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.
'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space.

Well, he certainly kept it well hidden...Not!;)
The more appropriate question is which one of them are not?
It's his own fault. Mental illness should not be encouraged. Shame on him.
Yep, now THAT'S gay!
jodie foster's girlfriend?
Jodie Foster is not gay. I know that you don't have to have children to be gay, but she has two and she NEVER has even hinted that she was. Why are you spreding nasty rumors.....only half sarc.
please try to be quicker, I bet my buddy someone with nothing to add would say this or "who's he" within five posts. you lost me a buck by being slow.
ROFL - no kidding. my little sister likes one of them but i forget which one.

I thought it might be something like a "gentlemen's sporting house" -- as they used to call them down in New Orleans. If that's wrong, then I'm sorely disappointed.
But whatever it is, I'll bet the Bass family is making more money over there than Lance ever did in the music business because the one time I drove by, the parking lot looked completely full!

This isn't news.
Now, if one of the members of N'Sync announces he's STRAIGHT, then that will be newsworthy!

Nice try, but I think your logic doesn't quite work:
If Lance and Christina had become an item, all the world would have known that Lance had to settle for "femme fatale" number two.
And when the supermarket tabloids whooped it up about this state of affairs -- as you KNOW they would have done -- the blow to Lance's ego would probably have been even more severe. He obviously was smart enough to avoid that trap!
Besides, Christina never had even an ounce of the natural Southern charm that Britney used to possess. I can't see how a good ole Mississippi boy like Lance could ever fall for a New York showbiz PR creation like Christina, with her highly contrived sexiness.
Next theory?
Why do you know that?
Ah, because you actually read the story! Carry on.
She got her kids with a turkey baster. She's as gay as a goose. Everybody knows.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing - "bi, bi, bi".
But once I looked at pictures of the band you can tell he's a fruitcake. He's got that femmy look to him.
God, I thought that was a bust of Jimmah Carter in drag.
