When he's not singing "Bye Bye Bye," *NSYNC member Lance Bass can be found doing one of two things: getting ready for Halloween and hanging out with his kids. And now the 8-time Grammy nominee has decided to combine the two in a heartwarming Halloween children's book, Trick or Treat on Scary Street.

And in this revealing interview the singer opens up about what led him to finally write it, what his kids think about it and yes, he talked about his time in *NSYNC. All that and more are below!

Deadpool & Wolverine hits digital on Oct. 1, and if you've seen it, you know *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" plays during the opening sequence. Lance Bass says when the movie's star, Ryan Reynolds, told him how the song would be used, he was thrilled.

"We signed off on the song months before, so we knew it was in the movie, but usually they play 10 seconds of it," Lance tells ABC Audio. "When he told me he's playing the entirety of the song and it's the opening credits, I could not wait."

It was Deadpool, plus the song *NSYNC did for Trolls Band Together, that led them to consider a reunion.

"It's just really reignited everything for us ... now our fans are Gen Zers, you know, they're like, 'Oh, you're the Deadpool singers,'" Lance laughs. "But it's inspired us to really decide what can we do going forward."

Due to busy schedules "it's going to be a little while, but we have lots of ideas. We just have to figure out exactly what that looks like," he says. And if it happens, "I just can't wait for my kids to ... see me on stage with my best friends."

Meanwhile, Lance just released his first children's book, the Halloween-themed Trick or Treat on Scary Street.

"I've always wanted to write children's books," he says. "But it wasn't until my kids were born that I was like, 'OK, now's the time to do this.'"

And depending on their "scare level," as Lance puts it, the book will delight kids, terrify kids, or both.

Lance Bass is still in sync with Us as he tries to make good choices when it comes to diet and exercise.

"I try to be healthy, and I have it all even in my schedule," the *NSYNC singer, 45, exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly. "Every morning I schedule my calendar from 9 to 10 in the morning. It says 'healthy time,' I probably hit that maybe 5 percent of the time."

Bass jokes that he sometimes amazes himself just by getting "on the treadmill." However, he admits sometimes "it's so hard" to be motivated, especially when he's a father of two. The singer shares twins Alexander and Violet, 2, with husband Michael Turchin.

One thing Bass doesn't avoid is using a good resource like Kelly Blue Book. So when the chance for Bass to team up with the brand to help people say "bye bye bye" to something special, like an old car, came along - he couldn't resist.

Lance Bass has revealed that he's mulling the idea of having welcoming another baby into his family, as his twins rapidly approach their third birthday.

The *NSYNC star, 45, and his husband Michael Turchin announced the arrival of their twins, Violet Betty and Alexander James, in October 2021, following their birth via surrogate. And with just over three weeks to go until the tots celebrate another birthday, Bass is thinking about expanding his family.

"I am definitely getting baby fever again," the singer, actor, and producer told Newsweek on Thursday. "The kids are so much fun right now. They're almost 3, and they feel like they're going on 13. They're very vocal about what they like and what they don't like, and they're starting to talk back. I'm like, 'Uh-oh!'

"So, you know, I am missing that little nugget that you just hold that can't really talk back to you. And, you know, just trying to talk my husband into at least having one more. But we have, we have a lot of life hitting the next year, so we'll see if we can have that conversation and convince him."

Don't expect to see Lance Bass' name on the list of celebrities who've attended one of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' parties. The former *NSYNC singer and solo star told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday night (Sept. 25) that after hearing something the disgraced Bad Boy mogul said when Diddy opened for *NSYNC on the group's final tour in 2002 he had no interest in spending time with Combs.

"I never had time to go to a Diddy party," said Bass, who added that he'd totally forgotten that Diddy had warmed up the stage for *NSYNC until the rapper/producer was arrested in New York on Sept. 16 and accused by prosecutors of operating a criminal enterprise centered on his "pervasive pattern of abuse toward women." Diddy was been denied bail twice while awaiting trial on the three felony charges of sex trafficking and racketeering that could land him a life sentence.

"It's kinda horrible, but never kinda liked him because the very last show in Orlando I overheard him talking to Justin [Timberlake] being like, 'You need to drop these… effers! You need to go solo! And I was like, 'I don't like you anymore Diddy.' I'm like, 'at my own show? What the hell?'" said Bass.

Lance Bass, best known for his time with the iconic boy band "*NSYNC," is embracing his love for Halloween with the release of his new children's book, "Trick or Treat on Scary Street." During an interview on "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday, Bass said the book is designed for young readers and strikes the perfect balance between spooky and fun.

His love for Halloween goes back to his childhood, a tradition passed down from his father and grandfather.

"I was always raised with, you know, just the frightening Halloween, which is what I'm doing with my kids right now. So they're very desensitized to the scary stuff," Bass said.

He recalled growing up in Mississippi, where trick-or-treating lasted for hours, and noted how different things are in Los Angeles.

"We take kids to different neighborhoods where there are thousands of kids, and they give full-size candy bars," he said. "Now there's a whole donation thing, so you get to pick a certain amount of candy, and then the rest goes to the children's hospital."

As for his Halloween plans, Bass, who has twins who will be 3 in October, admitted he goes all out with his family.

He said he has read the book every night "about six times."

When asked how writing a children's book compares to writing music, Bass noted that both involve telling a story.

"You know, you have the story in your head, you just have to make it sound good," he said, despite industry trends moving away from rhyming in children's literature.

Bass also didn't shy away from the topic of an *NSYNC reunion.

It's been over 20 years since *NSYNC released their last album and went on tour, but throughout the years, fans have been eagerly awaiting the time the group reunited for a new project. That time may finally be coming soon.

While at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One, Lance Bass shared some exciting news with Entertainment Tonight about the potential for an *NSYNC reunion sometime soon, once again bringing together himself, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone. The group has previously come together for a song on the Trolls Band Together soundtrack as well as a track on Timberlake's latest album Everything I Thought It Was.

After ET asked about a possible residency in Las Vegas, similar to what fellow boyband New Kids On The Block recently announced, Bass quipped that it would "take a little while" but said it would be a fun way to come back. However, he did tease that he's "finally" allowed to talk about something big in regards to a reunion, stating that "conversations are being had."

"I think we have bigger plans that we're thinking of, so stay tuned," he said, adding, "If we're gonna do something, we gotta do something something. We're actually talking guys! We're doing it!"

Lance Bass treated fans to quite the '90s nostalgia moment after he ran into some Full House alums.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, the *NSYNC alum, 45, shared a hilarious skit on his Instagram page which featured appearances from fellow '90s kids Jodie Sweetin, who starred as Stephanie Tanner in Full House, and Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler, the best friend of D.J. Tanner.

"When the roadtrip pit stop turns into a 90s sitcom crossover episode," Bass wrote over the post.

In the video, the singer cartoonishly pretends to confront the two women, lip-syncing to an audio that says: "Hey man, watch where you're going!" before Sweetin and Barber turn around and say "My bad!" to cheers and applause, pretending to be the special guest stars in a cheesy sitcom.

Bass captioned the post: "The TGIF crossover you never knew you needed."

Pop superstar Justin Timberlake has added eight more dates to his "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour."

Timberlake will perform the newly added shows before the previously scheduled concerts on February 7 and 8 at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes.

The new dates will see Timberlake stopping in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Austin, Portland, Sacramento, Anaheim and Palm Springs.

Timberlake returns to Moody Center in Austin on February 3. He already grossed $5.6 million at the venue for his previous two shows on May 31 and June 1 this year.

Justin Timberlake "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour" 2025 Dates:

Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are honoring their "bromance" with a new song!

The pair revealed on the latest episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that they collaborated on a tune that will be featured on Fallon's upcoming Christmas album - something which the late night host, 49, described as an ode to their friendship.

"We went to Electric Lady [to record it]," Timberlake shared on the Monday, Sept. 16 episode, before jokingly adding, "We had no business recording this song at such a fantastic, world famous studio."

"What are you talking about? This is a high quality song," Fallon responded. The comedian went on to say that Electric Lady studios was "unbelievable" and that it was the "best place to record a record." He explained, "Legends have been there and then they let me in there and I go, 'Oh my god.' So I go, 'Justin I can't believe I'm in this thing.' " "Also, the session probably should have only taken like two to three hours. We were there for like eight hours. Eight, nine hours," the "Can't Stop the Feeling" singer, 43, recalled. Fallon admitted that they took so long to record because they were "crying laughing" and described their song - called "You'll Be There" - as "a silly song," noting, "it's about kind of a bromance."

Fans still hoping for a true *NSYNC reunion are going to have to wait a little longer.

Speaking to PEOPLE on Sept. 13 at 90s Con 2024 in Daytona Beach, Fla., band member Joey Fatone said that given the five singers' busy schedules, "we haven't had that conversation yet."

"Justin [Timberlake] is finishing up his tour, I've been doing a bunch of things with AJ [McLean] from Backstreet Boys. So that's been great."

But, he added, "hopefully at some point when [Justin] is done with his tour, we'll sit down and go, 'What are we doing?' and figure it out. I would love to have that conversation, whether yes or no - I just want to know. Just tell me so we can move on with our lives. Either say we had a good run and be done with it, or see what we can do."

Decades before he was a household name as a member of *NSYNC, or a podcast host with Name Drop, Chris Kirkpatrick was a proud part of Steelers Nation. He was born in Clarion, Pennsylvania, and like many native Yinzers, a passion for the black and gold was a prerequisite for living in the area.

"I remember as a real little kid running around and all the police officers at the time used to have those football cards," Kirkpatrick says. "But they were a little bigger than football cards, and I had Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Jack Hamm, Jack Lambert, Rocky Bleier. All the good ones."

The dynasty teams had an entire roster of Hall of Famers, but for Chris, one player was head and shoulders above the rest.

"Number one on my list has always been Mister Swann," Kirkpatrick says. "As a little kid, I had a little doll that my Grandma crocheted of Lynn Swann. At one point, the other number eight started to fall off, so it looked more like an 89. I had to fill it back in to make it back to 88. But Lynn's always been my favorite player."

As he got older, Kirkpatrick left the area to chase a college education and his music dreams. But even when he became an international star, he always supported the black and gold and started befriending his gridiron heroes. That was apparent in May when Troy Polamalu invited Chris to his inaugural Resilience Bowl charity flag football game.

"The Steelers called me up," Kirkpatrick says. "They know I'm a big Pittsburgh backer. I always try to make it back for a couple of games every year. If not, I'll see them on the road somewhere. I've gone back and sang the anthem. So anytime they're doing something, they'll call me up and ask if I can be a part of it."

There are no current plans for an *NSYNC reunion tour, but if anything changes, Joey Fatone has already drawn up ideas.

"The hardest part about that is, I think, we all [haven't] had our brains together in a long time," Fatone, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly at '90s Con on Friday, September 13. "All of us have probably different views, different points, different ideas, completely different things [to include] ... now that we have been separated as a group."

Fatone was a member of the iconic '90s boy band alongside Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick. While the group split in 2002, they reunited 20 years later for the 2023 songs "Better Place," commissioned for Timberlake's animated film Trolls Band Together, and "Paradise."

While dream-planning a potential tour, Fatone wasn't sure how the men would create a set list.

Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty to impaired driving Friday, resolving the criminal case stemming from his June arrest in New York's Hamptons.

The boy band singer-turned-solo star and actor appeared in Sag Harbor Village Court to enter a new plea.

