When Lance Bass heard no one had done the “777 challenge” yet at the Giving Machine in Los Angeles, he said “It’s Gonna Be Me.”

The *NSYNC star was at The Grove in Los Angeles for its annual Christmas tree lighting, which Bass hosted.

The red carpet for the star-studded event was next to the Light the World Giving Machines, Kristin Samuelian, the area director for the Southern California Giving Machines, told the Deseret News.

“It was amazing to me how many of these celebrities, again, organically, came over to see what was going on, and as soon as you tell them — I mean, you get one or two sentences out, and they love it,” Samuelian said.

Bass was one of the celebrities who made his way over to the Giving Machines, where he learned about the “777 Challenge.”

“Christmas definitely came early this year, and I'm still processing everything, because these past four months have been quite overwhelming,” he told us at the 24th Annual Christmas at The Grove Tree Lighting Celebration Presented by FOX 11.

With all the attention and stardom thrust upon him, Woo was grateful to share the stage Monday night with fellow boyband stars Nick Carter and Lance Bass at the Christmas at The Grove Tree Lighting Celebration.

“It was like the trifecta of the boy bands, Nick Carter, Lance Bass, and it's like for me to be alongside them, and sharing the stage is a dream come true,” he said.

He added Bass has “given me so much good advice, just anywhere from how to deal with fame and like social media and just like keeping your head space in a very healthy, you know, just kind of mentality. And he's been really supportive.”

Emmy-winning actor Noah Wyle will reign as monarch for the Krewe of Orpheus parade on Feb. 16, the krewe announced Wednesday (Nov. 19).

The krewe also announced that five previous Orpheus monarchs -- Joey Fatone, Will Forte, Jimmi Simpson, Jonathan Silverman and Jennifer Finnegan -- also will ride in the 2026 parade, joining krewe captain Sonny Borey on the Captain’s Galleon float.

The Backstreet Boys have already been crushing it at Sphere in Las Vegas the past year (with more shows to come), so could *NSYNC follow in their footsteps?

“I mean, who knows?” Lance Bass told us at 24th Annual Christmas at The Grove Tree Lighting Celebration Presented by FOX 11. “No, we haven't spoken about anything, but I think it's every artist's dream at this point to do Sphere.”

He continued, “It is just a magical experience. I'm going back to see the Boys at the end of December. I'm actually gonna go see them again in March, because you have to see it about three times to be able to take it all in.”

Lance hosted the festive evening at The Grove in Los Angeles, which featured performances by Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, plus Dasha, Natalie Jane, Loud Luxury, Kevin Woo, Nicolas Petricca of Walk The Moon, Liamani and Straight No Chaser.

Former *NSYNC vocalist Lance Bass will be the celebrity guest at next month's Palm Springs Aerial Tramway tree lighting ceremony, officials announced today.

The annual event will be held at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 7 at One Tramway.

The festivities will begin with the city's High School Madrigal Choir performing holiday songs, followed by Bass lighting a 45-foot-tall tree composed of more than 4,000 LED lights, which officials said ``can be seen throughout the Coachella Valley.''

Bass sang bass for the popular boy band in the late 1990s and early 2000s. More recently, he has appeared in a number of films, television shows and podcasts, and created the children's book, ``Trick or Treat on Scary Street,'' with his husband Michael Turchin.

Church People (2021)

Arriving on Netflix on December 7, 2025, Church People is a heartfelt and laugh-out-loud faith-based comedy starring Thor Ramsey and Joey Fatone. The story follows Guy Sides, America’s youth pastor, who feels stuck in the mega-church marketing machine and yearns to rediscover his passion for authentic ministry. With a mix of sincere struggles, awkward comedic moments, and a powerful message about faith, the film offers a fresh look at the challenges within church culture, making it ideal for viewers seeking humor with a spiritual twist for the holidays.

Lance Bass says the only way a potential *NSYNC biopic is ever getting off the ground is if he's a producer ... and he's already got an idea for how to tell the band's story.

We got Lance at LAX on a rainy Friday afternoon, and our photog asked him about a much-talked-about biopic that hasn't quite gotten off the ground.”

Lance says it may well happen down the line, but he explains why there are some major hurdles to clear.

If it ever comes to fruition, though, he's not sure sure who should play him on the big screen ... joking with us that he needs to bone up on the younger generation of actors before he can confidently make a pick.

We broke the story ... the biopic stalled because the guys just weren't sold on the pitch or the producer behind it. Justin Timberlake's manager brought the idea to the band after "Fast & Furious" producer Neal H. Moritz started shopping it around.

But Lance is doubling down ... it's a non-starter unless he's a producer.

We also asked Lance about the most dramatic *NSYNC moment that's got to be part of any biopic ... and he picked a very messy legal situation.

DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in glucose biosensing, today unveiled 16 new diabetes advocates to represent people living with diabetes globally as part of Dexcom’s World Diabetes Day campaign.

The advocates – ranging from ages six to 68, spanning various types of diabetes, and hailing from four continents and five countries – were selected from 1,000 open call submissions based on their experiences advocating for people with diabetes in their communities. While each person’s experience with diabetes is unique, they share a common passion for advocacy – and use of Dexcom’s glucose biosensing technology.

This effort represents the first time Dexcom has sourced voices from the broader diabetes community specifically for its World Diabetes Day campaign, reinforcing Dexcom’s history of and commitment to giving real people with diabetes a platform to share their story on a global stage.

To prepare for the spotlight, the group of advocates met in Los Angeles for a World Diabetes Day photoshoot which included a surprise visit from Grammy-nominated artist, actor, producer and Dexcom Warrior Lance Bass and author, producer, actress and Stelo* Ambassador Retta. This visit offered the advocates an opportunity to exchange stories and personal perspectives on the meaning of diabetes advocacy and how they live it each day.

Lance Bass has completely transformed into a Christmas enthusiast and has also made it known that he will be the best man to preside over the 24th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration at The Grove, which is scheduled for the 17th of November. The former *NSYNC singer is especially loved for his participation at the live event which will be aired on Fox11, and he has already made his huge audience feel the Christmas cheer early through a humorous video. His love for holiday decorations is well known.

The holiday cheer has come upon Lance Bass too soon, but he could not be happier. The presenter would communicate his excitement for the lighting of the Christmas tree at The Grove through his Instagram post in which, along with a little but very cute video that showed his energetic mood, he said “Holiday mode: ACTIVATED”. The video has him moving to the music with joyous abandon, which is a hint of the holiday atmosphere that he is going to bring to the renowned LA shopping center. The event has been a part of the LA holiday calendar for a long time, and this year the special guest Mr. Bass promises nothing but nostalgia and fun.

With the help of Ancestry.com, Lance Bass, pop star of the boy band *NSYNC, recently learned he may have gotten his dance moves from his Marine veteran grandfather.

“My papa was a dance hall manager, which makes sense because he loved to dance,” Lance chuckled. “He loved to square dance.”

Elza “Shorty” Pulliam, Lance’s maternal grandfather, served in World War II and the Korean War, and was a quiet veteran who rarely talked about his time in service. Lance grew up in “a proud military family,” but has been able to dive deeper into his family’s military history by partnering with Ancestry.com — the world’s largest genealogy company that is honoring Veterans Day by offering free access to more than 200 million WWII-era records from Nov. 10 – Nov. 12. Utilizing the vast category of military records, Lance has discovered details like Shorty managing a dance hall, and found both of his grandfathers’ military photos and enlistment cards.

“I was excited to kind of get into the military aspect of ancestry, and finding these stories was really great: being able to see the enlistment cards of my grandparents, which I’ve never seen before, and seeing a picture of them at that young of age,” Lance said. “My [paternal] grandfather’s was very interesting because on his enlistment card, he enlisted as a veteran. Already at that young of an age, he got back from serving, and he enlisted already — again — at such a young age as a veteran.”

The former *NSYNC-er shares how unearthed documents brought him closer to the men in his life who served in World War II and helped him see life in a new way

The last time Lance Bass traced his genealogy, he learned that he and fellow pop superstar Britney Spears are distant cousins. This time, he found records about two heroic men near and dear to his heart. “I get to preserve history,” he says. “I’m so happy about it!”

Indeed, though the former *NSYNC-er and reality-show alum has always been proud of his grandfathers’ rich history in the military—James “Jimmy” Bass Sr., now 97, served in World War II; Elza “Shorty” Pulliam, who died in 2020, served in World War II and the Korean War—he was ecstatic to locate both of their long-lost enlistment cards, courtesy of the genealogy site Ancestry. “My family has heard the stories, but we didn’t have a lot of photos of them from that age,” he says. “So to see these cards with their actual signatures on [them] was really just beautiful. It definitely brought my family closer together.”

With Veterans Day approaching on Nov. 11, Bass says he’s extra appreciative of his grandfathers’ grit. Bass Sr. (“Grandaddy”) enlisted in the Navy and served on the USS Harding, where he fed ammunition to a gun shooter. He also re-registered for the war in 1946, two years after he was initially discharged. Pulliam (“Papa”), who enlisted in 1945, was a stoic Marine. “My papa never wanted to talk about it with his family,” he says. “I could tell his experience really affected him.”

Lance Bass, 46, shared the surprising origin story behind iconic ’90s boy band *NSYNC, and it’s not what fans expected. The legendary heartthrob told Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Richard Marx that the music group came to be out of pure “spite” from Chris Kirkpatrick feeling snubbed by the Backstreet Boys.

“He went to college with Howie D… Howie Dorough from the Backstreet Boys,” Bass shared on Marx’s Stories to Tell podcast in November 2025. The duo met at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida, in the early 1990s. “Howie came into class one day and he was like ‘Hey guys, I’ve made this group called the Backstreet Boys and, you know, blahblahblah’,” Bass remembered. The announcement didn’t sit well with Kirkpatrick.

“Chris was like, ‘I didn’t get to audition! What? I would make it before you!'” Bass shared. That’s when Kirkpatrick decided to take matters into his own hands. “He found out Lou Pearlman was the one who put them together, so he cold calls Lou Pearlman and he’s like, ‘If I put a group together, will you fund us?'” Surprisingly, the now-disgraced music producer and manager agreed.

For the last 30 years, Lance Bass has been inexorably famous, known to the general public as one of the five founding members of boundary-breaking boy band *NSYNC. Yet amongst his family, he’s still considered the second-most famous member.

That No. 1 spot among the Bass clan continues to belong to his paternal grandfather Jimmy, an icon in his hometown of Laurel, Miss., thanks to his years of military service during World War II. “He’s so proud of his service, so proud of his family, and so proud of his town,” Bass tells Billboard of his grandfather over a video call. “He’s the famous one in our family, not me. I’m just a little side note.”

Yet while Bass grew up hearing his grandfather’s stories from the front he says it wasn’t until very recently that he got to learn much more about Jimmy Bass’ service in WWII. In his latest partnership with Ancestry as part of the organization’s Thank You for Your Service campaign, Bass got to learn even more about both of his grandfathers’ service in the war.

The new campaign from the genealogy company is designed to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, providing users with free access to over 200 million documents from WWII from Nov. 10 to 12, in honor of Veteran’s Day in the U.S.

Caruso announced the return of its beloved holiday celebrations across Southern California, marking the most wonderful time of the year at its iconic shopping, dining and entertainment destinations. From the tree lighting spectacles at The Grove and The Promenade at Westlake, to magical snowfall at The Americana at Brand and festive visits with Santa and the return of Palisades Village’s holiday celebrations.

Caruso’s holiday programming officially kicked off with the arrival of The Grove’s iconic 100-foot white fir Christmas tree on Oct. 28, traveling from The Original Farmers Market down First Street before being hoisted into position in The Park. The “Christmas at The Grove: 24th Annual Tree Lighting Celebration” returns on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m., hosted by Lance Bass and featuring a lineup of musical performances by Nick Carter, Dasha, Natalie Jane, Loud Luxury, Kevin Woo and Straight No Chaser. In partnership with FOX 11, Chase Freedom and Rivian, the show will feature unforgettable entertainment, a dazzling drone show, the arrival of Santa Claus and the lighting of The Grove’s Christmas tree, culminating in a fireworks finale beneath a blanket of snow.

*NSYNC had been in talks to make a movie about their official story as a boy band, but much like their reunion tour, it is now dead in the water, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

The conversations began in 2023 after Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick released their first song together in two decades, “Better Place” from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, which the insider notes “got a lot of interest” and “spurred” the idea.

“This film/documentary project has been in the works since then and has had many iterations (meaning a scripted film and a behind-the-scenes-style documentary featuring the band),” the source tells Us. “As of now, nothing is proceeding.”

Lance Bass knows it's imperative to spend alone time with his husband, Michael Turchin, amid the chaos.

"It's important to take care of yourself — and to get rest as a parent so you can be present with your kids. We learned that early on, so we're very good at resting! We love our staycations — even if we go down the street to a hotel to have a night to ourselves to check into a hotel and have a spa day. I think that's the best self-care for me, getting a massage or facial; that resets me," the singer, 46, exclusively tells OK! while sharing stories about the discoveries he’s made through Ancestry about his veteran grandfathers and reflecting on the legacies we pass down to future generations ahead of Veterans Day on November 11.

Even if they're "tired" or "don't want to do anything," the pair, who got married in 2014, opt to do something on Saturday nights. "We'll get a sitter. We'll get together with friends, have dinner, have some drinks. I think it's important to stay social as parents because so many times, you lose these friendships because you're so busy with the kids. It's important to have your friends and loved ones around your kids. Our kids are always surrounded by a lot of aunts and uncles. It's an amazing village that is helping raise them," the performer, who shares twins Violet Betty and Alexander James with his husband, dishes.

Chris and Karly Kirkpatrick are celebrating 12 years of marriage!

The *NSYNC band member and his wife marked their 12th wedding anniversary together on Sunday, Nov. 2. The pair tied the knot at an Orlando resort in 2013, and have since welcomed one son together.

Karly, 40, celebrated her anniversary on Instagram. She shared a video full of throwback snaps, selfies, wedding photos and even a clip of Chris singing, which she captioned, "Happy anniversary BBC!!! @iamckirkpatrick."

One candid photo in the post saw Chris, 54, and Karly holding hands as a newly married couple. In the photo, Chris wore a tuxedo and white tie for the occasion, while Karly opted for a strapless mermaid gown. Another snap from their wedding saw the couple grinning ear as they posed for a photo.

*NSYNC Lance Bass and Michael Turchin were the hosts of a Halloween party where the Disney characters had a dark twist. The *NSYNC singer without a doubt shared the photos of the amusingly night and saying “Disney but make it dead fashionable. Mickey most definitely did not approve this.” The couple’s alternative and spooky representation of the Disney giants is causing a lot of buzz among their followers.

The Halloween party named “Dead Disney” theme party was a surprising experience for the couple who dressed up as a Gothic-inspired couple. Even though the characters they were represented as were not explicitly mentioned, the funny caption gave a signal to change the company from the typical innocent Disney to the darker and more elegant side. The party’s atmosphere was rated highly by the guests and many of them were heard applauding and talking about the decorations and the mood.

The guests had a great view; one of them, very excited about it, said, “Wow! What a night! Those decorations were literally out of this world!! Especially Scary Street and the Shark!” By this remark, the guest suggests that the party hosts took Miller’s younger ones, not only by the costumes and guests’ environment, but through making it a great night.

The couple’s costumes were the main attraction. One fan expressed, “I fear that you and Michael have the best costumes,” and it was the prevailing sentiment among the commentators. Another user focused on the comfort and rapport that the couple had saying, “The fact that I can hear you laughing and it matches the look is PERFECTION.” Their comment suggests that the couple was having real joy and fun and their audience was absorbing it.

David Dobrik celebrated Halloween this year with a massive bash attended by all of his friends.

The 29-year-old social media star hosted his annual party on Friday night (October 31) in Los Angeles.

Olympic athlete Shaun White showed up in one of the best costumes, recreating the iconic outfit worn by Darla, the girl at the dentist in the animated Pixar movie Finding Nemo.

JC Chasez was there dressed up as artist Bob Ross, and while not pictured, more celebs in attendance included Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz, and Dixie D’Amelio. Rapper Ty Dolla $ign performed at the event.

Kelly Clarkson is took viewers back to the past with a "sultry" Kellyoke performance for the Halloween episode of her talk show.

On Friday (October 31), the typically modern set of The Kelly Clarkson Show transformed into a black and white 1940s jazz bar as a tribute to classic murder mysteries and film noir made popular at the time, per People. Even her band, My Band Y'all, dressed to the nines for the occasion, wearing white dinner jackets similar to what big band performers would wear during their heyday.

The Kelly Clarkson Show kept the theme going throughout the episode with a murder mystery "whodunit" featuring guests Leanne Morgan, Lance Bass, Amber Ruffin and magician Kid Ace who worked to "solve the case," according to a behind-the-scenes video shared on the talk show's Instagram.

Austin’s restaurant scene is about to get a little more "Cry Me a River" chic.

Pop star Justin Timberlake and restaurateur Sam Fox are teaming up again — this time in Texas. According to the Austin Business Journal, the duo’s Nashville hotspot The Twelve Thirty Club is headed to 210 W. Sixth St., landing inside the city’s old post office building next to the new Indeed Tower.

The space — all 30,000 square feet of it — has been mostly restored on the outside but gutted within, setting the stage for what’s likely to be a dramatic glow-up. The Nashville version, which opened in 2021, is basically a three-story fever dream of live music, moody lighting and midcentury supper club energy.

