DODS UNDERWENT MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH FILES ON THEIR COMPUTER.  THEY APPEAR TO BE COMPLETELY FIXED.  WE APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED. ( IF YOUR WONDERING THAT'S WHERE I GET MY LASTEST NEW'S)

-The legal proceedings have ended, and there is a verdict.  The New York Supreme Court denied the application of Jesse, Frankie, Greg and Matt to revoke its prior consent of the production agreement between the performers of Dream Street and the creators of the group. To read a press release from DSE you can go to http://www.dreamstreet.com/newsite/press.htm.  Greg, Frankie, Matt, Jesse and their parents have yet to make an official press release, but they will be heard from in the near future. (Thanks Berny and Kevin)

-The Los Angeles Premiere of Chris' film, The Biggest Fan, will be held at a theater to be announced on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 20th and 21st.  There is a chance there will be an additional screening the next day as well.  At least 20 tickets for each screening will be given out for free, and the rest will be on sale to fans for a minimal fee (in the $10 per ticket range, more info available soon).  If you are interested in reserving seats for any of the screenings head over to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/The_Biggest_Fan/.  Any unreserved tickets will be sold the day of the screenings on a first come, first served basis.  Any reserved tickets not picked up 30 minutes prior to screening will also be given away. There is limited seating available, so sign up early.  If you live far from Los Angeles, don't make your parents crazy, because there will be screenings planned all over the country in the near future.  At the screenings Chris, Kaila, Claudia and some of the other actors and actresses from the film will be available for autographs. (Thanks Kevin!)

(Thanks Ginny, Rachelle and Dorothy!)

-Claudia recently updated her Picturetrail with a section about the winners of the "I Say Yeah" video contest, from her "Choreographer's Corner" section of the Dream Street Magazine.  The winners, Nicole, Kristen, Christie, Kira and Alyssa created an amazing video according to Claudia, that not only included the dance, but a whole entire music video storyline as well as their own version of the Dream Street interview from the enhanced DS CD.  Congratulations to the girls who will win a prize pertaining to Chris and the "new Dream Street."  You can check out the full "story" at www.picturetrail.com/dsclaudiaswan, in the most recent album, with the password DREAM STREET.

-Greg Raposo's official website www.gregraposo.com was updated recently with many more Support Letters which have been sent in by fans to Greg, Jesse, Matt and Frankie as well as their families.  In addition, some new pictures were added to his site today.  Be sure to check everything out!

July 31, 2002

-Greg Raposo's official website www.gregraposo.com <http://www.gregraposo.com> was updated both today and the 29th with more Support Letters which have been sent in by fans to Greg, Jesse, Matt and Frankie as well as their families. Be sure to check them out.

The Dream Street rumor mill is churning again! Fans are reporting that they're receiving e-mails telling them details of what's up with the lawsuit and how it will all pan out. From where we sit, here is what we know: Chris is on the side of the managershe was originally in the lawsuit with Frankie, Greg, Jesse and Matt, but he later changed his mind. Frankie, Greg, Jesse and Matt sent an e-mail expressing their disappointment, but saying that Chris has to do what's best for his career and they have to do what's best for theirs. There is still no ruling in the lawsuit, and the ruling will decide a lot of the details of what will happen next. So far, and this could change, this is what it seems could happen: SITUATION #1: Chris goes solo (and probably becomes a big star) and a whole new Dream Street is formed. That would leave Frankie, Greg, Jesse and Matt on their own to either go solo individually, do their own group or do a couple of groups. (It's possible that their contract will disallow them from all recording together, though they DID all four recently perform at a Long Island radio show...and they were GREAT!). SITUATION #2: Chris headsup a whole new Dream Street with four fresh members, and the other guys are still on their own. We don't see any other possibility, at least not right now. We really hope all parties concerned end up where they want to be, but if you're a fan, rest assured that we will bring you the whole story and that we will be covering Chris, Dream Street, Frankie, Greg, Jesse and Matt when all the dust settleswe're big fans of all concerned!

In addition, the second question in their online poll asks:

IF CHRIS TROUSDALE GOES SOLO AND THERE IS A WHOLE NEW LINEUP IN DREAM STREET (WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS BEING FORCED TO LEAVE), HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
(a) I love Chris no matter what and I'll give a new Dream Street a chance!
(b) It would be weird, but I'd be curious about Chris solo and a new Dream Street.
(c) I would never accept a new Dream Street and shame on Chris!

