The Cab is currently on their Back From The Dead Tour, celebrating their new album Chasing Crowns. And while on the road, they've had an incredible lineup of tracks to perform, but on June 17, they brought out a very special guest while at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville.

For all the boy band lovers out there, *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick took to the stage with The Cab frontman Alex DeLeon to perform "It's Gonna Be Me." It's the crossover of our dreams!

The Cab shared the video on social media with the caption, "The moment Chris Kirkpatrick walked out for his surprise appearance on 'It's Gonna Be Me' at The Back From the Dead tour !! Thanks for coming out dude."

Singer Lance Bass, a former member of the boy band *NSYNC, is one of up to 50 million people worldwide with an often misunderstood form of diabetes: type 1.5.

Also known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), type 1.5 presents similarly to type 1 but develops in adulthood, so it's often mistaken for type 2. In fact, up to 15% of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes may actually have LADA.1

Bass was diagnosed with LADA when he was 45 years old—several years after being misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In a new interview with Health, Bass, now 47, opened up about the shock of his misdiagnosis, how he's currently managing LADA, and his focus on long-term health, especially as a father.

The Vanderpump Hotel opened with a grand celebration attended by invited guests, VIPs, and media. Lisa Vanderpump arrived at the event on the main casino floor, marking the debut of her first hotel venture. Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom and Caesars Entertainment leadership participated in the ceremony and presented Vanderpump with a Key to The Strip.

The grand opening event included appearances by Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass, Garcelle Beauvais, and cast members from "Vanderpump Rules" and "Vanderpump Villa." Guests were served food and cocktails inspired by Vanderpump's venues, as well as items from GIADA. The evening concluded with a drone show above the Las Vegas Strip.

Lance Bass, 47, says his favorite part of the day as a dad is the hour before his twins' bedtime.

In an interview with Business Insider, Bass said routines are key to keeping family life running smoothly despite his busy schedule.

"The main thing is our nightly routine. It just really ends their day the same way. About 7 o'clock is when everything turns off. They've already eaten, and we brush our teeth, we get our pajamas on, we go to their room," he said.

"My favorite time of day is that hour before bedtime, and we're in their room playing games or reading books," he said.

Bass shares 4-year-old twins - a son and a daughter - with his husband, Michael Turchin. They married in 2014 and welcomed their kids via surrogate in October 2021.

The *NSYNC member said fostering a love of reading is a major priority in his household.

Joey Fatone and JC Chasez are opening up about what an *NSYNC jukebox musical could look like.

On Sunday, June 7, the musicians appeared on the 2026 Tony Awards red carpet at Rockefeller Center in New York City, where they envisioned what it would be like to bring the boy band's music to the stage.

Fatone, 49, first told PEOPLE that the imaginary musical could be called "Bye, Bye, Bye" after their 2000 hit, before Chasez, 49, noted that if it were "Shakespearean," it could be called "Tearin' Up My Heart."

"I mean, you can do No Strings Attached, but it's all about puppets," he said, to which Chasez added, "A reimagination of Pinocchio, No Strings Attached."

The Dancing with the Stars alum also opens up about his return to & Juliet on July 2.

According to Fatone, he loves a jukebox musical because "it's fun."

The Great Frederick Fair is set to make its return to the Frederick fairgrounds from September 18th through September 26th, 2026. It's sure to be packed with rides, agricultural exhibits, fair food, and an incredible lineup of major musical talent that many MoCo residents would love to drive up for.

The Pop 2000 Tour arrives September 19, featuring Chris Kirkpatrick, a founding member of the chart-topping boy band *NSYNC; LFO, known for late-1990s hits such as "Summer Girls"; O-Town, the boy band behind "All or Nothing"; and Ryan Cabrera, known for songs including "On the Way Down" and "True."

Broadway's & Juliet will welcome back both *NSYNC star Joey Fatone and Tony winner Paulo Szot in the role of Lance this summer at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. The duo will share the role beginning July 21, alternating playing weeks. They'll succeed James Monroe Iglehart in the role, with his final bow set for June 4.

"Coming back to & Juliet feels like coming home," said Fatone in a statement. "I'm excited to jump back in and have some fun with this incredible cast."

Chris Kirkpatrick is known for more than just *NSYNC.

The former boy band member, 54, recently sat down for an interview with The Fairly Oddparents creator Butch Hartman, where the two touched on Kirkpatrick's time as Chip Skylark in the animated series.

"I can't tell you that a day goes by that, if somebody talks to me about *NSYNC or somebody knows who I am. It goes *NSYNC, Chip Skylark and then, 'You were also in an Eminem song.' Like, those are my three. That's my trifecta."

Kirkpatrick recalled revisiting his Ohio middle school around 2008, after being asked to talk to the kids about his life in music and entertainment.

Broadway's official game night, Broadway Bets, took place on May 18, 2026, for an evening of poker that raised $989,528 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. This year's event welcomed the largest number of players in its history.

Tony Award- and Olivier Award-winning producer and philanthropist Thomas S. Perakos stepped up as the first-ever presenting sponsor of Broadway Bets. His multi-year commitment of more than $1 million marked a milestone investment focusing exclusively on funding for health care, health insurance, mental health support, counseling and emergency assistance for all members of the Broadway and theater community during their critical times of need.

Justin Timberlake sang Jessica Biel's praises on Mother's Day in an Instagram post that all but silenced rumors of drama in the longtime couple's marriage. On May 10, the "Sexyback" singer took to the social media app to pay tribute to both his wife and his mother, Lynn.

"The greatest women I know," he gushed. "Happy Mother's Day."

Timberlake included three images in his tribute: a snapshot of him and Biel with their two kids, Silas and Phineas; a selfie of him and Biel; and a vintage photo of him and Lynn circa 1997.

New Jersey millennials got a surprise blast from the boy band era this week when *NSYNC stars Joey Fatone and Lance Bass popped up in Hoboken.

The duo shared an Instagram reel on Saturday, May 16, from the waterfront city showing Fatone dancing around in a tracksuit while Bass filmed the chaos in a pink shirt and jeans.

Set to "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," the video reads: "Joey doing some dumb s-" and "Me making sure to document the adventures." It's caption: "Are we moving to Hoboken?"

We hope so.

The sighting came just days after the pair reunited onstage at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Tuesday, May 12 for a performance of *NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" during Broadway's "& Juliet."

The moment nearly didn't happen as Bass sprinted from another performance and jumped on stage with Fatone at the very last minute (watch here).

In 2019, Ariana brought four members of *NSYNC onstage to sing with her at Coachella. Now two members of *NSYNC are co-producers of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical that Ariana recently called "the best show ever."

Joey Fatone and JC Chasez are producers of the musical spoof Titanique, which has received four Tony nods, including best musical. It currently features Ariana's brother, Frankie J. Grande, who was also in the off Broadway version.