Fox, whose Fox Restaurant Concepts empire sold to The Cheesecake Factory in 2019, brought Timberlake into the mix for the Nashville debut. The space there seems to ooze “countrypolitan” style. The design was inspired by the blend that defined 1970s Nashville, a vibe that feels kind of perfect for modern-day Austin.

Topco’s Food Club private brand and Feeding America have teamed with music star Lance Bass to amplify their partnership. The Grammy-award-winning member of *NSYNC will make an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Halloween.

“Through Food Club, we’ve established an impactful partnership with a nationally recognized organization like Feeding America, which has enabled us to join the fight to help end hunger by engaging our shoppers with a superstar like Lance,” said Rebecca Calvin, executive vice president and chief marketing officer with Stater Bros. Markets, a Topco member. “This effort has also provided a rare opportunity to put Own Brands in a national spotlight as we work to help eliminate food insecurity through Food Club."

Earlier in October, Bass competed against A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys in a Boy Band Bake-Off to promote Food Club’s partnership with Feeding America. The bake-off challenged the stars to utilize Food Club ingredients to bake and decorate cakes to match notable album covers from the other musician’s career.

Bass recreated the cover for BSB’s “Millennium” and McLean emulated the cover of *NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached.” Fans voted for their favorite cake through social media channels, though ultimately both were declared winners, with each earning a donation in their name to Food Club partner Feeding America.

Chris Kirkpatrick is opening up about the meme swaps in his group chat with fellow *NSYNC members.

While chatting with PEOPLE, Kirkpatrick, 54, admits he and his former bandmates — Justin Timberlake, 44, Joey Fatone, 48, JC Chasez, 49, and Lance Bass, 46 — often reminisce on their early days as a group, saying, "We all talk about it, especially when we're back together or I see the guys."

"I've seen them each a few times this year so far and got to hang out and we talk and we always send stupid memes or whatever," Kirkpatrick says. "When people are making fun of us, that's one of the first things that goes up on our little chat, like, 'Have you seen this one yet?' "

"There's definitely — there's a group chat, there's a me and JC chat, there's a me and Lance chat, there's a me and Joey chat."

Sometimes, the memes are related to the band, though other times, Kirkpatrick says they're just "random."

"Sometimes it's like other random memes or sometimes, it's memes that remind us of each other and we send them and it's fun that we still have that banter with each other — it's just like no time's ever gone on," Kirkpatrick — who is married to Karly Skladany and has an 8-year-old son named Nash Dylan — says.

Kirkpatrick spoke to PEOPLE ahead of his Pop 2000 tour — which featured 2000s superstars, like Brad Fischetti from LFO, O-Town, BBMak and Ryan Cabrera — as part of LadyGang’s LadyWorld retreat in Florida last month.

Lisa Vanderpump is giving a new look at Ken Todd's birthday celebration, where she made him cry for a very sweet reason. The restaurateur celebrated his birthday surrounded by his friends and family members back in July, with the guest list including a surprise visit from his adult son, Warren Todd.

While Ken was born in July, that didn't stop Lisa from posting photos and videos from Ken's birthday celebration to Instagram on Oct. 16 to share a belated look at the bash. In a video from the carousel, Lisa and Ken can be seen wearing their finest party clothes by the pool at their house, Villa Rosa, before she surprised him with "someone very important" to him: his son, Warren. Ken's oldest of three children (from a previous marriage) then proceeded to surprise his dad, hopping out of the party to give him a hug, which left Ken in tears.

In addition to celebrating his birthday with Warren, Ken got to celebrate with their close friend, Lance Bass, whose face popped up in the Instagram carousel as he danced alongside Lisa. The proud grandfather also got to blow out the candles on his birthday cake next to his two grandsons, Teddy Sabo and Greyson Sabo.

Joey Fatone offered up some great advice to Bad Bunny this week ... and he did it all while on the TMZ Sports Live Stream!!

The *NSYNC band member joined Edward Lewis, Lucas Widman and the rest of the newsroom guys and gals on Monday to talk music, sports ... and the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.

Fatone said he really liked the NFL's pick for SB LX -- explaining that while he knows the Bad Bunny selection divided some people, he's actually in favor of the Big Game rotating performers from all kinds of genres.

"Nobody's crying and complaining that pop music ain't out there right now, like, 'Why isn't a boy band out there?'" he said. "You know what I'm saying? I think it's just different styles, different times, different years. So, this year, it's Bad Bunny. Maybe next year? Who knows?"

Lance Bass knows that fans want to know if *NSYNC will be getting back together for a tour, but at the moment he’s got nothing.

“I wish I had some breaking news for you, but no, no news right now,” he recently told CNN.

And that’s OK. What Bass can do at the moment is talk more freely talk about living with diabetes.

He has type 1.5 diabetes, which is also known as latent autoimmune diabetes or LADA.

The star uses Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System to stay on top of his numbers, and has created an online persona known as “Blood Sugar Lance” to educate people about his condition with humor.

The character developed “by accident,” he said.

“We like to have fun on my Instagram and make people laugh,” Bass said. “That’s what my channel is for, to just give some people entertainment and give a little laugh throughout the day ‘cause we’re living in a crazy, crazy time.”

Prior to being able to constantly monitor his blood sugar, Bass said it was difficult to keep up.

Justin Timberlake is taking some time for himself.

After wrapping his Forget Tomorrow World Tour on July 30 and sharing news of his Lyme disease diagnosis the following day, a source tells PEOPLE the "SexyBack" singer, 44, is "focused on healing" at the moment.;

"Since Justin wrapped his tour over the summer, they've focused on family time," says the source. "The tour was rough for everyone. Justin had fatigue, pain and was just exhausted.";

The source continues, "After his Lyme disease diagnosis and powering through the tour, he's been focused on healing and taking care of himself. He's explored treatments and is taking it seriously.";

According to the source, Timberlake — who shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5, with wife Jessica Biel — "wants to be the best dad and husband.";

"Jess is supportive as always," adds the source. "The family has spent time in both Montana and Colorado. They all enjoy the outdoors."

Grab your tissues, because Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying and his husband Mark are officially stepping into their next duet — fatherhood! The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony back in July 2023, just shared the most heartwarming announcement: they’re going to be dads!

In an emotional video posted on Instagram, the pair captured the moment they found out the life-changing news. There are no dramatic edits or over-the-top reveals — just pure, unfiltered joy. As soon as the result sinks in, they collapse into each other’s arms, holding tight as if the entire world disappeared for a moment. The sound you hear next? The collective sob of millions of fans crying happy tears.

The comments section instantly turned into a love fest worthy of a Grammy. Scott’s Dancing with the Stars partner, Rylee Arnold, gushed, “I’m crying you guys!!! You will be the most amazing dads EVER!!!!!” Meanwhile, friends, fans, and fellow celebs flooded the post with love. Lance Bass chimed in with a joyful “Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats boys!!!” while High School Musical alum Lucas Grabeel called it “A true life moment. Beautiful.”

Justin Timberlake joined the loud and passionate chorus of musicians and fans paying tribute to R&B icon D’Angelo following the singer’s death on Tuesday (Oct. 14) at age 51 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

In a heartfelt Instagram Story post on Tuesday night, Timberlake went deep on how much D’Angelo’s music meant to him and inspired his own music, as well as reminiscing about the first time they met. “I’ll never forget hearing Brown Sugar for the first time. It changed me. You changed me,” JT wrote about D’Angelo’s beloved 1995 debut album, which is considered a stone cold neo soul classic thanks to the silky smooth title track and his indelible, languid cover of Smokey Robinson’s 1979 single “Cruisin’.”

“It was the most pivotal moment in establishing confidence in my own voice,” Memphis native Timberlake continued. “For the first time, I heard a sound that reflected the sounds I grew up with — early R&B, but ‘now’ it was intertwined with a modern edge. The chords and arrangement carried a mixture of church/jazz/funk. The harmonies delicately dancing with one another. It sat in my spirit and always will.”

The “SexyBack” singer also had high praise for D’Angelo’s 2000 sophomore album, Voodoo, which critics and fans agreed was well worth the five-year wait thanks to such soul-stirring, slow-cooking burners as “Devil’s Pie,” “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” and the Method Man/Redman team up “Left and Right.”

“And then???! Voodoo??? Where do I begin with this one???,” Timberlake wrote. “Maybe my favorite mixed album of all time. The rawness, that took time to cultivate and process. Created an absolutely transcendent listening experience. The legendary players and collaborators, the sounds, the way it made colors dance around my head. It grabbed me, it shook me, I was changed once again.”

Lance Bass is celebrating his twins’ birthday, and did so with a special message and adorable photos.

“FOUR?! I blinked and suddenly my babies are big kids with opinions and snack demands,” Lance wrote in the caption of an Instagram post he shared on October 13. “Happy 4th birthday to our double trouble, Alexander and Violet.”

He then sent individual messages to the little ones who aren’t so little anymore.

“Violet, my little powerhouse — you somehow manage to sass me and steal my heart at the same time,” he wrote. “And Alexander, my curious explorer — just… maybe chill after 7pm, okay bud?”

He finished his message by writing, “Four years of having you two in our lives and my heart couldn’t be more full. Happy birthday!”

In the accompanying photos, you can see Lance with his husband, Michael Turchin, and their twins. The first photo includes the entire family, while the second photo shows the twins holding hands and spinning around.

The 35th annual Environmental Media Association Awards were handed out on Saturday night, recognizing the greenest projects of the last year.

The ceremony — hosted by reality stars Ariana Madix and Harry Jowsey at Los Angeles’ Radford Studio Center — saw The Wild Robot, The Daily Show, Grey’s Anatomy, The Americas and Common Side Effects among the big winners, celebrated for both their environmental storytelling and sustainable productions.

ByHeart, the next-generation baby formula brand, today announced the launch of The Formula That Answers, a bold new brand campaign designed to support parents through one of the most universal (and sometimes chaotic) experiences of early parenthood: endless questions.

From “Is my baby’s poop normal?” to “Am I doing this right?” new parents face a swirl of uncertainty, late-night Googling, and conflicting advice. ByHeart is stepping in with clarity — and a little humor. The campaign introduces the YOUUP Hotline, a 24/7 text line where parents can submit their biggest, weirdest, or most burning parenting questions to be answered by celebrity parents.

Headlining the campaign are Lance Bass (musician, television personality, and father of twins), Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks point guard and father of two), and Mayci Neely (mom of three and cast member of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives). Together, they’ll invite their communities to text the hotline and receive candid, personalized video responses.

Back in July, Environmental Media Assn. CEO Debbie Levin scheduled a catch-up dinner with *NSYNC singer Lance Bass at Matu in Beverly Hills. Her 41-year-old daughter, Alexx, who came of age at the height of boy band mania, insisted on tagging along. But this didn’t bother Levin in the slightest, for they all knew each other quite well.

Since 2009, Bass has been very active in the nonprofit, which is dedicated to promoting environmental progress in the entertainment industry. He sits on the org’s board alongside his husband, Michael Turchin, and this year he signed on to be the executive producer of its 35th Annual EMA Awards Gala on Oct. 11 at the Radford Studio Center in Studio City. The event is billed as one that “unites environmental leaders and changemakers in entertainment to honor sustainable achievements across the lens and beyond the script.”

As the trio dined and sipped their martinis, it was agreed that with all the darkness and division in the country and around the world, this year’s EMA Awards should embrace pop culture and focus on fun. But soon, as it so often does, the conversation turned to reality television. This was fun for Bass and Alexx. It was not fun for Levin.

“I’m like, ‘You guys, you’re leaving me out of the conversation. I don’t like [reality TV]. I don’t know it,’” recalls Levin.

As part of its 80th anniversary celebration, the Food Club brand recently held a Boy Band Bake-Off featuring Lance Bass—multi-platinum GRAMMY® winner of boy band *NSYNC—and A.J. McLean—member of the eight-time GRAMMY®- nominated music group Backstreet Boys—battling it out in the kitchen for the title of Best Boy Band Baker.

The bake-off challenged the stars to utilize Food Club ingredients to bake and decorate cakes to match notable album covers from the other musician’s career; Bass recreating the cover for BSB’s “Millennium” and McLean emulating the cover of *NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached.” Fans voted for their favorite cake through social media channels, though ultimately both were declared winners, with each earning a donation in their name to Food Club partner Feeding America.

Check out the bake-off video here.

“Partnering with Food Club was a no-brainer,” said Bass. “I grew up with Food Club providing for my family and community. I can still picture, smell, and taste those moments that felt like home. Everyone deserves that same access to good food, and I am proud to play a part in making that possible.”

Justin Timberlake is bringin’ out his suit and tie for this sweet occasion.

The Justified singer celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary with wife Jessica Biel —with whom he shares sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4—by posting a series of rare photos together over the years.

“Happy anniversary @jessicabiel,” Justin, 44, wrote on his Oct. 4 Instagram Stories, which featured a throwback shot of the couple smiling at the camera. “Seems like this was just yesterday.”

And true to their years-long relationship, the “My Love” star shared a few more romantic candids. In the following slides, Justin added a touching photo of him kissing Jessica, 43, as they walked on a trail in the forest. He then concluded his tribute with a picture of his wife eating a scone, complimenting her as “my favorite person.”

The members of *NSYNC celebrated their “unbreakable bond” with each other, and their fans, on the occasion of their 30th anniversary Wednesday, Oct. 1.

In a post on the official *NSYNC Instagram, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, J.C. Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick shared a statement that read: “Five guys chasing a dream turned into something bigger than we ever imagined. The music. The shows. The memories. An unbreakable bond: with each other, and with all of you. Through every high and low, your love has carried us. Forever grateful.”

Oct. 1 is recognized as *NSYNC’s anniversary as it’s the day Bass officially joined the group in 1995. Timberlake, Chasez, Fatone, and Kirkpatrick had already started working together, but the departure of original fifth singer, Jason Galasso, paved the way for Bass to join. Just a few weeks after their formation, *NSYNC performed live for the first time, delivering a concert at Walt Disney World on Oct. 22, 1995.

Along with the band’s statement, Bass shared a note of his own on Instagram, along with a slideshow of photos and videos from throughout the band’s run. “What an amazing 30 years it’s been,” he wrote. “From stadiums to TRL to TikTok — it’s wild to think we’ve grown up with you right there beside us.”

Chris Kirkpatrick says modern-day touring looks a whole lot different than his *NSYNC days.

In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kirkpatrick, 53, shared what life on the road is like with the other members of his Pop 2000 tour — which features 2000s superstars, like Brad Fischetti from LFO, O-Town, BBMak and Ryan Cabrera. The groups all teamed up at LadyGang’s LadyWorld retreat in Destin, Fla., which took place Sept. 26-28.

"It's dad jokes galore. There's tons of dad jokes," Kirkpatrick tells PEOPLE. "There's a lot of kids soccer talk. You know, there's a lot of different things that we all kind of bring to the table now that we didn't back in the day."

He continues: "Back in the day, it was about going out to the clubs afterwards, having different girlfriends, whatever it is. Now it's like we're wifed up, we have kids. We're in bed right after the show."

*NSYNC is saying “Bye Bye Bye” to a reunion — at least for now.

The iconic boy band had been closer than ever to getting back together for a massive stadium tour, but multiple sources exclusively tell Us Weekly that their plans are now on hold indefinitely.

While one insider says JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick “were all on board,” the “timing wasn’t right” for Justin Timberlake because he was on his solo Forget Tomorrow World Tour from April 2024 until this past July and is now battling Lyme disease. (Timberlake, 44, announced his “relentlessly debilitating” diagnosis the day after his final show, writing in part via Instagram, “I honestly don’t know what my future is onstage but I’ll always cherish this run! And all of them before!”)

The insider notes that Chasez, 49, Bass, 46, Fatone, 48, and Kirkpatrick, 53, “don’t want to” hit the road without Timberlake, whom they publicly supported following his health update.

A second source shares that the Grammy-nominated group — who in 2023 released their first new song in two decades, “Better Place,” on Timberlake’s Trolls Band Together soundtrack — “had a lot of things planned” to celebrate their milestone 30th anniversary this year, which are also now postponed.

Chrissy Teigen is hitting the pink carpet with two of her kids!

The 39-year-old cookbook author brought daughter Luna, 9, and son Miles, 7, to the premiere of Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie on Sunday afternoon (September 21) held at AMC at The Grove 14 in Los Angeles.

Stars of the movie in attendance included Laila Lockhart Kraner, Kristen Wiig, Gloria Estefan, Matty Matteson, Logan Bailey, Juliet Donefeld, Maggie Lowe, Sainty Nelsen, Donovan Patton, Tara Strong, Carla Tassara, and Secunda Wood.

Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin also attended the premiere.

In the new film, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role from the series) heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan) to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco. But when Gabby’s dollhouse, her most prized possession, ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Kristen Wiig), Gabby sets off on an adventure through the real world to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse before it’s too late.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's former New York City penthouse has returned to the market with a hefty price increase, now listed for US$39.995 million (AUD$60 million) after the celebrity couple sold it for US$29 million in 2021.

LThe luxury Tribeca duplex spans approximately 5,300 square feet of interior space with an additional 2,646 square feet of wraparound terrace.

Located in a converted 19th-century bookbinding factory, the property represents one of eight exclusive penthouses in the 53-unit building on Greenwich Street.

