Lance Bass was just 16 when *NSYNC started in 1995, instantly snatched out of his humble upbringing in Mississippi to jet setting around Europe - and eventually the world - as a member of the buzziest boy band on the planet.

In order to recharge from the whirlwind during the group's pop culture reign, he eventually turned to solo getaways. "When I was in *NSYNC, I did a couple of trips by myself where I dyed my hair blue-black," he told Travel + Leisure on a Zoom call last month. "It made me stand out more because I looked like this goth guy that was very pale because we didn't see the sun back in those days. I went to Cancun just to relax and have a me-time vacation."

Though he has yet to take a solo trip again since then, he still craves that feeling."It's nice to just chill and let your brain relax and have no responsibility for a couple of days," he said.

Nowadays his travels look a little different as he and husband Michael Turchin are parents to 2 1/2-year-old twins, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty.

"The first couple of years, it was tricky to travel with them because you never know when one's gonna have a meltdown since you can't really communicate with them to understand why they're crying," the 44-year-old said. "Now that they're having full conversations, it's a lot easier to fly with them. You can distract them easier with games and some snacks. Traveling is just a breeze these days compared to what it was a year ago."

Justin Timberlake's collab with *NSYNC, "Paradise," has got everybody looking back - but on March 21, group members Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick looked all the way back to the group's most iconic album.

March 21, 2024, marks the 24th anniversary of the release of No Strings Attached, the album the group made after freeing themselves from manager Lou Pearlman. It sold 2.4 million copies in its first week - a sales record that stood until Adele released 25 in 2015. To date, it's sold more than 15 million copies worldwide.

The album produced the group's signature song, "Bye Bye Bye," as well as "It's Gonna Be Me," "This I Promise You" and fan favorite "It Makes Me Ill."

On Instagram, Chris posted video of the group's tour in support of the album and wrote, "What were you doing back in 2000? Happy 24th to this one!!" The official *NSYNC account reposted fans' memories of release day.

Meanwhile, Lance posted the album cover on Instagram and wrote, "Happy 24th to our second born! Give me 3 of your favorites in no order. I'll go first.... It's Makes Me Ill - I Thought She Knew- Bye Bye Bye."

Justin Timberlake's Forget Tomorrow World Tour is giving the 10-time Grammy winner the fastest-selling and highest-grossing tour of his career thus far.

This week, Complex learned that the tour has amassed more than $140 million globally across over 70 shows. Furthermore, more than one million JT fans are expected to be in attendance across the Everything I Thought It Was artist's North America and Europe dates.

In February, JT announced an additional 15 stops on the second leg of the tour, including a hometown show in Memphis. Timberlake's North America dates begin April 29 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver before the singer touches down in Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Austin, Atlanta, and more on the first leg. The second leg, meanwhile, kicks off on Oct. 4 in Montreal and will also see JT bringing the show to Brooklyn, Newark, Detroit, Chicago, Orlando, Nashville, and more.

Everything I Thought It Was, Timberlake's sixth album and his first since 2018's Chris Stapleton-featuring Man of the Woods, arrived last Friday alongside the Ti West-directed video for JT's "No Angels" track.

Justin Timberlake is feeling nostalgic with *NSYNC.

Following the release of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, on Friday (March 15), the star took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes clip of the making of "Paradise," his collaboration with former boy band *NSYNC. In the video, the five-piece group are seen recording vocals on the unifying track, where the band comes together on the chorus to sing, "Everything is happening/ And it's just what I imagined/ I imagine it would feel like paradise."

"In the studio with my brothers. Thank you all for the PARADISE love," he captioned the post.

Travis Kelce is reminiscing about a "fun, fun evening" at pal Justin Timberlake's One Night Only show in Los Angeles, California.

Travis was sure to plug Timberlake's new album, Everything I Thought It Was, while gushing that the performer "always makes unbelievable music."

The 34-year-old athlete was among those treated to a surprise *NSYNC reunion during Timberlake's show at The Wiltern, when the group teamed up to deliver their new song, "Paradise."

"He was playing a bunch of renditions of his old classics, absolute bangers," Travis said. "It was so cool to see him play some of my favorites, man, and then on top of that a handful of his new stuff."

Joey Fatone is opening up about his recent *NSYNC reunion and performance.

Appearing alongside Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean on Tuesday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, Fatone, 47, revealed he didn't tell his mom and dad that the group would be reuniting at fellow bandmate Justin Timberlake's one-night show in Los Angeles earlier this month.

"I didn't tell nobody. I didn't even tell my parents," Fatone said, joking, "My father has a very large mouth. He likes to tell anybody; he's very proud."

"My mom would always be quiet, but I always have to tell them like right before or right after," he continued. "I didn't tell my publicist; I didn't tell nobody. ... Surprise!"

Some *NSYNC fans think all the other guys are at Justin Timberlake's beck and call these days amid these little mini collabs they've been doing... but Joey Fatone says that's BS.

We got the boy band singer at LAX on Monday and asked him all about their recent gig with JT in L.A. amid his latest album drop -- where there's a song that features *NSYNC, serving as just the latest team-up they've done in the studio ... with fans wanting the real thing.

Of course, our photog asked about the prospect of a proper reunion for *NSYNC ... and Joey gave us the standard line of not-now-but-maybe-one-day, which we've heard for months.

Basically ... Joey says everyone's busy, so there's no official coming-together happening in the near future -- but does acknowledge that if they were to get in the studio again for brand new music in 2024, it'd probably sound something very much like their new track "Paradise."

Lance Bass and AJ McLean are proud girl dads!

On Sunday, *NSYNC star Bass, 44, shared a video of himself lip-syncing and dancing to Muni Long's "Made For Me" on Instagram while showing off his pink hairstyle.

Backstreet Boys singer McLean, 46, then appeared in the video sporting his own pink 'do as he sang back to Bass, mouthing lyrics including, "Where have you been?" as Bass lip-synced, "Nobody knows me like you do."

"When you're both in your pink era," Bass wrote over the video, which ended with the pair hugging and dancing together. "Girl dads," he captioned the post.

Lance Bass is a fan of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce!

On Wednesday, the *NSYNC band member, 44, posed for a photo with Kelce backstage at Justin Timberlake's free show in Los Angeles.

Bass - who has been vocal about being a Swiftie - shared the photo of the two on his Instagram Story, referencing Swift's viral "Karma" lyric change writing, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs." The photo showed Bass with his arm around Kelce, smiling from ear to ear.

The boy band member also tagged Kelce, 34, underneath the photo and hilariously wrote, "#StillNotTaylorSwift."

Justin Timberlake's new album, Everything I Thought It Was, is out now, and it includes "Paradise," which reunites him with *NSYNC. On March 13 in LA, the group reunited onstage as well to perform the track live - and Joey Fatone tells ABC Audio he believes it's an example of what *NSYNC would sound like if they made an album today.

"It's a great song. Enjoy it," he says. "I hope people really do. It's a bada** song, I ain't gonna lie."

There are 18 songs on the album, so why did JT decide to reunite *NSYNC for "Paradise"?

"When you hear it, you'll know. When you listen to it, you'll understand," Joey says. "It's kind of in the lyrics ... it's kind of like, the newer version of *NSYNC, if we were to do something further."

"I think this is the song that would take it to the next level of what *NSYNC would sound like if we did another album," he adds.

He emphasizes, "Not saying we're going to, I'm just saying if."

In absence of a full *NSYNC reunion tour, Joey and Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean are kicking off their joint A Legendary Night tour March 15. But AJ's still holding out hope that one day both groups can do one giant performance. "Both bands have the best fans in the world. They're so loyal," AJ says.

Chris Kirkpatrick may have made *NSYNC fans happy on Wednesday night (March 13), but Travis Kelce made the singer's son happy.

Kirkpatrick was in attendance at Justin Timberlake's one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles ahead of the release of his sixth solo album, Everything I Thought It Was. In fact, he took the stage for an *NSYNC reunion alongside JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone to perform their hits "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me" and debuted the new collaborative track "Paradise."

Travis Kelce was also at the event, and took some time to take a sweet photo with Kirkpatrick's son, seven-year-old Nash. "What an amazing night topped off by this special moment when @killatrav took a picture with Nash," the singer wrote on Instagram alongside the snap, in which the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is seen smiling with his hand on Nash's shoulder.

Justin Timberlake joined NPR's Tiny Desk Concert for an intimate performance following the arrival of his new album Everything I Thought It Was.

The 25-minute set showcased seven classic JT songs, as well as a recent single. Backed by his Tennessee Kids band, Timberlake kicked off with "Senorita," followed by "Rock Your Body," "Pusher Love Girl," "Until the End of Time," "Selfish," "What Goes Around," and "SexyBack."

"We've been out on the road a little bit," Timberlake said as he picked up a guitar. "I forget how many of us there are...y'all really lived up to the name Tiny Desk," he added, nodding to the 15-person band.

Just before setting off on another world tour, the 43-year-old pop star dropped off his sixth solo studio album. His latest offering includes 18 tracks with previously released singles "Selfish" and "Drown," and features from Tobe Nwigwe, Fireboy DML, and *NSYNC.

"I worked for a long time on this album and I ended up with 100 songs," he told Zane Lowe back in January. "So narrowing them down to 18 was a thing, and then, yeah, I'm really excited about this album. I think every artist probably says this, but it is my best work."

Over the past few months, Justin Timberlake has been staging one-off shows across the United States in anticipation of his new album "Everything I Thought It Was," out this Friday, bringing lively performances to his native Memphis and New York City. But those who were lucky enough to snag a free ticket to attend his "One Night Only" show on Wednesday (March 13) at The Wiltern in Los Angeles got a once - or, technically, twice - in-a-lifetime experience, as the pop singer reunited with his group *NSYNC to perform for the first time since 2013.

The last time that *NSYNC joined together as a quintet was at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, when Timberlake received the Video Vanguard Award. Before that, it was back in their glory days. Rumors were circulating in the audience and music industry reps were promising something special would take place at The Wiltern, with speculation flying that a reunion was in store. And just before the end of the show, when Timberlake typically wades into the audience while the DJ plays some of his classics, the opening notes of *NSYNC's "Gone" kicked up. As the curtain rose, the four additional members joined Timberlake for a brief, but powerful, mini-set, touring some of their biggest hits and debuting their new collaboration "Paradise," included on Timberlake's "Everything."

Lance Bass knows just how hectic planning a family getaway can be.

While chatting with PEOPLE about his partnership with Allegra, the musician, 44, also opens up about taking trips with husband Michael Turchin and their 2-year-old twins - son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty.

"It's hard to plan anything these days because every time I plan something, it always gets canceled. I always get some kind of job," Bass says.

"So a lot of our trips are kind of last minute like, 'Okay, let's do a road trip here,' " the *NSYNC singer adds.

Lance Bass is loving dad life!

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE tied to his partnership with Allegra, the musician, 44, opens up about raising his 2-year-old twins - son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty - whom he shares with husband Michael Turchin.

"I feel like every day is a different milestone, and it is just incredible," Bass says. "They're in school now, which I think is really insane - they're little people now."

"They can communicate with you. You're having these conversations, and it's just so surreal to think just two years ago, which seems like yesterday, they were just little blobs on the couch and couldn't do anything," he continues.

Adds Bass: "Now they're being little stinkers trying to aggravate you. It's just been the most rewarding thing ever."

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean are teaming up for A Legendary Night tour, kicking off March 15 in Rancho Mirage, California. Joey's done live performances with various boy band members over the years, but he and AJ make the best team because, he says, "We just love to perform."

"We love to get out there. We love the audience," he tells ABC Audio. And since *NSYNC isn't touring, he welcomes the opportunity. "To get a chance to do that, especially with AJ, is an honor and a privilege," he says.

As for AJ, he says it's an honor to join Joey as they sing songs from their respective groups - or, as AJ puts it, "certain songs that I wish were Backstreet Boys songs, not gonna lie." AJ will also sing songs from his new solo EP, but Joey says, "I just want to perform and have fun. That's seriously what this is about."

He teases, "It's going to be very interactive with the audience. We're going to change the styles of certain songs. We may flip things on its head and just change it up a little bit."

In certain cities they'll be calling their celebrity pals to see if they're available to join them onstage - just one reason why AJ says each show will be unique. "We do have the luxury of having a live band. We can literally feed off of what the crowd's energy is," he explains.

Lance Bass is no "troll," but don't tell his kids.

The 44-year-old, of *NSYNC fame, is best known to his 2 1/2-year-old twins as being in "Trolls Band Together," the movie which included a highly-anticipated *NSYNC reunion song, "Better Place," on its soundtrack. It was the first new song the group recorded in 20 years.

Now, *NSYNC is reuniting again on member Justin Timberlake's new album out March 15, "Everything I Thought It Was," with the song "Paradise."