As for how they got involved, Joey has starred in multiple Broadway shows, from Little Shop of Horrors to Rent to & Juliet. He tells ABC Audio, "I love the arts and I saw Titanique off Broadway. And [the show's producer] Eva Price is one of the producers of & Juliet. And obviously I was on & Juliet and I said, 'Hey, does any opportunity come along to be a producer, to be something or anything, I'd love to be part of it.'"

He then brought JC, who's currently developing his own musical, on board: "I literally said to JC, I'm like, 'C ... dude, you want to do musicals, right? ... Get in this so you can see what's going on on this side of it.'"

It was the year 2000 all over again at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Tuesday, May 12, as Joey Fatone and Lance Bass reunited to perform *NSYNC's No. 1 hit "It's Gonna Be Me" for a crowd of cheering fans.

The special moment was part of a month-long celebration that Broadway's & Juliet is throwing in celebration of the song, which has become a meme over the years on social media as a way to mark the beginning of May thanks to Justin Timberlake's pronunciation of the word "Me."

A reference to the joke is even made in the musical, which is set to a score of other songs by hitmaker Max Martin including "Since U Been Gone," "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life," "That's The Way It Is," "Can't Stop the Feeling" and more.

Tuesday's performance of the song by Fatone and Bass nearly didn't happen, however.

Theatergoers knew Fatone was leading the post-show sing-along, his role as host announced when the event was revealed earlier this month. But Bass had previous plans on the books, with tickets to see another Broadway hit - the hilarious Tony Award-nominated Best Musical Titanique - across the way.

Turns out, Titanique's 90-minute runtime worked to Bass' advantage. He ran through Times Square from the St. James Theatre, making it on stage just in time to surprise Fatone and the & Juliet audience.

"He made it! He made it!" Fatone cheered, in video of the moment shared by & Juliet's Instagram page.

"I almost got hit by six taxicabs, but I made it by the last note!" said Bass.

Universal Orlando Resort is continuing its unprecedented momentum as it prepares for a slate of compelling new guest offerings across the destination – ranging from new themed areas to delicious eateries.

While additional details will be shared in the months ahead, work will soon be underway and impact the following existing experiences:

Fat One's Hot Dogs & Italian Ice at Universal CityWalk: Founded by *NSYNC member Joey Fatone and his manager Joe Mulvihill, Fat One's Hot Dogs & Italian Ice is coming to Universal CityWalk, featuring a variety of creative, flavor-packed hot dogs, Italian ices and more for guests to enjoy. It will take the place of Hot Dog Hall of Fame, which will close in July to make way for the new venue.

Today, Metamucil, the #1 doctor-recommended fiber brand, announced the launch of "Metamucil Mic Grab," a digital content series designed to cut through the noise of viral wellness trends. Hosted by Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, the series features 90s cultural icons Lance Bass, *NSYNC member, bestselling author, producer, and host, and Danielle Fishel, actor, director, and podcaster, as they discuss their health journeys throughout the decades.

As "fibermaxxing", or reaching your daily recommended fiber intake (28g), becomes the latest viral movement, Metamucil is stepping in to remind everyone that its psyllium fiber is the "original biohack," which has supported digestive wellness for over 90 years. The series moves past the extreme diet culture of previous decades to focus on "wellness maturity"-the transition toward simple, science-backed habits that support the body as it ages.

For Bass, the series is about managing a busy life with simple, non-negotiable habits. "I love a good wellness hack as much as the next person, but when it comes to feeling great, I always come back to the basics," said Bass. "With this whole 'fibermaxxing' trend going viral, I'm laughing because, thanks to Metamucil, I've actually been doing this for years. I'm way ahead of the trend!"

When the hit Broadway musical "& Juliet" plays The Bushnell May 5-10, it will have a bonus feature that most stops on the show's national tour won't be getting: Joey Fatone in the role of Lance du Bois, the father of one of Juliet's romantic interests in the show, François.

Lance has his own romance in "& Juliet," with Juliet's former nursemaid Angelique. As these plot details suggest, the show - which has a book by David West Read, a writer/producer on the "Schitt's Creek" TV series - is playing fast and loose with Shakespeare. It takes essential characters and situations from the bard's immortal tragedy "Romeo & Juliet" and imagines what might have happened if Juliet had lived at the end of the play.

Even more imaginatively, this jukebox musical is scored with tunes associated with Swedish songwriter/producer Max Martin. The show includes musical theater versions of pop hits Martin and his various co-writers crafted for Britney Spears ("Oops… I Did It Again"), Robyn ("Show Me Love"), Bon Jovi ("It's My Life"), Kesha ("Blow"), Celine Dion ("That's the Way It Is"), Katy Perry ("Roar") and *NSYNC ("It's Gonna Be Me") - the last of which makes Fatone a great casting coup for the show.

"& Juliet" features nearly 30 well-known Martin songs, plus one, "One More Try," that's only been in this show and not on the pop charts.

Fatone played Lance in the Broadway cast of "& Juliet" before agreeing to do a few stops on the tour. He was with *NSYNC for the group's entire existence, from the mid-'90s until it split up in 2007 plus a couple of reunions. He has been a stage and film actor for much longer than that, from the live Universal Studios Florida shows he was in while still in high school before *NSYNC happened to playing Cousin Angelo in the "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" films and TV series to appearing on Broadway in "Rent" in 2002 and "Little Shop of Horrors" in 2004.

Broadway's '& Juliet' will hold a month-long celebration, "It's Gonna Be May," offering several special opportunities for fans of the hit jukebox musical all throughout the month of May, including a special sing-along performance hosted by Joey Fatone.

With a book by Emmy winner David West Read (Schitt's Creek), the musical features a score of songs by Max Martin, and is filled with familiar pop songs from the last three decades, such as "Since U Been Gone," "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life," "That's The Way It Is," "Can't Stop the Feeling," and the namesake of the month's celebration, *NSYNC favorite "It's Gonna Be Me."

The first special event will kick off May 1, with a same-day $20 in-person ticket lottery. The lottery will begin outside of the Stephen Sondheim Theatre at 5:45 PM, and cast members from the show will draw winners' names at 6:30 PM.

The following evening, & Juliet will host a special pop music night at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square beginning at 9 PM. The night will feature specialty drinks, giveaway prizes, and surprise guest appearances. Tickets are available here online, and can also be purchased at the door.

On May 12, Joey Fatone will return to the stage to host a sing-along performance, where audience members are encouraged to belt out the show's beloved hits all night long. Fatone has previously starred as Lane in the production on Broadway and the national tour.

Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass have never been afraid to share with each other.

Now, the two are sharing a special message with the world - that it's time to get serious about fiber. The two are talking about fibermaxxing and more as part of "Metamucil Mic Grab," a digital content series designed to cut through the noise of viral wellness trends.

