Former boy bander Lance Bass made headlines today when he let another secret out off the closet: he married a girlfriend in Las Vegas.

Says the gay entertainer:

People do stupid things in the heat of the moment. I've been in Vegas where I've gotten married for like five minutes, but no one talks about it, though. In fact, the only reason we did it is because we wanted to get free drinks all night…and we didn't get one. We're like,`We just got married,' and they're like, `Ah, whatever.'

The earth-shaking news no doubt pained Jossip's sweet faced intern, Whitney Little. The Texas transplant recently revealed to us that she's been nursing a ten-year crush on Mr. Bass.

After laughing for about an hour, we asked Ms. Whitney to elaborate on her imaginary love affair with the gay singer, an affair that continued until just last week.

Read Whitney's lovesick ramblings, after the jump.

Book parties aren't known to be ragers and, sadly, Lance Bass' was no exception.

Former boy bander Lance Bass appeared on The View this morning to discuss his new book, Out of Sync. Watch as the gals pick Bass' gay mind on Justin Timberlake, coming out and his mother's reaction ("Are you going to heaven?"). Whoopi Goldberg reassures him, "I think God's okay with you, baby". She's so sweet

Also, Elisabeth obviously doesn't read the news, because she asks Bass if he and Britney Spears are still friends. Poor, poor Elisabeth's dreams are totally crushed.

Lance Bass' new memoir Out of Sync gives readers all the gory details of his coming of age, including his first homo-encounter. Writes NYDN's Ben Widdicombe:

Bass says he first learned about the birds and the birds in 2000, when he met a comely chorus boy at a cast party for Mamma Mia! in Chicago.

"In a bold gesture, I managed to invite him back to my hotel room without anybody knowing about it," he recalls.

It's incredible the stage song bird didn't sing about it.

Meanwhile, in other Bass-related news, The New York Times spent some inkage studying the Hairspray actor and got him to open up about writing the book:

I’ve been asked too many times to write a book by the fans. And it was very, I don’t know, like, therapeutic, writing this book. Because the whole time, with ’NSync especially, it went by just so fast, it was like a blur. There was a lot of different things that I didn’t realize were going on.

The Times article also features some commentary from a very familiar face. Or, rather, name.

[PS: Out of Sync currently stands at 333 on Amazon's best seller list, up from 1,252.]

One-time reality show contestant and former Lance Bass boy toy Reichen Lehmkuhl apparently likes to play dress-up. Reichen posted some pictures of his drag-a-licious self on MySpace and DNA snatched up this one, by far the choicest of the bunch.

As you can see Reichen's inner lady's a bit crazed. Just like him!

Lance Bass must have the shittiest gay-dar. The singer, Hairspray actor and Britney sympathizer once thought that former bandmates Justin Timberlake and Chris Fitzpatrick were also homo.

Pop superstar Justin Timberlake once harbored dreams of starring in a gay movie.

Timberlake's former 'N Sync band mate Lance Bass…suspected the Cry Me A River singer was gay when he discovered his secret ambition.

Bass says, "We thought Justin was gay, because he told us he wanted to do a gay part in a movie."

And Bass also thought 'N Sync's Chris Fitzpatrick might find men sexually attractive.
He adds, "We thought Chris was gay because he used to hang out with a choreographer."

Oh, please. That's hardly a reason to think someone's gay. Frosted blond tips and a goatee? Definitely gay.

Poor Britney Spears. She probably thought boy bander Lance Bass came out to her before everyone else because he valued her friendship. Bass, however, tells GQ he told her about his gay ways because he felt bad for her. Because, you know, nothing's worse than being gay!

Bad friend boy bander Lance Bass' yet to be released memoir Out of Sync currently comes in at 1,252 on Amazon.com's best-seller list. Jonathan Plummer's atrocious tell-all, Balancing Act, falls at a disgraceful 166,632.

In other gay book news, Dina McGreevey's Silent Memoir: A Memoir of My Marriage grabbed the 51,214th slot, while ex-hubby and gay American Jim McGreevey's The Confession paperback's comes in near at 370,711.

Lance Bass needs to take a chill pill.

E!'s Marc Malkin reports that the former boy bander went bonkers at New York's Barracuda:

I’m told that Bass, currently playing Corny Collins in Hairspray on Broadway, got into a screaming match with a pal outside gay bar Barracuda in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.

According to an eyewitness, Bass and the pal arrived at the watering hole around midnight. Things got ugly, my eyewitness says, when the wobbly pal “started causing a scene and yelled at a bartender.”

“He was creating a commotion, and then he and Lance took it outside,” the eyewitness says. “They fought outside, screaming at the top of their lungs.”

Rather than resort to fist-to-cuffs, young Bass hopped in a cab in fled the scene - and said bye-bye-bye to his pal!

That's so gay.

Lil' Lance Bass got a big opportunity yesterday when Nasdaq invited him to close trading for the day. The temporary - and controversial - New Yorker, who's staring in Hairspray, received the invitation after signing on to host Broadway to Broadway.

We're not sure if you've heard, but it's Fashion Week here in New York. It's absolutely glorious. The streets are absolutely overflowing with scrumptious male models. They're everywhere! Hanging from the rafters, even!

And, of course, these attractive specimens are strutting their shit on the catwalk, speading designer love all over the Big Apple.

We've included some of today's shows - Band of Outsiders, The Cast and Carlos Campos - after the jump. Oh, and Lance Bass does his best model imitation on the Nautica plank.

Don't worry, we included real models, too.

New York's obviously making Lance Bass feisty, because the transient 'Orker blasted New York journo Jada Yuan over this week's Intelligencer blurb.

In said blurb, journo recounts Bass' statements on his new New York living, including his dislike for floral prints and the fact the singer's only been to Justin Timberlake's restaurant a "few times". Well, Bass apparently doesn't like his own summation, because he launched one of the bitchiest attacks we've seen Sledd v. Perez.

Only more intelligent. Slightly.

Lance Bass' career may have brought him to New York, but the Hairspray star's heart lies elsewhere. New York magazine caught up with the out entertainer and got his uncensored thoughts on the big apple. And they're not very nice. First, he's not down with our real estate:

There’s a lot of pieces of crap here for a lot of money. And I don’t think anyone here has any style. I was looking at fully furnished places and it was like, you can either have a bunch of floral prints or some dusty couch from the 1960s.

While the newly single Bass doesn't say where he finally settled, we bet it's not the Upper East Side, where former band mate Justin Timberlake owns a restaurant, Southern Hospitality: “I’ve been a few times. But it’s really up there. The Upper East Side? I’m not in college anymore." No, Lance, no you're not….

Bass' New York adventure hasn't been all bad. The former boy bander learned a new skill: "My walking pace has picked up a lot." You better be a good runner, girl, 'cause we New Yorkers don't take kindly to LA-types trashing our town.