"We recorded that a long time ago when we recorded 'Better Place,' so we've been sitting on this for a while," Bass says over a Zoom call from Los Angeles. "Hard not to talk about it. But I'm glad that it's about to come out because it is such a special song. One of my favorites I've ever recorded. My mom cried immediately when she heard it. So it's Mom-approved."

Lance Bass couldn't be more excited that *NSYNC reunited for a song on Justin Timberlake's new album, Everything I Thought It Was.

"The song is called 'Paradise,'" Bass, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly while chatting about his partnership with Allegra Airways. "We recorded it a while ago and we've been sitting on it. This is a hard secret to keep. I'm so glad [Justin] confirmed it because it's like, 'OK, I can talk about 'Paradise.'"

Last month, Timberlake, 43, confirmed the boy band would be featured on his upcoming sixth studio album. "Blink twice if *NSYNC is on a song called Paradise," read a fan comment the singer shared in a February 28 TikTok. In response, Timberlake blinked twice into the camera.

Bass told Us that "Paradise" has become one of his "favorite songs we've ever recorded together" and teased that the track is "very special" and "very emotional."

Lance Bass is learning how to live with diabetes.

"I developed diabetes during COVID, and I'm really trying to figure out how to control that," the musician says in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE tied to his partnership with Allegra. "I'm definitely conscious of my eating now."

"I'm learning what you can eat, when you can eat, when you take your insulin - and all that has just been really hard lately," says Bass, 44.

Lance Bass is saying "bye, bye, bye" to any bad habits and devoting "every little thing" he does to all things health and wellness.

"I'm in my 40s now, so I need to stop pretending I'm 21," the singer says over a Zoom call, enjoying a beautiful day in Los Angeles. That means keeping his heart rate up through exercise, including lifting and making sure he is toning his muscle.

Bass, 44, developed diabetes within the past few years, and he's still trying to figure out how to deal with that - testing what to eat and seeing how his body reacts. "It's all kind of trial and error right now as I try to get all this under control," he says. In the process of trying to improve his health overall, he has also taken a closer look at things like allergies, partnering with Allegra Airways to help allergy sufferers find areas with less pollen and air pollution.

His health goals took center stage because of two important people in his life: "I want to be here as long as I can for my kids," says the father of 2½-year-old twins, Alexander and Violet. Fatherhood "changed my life completely."

Bass spoke to USA TODAY about all things fatherhood, his LGBTQ+ legacy, wellness and his mental health.

Justin Timberlake is releasing more *NSYNC music.

The singer and Spotify unveiled the tracklist for Timberlake's new album Everything I Thought It Was on Monday, which features 18 songs including a song with *NSYNC.

"Paradise" will mark the boy band's second new song following their reunion for the single "Better Place" - their first song together in over two decades - for the film Trolls Band Together.

Liam Payne's latest single is the product of a studio session with a fellow boybander... but not any of the guys you may be thinking of!

On Friday, the 30-year-old One Direction alum dropped his latest single "Teardrops," a heartfelt ballad written alongside songwriter Jamie Scott and none other than JC Chasez of *NSYNC.

The track, which marks Payne's first new single in three years, arrives nearly five years after his debut studio album LP1 and follows what Payne has called a "year long process of self-reflection" in the studio with longtime collaborator Scott.

"Teardrops is about the vulnerability of heartbreak and the challenge of overcoming those moments," the singer said in a release.

"This song marks the start of a new beginning, there's lots more to come in 2024."

They're not going "Bye Bye Bye" anytime soon!

Months after joining forces on a new song for the first time in more than two decades, it looks like *NSYNC will reunite once again, this time on Justin Timberlake's new album.

Timberlake, 43, seemingly confirmed that he's set to team up with JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone again on the new song "Paradise," which will appear on his upcoming album Everything I Thought It Was.

The "Mirrors" singer slyly teased the project on Wednesday, when he responded to a fan's TikTok comment that said, "Blink twice if *NSYNC is on a song called Paradise." On Wednesday, Timberlake shared a response video that featured him pulling down a pair of sunglasses and blinking twice, before pulling them back up and smiling.

The comment was originally left on a video that showed the star holding copies of the deluxe vinyl edition of his new album, which is set for release on March 15.

At the turn of the millennium, the battle lines in the boy-band wars were fairly clear. You were either on Team Backstreet Boys or Team *NSYNC. Some fans took a Switzerland-like stance and professed equal love for both groups, but they were mostly full of shit. Everyone had a favorite.

The cold war turned hot when *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick and the Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean dated the same woman a couple of years apart. "I wanted to punch AJ's lights out for a little while," Kirkpatrick said years later. "I guess he was talking smack to her about me, so I confronted him on it and wanted to kick his ass."

There was also the small matter that both groups were managed by Lou Pearlman, signed to Jive Records, and produced by Max Martin. Backstreet Boys moved more albums overall, but *NSYNC shattered all industry records when No Strings Attached sold 2.4 million copies its first week out in 2000. *NSYNC also produced the only genuine solo star of the two groups - Justin Timberlake - which is why they disbanded in 2005. Backstreet Boys, meanwhile, are still going strong over 30 years after they formed.

This year, Backstreet Boys are off the road, which frees up McLean up for a collaborative tour with *NSYNC's Joey Fatone that will officially mark the last vestiges of any sense of rivalry between the two groups. They have yet to finalize the set list, but expect them to cross the boy-band streams by playing each other's songs throughout the evening.

We hopped on a Zoom with McLean and Fatone to hear about the history of their supposed feud, how they came together for this tour, what fans can expect once they take the stage together, and the ultimate dream of an *NSYNC/Backstreet Boys mega tour.

Justin Timberlake is loving family life!

The "Selfish" singer, 43, shared some sweet comments about his wife Jessica Biel and two sons Silas, 8, and Phineas, 3, in a candid moment on The Graham Norton Show, which aired on Friday.

"I have two wonderful children, who are going to be the death of me," Timberlake joked on the show. "But yeah two boys and a wonderful wife and I'm just happy," he said, playfully adding, "Is that controversial these days?"

During the conversation with the host Graham Norton, the singer discussed his forthcoming album Everything I Thought It Was. Timberlake - who appeared on the show alongside Dua Lipa, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet and Adrian Lester - explained he came up with the title after reflecting on his life and feeling grateful for it.

Justin Timberlake is back with new music.

The 43-year-old singer and actor released a single and lyric video for the song "Drown" on Friday.

In "Drown," Timberlake sings about experiencing heartbreak and being left to drown in a relationship.

"Should've known your love was nothin' but the surface / I'm in the deep end, I can't fight the current / Tryin' to keep my head above it," he sings.

"Drown" is the second single to debut from Timberlake's forthcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was. The album also features the single "Selfish," released in January.

Timberlake will release Everything I Thought It Was on March 15.

The singer will promote the album with his Forget Tomorrow world tour, which kicks off April 29 in Vancouver, Canada.

Timberlake was forced to cancel his show Friday in London after coming down with the flu, but added new European dates to the Forget Tomorrow tour.

Pinterest is readying the launch of its first-ever streaming show, cooking and lifestyle series "Deliciously Entertaining" - aimed at whetting the appetite of users to engage with the image-sharing social platform.

"Deliciously Entertaining" is one of Pinterest's biggest original productions to date, developed and produced in partnership with media company Tastemade. The 10-episode series premieres Friday (Feb. 23), with new episodes to follow every other week, available for free on Tastemade's streaming channel and apps.

The show is hosted by cookbook author and internet personality Danni Rose. In each episode, Rose invites over a guest who brings over a unique ingredient - a "deeply personal food item" - to incorporate into the recipes. Drawing on inspiration found on Pinterest, together they put together a DIY menu and each episode ends with a gathering of friends that reflects the theme (watch the trailer below).

Guests on the show include Lance Bass (of *NSYNC fame); singer, actor and drag queen Trixie Mattel (pictured above, left); Pinterest influencer Joy Cho, who has the most-followed account on the platform with over 15 million fans; actor and content creator Asia Jackson; floral design maven Maurice Harris; and chef and media personality Kalisa Marie.

Lance Bass pokes fun at parenting mishaps online as he raises twins, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty, with husband Michael Turchin. The beloved boy bander discusses raising kids and exclusively reveals the "biggest lesson" he's learned since becoming a parent with Life & Style.

"Life is fleeting! Everything and everyone moves so quickly. When I come home from a business trip after just a couple days, it feels like they look and act so much older," the *NSYNC alum, 44, tells Life & Style. "I think the biggest lesson I've learned is to stay in the moment and not take any little thing for granted. Even the Sharpie mishaps."

On February 6, Lance turned to humor after his son decided to give their house DIY renovations.

"Me and Michael practicing gentle parenting after Alexander sharpie-d his whole room and sister," the text wrote over an Instagram video of the couple dancing and making silly poses. "From head to toe," Lance captioned the post. "PS: Thanks for the parent pro tips on getting it off."

Lance Bass loves the NFL just as much as he loves Taylor Swift and he even made a cheeky sign about the pop star during a Chargers-Broncos game in October 2023. Now, the *NSYNC alum exclusively tells Life & Style he did it to "poke fun" at her constant screen time while cheering on boyfriend Travis Kelce.

"I wanted to poke fun at the situation since some people are having such a hard time with her at the games, but I definitely wasn't expecting it to get the reaction that it did!" Lance, 44, explains to Life & Style. "I think it's great that the NFL is showing Taylor there supporting Travis. I think it brings a younger audience to the NFL and is creating some great bonding moments for families."

The cameras couldn't help but pan to Taylor's private suites after she first attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023. While Swifties and pop culture lovers had no problem seeing Taylor, 34, during Sunday and Monday night football, others had a field day about her cameos.

"There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once," Taylor admitted during her December 2023 Person of the Year interview with TIME Magazine. "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads."

Blame it all on her roots, Sarah Palin showed up in boots on another Fox singing show.

In The Masked Singer's third season, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee shocked the world as the Bear. She was famously eliminated after a rousing performance of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back." This time around, she appeared on Wednesday night's "Sister Act" episode of We Are Family.

The Fox guessing game show, which is hosted by actor and comedian Anthony Anderson and his mother, Doris Bowman, showcases non-famous relatives of celebrities performing solo and then duets with their secret famous family member. The studio audience of 100 contestants is tasked with sniffing out multiple rounds of clues for the chance to win up to $150,000 by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed.

Palin, of course, was the surprise celebrity family member. She was revealed after singing Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places" with her non-famous cousin, JD. Though Palin didn't say much - she was the final celebrity revealed on the show, after Joey Fatone and Kenny Smith - her cousin did tell Anderson her run for VP as John McCain's running mate "was mind-boggling for our entire family - it was a heck of a ride, but it was fun, and we were very proud of her."

We Are Family airs Wednesdays on Fox at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Winter is proving to be fun for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel.

The pop superstar, 43, shared a sweet video to Instagram on Tuesday of himself sledding with Biel, 41, and he gushed over his wife with a romantic quote from his latest single "Selfish" - released on Jan. 25 - in the post's caption.

The clip opens with a bundled-up Timberlake making a small frame with his hands and walking toward the camera, before the video transitions to selfie footage of the couple laughing as they share a sled down a hill.

Justin Timberlake recently kicked off his musical comeback with his new single "Selfish." The tune marks his first solo offering in years, and anticipation for the track was high. The cut has landed on a number of Billboard charts this week, and while it's performed fairly well on pretty much every list it appears on, the title is off to an especially strong beginning on various radio tallies.

"Selfish" can now be found on five of Billboard's radio charts. Timberlake's latest actually managed to reach two of them last frame after only a few hours of activity. That kind of performance is not commonly seen, though when it comes to the latest from a superstar, DJs and programmers across the U.S. can rush to play a just-dropped single non-stop, helping it become a relatively rare instant smash.

Timberlake's new single is performing best on Billboard's three pop radio charts. The tune rises highest on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, where it looks like it's about to break into the top 10. This frame - its second on the tally - "Selfish" is up to No. 13 after debuting at No. 30 last time around.

"Selfish" is brand new to the Adult Contemporary chart, but it sits in almost the same position as on the Adult Pop Airplay tally. On that list, Timberlake's single opens at No. 14. That's a very impressive starting point for the cut, and it shows that there's immense interest in whatever the singer delivers.

Timberlake collects another top 20 hit on the Pop Airplay as well this week. "Selfish" shoots from No. 33, where it got its start last frame, to No. 17. That kind of jump in a single frame suggests that another leap may be in store for the latest from the *NSYNC singer.