Speaking with PEOPLE about the partnership, Fishel, 44, and Bass, 46, share some special stories from their past, including one of their favorites - going to prom together.

"Well, I mean, I never got to go to my prom. So I was so excited to be able to go to her prom, because it felt like my prom, although I was like a year older," Bass shared.

"This old man at prom," Fishel laughed.

That kids and adolescents struggle with their mental health is a matter of record. That their psychological needs aren't adequately being met is, too.

To shine a light on the mental health support children require, The Kids Mental Health Foundation is launching its "Kids' Mental Health Starts with Us" campaign in May in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

The campaign features a national public service announcement and a documentary short directed by filmmaker and actor Soleil Moon Frye and starring celebrities Malin Akerman, David and Christina Arquette, Lance Bass and Michael Turchin, Anna Cathcart, Jordan Chiles and Lucy Hale.

The aim is to "normalize dialogue around mental health and encourage families to talk openly, access The Kids Mental Health Foundation's free resources, and support one another - helping to ensure that no child feels alone in navigating emotional challenges," the organization says.

Joey Fatone once had a serious health scare while on the road.

Dave Brown, who served as tour manager for both *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, recalled getting a call from Fatone informing him, "There's something wrong with my ballsack," in his appearance on ID's Boy Band Confidential: Deep Cuts.

"We were deep somewhere in Northern California, on our way to somewhere. I don't even know. And it was all like...this was country out here. What are you, going to find a veterinarian?"

Fatone, who serves as an executive producer on Boy Band Confidential, stepped in to share his side of the story.

"The bag of my genitalia swelled up and I'm thinking to myself, 'I didn't sleep with anybody. I wasn't doing anything. What just happened?' "

After noticing the swelling, he was able to have a pre-show consult with a medical professional. "It didn't hurt. I went to... first, a doctor came to my room and said, 'Oh, does it hurt when you pee or anything?' I'm like, no, everything's fine. Great, cool."

However, the situation grew more serious after performing later that night.

"I did the show as we went on the bus. I go take a shower on the bus, and now the bag is even swollen bigger and my manhood looked like it had a welt. It was like it was making a muscle... So I tell Dave, I said, 'Dave, we need to go to a doctor.' He goes, 'No, we gotta go drive to the next city.' "

It's gonna be May? How about, it's gonna be them?

In the latest battle of the boy bands (not really!), the only competition here is who grabs the first tube at Great Wolf Lodge's waterpark.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean are joining forces to help fans and families save on a trip to the resort this summer. And all in the name of meme culture.

The deal helps guests save up to 51% on a future Great Wolf Lodge stay using promo code "BEMAY," valid only on Friday, May 1. Those taking advantage of the deal can book stays from April 28 through Aug. 13.

While this is Fatone's third year taking part of the campaign inspired by the viral "It's Gonna Be May" meme, this is McLean's first time a part of the pack. In an interview with the USA TODAY Network-Florida, Fatone and McLean's partnership shone through, further highlighting how fun this campaign is.

Organizers of the 2026 Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve Gala have announced a high-profile lineup of entertainers and celebrities for the annual event, according to LEX 18 News. The gala will be held May 1 at 8 p.m. at the home of Patricia Barnstable Brown, the event's founder.

The confirmed guest list includes music legends Patti LaBelle and Chaka Khan, country stars Tanya Tucker and Nate Smith, pop singer Luis Fonsi, and members of the '90s boy band *NSYNC, including Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Howie Dorough. The War and Treaty, an award-winning soul duo, will also attend.

Fans leave a lot of strange things for their favorite stars, but none so strange as an actual baby.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone revealed that while he was on tour early in the boy band's career, someone tried to leave a baby on his parents' doorstep.

Fatone was still living with his parents at the time of the incident, telling Howie Mandel on his "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" podcast they heard a knock on the door and "It's this woman with a child on my doorstep. In front of my parents."

The singer said his mom called him in a hurry, telling her son, "'Hey, I don't know who this person is, but she's saying the kid here, that's your daughter.' And the kid's three-years-old looking in the house going, 'Where's my dad?' And my mother's never seen this woman in her life."

If you grew up watching Topanga Lawrence navigate the halls of John Adams High and blasting "Bye Bye Bye" on your Discman, buckle up - because Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass just delivered the ultimate late-'90s time capsule moment.

Fishel, 44, hopped on Instagram on Monday, April 20, to recreate her actual senior prom photo with her ex-boyfriend Bass, 46. And yes, she wore the exact same dress. The same one. From 1999. Twenty-six years later.

In an Instagram reel shared by the Boy Meets World alum, Fishel rocked her original white prom dress - a fitted top that tied in the back with cutouts over her side and a long skirt complete with a thigh-high slit. Just like prom night circa 1999, she completed the look with silver heels and accessorized with a delicate bracelet and necklace.

For glam, Fishel went with dewy skin, rosy cheeks, pink lips and long lashes. Her blonde hair was styled in a half-up hairdo with her face-framing pieces curled.

Bass looked sharp in a black suit, and the duo matched with a white rose boutonniere and corsage - the full prom experience, people.

There are few people more qualified to take a hard, unflinching look at the complicated world of '90s boy bands than Joey Fatone.

The *NSYNC singer had a front-row seat to a defining cultural moment of the '90s and 2000s, and now, he wants others to know what really happened, executive-producing Boy Band Confidential, a two-part Investigation Discovery doc that just finished airing Tuesday night.

"Why not now?" Fatone tells The Hollywood Reporter with a chuckle at the top of our Zoom conversation when asked about the timing. "The '90s are back in a sense of nostalgia. People are digging deep into that, we're reliving things again. I think fans have heard some stories - we know the Lou Pearlman story. But there've been so many times I've talked to the guys from the other groups, and we've always had these candid conversations. I always thought it'd be good to tell their stories. Not just what the record company or management or whatever company did to them - what did they do in their lives?"

Dirty Pop.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone details the dark side of the '90s boy band world in his new documentary, "Boy Band Confidential."

Fatone, 49, told Page Six that being able to reflect on his experiences during that time period for the doc was "therapeutic."

The "pressure" of the industry can "build up," he explained, and then, "one day it's either [someone] explodes, or [falls into a] depression, and then that could lead to possibly suicide or addiction or whatever the case may be."

He said, "It's not an easy life, it's not an easy thing to go through."

Lance Bass is recalling the relief he felt when his *NSYNC bandmate Joey Fatone accidentally learned that he was gay - after discovering Bass and his boyfriend in a private moment.

Bass, now 46, is one of several stars who sat for Fatone's ID's docuseries, "Boy Band Confidential," which explores the challenges faced by such boy band alumni as Boyz II Men's Wanyá Morris and Shawn Stockman, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, 98 Degrees' Nick Lachey and Jeff Timmons and O-Town's Ashley Parker Angel and Erik-Michael Estrada. The docuseries premieres Monday, April 13 and concludes April 14 (9 ET/PT).