The judge sentenced Timberlake to a $500 fine with a $260 surcharge, 25 hours of community service at the nonprofit of his choosing and required him to make a public safety announcement.

During the proceedings Timberlake remained standing throughout and gave a statement in which he expressed remorse for his actions. He said he grew up in a small town and appreciated the kind of strain his arrest has made on Sag Harbor. He said he has had a lot of time to reflect on his actions.

"I did not live up to the standards that I try to hold for myself," he said.

Timberlake said he is "grateful for the opportunity to move forward" and use his platform to hopefully help others make "better decisions."

"I should've had better judgment," he said to the judge. " I understand the seriousness of this."

In an alternate universe somewhere, Lance Bass is a lawyer who married his high school girlfriend in Mississippi.

That's what Bass believes might have happened, at least, if he had not taken his audition for *NSYNC when he was 16.

Bass, 45, explained why in a conversation with Us Weekly on behalf of his campaign with Kelley Blue Book. He's teaming up with the company to help people say "bye bye bye" when it's time to move on from something special, like their car.

The first time Bass had to deal with moving on from something special came in 1995 when he was presented with the opportunity to audition for *NSYNC. As he recalled to Us, he was vice president of his junior class in high school at the time, getting ready for his homecoming dance.

Justin Timberlake has reached a deal to resolve his driving while intoxicated case in the Hamptons, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The pop star is expected to appear in Sag Harbor Village court on Friday to plead guilty and pay a fine, resolving the misdemeanor charges, the sources said.

His attorney had no comment to ABC News on Wednesday.

Timberlake was leaving the American Hotel in June when he was stopped for running a stop sign and swerving into the oncoming lane. The officer smelled booze on his breath, according to a police report.

It's gonna be JC.

Former *NSYNC member JC Chasez graced the stage in a rare performance over the weekend alongside former Glee star Darren Criss in a delightfully 2000s throwback boy band moment.

The surprise appearance and performance took place at Elsie Fest - considered Broadway's music festival - in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 8, and included acoustic covers of "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me."

"You still remember the words?" Criss teased Chasez before the pair launched into the songs. "My favorite verse from one of my favorite singers!"

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have collaborated for many noteworthy entertainment moments, and they may soon add to that list.

NBC has confirmed that Timberlake will appear on the Monday, September 16 edition of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

Timberlake will appear as the lead interview guest, with Meghann Fahy also dropping by for a chat. Later, Yseult will take the stage for the show-closing musical performance.

As a longtime songwriter, artist and musical theater enthusiast, JC Chasez knows the power of a good story that strikes an emotional chord.

That's why he was floored when his friend and Golden Globe-winning musician Jimmy Harry showed him a theatrical adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein by his late mother, playwright Barbara Field. "What I found really appealing and very inspiring about the piece is her ability to make it more direct and accessible in terms of the emotion," the *NSYNC star tells Billboard. "It wasn't just about a big monster and this kind of, like, growling thing that I initially had the impressions of in films and when reading Frankenstein. I guess I was just young, and just didn't really have the time to settle in and really dig into the material. Recently, I was able to spend some time with the material and really get a good read and a good understanding of how emotional it was."

From there, Chasez and Harry took the story's themes of love, responsibility, loss and the human condition and channeled it into a major creative project: a 16-track musical theater concept album called Playing With Fire, which adds to Fields' theatrical adaptation that originally written as a play and not a musical. "I was a little bit apprehensive at first. It's like, you start messing with somebody family," Chasez says with a laugh of musically building off of Harry's mother's project.

Lance Bass, who rose to superstardom as part of the boy band *NSYNC, will be the guest star at this year's Cootertober event, Spooky Story Time & Dance Party, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, at the Depot at Liberty Park in Inverness.

In July, Bass released a children's book, "Trick or Treat on Scary Street," published by Union Square Kids, and illustrated by French illustrator Roland Garrigue.

This is big stuff for Inverness.

"So, Lance and the whole *NSYNC group have the same agent as Howie Day, Ryan Cabrera, LFO, and O-Town, and I have been working really closely with the agent for the last few years," said Elisha Belden, Twistid Arts Initiative executive director and event planner for the City of Inverness' Cootertober events.

"We are bringing Howie Day back for Walk of Arts in 2025, so I was chatting with the agent about that and he asked how things were going with the October stuff, since Howie did that with us last year, the agent remembered it," she said. "I was telling him about the events we have planned this year and it just went from there."

That conversation led to Ryan Cabrera agreeing to DJ the Vampire Ball and Lance Bass reading his children's book for our Spooky Story Time.

Belden said the story time event isn't just Bass reading his book, but a full-on live presentation using local teens.

"Best of all, it's giving the teens opportunities they wouldn't have had a few years ago," she said. "For example, the Story Time production is a mix of puppets and live actors, and those live actors are teens that I have hand-selected based on skill and reliability.

"These teens are going to be on stage with Lance helping to act out/tell his story," she said. "I mean, how cool is that? We didn't have opportunities like that when I was a young theatre student here. We had to leave the community for chances like that."

JC Chasez is ready to delve into the world of musical theater. The *NSYNC superstar revealed exclusively via Billboard on Sunday (Sept. 8) that he's teaming up with Golden Globe-winning songwriter and composer Jimmy Harry for a musical theater concept album called Playing With Fire. The 16-track project is inspired by Mary Shelly's seminal 1818 novel, Frankenstein, and blends electronic pop with classical music from the romantic era to create a fresh twist on a centuries-old story.The reimagining of the classic story came together when Harry showed Chasez a theatrical adaptation of the story by his late mother, playwright Barbara Field. Chasez was immediately captivated by the story, and the duo worked together to create an album that represents a conversation between a dying Frankenstein and his creation, The Creature, at the grave of Frankenstein's wife, Elizabeth. Through musical conversation and flashbacks, "the two grow to understand each other and the reasons for their actions that brutally affected each other's lives. They eventually find sympathy, love, and forgiveness for each other," per a press release.

In addition to writing the project, Chasez also lends his vocals to a number of tracks on Playing With Fire, alongside singers Cardamon Rozzi and Lily Elise. The album marks his first major musical project since his 2004 solo album, Schizophrenic.

"There are similarities [between writing a pop hit and musical theater songs] and there are some some very big differences," the star previously told Billboard of his interest in musical theater. "When you're writing a single for something, you're just looking to write about what you're feeling in the moment. When you're working on a musical, there's always a bigger picture and the story is always the driving force."

He added, "It's kind of like the last thing that I haven't really dabbled in. I started in television, then I moved into music and I made a couple of films. Now, it feels like this is the last untapped thing. It's nice to experience all sides of it."

Playing With Fire is out via Center Stage Records on Oct. 25. See the full track list below.

Coming Up #OnWithMarioLopez - #NSYNC's #ChrisKirkpatrick zooms in to talk #NameDrop #Podcast, #DirtyPop doc, #Pop2kTour, & more! Plus, Mario gets us ready for #Bachelorette #FantasySuites, your questions/comments, & why #TravisKelce, #MeghanTheeStallion, & #NeYo are trending in the Buzz!

*NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" has experienced a rare and rather amazing comeback. The tune was a huge hit on charts everywhere decades ago, and then, just like so many boy band-led tracks, it became a classic-one that didn't rack up enough streams or sales during any week to appear on rankings in almost any country.

Then, something amazing happened. The movie Deadpool & Wolverine made use of the smash in a manner that made light of it, while also reminding audiences of how catchy the cut is. The film was such a massive success at the box office that "Bye Bye Bye" became a hit all over again.

Just when it looked like the single was about to disappear once more after a surprise return, it's managed to climb again. In the U.K., "Bye Bye Bye" reaches a new peak on one tally this week, even as it backtracks on seemingly every other list.

"Bye Bye Bye" rises to a new all-time best showing on the Official Streaming chart-the U.K.'s ranking of the most-streamed tracks in the nation. This frame, the cut steps up just one space to No. 18, but that's enough for it to sit higher than ever before.

The poppy smash reaches its new peak in its third frame on the Official Streaming chart. The list didn't exist when the song was new, and it only reached the list for the first time following its Deadpool-related resurgence.

It's not every day Flavor Flav, Patrick Stewart and Lance Bass all gather in one room.

But on Sunday, Aug. 11, producer Jennifer Klein invited Hollywood's leading men to her Los Angeles home for her annual Day of Indulgence, which she "decided to give a new and fun twist" this year, she tells PEOPLE.

Dubbed "Mandulgence," the jam-packed event saw everyone from Bill Maher to Garrett Hedlund to Hiroyuku Sanada indulging in pedicures, facials, massages and more as they caught up in Klein's backyard to try out products from brands like OSEA Malibu, Clarins and Ember, shop button-downs from SANDRO Paris' pop-up shop and get spontaneous piercings in the Maria Tash lounge (Maude Apatow and her boyfriend Patrick Gibson got his and hers piercings as the actress' mom Leslie Mann looked on).

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin
One of the last to leave the bash, the singer and his husband relaxed with pedicures before picking out matching Cosabella pajamas and snacking on treats from Dunkin', Baskin-Robbins and Reese's.

A home fit for boy-band royalty is now on the market in Orlando.

Located at 9726 Kilgore Road, the home was designed by *NSYNC's Joey Fatone. Although the singer said "bye, bye, bye" to the mansion, known as Grande Oaks, years ago, it's anything but gone.

The sprawling, amenity-filled lakefront home has five bedrooms, nine baths and a total 10,010 square feet of living space.

It comes with its own movie theater, billiards room and a full gym. Outside, the home boasts a full-sized tennis court, basketball court, 10-car garage, mini-golf course and a helicopter pad.

The pride of this home on the much-prized Butler Chain of Lakes is out back, however. There's a resort-style pool consisting of three levels: a diving pool, a main pool and a 2-foot shallow pool. In the jacuzzi cabana cave sits the home's very own commercial-grade, restaurant-style teppanyaki grill, according to the listing.

Fatone sold the home in 2011 to Three-W Canada International, a private school management corporation, for $3.3 million, according to property records.

The home is currently listed for $15,000,000 and the listing agent is Julius Melendez with Kylin Property Management.

The highest new entry - the Hot Shot Debut - on the Aug. 10-dated Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and Billboard Global 200 is *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," new at Nos. 16 and 18, respectively. The song with the biggest weekly increase in overall consumption - the Greatest Gainer - is the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," up more than 30 spots on each list, hitting new peaks of Nos. 55 and 58.

Why are these songs, both chart-toppers upon their original releases a quarter-century ago, surging worldwide? Both tracks are featured in Disney's Deadpool & Wolverine, the biggest movie in the world. The superhero flick has brought in $852.1 million since its July 26 release, according to Box Office Mojo, becoming the year's second highest-grossing film in a matter of 11 days. The film and its soundtrack are drenched in catalog songs, employing classic hits from the 80s, 90s and 2000s to juice its nostalgic appeal.

"Bye Bye Bye" debuts on the back of 35.8 million streams and 5,000 downloads sold worldwide in the week ending Aug. 1, according to Luminate. From the previous week, before the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, those numbers mark an 879% increase in global streams, and a more than 1,000% increase in sales.

While consumption is up across the board, "Bye Bye Bye" sees bigger gains internationally, up 1,083% in non-U.S. streams compared to its still-massive 494% bump stateside. The song pops up on four of Billboard's Hits of the World charts. It's particularly strong in Asia, at No. 7 on Malaysia Songs with appearances on rankings for Hong Kong and Singapore. Additionally, it debuts at No. 16 on Peru Songs.

