Lance/Reichen split: NOW they want "privacy"
Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl are attempting to work out their relationship, they tell PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
"We remain the best of friends," they say. "Please respect our privacy as we try to work things out during this difficult time."
Hmmmmm. Something tells me they aren't going to "work things out" since they have already gotten all the ink they can possibly get outa each other. During their relationship, the two made many public appearances together, including red-carpet events and Lehmkuhl's book release party for his memoir Here's What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, and the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The NY Post's PAGE SIX column gives this account of the split: Lance Bass finally kick Reichen Lehmkuhl to the curb - we hear he's already got another man. At the opening of Sunset Beach in L.A. the other day, Bass showed up with "a very attractive man as his date," said our spy. Bass refused to pose for pictures with the stranger, and snuck in and out of the side entrance. Page Six first reported the troubles Bass and Lehmkuhl were having due to the former Marine's insistence on Bass dropping his straight friends and not having a full-time job. Bass' friends also think Lehmkuhl maneuvered the former *NSYNC-er into coming out at the same time as his book debut, "Here's What We'll Say."

Is it wierd that I think he's cuter as a gay guy than previously when he was "straight" in NSYNC? It could be that he just looks happier...

lance gay? apparently he was the last to figure that out.
and weren't reichen and chip married? oh well, so much for gay role models!
i'm disgusted by this stupid story and long for real gay role models who have CHARACTER! surely, hopefully, such guys do exist in the public eye.
NOT these two chumps!

He must be very comfortable when telling the public who he is.He should be respected.I'm truly envious to him.In Vietnam,I can't tell people I'm gay.Gay,somehow,is not respected in my country absolutely.As you see,my English ability is too bad to express myself.All I want to say is letting Lance Bass live his life as he expects.Thanks for reading.Please write me an e-mail If you have a same thinking with me.My name's Duy,20/m/Vietnam.ID: childhood_at_highschool@yahoo.com