In a clip from the premiere, exclusive to USA TODAY, Fatone, 49, says he was the first to learn Bass' secret, before bandmates Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez.

"We go out one night," Fatone says. "We all go back to Lance's house. I pass out in one of his guest bedrooms. I wake up at, like, 3:00 in the morning. I'm like, 'Ah, I got to leave.' I go to his bedroom, open up the door. There's nobody in there."

Fatone then went to check Bass' office. "And I open the door," Fatone says, "and he's sitting there, and there's a guy straddling (him) on top of him."

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone has a new docuseries that will transport viewers back to the time when the crooners with choreographed dance moves who served as "Tiger Beat" centerfolds were "Larger Than Life."

"Boy Band Confidential" will air on Investigation Discovery (ID) over two nights, Monday, April 13 (9 ET/PT), and Tuesday, April 14. Fatone, an executive producer, is one of many musicians recalling the highs and lows of a storied career, giving viewers a taste of what life was like behind the scenes and beyond fans' screams.

Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman of the Grammy-winning group Boyz II Men remember the fatal shooting of their tour manager Roderick "Khalil" Rountree in 1992; Alexander James McLean, known to Backstreet Boys fans as AJ, discusses his recovery from addiction; and Nick Lachey remembers the early days when 98 Degrees just started to simmer. Jason Galasso, an original member of *NSYNC, later replaced by Lance Bass, sits down to share why he left the band.

"Anytime that I've talked to any of the other guys from other groups, we've always had some sort of camaraderie and something in common," Fatone, 49, tells USA TODAY. "Lou Pearlman, of course, was a big common denominator, but it had nothing to do with anything about Lou. It was more or less the trials and tribulations of the pressure of being in a boy band."

*NSYNC's lineup almost looked very different.

As the group originally came together, it was Jason Galasso, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. But when it came time for *NSYNC to take the next step, Galasso couldn't commit.

"The five of us got together. We sang and everything was great. We're going to sign to Transcontinental, which was Lou Pearlman's independent record label, and all of a sudden, we go to sign and Jason doesn't show up," Fatone recalls in the documentary.

Speaking to PEOPLE about the documentary, Fatone discussed reconnecting with Galasso so that he could share his story.

"I've known Jason from high school. His dad was my chorus director. And when we met, we were in high school together. We were an acapella group. But when that happened, we didn't talk for a while. We reconnected many years later, just briefly, because his dad was retiring. So that's when I saw him again," Fatone explained.

Joey Fatone is getting vulnerable.

In ID's new docuseries, Boy Band Confidential: A Hollywood Demons Event, the *NSYNC star talks about figuring out his future after realizing the band would be on an indefinite hiatus.

"There was never a conversation, per se. There was never a good bye. There was never anything," he details in the documentary.

As the members navigated what their futures would look like, Fatone faced parting with the home he was proud to buy and moving in with his parents after learning its maintenance would leave him bankrupt in a matter of time.

"Talking about possibly going bankrupt myself and going down that path, when you had millions of dollars... to almost have nothing, it's like, what do you do? Do you go off the deep end, like some people have, and go to addiction to try to get your body numb and not think about it? Or do you get the positive attitude and go, 'You know what? I can do it,' " Fatone shares with PEOPLE.

They're saying bye bye bye.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone reveals the boy band - which includes Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick - had a conversation about reuniting, but ultimately decided against it.

"Probably not, flat out," he exclusively told Page Six of the group getting back together. "Literally we just said, 'Hey, do we see anything happening in a couple of years of *NSYNC?' And that was a no."

He said that when the members of *NSYNC talked as a group, they discussed a reunion but the conversation didn't progress to discussing logistics, or "actually having a performance of any kind."

When *NSYNC came calling, Lance Bass wanted to take the offer -- no strings attached -- but his mom had other ideas.

The singer tells the story in the new Joey Fatone-produced documentary "Boy Band Confidential" ... explaining he got a call out of the blue to audition for the group when he was 16 and living in small-town Mississippi.

While clearly the opportunity of a lifetime, Bass says his mom seemed skeptical ... and told manager Lou Pearlman, Justin Timberlake, and Justin's mom Lynn, they may need a new band member -- but it wasn't gonna be her son.

That could've been the end of the story ... but, thankfully, his mom got another call -- and she agreed to take Lance to Orlando, Florida to audition.

There has been no shortage of documentaries about the '90s boy band boom in recent years. The latest is ID's docuseries Boy Band Confidential, hailing from executive producer and *NSYNC member Joey Fatone. It may not be the first boy band doc, but it's a project the singer has long wanted to do.

"You start to see all these documentaries, I've seen them, I've done them - VH1 Driven. You did all these things and you go, 'Why is everybody else doing this?'" Fatone tells Entertainment Weekly. "And sometimes they like to change the storyline or that's not the way I said it, or that's not the way I did it. So literally that's what it was. It was, 'You know what? Let's tell our story and let these other guys tell their own story.'"

The two-part series, airing on April 13 and 14, explores the turn-of-the-millennium phenomenon and the ugly side of superstardom, from the pressure to remain picture-perfect and unspoken inner demons to alleged abuse and exploitation. Those interviewed include Fatone's bandmate Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, 98 Degrees' Nick Lachey and Jeff Timmons, O-Town's Erik-Michael Estrada and former member Ashley Parker Angel, LFO's Brad Fischetti, and Boyz II Men's Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman. Oh, and OG *NSYNC member Jason Galasso, who quit and was replaced by Bass.

Joey Fatone got brutally honest about the moment Justin Timberlake's decision to leave *NSYNC for a solo career frustrated him.

"We just did a stadium run, and then we did an arena tour. Then Lance [Bass] had the opportunity to train as an astronaut and go into space," Fatone, 49, recalled in the Boy Band Confidential docuseries on Investigation Discovery, which premieres April 13 and 14. "Then Justin was like, 'Hey, I want to do my own solo stuff.'"

Fatone was initially supportive of Timberlake's request, adding, "At first, my brain's like, 'Cool, do it and have fun.' That will give us time to take a break, if you guys want to do it. Why not try things?"

While it largely didn't bother Fatone, he recalled the "only" time it "ever felt awkward" to him.

"When Justin [performed at] the MTV [Video Music] Awards [in 2002] - and he performed for the first time - and we introduced him," Fatone said. "This is some bulls***. You are basically just pushing us aside a little bit to do this. But yet, you still want us around to introduce him."

Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are taking the ultimate spring break vacation together!

The *NSYNC bandmates recently jetted off to Sandals Royal Curaçao for a relaxing getaway accompanied by their respective partners: Bass's husband, Michael Turchin, and Fatone's girlfriend, Izabel Araujo. PEOPLE got an exclusive look inside their Caribbean escape, which Bass says was the perfect place to relax and spend time all together.

