Speaking of guys who were once in *NSYNC…

Former pop star Lance Bass finally admits one of his eyes is, you know, sort of off.

“I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys’ careers in my hand,” Lance reveals in the new issue of People.

“I knew … it would overpower everything.”

Still, Bass soldiered on, unsuccessfully trying to distract the public from his predicament by announcing plans to travel to outer space.

“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. “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. 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.”

    Oh No! Big suprise that the gayest memeber of the gayest boy-group ever that made the gayest music ever to the gayest fans ever would turn out to be….

    wait for it…

    wait for it…

    GAY!

    Oh my.

    Pretty funny stuff, but definitely not suprising!

    To give him credit though, I think he came up with the best plan he could have. I challange anyone out there to think of better way to shift focus away from one’s sexual orientation than by making plans to TRAVEL INTO SPACE.

    This is going to be the new trend, boy band members outing themselves. AJ will be next.

    now, if he could just get caught with an ugly guy who wears unfashionable shorts in a bush, we’ve got a story.

    “I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys’ careers in my hand”

    I wonder if that was the only thing of theirs he had in his hand?

    HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    Sorry.

  12. i always thought he was in the BACKSTREET BOYS……

    oh, the irony…..

  13. What? Good for him. I’d imagine it’d be pretty difficult to keep something like that concealed when your group is that HUGE…

    But yeah, that is a funny cover.

    my little sister’s favorite member was lance.

    i was also confused at first when reading this post cuz i didnt read the title of the people magazine, i just read the “yep i have a wacky eye”, and assumed he was ousting a hidden eye surgery or something.

  19. nick…

    of course he’s in n’sync…..or was…

    duh….

    i’m saying that along…..he was a “backstreet boy”…..

    get it?

    dang…

    you hipsters are slow….

  20. “…the gayest member…”

    No way. That’s Chris Kirkpatrick.

    hes faking it, hes just ashamed of his lack of spotlight…and then we got Justin over here kick Michael Jackson out of the king of pop roll…in rollingstone saying….”workin on a new album…”

    FACT: indie rock hipsters still have a soft spot in their hearts for NSync.
