Here are three new
fun facts about Alexander James "A.J." McLean to file away for future
reference.
- He's a good
tipper
- Ladies over the
age of 21 dig him, too
- Alcohol makes
him do stupid things
OK, so
maybe the last item isn't exactly news.
According
to a report New York Post, A.J.'s late night antics aren't entirely in
keeping with his band's squeaky-clean image. At least he still has good
manners.
In the
wee hours of Monday, Oct. 2, McLean and two companions allegedly showed
up at New York watering hole Seppi's and were throwing back kamikazes
and Jack Daniels when a little filly caught the singer's eye. He insisted
on picking up the tab for her libations. After an hour of chatting her
up, the two headed out together - with A.J. leaving behind a $60 tip for
the barkeep.
After
a bonus like that, naturally the bartender was delighted when McLean came
sauntering in the following morning, at 3 a.m., with a different woman
in tow. When she seemed nonplussed by the entertainer's boasts about the
giant Las Vegas manse he was considering purchasing, he figured out an
alternate way to impress her. Or should we say, "cooked up"?
The bartender
filled A.J.'s mouth with Sambuca - then ignited the liquor with a match.
His date sprinkled cinnamon over the blaze, producing a shower of fireworks,
before McLean gulped the concoction down. "It was like an exploding volcano,"
the bartender told the Post, "really cool but kind of dumb if you're a
singer."
Well,
McLean's little stunt may not garner him a Nobel prize nomination, but
it did the trick - the young lady left with A.J. … in search of throat
lozenges, no doubt.
