Cris Emerson: overwhelmed by the pressure of fame?

Breaking Fourth's youngest member, Cris Emerson, maybe crumbling from the pressure of the band's monumental fame.  The boybander had a panic attack onstage July 17 on the band's final night performing in United Arab Emirates's city, Dubai, startling not only fans but also bandmates, management, and his best friend, BBC Radio DJ, Irial Dorian, who rushed across the stage and spent ten minutes trying to calm Cris down, which he successfully accomplished and the concert continued.  In an official press release, Cris said, "I wouldn't say I'm 'prone' to panic attacks, but they have been occurring irregularly recently, mostly when I feel helpless and out of control.  I never thought it would happen onstage.  I'm sorry for scaring everyone.  Everything just sort of came to a head abruptly in Dubai.  I seriously doubt it'll happen again; it's nothing to worry about and I'm working through the problem."  We're not so sure about that, but let's hope so.  Let's also take a minute to emulate the Crisial shippers and just gush about the cuteness of Dorian racing across stage and spending ten minutes rambling to calm down his panicking bestie in front of nine thousand fans.  That is a bromance.

Holden (and Ariella, don't think I don't see you)

Not quite sure where you were looking to go for term, but I'm actually going to be traveling until further notice thanks to my lovely (demanding and overly attached) boyfriend (love you, babe) so our flat's going to be empty for four months.  We need a dog-sitter for Marius anyway so you're welcome to stay there, and we'll kill two birds with one stone.  Tour ends December 22, so you know, it'll be awhile.  Just let us know.  I'll be flying into London and staying for the next week to get everything sorted, so preferably that kind of timeline would be nice.

Please don't make me find a dog-sitter,

Irial (and Cris)<--he's a dork :)

Are we not going to talk about...

Yes, we're all super aware Irial Dorian's working his radio show long distance from America (because he's now on tour with his boyfriend) but are we seriously not going to talk about

1)    The new tats: Cris got the pansexuality symbol tatted on him in Dubai...and the key that matches the lock Irial's had since college...and the antique rose that matches Irial's sword tattoo (and is on the exact same part of his arm and which is another yin/yang symbol), Cris's new phoenix tattoo (a symbol of rebirth...ie his and Irial's obvious recent rough patch), Irial's Japanese lantern (that has a style that matches Cris's cherry blossom tree if you squint...and symbolizes finding light in times of darkness, which he admitted on Dorian Speaks re:again, their fight), and Irial's new palm leaf tied cross with 'have faith, have freedom, believe that someday this prejudice will fade away' written in handwriting that looks suspiciously like Cris's

2)    Irial didn't Tweet anything the whole day he was out walking the Freedom Trail in Boston with Cris during his birthday except in the morning when he woke up Tweeted it was "someone's birthday :D"

3)    They were videotaped singing karaoke (sober) at a gay bar that same night Irial Tweeted he saw a drag show

4)    The Friday before Breaking Fourth's first performance in the US, Irial Tweeted he was going to an LGBTQ flash straight bar takeover...and Cris was photographed leaving the bar they took over in Irial's leather jacket, which he wasn't wearing earlier that day (when he was photographed at Legal Seafoods with Nic, Benji, and Micah)
