Brace yourselves for this summer's 98 Degrees reunion tour

Bowing to overwhelming, unceasing public demand, second tier boy band 98 Degrees is set to reunite for a summer tour. Probably. 

According to the airtight journalism of RumorFix, Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and that one weird blonde guy who always kept his shirt on (and once ran for mayor of Cincinnati!) will soon be back on the scene, starting their PR comeback with a slick website redesign. Assuming they can get time off from their various gigs as TV hosts and Chippendale dancers, the foursome will embark on a nationwide tour this summer.