This is *NSYNC's third appearance on the Global 200, following their perennial holiday-season run for "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays," and last year's reunion track, "Better Place." Those have reached as high as Nos. 97 and 128, respectively, immediately outpaced by the group's Total Request Live-era classic. "Bye Bye Bye" topped the Pop Airplay tally for 10 weeks in the spring of 2000. (Billboard's global charts launched in 2020).

If you ever get the chance to learn the "Bye Bye Bye" choreography alongside former members of *NSYNC, just say yes. I did. On the day of the dance class, based in West Hollywood, CA, Lance Bass walked down the staircase at the Heart Weho nightclub first - looking every bit like the Y2K star we know and love. Bandmate and long-time friend Joey Fatone made a surprise appearance shortly afterwards, joining Bass for a mini *NSYNC reunion. As I geared up to learn some of the most iconic moves in boy band history, my inner fangirl evolved into a mild panic. How does one mentally prepare to embarrass themselves in front of such huge stars? But as Lance Bass later reminded me, even members of *NSYNC had to start somewhere.

"*NSYNC taught me how to dance," Bass tells PS after the class. "I would stay late after every rehearsal just to learn how to have rhythm, because I was a show choir dancer. I knew how to do big moves and jazz hands, but I didn't know any kind of hip hop moves." As a former ballet dancer with a perpetually stiff back and hyperextended knees . . . this resonates.

I step onto the dance floor, surrounded by sparkling disco balls and *NSYNC-themed cocktails (special shoutout to the "It's Gonna Be Mule"), and try my hardest to let loose. Choreography duo Cost n' Mayor leads us through the "Bye Bye Bye" dance moves step-by-step - all part of Marriott Bonvoy Moments' 1-Point Drops, where members can use a single point to bid on exclusive once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

While the class collectively struggles to pick up the choreography, Fatone and Bass meander through the crowd, showing us how it's done. In 2024, the iconic "Bye Bye Bye" dance is trending on social media, thanks to a revival in "Deadpool." Still, a lot's changed since the band first learned the choreography back in 2000. "Dancing has evolved, and I blame that on social media [and] shows like 'So You Think You Can Dance,'" Bass says.

*NSYNC is back in the zeitgeist thanks to 'Deadpool' -- and while there's renewed pressure for a reunion, it won't happen unless they're all on board ... so says Chris Kirkpatrick.

Here's the deal ... the '90s boy band's hit song "Bye Bye Bye" blasted into the Top 20 on Spotify's global chart this past week more than two decades after its original release -- all because Ryan Reynolds featured the tune in the opening credits of "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Since their names are being thrown around again as a result of the movie -- folks are yet again clamoring for the guys to get together for a tour (or even new music) ... but Chris tells TMZ there's a major hang-up that might prevent that from ever happening.

For starters, there's already been interest in *NSYNC getting together again -- dating back to the 'Trolls 3' movie -- and CK confirms 'Deadpool' is only adding more fuel to that fan fire.

Amid all that fervor ... Chris says there's been rumors -- or perhaps just an assumption -- that he, Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone would do an *NSYNC reunion without Justin Timberlake, who hasn't shown any interest in this, but Chris shoots that notion down.

Justin Timberlake appeared virtually at a Friday hearing for his driving while intoxicated case, where the judge announced the pop star's driver's license would be suspended and admonished his lawyer over "irresponsible" comments.

Timberlake, 43, wore a black collared shirt for his appearance via video conference from Antwerp, Belgium.

Sag Harbor Justice Carl Irace reprimanded the musician's attorney, Edward Burke Jr., for "irresponsible" comments he made at the last court hearing, adding that it "comes off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins."

The judge even threatened to issue a gag order if the attorney continued to make such comments. It's not clear which comments the judge was referring to.

Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC is living his best life right now. Between the Pop 2000s tour, the Name Drop podcast, and family life, the former boyband member gets the best of both worlds.

"I'm living the best life right now, I get to go tour on the weekends, usually I'm home during the week to hang out with my family," Kirkpatrick said. "This is the perfect scenario and Nashville is the perfect place for that."

Name Drop, hosted by Kirkpatrick and MTV's Brian McFayden, features the hosts swapping stories about their public lives and famous friends, including the stories behind the famous pop culture faces you've seen for years.

Kirkpatrick has also been part of the Pop 2000s tour, along with O-Town, BBMak, LFO, and Ryan Cabrera, offering fans a chance to relive the nostalgia with music of the 2000s. When comparing his current schedule to the schedule with *NSYNC, Kirkpatrick said it's a vast difference.

"It's definitely a much refined schedule," Kirkpatrick said. "Before, we were working 8 days a week, all the time. This one is, like I said, weekend warriors. We go out Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, do a couple shows, and then I fly home Sundays and Mondays and get to be with my family."

The biggest movie in the U.S. this past weekend was Deadpool & Wolverine. The superhero flick dominated the box office after opening wide, and it's become so popular that it is even helping one of the most successful boy bands of all time start selling again.

*NSYNC is back inside the top 40 on iTunes at the moment, and their comeback is connected to the film. Deadpool & Wolverine makes clever use of the group's "Bye Bye Bye," and it's that tune that has become a bestseller again.

At the time of writing, "Bye Bye Bye" appears at No. 35 on the U.S. iTunes chart. The single recently broke back into the top 40 region on the list as sales of the cut continue to climb in the wake of the high-profile sync.

While "Bye Bye Bye" will always be a pop music classic, it's pretty clear that its usage in Deadpool & Wolverine is responsible for the momentary comeback. The version that's rising on iTunes is even labeled "Bye Bye Bye (From Deadpool & Wolverine)."

The soundtrack that accompanies the action-packed movie was released on July 24. In the days afterward, the blockbuster hit theaters, helping the songs - and the album - surge. At present, two different versions of the same full-length are living inside the top 10 on the American iTunes albums-only ranking.

Joey Fatone revealed his kids have a thing or two to catch up on when it comes to his musical catalog.

While chatting exclusively with Us Weekly about his back-to-school campaign with Great Clips, Fatone, 47, recalled the time he discovered his daughter Kloey, 14, was a secret Backstreet Boys fan.

"We were at a wedding. She was definitely, I think, probably eight, maybe seven years old, and 'Bye Bye Bye' came on," he shared. After his friend convinced him to grab the mic and sing along to the *NSYNC track, Fatone tried to get Kloey to join in.

"[I] had the microphone, and then, I was like, 'Kloey, you know it?' She's like, 'No, I don't really know it.' I'm like, 'OK, whatever,'" he told Us. However, things took when the Backstreet Boys tune "I Want It That Way" came on.

Apparently, the best way to the heart of a millennial is through their beloved boy bands-and Kamala Harris is using that to her advantage.

Fans say that Vice President Harris found the perfect strategy for getting in sync with millennial voters ahead of the upcoming presidential election, where she is expected to be named the official Democratic nominee to run against former President Donald Trump in November.

And by teaming up with *NSYNC star Lance Bass, some fans think Harris just upped her chances of winning.

In a new video shared on Bass' Instagram grid on Friday, July 26, the boy band member invited Harris to join in on singing one of *NSYNC's most iconic songs.

"Hey Kamala," Bass started the video, before asking, "What are we gonna say to Donald Trump in November?"

"Bye, bye, bye!" Harris replied, referencing the 2000 smash hit song of the same title that *NSYNC is known-and loved-for.

Chances are, your summer isn't booked with global concert dates or weeknights behind The Tonight Show desk. Best to leave that stuff to superstars: Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. But the one thing we can all do to channel our inner JT and Jimmy is to have more fun on the golf course.

Easier said than done after you've bladed a wedge across a green. But it's their commitment to keeping each round fun (no matter what happens), that makes the on-course vibe that Timberlake and Fallon share worth aspiring to.

At the annual 8AM Invitational, held for the third consecutive year at the Wynn Las Vegas, this tandem teamed up to put on a show rivaling anything you'll find on the Strip.

Timberlake, a low-handicapper, takes his game and tournament-hosting gig seriously; Fallon takes seriously his job of keeping the atmosphere phenomenally loose. On the flip side, JT's competitive edge rubs off on Jimmy just enough for the late-night king to lay off the funny to lean into clutch shots.

Their camaraderie has helped make the 8AM Invitational the game's preeminent celebrity team event.

Netflix's Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam documentary is revisiting details surrounding Lou Pearlman's death.

The disgraced talent manager, best known for forming famous music groups like *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, died in August 2016 while serving his 25-year sentence for money laundering at a Miami prison. He was convicted of fraud, conspiracy and more crimes after authorities discovered he stole more than $300 million from investors through one of the largest and longest-running Ponzi schemes in U.S. history - much of which is explored in the final episode of Netflix's three-part docuseries, which premiered on Wednesday, July 24.

The first half of the series focuses on how Pearlman created and funded his old boy bands while taking a large portion of their profits as a "sixth member," per their recording contracts. According to Billboard, he was eventually sued by nearly every single act - including *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys in the late '90s - after building a business empire on fraud.

At the time of Pearlman's death, some members of his former groups offered their condolences on social media, including Justin Timberlake, who wrote on (X formerly Twitter), "I hope he found some peace. God bless and RIP, Lou Pearlman." Others, however, weren't so sympathetic.

"I think we should remember Lou as a crook who got what he deserved in the end," *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick, 52, says frankly in the Netflix doc, "and there are people that are still in pain and hurting because of his actions."

A hearing in the case of Justin Timberlake being accused of driving while intoxicated was held Friday, where an attorney for the singer disputed his arrest in June.

"The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI," Edward Burke, attorney for Timberlake, said in a statement. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case."

"Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do. He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve. He also respects the entire judicial process including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today," Burke continued. "But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated and they made an error in arresting him for it. We are confident that this charge will be dismissed."

The singer was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York last month. He is currently on tour for his most recent album, "Everything I Thought It Was" and was not present at the hearing.

According to police, the singer was observed driving a 2025 BMW in the early morning hours and was "operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition." He allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign and also failed to maintain in his lane of travel, a statement from Sag Harbor Police read.

After an officer initiated a traffic stop, Timberlake told police he "had one martini and I followed my friends home," according to court records.

Joey Fatone of *NSYNC and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys have canceled their tour stop in Pittsburgh.

The show was scheduled for Aug. 23 at Rivers Casino.

A news release said the cancelation is because of a "scheduling conflict."

An Instagram post from Fatone and McLean said, "AJ has an exciting new opportunity that he just couldn't pass up. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to share more with you soon!"

Blake Lively is living the millennial dream.

The "Gossip Girl" alum couldn't help but gush about meeting *NSYNC at the "Deadpool & Wolverine" after-party earlier this week, sharing her excitement in the comments of an Instagram post from *NSYNC member Lance Bass.

"Still waiting for our call to join the X-Force. Your move, @marvelstudios. (Not pictured @justintimberlake but here in spirit!)," Bass captioned the post, which included a photo of him, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone alongside Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

Lively took to the comments to recount the monumental moment.

"Can confirm (if my face doesn't) this was the single happiest most complete moment of my life," she wrote. "I'll shave my hair off and perm it bleach blonde. It's fine. I can scrub in. I'm ready. This just feels right."

Bass clearly loved the idea, responding, "@blakelively I have all the bleach you need! You're in!"

Before *NSYNC became a massive global juggernaut in the '90s, the boy band had a hard time keeping themselves a secret.

It's hard to fathom why the iconic group - comprised of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone - that eventually sold over 70 million records worldwide needed to be kept under wraps at one point in time. However, forming under the same manager who was behind the Backstreet Boys during their rise to fame, too, had a lot to do with it, according to Netflix's new docuseries, Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam.