According to Mansion Global, Timberlake and Biel were the first residents of the penthouse after purchasing it for $20.18 million when the historic building was converted into condominiums.

During their four-year ownership, the property appreciated significantly before they sold it to an anonymous entity in 2021.

Lisa Vanderpump knows how to throw a birthday bash ... and how to make jaws drop with a perfectly timed naughty joke.

The "Vanderpump Rules" matriarch celebrated her 65th birthday Monday night at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. Her husband Ken Todd, daughter Pandora, son Max, and close friend Lance Bass joined the celebration. The group wined, dined and laughed their way through the dinner, but it was Lisa's gift reveal that stole the spotlight.

Lance Bass is an avid Big Brother fan, and the former *NSYNC star recently got to hang with three of the stars from the hit CBS reality TV show.

Taylor Hale, Derrick Levasseur, and Chelsie Baham were joined by Bass for an episode of Big Brother Unlocked. The show dishes on all things Big Brother, while sharing some never-before-seen footage, and more.

It wasn’t all about the current season of Big Brother when Bass visited the Big Brother Unlocked set, though—Bass gave Levasseur, Baham, and Hale a little dance lesson.

*NSYNC is known for many songs and dance moves, however, none of them are as epic as “Bye Bye Bye.”

In an Instagram video shared by Hale, Bass taught the Big Brother stars the dance. The foursome clearly had a good time in the footage and didn’t take the impromptu lesson very seriously.

In her memoir, Eternally Electric: The Message In My Music, Debbie Gibson opens up about the highest of highs in her life and the lowest of lows, including her onetime dwindling bank account that left her living situation "up in the air."

The “Only In My Dreams” singer was living in Los Angeles in the late aughts as her financial situation got increasingly dire. She was also having bouts of pain, and she wrote, “Cracks were beginning to show in the armor, presumably from stress and from having no consistency in my life.”

So, spending money I didn’t have, I put a down payment on a rustic, two-bedroom, ivy-covered house on Forest Knoll Drive, off Sunset Plaza Drive, and now I had a mortgage. I’m not a big fan of mortgages: Don’t pay the note and see who owns your home. I had bought my two New York apartments outright, but this time around, my financial advisors encouraged me to take a loan, and, impressionable during a confusing period, I was swayed. Given how stubborn I can be, that was kinda strange, but financial investments weren’t my forte. In other areas of my life, I am very clear about what I want and what I’m doing, but this was a period of emotional chaos.

Refusing to go down that road, Gibson, 54, strived to keep her integrity, but it was coming at a cost. Then, though, a famous friend came through with some financial reprieve via an unremarkable delivery method.

I had gotten so far behind with my bills, and my living situation was so up in the air, I even had to temporarily rehome my cat. I’ll never forget the day when Lance Bass’s assistant delivered five thousand dollars cash in a brown paper bag, a loan from a true friend who knew I needed some support and has since never made me feel less than.

That was a humbling moment, one of those times where you feel so vulnerable, the earth could swallow you up whole. The way Lance didn’t flinch and sent help immediately—I was so grateful to know such kindness in the midst of such a surreal and painful chapter in my life.

The 4-figure loan was one in a long line of thoughtful gestures from Bass, 46. Thinking back to her 12-show stint as an opener for *NSYNC during 2001’s PopOdyssey tour, Gibson recalled getting into a tiff with the boy band’s management team about wanting to use her own piano for her set.

So when the boys’ management declared I was a “track act”—“We’re not traveling with her grand piano for one song; that’s ridiculous”—Lance Bass went to bat for me: “You give her whatever the f--- she wants.” He and I have been friends ever since.

Exorcistic: The Rock Musical has returned Off-Broadway, and three new producers have come on board.

Lance Bass, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and original The Exorcist stunt double Eileen Dietz have joined the producing team for the parody musical. Bass and Winokur are also set to appear as a rotating guest stars.

Playing The Asylum NYC, the horror-comedy will feature a secret Broadway guest star at every performance. Performances began August 25, and opening night is set for September 8. The piece previously premiered Off-Broadway in 2023.

Written by Michael Shaw Fisher, who serves as the book writer, composer, and lyricist, Exorcistic: The Rock Musical stars Emma Hunton (Good Trouble). The musical is a self-aware parody of the Exorcist films, creating a chaotically over-the-top musical that dares to ask the question: when does horror tip into hilarity?

Exorcistic follows a theatre company planning to put on a parody of The Exorcist in a new money-making scheme. As the company take the show from staged reading to Broadway, their quest for fame and money supersedes their art and humanity, ensuring that their lead actress becomes actually possessed in the process.

Danielle Fishel recently recounted hanging out with *NSYNC after her short-lived romance with Lance Bass.

On an episode of Pod Meets World, Fishel and guest Elisa Donovan recalled the shoot for the "Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)" music video. The Clueless actress made a cameo in the video, while the Boy Meets World star was just hanging out on set.

Donovan thought Fishel was excluded from the video because she didn't want to be featured. In reality, Fishel said that her boybander boyfriend had just broken up with her after they attended prom together.

"I was so sad," she said. "I think I also brought him our prom pictures to that shoot. Like, 'Here's your copies of our prom pictures. Are sure you want to do this?'"

The podcast host said that their relationship had already been made public at this point. Meanwhile, Donovan revealed that she dated Joey Fatone "under the radar" during this time.

Fishel said she remained "close to all of them" despite the split and even spent New Year's Eve in Hawaii with NSYNC in 1999.

When Fishel and Bass began dating, the singer was still figuring out his sexuality. The Girl Meets World star said that their relationship ended after her prom night, when the singer came to the realization that they wouldn't work. Years later, Bass came out as gay in a 2006 PEOPLE cover story.

"We loved each other. It was just platonic," Fishel said.

Singer and *NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick will be performing at the Florida Theatre on September 25 for the “Pop 2000 Tour.” The show also features LFO, BBMak, O-Town, and Ryan Cabrera. Kirkpatrick sat down with WOKV’s Chase Bunker to talk about performing solo, being asked about a reunion tour, and the song “Bye Bye Bye” in Deadpool & Wolverine.

“Doing this tour has been so much fun but getting up and doing NSYNC songs without the other guys is a little different when they’re not there. I love those guys, they are like my brothers so being out on tour without them, I miss it,” says Kirkpatrick on the difference between performing solo and performing with the group.

Kirkpatrick says he doesn’t get annoyed when people ask him on the street about a possible *NSYNC reunion tour. “I love being in the band. You make a difference in so many people’s lives that it’s great when people can come up and tell you the stories and tell you how you all kind of grew up together, which is great. But it comes with the territory, you know? We haven’t done a show together in 20-something years, so the first thing people usually want to know is ‘when are you doing it again?’So it’s part of being me I guess.

Boy band worlds collided at the Sphere in Las Vegas ... because *NSYNC superstar JC Chasez hit up the venue to see the Backstreet Boys ... and he was treated like royalty.

Our sources tell us JC sat and watched the concert with James Dolan in his suite ... Dolan owns the Sphere, Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks ... so you already know those are good seats!!!

Before the show, JC went to dinner with his girlfriend, Jenn, his manager, Eric Podwall and President of Entertainment for MGM Resorts Ryan Abboushi ... and at the Sphere, he posed for some photos with Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough.

The BSB shows have been a huge success, and it looks like JC had a great time.

Tween hearts broke everywhere when they picked up their favorite 1999 teen magazine and learned that Lance Bass, 46, of *NSYNC was officially off the market by none other than our beloved Danielle Fishel, 44, of Boy Meets World.

Their romance was brief, only lasting just about a year, but that hasn’t stopped them from remaining lifelong friends. Recently, Bass joined a popular TikTok trend where a text overlay reads, “How many months have you known each other?” followed by a collage of photos spanning the years. He used the trend to showcase his enduring friendship with Fishel, sharing sweet throwbacks that delighted fans.

“324 months later…safe to say we’ve come a long way from the hover hand @daniellefishel,” he jokingly captioned the video, referencing their awkward prom photo. Fans absolutely lived for the sweet throwback photos.

After a show-stopping Milan Fashion Week runway that featured a performance of “Atler Ego” from Doechii and JT, Dean and Dan Caten’s Dsquared2 is digging deeper roots in the music space, with the release of a new song, “ICONique.”

The single, which first debuted during the label’s 30th-anniversary celebration in the Italian fashion capital this June, features Latto, JC Chasez, Jimmy Harris, and the twin designers themselves.

Originally, the track “debuted as an unexpected surprise, amplifying the spirit of the celebration and further cementing the house’s legacy at the intersection of music and fashion,” according to the label. Now, the song is a permanent fixture in the brand’s history, scoring a new music video documenting Dsquared2’s most iconic moments, from archival footage to never-before-seen clips, over the last 30 years.

An *NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys golf match might actually happen -- this I promise you -- 'cause Lance Bass tells TMZ Sports he's accepting the "Larger Than Life" crooners' challenge!!

Just a few days after Brian Littrell and Nick Carter told us they wanted to mix it up with *NSYNC on the links ... Bass made it clear he's down.

"Of course," he said while out in Los Angeles ... "Bring it!"

Bass isn't exactly known for his swing -- and he seemed to poke fun at that when we caught up with him on Wednesday ... as he sarcastically said, "I'm incredible at golf."

He also appeared to rib his bandmate, Joey Fatone, for his poor course play too ... when he facetiously dubbed the 48-year-old *NSYNC's best player.

But all jokes aside, Justin Timberlake is great with the sticks ... and Littrell told us he can really play as well -- which does make the matchup intriguing.

In fact, there's so much interest in the potential event ... the man who created "The Match," Bryan Zuriff, told us last week he's already making some preliminary plans for it.

Elisa Donovan was an *NSYNC hater who ended up dating one of the band’s members during the height of their fame.

Donovan, best known for playing Amber in 1995’s Clueless (and the TV series adaptation), opened up about her time with *NSYNC on the Aug. 11 episode of Pod Meets World. Podcast co-host Danielle Fishel (who played Topanga on Boy Meets World) famously dated Lance Bass.

Donovan, 54, said that “for many years” she didn’t talk about her time with *NSYNC, but now she shares “all” of what happened. Fishel, 44, asked her how she ended up meeting *NSYNC and their five members — Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Bass.

“They did an episode of Clueless,” Donovan said. The Clueless TV series ran for three seasons, from 1996 to 1999, with Rachel Blanchard replacing Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz. Near the end of the third season, *NSYNC performs at Cher’s 18th birthday party.

“The studio said ‘This is a really big deal. These guys are coming out,’ ” she remembered. “And I was just like, ‘Right. Are you kidding me? These little boys? This, like, boy band?’ I was literally making fun of them before they got to set.”

But once they arrived, her perspective immediately shifted. “They're super professional. They're really kind. Incredibly talented. And I was like, ‘Oh, I'm the jerk.’ ”

Donovan started “hanging out” with the group right away. “Joey and I started dating,” she added. “That was under the radar.”

The 2025 Tampa Bay Comic Convention was held Aug. 1-3 at the Tampa Convention Center, uniting fandoms for an inclusive weekend of photo ops, panels, shopping and other experiences.

This year’s celebration featured guests from across film, TV, comics and more. Among many others, celebrities included “The Princess Bride” star Cary Elwes, original “Blue’s Clues” host Steve Burns, *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, “Happy Days” superstar Henry Winkler and voice actors like “X-Men ’97’s” Lenore Zann and Keith David from “Gargoyles.”

Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE: HGV), the premier vacation ownership and experiences company, announces it will once again serve as an official partner of the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX. For the third consecutive year, HGV will host its exclusive trackside HGV Clubhouse, offering an all-inclusive, front-row experience during race weekend, set against the iconic backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip.

The HGV Clubhouse will feature a multi-story luxury suite offering more than 450 feet of premier viewing along the Harmon Straightaway and final turn of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit®, framed by the mirrored façade of the 52-story Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations. The experience will deliver gourmet dining, premium cocktails and private nightly performances, making it one of the most sought-after vantage points on the Strip during race week.

HGV Clubhouse ticketholders will also have access to the vibrant Elara Terrace, where this year’s musical performances will take place. The lineup includes Joey Fatone & Friends, featuring an appearance by global pop sensation Luis Fonsi on Thursday, Nov. 20, R&B legends Boyz II Men on Friday, Nov. 21 and country star Rodney Atkins on Saturday, Nov. 22. Adding to the excitement, Australian DJ Brooke Evers will perform DJ sets each evening.

To mark the occasion of the finale of Joey Fatone’s Broadway run in & Juliet, Lance Bass decided to dedicate an Instagram tribute from the heart for his *NSYNC colleague, oozing of nostalgic pride, and gave a rare glimpse into the ever-continuing bond shared by these two pop icons.

Bass went on and never held back from cheering him to the skies: it truly was a masterclass in entertainment. “You had me laughing out loud (yes, full cackle),” he gushed. “Energy and passion still there, no letdown since boyband days.” Surely the message resonates with the gist of Fatone being hardworking, down-to-earth, and funny-a combo that has earned him people’s love and adoration.

The photograph shows Fatone smiling ear to ear in his stage costume while posing with his friends. The elaborateness of Fatone’s costume contrasts starkly with the simple casual clothes his friends wore-truly Broadway glam! Pure joy was captured in one shot, in full agreement with Bass endorsing Fatone’s infectious energy onstage.

Chris Kirkpatrick says his *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake “showed me a whole new level of strength” in the wake of Timberlake’s announcement that he has Lyme disease on Thursday (July 31).

Kirkpatrick took to Instagram to show support for Timberlake, who struggled with Lyme disease on his recent Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which closed out last night.

“Watching him battle Lyme disease day in and day out, while still getting on that stage night after night, was something I’ll never forget,” Kirkpatrick wrote under a photo of himself, Timberlake and fellow *NSYNC members Lance Bass and JC Chasez. “The long days, the travel, the exhaustion — and yet, he never gave up. No complaints, no excuses — just heart, grit, and pure determination.”

Kirkpatrick added about Timberlake, “That kind of resilience is rare.”

US singer Justin Timberlake has revealed he is living with Lyme disease.

The 44-year-old said he was "shocked" to receive the diagnosis but it explained why he "would be on stage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness".

The Cry Me A River singer shared his diagnosis on Instagram following the conclusion of his Forget Tomorrow world tour.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can be spread to humans by infected ticks. A few people diagnosed and treated for the disease can continue to have symptoms, like tiredness, aches and loss of energy, that can last for years.

Timberlake said he was faced with the decision to stop his tour early but ultimately decided to keep going.

Writing on Instagram on Thursday, he said: "As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour - I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me.

"Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease - which I don't say so you feel bad for me - but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes.

"If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has - then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically."

According to America's Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC), patients treated with antibiotics in the early stages of the infection usually recover quickly and completely.

Lance Bass says some bad medical news actually turned out to be a good thing ... and he's got some advice for anyone battling diabetes.

We got the *NSYNC member Tuesday in New York City and our photog asked him about being diagnosed with Type 1.5 diabetes. Lance says the diagnosis was actually a blessing in disguise ... because the condition forced him to start living a healthier lifestyle, and now he feels better than ever before.

The diagnosis isn't all that uncommon in America ... and Lance's specific type of diabetes is also known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, or LADA.

Lance was diagnosed during the pandemic. Type 1.5 diabetes cannot be reversed and insulin is needed to manage it ... so he's got some advice for younger folks who can still avoid a similar diagnosis when they get to be his age -- ease up on the sugary treats!!!

Singer, actor and New York Times bestseller Lance Bass joins TODAY to discuss his work with Food Club, a brand of food that is found in grocery stores all over the country and shares their plans for celebrating 80 years by partnering with DreamWorks and Feeding America to donate five million meals to families in need. Then, he opens up about celebrating ten years of marriage, fatherhood, and his Olive Garden cheat meal when touring with *NSYNC!

Lance Bass has released the comedic video that has become the talk of the town. The *NSYNC star and re-bandmates exchanged places, with Joey Fatone pretending to be Lance and Vice Versa. Joey stands lip-syncing to Pink’s “Just Like A Pill” with over-dramatized motions, while Lance stares on in amusement. The caption says in honor of @realjoeyfatone’s last week as Lance… So now, the world is wondering about the inside joke.

In one word, this video is classic. Joey is now in method: he is giving the anomalous, once-in-a-lifetime performance that only he could do, while Lance looks on, partially confused, but mostly amused at the sight. It’s Pink’s famous tune, fully charged with 200% of Joey’s chaotic energy. It’s this unscripted mess that hopefully makes them more endearing to the public.

The comments feed off that energy. One user commented: “Omg… this is everything I needed today,” while another chimed in: “This is perfect!! Also, happy 24th anniversary to Celebrity!” It was no coincidence given that the post comes out on the anniversary of *NSYNC’s ‘Celebrity’ album, so that throwback was extra nostalgic.

Lance Bass offered a lovely peek into the pleasant chaos of the Turchin-Bass household, exactly the sort of content this internet spine never had. The *NSYNC alumnus reminisced about the times he tried and failed hilariously at teaching Michael Turchin, his artist husband, the steps for the Cupid Shuffle. Back in the recording, with rhythmic melody playing in the background, Lance was complaining to Michael in confidence, “Step to the right, to the right.” He then decided to mix it up a little, “or to the left, to the left.” Well, soon enough, Michael’s become the focus with his confusion and awkward moving.

