Britney Spears Wraps Circus Tour in U.S.
Originally posted 09/28/2009 06:30AM
After nearly seven months, the American leg of Britney Spears's Circus tour came to a close Sunday in Las Vegas.
"Hey Vegas, how y'all feeling?" the headliner, 27, asked the crowd in one of the only times that she spoke during the 90-minute show at Mandalay Bay also attended by Lance Bass and Barry Manilow.
Bass didn't stay in his seat for the entire show, though: He was given a brief lap dance by Spears during the song "Breathe on Me," in which an audience member is invited on stage. Bass was seen singing as Spears smiled at him during the sexually charged choreography.

Nicole Richie, Lance Bass and Rosario Dawson can soon add "gardener" to their resumes.
The trio, along with a handful of other stars, has joined the Environmental Media Association's Young Hollywood Board and will help raise awareness and support organic gardens at schools in the L.A. area.
"Organic gardens are so important, especially in urban areas where many students would otherwise never see any greenery," Bass, 30, tells PEOPLE. "I hope that the Environmental Media Association's support will help them to grow and flourish in Los Angeles."

Lance Bass: 'I'm Happy' for Clay Aiken
Originally posted 09/25/2008 10:00AM
Support continues to pour in for Clay Aiken, who publicly acknowledges he's gay in the upcoming issue of PEOPLE. His latest well-wisher: Lance Bass, who came out on the cover of PEOPLE two years ago.
"I'm happy for him," says Bass, 29. "It's good to see someone actually being true to who they are. I think it's something that's nice to share with the world, because it really does relieve a lot of pressure off of you."
The former 'N Sync-er (who is currently on Dancing with the Stars) adds that he believes Aiken will "live his life the way he wants to live it and that's the best advice I can give him."

Lance Bass: No Same-Sex Dancing Partner – For Now
Originally posted 09/16/2008 11:20AM
While Lance Bass has no qualms about dancing with a man in the public spotlight, he just doesn't think his Dancing With the Stars gig is the right outlet.
"I think it would be so silly that it would just overshadow everything else going on," Bass, the first openly gay contestant on the show, told E! Online. "I think it's so important for me to do this, but my biggest concern is I just hope it doesn't hurt the gay community in any way. I definitely feel a responsibility of making sure I represent well."
His standing in the gay community isn't the only thing on the line for Bass as a contestant on the new season of DWTS, whose new season premieres Sept. 22. As a member of the boy band ‘N Sync, he constantly suffered ridicule from his bandmates for being the worst dancer of the group.

Lance Bass 'Itching' For 'N Sync Reunion
Originally posted 09/10/2008 08:25AM
Hot on the heels of the New Kids On The Block comeback, Lance Bass is sure 'N Sync will reunite – one day.
"We're definitely itching to do some music," the new Dancing with the Stars contestant told Access Hollywood.
Are Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick also game? "We've always discussed it," said Bass. "It's always a possibility and we still owe some records to the record companies."
Still, he admitted, it could take years to get their schedules, well, in sync.
"It's gonna be hard to get Justin to calm down and get off tour," Bass said. "He's a workaholic."

Christina Applegate coped with her double-mastectomy recovery in the hospital by doing crossword puzzles and crafts – and getting an outpouring of love from friends.
"I was at the hospital holding her hand and getting her through it," longtime friend Lance Bass tells PEOPLE. "She is a very, very loved person."
Less than a week after revealing she had the surgery, the Samantha Who? star, 36, is "doing great," says Bass. "She's totally, fully recovering."

VIDEO: Lance Bass Blasts Homophobia
Originally posted 04/21/2008 01:20PM
Lance Bass is speaking out against homophobia. In a one-minute public-service announcement, the singer encourages people to participate in this year's National Day of Silence, which will honor 15-year old Lawrence King, who died after being shot by a classmate in class – allegedly for being gay.
The 28-year-old former 'N Syncer – who came out as gay on a 2006 cover of PEOPLE – brings attention to anti-gay name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. "Everyday thousands of students are silenced. They are silenced by fear, they are silenced for being who they are," Bass says in his spot. "They are silenced by anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender bullying and harassment. On, April 25th their silence will be heard around the country."

Joey Fatone to Lance Bass: Your Mom's Going to Kill You
Originally posted 11/07/2007 01:25PM
The Singing Bee host Joey Fatone wants to add a page to his former 'N Sync bandmate Lance Bass's new memoir, Out of Sync.
"I was one of the first to find out that Lance was gay when I saw him with another guy," Fatone, 30, tells Parade.com. "Lance wrote something like, 'Joey knew right then and there I was gay, but he really didn't care one way or the other.' I think I said to him, 'I still love you like a brother.'
"But I also said, 'If your mother finds out, she's going to kill you.' "
