How does he do it?
Less than three months since booting ex-love Pedro Andrade, former boy bander and forever homosexual Lance Bass managed to snag himself another uber-attractive love interest.
Writes Jared of Just Jared: “Lance Bass show[ed] off his new man, hairdresser Ben Thigpen, at the fifth anniversary bash for downtown hotspot Butter on Monday night.”
Now, we don’t want to doubt Thigpen’s intentions, but – well, look at that picture. Remember that game “Something in this picture doesn’t belong”?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Yeah, this definitely falls in that category…

It must be great to be a celebrity — even a fading one. You get to snag the hot guys that use you as a stepping stone to some publicity themselves. Sure, you must feel a little yucky that they don’t want you for yourself, but hey, what a great way to spend some time.

he’s chewing gum while drinking Dom?
Lady Lance is so classy!

I know you bitches at Queerty are bitches. But, DAMN, you are Bitches.
Have you guys hung out with Lance Bass? Do you know him to be a terrible person? Is it not possible that traditionally good looking people can actually go for less genetically blessed individuals? And for that matter, what is so horribly deformed about Bass? He may not be a model, but he’s not an obese hunchbacked gnome or something.
But I guess the Queerty folks (and commenters like ToddC) are here to infuse our world with cynical spite. God forbid two human beings forge a connection that isn’t based on looks or publicity.

What people who have never seen him in person don’t get is that he is hot.
He looks wierd in photos but everytime I see him at the gym or the grocery store I think hot damb.

What the hell are you talking about, ToddC? The guy is a HAIRDRESSER, not a model or an aspiring actor. What kind of fame is he going to get from dating Lance Bass? He’ll get his name in all the magazines, but what kind of publicity would a hairdresser be looking for? He’s not trying to launch an acting career.
It’s amazing how Lance dates someone attractive and people are automatically like, “He’s using him.” Is Lance only allowed to date ugly people? Please.

I totally agree with Gregg there is more to looks, and im pretty good looking (and modest) but half of the time I date guys that are way hot, and its mostly the way i talk to them and my attitude, and other times i date guys that are not very attractive by popular demand, however they make me feel great, and i dont know their very thoughtfull and always there for me. It really a matter of Attitude. Looks do matter but in the end the winner is always attitude. so smack downnn bitches!
Woof
I thought only 13 year old girls liked Lance Bass?

That dude is a Star Fucker.

Dave nailed it.
Although I am not sure what is missing… besides actual physical contact between the two. Maybe I am ditzy today.

My GOD this site can be shallow sometimes. Seems like whoever wrote the article on Lance’s new boyfriend is a jealous queen…
Lance and his new boyfriend may last, or might be over in a week… WHO CARES… It’s their lives – if it works for them, cool…

Besides, he did just come out. There is a stage of coming out called “crashing out”… which includes lots of sex. … or boyfriend-having. Actually, it has been over ten years since I read the stages… things might have changed. My point is… who cares? Pro or con?
And I will have to believe that Lance looks better in person because I have never seen why people find him attractive. He looks like a nice guy, tho.

Sometimes I have to give a big WTF to some people, Lance is quite cute. What is it women posting all this “he’s ugly” stuff? Women think 80 year old Sean Connery is hot.
ToddC
Call me a bitch, but trust me.. Ben Thigpen is not going to be just a hairdresser / stylist much longer.

When I’m famous and manage to roll through a series of uber-hot boyfriends I fully expect Queerty to post some bitchy comments about me, too. Keep it coming, boys.
Whoever
Just because he’s hot does not make him a star chaser. He is FAMILY to me and he is a GREAT person – better than ALL of you could ever hope to be.

Lance was much more handsome before he got the weird nose-thinning surgery. He looks okay now, but has thrown his face out of balance. Was so unnecessary.