On Feb. 7, LGBTQ+ media-advocacy organization GLAAD, along with The National Football League (NFL), hosted the third annual "A Night of Pride" at Caesar's Palace in Super Bowl LVIII's host city of Las Vegas, a press release noted. The evening, hosted by former *NSYNC member Lance Bass, featured a performance by singer-songwriter VINCINT and a panel discussion moderated by LZ Granderson on how inclusion in sports advances acceptance for LGBTQ+ people. The panel featured now-retired NFL player Carl Nassib, the NFL's first openly gay player to play in a regular-season game, along with trailblazer and NFL replay assistant Desiree Abrams and Kevin Maxen, the first out male NFL coach.

Guests included NFL Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Jonathan Beane as well as LGBTQ+ leaders, voices and allies such as model Brooks Marks, actor Zeke Smith, NFL Correspondent Ryan Mitchell, filmmaker Sav Rogers, chairperson of CBS Sports Sean McManus, and GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, among others.

Also attending was GLAAD's 2024 cohort of the Equity in Media and Entertainment Initiative (EMEI), a three-year pathway program with varying media focuses designed to specifically pipeline and elevate Black LGBTQ+ creatives and Black queer storytelling across entertainment, in Hollywood and media at-large. This year's 2024 cohort focuses on Black LGBTQ+ independent music artists such as 2 AM Ricky, Albanus Thierry, Asiahn, Damez, SHAH, Suni MF, Victor Jackson and Neverending Nina.

Justin Timberlake notches his highest Billboard Hot 100 debut in six years as his new single "Selfish" debuts at No. 19 on the Feb. 10-dated chart.

Released Jan. 25, the song tallied 22.4 million in all-format radio airplay audience, 11.5 million official streams and 10,000 downloads sold in the U.S. in its first full week of activity (Jan. 26-Feb. 1), according to Luminate.

"Selfish" is taking off across multiple radio formats: It jumps 20-13 on Adult Pop Airplay and 33-17 on Pop Airplay and debuts at No. 14 on Adult Contemporary and No. 33 on Rhythmic Airplay. On the all-format Radio Songs chart, it starts at No. 33.

Justin Timberlake is extending his Forget Tomorrow World Tour with a slew of new shows in North America, beginning with a second show on May 7 in San Jose, California, at the Sap Center. Additional dates kick off in October with his appearance at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Oct. 7, culminating in Atlanta on Nov. 16 at State Farm Arena.

The trek, which the musician announced late last month, begins April 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, and includes two-date stops in cities including Seattle, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago (with a third one just added), New York (now three with the addition of the Brooklyn date), Boston, and more major cities. Many of the dates have already sold out.

Tickets for the new slate of shows will be available for presale via Citi, beginning on Feb. 8 at 10 a.m. local time, and Verizon, beginning today (Feb. 6) at 10 a.m. local time. The general sale begins on Friday, Feb. 9, at 10 a.m. local time. More information can be found on Timberlake's website.

The tour comes on the heels of Timberlake formally announcing his upcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was, which arrives March 15 via RCA. The 18-song set is his first LP since 2018's Man of the Woods and includes the single "Selfish."

Justin Timberlake isn't letting an illness stop him from singing his latest hit.

The Grammy winner, 43, performed an acoustic rendition of his new single "Selfish" - complete with an admittedly "raspy voice" - on Instagram Saturday, after coming down with the flu.

In a self-shot clip, the former *NSYNC member could be seen wearing a cream-colored cardigan as he strummed an acoustic guitar and sang the song's first verse and chorus.

"Still getting over the flu which makes it silly to sing so excuse the raspy voice but messing around with an acoustic version of SELFISH," Timberlake wrote in his caption.

On Wednesday night (Jan. 31), Justin Timberlake spent his 43rd birthday doing what he loves most: performing. After enjoying his festive homecoming in Memphis last week, the singer headed to New York City's Irving Plaza for his second One Night Only show.

Zealous fans worldwide, including London, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, came in droves to see the venerable pop star strut across the stage in his "Suit & Tie" while slinging hit after hit like a Verzuz battle. Despite the nippy temperatures, some fans camped outside as early as 5 A.M., waiting to get inside the venue. Many sported vintage *NSYNC shirts pledging their allegiance to Justin and the '90s boy band, while others held signs wishing the group's leader a happy birthday. One, in particular, hoisted a cardboard sign that read, "It's my birthday, too, and this was my only plan."

Thankfully, for that lucky fan, the birthday boy didn't disappoint, leaving fans entranced by his 17-song performance alongside his band, The Tennessee Kids.

A Night of Pride with GLAAD - hosted by Lance Bass and featuring a performance by VINCENT - is an evening of music, cocktails and conversations with GLAAD, a world's leading non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ media advocacy and cultural-change.

The National Football League's family of brands and partners will gather to spotlight advances in LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well as the NFL's commitment to LGBTQ players and fans.

Presented by Smirnoff, A Night of Pride with GLAAD will include a panel discussion on how inclusion in sports advances acceptance for LGBTQ people, featuring veteran pass rusher Carl Nassib, who became the NFL's first openly gay player to play in a regular-season game. The event, which kicks off festivities for the week in the Super Bowl LVIII host city of Las Vegas, will also feature a special live performance by singer-songwriter VINCINT. Additional partners for the evening include Starter and Google.

WHEN: Wednesday, February 7, 2024

*NSYNC fans shouldn't be saying "bye bye bye" to the prospect of new music, it seems.

During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Justin Timberlake dropped the heavy hint that last year's buzzed-about *NSYNC reunion was only the beginning.

"We've been in the studio, so there may be a little something in the future, too," he told host Kelly Clarkson.

Timberlake's tease came as he recalled working with former bandmates JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone for the first time in over two decades on the song "Better Place," which was released in September 2023 as part of the soundtrack of the film Trolls Band Together.

"That was fun," he said. "It's kind of crazy, like, there's so much that just picks up right where it left off as far as the chemistry."

Justin Timberlake is back and better than ever.

The former *NSYNC member, 42, appeared on Saturday Night Live over the weekend as the musical guest alongside host Dakota Johnson.

Timberlake debuted a new song, "Sanctified," off his forthcoming album and kept the performance simple, belting out the lyrics with a microphone and band before being joined by featured artist Tobe Nwigwe, who brought along a group of dancers for his verse.

The song might be a love letter to wife Jessica Biel as the lyrics point to the Trolls star feeling grateful for someone who has led him through a dark time.

"You take all of my wrongs, move right along, take me and fix my mess / Get me up when I'm low, hand on my soul, like you see right inside," Timberlake sings. "I come out a new man, no blood on my hands, sanctified."

The performance of "Sanctified" was lauded online by fans who are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, which releases on March 15.

Justin Timberlake may currently be in the line of fire from Britney Spears fans who are deliberately attempting to push his new comeback single, "Selfish," below Spears' 13-year-old composition of the same name on the charts. However, JT's *NSYNC bandmate, Lance Bass, thinks it's all just in the name of "fun."

Speaking exclusively to The Messenger at Saturday's Environmental Media Association Gala in Los Angeles, Bass first praised Timberlake's new music, calling it "so good" and the single in particular as "incredible."

He then commented on the little chart game, which resulted in fans of Spears - famously Timberlake's ex - pushing her song to the top of the iTunes chart Friday.

"They are having fun," he said, adding, "I can't knock them all ... I just know that Britney supports the hell out of them."

"It's a certain group of fans that just really go to bat for her," he further explained. "I wish I had fans like that. That would be incredible. You can do no wrong."

Stating that "I think everyone's gonna be fine," Bass noted that he doubts the fans' antics are even registering on Timberlake's agenda. "I don't think he's even paying attention to it right now, 'cause he's a little busy."

Jessica Biel is a big fan of husband Justin Timberlake's hot new single "Selfish."

On Saturday, Biel, 41, posted a TikTok of herself listening to the song nonstop as she went about her day.

"POV: Trying to get anything done the past 24 hours," she wrote over the video, which featured clips of her brushing her teeth, doing some casual yoga in the bathroom and lip-syncing to the camera as her husband's track played.

"ON REPEAT @Justin Timberlake," Biel captioned the video, which has so far been viewed more than 2 million times.

Paris Hilton is celebrating her baby boy's first birthday!

On Saturday, the reality TV star, 42, threw a lavish 'Sliving Under the Sea' themed birthday party for 1-year-old son Phoenix as stars, including Kelly Osbourne and Rumer Willis joined the celebrations at her home.

In videos posted from the party, Hilton's back yard was an underwater vision come-to-life as fish-shaped balloons and seaweed filled the patio. White seats shaped like coral with starfish cushions dotted around the space as music from Disney's The Little Mermaid played on speakers.

Explaining the party theme in one clip, Hilton said - as she held Phoenix, who turned one on Jan. 16 - "It's Phoenix's first birthday and we have a 'Sliving Under the Sea' theme. I'm so excited."

Among the guests seen at the party were Kelly Osbourne, who brought 13-month-old son Sidney along, Rumer Willis and nine-month-old daughter Louetta Isley, Lance Bass and 2-year-old twins Alexander and Violet, Kat Von D and son Leafar, 5, and model Jessica Hart.

Justin Timberlake fans are getting ready to rock their bodies for the singer's upcoming tour.

Timberlake announced his first tour in five years Thursday night on "The Tonight Show" hosted by Jimmy Fallon. It will be called the "Forget Tomorrow World Tour."

Premium members of Justin Timberlake's fan club, called Tennessee Kids or TN Kids, can enjoy his upcoming tour with exclusive fan deals. Members of the fan club pay a yearly fee to enjoy these perks.

Concert tickets will be made available to premium fan club members through Ticketmaster and they will have access to these tickets before the general public starting Monday Jan. 29. They will receive presale codes assigned to them and can locate them through their premium member account under the "Promo Codes" section.

According to the fan club website, the team has worked to gain access to exclusive seats for its members. However, not all members will be seated in the first few rows from the stage. The club says their goal is to make sure all premium members have "a good view."

Although the fan club does not offer exclusive meet and greet options, the club does offer VIP packages that give members, "a variety of enhanced experiences," according to the website.

In addition to pre-sale tickets, TN Kids premium members get access to new music, webcasts, contests, the newsletter, and other exclusive offerings.

Justin Timberlake is back, and this time he's in a selfish mood.

The pop star dropped his new single "Selfish" on Thursday morning (Jan. 25), marking JT's first solo release in more than five years. The video for the song opens with Timberlake bowing to a clapping audience and then slipping behind a curtain into a rehearsal studio as the mid-tempo song's warm keyboard and subtle beat bubble up.

"If they saw what I saw/ They would fall the way I fell/ They don't know what you want/ And, baby I would never tell," he sings in the song about endless devotion, pledging to never let his lover go. "'Cause Your lips were made for mine/ And my heart would go flatline/ If it wasn't beating for you all the time," Timberlake adds in the pre-chorus of the song he co-wrote with Louis Bell (Taylor Swift), Cirkut (Maroon 5), Theron Thomas and Amy Allen and which he co-produced with Bell and Cirkut.

Recording artist, producer, actor and dad Lance Bass, best known for his time in *NSYNC, is adding another hat to his pile: children's book author. The father of twins - who were born on Friday the 13th, no less - has always loved Halloween. Now, he's paying tribute to that fandom with his debut book, Trick or Treat on Scary Street, and PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.

"Trick or Treat on Scary Street is guaranteed to have readers howling with delight," explains a release from Union Square Kids about the book. It follows a group of trick-or-treaters as they head down Scary Street, led by a "charismatic and maybe unreliable guide."

Along the way, the kids come upon a host of fun and frightening sights: vampire lairs, witches' kitchens, haunted houses and more. As their journey continues, their friends start to disappear, leading the kids to wonder if it's all a trick, or if there ultimately is a treat on the horizon.

Justin Timberlake is on the comeback trail - and he's making a stop with a free concert at Irving Plaza in New York City on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

The former *NSYNC frontman announced the one-night-only show Wednesday on his website and social media platforms.

The concert - which just so happens to fall on Timberlake's 43rd birthday - comes shortly after he performed another free show at the Orpheum Theater in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

Tickets for the Irving Plaza date, which aren't guaranteed, are free but a credit card is required for validation. Requests - capped at two tickets per person - can be made through his website until 11:59 p.m. Friday.

The fine print includes a temporary $1 authorization to be held on credit cards and instantly refunded to ensure they're active. Fans will be notified by email on Jan. 30 if they're approved for the tickets, which will then be delivered to their Ticketmaster accounts the morning of the show.

Located in Union Square, Irving Plaza can accommodate up to 1,100 guests, according to owner Live Nation. The concert promoter purchased the ballroom-style music venue in 2007.

Get ready to journey back to the early 2000s! Hosted by Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, the Pop 2000 Tour is heading to the Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Event Center on Friday, June 28.

The lineup features platinum-selling artists O-Town, BBMak, Ryan Cabrera, and LFO. The North America tour launches on March 9 and will visit 19 states.

