News

In this column I'll include any breaking news!! breaking? HA! lol sorry peeps i'm hyper right now!

Okay, We have really really sad news, The new york supreme court ruled that DSE was INNOCENT and that the boys and they're parents were GUILTY of lying! But, We got an email from Maryann and this is what she said. ____________________________________________________________ Letter from Greg, Matt, Frankie & Jesse's Parents Last Friday Judge Diane A. Lebedeff of the Supreme Court of the County of New York issued a ruling that declared that three applicants Matt Ballinger, Frankie Galasso and Greg Raposo are released prospectively from their obligations under the previously approved contracts with Dream Street Entertainment, Inc. (DSE.) As a result, Matt, Frankie and Greg are free from any obligation to perform services for DSE, the company owned by Lou Baldonieri and Brian Lukow. Judge Lebedeff excluded Jesse McCartney from her ruling because he had resigned from the group before the hearings commenced. Jesse felt that DSE was not abiding by its contracts which allowed the boys to take outside acting roles. The parents of Frankie, Greg, Matt and Jesse held true to their values and beliefs in initiating this proceeding, mainly but not exclusively because of morality issues. They remain committed to their position that they acted in the best interests of their children. From the beginning, it was never their intention to steal the band. And, the parents never asked for the use of the name Dream Street! They had only hoped that the boys could continue to perform for their large and loyal fan base if things could not be worked out with the producers. As they and the boys weigh the options ahead, please know that the fans will remain an important consideration in any decision that gets made. Their support and faith during this very difficult time has been uplifting and inspiring. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Personal Message written from Jesse, Matt, Frankie & Greg Hey guys, it's me Jesse. I just wanted to write and say that I miss you guys a lot, and I can't take not being on stage performing for you! Trust me, I'm just as upset as you guys that things have been on hold for this long! I hope that you guys will have as much faith as I do that things will eventually work out. I know that you guys are still out there supporting us, and I can't thank you enough!! You don't know how much everyone of you mean to all of us. It's been said before and I'll say it again...without you guys, there would be no Dream Street. Anyway, I love all you guys and I hope to be seeing all your faces very soon!! Hang in there, I know we'll be back! Stay True~ Jesse McCartney ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, was up this is Matt. I would just like to thank every single fan for their great support through this ordeal. I really miss you guys. This summer has been a disappointing one because I didn't get to see all of our loving fans. But if I look at this summer in another way, I realize that all of you guys have taught me a great deal about myself. You guys have taught me to never give up on my dreams and to hold my head up high, for that I thank you. I will be back for you soon, so don't worry. Oh yeah and thank you for all of the awesome gifts that you gave. I'll be back for you in no time. You guys Rock. Peace With Love, Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey guys, this is Frankie. I just wanted to let everyone know that all of your support in the last few months has not gone unnoticed. I deeply appreciate everything all of you have done for us, and thank you for sticking by our side. Thank you for all the gifts, cards, and letters that you've sent to me. Although I am not always able to reply, I DO read them all. I miss you guys and I'm sure Ill see you all soon. Thanks again for all of your support! Love you guys, Frankie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watsup everyone this is Greg. The recent problems that have been occurring with Dream Street have been frustrating and down right depressing. I have been working with Dream Street for the past 4 years and it has become a major part of my life. It has always been my dream to stand in front of a crowd and perform as I do. The adrenaline rush, the love from fans, and most importantly my love for music has all become an addiction for me. I miss being on stage more than I can describe not to mention seeing all of you. I was asked to write this letter to explain some of the problems that have been occurring with Dream Street, but I feel that it's irrelevant to the point that I want to make. I have no desire to bash or speak bad of Brian, Lou, or Chris. It is extremely unfortunate that our differences in morality has caused such a great damage to the group and I'll leave it at that. Still I refuse to let these problems slow me down. I'll admit that at first I was very depressed and emotional, but at least I wrote a few good songs from it. It wasn't until I read some of the many support letters that have been sent to me through both my Mom and my website that finally opened my eyes to a new look on the situation. Achieving fame is a dream that stands near to the impossible. I was lucky to get a taste of it. With that taste and my natural love for music I have only gained more ambition. The support from fans is not just touching but it's motivating. I can't express how much everyone's support really means to me and I know that with the fans in mind I can achieve the impossible. I def. plan to do so and I promise that whether it's with Dream Street or not I will always work my hardest to remain standing in the light where I belong and want to be. Thank you everyone for standing by my side and most importantly thank you Mom for your love and strength to follow your heart and values rather than give into the temptations of fame and fortune. To get to the top of the mountain you may have to climb the rocky side but what makes it difficult is knowing you can slide down the other side enjoying the ride but then getting stuck again at the bottom.