EVENING:
-Greg and Jesse both recorded a jingle for Charmin.  The commercial is being aired right now on Radio Disney. The boys had a lot of fun recording it and it's very cute!  Greg starts the jingle off and then Jesse's part follows.  Listen for it!  (Thanks Jillian!)

MORNING:

-Greg's Official Website has been updated once again!  20 more support letters have been posted, along with some more Greg fan photos.  You can check it all out by heading over to www.gregraposo.com.

-Here is a message from the president of the new Official Chris Trousdale Fan Club:

My name is Anna & I am the President of Chris Trousdale's Official Fan Club. As of right now, we would like to have a mailing list of Chris fans. Once we get the fan club going, we will send out flyers/postcards/something with information about the fan club. Then, you will decide for yourself if you want to officially join or not.

If you would like to sign up for the fan club mailing list & street team (Both are FREE), please provide your name, address, phone # (w/ area code), email addy (for the online street team) and birthday (include year). I know most parents do not like to give certain info out, therefore, whatever info you can give me would be fine.

Email information to DreamStreetGirl@aol.com

Thank you and have a nice day,
Anna

The details for the fan club are still being worked out, but you can join the mailing list for information about it as it becomes available.

In addition, recently Ask Greg questions and some photographs have been added. Be sure to check them out!

-If you purchased tickets for the Palmerton Hospital Telethon on August 3rd in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, under the impression that Dream Street would be performing at the event, you can now get a refund, since they will not be in attendance. (This is why in the future you should wait until an official source confirms an appearance). To get a refund on your $30 ticket you can return their tickets to the point of purchase beginning Monday, July 29, or at Penn's Peak (where the event was to be held) on Aug. 3. The Foundation Concert Committee is working on the details to conduct an orderly refund. These details will be available at 800-581-7877. Their slot in the telethon will be replaced with local talent if you're still interested in attending. (Thanks Holly!)

-Last night Greg, Frankie, Matt and Jesse made the crowd go wild at BLI's Summer Jam on Long Island, New York. It was a great treat for all of their devoted fans who showed up to show their support and love to the boys, who most hadn't seen for months. The boys signed autographs for a never ending line and surprised the fans by performing two songs acapella, "Sugar Rush," and the highly appropriate "Matter of Time." Even though it rained for part of the outdoor concert the beaming smiles from audience members during their performance were like sunrays themselves. 

-Some photographs from the show can be found at www.wbli.com by clicking on the link on the main page http://wbli.com/about_us/summer_jam_2002_pics.html. From there click on the link that says Check out Puffy's Summer Jam Pics (the other pictures will be up sometime this weekend). Once you get to that page look to the left hand side where all the acts are listed and click on Frankie, Matt, Greg & Jesse. There are only a few pictures, but the guys look great. We'll let you know when the rest of the pictures are up. (Thanks Michelle!)

-Claudia's Picturetrail has recently been updated with photographs from Chris' trip to Los Angeles for the taping of All That (which should air on Nickelodeon sometime in September). You can access the pictures of Chris goofing around backstage with the girls of Play and more by going to http://www.picturetrail.com/dsclaudiaswan, choosing the most recent album at the bottom, 7-11 & 12- 2002- Chris at Nicks "All That." (http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=986915&uid=411895) From there you simply need to type in the password DREAM STREET and then you'll be able to access the pictures! (Thanks Ginnie and Jess!)

-In more Chris news, according to www.play-central.com (the official Play website), he will be joining the girl group at their performance in the Roosevelt Field Mall Sam Goody in Garden City, Long Island, NY. The performance is set for 6PM on Thursday, July 25th. The mall is located at Old Country Road and Meadowbrook Parkway and for more information you can call the store at (516) 742-8000. (Thanks Monica and Mary!)

-Last night Greg made an appearance on WBLI (106.1) in Long Island, where he spoke with Bobby Fester the DJ, and sang a little bit of "It Happens Every Time."  Maybe you caught it!  Remember, tomorrow is WBLI's Summer Jam where Greg, Matt, Jesse and Frankie will be appearing.  If you plan on attending the signing keep in mind that you do need a ticket for the concert.