Tickets are available for Rivers Rush Rewards members and will open to the general public on Friday, January 26. Tickets start at $29 and can be purchased online.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Justin Timberlake is breaking a six-year hiatus from his solo career with the impending release of a new single ("Selfish") and album (Everything I Thought I Was), plus a return to musical guest duties next Saturday (Jan. 27) on NBC's Saturday Night Live.

Last night, Timberlake posted a 30-second teaser of "Selfish" on Instagram and TikTok, and sources say the track will be officially released next week ahead of the SNL performance. As of now, there's no release date for Everything I Thought I Was, which is the follow-up to 2018's Man of the Woods, but Timberlake also released a trailer for the project featuring narration by actor Benicio Del Toro.

Timberlake debuted "Selfish" in its entirety last night during hometown show at Memphis' Orpheum Theatre, one of only a handful of times he has been on stage since the COVID-19 pandemic. The set list featured familiar tunes such as "SexyBack," "Can't Stop the Feeling" and "My Love," plus a cover of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" and shout-outs to his mom and *NSYNC bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick, who were both in the room.

Timberlake's re-emergence began last year with his unexpected *NSYNC reunion song "Better Place," from the soundtrack to Trolls Band Together. The group had been inactive for two decades.

Justin Timberlake is heading back to late night! The "Mirrors" singer is set to join The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday (Jan. 25) as a guest alongside Molly Ringwald and musical guest Flo Milli.

Because Timberlake and Fallon are longtime friends, fans are speculating that Timberlake will use the late night appearance to announce a new album era. He's been teasing fans via social media over the past week, wiping his Instagram clean before posting a series of photos from what looks like a music video set.

"EITIW," he captioned the post, with fans theorizing that the single will be called "Everything I Thought It Was." Redditors even tracked down a trademark application filed by a mysterious LLC early last year for that phrase, as well as for "Everything I Thought It Was...A Sonic Film."

Should Timberlake release a new album, it would mark his sixth album and first since 2018's Man of the Woods. That project marked his fourth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it charted for a total of 19 weeks. Just days after the album's Feb. 2 release, he performed at the Super Bowl LII halftime show in Minneapolis. In September, Timberlake reunited with *NSYNC to release "Better Place" for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, marking the group's first musical release since 2002 (when the Neptunes remix of "Girlfriend," featuring Nelly, arrived).

With just hours to go before Justin Timberlake takes the stage at the Orpheum Theater in his hometown of Memphis tonight (Jan. 19), the singer posted a five-second sneak peek of what is expected to be the preview of his return to music. "SEE YOU TOMORROW" Timberlake wrote on X on Thursday night in advance of the free underplay show he announced last week.

Even better, the post came with a brief video of Timberlake walking onto the theater's stage, which was bathed in orange light illuminating a full band playing a slinky R&B groove as the "Mirrors" singer crooned what sounded like "it's all that I saw." It was unclear at press time if the groove was from a new song, but Justin's increased activity lately has ramped up speculation that the JT6 era is imminent.

In addition to the show, Timberlake will be back in the friendly confines of The Tonight Show next Thursday (Jan. 25), where he is booked to appear as a guest alongside Molly Ringwald and musical guest Flo Milli. Timberlake and host Jimmy Fallon are old friends, so fans have been hoping that the singer will use the opportunity to announce his as-yet-untitled new album; at press time Timberlake had not officially confirmed speculation that he's prepping the follow-up to 2018's Man of the Woods.

There have been a number of clues that something is up, including Timberlake wiping his social media feeds over the past week before posting a series of pictures that appear to be from a music video shoot, captioned "EITIW." The latter spurred suggestions that his new single will be called "Everything I Thought I Was," with eagle-fingered Redditors tracking down a trademark application filed by a mystery LLC early last year for that phrase, as well as for "Everything I Thought I Was... A Sonic Film."

At press time a spokesperson for Timberlake had not returned a request for comment on his upcoming plans.

In September, Timberlake reunited with his old bandmates in *NSYNC to release "Better Place" from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, marking the group's first musical release since 2002's Neptunes remix of "Girlfriend" featuring Nelly.

Check out Timberlake's post below.

Joey Fatone is bringin' da Backstreet Boys noise for his and AJ McLean's co-headlining North American tour.

The *NSYNC singer appeared on Audacy's 96.5 WTIC-FM The Christine & Salt Show on Wednesday and the 46-year-old singer was asked a very intriguing question -- is there a song from the Backstreet Boys he's always wanted to perform? And ditto for McLean with regard to *NSYNC songs.

"We've done the show a few times on certain things and I've gotten to know certain songs that he does like," Fatone shared. "Like, I think 'This I Promise You' he's always wanted to do. So, we've done it. He's like, 'Can we do it? Can we do it?' I'm like, 'OK, we'll do it.' And for me, it was always 'Quit Playing Games.' I always loved [it]. I never got a chance to really do that, so that might be a song."

Earlier this month, the duo announced their A Legendary Night tour, slated to kick off March 15 in Southern California's wine country in Temecula. The show then heads to Rancho Mirage, California, before jetting off to Wallingford, Connecticut; Boston; Newark, New Jersey; and Florida.

The tour's been a long time coming.

"I've done a few shows now with AJ, and we've always talked about doing something together," he explained. "We didn't know what that was yet, but we were like, 'Let's do something.'"

*NSYNC's reunion to record "Better Place" was a feel-good family affair!

In a new PEOPLE exclusive video, the directors of Trolls Band Together explain how and why they were able to reunite Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone in a studio together to record a new song for the first time in over 20 years.

"Justin has always been such a great partner in all the films, and this one we really got to involve him pretty early," Trolls Band Together co-director Walt Dohrn said in the clip. "There's a level of nostalgia now for the '90s boy band stuff, so we had the best consultant I think you could get on boy band history."

The most recent film in the Trolls franchise - Trolls Band Together is now available on digital and 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD - sees Poppy (Anna Kendrick) learning that Branch (Timberlake) was in a boy band called "BroZone" with Floyd (Troye Sivan) and some of his other brothers. When Floyd is kidnapped, Poppy and Branch rescue him, and reunite all of the brothers in the process.

Justin Timberlake is building anticipation for his return to solo music with the announcement of a one-night-only hometown show in Memphis set for Jan. 19 at the Orpheum Theater.

"Going home," Timberlake captioned a set of Instagram photos announcing the show. The main image is a billboard with details on the "one night only" concert, though Timberlake also selected an old video of him as a kid touting Memphis as his home base, plus a photo of his itinerary which included "travel to Memphis Jan. 19 - Orpheum."

The final video he shared is a seconds-long clip of an unreleased single. Not many details can be picked up from the teaser though Timbaland, Timberlake's collaborator across five albums and two decades, recently told Variety that Timberlake is coming back with a new album that returns to the "fun Justin."

"It's like 'FutureSex /LoveSounds' but nothing too heavy," Timbaland said. "Just giving you what you'd expect from us: not overthought, the lyrics are not so deep, it's bob-your-head, dance-to-it music. Music is a young sport, and you have to keep it fun - fun and young. We've both seen a lot of life, but you can't overthink it because of that, you have to bring out the 13-year-old, 18-year-old again, you know? If not, you can get into the old-fogey stage real quick."

Justin Timberlake has wiped his Instagram, presumably in advance of new music, while Joey Fatone just announced that he's going on tour with Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean. Seems like we're not getting the *NSYNC reunion tour fans had hoped for - but hey, at least we still have the group's reunion song, "Better Place," to listen to. And Joey told ABC Audio that even after not recording together for 23 years, the guys found it easy to get back into the groove.

"It's just like riding a bike," Joey said, noting that the "Better Place" recording session was just like the ones they've had in the past. "You know, we recorded with each other for many years, and we also recorded in the studio where JC and Justin were writing and producing some of the songs. So we were in the booth with them."

"So it wasn't like someone's gonna go, 'Oh, sing this note,' [and] I'm like, 'Nah, I got one better,' yknow?" Joey said. "It's more or less, 'I trust your judgment. Let's go with it.' That kind of thing."

As for whether or not he was surprised Justin called the band to be on the song for the Trolls: Band Together soundtrack, Joey said not really.

"It wasn't a surprise surprise," he said. "'Cause we've gotten calls a few times or we've called each other about other projects. And either we shot them down or we said, 'Yeah, let's do it.' So this was the one that felt right."

Joey Fatone and AJ McLean are crossing over. The *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys members announced on Tuesday (Jan. 9) that they are hitting the road together in March for an eight-date joint tour they've dubbed A Legendary Night.

In a post announcing the one-of-a-kind outing, Fatone wrote, "This is going to be fun!!!! @aj_mclean my dude ... here we go!!!!," with the BSB singer responding, "LEGENDARY [sign of the horns emoji].

The outing is slated to kick off on March 15 at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif., and hit the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, Calif., before moving on to the East Coast for gigs in Wallingford, Conn., Boston and Newark, N.J., before wrapping with a trio of shows in Florida in Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Jacksonville. Click here for details on the artist pre-sale and general on-sale, with the latter slated to kick off on Friday (Jan. 12) at 10 a.m. local time.

According to a release from promoter Live Nation, the tour will find the old friends teaming up to perform choreo, their beloved 1990s and early 2000s hits accompanied by a seven-piece band and "intimate conversations of never-before-told stories from their time on the road." The singers, both 46, booked the tour after performing together at a gig dubbed "Joey Fatone & Friends - Welcome to Tampa 90s Party" in September; they also previously shared the stage in 2021 during Fatone's "The AFTR PRTY" Las Vegas residency, which featured the *NSYNC member performing with McLean, Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men) and McLean's BSB bandmate, Nick Carter.

'The Pop 2000 Tour', featuring Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC, O-Town, BBMak, Ryan Cabrera & LFO, is coming to The DAM this summer.

According to a release, that show is happening Saturday, July 6, 2024.

Officials say special guest DJ Shay is direct support and will open the show for this tour date, part of the First United Bank & Trust 2024 Concert Series.

Gates are expected to open at 5:30 pm CDT, and the show will start at 7:00 pm.

Justin Timberlake has wiped his Instagram clean - and fans think it means new music is on the way.

On Monday, fans noticed that the "Cry Me a River" singer's posts had disappeared from his feed.

Meanwhile, his profile picture was cleared before being changed to a photo of himself looking into a rearview mirror.

If the social media cleanse does indicate a new album, it would mark Timberlake's sixth release - and first since 2018's Man of the Woods.

You can sing along with Poppy, Branch, Viva and Tiny Diamond and the BroZone gang on Jan. 16, when Universal Home Ent. releases DreamWorks' Trolls Band Together Sing-Along Edition on Digital, UK UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. This music fan's dream release offer over an hour of bonus content, including a brand-new original short "It Takes Three," character drawing tutorials, deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes features with the cast and crew including *NSYNC's reunion for the first time in 20 years.

Directed by Walt Dohrn and co-directed by Tim Heitz and produced by Gina Shay, this colorful, psychedelic adventure finds Poppy (Anna Kendrick) growing closer to her now boyfriend Branch (Justin Timberlake) and discovering his secret past as a member of her favorite boyband, BroZone, with his four estranged brothers. When Branch's bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop stars, Branch and Poppy embark on an action-packed journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd. Along the way Poppy uncovers a family secret of her own, a long-lost sister named Viva (Camila Cabello).

It's as close as we're going to get to an *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys reunion tour for now.

Page Six has exclusively learned that *NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean are going on tour together. An insider told us the duo will hit the road in March and they'll be singing the hits of both bands.

"They'll be singing all of their hits, and different genres of music - pop and rock," the source said.

This isn't the first time the friends of 20-plus years have performed together. They took the stage last fall in Tampa, Fla., as part of "Joey Fatone & Friends' Welcome to Tampa 90s' Party." We're told they got the idea to take the show on the road after performing their hits and fun covers at the sold-out event.

Lance Bass is enjoying one of the best times of the year with his toddler twins.

On Thursday, the singer, 44, shared a photo to his Instagram of his Christmas festivities, which included his 2-year-old twins Alexander and Violet and his husband Michael Turchin, 36.

The family posed together on the beach earlier in the day. Later, they enjoyed quiet time at home, in holiday pajamas as the twins play with new toys.

SCISSORHANDS: A Musical Tribute opened earlier this month (Dec. 1) and performs through January 14, 2024, at The Bourbon Room. The production has revealed that Lance Bass has joined Scissorhands as a producer, as the production eyes a run in NYC, London, or Toronto.

