When I was 12 and obsessed with NSYNC, Lance Bass was probably my least favorite member. J.C. was my fave, and then Justin Timberlake, because even though he wasn’t really my type, he was my BFF’s fave, and it would have been a betrayal if he wasn’t my second favorite, or at least that’s what she led me to believe when we would have slumber parties and choreograph dances to every song and write fan fiction*. Then it was Chris, I guess, because he seemed fun, and then Joey and Lance just sort of sank to the bottom of my affections.
These days though, I can appreciate Lance so much more. He’s really come into his own, and he seems like an adorable, sweet dude most of the time. Tragically though, his sweetness means that he refuses to say anything about Jessica Biel that might come off as even the slightest bit negative. Also, his wedding present to Justin and Jess will be a Mickey Mouse toaster.
From Us Weekly:
Looks like Lance Bass is on the guest list for his former ‘N Sync bandmate’s wedding to his longtime love Jessica Biel!
“[Justin Timberlake]’s like my brother, so there’s no question about [whether or not I’ll make it to his wedding!]” Bass told Us Weekly at the Maxim Hot 100 party in NYC Thursday.
Earlier this spring, the couple was reportedly scouting locations in Italy for a potential destination wedding. “Any time you get to travel, it’s fun!” Bass added.
Back in April, the star came up with the perfect wedding gift for his friend, a former Mickey Mouse Club cast member.
“The man has everything, so a nice little toaster will do — maybe the one that puts a little Mickey Mouse emblem on it!” Bass revealed to Us at a West Hollywood event.
Wedding gifts and details aside, the 34-year-old has nothing but great things to say about Timberlake’s off-again, on-again love who he proposed to in December 2011.
“[Jessica]’s amazing. One of the best people I know,” he continued to Us. “She has always been one of the guys. She’s like a best friend. It’s like hanging out with a best friend.”
Ok, sure he might genuinely like Jessica Biel. But in this whole interview, he sounds like one of those people who act like everything that ever happened is the best thing that ever happened. Does that make sense? Like, I feel like if he’d have had time, he would have kept going for ages about how great everything is. And there are definitely worse ways to be, but jeez, if I wanted Jessica Biel shoved down my throat this morning … I would never want Jessica Biel shoved down my throat.
*Can I tell you guys a secret? I have an old trapper keeper somewhere that is absolutely full of NSYNC fan fiction that my BFF and I wrote together. There are literally hundreds of pages of it. We would pass notes back in forth in class, plotting out our stories. One time this asshole in eighth grade grabbed one of the notes out of my hand and held it over my head, threatening to read it out loud and I flipped out. I think I scared him, and he gave it back, but you guys. That trapper keeper is in a safe, safe place now.
JC was my favorite, too! (I stopped reading after that lol) Justin was always so “meh” to me. I always thought JC had a better voice.
