What’s the big deal? He’s young, good looking, should have lots of money and seemingly well adjusted since he freed himself from the shackles of the closet. Ricky Martin ought to give him a call for some tips.

Lance, you’re cute, honey, but FOR GOD’S SAKE, EAT SOMETHING!!!

I sat next to the late Heath Ledger on the subway train. He was doing the whole hide behind sunglasses thing that makes stars recognizable as out of place. People pointed at him and whispered. I faked like I didn’t know who he was to give him his privacy. I assume its a routine because I’ve variously been at a bar where Gina Gershon was seeking to be incognito by wearing shades indoors at night in a corner booth. Anyway, back to the subway- yes, stars ride subways. I actually think it is faster than a cab in NYC depending on where you are coming from and where you are going.

Everyone takes the subway. Who cares?

@rayy: Ummm. He looks fine.
In fact, he looks pretty damn hot. And believe me, I NEVER thought I’d say that about Lance.
Sam
Yeah, not all that surprising to see famous people on the subway. I’m generally oblivious while commuting (headphones on, nose in a book), yet I’ve run into Hilary Swank, Adrian Grenier and Maggie Gyllenhaal underground. I’m sure a more observant person would have a longer list.

My favorite is when they pretend they want to hide, but make themselves so ridiculously obvious that it’s almost sad. I was in a Gym and John Cusack not only was wearing his Sunglasses inside but when he got up on the Bike, he kept the glasses on and then put a towell over his head. Nobody had said a word to the guy and by the end people were looking away from him like you do when you see a crazy homeless person jabbering to themselves and you don’t want to make eye contact.

@rayy: Still think he needs to eat something?????

@Cam: I had a bad run in with Cusack once in LA. He’s a bit of a nut I think when it comes to his fame. I was with some friends at a Coffee Bean (I think that’s the name- it’s been years). We were standing in line behind him. I thought I saw a dollar or money drop out of his pocket. I looked down. I see money on the ground. I pick it up. I do the polite thing by attempting to give the money back to him. I said “you drop your money.” He looked at me like I was crazy. He said “that’s not my money.” I pointed out that I thought I just saw it fall out of his pocket. He gets this look in his eye like I am a papparazi trying to snap a photo. After saying, are you sure it is not your money just to give him a second chance, he said “no, can you leave me a lone?” So, I took money, looked at my friends who were all like “wow he’s a bit nuts” and stuck it in my pocket.

@Cam: By the way, that’s not the craziest celebrity story regarding how they view the general public. I heard of this story through a friend. I am not sure if it is bullshit or not. But they were in a bathroom taking a piss when Prince’s body guard walked in scoping the place. At first my friend says he had no glue what the hell was going on. Finally prince walks in. My friend says he starts to wash his hand as Prince fully enters the bathroom, and the first thing out prince’s mouth as my friend is about to leave is “stay back” like my friend was stalking him or something rather than being in the bathroom before prince entered the rest room. My guess is with some famous people they come to view everyone as a fan trying to harass them although the truth may be very different from their paranoia. My friend was like whatever- he’s into hard rock music so it was not like he was a fan of prince.

“he had no glue”
why did your friend need glue in the bathroom in the first place?
lolololololol

I would totally hit that. And isn’t it weird how he ended up being the hottest of all of them? Yes, I think even more than Justin.
SSCHIEFRSHA
This boy has really come out his shell bangin’. Why didn’t he look like this during his Nsync days? I’d have been listening intently.

Lance is hotter than ever. I always liked him, even when he was in the background to Justin during N’Sync. I wish they would re-form the group, get back together, and come out with a new album and go on tour. They would even be able to keep the money, now that Lou Perlman is in jail.

@rayy: Don’t get mad because you’re fat and he’s not. Being overweight is unhealthy. Choosing to be unhealthy is ugly.
The Artist
@D’oh, The Magnificent: Prince can also rock hard. This story seems silly. The man is all about PEACELUVNBWILD!
D'oh, The Magnificent
@The Artist: The ability to play a guitar does not make one rock. I like his music, but also like true rock music, and he ain’t rock.
The story relates to celebrity mentality and those surrounding them. I imagine your fan obsession with him for example is probably why he is leery of normal people doing their normal life functions like using a rest room around him. Why? Because you put him up on this unrealistic pedestal. He can do dumb things like the rest of us.
