I promise, it's not that I've stopped feeling the need to make sure you're kept abreast of every single little thing Lance Bass does. It's that he's doing way way way too much to keep up with!
I got my hot little hands on a copy of his book last week and promptly read it cover to cover (total reading time: approx. 80 minutes, and only because I had to read a few pages three or four times because I was, well, enjoying it a little too much).
Highlights included: Betrayed by skeezy Lou Pearlman! (How did everyone not know Lance was gay when he took Lou's lousy $25,000 payment for years of hard work, tore the check into little pieces, and stormed out of the room like a proper drama queen?) Heartbroken by Justin! Desperately seeking a serious boyfriend! I hope no one expected this to be a great literary accomplishment. But it was exactly what I was hoping for -- a print version of an extra-long, extra-gay version of Behind the Music.
Even Behind the Music had better lame B-roll graphics than the ones we saw on Friday's 20/20, which I tried to liveblog but my ability to type was compromised by this weird paralyzing appreciation for his utter deadpan: "If you can't have a beer in your hand -- if that's gonna make thousands of girls not buy your album -- then being gay is definitely gonna make girls not buy your album." And then, when trying to explain how conservative Christians feel about gay people -- "Being gay is just wrong. We don't know why it's wrong, it's just wrong!"
And then there he was, all lounging and relaxed on Good Morning America yesterday, chatting like this whole coming out thing was kind of a blur, but all the time seeming confident and happy and calm and collected. Something about that -- and how the name Perez appears nowhere in his book, press materials or anywhere in this coverage -- recalls the tried but true "living well is the best revenge."
Now you can look forward to his appearance on the Tyra Banks Show later today, where she'll get him to go right to the good stuff -- sex! Apparently everyone else was too polite to bring it up. Tyra is not too polite. Tyra is hauling out his ex-girlfriend to dish dirt on whether they ever did the deed.