"We leaned fully into vacation mode," Bass, 46, tells PEOPLE of their trip, noting that he and Fatone, 49, haven't spent spring break together in a "long time."

"Last time we celebrated spring break together, there was a foam party involved," he recalls. "Times have changed!"

Justin Timberlake may be headed to the Las Vegas Strip. Just days after newly released body camera footage from his 2024 DUI arrest reignited headlines, the singer is reportedly in discussions with MGM and Live Nation for a Las Vegas residency beginning in 2028.

According to NewsNation, the ex-boy bander is being considered for a run at Dolby Live at Park MGM, the 5,200-seat venue that has previously hosted major names including Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and Usher. The venue has become one of the Strip's top rooms for established artists looking to package their biggest hits into a more compact live experience.

Madonna, Gracie Abrams, John Legend and dozens more stars are calling for the immediate closure of an ICE Detention Center in Dilley, Texas, banding together to sign an open letter posted Monday (March 30) on Change.com.

Pop music superstar Joey Fatone is joining the North American Tour company of & Juliet, reprising the role of 'Lance' following his recent Broadway run. Fatone will join the touring cast for an engagement when the show plays The Bushnell in Hartford.

The national tour of & Juliet will begin performances on Tuesday, May 5, at The Bushnell. Fatone will join the production for seven shows from Wednesday, May 6, through 10, 2026.

The Broadway bow of Titanique - which starts March 26 at the St. James Theatre - has added some major star power to its producing team, including Las Culturistas podcasters Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, and *NSYNC members Joey Fatone and JC Chasez.

"We're beyond excited to welcome this smart, outrageous, and completely unsinkable group of pop culture royalty aboard Titanique," says lead producer Eva Price in a statement. "As longtime supporters of the show, it means so much to have them now officially join us in this new capacity and help keep the ship sailing full speed ahead. Titanique is all about big laughs, big talent, and even bigger heart, and this group embodies all of that and more."

The musical is set to officially open April 12. Blue is directing.

The musical, a campy send-up of the blockbuster 1997 film Titanic set to the songs of Celine Dion, comes to the Main Stem after becoming a cult favorite Off-Broadway. The work features a book by Mindelle, Rousouli, and Blue, and music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Nicholas James Connell.

Police bodycam footage showing Justin Timberlake's 2024 drink-driving arrest in New York has been released.

The pop star had previously sued the Village of Sag Harbor to prevent the release of the video, but ultimately reached a settlement allowing for its release on Friday.

Timberlake was arrested in June 2024 on a driving while intoxicated charge after police pulled him over for driving through a stop sign and veering onto the wrong side of the road. He ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.

The partially redacted footage shows Timberlake stumbling during police sobriety tests and trying to explain that he's on a world tour.

At the time of his arrest, the 45-year-old singer and former *NSYNC frontman was driving in Sag Harbor, an affluent village in the Hamptons and popular summer destination for celebrities on New York's Long Island.

More than eight hours of footage was released, showing video from the traffic stop as well as inside the police station following Timberlake's arrest.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone is serving as executive producer on an upcoming documentary series that will chronicle the dark side of the boy band boom of the 1990s, ID announced on Tuesday.

Boy Band Confidential is set to premiere on April 13 and 14, and it will feature interviews from the likes of *NSYNC's Lance Bass, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, and Boyz II Men's Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, among others.

"Being in a boy band was one of the greatest experiences of my life - but it also came with challenges we didn't always understand at the time," Fatone said in a statement of the upcoming series. "This project gave all of us a chance to reflect, to be honest and to share what really happened behind the spotlight."

Watch the trailer for Boy Band Confidential [here].

It was the year 2000, and one of the hottest boy bands in the world, *NSYNC, just released their third studio album.

Fans everywhere were running to the record store (or wherever CDs were sold) to get their hands on it, though plenty of others turned to the rising wave of peer-to-peer file-sharing platforms like Napster or LimeWire to get their music fix.

Still, that didn't stop No Strings Attached from achieving massive success as one of the biggest album debuts in music history.

On March 21, 2000, the album introduced the fandom to songs that would go on to define an era, including chart-toppers "Bye Bye Bye" and the song that inspired a now-viral meme, "It's Gonna Be Me."

While the album was released at the height of NSYNC's fame, it marked a creative evolution for the band-diversifying their sound by incorporating more distinct pop and R&B influence, all while capitalizing on the Y2K aesthetic and bringing the world into the digital age.

The era of space-age optimism and millennium futurism was evident as the band crossed genres with groundbreaking songs like "Space Cowboy" and "Digital Getdown."

While Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick were already household names by the 00s, the album was a roaring success, with music critics and fans praising the production that redefined the pop music genre.

But it was the chart performance that really brought the noise, as the album debuted in the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, staying there for eight consecutive weeks and becoming one of the longest-running number-one albums of the year on the chart.

In its first week, it sold 2.4 million copies, setting a record for one-week sales in the country.

And *NSYNC held that record for 15 years!

While some cruise and river cruise lines offer special themed sailings for the whole ship to enjoy, World2Sea Travel, a Cruise Planners franchise, and W2S Events (a new company supporting the event side of the business) are curating and hosting their own themed onboard events to bring together clients with a shared passion.

First up will be The Boy Band Cruise, sailing Nov. 13-16 onboard Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Reflection out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Featured performers for the sailing include Chris Kirkpatrick (from *NSYNC), O-Town, LFO, BBMak, Ryan Cabrera and DJ Tommy Carlucci. Special activities will include daily live performances and guest appearances, lip-sync battles, themed dance parties, karaoke, boy-band bingo, a boy-band dance class and more.

The holidays are coming early for Lance Bass!

PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the cover of the singer and author's upcoming picture book The Legend of Mrs. Claws, due out this fall from Hachette Book Group imprint Union Square Kids.

Featuring illustrations by Anemone Durhin, the book centers on Mrs. Claws, a cat who lives on Scary Street - the same setting of Bass' 2024 debut Trick or Treat on Scary Street.

Though Mrs. Claws tries with all her might to be scary, she just keeps falling short. But when she hops aboard Santa's sleigh one cold evening, the feline finds she's in for a surprising night.

The Legend of Mrs. Claws will be published on Sept. 29 and is now available for preorder, wherever books are sold.

Dua Lipa, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz and Adam Lambert were among the many stars who stepped out for Elton John's annual Oscars night celebration!

Celebrities gathered for the 34th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday (March 15) at West Hollywood Park in West Hollywood, Calif.

Elton hosted the event alongside husband David Furnish, Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka as the star-studded benefit raised an impressive $10.6 million in support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation's work to help end AIDS.

Lance Bass is deep in dad mode - and couldn't be happier, as he's convinced waiting to have kids was one of the smartest choices he ever made.