"In the beginning, Lou [Pearlman] would always ask me to keep it on the down-low," Kirkpatrick, 52, says of his former manager (who died in 2016) in the documentary - which chronicles the rise and fall of Pearlman, who was convicted in 2008 for running "one of the longest-running Ponzi schemes in American history," according to Netflix. "It was always, 'Don't forget. I don't want you telling, you know, people about this.'"

Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson also appears in the docuseries to shed more light on how *NSYNC was seemingly formed behind his band's back while they were promoting their debut single, 1995's "We've Got It Goin' On," in Germany.

"*NSYNC was kind of brought on the scene under the table," he shares, adding that his boy band was finally introduced to the rival group after they sang at Pearlman's birthday party in Europe. "Everyone just went, 'What?'"

At age 13 Joey Fatone moved with his family from New York to Orlando, Florida in 1990. He attended Walker Middle School and Dr. Philips High School and then started working at Disney and Universal, as one does who grows up in Orlando. A friendship he formed in his Universal days would turn out to be monumental in changing the trajectory of his life.

In 1995, Chris Kirkpatrick, Fatone's buddy from working at Universal, called him to come join the boy band he was forming. Kirkpatrick and Fatone were joined by Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, and eventually Lance Bass to create a band capable of stunning five-part harmonies. That band? Oh yeah, it was *NSYNC. After a few years performing and finding their rhythm in Germany, the guys came back to America and in 1998 released their self-titled debut album. They catapulted themselves into mega stardom and are a permanent fixture in pop culture history. The five members of *NSYNC became household names. Fame and success followed them even after the group disbanded and they each pursued other projects.

Other than a few years in Los Angeles, throughout all of the hit songs, world tours, and now acting and hosting gigs, for Fatone, Orlando has remains the place he calls home. " Living down south and living in Florida, for me, I enjoy it," Fatone told Southern Living in a recent conversation. "And it's just a lot easier living. It really is...I've lived in New York, I love all four seasons but I don't want to live in all four seasons. That's just me, you know. I'll visit it. I'll visit the snow. Love the snow. Do I want to live in it and shovel it? Nope. I don't," he said with a hearty chuckle.

Dad of two daughters, Kloey Alexandra and Briahna Joely, Fatone also said," it's a great place and I think it's a great place to raise a family. It really is." His parents and siblings are also all still in Florida so while he travels for work often, he finds comfort in returning to Orlando. It's a calmer place where he can just be Dad, which with the help of his daughters, keeps him grounded.

"It's like you're not cool, you're my dad. You're only cool when you have perks," he joked. Fatone went on to explain that his daughters weren't around at the height of *NYSNC's fame. "I think the first time they saw anything about it was when we got the star on the Walk of Fame. My kids were there. My little one loved Ellen Degeneres and getting Ellen up there to talk about us, and to talk about [her] dad when she watched the show every day, it's weird. To see these two things come together where it's always been there the whole time, but when I was home, I was dad."

Lance Bass is starting a new chapter when it comes to his health as he learns how to manage having type 1.5 diabetes, a slower-progressing condition that has characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The *NSYNC star, 45, revealed he had type 2 diabetes back in March, after being diagnosed a few years prior. He told People that it was something he had developed during the COVID pandemic and that it led him to re-evaluate his lifestyle and diet.

Now, he tells Yahoo Life that the changes he was making and the medication he was taking weren't helping him feel better. Bass found out that was because he was being treated for the wrong condition.

"I was so frustrated, and it really was affecting me because I just felt like I was really sick and I could not figure this out. ...I felt like something was wrong with me," Bass says of his unsuccessful treatment for type 2. "I just recently discovered that it was a misdiagnosis."

While he's still coming to terms with the latest diagnosis, Bass already feels more empowered in living with type 1.5 diabetes - which is also referred to as latent autoimmune diabetes. Here's what the pop star has learned so far.

*NSYNC was just one of the many boy bands who were conned by former manager Lou Pearlman, the subject of Netflix's new docuseries Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam.

Member Chris Kirkpatrick even appears, explaining the odd way that Pearlman interacted with the ensemble that also includes Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Justin Timberlake.

"He'd always talk [about], 'I need you guys in shape, whatever,'" Kirkpatrick says. "Started coming up, grabbing our arms. Then it was like, 'Well, let me see your abs.' You're like a 50-, 60-year-old guy - that's too far."

Pearlman, who also represented the Backstreet Boys, LFO, O-Town, Innosense, and others, was convicted of money laundering in 2008. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison and died of a heart attack there in 2016.

Kirkpatrick's bandmate Bass produced his own documentary about Pearlman in 2019, The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story, in which he recalled realizing money was being handled improperly when Pearlman gave them their first paychecks after two years of work. The band had hit record sales of 10 million.

"I open up the envelope, I see the check, and oh, my gosh, my heart sunk," Bass says, per USA Today. "I couldn't believe the number I was looking at. The check was $10,000. And not to sound ungrateful...but when you compare it to how many hours we had put into this group for years, it didn't even touch minimum wage. At all."

*NSYNC got (most of) the band back together - again!

On Monday, July 22, nearly a year after their surprise musical reunion for Trolls Band Together, the iconic boy band reunited - without Justin Timberlake, who's on tour in Europe - once more at the New York City premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, the third Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

Band members JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone posed together on the red carpet Monday night, and while most of them wore neutral outfits, Kirkpatrick, 52, sported a couple pops of Deadpool red over an all-black look.

*NSYNC's latest reunion coincides with their famous 2000 hit "Bye Bye Bye" getting featured on the official Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack.

Joey Fatone needs help understanding what his teenage daughter is saying.

"I have a 14-year-old, who is right in that gap of the 'No cap,' 'beige flag,' 'bruh,' all the 'rizz,'" Fatone, 47, a former member of the iconic boy band *NSYNCC, tells TODAY.com, adding, "Mewing ... mooing, what the hell are you doing?"

"These are words I have no idea about," he says.

In an effort to relate to his daughter Kloey, Fatone says he has tried to learn Gen Z slang and - worse - introduce 1990s terminology from his own youth. He's aware of how it looks.

"If I try to say it, it sounds so dorky," says Fatone. "Back in my day, it was 'mint' or 'dope' ... the only thing I was 'bussin' was moves."

Fatone, who shares daughters Kloey Alexandra and Briahna Joely, 23, with his ex-wife Kelly Baldwin, spoke to TODAY.com for his back to school campaign with salon brand Great Clips.

Are you ready to feel the oldest you've ever felt? *NSYNC's Joey Fatone's oldest daughter, Briahna, is 23 years old. (We'll give you all a moment; perhaps take this time to schedule a mammogram or stay limber with some gentle stretches.) He also has a 14-year-old, Kloey, and, in more than two decades of parenting two kids, he's learned everything he doesn't know.

"Let's be real. Parents, we always think we know what we're doing," he tells Scary Mommy via Zoom. "None of us know. I always thought, my parents were ... the smartest people alive. And then as you get older and you go, 'Oh, damn. They didn't really know all that, did they?' Or they would just make it up as they go along because they honestly didn't know, and nobody else did either.'"

A particular area he's realizing he's clueless about? Gen-Z slang.

"Back in the day, for me, I was using 'rad,' and 'mint,' and 'that was dope,' or fo' shizzle my nizzle," he says with a nostalgic glint in his eye. "And my parents were like, 'What are you talking about?' So now, it's weird, because now I feel that way. 'No cap.' 'Rizz.' 'Bussin'.' I thought it was like 'busting moves,' but that's completely wrong."

This could be a humbling moment, especially for someone with Fatone's level of Millennial-cool cred. But he's leaning into it as part of his new partnership with salon chain Great Clips, whose back-to-school campaign defines Gen-Z slang for poor, unwitting parents who are just realizing they're officially out of the loop. And his youngest, Kloey, is there to help.

Chris Kirkpatrick is keeping hope alive for a future *NSYNC reunion.

The singer, 52, walked the carpet at the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine at the David H. Koch Theater in NYC on Monday, where he spoke with ET's Rachel Smith about where plans stand in regard to *NSYNC releasing new music and even potentially going on tour at some point.

"Well, we've been talking about it for a while," Kirkpatrick said. "We're kicking the tires, seeing if the car will still drive, and, you know, we'll see where it leads."

Kirkpatrick and his fellow bandmates -- including Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone -- reunited last year for a new original song on the soundtrack for Timberlake's film, Trolls Band Together. This got fans clamoring for a reunion with renewed enthusiasm.

Then, in March, Timberlake was joined onstage by his former bandmates during a stop on his Forget the World Tour, and they collaborated on the track "Paradise" off his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was.

"Hopefully, you know, we're all kind of in agreement that, moving forward, our fanbase and a lot of people, still want this," Kirkpatrick continued. "So we can't disappoint them. So it's not a positive, but it's a we'll see."

The popular Trolls film franchise returned for its third installment last year, and the film acted as a reunion for iconic boy band *NSYNC in the process. Justin Timberlake has played one of the leads in Trolls from the beginning, but Trolls Band Together brought former bandmates JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick into the fold for a brand new adventure. That new Trolls film just hit Netflix this week and has quickly taken over the streamer's film charts.

Trolls Band Together had no problem passing any of the new Netflix originals that have been released in recent weeks, as it took over the Netflix Top 10 Movies list on just its second day on the service.

Thursday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list sees Trolls Band Together in the number one overall spot, passing movies like Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Minions, and Shrek in the process.

You can't turn on the TV or go online without being inundated with ads for "Deadpool & Wolverine." That Marvel Marketing Machine is working overtime. But it's not all bad. In fact, when it comes to the soundtrack, color us intrigued.

In a new social media post, Marvel Studios has released the track list for the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine" soundtrack. This is a fairly unique thing for Marvel, as outside of "Guardians of the Galaxy," the studio doesn't release films with a ton of needle drops. However, over the first two "Deadpool" films, Ryan Reynolds and Co. have been really successful with perfectly timed musical moments.

In "Deadpool 2" alone, the film is basically bookended by needle drops. You have Air Supply's "I'm All Out of Love" at the beginning of the film and then A-ha's "Take on Me" at the emotional climax. So, even without seeing "Deadpool & Wolverine," you have to be confident in the filmmaker's use of music.

As for what's included on the soundtrack for "Deadpool & Wolverine," it's an eclectic mix. You have songs from *NSYNC, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Fergie. Then you have that contrasted with Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, and a song from "The Greatest Showman." It'll be really interesting to see how they weave all of these into the finished film. /p>

Chris Kirkpatrick feels it every time *NSYNC is in the same room together - he is instantly transported back to the '90s, the wildest of times when Justin, JC, Lance, and Joey took the pop world by storm.

And, in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, founding member Chris said "there's definitely an interest" in staging a nostalgic comeback.

The band, which sold over 70 million records during a golden spell between 1995 and 2002, hasn't performed together since 2013.

They took to the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards when Cry Me a River star JT received an award.

*NSYNC joined Ariana Grande at Coachella in 2019, before regrouping again for one night only as part of Justin's tour last March.

Chris admits he partied for a few years after the band split 22 years ago, but has thrived in the second half of his musical career.

He stars in his Name Drop podcast with MTV's Bryan McFayden, and is loving being back on stage as part of the Pop 2000 tour.

Yet the lure of bursting out hits like Bye Bye Bye and It's Gonna Be Me will never leave.