The smash hit jukebox-musical parody SCISSORHANDS: A Musical Tribute pays homage to Tim Burton's iconic 1990 film Edward Scissorhands starring Johnny Depp and features renditions of some of pop music's biggest songs including What Was I Made For? (Billie Eilish), Dream On (Aerosmith), Uninvited (Alanis Morissette), Like a Prayer (Madonna), I'm Every Woman (Chaka Khan), Shallow (Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper), I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor Swift), Shake It Out (Florence + The Machine) and Fast Car (Tracy Chapman).

SCISSORHANDS: A Musical Tribute features original Actors' Equity cast members Jordan Kai Burnett as the non-binary, titular Scissorhands, Emma Hunton as Peg, Dionne Gipson as The Inventor, Natalie Masini as Kim, Ryan O'Connor as Helen, and Carly Casey as Joyce. New to the Scissorhands company are Alex Ellis as Esmeralda, and Carson Higgins and John Krause, alternating as Jim at select performances. Amanda Kruger is the standby for Scissorhands/Peg.

*NSYNC is one dance move closer to a reunion, it seems.

The act's Lance Bass says the former boy band - which made a comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, amid rumors of a new project - are "talking about" launching a reunion, and he's hopeful to have some "good news."

Bass appeared on the online game show "Rent Free" with Bilt Rewards founder and CEO Ankur Jain, who asked the singer about the comeback possibility.

"Are we doing a reunion coming up?" Jain asked Bass, who responded, "Look, we are talking about it - and I hope to have some good news, at some point."

When Jain pushed, "Jan. 1 on rent day," Bass said, "Give us a little more time than that."

Lance Bass is the king of the Christmas tree - and he has more than one.

"I have 35 Christmas trees that I decorate every year," Bass, 44, exclusively tells Us Weekly's 25 Things You Don't Know About Me.

The *NSYNC singer - who hosts the iHeart Radio podcast "Frosted Tips With Lance Bass" - will celebrate the holidays with husband Michael Turchin and 2-year-old twins Violet and Alexander. Among their many trees will be one decorated entirely with collectible vinyl figures.

"If you ask my husband, Michael, he'd agree that I may have a mild obsession with Funko Pop! figurines," Bass tells Us. "I now have a Funko Pop! Christmas tree because I've collected so many."

It's going to be a jolly Christmas this year for Lance Bass, his husband Michael Turchin and their 2-year-old twins Alexander and Violet.

"We just canceled most of our holiday plans," Bass, 44, tells PEOPLE. "We always go to the East Coast for the holidays, but because of work we pretty much had to cancel everything. So we're staying in Los Angeles. Which is less stressful, and will be nice."

They do, however, have a treat planned for Alexander and Violet. "We're taking them to Disney Land on Christmas," he says. "It will be their first Disney experience. I always said not until after they're 3, but since we got stuck here, I was like, OK, we need to do something special!"

Lance Bass decks the halls with cured meats and cheeses. The *NSYNC musician has been hosting an annual Christmas Charcuterie Competition for many years, and to keep things fresh, he and his friends have added many innovative ingredients to their boards. Though he doesn't compete - he and his husband, Michael, judge instead - his contribution last holiday season included a shocking addition...from Taco Bell.

"I always have to have my salty and sweet. So I have my cheeses like Boursin, spreads, dips, jams, and crackers. But I wanted to get some bonus points...so I added some Taco Bell to the spread," Bass shares with us. "Just the classic crunchy tacos. It's nice to have that nice crisp exterior, a little soft inside, and you can use so many of the accouterments to add to your Taco Bell."

One of his favorite winners of Charcuterie Christmas past was the "Charcute-RiRi," an homage to Rihanna with what Bass described as RiRi wearing a big charcuterie dress. (Sadly, no photos were available to share, so you'll have to use your imagination.)

If you don't have the time to invest in making a popstar charcuterie board, Bass - who partnered with Boursin to share holiday entertaining tips and tricks - suggests doing something simple to elevate your spread, like adding flowers (edible or just for garnish) or upgrading the cheese to Boursin's new Black Truffle & Sea Salt flavor.

Pentatonix is getting into the holiday spirit during their live concerts, and to show fans just how much, the group brought out none other than Joey Fatone for one of their recent shows - part of the group's The Most Wonderful Tour of the Year trek - to sing *NSYNC's holiday hit, "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays."

The video starts with the a cappella group singing the title of the song on the into, until member Scott Hoyin takes a moment to tell the audience, "And we have special guest, *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, everyone!" Fatone then came onto the stage in a red leather jacket to sing the track's first verse: "We've been waiting/ All year for this night/ And the snow is glistening on the trees outside/ And all the stockings/ Are hung by the fireside/ Waiting for Santa to arrive."

Lance Bass is celebrating a special milestone with husband Michael Turchin.

The *NSYNC singer, 44, just marked nine years of marriage with Turchin, 36, with a sweet Instagram post.

Bass penned a heartfelt message for his husband of nearly a decade alongside photos of their 2014 nuptials - the first same-sex marriage ceremony to be aired on television.

"Nine years fly by when you're having fun!!" he began. "On this day, and every day, I am reminded why we are meant for each other. Happy anniversary to the love of my life!"

"Spending the future with you has never been more exciting!" he finished. "I love you."

As 2023 in Music City turns to 2024, there's no shortage of ways to ring in the New Year. But there's one clear, Nashville way to do it best - with song and dance.

In recent years, Nashville has become one of the target New Year's Eve destinations for those all across the South and Midwest who want to ring in the new year. Last year, approximately 210,000 people gathered on Nashville's Bicentennial Lawn for live music and the midnight drop of the famed red music note.

All throughout the city, music will usher Nashvillians and visitors into a new year with events that vary in genre and intimacy. From the free, big musical bash on the lawn of the Bicentennial Capitol Mall to a night of funky jazz at Rudy's Jazz Room or Latin music at Plaza Mariachi, there's something for every music-lover this New Year's Eve.

Here's our rundown of musical New Year's Eve events in and around Nashville this festive season.

On Dec. 31, the Pop 2000 Tour will be coming to Nashville's City Winery. The tour is hosted by Chris Kirkpatrick of boy band *NSYNC and featuring artists O-Town and LFO. The evening has a show at 7 p.m. CST and 10 p.m. CST.

Universal Pictures announced the Trolls Band Together digital release date on Monday, confirming fans will be able to watch the movie early while it still plays in theater.

Trolls Band Together will be available exclusively on digital platforms where you can buy or rent beginning tomorrow, December 19, 2023. The film won't be ready for a streaming platform or a physical release just yet, but fans who wanted to check out the latest Trolls adventure from their home can do so tomorrow.

Trolls Band Together originally released in theaters on November 17, 2023, and stars Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick. Trolls Band Together is directed by Walt Dohrn and Tim Heitz, with Gina Shay serving as the producer.

He's one proud papa - as he should be!

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Lance Bass reveals that his two-year-old twins - Alexander and Violet, whom he shares with his husband Michael Turchin - are already almost out of diapers.

"They're such good kids," he says. "They just turned two on Oct. 13th, so we're going through it. But they've been great. I could joke about having to change all those diapers, but they're already almost fully potty-trained."

"[Michael] and I just wanted to see if we could get it done early, and they took to it. So apparently I have brilliant babies," Bass, 44, adds.

There's no breaking that *NSYNC bond - but it might've been worthwhile for new music.

Months after the boyband got back together to release a song for the latest Trolls film, Lance Bass reflected on *NSYNC's years-long friendship after their split in 2004.

"[It] was always confusing to me," Bass, 44, said of instances where other boybands have a big falling out. "I'm like, 'Well, why did it take us this long to actually do another song?' Because all these other groups that actually hate each other been making music forever. How did they do that?"

He joked, "I'm like, 'Well, maybe we should have a had a knockdown, drag-out fight. We should have maybe gotten together a lot quicker.'"

*NSYNC released their first single in over 20 years, titled "Better Place," in September for Trolls Band Together. In November, the group - which includes Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick - walked the red carpet together at the premiere in Los Angeles.

Although the "Bye Bye Bye" band has reunited in the past - teaming up for their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2018 and in honor of Timberlake's video vanguard award at the 2013 MTV VMAs - this is the first time they ever dropped new music since the split.

Christmastime usually means family time, and it can be enjoyable even if you're divorced. Take Joey Fatone, for example. The *NSYNC star says his favorite Christmas treats are the ones his former wife makes, and she still shares with him every year.

"My ex-wife, she makes cream puffs. Cream puffs are the staple. And even though I'm not with my wife anymore, I still get p***** off if she doesn't bring them to my house. That is a rule," he tells ABC Audio.

"And there's also a pistachio nut cake that she makes actually that's really, really good. So those two things are definitely staples that remind me of Christmas and holidays," he adds.

And his involvement with ex Kelly Baldwin doesn't stop at baked goods. Joey says because his daughter Kloey is still young, he makes it a point to spend Christmas morning with her - at Kelly's house.

"Every morning, right around 7 o'clock in the morning, I've been going to my ex's house ... to open up gifts with them. I have not missed that yet," Joey says. "So we've been doing that for every year. I mean, obviously when she gets older, we'll probably bounce back and forth. But, you know, she's still a kid we still want her to have that family thing."

"I think that's what's actually kind of cool about my family," he adds. "We don't do everything together, but we do do things together."

Justin Timberlake stepped out for a special performance on Wednesday.

The pop singer, 42, headlined the invite-only opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the latest luxury hospitality addition to the Vegas Strip - and now the tallest occupiable building in all of Nevada. The Grammy winner performed a set of his hits to a crowd of A-list stars including Cher, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Lenny Kravitz.

Joey Fatone says that he's "just dad" to his kids.

Speaking with PEOPLE at the Bilt Rewards' 2023 Winter Holiday House Party in New York on Tuesday, the *NSYNC star, 46, said that his two daughters - Kloey Alexandra, who turns 14 next month, and Briahna, 22 - don't make a big deal out of his boyband fame.

"Dad's a dork," he laughs. "All my kids think I'm dorky, only when they need something."

Fatone continues, "So, there's a Jonas Brothers concert? Then I'm cool. Because I'm Dad. I'm just Dad to them, I'm nothing else. That is nothing more, nothing less - which is great. I think it's a good thing."

Sharing an update on his girls, the dad of two tells PEOPLE, "[Briahna] is 22, graduated college, working now, taking a year off, probably going to get back into medical coming up again. And then my little one's in seventh grade. They're great, awesome."

They may have won numerous awards and topped the charts, but Lance Bass and Joey Fatone aren't the biggest fans of all of *NSYNC's songs.

On Tuesday, the bandmates spoke to PEOPLE about the group's tracks that make them cringe during an interview at the Bilt Rewards' 2023 Winter Holiday House Party in New York.

Fatone, 46, reveals that their 1997 songs "Riddle," "Here We Go," and "I Need Love," have them wincing, with Bass, 44, adding to PEOPLE, "Those ones were a little err...The rest we love. It wasn't our style. We weren't a techno group."

"It was basically the dance music that was in Europe at the time, and obviously at that time crunch was in the States," continues Fatone. "We tried to do our song kind of stuff in our vibe, but they wanted to do a little bit more dance. So they were three songs that we did that were more European."

It's not time to say "Bye Bye Bye" to *NSYNC just yet.

At the Bilt Rewards' 2023 Winter Holiday House Party at Maxwell Social in New York City on Wednesday, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass opened up about the future of *NSYNC after the boy band recently reunited for the Trolls Band Together single "Better Place" earlier this year.

While the group doesn't currently have concrete plans to perform live as a complete five-piece unit, Fatone, 46, didn't rule out the possibility of a reunion tour in the future. "Good luck, people," he tells PEOPLE with a laugh. "You know what? Never say never. I think we have to honestly have a sit-down and have a conversation."

Lance Bass is getting into the Christmas spirit with his little ones.

Over the weekend, the singer, 44, shared a photo on Instagram of him decorating the Christmas tree with son Alexander, 2. Bass holds his son with one arm, lifting him as Alexander turns his head to deliver a brooding side-eye look.

Bass follows suit, posing with his head turned to the tree and giving the camera a small side-eye.

"Bombastic side eye runs in the family... oh! and #ThisShirtSavesLives! Join me to support the kids @stjude," he wrote in his caption.

It's safe to say Lance Bass' kids, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty, approve of his music!

In fact, they just can't get enough, as they love the Trolls franchise - which the singer is a part of - and the tunes.

"I think they understand Baba's in it, but they're obsessed with the first two Trolls movies. It's just Trolls and Frozen. I didn't even have to push it on them - they just naturally love Trolls. We've seen the first two movies over and over and over again, and then the third movie, Trolls Band Together, we took them to the theater and they watched about 45 minutes of it, which is the longest they've been able to pay attention to a movie, so that was a really good sign. They also met Poppy and Branch, and they loved it. Of course, they love the song 'Better Place.' They make me play that music video over and over and over again," the 44-year-old, who teamed up with Smirnoff to release a PSA (Public Smirnoff Announcement) calling on couples to reverse the holiday break up curse with Smirnoff's Red, White & Merry, exclusively tells OK!.