-Maryann Raposo has sent out an Official Update.  It includes a message from Greg, Frankie, Jesse and Matt as well as information about upcoming events and rumored events.  You can read it below:

Hi, I am so sorry for not sending out a response to your emails sooner.  Believe me I really wanted to, but I just wasn't able to. I have over 6,000 opened e-mails in my saved file that I will try and get to. Please remember that all e-mails are read, but not all can be answered. I am sure after reading this email that many of you will have so so many questions. I cannot give you anymore information at this time. Please do not e-mail me with questions. I promise to keep you informed  as more information becomes available. Thank you all for your continued support. God Bless, Maryann Raposo


A  RESPONSE TO ALL YOUR EMAILS FROM GREG, MATT, FRANKIE & JESSE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to thank you for your loyal support and patience while the legal proceedings are still going on.  As most of you already know, we have filed a lawsuit against our producers because of some ongoing morality and financial issues.  We re not going to get into a bad-mouthing session here that's totally not our style.  But take our word for it, our parents were really concerned about us and we're behind them 100%.  You have to ask yourself  would anyone walk away from the possibility of stardom without a good reason?  Not us, no way.

We have already presented our case in court, as have our producers, and as of today, the court has not issued a final ruling.   This is different from what you' re hearing from our producers, who are leaking misinformation to various web sites, media, and even through the producer of "The Biggest Fan." 

It is true that Chris Trousdale has decided to side with the producers after originally siding with us, but don't t fault or pass judgment on Chris.  We wish he was still on our side, but he's only doing what he feels is best for him and his career.  We will do the same.  If this means that we continue to perform all together or separately, we will all be involved in the music industry in some capacity.

As for all the rumors, they are just that, rumors! There will always be two sides to every story.  In the near future, you will be reading and hearing all types of accusations and inaccuracies.  Please try to keep an open mind and do not get caught up in all the hype.  We hope you continue to support us and be positive in your thinking.

The worst part of this whole thing is how much we miss performing for you, our fans!  After all, performing is what we love to do best.  More than anything, we wish we could still be together, singing our hearts out for you.

This should all be resolved soon. Your continued support and love means everything to us.  We want to be back in your hearts soon!

Thanks and keep us in your prayers!
Greg, Frankie, Jesse, and Matt

-Speaking of M Magazine, our friends over at M have given us the inside scoop on the August issue which comes out on July 22nd and is filled with Dream Street!  There's a poster of the guys on page 60, and a great article on page 61 where the guys talk about their dream dates and how they act around their crushes!  There's also a poster of Chris on page 38, an expert handwriting analysis for Chris and Greg on page 47, and the truth or rumor page addresses what's up with Dream Street these days.  Plus, you can take an awesome quiz to find out who your DS soul mate is, and enter a contest to win an autographed Dream Street pillow! (Thanks Colleen!)

-The newest issue of J-14 Magazine also mentions Dream Street, in a semi-negative way.  On page 34, in the "If You Had to Choose" column they ask if you'd rather be stuck in an elevator with DS or have a Hanson CD stuck in your CD player. (Thanks Kelsey!)

-www.Tommy2.net has a new interview with Matt Ballinger.  It can be found on the main page of the site, and is called "5 Minutes with Matt Ballinger."  (Thanks Lauren and Nicole!)

I have been getting so many e-mails from fans. I am not allowed by the courts to really comment on the situation. All I can say is that the judge has not made her ruling. I will also say that it is true that Chris has sided with the producers ( Brian & Louie). Greg, Matt, Frankie and Jesse stand strong and united.  I will send out an update as soon as possible to all the fans. Greg, Matt, Frankie and Jesse appreciate all the support of their fans. Keep The Faith and Keep The Boys In Your Prayers,  Thank You, Maryann Raposo

Please do not email Maryann asking questions, as soon as there is more information she can give you, you'll get it, don't worry.

-The July issue of Popstar Magazine, mentions Jesse's pilot for "Legacy of Cameron Cruz" as well.  (Thanks Darlene!) 

-www.kriselen.com's poll of the week asks, If I could tour with any of the following artists, I would tour with?, and among the choices is Dream Street.  Head over to the site and look to the right hand side and give Dream Street your vote!  The guys are in the lead, so keep them there!  (Thanks Suzanne!)