"There's nothing set in stone. But with everything that's gone on, there's definitely an interest," Chris told The U.S. Sun.

After Ben Affleck achieved his dreams of pop stardom by forming the boy band the DunKings, Dunkin' is making more music by releasing its first EP exclusively on Spotify today.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone and the Backstreet Boys' A.J. McLean have united as the Iced Boys for their first duet, "Iced Like My Coffee." Referencing the DunKings single "Don't Dunk Away at My Heart," they sing "Don't dunk away my heart again" in a nostalgic '90s-style jam accompanied by Zev Prince. A visualizer for the track will drop later this month.

The rest of the EP's four tracks are shorter. Peyton Mackenzie and August Roads sing about how Dunkin' Refreshers can quench their thirst on a hot day in "Refresher Season" and "Sparkd' Up" touting Sparkd' Energy as a way to recharge with caffeine and nutrients.

McLean and Fatone teased their work last month as part of the Dunkin'Terns, a group working under actor-comedian Will Arnett and content creator Natalie Marshall (@corporatenatalie) to promote Dunkin' iced energy as Affleck takes a summer break from his role as brand ambassador. The boy band veterans suggested making Dunkin' iced coffee top of mind by producing a "deliciously nostalgic" banger about the drink.

Chris Kirkpatrick breaks into a smile when the conversation turns to Justin Timberlake.

The pair met when JT was a starry eyed 14 year-old starting out on a journey which would see *NSYNC become one of the biggest boy bands in the world.

Chris, nine years older than the Cry Me A River singer, says he felt like his big brother, and immediately witnessed his superstar qualities.

"I've always thought this is what it must be like to be Mozart's older brother," Chris told The U.S. Sun in a wide-ranging interview about his glorious past and exciting future.

He became enamored with his new pal who has become one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, having sold over 117 million worldwide.

JT is a global mega-star, the man dubbed The Prince of Pop and by far the most famous member of *NSYNC.

But as he sits talking to The U.S Sun about the success of his Name Drop podcast and the excitement of rolling back the years on the retro Pop 2000 tour, Chris, 52, is more than happy with his lot.

He doesn't want to touch on Justin's recent DUI arrest in Sag Harbor, yet looks at the burning spotlight forever shining on his former band member and winces.

The singer admits his A-list friend, with whom he's in regular contact and sees as a member of his own family, has never had the chance to "lead a normal life."

Joey Fatone commented briefly on fellow *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake's recent DUI arrest.

"You do something with the law, you get smacked on the wrist just like anybody else. So it is what it is," said Fatone on FOX 5 DC Thursday. "I mean, everybody gets DUIs - I mean I didn't get one, but everyone gets DUIs! But not me. Again, you do something wrong, you get slapped on the wrist. That's really basically what happens. You known, again, for me, I know to take an Uber."

Fatone joined FOX 5 DC to promote an upcoming show with fellow former boy-band musician, The Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean.

"The greatest thing about it is to see *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys fans come together in this show," said Fatone. "You're going to hear songs from *NSYNC, you're going to hear songs from Backstreet, you're going to hear songs in between. We do this thing where we throw this blow up die in the audience. It's kind of like Hot Potato, where the song stops, the person has to. Whoever is the last person has to hold up that die, that number in the front of the die is according to a list that we have on stage. The songs completely change every night."

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Impractical Jokers Season 11, Episode 1.]

Impractical Jokers is back on a new network as Season 11 debuted on truTV's sister channel TBS, and with the latest episode came one very special punishment for honorary Joker and former *NSYNC singer, Joey Fatone.

Participating alongside Sal Vulcano, Brian "Q" Quinn, and James "Murr" Murray, Fatone took part in every challenge but was ultimately the night's big loser. While his loss was surprising, his punishment was even more shocking as the Jokers took inspiration from their own past punishments to put Fatone through it.

Among the highlights was Fatone being forced to host a fake dance show in a tracksuit replicated from an *NSYNC doll of his, being forced to numb his gums, getting a tattoo, and even peeing his pants. "No, he really peed his pants," Q tells TV Insider when asked if there was a special rig in Fatone's pants to replicate the act. "We made him do a punishment gauntlet of things that we've done in the past, and Sal had to pee his pants once on TV, so we made Fatone do it," Q elaborates.

"When we pitched him the overall concept of doing a gauntlet of all these punishments, do you have any questions, any concerns? He was like, 'Nah, whatever you want to do.' So we took him at his word." Luckily, Q says, "He's just game for anything. He's an awesome dude."

Impractical Jokers, Season 11, Thursdays, 10/9c, TBS

Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are going into business together again, and this time it's in Scotland.

The duo, who are shareholders in a real estate company dubbed Nexus Luxury Collection, were given the green light to convert an old cinema into a state-of-the-art sports bar in St. Andrews. The sports bar, T-Squared Social, will take over New Picture House Cinema. Much like its counterpart in New York City, T-Squared Social in St. Andrews will feature golf simulators, duckpin bowling and darts.

The old cinema won't completely go away, as the new venture will keep two cinema screens. The owners of the establishment are reportedly all for the conversion, stating that the venue is currently running at under 10 percent occupancy and there was no way the cinema could stay in business at that rate. The movie theater opened its doors in 1930 and seats 700 people. Following the approval of the project, work must get underway within the next three years.

St. Andrews holds a special place for both Timberlake and Woods. Timberlake, not just an avid golfer but one who can hold his own against the best of them, has previously played in St. Andrews, home to The Old Course. The iconic course is known as "the home of golf" after its establishment in 1552.

Life is sunny for Lance Bass and his family!

On Sunday, July 7, the *NSYNC alum, 45, posted a carousel full of fun photos of family and friends on Instagram, and the post heavily featured his husband, Michael Turchin, and their twins.

"Our job is beach," Bass captioned the set of photos, taken in Destin, Fla. His words were a nod to the character Ken in the 2023 movie Barbie.

The carousel of photos from the family getaway kicked off with Bass and Turchin, 37, posing with their kids, Violet Betty and Alexander James, on the sand and in the ocean.

The twins - who are 2 years old - posed in front of a wall of colorful balloon lights in another photo, and the musician sat between his kids in their car seats wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap sideways in yet another moment captured on film.

Bass posed with his daughter while holding onto the leashes of sculptures that looked like balloon animals in another sweet shot.

The team at Disney Live Entertainment has once again cooked up a lineup full of flavor - from fresh-to-the-festival acts like Yellowcard, The Wanted, and David Archuletta, to house favorites like Hanson, Tiffany, and Boyz II Men.

Following the same recipe you've come to love at recent festivals, the America Gardens Theatre stage will host internationally recognized artists as well as local bands bringing their sizzling sounds to the concert series.

Lance Bass is totally in sync with the planet.

While most pop music fans probably know Bass as one-fifth of iconic 2000s boy band *NSYNC, those in the environmental community know him as a dedicated steward of the Earth. In fact, Bass serves as Board Chair for the Environmental Media Association (EMA), and regularly uses his platform to promote environmentalism in the film and TV industry.

In June 2024, Bass spoke on a panel at the Environmental Media Association's eighth annual EMA IMPACT Summit, an inspiring event that Bass says is all "about harnessing the power of entertainment to drive real, impactful change and inspire our audiences to take action."

"There's something so powerful about seeing people from all corners of the entertainment world unite for a common cause," Bass tells Green Matters exclusively in an email. "Our industry has such a broad reach, and when we highlight environmental issues and solutions, it amplifies the message to millions of people. It's about harnessing the power of entertainment to drive real, impactful change."

Lance Bass rose to fame as the bass singer in the iconic vocal group, *NSYNC. The group sold over 70 million albums and broke countless world records. Beyond *NSYNC, Bass has an extensive and illustrious career as a television and radio host. He has appeared in films like "Zoolander," acted in Broadway's "Hairspray," and is the host of one of iHeartMedia's most popular podcasts, "Frosted Tips with Lance Bass." "Trick or Treat on Scary Street" is Bass's new children's book coming out on July 23.

Bass's influence extends beyond the entertainment industry. He is a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, wildlife conservation, and animal rights, using his platform to raise awareness. His work as co-chair on the executive board at the Environmental Media Association, an organization that unifies voices for our planet through entertainment, storytelling, and education, further demonstrates his commitment to environmental causes. In a new venture, he has partnered with Tessa Adams and JT Swierczek to develop everle, a social media app, now in beta, that prioritizes mental health.

The year 2023 marked a significant moment for *NSYNC as the group reunited to release the single "Better Place" for the film "Trolls Band Together." The group also released a song called "Paradise" on Justin Timberlake's current album, "Everything I Thought It Was," and reunited at the 2023 VMA's.

Born in Mississippi, Bass currently resides in LA with his husband, Michael Turchin, and their two children. We caught up with Bass to learn more.

Lance Bass' daughter is pretty obsessed with *NSYNC!

The former boy band member, 45, posted a fun video on Instagram on Sunday, June 23, in which someone (presumably his husband, Michael Turchin) asked their daughter, Violet Betty, questions about what she's watching on TV.

"Violet, what's the name of Baba's friends?" the person asked the 2-year-old, prompting her to excitedly reply, "JC," referring to Bass' former bandmate JC Chasez.

Her dad confirmed she was correct before he addressed the camera in an exasperated voice.

" 'Bye Bye Bye' on the TV, we gotta watch it 14 times a day," Bass said, panning to the TV screen.

Turning the camera back on Violet, who was wearing dinosaur-print pajamas, he asked his daughter, "Can you show the 'Bye Bye Bye' hand?" and further prompted her, "Can you make it move?" so she could show off her skills.

"It seems Violet has officially chosen a favorite. @jcchasezofficial #JCgirl," Bass captioned the video, which was liked by celebrity friends including Paris Hilton and Danielle Fishel.

Justin Timberlake is back on tour after his DWI arrest.

The 43-year-old performed at Chicago's United Center June 21, less than a week after being detained and charged in New York with one count of driving while intoxicated. While onstage, the "Cry Me a River" singer shared his first public comments about his life since the incident.

"We've been together through ups and downs and lefts and rights, and it's been a tough week," Timberlake told the crowd, as seen in a fan's video shared on social media, "but you're here, and I'm here, and nothing can change this moment right now."

The Grammy winner continued, "I know sometimes I'm hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back. Thank you so much."

Timberlake was arrested in the Long Island community of Sag Harbor the night of June 17 during a few days off from his Forget Tomorrow world tour. Authorities pulled him over during a traffic stop and found him in an "intoxicated condition," officials said in a report obtained by E! News.

Justin Timberlake has been arraigned and released from custody after being charged in Sag Harbor, New York, with one count of DWI.

Police say he was pulled over Monday night after he ran through a stop sign and his 2025 BMW was weaving along the road.

He is next scheduled to virtually appear in court on July 26, the same day he's set to begin a two-night stand in Krakow, Poland.

The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office released the following statement to Deadline:

"On June 18, 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor for Driving While Intoxicated. He was arraigned in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court and released on his own recognizance. His next court date is a virtual appearance in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court scheduled for July 26, 2024. At this time, we have no further comment."

Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Robert Drake also released a statement: "On June 18, 2024, at 12:37 AM, Justin R. Timberlake, age 43, of Tennessee, was observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel. A traffic stop was initiated by a Police Officer from Sag Harbor Village Police Department and upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition. Mr. Timberlake was placed under arrest, process, and held overnight for morning arraignment. Mr. Timberlake was arraigned at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on June 18, 2024, at 9:30 AM where he was released on his own recognizance."

*NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick knew he wanted to be involved with Jon Bon Jovi's new rooftop bar and restaurant - also known as JBJ's Nashville - when he saw a photo of him "cleaning a kitchen" in one of his Soul Kitchen nonprofit restaurants.

"It's freaking Bon Jovi," Kirkpatrick, 52, told FOX Business of investing in Jon Bon Jovi's Live Music Rooftop Bar & Restaurant, which is now open.

Kirkpatrick, who has lived in Nashville, Tennessee, for the last eight years, explained that when he was younger, Bon Jovi was not hardcore enough for his musical tastes, but he recently decided he needed to be involved in "whatever" the "Livin' on a Prayer" singer does after seeing him washing dishes.

"I was born in the early '70s. I grew up in the '80s. All those hair bands, that rock and roll, that was like my thing," the former boy bander told FOX Business in a wide-ranging interview that also covered his "Name Drop" podcast with former MTV star Brian McFayden.

As we head into Father's Day weekend, have you ever wondered what it's like to have a pop star as a father? *NSYNC's Joey Fatone found out the hard way that sometimes it means your favorite group isn't the one your dad's in.

"We were at a wedding one time, and my little one, Kloey, she was very young at the time," Joey recalled. "And all of a sudden they played an *NSYNC song. ... And then the Backstreet Boys song came on. Do you know, my kid grabbed the microphone and knew all the words?"

"And I go, 'When have you ever learned the words?' Like, she knew every word! I was like, 'That's messed up!' And she just laughed at me and went, 'I like it.'"

Meanwhile, Joey's current tour mate, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, says his daughters don't like it when the public wants a piece of their father.

"Both my girls are really territorial over daddy," he noted. "If we're out having a daddy-daughter day and someone stops for, like, an autograph or a photo, they [become], like, mini bodyguards ... but they love it."

And AJ says he gets a weird sense of satisfaction from kids at his daughter's school who try to tease him by making Backstreet jokes during the school drop-off.

"As I walk away, like clockwork every morning, the same two boys [sing], 'Tell me why!'" says AJ, referring to the famous lyric from Backstreet's "I Want It That Way." "And I just think it's adorable, whether they're making fun or not."

A pop star with local ties was selected as one of the people to help make America's 250th anniversary pop.

Lance Bass will be a member of the America250 Ambassador Circle, and he gave a shout-out to his home town in the announcement.

"I'm thrilled to join the America250 Ambassador Circle and represent my hometown of Laurel, Mississippi, as we commemorate this historic milestone," Bass said. "Mississippi's rich musical heritage has shaped my journey as an entertainer, and I am proud to share its story as part of this inclusive celebration."

America250, the official nonpartisan entity charged with planning and orchestrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, announced that Bass will join the newly established America250 Ambassador Circle, which is described as "a diverse coalition of high-profile leaders who will help represent and amplify the efforts of America250 over the next two years."

Each ambassador represents a different region, "reinforcing America250's commitment to creating the largest and most inclusive commemoration in history that engages as many Americans as possible."

Some of the kids at the Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee who were attending the organization's summer camp had the opportunity to meet an iconic boy band member.

The kids met longtime Nashville resident Chris Kirkpatrick, one of the founding members of *NSYNC.

Kirkpatrick and his wife, Karly, met with the children where he taught the dance to "Bye Bye Bye" and sang it too.

Kirkpatrick has recently lent his voice as an actor on several kids' shows and movies. He recently starred as the Troll "Trickee" in the Dreamworks movie Trolls Band Together.

The Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee is an after-school program that helps kids with academic success, character and healthy lifestyles.

In early June 2024, a supergroup of celebrities and climate activists gathered in Hollywood at the Environmental Media Association's eighth annual EMA Impact Summit.

Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Lance Bass, Bonnie Wright, Shailene Woodley, Ted Danson, Rainn Wilson, Amber Valletta, Phil Rosenthal, Ed Begley Jr., Eli Roth, Issa Lopez - among others - all spoke on panels at the two-day summit, which took place at the Pendry West Hollywood in Los Angeles.

"The whole point of IMPACT [is] to educate and motivate the public to think about the solutions for each sustainable issue impacting us," Debbie Levin, CEO of EMA, tells Green Matters exclusively in an e-interview ahead of the event.

*NSYNC isn't saying bye, bye, bye to the possibility of a tour quite yet.

But as Joey Fatone explained, getting his fellow alums Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass back on the road together for the first time in 20 years is easier said than done.

"The five of us need to get together to have that conversation to say yes or no," he told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "What does it look like? If we're going to do a tour, are we going to do new music?" (For more with Joey, tune into E! News tonight, June 6, at 11 p.m.)

Joey also noted that it might be difficult as they all have separate careers, especially as he himself is set to tour with Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean this summer for their Legendary Nights tour.

"We're on tour, Justin's still on tour," he explained. "Lance has been doing a podcast, JC's been writing, Chris has been doing a radio called Name Drop and also on tour as well. So, once we get that where our heads are in the same bucket."

*NSYNC star Chris Kirkpatrick went the extra mile for Folds of Honor.

On Monday, Kirkpatrick participated in a celebrity softball game that the nonprofit organization held in Nashville, Tennessee. While guarding home plate, local radio host Jeremy Loper slid right into him, resulting in his hand breaking.

Despite the painful injury, Kirkpatrick continued to play for the rest of the celebrity softball game, which was part of the Rock 'N Jock fundraiser.

"Tell them I think I hurt my hand in the second or third inning and I just didn't want to be pulled from the game," Kirkpatrick told Fox News Digital. "So I tried not to flinch every time I threw the ball back to the pitcher. Plus, the radio guy that ran into me, was so nice. I hope he got the end of it."

According to the Folds of Honor website, the nonprofit organization helps provide the families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders with educational scholarships.

Justin Timberlake was in the middle of a hyped up run through his signature 2002 solo hit "Cry Me a River" on Saturday night at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas when he spotted someone in the audience who appeared to be in distress. As the band continued to play, a TikTok video of the moment showed JT repeatedly looking to the side and pointing with urgency to a spot on the floor as audience members motioned to someone about 25 feet from the stage who was seemingly in need of help.

As the band kept vamping, security waded into the crowd and Timberlake requested that the house lights be brought up so they could see where the issue was. "House lights up, thank you. Sorry everybody, one second, one second. We need some assistance here about five rows back," Timberlake said looking concerned.

"Are we okay?" he asked after a brief pause before giving a thumbs up and saying, "no, no problem" and clapping it up for a crisis seemingly averted. The TikTok of the moment featured a note that read, "do you have the full video? That was the lady in front of me. She is okay. Thankfully ppl near to us were drs and attended to her while we got Justin's attention."

*NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick has roots in pop music, but he's now living in the heart of country.

The singer moved to Nashville eight years ago with his wife, and in a new interview, he tells Fox News Digital about what drew him to Music City.

I don't know what took us so long to get here," he admitted. "We've been here eight years now, and, just the town, it's a beautiful town."

"I'm talking about the experience," he continued. "I'm talking about, you know, what we get in the whole package that is Nashville."

Britney Spears has an old friend ready and willing to lend support if she ever needs it.

Chris Kirkpatrick, a former member of smash hit boy band *NSYNC, knew Spears 25 years ago when they were both ruling the pop music charts, and now he tells Fox News Digital that even though they're no longer close, he's still here for her.

"I haven't been close to her," he admitted before saying, "If she ever needed to talk to anyone or anything, you know, I'm here."

He continued, "Other than that, it is what it is. Everybody deals with things in their own way. And, you know, I just hope that she's OK and everything's all right because for a while, it was like, 'Hey, free Britney, get her out of this conservatorship.' And she gets out of it. And then, you know, she posts some crazy stuff, but it is what it is. And it's her life. And it's not my business to get involved in it."

Kirkpatrick, who spoke to Fox News Digital with Brian McFayden, co-host of his "Name Drop" podcast, also recalled sharing a special moment with Spears back in the day.

"I filmed something for one of her tours that she did," he said. "I dressed in drag and acted like her hairstylist or something ... or no, I think I pretended to be her. And when I turned around, and it was me, I'm sure [I] got a lot of gasps on that one because I'm not a very attractive woman."

Paris Hilton kicked off Pride Month by sharing several photos from her Night Of 1000 Parises event on her Instagram account on Saturday.

The social media figure went on to include a photo that showed her posing in between Lance Bass and his husband, Michael Turchin.

The *NSYNC member kept it classy while wearing a light brown jacket and matching pants, as well as a low-cut black t-shirt to the event.

The Beaches WeHo team has unveiled an exciting new venture, Beaches Tropicana, set to take over the former Heart WeHo location at 8911 Santa Monica Boulevard. Heart's original partners - *NSYNC star Lance Bass and Paul Nicholls - will be joining the Beaches team as a result and are no longer affiliated with Heart according to the WeHo Times.

A post on Beaches WeHo's Instagram says the Tropicana outpost will be the brand's new flagship headquarters, and will combine "a full-service Cuban-American restaurant with an entertainment venue where you can dine, dance, and enjoy top-notch performances all in one place." The post also says that the existing Beaches WeHo location at 8928 Santa Monica Blvd will also be getting a makeover and will transform into Beaches Baja "with a fresh new vibe and an exciting new Tex-Mex menu."

Jessica Biel is leaning into life out of the spotlight with husband Justin Timberlake and their kids.

The actress and author, 42, opened up about her family's decision to move away from Los Angeles so their family could have a sense of "normalcy," during an episode of SiriusXM's Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa on May 22.

Biel explains that in major cities, it was hard to go anywhere without being recognized in public, especially with their two sons, Phineas, 3½, and Silas, 9.

"I don't really think they necessarily respect that, you know, if we're out and about with our kids," she says, referring to fans and paparazzi. "It can be somewhat country dependent, where if we're in this country, in the States, it's kind of like state by state, you know. You get hammered on the East Coast, you kind of get hammered on the West Coast. That's why we don't really live there anymore."

The actress acknowledges she and Timberlake's work has "this major public facing element" but says, "It's just trying to create some normalcy for these kids, and we want to share our family with our loved ones and friends."

*NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick is stirring the pot ... telling TMZ, talks about getting the band back together are indeed heating up.

Chris says he's definitely had lengthy discussions with JT, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone about the band's future -- and it's just a matter of getting everyone on the same page about what they wanna do next.

He confirms to us they're working on it, and it's not a categorical no to a stage comeback -- much to the delight of tour promoters and music labels eager to cash in on the guys getting back together.

CK says if they were to reunite, it would be all fun and games 'cause when all 5 of them are in the same room, it feels like no time has passed in 25 years.

Pop singer/dancer Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and a boy band lineup is the latest show to be announced at the soon to open UP District Festival Field in Fargo. The show will be held on July 19.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone and the Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean are bringing their "A Legendary Night" tour to the Las Vegas Strip this summer.

The two multi-platinum artists will take the stage at the Venetian Theatre inside the Venetian Resort on Friday, Aug. 2, 2024, at 8:30 p.m.

"I've known AJ as long as I've known my band members. We've worked together in the past on one-off projects here and there but never had the opportunity to create something together. This tour gives us the chance to combine the best of both musical worlds. I hope our fans are ready for a show that'll take them on a journey through the magic of *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and everything in between. I thought we would just do a few shows to have some fun but the response so far has been humbling, to say the least."

Boy band enthusiasts should prepare themselves for a night of comedy, music, and intimate conversations of never-before-told stories from their time on the road. The duo will perform classic songs and iconic dances from their respective boy bands together, while accompanied by a seven-piece live band.