Ladies and gentlemen of Florida, start your casino sports betting.

Thursday was a day of gambling history for the Sunshine State. As of 5 p.m., the two Seminole Casinos - at the Hard Rock Hollywood and Coconut Creek - started accepting wagers on the NFL, college football, NBA and NHL, among other items.

The ceremonial "First Bet" was made at the Hard Rock Hollywood by Seminole Tribe of Florida Chairman Marcellus Osceola Jr., who bet $1,000 at 5:34 p.m. Thursday for the unbeaten Florida State Seminoles to win the Orange Bowl over Georgia.

Two members of *NSYNC were present at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek for the ceremony: Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, who have homes in Orlando.

"I'm a Pittsburgh and Nashville fan and I live mostly in Nashville," Kirkpatrick said. "I think it's great. Everyone wants to get in. Football right now is so big. So is basketball. I love when you bet on a game. You watch games you normally wouldn't watch."

There's been a lot of courtroom strife before this day could happen. Two years ago, Florida finally got online betting legalized until it was shut down quickly by the government. Two weeks ago, the Hard Rock app restarted taking sports bets. Now you don't need a cellphone or computer - just wheels to get to the casino.

"In Florida, you really couldn't bet sports in a casino," Fatone said. "You had to go to another state."

Tony Award nominees Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells are back onstage at the James Earl Jones Theatre for their eagerly anticipated return to Broadway in Gutenberg! The Musical! written by Tony and Emmy Award nominees Scott Brown and Anthony King, directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers.

Watch former *NSYNC heartthrob Lance Bass join Gad and Rannells as a special guest below!

Gutenberg! The Musical! will play through Sunday, January 28, 2024 only.

Broadway runs on three things: big dreams, minuscule odds, and lots and lots of unearned confidence. Oh, and star power! Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, the most acclaimed musical comedy duo of their generation, finally reunite in Gutenberg! The Musical!, a full-throated celebration of the ancient, universal, and incredibly foolish urge to put on a show.

Trolls Band Together continues to progress at the global box office, earning $160 million after several weeks of playing in theaters. The sequel, which features the return of Justin Timberlake as Branch and Anna Kendrick as Poppy, has earned $74 million at the domestic box office, with the remaining $85 million coming from international territories. The third musical adventure of the colorful characters deals with a mysterious backstory, as they continue to explore how friendship and family are more important than anything else.

Joey Fatone is always ready with the parenting tips when his former bandmates need him!

The "Bye Bye Bye" singer, 46, exclusively tells OK! he "gives the best advice" in the *NSYNC groupchat he shares with Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick.

"I was the first father. What are you talking about?" he jokes. "I'm giving them advice."

"They didn't have kids until later on. Mine right now, mine's 22 and the other one's 13," he adds, referring to daughters Briahna and Kloey. "I got them all beat on age there. So yeah, I'll give them the advice of what happens."

Fatone also claims the crown for sending the "best memes" of all of the members - except maybe for one of them!

"Well, Lance is pretty good too," the former boy-bander - who recently underwent an AirSculpt body contouring procedure to kick off his new health journey - points out. "Lance is a good social media guru, I would say. So, he's good at it."

"We all have our own quirks and our own funny, stupid things that we always say," he adds. "But again, it's more or less of just 'how's everybody doing' kind of thing on the text," he explained of what they talk about the most.

Joey Fatone is excited about his new bod!

The *NSYNC singer exclusively tells OK! that he recently underwent a body contouring procedure to kick off his health journey and to help encourage him to keep up his exercise routine and healthy diet.

"I hate working out so there's a nice good jump start to really start my journey into getting back into like being healthy and working out and stuff like that again," he shares. "And I think it definitely does, because you've seen the results now. And I don't wanna screw that up."

"It's mental. It's in our brains," he continues. "When people start to say, 'Oh, my gosh, you're looking good,' like, okay, it makes you want to, you know, go more."

Pop star papa Lance Bass played his three least favorite *NSYNC songs to see how his kids would react - and it's comedy gold.

In a recent TikTok video, Bass, 44, and his husband, Michael Turchin, 36, are standing behind their 2-year-old twins, Violet and Alexander, who are in pajamas and eating breakfast.

"Here we go," Bass says, before turning up the music.

The first ditty is "Riddle" and Bass remembers all the lyrics - though his fans do not. As one wrote in the comments, "take my *NSYNC card away because I've never heard of Riddle until now."

Alexander and Violet stare straight ahead with blank expressions as their dads dance around. Bass' bandmate Joey Fatone also loathes the tune from their 1997 self-titled debut album, and once described it as "terrible."

Many people prefer the side dishes to the turkey on Thanksgiving, but for *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, the one dish that makes the holiday is the bird.

"Oh, gosh. I mean, turkey. I mean, come on!" Joey told ABC Audio when asked what he absolutely has to have on his Thanksgiving table. "I'm not huge on the cranberries or the stuffing - just in general, turkey. But, you know, it's so funny. For some reason, being an Italian, I was taught, there's always pasta in there as well."

Ironically, Joey publicly went through an AirSculpt fat-removal procedure on his stomach and chin - just in time for the holiday that's all about eating huge quantities of food. But he says he's not going to deny himself Thanksgiving treats - or anything else for that matter.

"Let's be real here. I'm not the type of person that's gonna be like, 'Well, listen, I've stopped eating carbs for the rest of my life...,'" he says. "For me, I never cancel or kill things out of my diet. I just will lean back on stuff and pull back on things."

So, when faced with a table full of pasta on Thanksgiving Day, Joey says his watchword is "moderation."

"I can eat it. Just don't eat 18 bowls of [pasta] - which I would love to do!" he says.

Even just a few months ago, fans would've assumed they were being trolled if news broke that *NSYNC was back together again on a red carpet. But in November of 2023, it's true: The boy band reunited at the premiere of new animated film Trolls Band Together, to which the five guys contributed their first song in two decades, "Better Place."

Justin Timberlake, a Trolls franchise veteran whose soundtrack hit "Can't Stop the Feeling!" topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016, was joined by his bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Wednesday night (Nov. 15). Looking sharp in an assortment of blazer jackets, they squeezed in for full-band pictures on the event's purple carpet, where Trolls stars Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Eric André, Ron Funches, Camila Cabello and Zooey Deschanel also struck poses.

From the main entrance at UCF Rosen campus, students were greeted with the sights and sounds of live bands, professional wrestlers, food trucks and connections into the entertainment industry all provided by the inaugural event Road to F.A.M.E.

On Thursday, Rosen's Road to F.A.M.E (Film, Arts, Music, Entertainment) festival was hosted by students of Professor Christopher Goyzueta's production management class.

Elena Guillen, festival director and senior entertainment management, said in just two months, students worked hard to bring together over 40 speakers within the entertainment industry to share their stories of success and give advice on working in the industry as well as networking opportunities and live entertainment.

Mai Sugiyama, festival marketing director and junior entertainment management major, said Goyzueta's students take the lead on putting together events, with Goyzueta there to oversee and aid when necessary.

"Their stories and dedication to this event have inspired me, and I've booked and produced over 2,500 shows," Goyzueta said.

One keynote speaker was Joey Fatone of the band *NSYNC as well as his manager UCF alumni Joe Mulvihill. Fatone and Mulvihill led a talk on "The Importance of Taking Risks and Trying New Things to Boost your Career" along with other topics such as "The Life of Women in Sports" and "The Future Outlook of the Live Event/Entertainment Industries."

The high season for investor conferences in New York City is here again - dry danishes, lukewarm Starbucks and PowerPoints. Zzzzzzzz.

Then there's money manager Baron Capital, with about $40 billion in assets, whose annual all-day pow-wow featured twerking superstar Justin Timberlake, glitzy Broadway show tunes, and Adam Sandler's penis jokes (which involved Botox).

All this unfolded as more than 5,000 Baron investors and hangers-on jammed into New York City's plush Metropolitan Opera House.

Lincoln Center Plaza was roped off for the affair, with brightly colored two-story Baron banners festooned over the Met's glass and white travertine facade.

True, Baron shindigs tend to be short on macroeconomic forecasts and derivatives strategies. Yet, they more than make up for it with the likes of surprise musical guest Timberlake, who gyrated his way through an explosive set of bass-thumping originals, plus covers of Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson, with the brass horns and dancers of the Tennessee Kids, all in front of a rollicking crowd of very privileged investors.

Cardi B, Offset, Lance Bass and ENHYPEN are all tagging along for Baby Shark's "major ocean picture" debut.

As seen in the new trailer for Baby Shark's Big Movie, which arrived Tuesday (Nov. 14) the three stars and K-pop boy band - plus Cardi and Offset's kids, Kulture and Wave - will all play their aquatic alter-egos in the animated children's film arriving Dec. 8 on on Nickelodeon and Paramount+. The project marks the very first feature-length endeavor for Baby Shark, the hit preschool TV program best known for its viral earworm of the same name, which charted in the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 in 2019.

The film will follow Baby Shark, voiced by Kimiko Glenn, as he works to save his best friend William, played by Luke Youngblood, from Ashley Tisdale's Stariana, a jealous pop superstar who plots to steal Baby Shark's special song for herself. Along the way, he encounters a boy band of belugas voiced by the seven members of ENHYPEN - Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki - as well as a TV announcer named Lance Bass, played by... you guessed it, Lance Bass.

If you've been tearin' up your heart waiting for an *NSYNC reunion tour, you might need to wait just a little longer.

On the heels of the band getting back in the studio to put out their first song in over 20 years, Lance Bass is addressing whether or not the reunion will also see them hitting the road together.

"Look, the door is always open," the former boy band member exclusively told E! News of the possibility for a tour and album. "And I think especially now. I'm game and you know we will be talking at some point. So hopefully, fingers crossed something will work out."

The 44-year-old also shared on what it was like to be back in the studio with his fellow alums - Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone - after more than two decades apart.

"I mean have a little worry going into a project like that," Lance shared. "We haven't made new music in 23 years, so I was a little scared of, 'Do I still have it in the studio?' But we went in and I swear, it was like yesterday we were together."

Joey Fatone reunited with former *NSYNC bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick at the 2023 VMAs before the release of their first song in 20 years, "Better Place." Now, the musician exclusively tells Life & Style to "never say never" about a future reunion or more music from the boyband.

"We just haven't had a conversation about any of it yet. And I think once that happens, we will probably let people know. I think people definitely want to know. And I think it's about time that we let them know - even to say whether it's a 'yes' or a 'no,'" Joey, 46, tells Life & Style. "It's actually been fun and nice to see what's been going on with 'Better Place.' So, it's been fun - it's nice. Then if anything ever does happen, then I'll be in shape to do it. How about that? That'd be a good idea."

Joey has experienced a few life changes in addition to the release of "Better Place" for the animated film Trolls Band Together, like undergoing cosmetic procedures. The My Big Fat Greek Wedding actor underwent a non-invasive AirSculpt body contouring procedure in October to shrink his chin, stomach and back.

"I mean, let's be real here. Everybody wants to have little things nipped and tucked here or something, fixed there - just maybe not quite exactly happy," Joey explains about his experience to Life & Style. "I've always been happy with myself. I just wanted certain things to maybe look a certain way though as well."

Joey Fatone wants to look and feel his best at 46 - and he's not ashamed to admit it.

"It's crazy how many guys get work done," he tells PEOPLE exclusively. "They don't broadcast it because a lot of men are very shy or embarrassed about it, but there's nothing to be embarrassed about! I'm never afraid to tell people about this stuff. Who cares?"

The singer and actor, who recently got fat removed from his chin and stomach via a procedure called AirSculpting, says he's also gotten hair plugs - and he has no regrets.

"Two years ago things were a little thinner up there, and I'm on television. I had to start wearing this spray to fill in my hair, and I just hated it," he says. "Every time I was on TV I was spraying my hair and it was just a pain in the butt. So I was like, I want to get plugs to fill it in."

The star says he's not trying to drastically alter his appearance or endlessly chase the fountain of youth. "I'm not trying to change my look," he says. "I'm not trying to change who I am. I'm just trying to just edit it a little bit!"

Fatone, who recently starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, says he was excited to work with AirSculpting to remove some stubborn fat from his chin and belly, and is proud of his before and after photos.

When *NSYNC made their return with the single "Better Place," many fans asked about whether or not a tour was in the works. Joey Fatone revealed that he also has hopes for some future live performances with *NSYNC so that he can share the experience with his two daughters in an exclusive interview with Hollywood Life. Joey was chatting with HL about his partnership with body contouring treatment AirSculpt, when he spoke about the possibility of the boy band performing live.

