Book parties aren’t known to be ragers and, sadly, Lance Bass‘ was no exception.
We strolled on over to Azza on 55th street last night expecting to see hordes of homos clamoring for a little boy bander action. Boy, were we surprised when we were ushered straight in and down the stairs, where a smattering of gents had gathered to celebrate Bass’ new book, Out of Sync. If there were more details, we’d give them, but absolutely nothing interesting happened. Except, of course, that we finally met Gawker’s Choire Sicha, who high-tailed it approximately .2 seconds after we turned our backs. Speaking of time: it took Michael Musto all of five seconds to find two cute admirers. We were, quite frankly, astounded.
After hiding out in the VIP area, Mr. Bass cruised through the room to greet his adoring gays. All twelve of them. No doubt the Hairspray actor longed for the N Sync days, when he had masses of screaming fans. Despite the dearth of attendees, Bass’ book continues to rise on Amazon’s best-seller list. It’s currently at 103, up from 333. The spike may or may not have to do with it being 32% off the cover price.

Yes, another celebrity ghost-written book. Great for the ghost writers, for these individuals are like “hand or feet models” and equally visible.
Lance’s life proves one thing. Whether you are straight, or gay and lesbian, the Hollywood musical bed syndrome is alive and well.

Didn’t you get the death threat from the Reichen Mafia? They didn’t want people hearing anything more like what Lance told “GQ” below about their godmother. That probably had something to do with the small crowd. [Was the absence of female boy band fans more an indication of poor publicity or the effect his coming out had on them?] And, despite the squirming, pre-cuming larger crowds that showed up for some of Lehmkuhl’s signings, and the tens of thousands of dollars of free publicity he got across TV/print press/the Net solely because of his association with Lance [interesting timing, n’est-ce pas?], as the “Washington Blade” reported months ago, only about 6000 copies of “Here’s What I’ll Lie About” were actually sold. Gay bios have a small market in any case, but it’s telling to see that John Amaechi’s book sold five times as many as Little Reichen’s tho he had been unknown to the gay community year before vs. the multiyear overexposure [in more ways than one] of Ms. Lehmkuhl and didn’t have the latter’s surgically enhanced fantasy factor nor got anything close to the kind of mainstream media attention that Mr. They Raped Me By Giving Me A Blow Job That I Wanted Again & Again.
“GQ: There were tabloid reports that [Reichen] cheated on you, yes?
BASS: Of course. It was embarrassing because everyone was right. I was madly in love. I was so happy. People would talk so much shit about him. I thought, ‘Why does everyone hate him’? At the end I’m like, ‘Okay, everyone was right.'”

It was funny to see the comments in the NY Times on Sunday by Lance about how he is bitter that JT left him and the other N-Sync no-talents in the lurch and how he wishes they could have kept it going. Yes, we would all like someone extraordinary to be our meal-ticket and to ride on their coat-tails indefinitely. You are on your own now, Lance, get used to it.

Justin Trailertrash “extraordinary,” nn? P.T. Barnum said, “A sucker is born every minute.” You were, no doubt, a premature baby. I bet you think Crap, excuse me, Rap is “art,” too.

The only thing “extraordinary” about JT are his black producers….Timbaland in particular. Minus them, he’d be another Lance Bass.

I happen to think JT’s tight little body is pretty extaordinary!

Has anyone seen the clip of Lance on the Tyra Show with his ex-girlfriend Danielle Fishel? It’s honestly one of the best and most adorably revealing clips EVER.