The clip matched the caption, “Just another day in the Turchin-Bass household,” perfectly depicting the playful exchange between the couple. Those deadpan “what the hell is happening” faces from Michael had everyone cracking up, and one person saying, “Michael wins husband of the year .” Another one chimed in, saying, “I love Michael’s ‘what the hell is happening’ face,” interjecting that even in their cliff-falling moments, the couple could grace any stage.

Lance was feeling himself, but an even better thing was watching that kind of reluctant cooperation from Michael. “He tried with a smile ,” said one. Another was literally rolling his laughter on the floor, “He was definitely walking by himself.” The video was a viral hit because of the contrast of Lance’s good times and Michael’s befuddlement, with many crowning it the couple’s favorite moment.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone did not say "Bye Bye Bye" to the hundreds hoping to see him at Metuchen High School July 14.

As the flood warning hit, Fatone and the Saved by the 90s cover band hunkered down with everyone to wait out the storm, said Mayor Jonathan Busch.

The family-friendly event was part of the borough's annual Downtown Summer Sounds concert series. The night also featured a DJ, music video wall and trivia.

Earlier in the day, the show was moved from the Metuchen Town Plaza to the high school due to the rain forecast.

*NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick made a stop in his home state of Pennsylvania for the Pop 2000 tour and chatted with FOX43's Jackie De Tore about what he's up to.

While on set for Love Inc.’s milestone 10th issue cover shoot (now available on newsstands nationwide!) we knew we wanted to do something extra special for our cover stars, Lance Bass and Michael Turchin. Not only are they celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary (talk about perfect timing), but they’ve also long been icons of LGBTQ+ love and visibility, both in the entertainment world and beyond. So we decided to take a sweet trip down memory lane—literally.

During a break on set, we surprised the couple with a mini version of their original wedding cake, and their reaction was everything.The original cake—a seven-tier masterpiece—was created by The Butter End Cakery in Santa Monica, California, and was anything but traditional. True to Lance and Michael’s fun-loving personalities, the towering confection was a pop-art dream come to life. It featured a bold black-and-white motif, dripping icing, and custom illustrations by Michael himself, including a whimsical portrait of the couple. It was creative, eye-catching, and deeply personal—just like their wedding.

To honor that iconic design, we tapped the talented team at Lark Cake Shop in Los Angeles to whip up a scaled-down version for the shoot. We provided reference photos from the original cake, highlighting key elements like the bright smiley faces and graphic drips. Lark nailed the brief, recreating the vibe in a way that felt nostalgic, joyful, and editorially stylish.

Clearly, with the “yes, yes” affirmations filling the comment section, it proves that poor souls do relate to Lance Bass being funny in every sense of the word. The *NSYNC boy cleverly captioned a video of himself dancing to the Barbie anthem: “Come on Barbie, I have a bedtime ”. And honestly? Thanks for that viewpoint. In the clip, Lance mouths the words, “Come on Barbie let’s go party,” but behaves as if he would rather go to bed than party-a sentiment we are all familiar with.

What added to the humor? The guy was wearing full Christmas pajamas in a July heatwave. Because why wouldn’t he? Lance has forever marched to the beat of his own drum, and this was just another instance of that iconic maverick energy. Behind, the artwork further added to the cozy vibe, making the whole post feel like a warm hug from your funniest friend.

Netflix pulled out the biggest nostalgia trigger ever with the in-the-moment promo of the century! The lighthearted little sketch inside the Netflix break room had Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and Nick Carter joking about their last days as boy bands and teasing their respective shows of “Building The Band” and “Perfect Match: Season 3.” Puns and callbacks all the way down with a final surprise cameo from Lance Bass of *NSYNC for the fans to go crazy.

AJ and Nick were chuckling at the awful fashion statements of the past-turtlenecks, too much hair gel-barely-a-look-at-all-except-in-the-90s-then-giddy gasps mingled with their announcement of their Netflix series. AJ’s Building The Band is a music competition where contestants try to start their groups without going face-to-face, while Nick’s Perfect Match is all about singles finding romance in the first place. The chemistry between the two is very real, and the script was so chock-full of boy band clichés that they couldn’t resist throwing in lines like “I want it that way!” and “Bye bye bye”.

The biggest plot twist happens when the camera catches Lance Bass sneaking away at a perfect time to say, “Wrong band, dude” right before that black screen.

Adults everywhere might as well be singing "I Want You Back" to the 90s.

And on Monday, July 14, they're going to get it when A Night of 90s Boy Band Music hosted by *NSYNC's Joey Fatone lands in Metuchen.

90s cover band, Saved by the 90s, in the Metuchen Town Plaza. It's part of the borough's Downtown Summer Sounds summer concert series.

And who knows — fans might hear Fatone, who is currently on Broadway starring as Lance in "& Juliet," belt it out himself.

"We are hoping that Fatone gets inspired to take the mic," said Metuchen Downtown Alliance Executive Director Dawn Mackey. "I can't promise it, but I'm counting on his love of a good time and being a showman."

The ex-*NSYNC star Lance Bass is slamming these silly-I do mean-that food-serving sizes in a hilarious Instagram post, with netizens laughing and nodding along. He put up a video of himself preparing breakfast while ranting about an English muffin bearing that inscription of two servings.

Bass said he was going to toast his English muffin, spread butter and jam on it, and proudly stated “Fifteen grams of carbs,” only to realize from his shocked face that they were labelling “15 grams” for HALF an English muffin! His reaction was priceless. He screamed, “Who eats half an English muffin?!” tucked his elbows on the counter while crying, “I’m a mess…but the fun kind.”

The caption put the whole thing into perspective: “I’d like to talk to whoever decided the serving size for an English muffin is HALF.” The post appeared to strike a nerve with those who, like Bass, are battling diabetes.

Numerous commenters were able to relate to struggling with the math that such ridiculous serving sizes require in calculating carbs. Another one commented on bizarre serving sizes: “Who goes ‘hmm I think I will eat just six chips and feel happy and satisfied’?!?!” Another one responded about the countless calculations required to live with type 1: “There’s a lot to it…There’s a lot of math to type 1!”

Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and his Pop 2000 tour are on their way to western Pennsylvania. We sat down with Chris to talk more about the upcoming show.

Beverley Mitchell had a warning message for Justin Timberlake when he first started a relationship with Jessica Biel.

Mitchell, 44, recalled on the Monday, July 7, episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast when she would run around with the *NSYNC bandmates — including Timberlake, now 44, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass — and their bodyguards. Mitchell noted that she’s “still very good friends” with “all of them.”

“It’s very funny that one of them ended up marrying my best friend,” she said, referring to Biel, now 43, and Timberlake. “I give Jessie so much crap because she used to make fun of me. She’s like, ‘You’re just hanging out with the *NSYNC boys again,’ and I’m like, ‘Dude, they’re fun, we have fun.’ And she used to think I was so silly and lame and I’m like, ‘Now you’re married to one.’”

When the pair began dating, Mitchell — who starred on 7th Heaven alongside Biel from 1996 to 2007 — said Timberlake’s mom asked her about his new love interest.

I love New York City during the summer. The street fairs, beaches, amusement parks, green parks, dining al fresco, and evenings on the water all equal a world full of vibrancy and fun! Adults and kids of all ages can find incredible things to do in the summertime. But what to choose from and where?

Thanks to Playbill and the all-new Playbill Partner Hotels Booking Engine, I have asked some of my friends on Broadway for their favorite things to do in NYC during the summer season. Check out their recommendations for parks, restaurants, ice cream shops, and other things you can explore and enjoy.

Joey Fatone (& Juliet)

“Let’s chat food in NYC. I love going to Whitehorse Tavern for drinks. And if you want a cool atmosphere, Docks Off 5th is a staple. If you want the only place that has Captain Crunch chicken tenders, you have to go to Planet Hollywood. And if you want the best breakfast (with awesome singing waiters), Ellen’s Stardust Diner is your spot!”

Are the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC finally getting close to sharing the stage? According to BSB member Nick Carter, the conversations have already been started.

“We’ve talked about it a ton, actually,” Carter, 40, told Parade in an exclusive interview alongside his longtime band members for the July cover story. “We’ve had those conversations internally [with] managers. It just hasn’t lined up yet.”

He added: “We did it with New Kids on the Block, and that was a really great experience for us and the fans because they never thought that it would ever happen. So we’re always thinking of really cool collaborations like that, and it has come up as a conversation.”

The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block previously co-headlined the NKOTBSB Tour, during which they performed 80 shows across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia from May 2011 to June 2012.

• Aug. 29–30 – Joey Fatone & Friends

Thanks to his trusty Dexcom continuous glucose monitor (CGM), former boy band star Lance Bass is saying “bye bye bye” to diabetes-related surprises.

That’s the message Bass, who rose to fame in the late '90s and early aughts as part of boy band *NSYNC, brought to the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in Chicago this month. As a member of the star-studded “Dexcom Warrior” advocacy group, Bass shared with conference attendees how Dexcom’s CGM has shaped his diabetes management at an ADA panel on June 21.

Bass has been open about his diabetes journey ever since he was diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), also known as Type 1.5 diabetes, last year. Developing diabetes as an adult was “confusing” to the now-46-year-old singer, he said in an interview with Fierce Pharma Marketing.

“It was an interesting journey, because no one knew what was going on for such a long time,” Bass said.

His doctor originally treated him for Type 2 diabetes for “a couple of years” before the correct diagnosis required a change-up in his treatment protocol to include insulin.

US superstar Justin Timberlake had crowds at Belsonic in the palm of his hand on Thursday night as he brought Sexy Back to Belfast for the first time in 17 years.

The US superstar made a triumphant return to Northern Ireland and for fans of a certain age, transported them right back to their younger teenage days when they first discovered boybands and *NSYNC.

Kicking off the show with hit Mirrors before moving into Cry Me A River, crowds of mostly females screamed with delight as he asked Belfast if they were ready to party?

It was clear from the outset with his spectacular band the Tennessee Kids that Timberlake is still the high energy performer he's always been.

From super slick dance moves to the slowed down moments showcasing his vocal range and musical talents on the guitar and piano, Timberlake brought Sexy Back to Belfast in more ways than one.

Justin Sylvester is exploring the pop culture moments that shaped him with his latest venture, the podcast "Yestergays."

Teaming up with internet personality Blakely Thornton, the TODAY with Jenna & Friends contributor leans into nostalgia while exploring viral moments in celebrity history between 2000 and 2015, such as the infamous "Lady Marmalade" feud or the legacy of the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

In Sylvester's own life, there's one headline-making moment that carries special significance.

"For myself, Lance Bass coming out was such a pivotal moment in 2006," he tells TODAY.com. "It was kind of, sort of, when coming out started becoming something that you could emotionally survive.

"Before Lance Bass came out, people were outed, and Lance Bass kind of ushered in not only being yourself, but being able to survive it and reinvent and keep going and keep it moving," he adds. "Now being friends with Lance Bass, I can say it wasn't easy for him, but it made it easier for all of us."

Bass, a former member of the boy band *NSYNC, came out in an interview for a People cover story. The front of the magazine featured a photo of Bass with the all-caps headline "I'm Gay," accompanied by a quote, "I'm more liberated and happy than I've ever been."

In the full interview, he shared that he decided to come out because rumors about his sexuality "were starting to affect my daily life." (Bass later told Attitude magazine that he chose to come out after celebrity gossip bloggers like Perez Hilton "bullied" him with intense coverage at the time. Hilton apologized for some of his content in a 2010 video and said while he didn't see himself as a bully, he would be doing things differently.)

"Now it feels like it’s on my terms. I’m at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there’s really nothing else that I worry about," Bass told People at the time.

Sylvester says he remembers feeling "taken aback" reading about Bass coming forward with his sexuality.

"It was somebody that we grew up with, someone that we idolize and someone that in my mind, I thought could make a big difference, and it scared the hell out of me as well at the same time, because I had a secret that I was hiding," he says.

"But I remember it giving me hope that if he could do it on such a public stage, then I can do it as well," he adds.

Now, the entertainment journalist and "E! News" host says anytime he sees Bass, "I will give him his flowers."

"I think deep down inside, he did it for all of us," Sylvester says. "He didn't even know it at the time. He had no idea what the impact it was going to have, but I do remind him."

Okay, ‘90s boy band fans, hold onto your bucket hats. The latest Columbus celebrity sighting was a big one. Chris Kirkpatrick member and founder of *NSYNC, just paid Arch City a visit.

The popstar posted that he was in the Columbus metro area over the weekend, checking out Collective Style & Social House, located at 5915 Evans Farm Dr in Lewis Center. Kirkpatrick shared on his Instagram (@iamckirkpatrick): “Dream big, work hard. Supporting my sister’s salon in Columbus and I couldn’t be prouder,” along with an excited selfie standing in front of the salon sign.

Collective Style & Social House has the tagline “Salon by Day, Bar by Night,” offering hair, skin, and nail services, in addition to coffee and craft cocktails. For those who are looking for more of an experience than a service, this fresh concept could be the place for you.

Justin Timberlake made sure the Isle of Wight Festival 2025 crowd kept dancing as he closed the festival last night (Sunday, June 22).

The pop sensation performed a career spanning headline set, supplying hits Can't Stop The Feeling!, SexyBack and Mirrors in Seaclose Park.

"I've been trying to get to the Isle of Wight for years!", he proclaimed, addressing the thousands at the Main Stage.

Flanked by a host of backing dancers, and a mobile band, Justin Timberlake utilised the stage's walkway, delivering intricate dance routines to his music, released over three decades.

Justin Timberlake's headline performance bounced from genre to genre, with a DJ upping the tempo of the last part of his main set, before he closed the show on the walkway solo, performing Until The End of Time with a piano.

Fireworks then lit up the Main Stage, before a second display saw the festival home.

Middle Tennessee’s Native Vencent Hickerson roots run deep in the Music City, as a second generation in Nashville’s music scene Hickerson was raised up looking up to his father’s legacy of music. Hickerson’s heritage runs strong in his genes as he has followed the footsteps of his father, his mentor being a phenomenal guitar player , who graced the stage as a touring musician for legends such as Loretta Lynn, Steve Miller Band, Alan Jackson, David Allen Coe and many more. With that inspiration, Hickerson took it to heart and set his sights on Nashville that set the stage for his career ahead. After playing every stage possible in Nashville, the singer-songwriter garnered himself a publishing deal and next would become the next stage that would change his life- to be signed to a major record company. Hickerson became one half of the band The Trailer Choir which later became signed to Toby Keith’s record label and was quickly nicknamed “Bigg Vinny” because he weighed in at astounding 426 lbs. The nickname stuck but not his trademark weight!

After a near death experience due to his obese weight, the country singer was chosen as a contestant on Season 12 of ” NBC’s The Biggest Loser.” The once obese man from Middle Tennessee shed the fat to become the svelte 242 lbs. Vinny’s voice now echoes far beyond the realms of music, reaching hearts as a motivational speaker and advocate for health and fitness. His very existence has become a living testament to the power of determination. Now, he is taking 2025 by storm with his anticipated video“Walmart Drip”, after his appearance at this year’s CMA Fest. The video stars *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick, viral TikTok star-turned country favorite Tayler Holder, influencer Brad Lea, and former NFL linebacker Miles Burris.

LGBTQ+ Pride Night will feature musical performances, a game of kickball and a "Vogue Off" Friday when the rival San Francisco Giants visit Dodger Stadium.

The celebration is the Dodgers' 12th annual Pride Night event.

Here's a look at events planned for Friday night.

The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by English Olympic gold medal-winning diver Tom Daley. Special guests will include Daley's husband, Dustin Lance Black, who won the best original screenplay Oscar for "Milk" in 2009; singer Lance Bass and Jai Rodriguez, a cast member on the 2003-07 Bravo makeover series, "Queer Eye."

Justin Timberlake is feeling blessed to be the father of his two sons in a heartwarming message he shared for Father's Day.

The singer, 44, who is married to actress Jessica Biel, 43, shared an Instagram tribute to his sons on Sunday, June 15, in honor of the special day.

The couple, who have been married since 2012, share sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.

"There’s no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed," Timberlake wrote in a caption alongside a carousel of pictures with him and his sons.

"I see my two dads, my grandfathers, my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them," he continued. "And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become."

The "SexyBack" singer said he could not put a price on what being a father means to him. "You can’t put a price tag on that type of generational wealth!" he wrote.

He ended his post by saluting other fathers.

"Here’s to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father’s Day!" he said.

Lance Bass is looking back at some of the things he wore alongside his *NSYNC bandmates, and even he's cringing over the fashion choices.

The legendary boy bander laughed at himself while rating his outfits in a recent TikTok video that is giving peak 2000s nostalgia. Bass even admitted that he might want to wear a few of his "bold fashion choices" again.

The reel of photos is set to boy band's iconic song, "It's Gonna Be Me," with a picture of Bass wearing a gorgeous wine-colored suit and a dusty rose crewneck shirt to kick off the fashion throwback moment.

Sometimes, when people comment on your look, it sticks forever, and that's precisely what happened when Joan Rivers dubbed *NSYNC the "most waterproof" when they showed up on the American Music Awards red carpet in 2000, wearing an array of oversized coats. Bass rated that look a two out of ten.

He gave an eight out of 10 to a patchwork leather and snakeskin blazer in red and black, paired with black leather pants, that Bass said he would wear again.

"Heard the Canadian tuxedo was back, and honestly... we were ahead of our time," Bass wrote before giving the all-denim look that *NSYNC rocked together a seven out of 10. He only gave the group's oversized overalls look a five out of 10, and in the next slide, an oversized overalls and jeans look got a six.