The former *NSYNC star, 46, opens up about raising his and husband Michael Turchin's 4-year-old twins, daughter Violet and son Alexander, during an exclusive chat with OK! while discussing all things fatherhood, marriage and his partnership with Hay Day.

"I think everything's about balance, you know, it's the yin and yang. I've always lived by that," Bass shares. "When you become parents, sometimes you just kind of let everything disappear, and you just focus on just raising your kids. And I'm so glad we started a little later in life to have kids."

Looking back at friends who became parents in their early 20s, Bass doesn't sugarcoat how intimidating that always seemed.

"If I had kids like my friends from high school, you know, 22 years old, having their first kids, it was scary as h---," he admits. "You didn't know what was happening. Now that I've seen a lot of my friends go through it, I was way less scared of having kids and I think I was prepared way more to give a more balanced life."

Justin Timberlake's legal team bought some time in his suit against Sag Harbor Village Police Department to block the release of body camera footage from his 2024 DWI arrest.

Suffolk County Judge Joseph Farneti approved a temporary restraining order on Thursday to prevent the release of the footage, according to court records reviewed by Variety and first reported by Newsday. Long Island's Sag Harbor will have until April 9 to submit documentation to show cause for its efforts.

On Monday, Timberlake filed suit against Sag Harbor Village Police Department, along with Chief of Police Robert Drake and the Village of Sag Harbor. His attorneys argued that the release of the footage would cause "severe and irreparable harm" to his reputation, as well as "subject [him] to public ridicule and harassment" and "serve no legitimate public interest in understanding the operations of government." They also claimed that it would "constitute an unwarranted invasion" of his personal privacy.

Timberlake's attorney and Sag Harbor's Chief of Police did not immediately respond to Variety's request for comment.

Team Knicks headed into the Kia Shooting Stars Challenge on Saturday as the favorite, and it didn't disappoint.

Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Allan Houston and their celebrity passer, Knicks assistant and Jalen's dad Rick Brunson, took down three other teams at Intuit Dome to bring some new hardware home to New York during All-Star Weekend in Inglewood.

Several celebrities were featured during breaks in the action, including Spike Lee and *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, who signed mini basketballs and gave them to fans in the stands.

Hollywood is mourning the loss of Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek.

The actor's wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, announced Wednesday that the actor died amid his battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48.

In a statement shared on Van Der Beek's Instagram, Kimberly confirmed his death, writing, "Our beloved James David Van Der Beek passed peacefully this morning. He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace. There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend."

The father of six kids, Van Der Beek announced in November 2024 that he had "been privately dealing" with the cancer diagnosis since August 2023. The cancer was in Stage 3.

Following news of his death, a myriad of stars paid tribute to the actor.

Lance Bass wrote, "We are sending your beautiful family so much love. Safe travels James. You made this world a better place."

As with all other millennial women, *NSYNC played a crucial role in keeping me entertained in the 2000s. I wore out my copy of "No Strings Attached" so badly that I had to buy a second CD just to keep the jams flowing. While I traveled rarely as a rambunctious 11-year-old, the members of *NSYNC - including Lance Bass - were constantly flying or driving from one location to the next.

"I grew up on a tour bus," Lance told USA TODAY 10BEST. "The best sleep I ever get is on a bus."

These days, Lance isn't driving from city to city to tour, but he's still flying constantly.

"For work, I'm always on the road and always on a plane," he said. "I'm one of those weird people that the longer the flight, the better for me. If it's a three-hour flight, it kind of ruins my day because it's not long enough to sleep. It's not long enough to do anything, really."

So how does a superstar keep himself busy during eight-hour-plus travel days without losing his mind? We asked. Here are the five ways Lance Bass keeps himself entertained while traveling around the globe.

"Bar Rescue" is back at Paramount Network with its milestone 10th season, premiering this February, TheWrap can reveal exclusively.

Hosted by hospitality expert Jon Taffer, the reality series is the cable network's longest-running unscripted program. Taffer will dish out more of his signature tough love to a new group of struggling bar owners and restauranteurs.

The new season will premiere with two back-to-back episodes on Sunday, Feb. 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network.

In Season 10 Taffer will travel across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky to help revive ailing establishments. For the milestone season, special guests Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and pro wrestler and actress Mercedes Varnado will join the host and give advice along the way.

As professional football's biggest weekend approaches, Topco's Food Club has again brought together members of two popular boy bands to compete for the title of Best Big Game Dip.

Lance Bass of *NSYNC and A.J. McLean of Backstreet Boys hit the kitchen to make their favorite game day dips. Bass whipped up his Fired-Up Cheesy Dip while McLean shared his Mediterranean Whipped Feta Dip. Each offering features Food Club Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes or Food Club Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies.

Officiating the competition was *NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick.

Fans are able to participate by voting for their favorite dip via social media, with the winning chef receiving a truckload of Food Club nonperishable food donated to Second Harvest of the Greater Valley, a local Feeding America partner food bank, in their name.

Retailers who carry Food Club branded products have found this boy band promotion to be a unique way to connect with their shoppers.

As Justin Timberlake celebrated his 45th birthday on January 31, his wife Jessica Biel had some sweet words to say about him.

Writing on Instagram on Saturday alongside a photo of herself and Timberlake in hats and sunglasses on the beach, Biel wrote, "Happy 45th to a true original. I love you baby."

Justin Timberlake spent more than a year on a tour that ended in 2024, which would already be grueling if he hadn't been battling Lyme disease throughout the trek - but on Thursday (Jan. 29), he proved that he'd do anything for Pharrell Williams by taking the stage once again at the Recording Academy Honors Black Music Collective event in Los Angeles.

To pay tribute to the generation-defining producer, the *NSYNC alum brought the energy while singing and dancing through hits such as "Senorita," "Rock Your Body" "Like I Love You," all of which Timberlake worked on with Williams. He also sang some of his frequent collaborator's solo hits.

Williams was honored Thursday night for his contributions to culture. During his speech, he shouted out Timberlake, saying, "You reminded this community of how you love us so much and what we mean to you."

The former boy band artist hasn't performed publicly since the end of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which ended in July after more than a year after kicking off in April 2024. One day after his final show in Instanbul, Timberlake announced that he'd been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

The NBA is leaning hard into nostalgia for NBA All-Star Weekend 2026, and Joey Fatone is right at the center of it.

After celebrating his 49th birthday on Wednesday, the *NSYNC member has been announced as one of the featured performers for the NBA's Courtside Concert programming during NBA Crossover in Los Angeles.

Fatone, performing under the banner Joey Fatone and Friends, will take the Hardwood Central stage between Feb. 12 and 15, adding a familiar '90s pop sound to one of the league's biggest fan events of the year.

Those looking for a good excuse to get out of the house this summer can expect a good time at Busch Gardens.

The fun starts on May 2, when Flo Rida is expected to start off the amusement park's summer.