McLean states, "I'm so excited to head out for this round of dates with my friend Joey. The perfect chance to listen to old favorites and share some special new songs that our loyal fans will be the first to hear!"

Joey Fatone is back on tour - but not with *NSYNC.

Fatone's currently hitting the road with Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean, and tells Page Six Style it's been "a blast" reliving his boy band days.

"We sing each other's songs, we tell stories," says the Skrewball Whiskey ambassador, sharing that the duo's set list includes not only *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys tunes, but also other '90s and 2000s hits like Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy."

As for whether fans can expect another *NSYNC reunion sometime soon? Fatone says he's been chatting with bandmates Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez and "seeing if there's something on the table that everybody can agree upon."

"Is it new music? Is it a tour? Is it new music and a tour? Do we just tour? Like, what exactly is it?" he says. "We don't 100% know yet, but once we know, I'm sure everybody else will know."

It was a star-studded weekend in Las Vegas full of concerts and birthday celebrations across The Strip.

Singer Lance Bass was spotted celebrating his 45th birthday with 30 close friends at Fuhu at Resorts World Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Bass was also spotted attending former *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake as he performed at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, Columbia fans hoping to see Justin Timberlake in the Capital City are going to have to change their plans.

Though the musical superstar planned to visit Colonial Life Arena on June 8 as part of his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour, TicketMaster updated the event's page on Thursday saying the event was cancelled. Timberlake's website also shows an updated schedule with no performance on June 8 or mention of Columbia.

The former lead vocalist of *NSYNC will be stopping for a show in Tulsa on June 6 before heading straight to Atlanta for a June 10 performance.

No statement has been released on why this tour date was cancelled. Refunds are being sent to those who have already purchased tickets. TicketMaster said the refunds should appear on customers' accounts within two to three weeks.

Two members of iconic "boy bands" are heading to Northeast Ohio for "A Legendary Night" later this summer.

Joey Fatone of *NSYNC and AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys have joined forces for a tour that will make a stop at MGM Northfield Park on Thursday, August 22. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 10 at 10 a.m. Click here for presale information and to purchase your tickets.

Fatone and McLean will be bringing their fan-favorite number-one hits to MGM Northfield Park "for a nostalgic and unforgettable experience." They will come together on one stage to perform a variety of classic songs and boy band dances accompanied by a seven-piece live band.

"I've known AJ as long as I've known my own band members. We've worked together in the past on one- off projects here and there but never had the opportunity to create something together," Fatone said in a release. "This tour gives us the chance to combine the best of both musical worlds. I hope our fans are ready for a show that'll take them on a journey through the magic of *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and everything-in-between. "I thought we would just do a few shows to have some fun, but the response so far has been humbling to say the least."

In addition to music, fans can expect Fatone and McLean to provide "a night of comedy and intimate conversations of never before-told stories from their time on the road."

"I'm so excited to head out for this round of dates with my friend Joey," McLean added. "The perfect chance to listen to old favorites and share some special new songs that our loyal fans will be the first to hear!"

Lance Bass is more *NSYNC with his health than ever before.

These days, the iconic boy band alum, now 45, is "obsessed" with pickleball. He has also discovered the power of broccoli and some other nutrient-rich vegetables to stabilize his blood sugar, he told Business Insider in an interview.

"I'm really focused on giving myself an extra few years," Bass said.

Bass said he's making up for lost time: The way he was living in his 20s took a toll on his body. He wishes he'd done more to prepare his body for middle age.

"I wish I could go back and just be a little more gentle with myself. I'm definitely feeling some of those things in my later age."

"Looking back now, I see a lot of horrible habits that I created because of being on the road. When you're onstage three hours a night dancing your butt off, you can really eat anything you want, or at least you thought you could," he said.

Now, his goal is to live a long, healthy life for his kids (and future grandkids) according to Bass, who balances family life with a busy career including TV and film production.

It also means fans will get the best possible version of him when *NSYNC eventually reunite - and we got a preview of that in March, when Justin Timberlake hosted a surprise *NSYNC reunion during a concert in LA. "I've been prepping for this for years, so I'm ready to go. There are no plans right now, but I think the future is bright for *NSYNC," Bass said.

Speaking to BI about his health, fitness, and partnership with allergy relief brand Allegra, Bass offered a glimpse into how he's keeping fit in his 40s with time-saving workouts and healthy eating hacks.

Lance Bass is kicking off the month of May with a special collaboration. The singer teamed with Marriott Bonvoy for a one-of-a-kind dance experience that *NSYNC fans won't want to miss.

Announced Wednesday (May 1), the private dance experience is part of Marriott Bonvoy Moments' 1-Point Drops, where members can use just 1 point to bid on epic experiences.

"I was excited for this opportunity with Marriott, so I can connect with the fans and do something super exclusive with them and of course, we're going to do some amazing, fun dancing together," Bass said in a phone interview with Billboard on Monday. "I won't tell you exactly the song we're going to do, but it's a one-hour dance class where we let go of all our inhibitions, dance like nobody's watching, and have a really fun time.

"And of course, we're going to take center stage for a final performance all together," he added. "It'll be fun."

Gateway for Cancer Research - a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to funding innovative, Phase I and Phase II cancer trials - celebrated the 2024 Gateway Celebrity Fight Night 30th Anniversary, an Emerald Ball on Saturday, April 27 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.

More than $3 million was raised in a single night. Thanks to generous underwriting by Gateway for Cancer Research chairs Dr. Stacie J. and Mr. Richard J Stephenson, 100% of proceeds directly fund these early-phase clinical trials, a press release stated.

Gateway Celebrity Fight Night drew actors, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists and leading medical professionals to raise funds for early-phase cancer trials, as they are often overlooked and underfunded. These trials often mark the first human studies of promising new cancer drugs and therapies.

Michael Bublé, Grammy Award winning singer, headlined the event, with additional performances by Fight Song singer-songwriter Rachel Platten, and *NSYNC members Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick.

"Everybody knows somebody who has been affected by cancer in some way, shape or form," Fatone, whose mother is a cancer survivor, told the Independent on the red carpet. "For me, obviously, it's definitely near and dear to my heart. And the Stephensons is a great family, great partnership in what they do, so it's hard to say no."

"The fact that everything goes to charity, that's unheard of," Kirkpatrick said. "Normally it's like a large portion goes to charity. Every dollar goes right to cancer research and that's very admirable. All these amazing people are here. I'm just honored to be a part of it."

The black-tie event featured a cocktail reception, silent auction, elegant dinner and exciting live auction including one-of-a-kind luxury items. For more information about Gateway for Cancer Research, visit https://www.gatewaycr.org.

In the early 2000s, *NSYNC dominated the charts the way Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande do today. The group - comprised of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass - helped pave the way for other artists like the Jonas Brothers and One Direction in the mid-aughts to early '10s.

But it's been a hot minute since acts like *NSYNC were aplenty. American boy bands who do it all - sing *and* dance - have all but disappeared... but that doesn't mean they can't make a comeback. And with large corners of TikTok being dedicated to singing, dancing, and boy bands from overseas, Bass believes Gen Z is ready for a true boy band revival.

Nowadays, K-pop groups like BTS and Stray Kids are "killing it," Bass tells Elite Daily, but he also says, "It's time for America to come snatch that crown back." Recently, *NSYNC had a brief reunion for Trolls Band Together, leaving fans begging for more. "I had no idea that the younger generations would love the '90s," Bass says, and with throwback trends like low-rise jeans and mesh making their return to the fashion world, it's as though the Y2K era is here again.

The self-proclaimed guncle (aka gay uncle) is embracing the return of the 2000s by partnering with Marriott Bonvoy Moments' 1-Point Drops platform to give lucky fans a very *NSYNC-inspired experience that includes a dance class with TikTokers Cost n' Mayor in Los Angeles this summer. TikTok has been especially helpful in expanding Bass' fanbase beyond just nostalgic millennials.

Below, the "It's Gonna Be Me" crooner uses his humor and life experience to share the 21 lessons he wishes he knew at the height of *NSYNC's fame - when he was around the same age as his new followers.

Today is April 30, which means, yes, "It's gonna be May."

The iconic line and endless memes that come with it started circulating decades ago, as *NSYNC fans honed in on group's distinct singing of the world "me" in the band's hit "It's Gonna Be Me," and paired it with pictures of Justin Timberlake doing ... just about anything.

"There was the one meme that was like, Justin looking like he was dressed up in something from the Night's Watch from Game of Thrones and I sent him one of those," bandmate Joey Fatone tells PEOPLE of the band's group chat antics come April 30 each year. "It was really funny. Every once in a while, one of us will find a good one and we'll send it on the group text."

As Fatone remembers, "it wasn't even a thing" when the song first came out in 2000. "It was just, 'It's gonna be me.' When you sing it, it sounds a lot harsher if you're trying to go, 'It's gonna be meeeee.' It doesn't sound very good to the ear. So when we pronounced it, [producer] Max Martin came up with the idea of saying, 'It's gonna be May.' But we never knew that it was going to take off and become its own thing. And every year you get crazy stuff. But it's hilarious. And we might as well embrace it."

Joey Fatone is back on tour. Not with the boys of *NSYNC, with whom Fatone reunited with recently for a song on Justin Timberlake's album, but with AJ McLean. Yes, that AJ McLean, of the Backstreet Boys, who were notoriously held up as the rivals to Fatone's *NSYNC throughout the '90s. For the record, any member of either boy band would deny there was ever such a rivalry, chalking it up to a fabricated lie by the media to sell tabloids. Watching Fatone belt out Backstreet Boys bops or McLean doing *NSYNC choreo during their A Legendary Night tour, which runs through July 2024, ought to fully put that notion to bed.

During a month-long hiatus from hitting the stage, the 47-year-old is keeping busy. He's been bopping around the country, and for horse racing season, he'll be hitting up Louisville on May 4 as a partner of Skrewball Whiskey. GQ caught up with Fatone a few hours before he was scheduled to head to yet another event, taking a call from his barber chair, mid-haircut, to chat the Fastest Two Minutes in Sports, his non-existent workout, and pre- and post-show routines.

Lance Bass broke out a classic *NSYNC song for a luxurious wedding!

Bass, 44, gave an impromptu performance on Friday, April 26, while attending the wedding of Bilt Rewards CEO Ankur Jain and Erika Hammond, an ex-WWE wrestler and creator of KNOCKOUT at Equinox.

The boy band alum, accompanied to the extravagant wedding by his husband Michael Turchin, jumped on stage, grabbed the microphone and gave guests a surprise performance of *NSYNC's "Bye, Bye, Bye," which was released 24 years ago.

The third-annual 8AM Golf Invitational presented by Justin Timberlake returned to the Wynn Las Vegas last weekend - and the field was, well, star-studded. JT and Jimmy Fallon tried to defend their two-man scramble title; Blake Griffin made his first appearance with a championship (and retirement party) on his mind; and a slew of celeb karaoke performances stole the show to cap off a great weekend in Sin City.

I was lucky enough to be among the (non-celebrity!) attendees. After a few days to reflect on my time at the event, here are the 10 takeaways that stuck with me.

Skrewball Whiskey, the original peanut butter whiskey, has announced a partnership with Joey Fatone, the multitalented entertainer and member of *NSYNC, to "Skrew the Usual" when it comes to celebrating the upcoming horse racing season and the sport's big race in Kentucky this May.