Just when you thought West Hollywood couldn’t possibly have more pride than it already does, GLAAD and The Hollywood Reporter threw the Pride Month celebration of the century at Sunset at WeHo’s EDITION sponsored by Paramount+!

Ask Jimmy Bass about his time in the military, and he will often point to his fellow servicemen whom he served alongside more than he talks about himself. However, the veteran was surprised to learn that Emmy award-winning filmmaker Tracie Hunter had heard about his story and had a flag flown over the USS Arizona Memorial in honor of his 98th birthday. Even more special, she contacted Bass’ grandson, Lance Bass, who was able to present the flag to him recently at the Veterans Museum Memorial Day event.

Not only was the flag flown over the memorial, but Hunter managed to contact Lance Bass, and the two were able to get the flag framed and shipped to Lance, who presented Jimmy the flag on Memorial Day. Hunter also sent Jimmy a certificate of adoption in honor and remembrance of Harold Harvey Hoard, who was killed in action aboard the USS Harding during the Battle of Okinawa in WWII.

The 16th Darius and Friends benefit concert took place Monday (6/2) at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, where Darius Rucker, Tyler Braden, Luke Bryan, Kashus Culpepper, Lanie Gardner, Morgan Wallen and Austin Williams provided the entertainment. It was followed by Tuesday’s (6/3) golf tournament, which included *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick, Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney, Restless Road’s Garrett Nichols and Colton Pack, among many others. The two-day event raised $815k for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, increasing the all-time total to more than $5.1 million.

“When we visited St. Jude’s campus in 2008, I pledged to help and here we are,” Rucker said. “The work they’re doing—the research, the breakthroughs—it’s incredible. And I’ll say this over and over; what gets me every time is knowing that families never get a bill. Not for treatment, travel, housing or food. That kind of support changes everything for families going through extraordinary circumstances, and I’m proud that my friends and I can be a small part of that relief.”

It’s officially Pride Month, and brands around the globe are celebrating with limited-edition releases that support the LGBTQ+ community. While we’ve seen everything from rainbow flag apparel at Abercrombie & Fitch to tri-color socks at Bombas, our favorite collabs are the ones that actually give back, like Little Words Project.

The best-selling friendship bracelet company, that’s been worn by everyone from Taylor Swift to Olivia Rodrigo, is teaming up with *NSYNC’s Lance Bass to launch an exclusive Pride-themed bracelet. Available for just three days (June 1–3, 2025), 25% of all proceeds will go directly to The Trevor Project, a non-profit suicide prevention organization.

Founded in 1998, The Trevor Project works to stop suicide among LGBTQ+ youth, by providing them with 24/7 crisis intervention and mental health services. Over the years, it has earned the backing of stars like Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Pedro Pascal, and now, Lance Bass is lending his voice to the mission. So, if you’re looking to show your Pride and support a good cause, this is your chance to do both.

“Collaborating with Little Words Project on this drop is incredibly meaningful to me. I’ve admired the brand for years and their mission of kindness and empowerment is so special. “No Matter What” and “Love to You” are more than phrases on a bracelet. They’re a celebration of connection, self-love, and being unapologetically ourselves,” Lance Bass told Rolling Stone. “These bracelets are a reminder that words matter — and can open up powerful conversations. Supporting The Trevor Project through this collaboration was a natural choice. I’ve been a longtime champion of their life-saving work, and am proud to honor their mission through this collection.”

Essay by Lance Bass

When I found out I had diabetes in February 2021, I thought it was a death sentence. I was in denial, especially since I ate a healthy diet and exercised.

Still, for months, I felt exhausted and run down to the point where some days it was hard to get out of bed. Part of me was relieved to understand why I was experiencing these symptoms, but I was mostly overwhelmed and scared about the unknowns of how this could change my life.

I knew about type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but like many people, I didn't fully grasp how they're different. And what threw me for a bigger loop: I have the less common type, 1.5.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition, while type 2 diabetes is more related to lifestyle factors like obesity and lack of exercise, along with genetics. Type 1.5 diabetes is when your pancreas slowly stops producing insulin in adulthood, usually around age 40, which is what happened in my case.

As you might expect, my social media algorithm has gotten much more health-focused since I've been grappling with my diabetes diagnosis. I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands, of videos offering tips and tricks to manage glucose levels. It can be overwhelming, especially when the diagnosis is still fresh.

Justin Timberlake put down the "Suit & Tie" for something a little more Jessica Biel -centric at his latest gig — and she returned the favor!

The 10-time Grammy winner, 44, surprised fans on Saturday, May 24, when he took the stage at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival in a checkered jacket and white button-up, before removing both to reveal a distressed white shirt featuring his wife's face printed on the front.

Timberlake's T-shirt featured an early '00s photo of the actress wearing a white tank top and jeans. He paired the cut-up shirt with white pants, a chain necklace and some shades.

But he wasn't the only one wearing his heart on his short sleeves!

Biel, 43, was apparently in the crowd cheering on her husband during his set, as seen in snaps he later shared on Instagram. She showed her support by wearing her own piece of throwback JT merch for the occasion.

In an image shared by Timberlake, the couple smiled together backstage — with the singer in his custom Biel T-shirt and his wife in a 2003 Justified World Tour T-shirt.

"We out here fan girling," Timberlake captioned the snap.

On her own Instagram Stories, Biel shared a cheeky response to Timberlake's shirt: "He really outdid the doer," she wrote.

Joey Fatone is sharing his thoughts on what it'll take to get one of the 1990s' biggest pop groups back together.

Speaking with PEOPLE about his partnership with Red Lobster to celebrate the new $19.99 3-Course Shrimp Sensation, the performer updated fans on what could be in the cards when it comes to an *NSYNC reunion.

"Of course, the big question is, is *NSYNC ever getting back together? The answer is, we haven't had that conversation yet," he tells PEOPLE.

"The five of us need to get together, and that day has not happened yet. Everybody's everywhere in the world, and I think it's more important to get everybody in-person as opposed to just getting on a chat or on a phone call," Fatone explains.

"People always think, 'Oh, it's easy. Just get on the phone and talk.' There's a lot of things that have to become fortuitous for that — a lot of commitment, a lot of time. Everybody has families. Most people have kids, so then you have to take that into consideration."

"It's one of those things that hopefully, *NSYNC does get back together," he says, rooting for the moment fans have been begging for.

In the meantime, Fatone continues his time on Broadway in & Juliet, playing Lance until July 31.

Joey Fatone and *NSYNC might have reached icon-level status in the late '90s and early 2000s — but he's learning from a new generation of stars.

The My Big Fat Greek Wedding actor opens up about his experience starring alongside Charli D'Amelio in & Juliet on Broadway during an exclusive chat with OK!.

While Fatone is currently on Broadway, he was at the height of his fame in 1999 — which is why he's partnered with Red Lobster to promote the restaurant's new $19.99 3-Course Shrimp Sensation.

"She is probably one of the smartest ahead of her time with the things that she does... but not only that, she's more than what she does. She could be doing nothing. She could be like 'who cares,' yet she's a real, hardworking dancer at heart," he praises of D'Amelio — who rose to fame as one of TikTok's OG stars more than five years ago.

As for Fatone, the dad-of-two jokes he's probably "the oldest dancer" on set, noting his castmates call him "Uncle Joey."

Justin Timberlake and his Tennessee Kids band got the BottleRock Napa Valley crowd dancing Saturday night, closing out Day 2 with slick choreography, tight horns and undeniable style.

“To all of you, first timers and all timers, I just want to say I love you so much,” Timberlake told the packed audience.

Someone in the crowd yelled back: “Stop talking and bring sexy back!” — a line shouted often during the nearly two-hour set.

And he did. And he did. Timberlake capped the night with a one-two punch: his fierce 2006 hit “SexyBack” followed by the sweeping 2007 ballad “Until the End of Time.”

He paused at times to thank longtime fans and even signed a jacket tossed from the front row — though he declined to wear a hat thrown his way.

Joey Fatone appreciates all the love fans have shown *NSYNC over the years.

In a conversation with PEOPLE about his partnership with Red Lobster to celebrate the brand's new $19.99 3-Course Shrimp Sensation, Fatone reveals the one song that didn't get as much appreciation from fans as he'd hoped.

"The one that's always a banger and always fun for me, I think it was a good song that's like a B-side, is 'It Makes Me Ill,' " he shares of the song, off of 2000's No Strings Attached.

"It's a good song, I think, that's always a fun song to do or even listen to and stuff like that, and it should have been maybe been out more on the forefront. But hey, can't have all the bangers out like that, can we?" he says with a laugh.

Fatone is proud to have "told stories" with the songs *NSYNC put out into the world.

"The concepts of the videos back in the day, which ... People still shoot videos, but it's not the way it used to be back in the day," he explains.

Joey Fatone was a big deal in 1999, if he does say so himself.

The *NSYNC star appears in a commercial with Red Lobster, where he celebrates how three courses for $19.99, the new 3-Course Shrimp Sensation, is also a big deal. Speaking with PEOPLE about the partnership, Fatone says it's all about "having fun."

"I know that in many commercials that Red Lobster has done, they don't take themselves too, too seriously," Fatone tells PEOPLE. "I was a big deal in 1999, and the shrimp is a pretty big deal. It's something that's definitely affordable for families and stuff."

He continued, "So I was like, 'You know what? This is something that's fun and exciting to do. Why not?' We tweaked the idea, working together to make it the best and funniest way possible. Classics are coming back, nostalgia's coming back, and the shrimp deal at Red Lobster is coming back."

Fatone admits he had a second motivation to team up with Red Lobster — his love of the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. You can get unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits along with your choice of soup or salad, a shrimp appetizer, and a shrimp entrée as part of the 3-Course Shrimp Sensation.

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin are opening up about their 10-year marriage in the new issue of Love Inc.

The couple’s big day was televised with an E! special, and they made history as the first same-sex couple to wed on cable television.

Bass and Turchin tied the knot in December 2014. At the time, same-sex marriage was legal in California, but it wasn’t legalized nationwide until 2015.

Lance explained, “Our whole relationship has been a roller coaster of emotions when it comes to marriage equality. It has been a fight to have equality for everyone else, and being a public figure — a gay public figure — it was important for us to share our message of love. Usually, we’re pretty private people, but we knew that we wanted everyone to see our relationship. You really don’t change your opinion until you know a gay person.”

As any New Yorker can tell you, even major celebrities take the subway — but they don't usually bust out with a surprise performance of their most famous dance moves on the platform. Still, that's exactly what *NSYNC member Joey Fatone did, much to the delight of his fans.

Fatone, 48, who recently wrapped up his very first Broadway run in the hit musical & Juliet (and subsequently announced he would be returning for an encore engagement in April), proved he hasn't forgotten the classic choreography for NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" when he flawlessly performed the dance with a small group of fans while waiting for the train in the Times Square subway station in New York City.

In a video shared to Instagram by the official & Juliet account this week, Fatone was just as energetic as ever, wearing jeans and a black t-shirt printed with the classic NSYNC reference "It's Gonna Be May."

Chris Kirkpatrick has a new four-legged family member, and the adorable pet might squash the *NSYNC member's beef with Eminem once and for all!

On Wednesday, May 14, the singer's wife, Karly Skladany, announced on Instagram that the couple and their 7-year-old son, Nash Dylan, welcomed a new puppy. She also revealed that the family named the miniature American shepherd after Eminem.

"We added to our family yesterday!!!" she wrote alongside a slideshow of photos of the 8-week-old pup spending time with the family.

Then, Skladany — who tied the knot with the musician in 2013 — added in the caption that the tiny pup is named after Eminem's birth name (and alter ego), writing, "Welcome home Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady!!!"

Justin Timberlake is paying tribute to wife Jessica Biel in honor of Mother’s Day.

“Happy Mother’s Day to the superwoman who puts up with all the boys,” Timberlake, 44, wrote via his Instagram Story on Sunday, May 11, alongside a photo of Biel, 43, smiling for the camera as she embraced one of their sons.

“We love you so much mama,” the singer added over another image of Biel kneeling in front of sons as they sported Timberlake’s merch.

Timberlake also honored his mom, Lynn Bomar Harless, by sharing a throwback photo of the twosome. “And a very Happy Mother’s Day to the OG!” he wrote, adding in a separate Story, “I love you and your cinnamon sugar toast.”

Pop icon Joey Fatone joins Good Day's Curt Menefee and Rosanna Scotto to discuss his role as Lance in the musical, “& Juliet”.

Lance Bass went all out for his 46th birthday ... spending the weekend partying in Las Vegas, and getting pulled onstage by Nelly.

The *NSYNC singer was at Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World on Sunday when Nelly brought him onstage for a surprise performance ... and the crowd went bananas.

TMZ obtained video of the Lance-Nelly gig ... and they performed their hit from back in the day, "Girlfriend," which was a collab between *NSYNC and Nelly.

The dynamic duo snapped a photo together ... and Lance also posed for a pic with T-Pain during his weekend stay in Sin City.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone hit the red carpet of the Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala.

The “It’s Gonna Be May” meme may be another year older, but it's more relevant than ever.

According to the database KnowYourMeme, the viral trend originated in 2012 and continues to make the rounds every April 30 in the form of photos, videos and animated GIFs. The meme stems from a line sung by Justin Timberlake in the 2000 *NSYNC hit “It’s Gonna Be Me,” where his pronunciation famously sounds like “May.”

Each year, fans get more creative with their tributes, pairing the lyric with playful or nostalgic images of Timberlake. For former *NSYNC members Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, seeing the meme resurface annually is both surreal and entertaining.

"I mean, it is crazy. If you want to stay relevant, become a meme for the young kids out there," Bass, 45, tells PEOPLE exclusively over the phone. "It's something that fans get to have fun with every single year. It keeps the song kind of in people's minds, which is nice. It keeps us alive every year. It’s the most searched *NSYNC thing ever on that day just because of this stupid little meme, which I’m sure Justin loved. But yeah, it's a gift that keeps on giving."

"There are so many different ones out there," Fatone, 48, adds. "And I think, again, like Lance was saying, people just get creative. The more the years go on, the more variations you see — including old-school stuff they’re digging up — and then they put the words under the meme. It’s hilarious. I think it’s great. Again, why not? Why not run with it? It’s fun."

“It’s Gonna Be May” meme time has arrived — and *NSYNC's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are embracing it.

It’s been 25 years since *NSYNC released the song “It’s Gonna Be Me" as part of the boy band's "No Strings Attached" album. In an interview with TODAY.com, Bass and Fatone reflect on the success of the track and the timeless fame it reached, thanks to the internet.

Every year, when April is about to turn to May, fans circulate memes that show a snapshot of fellow band member Justin Timberlake

A classic version of the meme simply reads those four words, while another variation asks, "Guess what tomorrow is?" before jumping into, "It's gonna be May," among many others that have circulated online.

"'It’s Going to Be May’ time is always the gift that keeps on giving,” Bass tells TODAY.com.

While Fatone thinks the song is "fun" and "great" on its own, he says the group didn't see the next-level meme fame coming.

“It just brought it to a whole other level that we had no idea what was going to happen,” he says of the song becoming a meme. “Every year right before May, they just start flushing out everywhere.”

Travis and Jason Kelce certainly know how to party.

The Kelce brothers seemed to be having the time of their lives as they hung out with Justin Timberlake in Las Vegas over the weekend.

A new video posted to Timberlake's 8AM Golf brand's Instagram account on Saturday, April 26, showed the *NSYNC alum, 44, and the football stars playing casino games and joking around during a rare outing.

"After dark at the 8AM Invitational did not disappoint," the caption read, referencing Timberlake's charity golf tournament, taking place from Thursday, April 24, to Sunday, April 27.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Lance Bass are ready for it.

Every year, right about this time, toward the end of April, they know it's coming. It being the onslaught of "It's Gonna Be May" memes.

"I think every time May comes around, it becomes this meme and it's been embellished over the years and even kids who might not know about it, they're saying, 'It's Gonna Be May,'" Fatone told the USA Today Network.

It was 25 years ago when Fatone, Bass and the rest of *NSYNC, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake, released the song "It's Gonna Be Me." Timberlake, who sang the title line of the song, pronounced "me" as "may," and from there, hundreds of memes were born and continue to be rereleased each year at the end of April.

It turns out not everyone has heard of the iconic pop boy band *NSYNC — especially among the younger generation.

While speaking with PEOPLE about partnering with Great Wolf Lodge, Joey Fatone shares how surprising it's been to meet kids who aren't familiar with the group's legacy. Along with Fatone, the 2000s pop band, founded in Orlando, also included members Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.

Fatone says when the 2024 Deadpool & Wolverine movie used *NSYNC's hit "Bye Bye Bye" in its opening scene, it gave the group an unexpected boost among younger fans curious about who sang the track.

"A lot of the younger generation didn't really know us," Fatone, 48, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I mean, they kind of know who we are, but it's funny — people will say, ‘Justin's a solo artist,' or ‘Lance does this podcast,' or ‘Joey was doing this show,' and they don't always realize we were all in a group together. Then they go down this rabbit hole of all the different things we've done, which I think is amazing."

The Empire State Plaza is embracing Y2K nostalgia with its Fourth of July concert.

"Pop 2000 Tour" will headline this year's celebration, featuring former *NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick, Ryan Cabrera and boy bands O-Town and LFO. The free festivities, sponsored by Price Chopper, will run from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Plaza.

