• And finally, in East Hampton comes this Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl sighting:

Ran into Lance Bass and his boyfriend, Reichen Lehmkuhl, in East Hampton on Saturday, August 19th around 3:15 pm. They were coming out of the Scoop store on Newton Lane. Lance was carrying a bag from the store, where he must have purchased some items. They ran into some other friends 2 girls and a guy across the street who it was obvious they knew. They were giving them directions to a party/event that night, before the two groups went their own way. Reichen looked hot in shorts and a white shirt with Ray Ban aviator glasses, while Lance was wearing jeans and sandals. They looked very happy and relaxed.
