Lance Bass and Reichen reportedly split...
I don't know why this doesn't surprise me but Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl have split up. The break-up apparently happened very recently and was a mutual decision, reports PerezHilton.com, the blog site which essentially forced the couple to go public by printing pictures of them wearing each other's clothes. Reichen later tried to make an adjective out of his boyfriend by saying he and other celebs such as Neil Patrick Harris had been "Lanced."
I will say, once Lance came out on the cover of People magazine, he and Reichen were EVERYWHERE and were indeed the IT couple for about a month or two. Reichen, who won CBS' "Amazing Race" with then-partner Chip Arndt several years back, has been through all of this public break-up stuff before and he is very fond of the limelight. He and Chip went on to appear on the cover of several magazines after they won the show even though they had, in private, decided to part ways.
Which brings us to Lance Bass. I think this will be a defining time for this former NSYNC band member, a time for him to accomplish something on his own and show what it is he can do. Sing? Act? I don't really have a sense of him but now maybe he'll find out who he is and why we should care.

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

A relationship born in such an intense spotlight doesn't have much of a chance. And I have to agree with you -- it's time for Lance Bass to get something going in terms of his artistic self. I'm not as knowledgeable about the situation as you are, but I get the sense that Reichen is quite the publicity hound (not that I don't admire his efforts to expose the military's extremly poor policies as regards to gays and lesbians). Time for Reichen to grow up (I base this on my viewing of "The Amazing Race"). You need more than tabloid fame.