Hosted by Kirkpatrick, "Pop 2000" celebrates the music that soundtracked the 2000s, including "All or Nothing" (O-Town), "On the Way Down" (Cabrera) and "Summer Girls" (LFO). The Fourth of July performance is one of a handful of free concerts in the group's nationwide tour.

It might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie ... Lance Bass did post a picture from his colonoscopy.

The *NSYNC alum poked fun at his hospital garb in an Thursday, April 24 post to his Instagram Stories, sharing a pic of himself in a gown and scrub cap, writing "You should see the other guy."

"Fashionably late to colon cancer awareness month," the Frosted Tips host continued, "But still right on time to say: Don't put off getting screened."

"Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers out there," Bass said. "Eat the Jell-O. You got this!"

He concluded his post with a link to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, which is urging more people to get screened beginning at age 45, per current guidance from the American Cancer Society. Bass is 45, turning 46 on May 4.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone, who will return to the role of Lance in the Broadway company of & Juliet April 22 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, will host a sing-along performance of the hit jukebox musical May 8 at 7 PM.

May 8 will mark the Broadway musical's fourth sing-along performance. In 2024, Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean and NSYNC's JC Chasez both hosted these special performances, joining the company for surprise encores following the show. Fatone will continue this tradition with a surprise performance following the curtain call.

Pop star Fatone, whose earlier Broadway credits include Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, first played Lance January 21–March 16. His second engagement is scheduled to continue through July 31.

Tickets for the & Juliet sing-along, and all performances, are available at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre box office or at AndJulietBroadway.com.

Justin Timberlake has teamed up with Nike Golf to craft an Italian-made golf shoe limited to just 1,981 pairs, a deliberate nod to his birth year. The design features a refined combination of tan and light crimson tones, and is adorned with the phrase ‘Raggio di sole'—Italian for ‘ray of sunshine'—printed on the insole as well as the shoebox. Montebelluna, the city in Italy where the shoes and other select Nike product is manufactured, is also stamped on the heel.

The interior continues to story: the cork insoles feature a pattern representing stains left behind by coffee cups (use coasters, people), while a tag behind the tongue features Timberlake's birth year nod to further add to the limited batch vibe. Each pair comes packaged in a custom shoebox and is accompanied by a set of matching socks, rounding out the premium presentation.

A release date for this collaboration is expected for April 18th, 2025; given the limited nature, the MSRP for each shoe is set at an elevated $500 tag.

Justin Timberlake has broken new ground in Georgia after his upcoming concert at the 55,000-capacity Dianamo Arena sold out in six hours.

The US star will perform in Tbilisi on 23 July as part of Starring Georgia, a government-backed programme that aims to bring Western artists to the country to boost tourism and the economy.

Now in its third year, the campaign has brought the likes of Bruno Mars, OneRepublic, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Nile Rodgers & CHIC to the transcontinental country.

Timberlake's concert, promoted by Live Nation, has set a new record for the fastest sellout in Starring Georgia's history.

"This will be more than a concert, it will be a cultural event for Georgia and its surrounding countries," said Starring Georgia project manager Tsitsi Iashvili on Euronews Georgia.

Justin Timberlake, one of the greatest pop stars, will perform in Azerbaijan for the first time as part of The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

10-time GRAMMY Award winner, global superstar, and the voice behind hits like "Can't Stop the Feeling!", and "Mirrors" — will take the stage at the iconic Baku Olympic Stadium with an unforgettable live show on July 27.

Tickets for the concert, to be held with the organizational support of iTicket Production and Dream Group International, will go on sale from April 14, 12:00 AM, on the official iTicket.az website, mobile application, and at all box offices across the city.

Justin Timberlake has a brief cameo in the Lonely Island's "Jizz in My Pants" video — but contrary to popular belief, he actually didn't contribute to the song itself.

During an episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg reflected on their viral song "Jizz in My Pants," which premiered on Saturday Night Live in 2008. "Timberlake helped us so much, I remember people online being like, oh, 'Timberlake's singing with them at the end,' because they probably also thought we couldn't have possibly made it sound [good]," Schaffer said.

Taccone added, "I think that's just Andy. I'm not even sure I'm singing it."

Samberg confirmed, "You're not."

Jeff Ross was in for an unfortunate surprise when he tried a new flavor of ice cream while on tour.

On Sunday, April 6, the comedian, 59, shared a series of photos on Instagram of himself sitting in a hospital bed — along with a snapshot of the ice cream that landed him there.

According to Ross, he and his band were in Mill Valley, Calif., celebrating after a performance of his one-man show, Take a Banana for the Ride, when he started feeling ill and his face began to swell up.

"ROAST ME. TONIGHT'S SHOW NEAR SAN FRANCISCO MUST GO ON!" he began his post.

"Had such a fun opening night performance of @takeabananafortheride up here in Mill Valley, California @throckmortontheatre," Ross continued. "Afterwards, me and the band celebrated with some burrata ice cream at a restaurant down the street courtesy of the nice owner. It was delicious. Seriously yummy."

A few of Ross' celebrity friends chimed in underneath his post to wish him a good recovery — and to roast him, just a little bit.

"Sloth love chunk … and I can always be your chunk! Speedy recovery my brother," *NSYNC alum Joey Fatone commented.

Nigel's guest today is Lance Bass. Lance found fame as one fifth of the iconic boy band *NSYNC selling 70 million records worldwide and being the poster boy for a generation of adoring female fans. But Lance knew he was gay and carried the shame of hiding his sexuality from the outside world for fear of ruining his career. Something had to change. These days he is an out and proud gay man with a beautiful family and a man of many talents including being a film and theatre producer. As well as being the most awesome dad. This is his story.

This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story - one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time.

Our Marissa Mitchell chatted with *NSYNC's Joey Fatone about his City Cruises experience and what's next in store for him.

The Masked Singer put on its dancing shoes, bleached tips, hats, and oversized pants as "Boy Band Night" took over the studio. Could the last remaining female mask, Yorkie, find her inner boy band?

That's not to say it was necessarily in the wheelhouses of Mad Scientist Monster, Nessy, or Stud Muffin, as the three remaining Group C guys appear to be from very different styles of music. Stud Muffin gives us hip-hop vibes, while Nessy has more of a pop rock sound, and Mad Scientist Monster is as country as they come!

Nevertheless, all four remaining masks took on the challenge, bringing to life songs from All-4-One, *NSYNC, Bell Biv DeVoe, and even Jenny's favorite boy band of all time, New Kids on the Block. But who danced their way into next week's Group C finals? And who had to say bye-bye-bye? You know the drill!

Nessy then shared how he finally got to connect with the boys at a celebrity golf tournament, where they competed hard and he played "the worst game of my life." Along the way, we saw Nessy fishing, *NSYNC on a stop sign, a cart with popcorn, gummy worms and (root?) beer bottles. He said that these days he misses the "friendly competition," which is why he's loving being on this show.

His concert merch clue came from the Nick Cannon T-Shirt Cannon, shot by *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick. Chris also shared his vibe was that Nessy was a country singer. The t-shirt itself was Nessy in a heart. "Just like the boy banders, I was also known for my love songs," he explained.

Love was in the air at those TGIF after parties.

During the TGIF-themed panel at 90s Con in Hartford, Conn., on Saturday, March 29, hosted by Jenna Leigh Green, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star kicked off the conversation by asking Will Friedle, Rider Strong, Soleil Moon Frye and Jaleel White about the televised parties that aired during commercial break on Friday nights.

"On ABC in the commercial breaks, we were just having fun parties," explained Green, 50. "We were absolutely working, but it was made to look as though we were just rocking out live on Friday night with *NSYNC."

Strong, 45, then chimed in, "Yes, that's the one where Danielle [Fishel] met Lance [Bass] and started dating him," to which Green replied, "Danielle and Lance dated?!"

"Oh God, for a year," said Strong. "They went to prom. It didn't work out."

Tickets for Intern John's Second Chance Prom: Pop 2000 Tour are officially on sale with the tour returning to Montgomery County at the Fillmore in Silver Spring.. Whether you're reliving your youth or experiencing it for the first time, this is a night filled with fun, music, and nostalgia as the Pop 2000 Tour will bring you right back to the early 2000s with acts like Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, O-Town, BBMAK, Ryan Cabrera and LFO.

The POP 2000 tour has previously made stops in Montgomery County in 2023 and 2024 when it stopped by Montgomery Mall. This time, it will be a ticketed event at The Fillmore in Silver Spring.

*NSYNC is one of the bestselling boy bands of all time, and its legacy is undeniable. The group dominated the late '90s and early 2000s with massive hits, unforgettable videos, and iconic live performances – and by breaking more than a few hearts. But somehow, despite all the success and ubiquity, *NSYNC had never managed to collect even a single platinum-certified song in the U.S. — until now.

More than two decades after its heyday, the Justin Timberlake-fronted pop outfit is finally catching up and securing some long-overdue wins.

Three of *NSYNC's most beloved tracks were recently awarded new honors by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). "Bye Bye Bye," "This I Promise You," and "It's Gonna Be Me" have all been certified platinum in the United States.

*NSYNC fans got a special treat on Friday (March 21), when Vevo chose "Bye Bye Bye" as the subject of their newest Footnotes episode, giving an inside look at the beloved track on its 25th anniversary.

The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release in 2000, and appeared on the Billboard 200 chart-topping album, No Strings Attached. The project stayed atop the tally for eight weeks. It won for best pop video at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards (where *NSYNC performed the song) and scored a record of the year Grammy nomination.

In the four-minute deep dive into the track and its corresponding music video, the Footnotes clip explains that the visual was inspired by the No Strings Attached cover art, leading to the puppet storyline.

The four-minute inside look also shares a number of fun facts about the Darrin Henson-choreographed music video, including that the puppet strings holding the band members are bungee cords and the high-energy train scene is completely real, captured by a helicopter and steadicam, with Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone doing their own stunts.

World-renowned superstar Justin Timberlake continues his global concert journey as part of his "The Forget Tomorrow World Tour" in 2025. This tour is designed to promote his sixth studio album, "Everything I Thought It Was" and will see the artist performing in various cities around the world.

As part of the European leg, Timberlake has added Istanbul to his tour schedule. The concert, set for July, promises to be an extraordinary event, featuring a massive stage show with Timberlake bringing his signature style and energy to his Turkish fans.

With final agreements in place between the organizing company and the artist, the concert has been confirmed, and Timberlake is expected to stay in Istanbul for two days. After the concert, he plans to explore the city, offering his Turkish fans a chance to experience not only his performance but also his personal connection to the vibrant city.

Formed in 1995, members Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass are the five stars known as *NSYNC, one of the most iconic boy bands of all time.

After first making a splash in Germany in 1996, they went on to release their debut self-titled album, *NSYNC, in March 1998. Despite their success, the group went on a hiatus that became permanent in 2002. Since then, the members have reunited on various occasions for personal milestones, their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony and in 2024, to perform together live for the first time since the 2013 MTV VMAs at Timberlake's free, one-night show in L.A.

In addition to being featured on Timberlake's 2024 album Everything I Thought It Was on the song "Paradise," the five men worked together for the first time in 20 years for the 2023 song "Better Place" for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack.

Released in 2000, *NSYNC's third studio album, No Strings Attached, still remains one of the top-selling albums of all time in the U.S.

As their smash hit album, which sold 2.4 million copies in its first week, celebrates its 25th anniversary on March 21, here's what the members of *NSYNC have been up to since the band's initial break.

Justin Timberlake is flying high!

The singer, 44, took over an airplane while traveling to South America for the next leg of his Forget Tomorrow world tour.

The 10-time Grammy winner recently shared a video on TikTok of him playfully addressing a busy plane using the overhead speaker. Dressed in a baggy pastel green hoodie with an orange design, he says, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to JT Live 25 South American Leg."

As the flight attendants go on with their safety demonstration, Timberlake takes over the narration part. "The lifejacket is located in a pouch at the side of your seat. To inflate the lifejacket, pull firmly on the red toggles," he reads off a paper.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone concludes his nine-week limited run as Lance in the Broadway company of & Juliet March 16 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

Those who missed the limited engagement, fear not. Pop star Fatone, whose earlier Broadway credits include Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, will return to the hit jukebox musical April 22–July 31.

Original & Juliet Australian cast member Hayden Tee will join the Broadway company during the interim period, playing Lance March 18–April 20. Tee, who made his Broadway debut in 2016 in Les Misérables, has also been seen on stage in Jekyll & Hyde.

& Juliet draws from the song catalogue of frequent pop songwriter, and frequent *NSYNC collaborator, Max Martin for its score. Though the show has characters singing *NSYNC songs, Lance (Fatone) is not one of them—his big numbers in the show are songs made famous by the Backstreet Boys, who were considered *NSYNC's rivals in the '90s.

*NSYNC fans perpetually singing "I Want You Back" to the beloved boy band were in for a treat on Thursday, March 13, when three of the group's biggest stars came together again at Broadway's & Juliet.

PEOPLE was on hand at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City, where Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick attended the hit musical to cheer on their bandmate, Joey Fatone.

Bass and Kirkpatrick attended alongside Kirkpatrick's wife Karly Skladany, and the couple's 7-year-old son, Nash Dylan.

Sitting one row apart, the bandmates were quickly ushered into their seats shortly after the theater's lights dimmed. They spent the night jamming to a selection of songs they're all too familiar with, cheering on Fatone throughout the performance — with Kirkpatrick regularly pumping his fist in the air and, at one point, pointing to Fatone as he whispered something to his son.

The *NSYNC pair also shared some big claps during the curtain call, giving Fatone and the cast an enthusiastic standing ovation before they were escorted away to the cheers of the audience.

Former *NSYNC member Joey Fatone, who concludes his nine-week limited run as Lance in the Broadway company of & Juliet March 16 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, has already set a return engagement.

Pop star Fatone, whose earlier Broadway credits include Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, will return to the hit jukebox musical April 22–July 31.

Producers also announced that original & Juliet Australian cast member Hayden Tee will join the Broadway company during the interim period, playing Lance March 18–April 20. Tee, who made his Broadway debut in 2016 in Les Misérables, has also been seen on stage in Jekyll & Hyde.

& Juliet draws from the song catalogue of frequent pop songwriter, and frequent *NSYNC collaborator, Max Martin for its score. Though the show has characters singing *NSYNC songs, Lance (Fatone) is not one of them—his big numbers in the show are songs made famous by the Backstreet Boys, who were considered *NSYNC's rivals in the '90s.

At 45, Lance Bass says he is "the healthiest I've ever been."

The singer, actor and entertainer best known for his time in *NSYNC, came to South by Southwest on Tuesday to talk about chronic illness with Joe Nadglowski, president and CEO of the Obesity Action Coalition, and Dr. Geeta Nayyar, author of the book, "Dead Wrong: Diagnosing and Treating Healthcare's Misinformation Illness."

Bass has Type 1.5 diabetes, which is a rare form of diabetes similar to Type 1, but which appears as an adult instead of during childhood. He says his pancreas, the part of the body that produces and controls insulin, is "slowly on its way out. .... Mine has already said goodbye. We are going to throw it a goodbye party."

JC Chasez's father, Ray "Roy" Edward Chasez, has died at the age of 73.

The sad news of the former *NSYNC band member's dad's death was reported by TMZ. Sources told the outlet that Roy died in February in Florida, following a battle with cancer which was his fifth time with the disease.

The outlet also reported that there was a celebration of life for JC's late father which was on Saturday, March 8 in Orlando and some members of *NSYNC attended. Sources additionally told TMZ that there people from the music industry also present at the service and knew him well. Roy, along with the other *NSYNC members' parents, were with the band from the beginning.

JC (full name Joshua Scott) was adopted by Roy and his wife Karen Good Chasez, who were his biological mother's foster parents. His mother gave them guardianship over JC when he was five.

Following a highly acclaimed run last year, the Pop 2000 Tour, hosted by Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, will return in 2025 with a 28-date trek across the U.S. and Canada starting this month. The lineup features platinum-selling pop stars O-Town, BBMAK, Ryan Cabrera, LFO, and One Tree Hill alum Tyler Hilton, who will bring you their iconic songs, transporting you right back to the early 2000s.

The tour will kick off March 28 at Orlando's SeaWorld and run throughout the spring and summer, making stops in cities such as Atlantic City, Toronto, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and more. A complete list of tour dates is provided below.

Universal Attractions Agency's (UAA) head of Rock & Pop, Matt Rafal, spoke about the upcoming tour's excitement: "We're heading into our seventh year of Pop 2000, and this year is shaping up to be our best one yet. The demand for Pop2K nostalgia increases each year, and these artists always deliver a great show. For many fans, it's become an annual tradition!"

If the Grand Slams had an after-party, it might just look like this. Under the balmy Coachella Valley sky, 80 guests—including a dazzling mix of tennis legends, Hollywood elite, and philanthropic power players—gathered at Zenyara, the jaw-dropping 70-acre private estate of real estate mogul Michael Scott. Inspired by the sleek serenity of Amanyara in Turks & Caicos, the estate was the perfect backdrop for an evening of cocktails, conversation, and charitable giving, all in support of the WTA Foundation's Global Women's Health Fund and UNICEF's Child Nutrition Fund.

