According to People magazine, Lance Bass is saying “Bye Bye Bye” to his heterosexual status:
Lance Bass, band member of ‘N Sync, says he’s gay and in a “very stable” relationship with a reality show star.
Bass, who formed ‘N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn’t earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn’t want to affect the group’s popularity.
“I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys’ careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything,” he tells the magazine.
My question is, is anyone surprised by this revelation? Look at the guy, for Christ’s sake:
I remember, back in the day, reading headlines on the covers of various tabloids gossiping that “so-and-so of ‘N Sync is gay,” “Britney Spears is a ho-bag,” and “Rob Schneider is an actor of questionable taste.” Thankfully at least only one of those was true.
Makes you wonder, though, if Lance ever told his band mates. Five guys, touring, living in close quarters . . . hard to believe they’d miss the occasional illicit midnight “rendezvous” that Lance’s “friends” might make. Or maybe they only suspected.
JOEY: Yo, dogg, I was wondering’ — don’t Lance look a little, I dunno, too pretty for a dude?
JUSTIN: My hair’s pretty.
CHRIS: I’m not pretty. I’m not anything . . . . I wish I had talent.
JC: Anyway . . . yeah, I think you’re right, man. I bet if any of us turned out to be gay — not that we are, ’cause we all love bitches and shit — but yeah, it’d be Lance.
Lance enters the room, softly singing to himself “It’s Gonna Be Me.”
LANCE: Hi guys! Whatcha up to?
Everyone stares at him.
JOEY (whispering to JC): That shit is spooky.
Now might be the apropos time to add that I have nothing against someone, even Lance Bass, being gay. I’m more offended that some dude would actually want to date the man. I mean . . . it’s Lance Bass. Eww . . . . Seriously — being gay is no excuse for having poor taste in partners.

was he the one who tried to purchase a ticket to space from the russians?
You also forgot to mention that Lance paid like a couple million to go to space with the Russian space program, which upgrades his status from “somewhat homosexual pop star” to “totally gay astronaut”.
Ahaha. Amazing! Those comments were a minute apart, and you guys had the exact same obscure thought.

Sad, really, that either of us even remembered that.
sorry to ruin the fun…but i believe the reason that the two russian space comments were posted so close in time is because josh has to confirm comments before they can be seen. but i might be wrong…
It wouldn’t be that weird I think of Kinky Lance Bass russian space sex CONSTANTLY . . . so maybe it’s really that Nate’s just psychic and finally picked up on my homo-erotic mind wanderings or then again, we could just be sad.
