Roasted Bass The Special Of The Day On 'Dancing' Finale
We were shocked to learn that Dancing with the Stars continued its search for America's Next Top Cha Cha-ing Z-Lister after Cloris Leachman was unceremoniously ejected from the proceedings. (Did they really have to insist her partner grab her by her limbs, spin her around, and launch her into the bleachers? That still seems excessively harsh to us.) But continue it did, and multi-purpose, large-breasted Hollywood personality Brooke Burke deservedly took the show's coveted disco ball trophy. More » -

This Week In Tabloids: Brangeliniston Vs. Twilight
If it's Wednesday, this must be Midweek Madness, in which we devour the celebrity tabloids with a hunger for "news." There's no new issue of OK! today, because last week was a "double issue"... not that we noticed. As for the other mags, it was almost a Brangeliniston sweep this week, with Brad and Jennifer on three of four covers, sometimes joined by Angelina. Only Life & Style bucked the trend, for a new trend: a story featuring the stars of Twilight. Does it matter that the article has zero substance? Only the newsstand sales will tell! Intern Margaret was stuck on a train for an hour and a half, hence this delayed — but incredibly informative — edition of Midweek Madness… We're all aboard Life & Style, In Touch, Us and Star, after the jump.

Massive Prop. 8 Protest Galvanizes Gays, Allies, Random Celebs
"NO MORE MR. NICE GAY," read one of the many signs last night in Los Angeles as Defamer attended a huge anti-Prop. 8 rally that drew several thousand — then set them marching all over the city. (Your Defamer was also partial to another sign, referencing the easily-passed, animal rights-granting Prop. 2: "I Want What the Chickens Got!") It was powerful, emotional stuff, and even more fireworks should erupt today at 2pm, when the crowd takes their fight to the Mormon temple on Santa Monica Blvd to protest the many millions the church sunk into passing the anti-gay Prop. 8. Until then, though, let's relive the night the best way Defamer knows how: with celebrity spottings and silly anecdotes! You can see the Robert Rodriguez-less Rose McGowan protesting up above — who else was there, and who wasn't? More » -

Reichen Lehmkuhl's Bleak Dating Tips Suggest Reality TV Stars Might Never Find True Happiness
Reichen Lehmkuhl, the square-jawed former U.S. Air Force recruit who found a measure of fame winning Amazing Race and later as Lance Bass's boyfriend, may at first glance seem to have it all: the calendars, the flight-themed, gay-man's jewelry collections, the underwear- model- search- winning boyfriend...Oops, not so fast, as a recent update to his MySpace page (the first place fans go to be informed of any major changes in his seemingly doomed personal life) suggests that yet again, all is not what it appears in a perfect universe filled with depilated abs and seam-compromised Speedo baskets.

Celebrities Well Aware That You Hate Them
Ryan Seacrest, American Idol emcee and probable gay, graces the cover of Details this month, looking forlorn next to a headline that reads "Ryan Seacrest Knows What You Think of Him." It's remarkably similar to Lance Bass's January Advocate cover, which featured the pensive-looking "singer" and the sad statement that "Lance Bass Knows You Talk Trash About Him." Why the similarities? Why the self-pity?? Jossip suggests it's because, you know, "there are so few things you can say about gay people to make them sound interesting." This is true! Also, no one likes Ryan Seacrest or Lance Bass. Click here for larger image, at Jossip. -

Lance Bass Recalls The Time He Tried To Cheer Up Britney Spears By Revealing That He Enjoys Sex With Men
Former 'NSYNC member Lance Bass popped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote his memoir Out of Sync (opening sentence: "I've known I was different ever since I was five years old. For one thing, I had what I guess you could call innocent crushes on boys."). He relayed, for an extremely gay-curious Kimmel, the story of how he came out to Britney Spears back in 2004: More » -

Is Part Two of the Lance Bass Autobiography In The Works?
Last night at a David Kuhn-thrown party at Hotel QT, (more later) we ran into Patrick Price, who was Lance Bass's editor Simon Schuster editor Out of Sync: A Memoir. You can look it up, he is the 66th person thanked (after "all my buddies at NASA," God and Jamie Lynn Sigler). Price is a smart looking petite gay man. Bass is the lesbian from 'N Sync who wanted to be an astronaut. So how was working with young Mr. Bass? There was a long pause and a 'how do I say this without getting fired' look: "I mean it's very much Lance Bass. It's very unfiltered." To wit: "We had such starlight in our eyes, we believed we were going to blow everybody away. Then the final votes came back and it turned out we'd lost—to a girl who was deaf!" [Page 10] But more important were questions of the future, not the past. Would there be a Out of Sync Two (perhaps even titled A Life Lived Bass Ackwards?). Price smiled shiftily: "Well, his life continues. There might be a volume two!" -

Dear MySpace Diary: Why Can't Lance Just Get Over Me Already? Love, Reichen
We know better than to get between an ugly gay divorce, particularly that of singer (that's what he does, right?) Lance Bass and his fame-hungry reality TV star ex, Reichen Lehmkhul, but when they take their bickering out of the privacy of the Crunch cardio room, where most Gays have the decency to work out their personal issues, and decide to splash them across the pages of major publications and MySpace blogs, like it or not, their problems become our problems. According to Reality Blurred, the latest round began with a interview in the current GQ in which Lance blamed the break-up on Reichen's infidelities, saying, "I thought [at the time], 'Why does everyone hate him?" At the end, I was like, 'Ok, everyone was right.'" Star Magazine then reported that Bass was sent a letter in which he threatened to sue. Lehmkhul clarified the issue on his MySpace page yesterday: More » -