Desert Smash founder Ryan Macaulay joined Scott in hosting the evening, which set the tone for the 21st annual celebrity-packed tennis showdown. Among the attendees: Maria Sharapova, Andrey Rublev, Matteo Berrettini, and Alexander Zverev, who traded center court for center stage alongside Hollywood notables like P!nk, Lance Bass, and Boris and Nicole Kodjoe.

As conversations swirled, so did the fashion: Gavin Rossdale cut a striking figure in Giorgio Armani, while Lance Bass opted for head-to-toe John Varvatos. Matteo Berrettini, statuesque as ever, mingled in Hugo Boss, while twin tennis Hall-of-Famers-to-be Mike and Bob Bryan stayed perfectly in sync, twinning in seafoam-green athleisure.

Elsewhere, P!nk was seen reminiscing with Lance Bass and husband Michael Turchin about their early days in the music industry—back when she opened for *NSYNC—while Jon Lovitz, fresh from SNL's 50th-anniversary celebrations, exchanged laughs with Rossdale near the Golden Goose bespoke shop, where guests customized their own Ballstar sneakers under the guidance of the brand's ‘dream maker' artisans.

The Pop 2000 Tour is making a stop at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts on July 13.

It promises to bring you back to those TRL moments with performers like Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, as well as O-Town, BBMAK, Ryan Cabrera, and Brad Fischetti of LFO, organizers say.

He has worked on numerous kids shows, including voicing the character of Chip Skylark on "The Fairly Oddparents," and in 2022, he competed in Season 3 of "Celebrity Big Brother" and "The Masked Singer."

Justin Timberlake has canceled his show in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday night (Feb. 27), due to the flu.

The star took to his Instagram Stories shortly before doors were scheduled to open at the Nationwide Arena to share a statement. "You guys. I'm heartbroken," he wrote. "I have to cancel the show tonight. I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team worked so hard to make this show happen. I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all."

See his post here.

The stop amid his Forget Tomorrow World Tour was originally scheduled to take place back in November, but it was postponed along with five other concerts to this month, as the "Suit & Tie" singer was struggling with bronchitis and laryngitis.

The tour is in support Timberlake's sixth solo album, Everything I Thought It Was, which features his moody R&B single, "Selfish." The new album — Timberlake's follow-up to his earthy 2018 Man of the Woods LP — was released in March 2024.

Get ready to relive the golden age of boy bands like never before! TCG Entertainment is proud to present A Boy Band Symphony—a groundbreaking live concert experience that fuses the timeless harmonies and infectious energy of boy band hits with the grandeur of a full symphony orchestra, featuring a star-studded lineup of Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), and Erik-Michael Estrada (O-Town).

Last summer, pop star Lance Bass of *NSYNC announced he was diagnosed with 1.5 diabetes after being misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes four years earlier.

"I'm all about educating people, Bass told Healthline. "This was so out of left field for me, so I know there are so many people out there, and it's also going to come out of left field. I want them to feel seen, heard, and not so scared of it.

Also known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), type 1.5 diabetes presents similarly to type 1 diabetes but with slower onset and progression.

"LADA is diagnosed in adults over 30 years old and features a slower progression of autoimmune beta-cell destruction compared to type 1 diabetes," Scott Isaacs, MD, president-elect of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, told Healthline. "Patients with LADA typically require insulin therapy within 5–10 years."

Type 1.5 diabetes is sometimes misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes due to its adult onset and gradual symptom progression, Issacs noted.

"The term 1.5 is used to describe adult-onset type 1 diabetes," Karl Nadolsky, DO, endocrinologist and diplomate at the American Board of Obesity Medicine, explained to Healthline.

The main differences among the three types of diabetes lie in their autoimmune involvement, age of onset, and insulin dependency.

"While type 1 diabetes requires immediate insulin treatment, LADA patients may initially respond to oral agents before transitioning to insulin, and type 2 diabetes management focuses on lifestyle changes and oral medications, with insulin potentially needed later in the disease course," Isaacs said.

Type 2 diabetes that progresses may also require injectable blood-sugar-lowering medications, like GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Healthline spoke with Bass to learn more about his misdiagnosis, how he is coping, and how the condition has affected his well-being and relationship.

*NSYNC upped the ante with their "Bye Bye Bye" music video.

After seeing the video for 98 Degrees' 1998 classic "Because of You," part of which the band filmed on top of the Golden State Bridge, the band knew they needed the same director, Wayne Isham, to help them hit the mark with their 2000 music video.

"When we saw what 98 Degrees did, it challenged us. So when we did 'Bye Bye Bye,' we were like, ‘We have to get Wayne involved,'" Chris Kirkpatrick shares in The CW's new documentary, The '90s Boy Band Boom.

"We knew Wayne Isham had such an edge about him that he wouldn't make it about us singing in tank tops and flowing shirts or whatever. He would take that new dirty pop that we were doing, that new edgy stuff and make it even more edgy."

Isham recalls being amazed that the five — Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake and Lance Bass — were willing to do their own stunts, particularly Kirkpatrick and Fatone, who had to run on top of a train car.

"No stunt men. Doing their own stunts, jumping from car to car," Isham, 66, recalls.

"It was so crazy. There's a part where we actually climb down the side and go into the train and I'm like, ‘Cool, it's going to be easy, let's just do it.' And they're like ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second, you have to be harnessed up,' " Kirkpatrick, 53, says.

Of the video, Isham jokes, "There are fans of mine from the metal years that are going, 'Hey Wayne, f--- you, what are you doing an *NSYNC video for?' But the guys from Metallica all said it was a good video."

When Lance Bass first connected with now-husband Michael Turchin, he had no idea it was gonna be him.

Introduced at a friend's Palm Springs, Calif. birthday party in 2011, "I didn't think he liked me," the *NSYNC singer admitted in an exclusive interview with E! News' Francesca Amiker. With all of his previous relationships, continued the musician, "It never started as a friendship. It was a very big spark and it was immediate."

Not to say the 45-year-old wasn't attracted to the Miami-bred visual artist and actor.

"I mean, of course I was into him," Bass shared of the Georgetown University grad, 38. "But I just didn't think he was into me."

Chris Kirkpatrick knew boy band life meant sometimes being the butt of a joke.

But the *NSYNC member never expected one of the most popular rappers of the early 2000s to target him directly. However, that's what happened in 2002 when Eminem released his single, "Without Me."

"We did a show in Miami and we were coming back and I started getting all of these text messages, ‘Have you heard the new Eminem song? He makes fun of you in the Eminem song,' " Kirkpatrick, 53, recalls during his appearance in CW's The '90s Boy Band Boom.

The pop singer says he reasoned, "I love Eminem and *NSYNC rhymes with everything. *NSYNC, stink, you know. It's really not that hard."

"And they're like, ‘No, no, no, you. Chris Kirkpatrick.' And I'm like, ‘Chris Kirkpatrick? That doesn't rhyme with anything,' " he continues.

Joey Fatone, best known as a member of the record-breaking boy band *NSYNC, is hitting the Broadway stage in the Max Martin jukebox musical "& Juliet."

Fatone is bringing his signature pop style to the high-energy show.

"On Stage" host Frank DiLella caught up with him to talk about his latest musical adventure.

Lance Bass is sharing an update on his health as he continues to manage his diabetes.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the Hollywood Virgin Los Angeles Magazine Book Launch Party on Wednesday, Feb. 5, the former *NSYNC member, 45, shared that his diabetes is finally "under control."

"I'm doing good," he tells PEOPLE at the event, which supported the relief efforts of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation (LAFDF). "I'm finally kind of getting it under control now that I know I'm type 1."

"I'm kind of experimenting with stem cells right now," the singer adds. "There's been some promising things about helping you use less insulin, so hopefully that'll work with me."

According to the National Institutes of Health, studies show that stem cell replacement therapy is an up-and-coming treatment for diabetes that works by reducing insulin dependency.

There's a new ancient grudge lurking inside fair Verona. In the waning years of the 20th century, it divided lunch tables, polarized school dances and forced unholy alliances, all because the people were forced to choose: "*NSYNC or Backstreet?"

Middle age softened the feud some, but Joey Fatone has returned to Broadway to end the civil blood once and for all—from the inside. On January 21, the *NSYNC baritone started his run as Lance Du Bois in & Juliet, the Max Martin jukebox musical that imagines the hot-girl Parisian summer Juliet would have had if she hadn't turned the "happy dagger" on herself. Over the course of the show, Lance falls in love with Juliet's Nurse, Angélique, and woos her with the Backstreet Boys ballad "Shape of My Heart."

"It's always interesting when you start to see an *NSYNC guy singing a Backstreet Boys song," Fatone tells Tamsen Fadal on The Broadway Show. He's seen how it can startle a crowd, having just wrapped up a tour with Backstreet Boys' very own AJ McLean. "What we do is we sing each other's songs," he says of the duo's A Legendary Night show (Nirvana covers and jazz arrangements of Little Mermaid tunes also make the chaotic set list). "It's very interesting to see that it was *NSYNC and Backstreet in the same theater and not killing each other—which was great," he says. "It's like, Hey, you can love both. It's okay."

Fatone has always had that kind of "yes-and" attitude about his career. In the past 30 years, he's been a boy-band heartthrob, a film actor, a game show host, a Food Network personality, and of course, a Broadway star. He made his Broadway debut in 2002 as bohemian filmmaker Mark Cohen in the rock musical Rent, and in 2004, replaced Hunter Foster in the Broadway premiere of Little Shop of Horrors. "[It's been] over 20 years," he says to Fadal, thinking back to his last turn on the New York stage as corrupted florist Seymour Krelborn. "A little crazy to think about. But I'm excited." He adds, "Usually I'm playing the younger roles. Now I'm playing the dad role. And I'm not mad at it."

His time in & Juliet is brief—he's there through just March 16—but after two decades away and with 15- and 23-year-old daughters with whom he'd like to spend some quality time, the balance was right. "This is the perfect way to ease into it," says Fatone. "The part is not a huge part—thank the lord—because I don't know if I could remember everything in that quick of a turnaround. But everything has been going great."

Lance Bass' *NSYNC fans have been hoping to say "bye, bye, bye" to the waiting game for a biopic -- and now he's telling us whether the band's story will finally hit the big screen, or not.

We caught up with Lance at WeHo hot spot The Abbey Wednesday with Lisa Vanderpump ... and he made it clear that talk of a biopic is actually news to him!

Catch the clip, 'cause Lance's surprise over hearing the speculation is so obvious – even Lisa's looking shocked, like he hasn't spilled the big biopic beans to her yet.

Lance takes a beat, then adds if a biopic ever comes to life, it's gonna be him -- producing, that is -- but at 45, he's not quite ready for a biopic about his life just yet.

Jessica Biel is celebrating another year of Justin Timberlake.

On Friday, Jan. 31, The Sinner star, 42, shared an Instagram post in honor of her pop star husband's 44th birthday.

"Another year to make memories that I keep sacred in my heart," Biel captioned the post. "Another year of joy and challenges being a parent with you. Another year together being curious and creative in the world. Another year growing and evolving and sometimes devolving, with you. Another year laughing about it all. Happy birthday my love"

Alongside the caption, the Summer Catch star shared a series of snaps over the years featuring the pair. In the first image, from last spring, Biel and Timberlake lean against a red archway gazing at one another. The second throwback photos features the "Cry Me a River" musician wrapping his arms around the 7th Heaven alum's waist.

The next photos feature Timberlake smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower, the family dressed in Halloween costumes and an image from behind of Timberlake and their son Silas, 9. Also included in the post is a Polaroid of Biel holding up a peace sign alongside Timberlake, the *NSYNC alum holding one of his sons as a baby and a photo of the couple kissing.

Joey Fatone and the cast of & Juliet visited Good Morning America on Thursday to perform an *NSYNC-Backstreet Boys mashup from the show, featuring Larger Than Life, It's Gonna Be Me, and Everybody. Fatone, who plays "Lance" in the hit musical comedy, is in the company for six weeks, through March 16, 2025.

Fatone made his Broadway debut in Rent and also starred in Little Shop of Horrors in 2003. & Juliet marks his first time on Broadway in more than 20 years. In the show, he sings two Backstreet Boys songs, along with additional Max Martin-penned songs by Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, and more.

& Juliet flips the script on the greatest love story ever told, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn't ended it all over Romeo, and got a second chance at life and love – on her terms. Juliet's new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name.

Nominated for 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical, & Juliet is created by the Emmy-winning writer from "Schitt's Creek" and features an iconic playlist of pop songs, including the #1 *NSYNC hit, "It's Gonna Be Me," plus songs from Katy Perry, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Ariana Grande and many more.

Ever since *NSYNC announced their "hiatus" in 2002, fans have been asking if and when the iconic boy band would reunite. Now, more than 20 years later, it appears the answer is soon.

In a recent interview with Parade timed to his Broadway return in & Juliet, *NSYNC member Joey Fatone said that he hoped to have details about a possible reunion "hopefully freaking soon."

When asked if he had news to share, Fatone said, "I wish. That sounds great. It would sound fabulous for me, but I have absolutely no idea until we have a conversation. People have been asking me when that conversation is. It's hopefully freaking soon. Honestly, after I'm done on March 16, maybe we sit down and have a conversation. Because it's getting to the point where it's like, listen, either we're doing it or we're not."

*NSYNC has reunited several times in the last few years with Fatone joining JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2018. Then in 2023, they reunited again at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Later that year, they recorded a new song, "Better Place," for Trolls Band Together. In 2024, they performed together again at Timberlake's One Night Only concert in Los Angeles, debuting the new song "Paradise," which appeared on Timberlake's album Everything I Thought It Was. The band members seem on good terms and ready to collaborate again. The question remains: how?

*NSYNC fans clamoring for the return of the boy band will have to wait a little longer, as a gestating biopic project appears to be on hold.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that veteran producer Neal H. Moritz, known for The Fast and the Furious and Sonic the Hedgehog, has been shopping the feature, which would focus on the group's success in the aftermath of its legal battle with former manager Lou Pearlman, and has met with the five members — Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick — to seek their participation.

The project proceeded to the screenwriting stage amid talk of attaching Timberlake as an executive producer. But its road to the screen faced immediate challenges. Namely, the signoffs of all five members who share ownership in the name and each of whom is represented by a different management firm. "It's complicated," says one insider of the dealmaking with the band.

Performers Joey Fatone of *NSYNC and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys recently paid a visit to Sunset Boulevard on Broadway. The paid posed with Nicole Scherzinger and the cast after the show and BroadwayWorld was there.

Joey Fatone took his first bow in & Juliet just last week. Fatone, who plays "Lance" in the hit musical comedy, is in the company for six weeks, through March 16, 2025.

Jamie Lloyd's new Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Blvd. starring Olivier Award winner and Grammy Award nominee Nicole Scherzinger as ‘Norma Desmond' opened on Sunday, October 20 at the St. James Theatre on Broadway.

Lloyd Webber's Sunset Blvd. features an iconic score including the songs "With One Look," "The Perfect Year," and "As If We Never Said Goodbye." Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond (Nicole Scherzinger) yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter (Tom Francis) who can't sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and compelling relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Blvd. focuses the lens of ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.

Joey Fatone has a bone to pick with his fellow *NSYNC bandmates, and he's not afraid to call them out.

"Motherf--kers," he mouths directly into the camera. "You heard me. "Motherf--kers."

What has *NSYNC's most affable member cussing out his longtime besties? Well, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick all reunited at a recent Justin Timberlake concert while Fatone was across the country prepping for his return to Broadway the next evening.

Fatone's choice words, however, are all tongue-in-cheek. He knew about the reunion ahead of time, and had already attended Timberlake's The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. "It sucks. I had FOMO," Fatone tells Parade in an interview just two days into his Broadway run. "Then the funny part was, of course, Justin had to call me out on stage and say, 'Hey, I'm glad they didn't bring Joey.' And you know why? Because if you would have said something like that, my ass would have ran up on stage, and I would have just grabbed the microphone."

Fatone couldn't rush Timberlake on stage because he was about to storm onto Broadway instead. After more than 20 years, Fatone is returning to Broadway as Lance Du Bois in the Broadway smash & Juliet. The musical, which is an alternative version of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet in which Juliet does not kill herself, is based on the music of iconic producer Max Martin. The Swedish songwriter is behind many pop hits from artists like Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, The Backstreet Boys and yes, *NSYNC.

Former *NSYNC star Joey Fatone is still eager for an official reunion — even though his four former bandmates got together last week without him.

Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick all went along to Justin Timberlake's show on Monday, January 20, while Fatone was busy on Broadway in & Juliet. Bass wrote via Instagram, "In honor of Joey's Broadway debut tonight, we had a date night without him" — but thankfully Fatone, 48, has taken the snub in good humor and still wants to reunite properly.

"I texted them, I said, ‘you sons of bee-yatches!'" he told E! News, when asked if the beloved boy band were planning a reunion tour. "That's why I'm trying to get these guys together, so we can have that conversation."

Fatone added that he has now invited his old friends to come and see his Broadway show, in the hope that they can talk afterwards about the much-anticipated — especially by Fatone — reunion.

Lance Bass is "Tearin' Up" Joey Fatone's heart with a roast for his birthday — affectionately, of course.

The *NSYNC alum, 45, had several sassy remarks to share with his former bandmate on Tuesday, January 28, which was Fatone's 48th birthday.

First, the media personality posted two side-by-side photos of himself with Fatone on his Instagram Story — one that was recent, and one from the boy band days where they both rocked the classic '90s "frosted tips" look.

