, a real estate broker, are expecting their first child in June, they tell PEOPLE exclusively.
“I know she’s going to be a great mother,” Howie said regarding his wife. “If she can take care of me, the biggest baby in the entire world, I think she’s going to be okay with the little one coming along.”
Adds Leigh: “I think he’s going to be more hands-on than anyone expects. He’s someone who will get up in the night and change diapers. He’s such a partner of mine.”
The couple married in October 2007, and traveled a bit before settling down to start a family.
“We’ve been together going on eight years, but we wanted to enjoy and adjust to living married life first,” Howie tells the magazine. “So for the first eight months we traveled all over the world on an extended honeymoon.”
Sadly, Howie’s father Hoke was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer and passed away just three months later in June 2008.
“That kind of put things into perspective – passing on and bringing new life into the world,” says Howie. “At that point we started focusing in on having a child. The baby is due the same month that my dad passed away last year, so it’s almost like realizing life is a circle.”
Leigh, who is craving blueberry muffins, devised an ingenious plan to break the news to her husband.
“Leigh surprised me with breakfast in bed. [I knew] something was up,” Howie recalls. “I looked down and saw the pregnancy test strip [on the tray]. The look on my face was like something from America’s Funniest Home Videos. I thought, ‘Oh my god! Here we go! This is it!’ ”
Says Leigh of conceiving so quickly: “We were really blessed and lucky.”
The couple don’t plan to learn the baby’s sex before it’s born, and are planning a gender-neutral nursery. “We have a home in L.A. that’s modern, a lot of wood,” says Howie. “We want to do earth tones [for the nursery]. We’ve been talking about a jungle or safari theme.”
Howie admits, though, that his side of the family is thinking blue, as Howie has only nieces.
“So I think everybody would love a boy,” he says. “We’re just hoping for a healthy baby.”
The new little one will join two other Backstreet babies, both boys - Brian Littrell’s 6-year-old son Baylee and Kevin Richardson’s 18-month-old son Mason. On how his bandmates reacted, Howie says they “surprised but very, very enthusiastic.” The group, minus Kevin, is recording in L.A. before they head to South America in February to complete their world tour.

Howie Dorough and Wife Expecting a Baby

Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough and his wife Leigh, a real estate broker, are expecting their first child in June, they tell PEOPLE exclusively.
“I know she’s going to be a great mother,” says Howie. “If she can take care of me, the biggest baby in the entire world, I think she’s going to be okay with the little one coming along.” Adds Leigh: “I think he’s going to be more hands-on than anyone expects.

Howie, 35, and Leigh, 34, had “an amazing time” as they hopped from Japan to Australia to Europe and back to North America on tour with his band. But tragedy struck last spring when Dorough’s father Hoke was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer. He passed away just three months later in June 2008. “That kind of put things into perspective — passing on and bringing new life into the world,” says Howie. “At that point we started focusing in on having a child. The baby is due the same month that my dad passed away last year, so it’s almost like realizing life is a circle.”
How did Leigh share the good news? Will they find out the sex of the baby? Find out below!
Leigh, whose cravings include blueberry muffins, devised a plan to break the news to Howie after discovering she was pregnant after only a month of trying. “Leigh surprised me with breakfast in bed. I knew something was up,” Howie recalls. “I looked down and saw the pregnancy test strip on the tray. The look on my face was like something from America’s Funniest Home Videos. I thought, ‘Oh my god! Here we go! This is it!’” Says Leigh of conceiving so quickly: “We were really blessed and lucky.”
The couple, who doesn’t want to find out the baby’s sex before the birth, is planning a gender-neutral nursery. “We have a home in L.A. that’s modern, a lot of wood,” says Howie. “We want to do earth tones for the nursery. We’ve been talking about a jungle or safari theme.” The Doroughs say that many on Howie’s side of the family are thinking blue — although Howie’s siblings have children, and Leigh’s sister had twins last year, there isn’t a male to carry on the Dorough family surname. “So I think everybody would love a boy,” he says. “We’re just hoping for a healthy baby.”
Howie is the third Backstreet Boy to expand his family — bandmate Brian Littrell and wife Leighanne have a 6 ½-year-old son, Baylee, while Kevin Richardson, who left the group in 2006, has an 18-month-old son named Mason with wife Kristin.

He passed away just three months later in June 2008. “That kind of put things into perspective — passing on and bringing new life into the world,” says Howie. “At that point we started focusing in on having a child. The baby is due the same month that my dad passed away last year, so it’s almost like realizing life is a circle.”
How did Leigh share the good news? Will they find out the sex of the baby? Find out below!
Leigh, whose cravings include blueberry muffins, devised a plan to break the news to Howie after discovering she was pregnant after only a month of trying. “Leigh surprised me with breakfast in bed. I knew something was up,” Howie recalls. “I looked down and saw the pregnancy test strip on the tray. The look on my face was like something from America’s Funniest Home Videos. I thought, ‘Oh my god! Here we go! This is it!’” Says Leigh of conceiving so quickly: “We were really blessed and lucky.”
The couple, who doesn’t want to find out the baby’s sex before the birth, is planning a gender-neutral nursery. “We have a home in L.A. that’s modern, a lot of wood,” says Howie. “We want to do earth tones for the nursery. We’ve been talking about a jungle or safari theme.” The Doroughs say that many on Howie’s side of the family are thinking blue — although Howie’s siblings have children, and Leigh’s sister had twins last year, there isn’t a male to carry on the Dorough family surname. “So I think everybody would love a boy,” he says. “We’re just hoping for a healthy baby.”
Howie is the third Backstreet Boy to expand his family — bandmate Brian Littrell and wife Leighanne have a 6 ½-year-old son, Baylee, while Kevin Richardson, who left the group in 2006, has an 18-month-old son named Mason with wife Kristin.