Publicist Ken Sunshine perhaps needs to take a small vacation? In response to questions about a claim his client Lance Bass made in an interview about having been married in Vegas seven years ago (to a woman), Sunshine said that Bass had in fact, never been married and replied: "By saying he was married in Vegas, it was a way to get free drinks." Way to quash those barely-at-bay rehab rumors. -

Not only does Village Voice gossip Michael Musto mention barebacking twice in this week's column, but, the following pickup line actually worked on him last week: "You're lovely. I want you to ride me all night. Why are we still here?" (See? Didn't even have to use a neg!) Last we saw Mr. Musto—last night, leaving Lance Bass's book party at 8:53 p.m. (the party started at 8:00, Lance arrived at 8:20), he was in the company of a young hottie. Is our Musto the new gay mack daddy? The boy was saying "I have about 15 drink tickets left!" Young and thirsty, just the way we like 'em too! -

Lance Bass And 'New York' In Spatty Meowfest
For a brief glimpse of a moment last week we genuinely liked Lance Bass. He'd just given an interview with New York mag's party hobbit Jada Yuan in which he A) bitched accurately about the NY real estate market B) dissed astutely Justin Timberlake's new restaurant and C) copped admirably to being the worst dancer in 'N Sync. "I've been a few times," he said about Southern Hospitality. "But it's really up there. The Upper East Side? I'm not in college anymore." Now Bass claims that he said no such things and he's demanding a retraction. More » -

Excellent news, people. Lance Bass, who refers to himself as LBeezy, writes on his MySpace blog that "Howdy!! I just got the cover from my publisher of my book! It is under my pics because I dont know how to post it here. And since we are on the subject I just want to say I do not want my book to flop! One funny night I decided to "jokingly" say "oh it will probably flop" to a TMZ "reporter". (like all my quotes?) Again it was a joke. Im not an idiot— I wrote this book so that it might help those out there interested in the music industry, space, and/or coming out storit?y." So many topics!!

Scenes From A Ball
Heatherette's fantastical, Tinsley Mortimer-studded voyage to the Life Ball in Vienna occurred over Memorial Day weekend, as James Kurisunkal and his email aliases so reliably informed us, but it's taken the Post's Brian Niemietz until now to recover from the festivities enough to tell us about them. And oh, what a Ball it was!Lance Bass accidentally smashed a champagne flute against a fellow partygoer's mouth while dancing wildly, thus requiring stitches. It wasn't until the next morning that the smashee, a makeup staffer on the trip, realized glass shards were embedded in his bleeding lip. Luckily, a dentist and volunteer organizer named Fernando was on hand to provide stitches.
Could this be the gayest paragraph ever to have appeared in the Post? All Cindy Adams columns excluded, of course. More » -

Jon Bon Jovi Won't Play BEA
Very bad news! Fans of Jon Bon Jovi will have to wait "indefinitely" to read the "never-before-told stories of Jon's experiences as a screen actor, as well as insights into his commitment to social and political causes; and behind-the-scenes descriptions of the songwriting sessions that gave birth to some of the greatest hits of the modern era" in his bio, Believe, which has been "postponed" by Random House imprint Flying Dolphin Press. But it gets worse: The book's unreadiness for publication means that Bon Jovi won't play their hotly anticipated Book Expo America benefit concert (sharing a bill with Amy Grant! Baby, baby!). Still there's hope: if a new headliner can be arranged, the BEA allows that the show might be able to go on. "Our minds are very open," their event planner tells Bookslut. In that case! How about the author of the soon to be classic Out Of Sync? Yes, Lance Bass comes out (har) in October. More » -

Retitle Lance Bass's Gaymoir!
Former boybander Lance Bass, who not-shocked the world with an announcement of his gayitude this past summer, has just sold a memoir to classy S&S imprint Simon Spotlight Entertainment. It's called Out Of Sync, and it's "a 'candid' book about his life, his music, and his life as a gay man." We like the concept, but frankly, we think the title needs some work!

Lance Bass' Extra-Happy Meal
The web archaeologists over at BestWeekEver.tv have unearthed a particularly impressive specimen: a 2001 McDonald's commercial featuring recently queer-empowered Lance Bass up at bat during a round of spin-the-bottle with the members of *NSYNC and Britney Spears. With the odds an attractive 5-1 that Bass would be spared the one vagina at the table, the bottle lands on the big money: Justin Timberlake, whose convincingly icked-out reaction undoubtedly drew upon countless late-night tour bus inquiries from his bandmate along the lines of, "Hey, Justin? You still up? Wanna arm wrestle, then compare abs?" More » -

Lance Bass Is Here! He's Near Queers! Get Used To It!
Back in the late 1990s, when *NSYNC was at the height of its boy band powers, if you were to have told us that one of its members was gay, and it was Lance Bass, we would have patiently sat you down and explained how that was simply impossible. Nothing about Bass—not his frosty-tipped hair, his immaculately manicured brows, nor his fondness for crocodile skin couture—pointed "that" way. The rumors have followed him, however, and while some just seemed outlandish—that his space tourism attempt was just Phase One of a larger plan to develop the Moon into a full-service gay resort, for example—a consensus has developed over the years that Bass is indeed a Gay who's cautiously inching his way out of the closet. Most recently, he was spotted cavorting around Provincetown with former Amazing Race winner and Second Tier Gay Celebrity™ Reichen Lehmkuhl. ABCNews.com's Buck Wolf uses the opportunity to pontificate on the true nature of Gay: "Visiting a gay club doesn't confirm that you are gay," he writes, netting high points for journalistic integrity. (And he's right: Maybe a hetero Lance has landed a role in the fake gay fireman movie, too.) Until a reporter can say they were literally perched on the corner of a hotel room bed, scribbling notes as they observed Reichen vigorously ass-fucking Bass (c'mon, he's gotta be the bottom*), Bass deserves the benefit of the doubt.
