People magazine is reporting that Lance Bass, of N*Sync, is officially coming out of the closet. There have been rumors for ages about Lance and his sexuality and finally, Lance felt it was the right time for him to come out and admit the truth:
Lance Bass, the former 'N Sync heartthrob, reveals that he is gay, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. "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," says Bass, referring to bandmates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake. "I didn't know: Could that be the end of 'N Sync? So I had that weight on me of like, 'Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did," he says speaking about his sexual orientation for the first time with PEOPLE. Now, after years of keeping his personal life private, the Mississippi-bred, Southern Baptist-reared Bass, 27, is publicly revealing what he first shared with his friends, then his shocked family. "He took years to really think about how he was going to tell everyone," says his close buddy Fatone, 29, who was the first 'N Sync bandmate to find out Bass is gay. "I back him up 100 percent." Adds Bass's longtime pal, actress Christina Applegate: "I've always accepted him as who he is. It's about his own serenity at this point." "The thing is, I'm not ashamed -- that's the one thing I want to say," he explains of his decision to come out. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy." Source PinkIsTheNewBlog
I wonder who on the BacksreetBoys is next? This was totally predictable. In my lifetime of witnessing the boy bands, only two have gotten married from the BackstreetBoys. No-one besides Justin Timberlike has been in a relationship with a woman that we have seen. Oh yeah, that JC Chazez dude. He's next. Totally Gay.
In my personal life, I am still up to no good. Not smoking still but eating happily. I have moved the kids rooms back into their own rooms and that buys me about 30min. more sleep in the morning. I like sleep. I am thinking about going to visit my family on the island next week as James is on vacation and if I were still working, that would have been mine as well. I have travelling to the island as it takes so long to sit and wait in the ferry line up and then on the ferry. With 2 kids, a dog and all crammed in a car, I pray it's raining.Other than that....
I left a message for one of my friends...she'll be devastated! ;o)