Then, the Pop 2000 Tour comes on May 16. It's a concert full of nostalgia and fun.

Hosted by Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, the lineup includes O-Town, Ryan Cabrera, and LFO.

Many celebrity golf fans make enough money in their career to invest in a golf course.

Michael Jordan is probably the best example. He designed The Grove XIII in Florida to perfectly suit his golf game.

Another avid golf fan, Justin Timberlake, once decided to take the same plunge. In 2007 he learned that the Big Creek Golf Course in Millington, the course where he hit his first golf ball as a child, was slated for auction.

He and his family stepped in to buy the course before undergoing a multi-million-dollar transformation that made it the first of its kind in the US.

What sets this course apart isn't the celebrity name that owns it, but its unprecedented environmental pedigree.

Reopened as Mirimichi, meaning a "place of happy retreat" in Cherokee, the course became the first golf course in the United States to receive the Audubon International Classic Sanctuary certification. This recognized the course's dedication to environmental stewardship and conservation.

It was also the first course in the Americas to be certified by the Golf Environment Organization. Achieving this required a radical overhaul of traditional golf course management. Timberlake reportedly invested $16 million to turn the property into an ecologically friendly golf course.

Mirimichi utilized cutting-edge biofiltration systems and native grasslands, and by replacing nearly 100 acres of traditional turf with native plants and wildflower meadows, the course drastically reduced its need for fossil fuels and water.

The Northwest Arkansas Comic Con was canceled a year ago because of bad weather, but it returned to rousing success this past weekend.

Officials with VXV Events of Jackson, Mississippi, said two-day weekend tickets were sold out, and attendance, while not officially confirmed, was expected to be as high as 7,500 for each day at the Rogers Convention Center. Fans were able to meet and get autographs and photographs with celebrities, as well as buy merchandise from a plethora of third-party vendors.

There were also long lines for other voiceover performers, as well as actor Khary Payton, who is known for his role on "The Walking Dead." Much of the crowd was younger and in costume - each convention has a cosplay competition - but there were also celebrities with older fans.

"We are having a great time, getting a chance to see fans," said singer and actor Joey Fatone, most famous as a member of the mega boy band *NSYNC. "Some people may not even know who the hell I am. ... Their moms know who I am. Sometimes their grandmas know who I am."

SeaWorld returns in 2026 with an expanded, coast-to-coast live music series, building on its established concert programming across U.S. parks and placing live entertainment at the center of the SeaWorld guest experience throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Launching in early 2026 in conjunction with Seven Seas Food Festival and continuing through the summer at select parks, the 2026 series blends nostalgia-driven favorites with contemporary performers, offering guests multiple opportunities to enjoy full-length live concerts throughout the season. The national lineup includes acts such as Flo Rida, Boyz II Men, The Beach Boys, Fitz and the Tantrums, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, Gene Simmons, Ying Yang Twins, Uncle Kracker, and the Pop 2000 Tour featuring Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, O-Town, Ryan Cabrera, and LFO, appearing at SeaWorld parks in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio.

It's almost time to let the good times roll at Universal Orlando Resort!

This year, Mardi Gras is back in a big way. From Feb. 7 to April 4, guests are invited to experience Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval. The event, which pays homage to the larger-than-life celebration in New Orleans, will feature 11 live performances from some of the biggest names in music today.

This year's concert series lineup, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal, includes a performance by *NSYNC member Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean on Feb. 21, as well as DJ sets by Kaskade, RuPaul and Grammy-winner Zedd.

The 'Bye Bye Bye' singer Lance Bass has taken to social media to share that he has partnered with Supercell's Hay Day, in what he describes to be a "literal dream come true."

This comes as the devs focus on encouraging farmers to grow together, with a neighbor-focused event kicked off by the Hay Day lover Lance Bass.

The singer and actor is described as being a long time player, with his farm being at level 157. He's an active member of the Lancelot Farms Neighborhood and he explains in an Instagram post how he has "been deep" in the game for years.

Pop icon Joey Fatone received a 20-second ovation upon his first entrance as part of the cast of the North American tour of & JULIET, Joey is reprising the role of Lance following his recent Broadway run. Watch the video of his first entrance here!

Fatone joins the touring company for a limited hometown engagement while the production plays the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando from January 6-11, 2026.

Jessica Biel is not afraid to let loose for her man.

At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, Jan. 4, the actress, 43, praised her husband Justin Timberlake when she was put on the spot for her enthusiastic dancing in the audience during his recent world tour.

"I feel like I'm up there with his No. 1 fans," Biel told E!'s Justin Sylvester on the red carpet of her husband, 44, who she said is "so amazing live."

"There's just no one like him - who can perform like him, who sings like him. He just brings so much joy," she said.

Biel, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for her role in The Better Sister, admitted that she's not worried about how she looks when she's in the crowd supporting her husband.

"I don't care if I look like a crazy person," she said. "I'm gonna dance my butt off for two and a half hours."

"I love his music, and I don't care - I'm just gonna say it - I adore him, and I love him as an artist and a performer," Biel continued.

Lance Bass is feeling nostalgic about two underrated *NSYNC songs.

While speaking with PEOPLE in an exclusive conversation about his Bath & Body Works partnership, the 46-year-old former boy band member also highlighted *NSYNC tracks that don't get enough love.

One song that Bass said was "overlooked" is "It Makes Me Ill," which is track 5 on the band's No Strings Attached album from 2000.

"That was my favorite from No Strings Attached," Bass explained. "I definitely fought for that to be a single, but we had other songs. We had some bangers from that album, so it was hard to pick a single."

Lance Bass is reminiscing about the '90s.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the *NSYNC star, 46, reflected on the colorful decade and the trends he's down to revisit - or leave firmly in the past. Bass shared that, looking back on the '90s more than 25 years later, he has a new perspective, at least when it comes to the style of that time.

"It's so funny, because living in the '90s, I always thought the fashion was horrible. I just remember [thinking], 'Really? This is what we're doing?' Even then, I was like, 'This does not feel good,' " he said.

"Everything was so oversized and all that, but now it's so funny that that style is back, and I actually appreciate it more now," he continued. "I'm like, 'Okay, maybe that was kinda cool.' Yeah, I've learned to appreciate the '90s fashion, especially now, so I'm glad that's back."

Lance Bass has his '90s girlfriend to thank for introducing him to Bath & Body Works.

The *NSYNC member, 46, who is partnering with Bath & Body Works for their Semi-Annual Sale, which kicks off on Friday, Dec. 26, spoke with PEOPLE about the items he'll be stocking up on, his favorite scents and the smell that will forever remind him of his '90s girlfriend.

The highly anticipated sale is full of can't-miss deals, including select candles retailing from $7.99 to $12.99, 75% off select bodycare items, $3.50 for select wallflowers (a particular favorite in Bass' household) and half off select soaps and sanitizers.