"Happy Birthday, @realjoeyfatone!" he wrote on the post. "Remember, with age comes wisdom — and yet, here we are."

But the Dancing With The Stars alum wasn't finished teasing, as he took an opportunity to shout out Fatone's latest venture — a nine week run in the cast of & Juliet on Broadway. In the show, Fatone is playing a character named Lance, which clearly delighted Bass. He posted an image of a signed photograph he'd sent to Fatone with a message. "Dear Joey," he wrote, "I'm so glad to see your dreams come true. You finally get to be Lance. Congratulations!"

Joey's back, alright! Wait, wrong boy band. Nonetheless, it works: Despite famously being a member of *NSYNC, Joey Fatone sings multiple Backstreet Boys songs in & Juliet on Broadway, the pop musical in which he stars through March 16.

Thirty songs from Grammy-winning songwriter/music producer Max Martin, made famous by these bands and other pop stars, score the show that imagines what would happen if Shakespeare's Juliet didn't die after losing Romeo. Fatone plays Lance, Juliet's friend's imposing father who falls into an unexpected romance of his own.

Fatone joins a mini-boy band renaissance on the New York theatre scene; for one, New Kids on the Block's Joey McIntyre just wrapped a run in Drag: The Musical off Broadway. The crossover is natural, according to Fatone.

Theatre is "where we started," he said. "Joey Mac has always been a theatre kid. I've always been a theatre kid. Crazy enough, a lot of the people I went to high school with have come out to do shows." The alum of Orlando, Florida's Dr. Phillips High School attended within 10 years of Wayne Brady, Aladdin's Michael James Scott, and Tony Award nominee Tony Yazbeck, among others.

Fatone made his own Broadway debut in Little Shop of Horrors in 2002, going on to lead Rent for a limited run in 2004. & Juliet marks his first time back since then, and despite the challenges, he said he's been having "a blast" getting to finally return to an art he loves.

"I wasn't really nervous-nervous. It was just a matter of getting things out and making sure I tell the story," Fatone said. "It's [an] amazing adrenaline rush."

When you see Joey Fatone rocking his body to "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" in the hit Broadway musical "& Juliet," you might think that you have been transported to an alternate boy band universe.

But yes, that is the *NSYNC crooner singing the signature bop by the Backstreet Boys in the reimagining of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" — where the heroine decides not to kill herself after finding her beloved beau dead.

As Lance Du Bois — a man-in-tights role he will be playing through March 16 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre — Fatone also performs another Backstreet fave, "Shape of My Heart."

"It's gonna be interesting for people that are fans of Backstreet and fans of *NSYNC to come see that," he told The Post.

Fatone, 48, also sings Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Ariana Grande's "Break Free" in the musical set to the tunes of Swedish hitmaker Max Martin — from Britney Spears' "… Baby One More Time" to Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!"

Pop star Joey Fatone had known about the development of the musical & Juliet for a long time, and was interested in doing it from the beginning. So when he got the call from producers that they were ready for him to come in to the Broadway run, it was an immediate yes. He worked to find a space in his busy schedule. "Getting back in a theatre, on the grind, it's fun!" he tells Playbill.

Fatone is stepping into the Max Martin jukebox musical for a limited run until March 16. Fatone's previous Broadway credits include Rent and Little Shop of Horrors. In & Juliet, Fatone plays Lance, who is a father and, also, a former member of a boy band. Which is something like art imitating life. He says that sharing the stage with young performers makes him think back to his early days with *NSYNC.

"It's amazing because I remember having the aspirations, the hunger, the drive. I still have the hunger and the drive, but it's different. It's not like I need to be somebody. As far as *NSYNC, I became somebody with them, and then I did stuff on my own. I've done a lot of the things I've always dreamt about doing." He then exclaims, "Mentally, you start to go, 'Holy shit, I am that age!' I'm now taking on the father roles, which I am okay with."

& Juliet flips the script on the William Shakespeare classic, imagining what would happen next if Juliet hadn't ended it all over Romeo. Featuring a book by David West Read, the score includes a mix of tunes by pop songwriter Max Martin, including "Since U Been Gone," "Roar," "I Want It That Way," and "Confident." It also includes songs from *NSYNC, though Fatone doesn't sing those.

When Beyoncé appeared as a Musical Guest on Saturday Night Live over 15 years ago, anyone and everyone was listening to her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce. Her black and white music video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was everywhere — and SNL's writers expertly captured this pop culture moment with a side-splitting sketch, featuring four dudes.

Starring November 18, 2008 Host Paul Rudd, Season 34 cast members Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan, and special guest Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé played herself in the "Single Ladies" sketch — and according to Timberlake, it took some convincing from her "Until the End of Time" collaborator himself. In fact, Timberlake truly had to walk the walk (in heels) to make it happen.

The SNL Five-Timers Club member told the tale in Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music, Questlove and Oz Rodriguez's documentary, which debuted on NBC on January 27.

Timberlake said it started with a text from Samberg asking if he was in town. "He said Bobby Moynihan has this great idea for a sketch about you, me, and him being Beyoncé's background dancers that never made the cut," he says in the documentary. "I was like ‘full leotard'? And he's like, ‘yeah.' I was like, ‘This is too funny. We have to do this.'"

Justin Timberlake was saying hi hi hi to his former *NSYNC bandmates.

The singer, 43, had some surprise guests in the audience while performing at the Thousand Palms, California, stop of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick showed up to Timberlake's concert, as seen in Bass' Tuesday TikTok video.

The footage shows the artist onstage as he spots the trio in the crowd.

"Why didn't you guys text me?" Timberlake mouths before laughing and moving to another part of the stage.

The clip cuts to Bass dancing, with the text reading: "On second thought, maybe we should have texted Justin before we showed up."

Bass, 45, Chasez, 48, and Kirkpatrick, 53, continued to dance together in the audience as Timberlake performed onstage.

Joey Fatone is officially back on the boards!

After two decades away from Broadway, the singer and actor returned to the stage on Tuesday, Jan. 21, taking his first bow in the hit musical & Juliet. He's playing a nine-week engagement in the show, replacing original Broadway cast member Paulo Szot in the role of Lance through March 16.

Photographers captured the *NSYNC singer at the curtain call, where he was gifted a bouquet of flowers from members of the company. He later greeted eager fans at the stage door, signing autographs and posing for pictures.

A video shared to & Juliet's Instagram account showed more footage of the milestone evening, including clips of Fatone celebrating backstage with AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys.

The two have developed a friendship over the years, coming a long way from the days their boy bands were rivals. They even traveled the country together last year in a joint headline tour in which they reminisced about their time in the spotlight and performed a variety of their hits together.

It was almost a full *NSYNC reunion at Justin Timberlake's Jan. 20 concert at the Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, Calif.

During his Monday night set, the "SexyBack" hitmaker took a break to shout out three of his former bandmates who happened to be in the audience: JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick.

"Much to my surprise, [it's] a very special night tonight," a smiling Timberlake, 43, told the crowd in a video shared by Bass, 45, on Instagram Tuesday.

"They were smart and left Joey at home," Timberlake joked before introducing Chasez, 48, Kirkpatrick, 53 and Bass. "I love you guys."

"And the biggest round of applause, ‘cause we got JC out the house, baby!" the singer added.

As Timberlake noted, Joey Fatone was conspicuously absent. *NSYNC's fifth member was likely in New York City prepping for his Jan. 21 debut in Broadway's & Juliet.

During a concert packed with wall-to-wall hits and jaw-dropping stage production, Justin Timberlake slowed things down Saturday night (Jan. 18) in Anaheim, California, to reflect on the devastating wildfires that have ravaged the neighboring Los Angeles County since last week.

"I want to take a moment to recognize what's going on in LA," he said from the intimate DJ stage tucked into the floor section of the Honda Center, where he was surrounded by 360 degrees of fans. "I want to give a shout-out to the first responders, firefighters, citizens of the community, all that you gave."

He went on to acknowledge the proximity of the Orange County arena, saying, "I'm sure so many of us in this room know someone, or is related to someone, or has heard about someone so close to us being affected by this devastating incident. And so many of us onstage either live there and in the crew know people who live there, and we just came from there, and it truly is devastating."

Timberlake ended things on a positive note by shouting out the way the community has rallied around the crisis to find ways to help everyone affected. "I just wanted to recognize how beautiful it is, how well everyone has responded in that area. And I just wanted to say: Keep your thoughts and prayers with LA. Donate if you can — if you can — but thoughts and prayers with LA. Thank you so much, Anaheim."

In collaboration with the clothing brand Maybe Tomorrow, Timberlake announced that all proceeds from a limited-edition beanie would be donated to wildfire relief efforts. The black beanie sold out, but the white version is still available here. Both are also being sold in merch stands on the tour while supplies last.

Lance Bass is celebrating 25 years of "Bye, Bye, Bye" — and he's sharing the song's legacy with his son!

In a clip posted on Instagram on Friday, Jan. 17, the former *NSYNC member — who is dad to 3-year-old twins Alexander and Violet — can be seen cradling Alexander in his lap while they watch the "Bye, Bye, Bye" music video on a screen positioned off-camera.

"Bye, bye, bye!" sings Alexander. This prompts Lance, 45, to ask, "Can you do your hand?"

Alexander then repeats the famous lyrics, only this time he mimics the iconic hand gesture from the video.

"In honor of Bye Bye Bye's 25th anniversary," Lance captioned the post.

Twenty-five years after *NSYNC released its breakup anthem "Bye Bye Bye" on Jan. 17, 2020, fans still haven't gotten over the boy band's own split.

But after the group appeared at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and then released the single "Better Place" from the "Trolls Band Together" soundtrack, there was buzz that the group might be reuniting in a bigger way for an album or tour.

Since then, however, *NSYNC has only appeared on the "Paradise" track off Justin Timberlake's 2024 album "Everything I Thought It Was."

"We have to have a conversation," Joey Fatone, 47, exclusively told The Post. "That's really what it boils down to. And we're gonna hopefully do that soon. We keep saying ‘soon,' but it's getting where it's like either s—t or get off the pot. Let's be real."

And with the 25th anniversary of *NSYNC's blockbuster album "No Strings Attached" coming up in March, Fatone thinks that it's time for "that moment of the five of us sitting down going, ‘OK, what does this look like? Do we want to do a tour? Is it just a tour? Is it an album? Is it an EP? Are we not going to do anything? Like, what exactly are we going to do?'"

It might sound crazy, but *NSYNC was in danger of going "Bye Bye Bye" before the boy band's signature song was released 25 years ago on Jan. 17, 2000.

After scoring hits such as "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart" on their self-titled debut album — released in 1997 in Germany and 1998 in the US — the group was locked in a highly publicized legal battle with former manager Lou Pearlman and former label RCA Records. After suing Pearlman for fraud and misrepresentation, they were countersued with the threat of no longer being able to record or perform under the name *NSYNC.

But after facing an uncertain future, the quintet of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick settled out of court and said goodbye to all that drama with "Bye Bye Bye," the smash single that found them embarking on a new chapter with a new label, Jive Records, and a new attitude.

The first single from *NSYNC's blockbuster album "No Strings Attached" was a tie-cutting statement that took them to the stratospheric heights at the dawn of the new millennium.

"I guess it was the right timing — let's be real," Fatone, 47, exclusively told The Post. "It happened [right after] the lawsuit. All eyes were on us. What was going on? Are they gonna put a new album out?

"It's a message more about a girl and a guy and their relationship, not so much about the business itself. But it kind of worked that way."

Indeed, for *NSYNC, the breakup song was a defiant declaration of independence.

"It was the emancipation of a boy band that had legions of fans on a global basis," said Barry Weiss, former president of Jive Records. "It was a perfect epithet to the first stage of their career and represented their emancipation, where they took matters into their own hands."

And as *NSYNC gave "Bye Bye Bye" a whole new meaning, they capitalized on all of the controversy.

"The whole court case and the whole dispute … played out in the court of public opinion," said Weiss. "So it also gave tremendous momentum to the song when it came out. The record sort of encapsulated everything that was going on with the group and their struggles against Lou Pearlman and the big bad wolf of the record company, and it all just played into the public sympathy and led to a huge explosion of the song on impact."

Justin Timberlake can't stop the wheeling.

The "Mirrors" singer took part in a "bike bus" with Sam Balto, the co-founder of Bike Bus and other bikers in Portland, Ore. for a ride on a rainy day.

"BIKE BUS! Thank you @coachbalto for letting me and @thetnkids join your morning ride yesterday," the Instagram Reel from Monday, Jan. 13 read. "You're bringing joy to a lot of people out here @bikebusworld"

Timberlake, 43, was joined by his tour family for the ride, which had dozens of children and adults participating. In the clip, Balto mentioned that the Bike Bus takes place "rain or shine."

Balto, in turn, thanked Timberlake for participating in the eco-friendly initiative. "Thank you @justintimberlake & @thetnkids for joining the #BikeBus in Portland!!! The bike bus movement is on a mission to get more children & families biking to school! Learn more at BikeBusWorld.org @bikebusworld."

Bike Bus is "on a mission to transform the wellbeing of children, communities, and our climate, through biking together to school," as per their website.

The past few years have been huge for *NSYNC. In 2023, the boy band reunited and released their first new single in years, "Better Place," which gave them another hit. Following that success, there have been rumors that more tunes, and perhaps even a tour, may be in the works, but for the moment, everyone in the group is remaining mum about what's next.

*NSYNC does return to the charts this week, as they are still hugely popular, especially among millennials. The quintet bounces back to several rankings with holiday music. This frame, they land on both a songs list and one roster dedicated to albums, and even if it's only for a short stay, the fact that the boy band has reappeared at all is notable.

The group's "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" is a worldwide hit once more this frame. The single reappears on the Billboard Global 200 at No. 106.

Chris Kirkpatrick posted a video on his Instagram, on stage during karaoke alongside his son and his son's best friend aboard Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Treasure.

Chris Kirkpatrick set off on an adventure aboard Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Treasure. He posted a video on his Instagram featuring his son Nash and his best friend performing karaoke to the popular *NSYNC song "Bye Bye Bye." He then joins his son up on stage, and as you can see in the video and many others have pointed out, he joins in, but does not take over or show off.

Lance Bass isn't big on regrets, but if he had the chance to do it all again, he'd enjoy the ride a little bit more. "My advice to my younger self would be: ‘Don't worry so much. Everything's going to happen the way it's supposed to,'" says the 45-year-old, who joined *NSYNC at age 16. The super-successful boyband went on to sell more than 70 million records worldwide, but making the jump from music superstar to actor and host wasn't exactly a walk in the park. (During the December 5 episode of the "Politickin'" podcast, Lance revealed that a TV show pilot he was working on for The CW network was scrapped after he came out in 2006.) "The entertainment business is insane. You're constantly trying to reinvent yourself and figuring out where you belong," he says. "I wish I'd learned as a younger person to not stress about things." Here, the host of the "Frosted Tips With Lance Bass" podcast and dad of two (he and his husband of 10 years, Michael Turchin, 37, welcomed twins Violet and Alexander via surrogate in October 2021) talks to In Touch's Lindsay Hoffman about silver linings, fatherhood – and what's next for *NSYNC.

Jessica Biel upped her Christmas game with some next-level Elf on the Shelf setups this holiday season.

On Dec. 25, the mom of two posted an Instagram carousel showing some of the creative ways she spices up the holiday for her sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4, both of whom she shares with husband Justin Timberlake.

Biel shared a collection of photos and videos of toy elves getting into all kinds of trouble, including one snap of an elf holding a black marker beside framed photos of each of their kids. Facial hair and hats had been scribbled all over their portraits.

It wasn't just Biel orchestrating behind the scenes either. Timberlake got in on the fun as well, according to an Instagram Reel he shared on Christmas Day. In his video, the elf stood behind a paper a turntable labeled "DJ Fart-Butt." The setup included other mini accessories, like a laptop, speakers and headphones.

Techno music blasted as the singer showed off the elf's DJ booth from all angles. He panned up to his smirking wife and they repeated her original caption: "Naughty ass elf."

"Daddy got ahold of the elf…" Timberlake wrote alongside the musical Reel from his account.

Grab your butterfly clips and dust off your platform sneakers, because the ultimate boy band dream is coming true—complete with some symphonic flair.

This isn't just a tribute, either. Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, Erik-Michael Estrada of O-Town, and Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC are stepping back into the spotlight to remind you why their posters adorned your childhood bedroom walls. This show blends pop perfection with symphonic sophistication for a concert that hits harder than Justin Timberlake's highlighted curls.

Founding *NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick dropped into Audacy's The Bubba Show at 100.7 STAR Pittsburgh this week to discuss his brand new holiday song, "Falling In Love At Christmas."

Tasked by a friend to create a Christmas song, Chris tells us he first "kind of laughed it off," but after giving the challenge some consideration he came up with a little idea.

Kirkpatrick adds, "I called my buddy Bryan Popin and my buddy Mike Bosch, and I was like, 'Hey, I came up with this concept... what do you guys think [you] can do?' They got to work putting a little track together, we went over to the studio, recorded it, and I called Richard [Bazzy] and I said 'I got a song for you real quick... you wanted me to do a little Christmas song...' So, I guess this is me, Brian, Mike, and Richard's attempt at a Christmas song."

"The concept was maybe three weeks ago," Chris explains, and although he premiered a demo of the track on-air, he plans on remixing and mastering what he's tentatively calling "Falling In Love At Christmas" in the coming months.
