The pop universe.

[randomling]

People, I'm writing a novel, which requires supporting characters.

I've already placed the members of N'Sync and BSB in my universe, plus Britney, Pink and Christina, and one member of O Town (plus 50 Cent). I've got all my major, "speaking role" characters now, I think; what I'm looking for, instead of creating original characters, is pop names to drop, to help populate the universe.

And of course, outside of the ten boys and the three girls I mentioned, I'm not very well-versed in the pop universe. So you would help me enormously if you could list as many pop people as you can think of, preferably roughly contemporary to our boys in terms of popularity.

Or at least: Justin's 23, going on 24 right now, so no one that would have been 15 at the start of 2005. Or 12, as some of these are going to be workplace people.

Extra points if it would give you squee to see their name dropped in a story. (I'm not promising anything more than a name-drop, though.)

Really extra points if you can provide me with a picture or a bio or some information about this person.

Thanks, everyone!

ETA: Female names especially appreciated.

Eminem of course!! No popslash universe is complete without mentions of Mr Marshall Mathers :-) And he's only one year youngerthan Chris (to the day! they've got the same birthday) so he's definitely not too young.

Wade Robinson? He's 18 months younger than Justin.

Aaron Carter was born in December 1987 so he would've just turned 17 at the start of 2005.

*HEADDESK* HOW DID I FORGET WADE?

Oooh, that's interesting. I didn't know he had the same birthday as Chris! Maybe he can be an Orlando person or something. It'd be fun if he could come and stir up some kind of trouble.

And ooh. I think I know where I can put Wade.

Aaron might be Nick's younger brother (Nick is a secondary character with a "speaking part") but I've no idea if I can fit him in....

Thanks!