With *NSYNC dropping their first single in 20 years in September, it naturally led to lots of questions about whether there would be a reunion tour or a new album. Joey said that undergoing the AirSculpt treatment only welcomed more curiosity. "Especially even now that I even did the AirSculpt, people are like 'Oh, what are you doing? Are you getting tour ready?' I'm like, 'Hehe, no!' I'm actually just trying to do it for me," he says.

"I think that for people that are interested and they're asking, I don't think it's a problem and I don't mind answering, because of the fact that hopefully soon, I will get an answer," Joey tells HL. "Whether it be yes, whether it be no, I hate saying, 'I don't know yet,' but it is true."

Justin Timberlake stepped out for a good cause this week in New York City.

On Thursday evening, the singer, 42, attended a cocktail hour and dinner party supporting Pharrell Williams' new Joopiter clothing auction with Kenzo artistic director Nigo, according to WWD.

The star wore a beige sweater and matching pea coat paired with black pants and shoes, along with red-tinted black sunglasses as he posed in photos captured at the event.

According to a press release, the sale, titled From Me to You, is a curation of sought-after, iconic, and unseen items from the personal archive of Nigo. The auction will be open for global bidding on Joopiter.com from Nov. 9 to 16. Joopiter is a global digital-first auction house and content platform founded by Williams.

Sheboygan will get to relive the glorious 2000s through a musical journey this June.

On Friday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m., the Pop 2000 Tour will be at the Weill Center in downtown Sheboygan, with *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick, as well as O-Town, Ryan Cabrera, and LFO performing their original hits and other popular songs of the 2000s.

Chris Kirkpatrick is a founding member of *NSYNC, one of the defining boy bands of the 2000s. He has also appeared on shows like "Celebrity Big Brother", and "The Masked Singer", and was the voice actor for Chip Skylark in "The Fairly Oddparents".

Tickets go on sale Nov. 9 at noon and can be purchased on the Weill Center website, by phone at (920) 208-3243, or in person at the ticket office.

Lance Bass is speaking out on the strong bond he shares with his *NSYNC bandmates through thick and thin.

The singer, 44, tells PEOPLE that he's remained close over the years with JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone - and although they talk frequently, reconnecting in the studio to record a new song was special.

"Everybody's spread all over the place, so it was just nice to be in the studio like old times, all together, being goofy teenagers again, just cracking the stupidest jokes," he says. "It's also interesting because conversations are different. We are adults now, and most of us have kids, and we're married. So talking about kids is a little different from when we were 19."

Bass, who recently partnered with Boursin Cheese for Maison Boursin's Connection Collection, and *NSYNC released the song "Better Place" in September for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, marking the group's first song together in more than 20 years. They also appeared together that same month at the MTV Video Music Awards to present Taylor Swift with her win for best pop video.

When pressed on how Timberlake is doing after the release of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears' memoir The Woman in Me (in which the singer reveals she became pregnant with Timberlake's baby and had an abortion, and accused him of cheating on her), Bass simply says that he talks to his group mates "all the time."

"Yes, we're all good," he says. "People will survive."

It's been tearin' up fans' hearts wondering what's next for *NSYNC after the iconic boy band reunited onstage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards before releasing their first single in over two decades, titled "Better Place," as part of the soundtrack for the upcoming animated film Trolls Band Together. With no planned live performances of the single or any news of future reunions, could it really be bye, bye, bye already?!

"I wish I had some answers for you but as everyone knows, the strike continues and it really threw a wrench in all of this," Lance Bass tells EW while promoting his new partnership with Boursin Cheese as this year's Maison Boursin Host In Residence. "We finally released a song after 23 years and we can't even mention the song and we can't talk about the movie it's in. It was going to be such a special moment for all of us, and unfortunately that got sidetracked."

But Bass adds that as a proud member of both the Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild, he supports both the resolved writers strike and ongoing actors strike. "We have to get it right this time, and unfortunately, *NSYNC had to go down in flames for that one," he says. "But we had so much fun, I don't see this as our last thing. Because of this strike, I feel like we owe it to the fans agai

In September, all former *NSYNC members, Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake, shocked fans by appearing onstage together for the first time in a decade. However, they didn't perform any of their old hits or new music - they only reunited to present the Best Pop award, which went to Taylor Swift, who said what we were all thinking: "Are you doing something? What's gonna happen now? They're gonna do something and I need to know what it is."

Lance Bass' kids are already *NSYNC fans!

Speaking with PEOPLE about his partnership with Boursin Cheese to introduce a collection of holiday essentials, The Maison Boursin Connection Collection, the father of two, 44, also opened up about how special it's been to share the group's new music with his twins - Violet and Alexander, 2, whom he shares with husband Michael Turchin.

"It is very special. It was unexpected to be doing a song this year. It's been incredible. Unfortunately, we're not able to promote it or perform it, which is a bummer," he says. "But it's so great to be able to have something out there that my kids can enjoy."

Before recording the pop track "Better Place," for Trolls Band Together, Bass says, "I never thought that they would ever be able to see Dad on stage or hear a new song on the radio."

"So, when we're in the car and the song comes on and 'Better Place' is playing, they freak out and they're like, 'Ah!' And they know that that's Baba on the radio," he shares proudly. "It's special for me, for them to be able to hear that and see what Dad does. And, who knows? Hopefully, in the future, we'll get to give them a little more."

Singing about the holidays isn't Lance Bass' only festive season speciality - he's also a consummate party host!

As the holiday season approaches, the *NSYNC member, 44, tells PEOPLE that he's looking forward to hosting friends and loved ones as he and his family celebrate.

"I host a lot of gatherings," Bass says while discussing his partnership with Maison Boursin Connection Collection. "Especially now that I have kids, it's hard to get out of the house too often. So, people come to my house, which I love."

He shares that he and husband Michael Turchin - along with their 2-year-old twins, Alexander James and Violet Betty - have an "open door" policy at their home, and are constantly hosting gatherings.

"I love having people over," Bass says, adding that his favorite event to host is "game nights, of course."

Justin Timberlake stepped out last week to play one of his favorite sports.

On Thursday night, the pop singer, 42, was among the celebrity guests attending PGA Tour's World Wide Technology Championship at the Diamante resort's El Cardonal Golf Course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

According to a press release, the Grammy winner and longtime golf fan took part in a special celebrity four-hole scramble at the El Cardonal, which was designed by his friend and golf champion Tiger Woods.

The "SexyBack" singer was dressed appropriately for the sporting event in a black polo, blue shorts and a blue baseball cap.

He was photographed on the putting green smiling and took his turn at swinging his golf club.

The *NSYNC member was also captured sharing a fist bump and laugh with PGA Tour player Keith Mitchell and posing for several group shots with other attendees.

Among the guests were former NFL star Reggie Bush, retired professional golfer Jack Nicklaus, actor Michael Peña and retired NBA star JR Smith. They joined PGA Tour players Austin Eckroat, Ben Griffin, Harry Higgs and Mitchell at the event, now in its 17th year.

With the first two Trolls movies - 2016's Trolls and 2020's Trolls World Tour - actually taking over the world, we weren't exactly surprised to hear that DreamsWorks was planning a third Trolls film (although we were still plenty stoked). But then we found out that OG Trolls star and producer Justin Timberlake was literally bringing the band back together for Trolls Band Together, and we screamed with surprise and delight, the kind of high-pitched glee reserved only for boybands of a certain magnitude.

Gloriously - particularly for fans of the genre, and even more particularly for late-'90s/early 2000s boyband-era purists - the third film in the franchise inspired by the Thomas Dam-created dolls features a brand new original song, "Better Place," from Timberlake's hit-making old boyband, *NSYNC! (Would they be considered a manband now?)

For those of you counting at home, *NSYNC hasn't released a new song together in 22 years. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. But how did it all come to be? To find out more about the super reunion, why boybands and Trolls go together like PB&J, and much more about the upcoming film, NBC Insider spoke with producer Gina Shay, co-directors Walt Dohrn and Tim Heitz, as well as some of the DreamWorks design heads behind Trolls Band Together (in theaters November 17).

More than 20 years after its release, "Bye Bye Bye" remains one of *NSYNC's most successful songs - but not everyone in the group was sure it would be a hit.

Joey Fatone exclusively tells Us Weekly that he thought the 2000 single was a "cool song" but "didn't know it was going to be as big as it was."

"Of course when you're hearing it in the studio, you're hearing everything raw or you're not hearing it completely mixed," Fatone, 46, says in the latest episode of "Anatomy of a Song," taking a walk down memory lane with fellow band member Lance Bass and Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean. "Then when you hear it on the radio ... it just sounds better."

Fatone and Bass, 44, reunited with bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick at the 2023 VMAs in September before dropping "Better Place" - their first song in over two decades. While reflecting on the group's path to success, Bass tells Us he had high hopes for "Bye Bye Bye" from the very beginning.

"The first time I heard that demo, I knew it was something," he admits, taking the opposite stance of Fatone. "It was the first time in the studio that as I was live singing a song, I knew that this was going to be a single."

The members of *NSYNC are getting the band back together - and now we've got our first look at their troll transformations.

Universal Pictures unveiled a photo Friday showing off the reunited boy band's characters in the upcoming animated movie Trolls Band Together: Joey Fatone's Ablaze, J.C. Chasez's Hype, Justin Timberlake's Branch, Chris Kirkpatrick's Trickee, and Lance Bass' Boom.

The reveal also came with a behind-the-scenes video of the *NSYNC gents returning to the recording booth and getting into character for the third installment in the Trolls film franchise. "Are you all up in your feelings right now?" Timberlake asks Bass' mom at one point. (It's okay, Diane, we are too.)

Trolls Band Together hits theaters on Nov. 17.

Lance Bass is living out his dream!

On Wednesday, the *NSYNC alum, 44, shared a photo of his family's Halloween festivities as they left to go trick-or-treating. Posing for a photo, the family of four showed off their costumes. Bass went as Kristoff from Frozen, matching his husband Michael Turchin, 36, who went as Sven.

The couple's daughter, Violet, looked adorable in a Snow White costume complete with a bow in her hair, while their son, Alexander, went as Spengler from Ghostbusters.

"I've dreamt of this moment for 4 decades!!! Happy Halloween from Kristoff, Sven, Snow White and Spengler!! (Everyone should have to dance for their candy btw)," Bass wrote on Instagram.

Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Timberlake are among the nominees for the 2023 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

Billie and FINNEAS received a nod in the Song - Feature Film category for their song "What Was I Made For?" off the Barbie soundtrack. The Barbie song "I'm Just Ken," written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, is also up in that category.

Olivia scored a nomination in the Song - Sci-Fi/Fantasy category for co-writing "Can't Catch Me Now," her just-announced song from The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes. And Justin was nominated in the Song - Animated Film category for co-writing the *NSYNC's reunion song, "Better Place," for the Trolls Band Together movie.

Lance Bass has claimed that his dogs were sent to jail in Beverly Hills by Victoria and David Beckham in a hilarious revelation.

The 44-year old *NSYNC band member recalled the moment during an episode on his podcast Frosted Tips, whilst speaking to former Spice Girls member Geri Horner.

During the chat with Victoria's bandmate, Lance explained that he was once neighbours to the Beckham couple in Beverly Hills.

He then opened up about getting a phone call from Beverly Hills jail, explaining to him that his dogs Dingo and Foster had been found by the Beckhams after escaping from Lance's garden.

Lance recalled: "I was at a club and got a call like, "Hi, we have your dogs at Beverly Hills jail"

"So I had to leave the club. They're behind bars, these dogs are behind bars! I was like, 'Who found them?'

"They said, 'It was Victoria Beckham and David Beckham next door'. I was like 'oh OK, I didn't know they were my neighbours'."

David's representatives were contacted and declined to comment.

After 6 years, My Big Fat Greek Wedding franchise returned this past September with its third installment.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" featured many familiar faces from the franchise for a big fat family reunion that saw the Portokalos family travel to Greece to fulfill their late father's dying wish.

With its theatrical runover, the movie from Focus Features has found a streaming home at Peacock and is expected to arrive at the streamer on November 3.

The third entry was written and directed by the franchise's creator Nia Vardalos and stars the Oscar-nominated screenwriter opposite John Corbett, Louis Mandylor, Elena Kampouris, Maria Vacratsis, Andrea Martin, Elias Kacavas, Gia Carides, Joey Fatone, and Melina Kotselou.

Lance Bass hopes fans will forgive Justin Timberlake.

The former *NSYNC band member, 44, recently spoke up about his thoughts on the recent backlash his former bandmate has been getting after Britney Spears made several revelations about their previous relationship in her memoir The Woman in Me.

"Look, I mean everyone has their own opinion," Bass said, according to a video released on TMZ. "I just feel like the world is so full of hate right now that we need to practice a little forgiveness."

