Well, he will no doubt have a less interesting life to write about than say, Maya Angelo or Bill Clinton, but hey, if Paris Hilton can write a book why not Lance Bass? People.com reports today former boy-bander and aspiring cosmonaut Bass is adding a new title to his résumé: author.
Bass, 27, plans to reveal "all about his life, his music and his sexuality" in a memoir, "Out of Sync," his publisher, Simon Spotlight Entertainment (an imprint of Simon & Schuster), announced Wednesday.
The book will hit stores in October.
In it, Bass will tell readers about his childhood in small-town Mississippi, his experiences as a member of the hugely popular boy band (which started with a phone call from Justin Timberlake when Bass was 16), and, in 2002, his four months in Russia training to be a cosmonaut on a space mission (though he was forced to drop out because of a lack of funds).
He will also talk about his life as a gay man, including his struggle to keep his sexuality hidden from fans and his decision to come out of the closet on the cover of PEOPLE in July.