"This is the best sale of the year," Bass tells PEOPLE. "This is the time you stock up for your whole year. I mean, I literally have a cabinet full of all of my favorite things, from the moisturizers to the fragrances to the candles, of course. The plug-ins are big at our house ... I definitely stock up on all the candles. Lots of hand sanitizer."

For Bass, collabing with Bath & Body Works was a no-brainer, considering he's loved the brand since his boy band days.

"Since the '90s, I've loved ... this is how old I am, I would always get my girlfriend the pear-smelling, the fragrance sprays and all that," he says. "That always reminds me of my girlfriend in the '90s. That always holds a special memory for me."

From matching pajamas to dance parties, here's a look at how your favorite stars are spending the Christmas holiday.

*NSYNC singer Lance Bass posed for formal Christmas photos with his husband Michael Turchin and their 4-year-old twins, Alexander and Violet.

Ex-*NSYNC member Lance Bass and his family enjoyed the Christmas period by going to Disneyland, which was like a fairy tale again for him. Although he was alone in one way, missing his husband Michael Turchin, who was sick at home, the singer nevertheless shared a series of cheerful pictures from the trip. His Instagram post serves as proof of the family tradition that has lasted for years and the unique atmosphere of the resort during the Christmas season.

For Bass, the amusement park is a yearly Christmas landmark. The photos he has posted full of the twins in their Christmas costumes and typical park scenes, narrate a story of a personal tradition that he has made to go to Disneyland every December. "We somehow end up here every time!" remarked Bass, complementing that Disney had created the enchanting holiday magic. The visual storytelling was nothing short of joy, from meeting Pluto to the classic rides.

More than anything else, the absence of Michael Turchin seemed to influence Bass's celebration the most. Bass was quick to mention his "sick in bed (again)" husband, giving him an "honorable mention." In a humorous and tender way, Bass remarked, "I am starting to think he is trying to avoid us." This gentle teasing aimed at the artist's habitual non-availability during family trips was a point of identification for many and became the central element of the story. Michael Turchin is often the subject of such family fun.

Lisa Vanderpump says her "Vanderpump Rules" reboot on Bravo is a hit - and she has a novel way of knowing when a season really pops.

Though the show hit No. 1 on Peacock, reports say it could be cut by Bravo.

"Screw the naysayers!" the reality TV queen told Page Six at her Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala in Beverly Hills. "I'm very excited about the new cast. Hopefully this time next year they'll be a pain in my ass, because that's when you know the show's a success!"

Guests at the glam gala emceed by Mario Lopez included Lance Bass, Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl and former "SNL" star Jon Lovitz, who's also Vanderpump's neighbor.

In the early aughts, Ryan Cabrera was seemingly inescapable. From being one of the earliest reality TV stars on The Ashlee Simpson Show to the indelible impact of his 2004 debut album Take It All Away to his signature voluminous hair, the Dallas-born singer-songwriter was everywhere.

But it was really his debut single "On the Way Down" that became the initial catalyst for his success. The anthemic pop-rock track, featuring lyrics about finding someone or something that makes you a better version of yourself, peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's US Adult Pop Airplay chart and No. 4 on the publication's Pop Airplay chart.

In honor of the song's 20th anniversary, Cabrera, now 43, revisited the song - this time with a few pop legends, including *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, Taylor Hanson, Walk the Moon's Nicholas Petricca and Drake Bell to put a new twist on it. "[It's] just all friends [I've made] along the way, [and] I'm a fan at the same time of all of my friends as well," he says.

PEOPLE: Who was the most challenging person to secure for the new version?

CABRERA:< Getting Joey Fatone to commit and do anything is damn near impossible. He was the last piece of the puzzle, but he was one of the first ones I asked. He's like, "Yeah, yeah, of course." When I asked him, he's like, "Yeah, absolutely, bro, whatever, let's do it." Finally, after I got everyone else's vocals, I'm like, "Joey, the song's done. Let's go. I want you to be a part of this." Because we do so much stuff together. We're friends first of all, but then also we'll do private events together. We've done corporate events together. We've done a lot of things together, but getting him to actually get to the microphone and lay down some vocals, it was a feat all in and of itself.

Lance Bass took Disney Parks on a tour of his "crib" - the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line's newest ship.

The *NSYNC singer said of the wallpaper, "So I really wanted to go a little understated with my look of my crib. So I went with these really nice dark colors with eyeballs."

Other features Bass pointed out were the "family portraits," the clock stuck at 13:00, the fish tank, and haunted instruments. He was sailing with his husband Michael Turchin and his mom.

"One thing I love about this place is," Bass said, pointing at cobwebs on a chandelier, "there's really no need to dust. It just kind of goes with the whole effect of the place."

He noted the large mirror behind the bar, which shows ghostly forms, also lets you know if someone is about to stab you in the back.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway lit up its Christmas Tree Sunday, with the help of pop star Lance Bass and News Channel 3's Chief Meteorologist Patrick Evans.

The Tram's landmark 45-foot tree is comprised of over 4,000 LED lights, which can be seen throughout the Coachella Valley.

Bass, one-fifth of the renowned vocal group *NSYNC, served as the celebrity tree lighter at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway's Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Chad Spodick, who previously appeared on the LGBTQ dating series Finding Prince Charming, has died. He was 42.

The aviation entrepreneur's death was announced this week in a GoFundMe that was set up to help cover his funeral costs, as well as care for his mother and his pets. A cause of death was not announced.

Finding Prince Charming host Lance Bass paid tribute to Spodick on his Instagram Story. "I am truly heartbroken about the sudden passing of our friend, Chad," he started.

"He was such a kind sweet soul who loved his friends, his family and his beloved pets so deeply, and I hope that's how everyone else remembers him," added Bass. " Life should never be taken for granted so remember to be kind and check in on those you love because you never know what people are dealing with privately and tomorrow is never promised. Fly high my friend."

In 2016, Spodick appeared on Logo's Finding Prince Charming, a Bachelor-esque show in which 13 gay men vied for the heart of interior designer Robert Sepúlveda Jr. Spodick quit the show in Week 6.

The legendary *NSYNC member Lance Bass, has without a doubt, revived one of the most iconic hairstyles of the late 90s era. In the footage, Bass is noticed flaunting his recently hair with white tips and he terms it "game time" and "his break is over." The post revokes the memories for the followers, as for many of them it is like taking a trip back to the time when boy bands were at their peak and in their full splendor.

The singer and entertainer portrayed a video of sorts revealing the barely frosted ends of his hair and the clip creates an aura of his group's golden era. The singer at the same time, says in the background that "I took a couple, you know, I took some time off to rest and now it's game time bitches." The post that accompanied it, got into the throwback mood to the fullest: "Get me a Walkman and some cargos and it's like 1997 all over again."