Dear Dream Street fans,

As you probably know, M magazine has always supported Dream Street and featured them as much as we can in our magazine.  Unfortunately, over the past few months, the lawsuit between Dream Street and their producers has made it difficult for us to cover the boys as much as we'd like to.  We've received thousands of e-mails and letters from Dream Street fans asking us if the guys are going to break up, when the lawsuit will be over, if Chris is leaving the band, etc. etc.  As of right now, we cannot release any new information.  However, our August issue, which comes out on July 22, will address all of the rumors that have been floating around and will also provide you with the latest information that you will not be able to find anywhere else.  Thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting M's coverage of Dream Street over the past few months; we really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
The M Editors

-In the August issue of Popstar Magazine there are two drawing of Jesse from the fans, Valentines Day contest winners shown on pages 8 and 9, an article about Chris and Play on page 23 (who's CD came out today, on a side note), on page 72 there's a paragraph written by a fan telling about her experience at a DS concert, on pages 76-79 you can check out which categories Dream Street and Dream Street members won or were runners up in for the 1st Annual Popstar Awards, and on page 82 there is a mention of Dream Street and their future.  Also on page 17 there is an article about a new group called Triple Image and one of the girls confesses she has a crush on Chris--aw!  Be sure to pick up your copy today! (Thanks Kari!)

-According to the TV Guide and www.tvguide.com the episode of Law and Order for which Jesse was a guest star will be repeating tomorrow night at midnight and then on Thursday the 27th at 7:00PM EST on TNT.  Jesse plays a member of a hockey team in the episode entitled "Thin Ice." (Thanks Kristin and Sarah!) 

-In other great news, Dream Street's very own Matt Ballinger just booked a movie and will be taping this August. More details about the movie are coming soon.  Matt who we all know has done tons of theater will surely do a great job acting on screen! (Thanks Maryann!)

-Dream Street is featured in the magazine POP 2002.  There are 2 pin-ups and two articles (one about Dream Street's success and one about Chris and Play).  There is a small picture of group on the front cover of the magazine, and mentions briefly about the lawsuit. (Thanks Casey and Jmcfan1!)

-In addition to the DS goodies we already told you about in the July issue of M Magazine there's also a picture of Chris on the front cover and one of the whole group excluding Chris on page 3, as well as a poem written about Matt on page 44. (Thanks Annessa!)

-If you haven't seen the commercials advertising the "Play Power Pack" on Fox Family, Nickelodeon, etc., the commercial for the girl group Play, features a clip of the "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" video featuring Chris and you can check it out online at www.play-central.com. (Thanks Amy!)

-In a recent issue of Soap Opera Digest in the "It's Only My Opinion" section, someone wrote in saying, "I think ALL MY CHILDREN made a big mistake recasting the pivotal role of J.R. Chandler just before giving the character front-burner story. That little Jesse McCartney was one of the best actors on all of daytime. Can you see that tear-stained face sobbing to Tad or yelling at David or mourning Dixie? AMC could have broken our hearts and given us believable triangles (and who knows how much else?) if they hadn't tried to fix what wasn't even broken now."  I think every DS fan can agree we miss seeing Jesse acting on AMC too!  (Thanks Lauren) 

-Play's CD will be in stores on June 25th in the United States, and "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," featuring Chris Trousdale is the first track on the CD!  If you'd like to pick up your copy early, head over to the DODS Store or go directly to buy the CD!

-YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! Maryann Raposo will be sending out an Official Dream Street Update shortly, but there are many rumors floating around (because of an announcement Z100 made today saying that Dream Street was breaking up).

DREAM STREET ANNOUNCEMENT
------------------------------------------------
We know that a lot of rumors and stories are being circulated about the group and it's future so we wanted to respond to let you know what's going on and to set the record straight. On Tuesday, April 9th we filed legal proceedings against Dream Street Entertainment, Inc., the company that's run by Louie Baldonieri and Brian Lukow with the help of Matt Mitchell. In the legal papers, we asked the court to terminate the agreement between the group and Dream Street Entertainment because of conduct of Louie, Brian and Matt that we truly believe is threatening the boys' well-being. While the details are set forth in the court papers, because of the legal proceedings we think that it's best not to comment any further and to let the court decide how to handle things.

-Also, to clarify, unlike DREAM ON WITH DREAM STREET reported, Jesse will not be leaving Dream Street at this time. He 100% for sure has not "officially resigned" from the group as the aforementioned site has said and I just wanted to clear that up. Have we ever supplied you with incorrect news? I think not.

9:54 PM
Now just in from www.jessemccarntey.com http://www.jessemccarntey.com

Jesse has NOT quit the band. Jesse intends to and wants to do both Dream Street and the television series. Details just have to be worked out.

