Thousands of girls between the ages 16 and 24 will be crushed today to find out that one of the members of pop sensation *NSync is gay! Lance Bass is coming out. Not a surprise for all of us who read celebrity rags. But even for those of you don't read celebrity gossip you had to have had some inkling that there was just something not right with Lance. The stark white/blonde hair, the overly plucked eyebrows, we knew. At least I always knew. Lance Bass reveals in this week's people that he is in fact gay and is in a "very stable" relationship with Reichen Lehmkuhl, Amazing Race Winner. Now all we need is Gayken aka Clay Aiken to come and admit that he is gay as well. Because we all know he is.

NEW YORK (AP) - Lance Bass, band member of 'N Sync, says he's gay and in a "very stable" relationship with a reality show star. Bass, who formed 'N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity.
"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he tells the magazine.
'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space.
Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt "the end of 'N Sync." He explains, "So I had that weight on me of like, 'Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did."

The singer says he's in a "very stable" relationship with 32-year-old actor Reichen Lehmkuhl, winner of season four of CBS'"Amazing Race."
Bass and Fatone, 29, are developing a sitcom pilot inspired by the screwball comedy "The Odd Couple," in which his character will be gay.
"The thing is, I'm not ashamed - that's the one thing I went to say," Bass says. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy."