As someone who consistently stands out when it comes to his race day fashion - it's Fatone's 22nd year attending the Kentucky Derby - the brand is joining forces with the singer to create a very special hat that's perfect for race day.

"Horse racing is an iconic part of the summer season, and we're thrilled to be part of it as we partner with the incredibly talented Joey Fatone," said Skrewball Whiskey co-founder, Steven Yeng. "At Skrewball, we're always looking for fresh and exciting ways to engage with consumers. Teaming up with Joey allows us to amplify that ethos and bring it to life in dynamic new ways."

A statement posted on WEHO TIMES' Instagram account @weho_times reveals that *NSYNC singer and entrepreneur Lance Bass is no longer a partner at Heart WeHo. He weighed in on the recent attack of customer Albert Martinez, a hairdresser who was found unconscious outside the club with two skull fractures, bruised lungs, and scratches on his arms and legs. The attack, captured in surveillance video, led to the arrest of a bouncer hired by Heart WeHo via a third-party security company, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

Lance Bass posted the following:

"Wow! This news really weighs on me. I found out about this incident recently, having stepped away from Heart months ago. It's truly disheartening. Violence, in any shape or form, is just unacceptable, and my thoughts go out to Albert, his friends/family, and anyone who had to witness this disturbing altercation.

When I first joined Heart, my mission was clear: to foster a place where people could find safety, have a good time, and were able to truly be themselves. It's incredibly distressing to realize that there are individuals who act without restraint or an ethical compass, posing potential threats to others. It's a stark reminder for us all to remain vigilant and ensure the safety of everyone in our communities. We really need to have each other's backs. My heart hurts for everyone involved."

Pop star Justin Timberlake is investing in an exclusive 18-hole golf course set to open in Music City later this year.

The former *NSYNC lead singer, actor, and avid golfer is collaborating with 8AM Golf to create Bounty Club, a private club spanning 363 acres.

According to Bounty Club's website, the course is set up at a "secluded" location 15 minutes from downtown. The King-Collins designed course will feature a Pfeffer Torode clubhouse.

It will also offer "stunning and unobstructed views of Nashville's iconic skyline from four elevated vantage points, providing a unique and unmatched golfing experience for its highly curated membership."

"I hope I can do the same one day," Joey Fatone thought while watching the Backstreet Boys play one of their first major gigs in the early '90s. The Florida-based boy band were finding their feet in the music industry, while Fatone was yet to discover his own boy band path with *NSYNC.

"I remember seeing them perform at SeaWorld Orlando, way back before Brian [Littrell] joined the group, and I thought, 'Wow, they're going to fulfill their dream. I hope I can do the same,'" recalls Fatone, who would develop lifelong friendships with the band and has just launched a tour with BSB's AJ McLean, despite the groups being touted as rivals throughout the years. McLean was also in the audience at *NSYNC's recent L.A. reunion during Justin Timberlake's show at the Wiltern. "I love that we have this friendship now and wish we had it when we first met because we could've done a lot more together. They're great guys and great entertainers."

Being great entertainers not only helped McLean, Littrell, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter reach dizzying heights of success by the late '90s - and the quintet has weathered the post-pandemonium decades as well, racking up Grammy nominations, sellout tours a major Las Vegas residency and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Now, as they prepare to wrap up their 30th anniversary celebrations with April's 'Backstreet's Back at the Beach' fan vacation at Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico, we chatted to friends, family members, musicians, colleagues and even former flames to uncover behind-the-scenes stories from the group's 30-year run.

Justin Timberlake isn't being selfish with sneak peeks from his upcoming Forget Tomorrow World Tour. As the pop star gears up to hit the road again, he took a moment to share a carousel of photos from his recent rehearsals with followers via Instagram on Wednesday (April 17).

The photos find the "Mirrors" singer standing onstage as his band and crew assemble around him. One snap shows Timberlake looking at a gigantic image of himself blown up on the screen backdropping the stage, while another captures the former boy bander finding his place underneath two conjoining spotlights.

*NSYNC singer Lance Bass says the band could get back together in the future to collaborate on more music. Bass sat down with Access Daily's Kit Hoover and guest co-host Zuri Hall after the band reunited onstage in Los Angeles back in March. This was the first time since 2013 that the group had performed together, which Bass said was bandmate Justin Timberlake's idea. "He wanted us to be a part of the 'Trolls 3' movie, and so we did that song together and it just kind of started the ball rolling of, like, well, you want to record something else?" he explained. When asked if the band might make new music or perform in a show in the future he added, "there's a chance." Also, Bass is partnering up with Allegra Airways. "They came up with this new amazing navigational tool. It's a map. You go to, Airwaysallegra.com, and it maps out your day to avoid those big pollen areas and things you're allergic to." Plus, the singer talked about wanting to see more gay dating shows. He shared his idea for one and said he'd love to host it.

As Lance Bass looks back on coming out as gay in PEOPLE in 2006, he remembers feeling nervous, then relieved.

He also remembers getting a gift basket from Elton John himself.

But before the *NSYNC member received the sweet gift from the "Tiny Dancer" singer, now 77, Bass, now 44, had to decide whether or not to address the speculation about his sexuality that was heating up nearly two decades ago.

"Of course there were rumors, but that was also at a time where social media wasn't so much of a thing and you could actually have more of a private life," Bass says in the new issue of PEOPLE. "No one was taking pictures everywhere you went. So it was kind of easy for me to live this kind of private life."

"I had a boyfriend, my circle of friends knew about me, and I just didn't think [my sexuality] was such a big deal," recalls Bass.

Justin Timberlake's latest single, "Selfish," off his newly launched album, Everything I Thought It Was, has skyrocketed to the number one spot on Hot AC Radio. This achievement marks Timberlake's third chart-topper at the format.

Just last week, "Selfish" secured a position on the Top 10 published U.S. Pop Radio chart by Mediabase, making it Timberlake's 19th solo track to reach the Top 10. The success of "Selfish" underscores Timberlake's enduring influence and popularity in the music industry.

JT is gearing up for his tour, which will rotate through fan streaming providers. It is apparently going to be his most extensive tour ever.

According to Complex, the tour has already brought in over $140 million across the 70 global shows. That's one million Justin Timberlake fans at the shows.

Timberlake has announced the European and UK leg of his highly anticipated The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will feature thirteen new shows across eight countries, including Poland, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and France.

Joey Fatone and AJ "Alex" McLean are teaming up to bring *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys fans together for their "A Legendary Night" tour.

"Extra's" Carlos Greer spoke with Joey and AJ about that recent surprise *NSYNC reunion performance at Justin Timberlake's L.A. show, which brought out celebs including Travis Kelce.

AJ was able to witness the "special moment," saying, "I was there. The screams were unlike anything decibel-wise. I wish to God I had earplugs in at that moment."

As for being onstage, Joey marveled, "It was like we rose from the dead. It literally was a complete surprise. I mean, nobody really had no clue, which I think was really cool."

He continued, "It opened up, I think, all of our eyes to go, 'Maybe we should do something. The fans are there for us, we can't thank them enough. It's crazy that they've been with us that long."

Lance Bass dropped by the show this week to talk all about the brand new *NSYNC song we're all about to get our hands in when the new Justin Timberlake album comes out on March 15th! That track is called 'Paradise' and will be the second new *NSYNC song they've released in the past year. So be on the look out for that, his new Edward Scissorhands musical and his Halloween themed kids book 'Trick or Treat on Scary Street'! Listen back to the full interview below and be sure to check back here March 15th to hear 'Paradise'!

LISTEN:

*NSYNC hasn't released music on their own in decades. Since Justin Timberlake left the boy band to explore a solo career, the group has been all but defunct-but lately, they've been mounting something of a comeback, thanks to their collaborations with the singer. This week, the entire outfit is back on a Billboard chart, scoring another quick win with their latest release.

As Timberlake's new album Everything I Thought It Was reaches a number of lists, *NSYNC joins the pop superstar on a very special hit. The boy band is back on the Digital Song Sales chart with "Paradise," which appears on that just-released set. The tune is credited as Timberlake featuring the group, so he's technically on the track in two forms.

"Paradise" opens at No. 7 on this week's Digital Song Sales chart. According to Luminate, the track sold 7,803 copies in its first full frame of availability. It earns the third-highest debut of the frame, coming in behind new launches from Cardi B and BTS singer V.

With "Paradise," *NSYNC instantly doubles their total count of hits on the Digital Song Sales chart. Before this week, the band had only collected one hit, and they managed that win in a very similar fashion.

Last year, Timberlake put the band back together for a one-off single. "Better Place" was written and recorded for the latest Trolls film, as Timberlake has handled the music for the series since its inception a decade ago. "Better Place" gave *NSYNC their first hit on the Digital Song Sales chart, which was introduced years after the group split.

"Better Place" peaked at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart in October 2023. Now, the Grammy-nominated vocal group has secured a second top 10 hit. The band's only two placements on the purchase-focused tally have brought them to the loftiest tier on the list, which is an impressive track record.

Justin Timberlake's Everything I Thought It Was era is fully upon us, and the superstar celebrated his freshly released sixth studio album by opening the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on Monday night (April 1).

Starting off sitting on a metal barrel alongside one of his band members, JT delivered a heartwarming performance of his EITIW lead single, "Selfish," playing the acoustic guitar as he sang the romantic lyrics in a stripped-back rendition of the track.

It was then time to kick it up a notch, with the full band stepping into full gear and Timberlake taking center stage to perform the sultry "No Angels" against a wild, wild west background full of cacti, a sunset and saloon props.

Timberlake's "Selfish" debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning Timberlake his highest debut in six years on the tally. EITIW also includes a long-awaited reunion from *NSYNC, called "Paradise," and the full band performed the track onstage at Timberlake's one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles last month.

Lance Bass is celebrating Easter in style.

On Sunday the *NSYNC alum, 44, share photos to Instagram from his colorful holiday celebrations with his husband Michael Turchin and their twins, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty.

"Hoppy Easter from our fam to yours!!" he wrote.

His post led with a photo of he and Turchin as they sat with their kids on their laps, each posing in colorful "egg hunting squad" pajamas as they looked through their Easter baskets. Turchin, 37, wore a pink hoodie and green sweatpants, while Bass coordinated in pastels (specifically purple sweatpants, a blue sweatshirt and pint hair).

Their baskets were packed with gifts including activities books and candy.

They also got balloons, which both seemed to love. Bass' post included pictures of Alexander James and Violet Betty holding the inflatables, which included characters from Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol.

Justin Timberlake is back on the Billboard charts this week with his new album Everything I Thought It Was. The set arrives on a number of rankings, and while it doesn't reach the same heights as his past projects, the title does help him land on a tally he's never appeared on before.

Everything I Thought It Was is new to the Top Streaming Albums chart, where it launches at No. 18. The title marks the first appearance on the list of the most-streamed full-lengths in the country for Timberlake.

While he may be one of the biggest male pop solo stars in the world, Timberlake spaces his releases out across several years. In between his last effort, 2018's Man of the Woods, and Everything I Thought It Was, Billboard introduced the Top Streaming Albums chart. The former *NSYNC singer is not the only well-known figure who is just now reaching the tally - far from it, in fact. Many famous artists and bands have recently collected their first wins on this relatively new roster.

Everything I Thought It Was scores the third-highest debut of the week on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Kacey Musgraves earns the loftiest entrance, as Deeper Well starts at No. 10. Hip-hop musician BossMan Dlow's Mr. Beat the Road is new at No. 17 on this week's list.