-Today Jesse McCartney, the youngest member of Dream Street is a year older! DODS wants to wish him a happy 15th birthday and the best of luck for the year to come. (Jesse-- we hope all your dreams come true ;oP)

-Dream Street can be found on pages 70 and 71 of the May 2002 issue of Tiger Beat Magazine. On page 70 there's an array of photos from scenes of Chris' movie, The Biggest Fan, as well as a brief summary of the story. In addition, there is a group pinup on the page 71.

HAPPY B-DAY JESSE!!! WE LOVE U!!

Two questions have come up recently.  Soaps In Depth magazine mentioned Jesse doing a TV series.  What is this about?  How did Soaps In Depth know about this before it was on the web site and before you (his publicist)?  Several months ago Jesse filmed a pilot for a series on Nickelodeon called "Legacy of Cameron Cruz."  Jesse plays the lead character Cameron Cruz.  When Jesse was in Toronto filming the pilot episode he missed some DS appearances and concerts and the rumors were going around that he was sick or something.  He was not sick.  He was working on this project.  Two weeks ago we set up an interview with Soaps In Depth for Jesse and told them about the pilot so Jesse could talk about it.  The Soaps In Depth article just came out before we thought it would.  We had not mentioned anything on the site before then because we were waiting to hear if the pilot had been picked up for a full season on Nickelodeon.  We still don't know for sure.  All I can tell you is the show is great!  It has done well with test audiences and we expect Nickelodeon to order a full season of episodes.  We will tell you here when we get the news.  Of course we knew about it when it happened several months ago!  To answer the question before it is asked....What is it about?  A "Sixth Sense" for television.  Cameron Cruz's life is set into a tailspin when he must move from his native Los Angeles to Savannah, Georgia in search of his Grandfather who has mysteriously disappeared.  Cameron's big city attitude often clashes with the small town locals, but these everyday difficulties are nothing compared to the unexpected "gift" that his Grandfather has left for him - the ability to see into the past and future. 

-If you'd like to check out some Dream Street Meet & Greet pictures from their singing at the Pheasant Lane Mall in New Hampshire on February, you can check out their website, http://www.pheasantlanemall.com/, in the News & Events section (or just follow this link: http://www.pheasantlanemall.com/n/86.htm. (Thanks Amy!)

-Dream Street are all over Popstar Magazine again, in their May issue (on stands April 9th)!  and be sure to cast your votes for Dream Street for the first annual POPSTAR! Awards.  You can check Jesse out in a feature called "Invasion of the Blonds!"  There is also a Dream Street centerfold, a contest to win a phone call from Dream Street and more!  Check out www.popstarmag.com for more info, or pick up a copy when it's on stands!

***-Head over to www.tommy2.net and you can check out some DS pictures and a 26 second clip of Chris singing in the hallway backstage before one of the Aaron Carter shows.  Pretty cool! (Thanks Rachael!)

***-There are many rumors floating around about some alleged summer tour dates. DODS has made it a practice not to post information until it is 99.9% confirmed, which those dates are far from.  Posting information that may possibly be incorrect causes much unnecessary confusion and disappointment.  You know that you can count on us to keep you posted on with accurate information as soon as it is available but if you're looking for rumors you will have to look to another site.

***-In the recent issue of the Aaron Carter Magazine Dream Street is featured slightly. On page 88 there's a picture of them at the WBLI Winter Jam with Aaron in the background, on page 91 there is one with the other artists appearing at Winter Jam and on page 96 there is a picture with the caption: Dream Street was given a true opportunity to shine by serving as one of Aaron's dynamic opening acts. Very cool.

***In the May 2002 issue of M Magazine there is a 4 page sized "autographed" poster of DS. Greg is then featured in the "How Stuff Works" and "Celebrity Bloopers" sections. Jesse is also featured in "Star 'Scopes" and Dream Street (Chris and Greg) in the "Making Wishes Come True." On the "Fun Pages" you can find a DS picture with a blank body for you to put your best headshot! Also, on the "Express Yourself" page, there is a note, poem and drawing all dedicated to DS! If that wasn't enough there is a chance to WIN a shirt that Chris wore in his movie "The Biggest Fan."

-Tune in this Monday through Friday to the Radio Disney Morning Show with Susan Huber for your chance to win a Dream Street prize pack (including their Live DVD, a DVD player, autographs and more!) or a similar prize pack from one of four other artists.  Tune in and make sure to know the Code Word of the day!

-Greg Raposo's Official Website, www.gregraposo.com,  has been updated with new answers to the Ask Greg section as well as some new photos in the Pictures section.  Be sure to check it out!
