lise: Oh, this is my FAVORITE PART. Don't let me tell you otherwise. This is the best part of the entire story.

kel: This is the greatest part of the whole damn story.

lise: Anyone who saw the Celebrity tour knows what I'm talking about. That's a real photo, that really happened, night after night after night. modern day messiah!

kel: When we first started writing, Lise was like, "and there's this picture! And Justin's letting the girls touch his head!" and I was like, "Uh, whatever."

lise: This story is so not fictional. It's just a little ahead of its time.

kel: There were other pictures in the original draft of the story, one of Justin playing with the Flaming Lips in the dolphin suit, and one of Justin and JC together looking all creepy, but Katie made us take them out because they served no purpose.

lise: I wanted them in, but the more reality we stuck in the scarier and scarier it got, and the more likely people were going to accuse us of libel.

kel: This one, though? Speaks for itself. next.
