Being a kid, more specifically a girl, who grew up in the '90s, you were either a Backstreet Boys fan or an N'Sync fan. Personally, I was a Backstreet Boys fan, A.J. McClean being my favorite. Though being a Backstreet Boys fan, I had to do the occasional N'Sync bashing, I did own their albums and liked their stuff. When N'Sync member Lance Bass publicly came out of the closet I, personally wasn't shocked. Last month Lance published his memoir, "Out of Sync," which I am completely excited about reading. I watched an interview with Lance and Tyra Banks and I was very intrigued. In the book Lance writes about his struggle with keeping his sexuality and relationships a secret from his band mates and the public, in fear of jeopardizing the bands success and his career. From what Lance was saying in the interview and just his general persona, he gives off the impression that he is doing very well and I couldn't be happier. He seems like a truly genuine person and I am glad he is able to finally be the person he truly is. Also during the interview Lance's former girlfriend Danielle Fishel spoke with him and Tyra. Fishel said how one night she thought her and Lance were going to be intimate for the first time, but Lance didn't think they should because he would be leaving for a tour and wouldn't be able to be there for her like he wished he could. Lance then commented during the interview and said that he knew then and had feelings that he was gay and that's why he didn't want to have sex with Fishel, because he didn't want her first time to be with him, because he pretty much knew that he was gay and wouldn't be able to stay with her. Lance-- what a sweetie! Stay tuned for more after I finish reading Lance's memoir.

I actually lived in Orlando during the whole boy band craze, and saw A.J. McLean at the local K-mart! He was with a big-busted woman who was a good foot taller then him. Never saw any of the others though.
