Coming Out Has Turned Around Lance Bass's Career

lance-reichen-car.jpg

Back when he was "straight," Lance Bass was nothing but a former boyband has-been, but now he and boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl are Hollywood's "it" couple, going to every party ever and appearing in all sorts of publications. And why? We're not quite sure, considering neither is working on any projects that we know of other than being each other's out celebrity boyfriend.

Still, we're happy for Lance, who is clearly beaming, "I’m totally happy, like a different person. It sucks with all the lies you have to tell, especially in the business. Now it’s like, ‘Wow, I don’t have to tell any lies to get jobs,' so it’s cool."

Whe are excited to see what sorts of jobs Lance is getting. Will he be singing love songs at Paris Hilton's birthday party? Or maybe doing magic tricks? We can't even imagine.

I am sooo happy for Lance and Reichen (can somebody send me a proper pronunciation guide for his name?). Usually in the past, when a celebrity came out, which was usually by being outed, it ruined their career. Glad to see being a gay celeb can actually boost your career.

Word of advice, though...: Don't let it boost your ego too much, OK? Ciao for now from the city that never sleeps!

P.S. Where's my gay celeb boyfriend??

They have careers? Former boy bander, former reality-show contestant. Slightly upwards of being Paris Hilton.

I alsways have the feeling that, aside from doing it for himself, Lance came out to cause some stir and to help create some hype over that television production he's working on with Joe (the heavier N*Sync guy). If that's one of his intentions for it, then it's certainly working. People are going to notice it. (Although, I have a feeling it won't be that great anyway...).

Mark my words!

I sincerely hope that Lance is really happy and wish him well, but at the same time I sincerely hope he will find his true sexual orientation, if not now later in his life. I hope his coming out at the time of this day is not just a celebrity who is lonely and try to find excitment .. in the wrong area.
but if that is actually him...ok...great discovery

Martini-boy says:

Hey margueritta: it's not really something you 'discover'. He probably KNEW all along but never bothered to mention it because, as he mentioned in his interview, he wanted to keep NSync's reputation squeaky clean. The only thing he did now was 'reveal' that he KNOWS he's gay and that he wishes to live a life that doesn't require him to hide anything.
