Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean - http://www.eonline.com/Facts/People/Bio/0,128,68629,00.html - was all man this week when he allegedly helped chase down a jewel thief in the parking lot of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

The boy bander was trying on watches in Rocks, the hotel's jewelry store, on Monday when a man entered the store and asked to try on several bracelets and rings.

After trying on a $40,000 diamond ring the suspect bolted for the door, reports the Las Vegas Sun

A friend of McLean's told the paper, "The girl at the counter screamed that she could not leave the store so A.J. just shot out of there like a rocket."

McLean and a hotel security guard tackled the man in the parking lot and recovered the stolen bling-bling.

A call to McLean's rep was not returned and attempts to confirm the story with Sin City's finest were unsuccessful.

It's a triumphant footnote for McLean, who's previously made headlines for his battles with alcoholism and depression, which are detailed in a new book co-written by his mother titled Backstreet Mom: A Mother's Tale of Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean's Rise To Fame, Struggle With Addiction and Ultimate Triumph.

His well-publicized crash and subsequent rehab stint contributed to a scrapped 2001 tour and were factors in delaying the group's follow up album to 2000's Black and Blue but the Backstreeters are purportedly working on a new album for early 2004.