"Britney did. So, let's take a note from her," he added.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important reminder of the importance of research and treatment for the disease.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 18 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer every year. Nearly 5,370 people are diagnosed with cancer in the United States every day, which is why Gateway for Cancer Research has invested more than $105 million to advance more than 227 cancer clinical trials that have offered hope and healing to more than 10,000 men, women and children around the world.

Doctor Stacie Stephenson, Vice Chair of Gateway for Cancer Research, joined ABC 7 Chicago, to share some vital information about the importance of cancer research, and how it can "end cancer as we know it."

Despite not being released theatrically in the US yet, Trolls Band Together has grossed $13.2 million for new markets at the international box office. This past weekend, the animated sequel was released in the UK, Brazil, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, among other countries. The film opened in Denmark on October 12. Trolls Band Together will hit US theaters on November 17, and time will tell if the film will perform as successfully domestically as it did overseas.

In its new markets overseas, Trolls Band Together pulled in $3.2 million in previews alone. This weekend, the film played in over 4,300 locations, being shown on over 6,000 screens. Overall, Trolls: Band Together grossed $14.3 million this weekend across all of its international markets. This cume includes five holdover markets. There has been an approximate four percent drop in holdovers raised by Denmark's school holidays. The film's international gross is just below the first Trolls and slightly above Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

In the third Trolls animated movie, Justin Timberlake's character Branch reunites with his estranged brothers and BroZone bandmates and they later perform the '90s-inspired track Better Place. In a case of life imitating art, Timberlake reunited with his *NSYNC bandmates JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick to record the song, marking their first new music after more than 20 years. During an interview with Cover Media, director Walt Dohrn explained that *NSYNC's involvement in the movie happened organically after they came up with the film's concept.

Lance Bass made sure that no one at the Cowboys-Chargers game on Monday (Oct. 16) got their expectations too high. After SoFi Stadium alerted the crowd that a star was in the midst and showed the *NSYNC band member on its jumbotrons, Bass held up a sign clarifying that he wasn't one of the NFL's most famous recent guests: Taylor Swift.

"Not Taylor Swift," read Bass' handwritten sign, which he held up to the cameras as he waved to the thousands of fans in attendance.

The singer shared a video of the moment on Instagram, showing how SoFi played his band's iconic song "Bye Bye Bye" over the speakers. "In case anyone was confused," he captioned the post. "#LookWhatYouMadeMeDo #GoChargers ! #NotTaylorSwift #MNF"

Bass' sign poked fun at the pop culture craze surrounding Swift's romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, with whom she was photographed twice holding hands over the weekend in New York City. The "Anti-Hero" singer has shown up to three of Kelce's games so far, and is often shown by NFL cameras sharing a box suite with the athlete's mom, Donna Kelce.

AirSculpt Technologies, Inc., ("AirSculpt") (NASDAQ: AIRS), an industry leader and provider of premium body contouring procedures, is partnering with singer, dancer, actor, and TV personality Joey Fatone to share his AirSculpt experience.

"With so many exciting things occurring in Joey's life right now, from *NSYNC's release of "Better Place," their first single in over 20 years, to his film and TV projects, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to help Joey feel even more confident and comfortable in his body with his AirSculpt procedure," said Stephanie Evans Greene, Chief Marketing Officer of AirSculpt. "Male cosmetic procedures are a rapidly growing segment of the market. We're looking forward to working with Joey to showcase for men (and women) that, with AirSculpt, there is a minimally invasive, maximally effective solution to permanently eliminate stubborn body fat."

"AirSculpt is a next-generation body contouring treatment designed to optimize both comfort and precision. The minimally invasive procedure permanently removes fat and tightens skin in a single session, while sculpting targeted areas of the body, allowing for quick healing with minimal bruising, tighter skin, and precise results. Joey had AirSculpt on his full abdomen to remove the stubborn fat hiding his abs, waist, and obliques and to help him achieve a more chiseled jawline. With AirSculpt, there's no needles, no scalpels and no stitches - so Joey was able to get back to his normal, daily routine in less than 48 hours."

"With traveling and being on the road a majority of the time, it's been hard to maintain a consistent workout schedule...and let me be honest I DO NOT LIKE working out!" said Fatone. "I spoke to a friend who was raving about AirSculpt and her results, so I decided I wanted to give it a try. The procedure was so easy, I was awake the whole time talking and joking around with the surgeon. More importantly, I was back to work within 48 hours. I can't believe I'm already seeing the changes to my body and now I feel like I WANT to work out. It was a great jumpstart for me, mentally." Fatone continued, "Most men don't talk about these kinds of things, I think it's important to be open and honest about such a positive experience like AirSculpt. I'm also looking forward to ultimately sharing my 'before and after' photos."

*NSYNC is gearing up to unveil their music video for their reunion track "Better Place" - and they're showing love for their fans in the process.

Part one of a two-part fan documentary was released on the boy band's YouTube channel on Friday (Oct. 13), highlighting five of *NSYNC's biggest fans, who know every word, every dance move and every harmony in the band's discography. In the clip, the group of fans find out that they will be starring in the upcoming music video for "Better Place," representing each member of *NSYNC - Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

The upcoming second video is set to showcase these superfans standing in for the band members and becoming *NSYNC as they perform choreography from the movie Trolls Band Together, which hits theaters on Nov. 17.

The song marks *NSYNC's first musical release since 2002 (when the Neptunes remix of "Girlfriend," featuring Nelly, arrived) and it comes just days after the group stepped onstage together at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards to present the award for best pop to Taylor Swift for "Anti-Hero." The group last took the VMAs stage in 2013, for Timberlake's Video Vanguard Award medley performance.

See below.

"Are you guys doing something?" Taylor Swift asked the members of *NSYNC on Sept. 12 while onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards, where the reunited boy band had just arrived to shrieks and presented Swift the best pop trophy. "I need to know what it is!" *NSYNC was back, and even pop's biggest superstar was amped.

Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone demurred at the time, but soon after the VMAs, *NSYNC announced "Better Place," its first new song together in over two decades. The shimmering, falsetto-heavy disco-pop track was created for Trolls Band Together, the third installment in the hit animated film series in which Timberlake voices a main character, Branch, and has contributed hits to each of the first two Trolls movies.

"My excitement started way back in the early part of the year," says Gina Shay, the producer/music supervisor for the films. That was when Timberlake sent her a demo of "Better Place," designed to follow his Billboard Hot 100-topping smash "Can't Stop the Feeling!" from the original Trolls film in 2016 and his SZA collaboration, "The Other Side," from 2020's Trolls World Tour.

Shortly after sending the demo, Timberlake texted Shay that he felt inspired to reunite *NSYNC to record "Better Place." "It was like dynamite was going off inside my brain," Shay says. After all, *NSYNC - whose four studio albums have sold 27.9 million copies, according to Luminate, and scored turn-of-the-century smashes like "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me" - hadn't released music together since 2002.

And while Trolls Band Together focuses on a boy band reunion, Shay says that the plot had been locked in long before any talk of an *NSYNC comeback. "The movie's story has been solid for about four years," she says, "so it was just that perfect confluence of a song to reunite *NSYNC and to carry the narrative."

Warning: This post contains spoilers from the latest episode of The Masked Singer.

The Masked Singer threw it back to the 2000s on Wednesday.

*NSYNC's Lance Bass brought out an additional clue for Pickle: a group of Pickles wearing wigs.

"I've done so many things for so many year and people always associate me with my famous friends," Pickle explained.

Bass, 44, came out with another clue for S'more - a map of the S'more Bros 2000 Tour.

"2000s were a busy time for me," S'more explained. "I was busy touring with my bros."

After *NSYNC - the five members include Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick - reunited at the 2023 VMAs and put out their first song in 20 years, called "Better Days," people are curious what the future holds for the boy band.

"Justin came to us with this idea for this song and said, 'Hey, I'd love for you to be a part of this.' That's how it all went down. We don't know what is happening after that," Fatone, 46, exclusively told OK! on Thursday, October 5, in Hoboken, N.J., while promoting Heluva Good! Dip, which is bringing the No Team Required Tailgate Tour to four major cities across the U.S. (Hoboken, Austin, Charleston, Raleigh) where fans can experience a tricked-out tailgating experience. "People are obviously yelling and screaming for a tour, but there's a lot of things that come into play before that could happen. There's five guys - some of us are married, some have kids, some may not want to do it. We have to have that conversation and talk about what we do now that the song is out there."

"People are listening and loving it, which is great. It's weird. It's as if we died and came back to life. It's odd," the musical artist noted, adding that he didn't anticipate the reunion and song to go viral.

"I didn't think it was going to have the magnitude it had. I didn't think about it hitting the charts, which I know sounds stupid. I wasn't even thinking about that! It was like, 'This is for the Trolls Band Together movie. Let's do it for fun,'" the New York native shared. "I wasn't thinking like, 'You're on the charts in Canada, Belgium, Germany' - all these places we haven't been to in years! Why is this even happening? Of course, it's the connection they feel to *NSYNC, to Justin, the movie connection. It just all worked. The only thing that changes is if we go, 'Do we want to record new music? Do we want to go on tour? Do we do stuff as a group? Everybody open their calendar!'"

*NSYNC's first single since 2002, "Better Place," brings the group back to the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Oct. 14) for the first time since that year, following the song's first week of release.

The track, released Sept. 29 on DreamWorks/RCA Records from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, due Oct. 20 (ahead of the movie's expected Nov. 17 premiere), starts at No. 25 on the Hot 100. It tallied 29 million radio airplay audience impressions and 4.8 million official streams and sold 17,000 downloads in the United States in the tracking week ending Oct. 5, according to Luminate.

Notably, "Better Place" ties *NSYNC's highest Hot 100 start: the group's debut hit, "I Want You Back," began at No. 25 on the March 7, 1998-dated chart.

The new single concurrently begins at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 21 on Radio Songs. The latter marks the highest entrance for a song by a group since Radio Songs began including all-format airplay in 1998; second-best for a group in a lead role in that span? *NSYNC's "Pop" (No. 24, 2001).

As previously reported, "Better Place" bounds in at No. 12 on Adult Pop Airplay, No. 13 on Adult Contemporary and No. 16 on Pop Airplay.

*NSYNC's first single since 2002, "Better Place," soars onto multiple Billboard radio airplay charts (dated Oct. 14), following its first week of release.

The song, released Sept. 29 on DreamWorks/RCA Records from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, due Oct. 20 (ahead of the movie's expected Nov. 17 premiere), starts at No. 12 on Adult Pop Airplay, No. 13 on Adult Contemporary and No. 16 on Pop Airplay, encompassing airplay Sept. 29-Oct. 5.

(The charts reflect plays on reporting adult pop, adult contemporary and pop-formatted stations, respectively. Airplay is monitored by Mediabase and provided to Billboard by Luminate.)

On both Adult Pop Airplay, which began in Billboard's pages in March 1996, and Pop Airplay, which originated in October 1992, the entrances are the highest ever for a song by a group. On Adult Contemporary, the arrival is the highest for a group, excluding holiday fare, since Luminate data began powering the chart in July 1993.

Notably, participating pop and adult pop iHeartMedia and Audacy stations played "Better Place" every other hour during the song's release day, while Cumulus reporters spun it hourly over eight hours that day.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone paid a visit to & Juliet on Broadway! Check out photos below!

& 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 hits, including "Since U Been Gone," "Roar," "I Want It That Way," "Confident," and more.

Before he possibly takes the stage with *NSYNC again, Joey Fatone visited Hoboken on Thursday for the "No Team Required" tailgate tour. The singer partnered with Heluva Good Dips who is making a donation to Community Foodbank of New Jersey for every fan meet and greet.

After speaking with former *NSYNC member - and all-around great guy - Joey Fatone, I found myself enchanted beyond belief. I came away from our conversation fully understanding why he has committed the last five years of his life to working with Heluva Good! to help end hunger.

On Oct. 5, 2023, Joey and Heluva Good! kick off the No Teams Required Tour, and I'll be honest, I've never wanted to live in a team-free town more than I do at this moment.

Together, Heluva Good! and Joey are going to Hoboken, Austin, Charleston, and Raleigh to bring an elevated tailgating experience to cities without their own sports teams. However, these events go far beyond camaraderie as Heluva Good! has committed to donating $25 per person to a local food bank.

All you have to do is show up and have a great time. My conversation with Joey begins and ends with his big heart. It's the circle of life.

Lance Bass' kids are officially *NSYNC fans.

During an appearance on the Hey Dude... The 90s Called! podcast, the famous boy band member revealed the first time his twin son and daughter, Alexander and Violet, heard his beloved music -- and the answer may shock you.

"Today was the very first day that I had my kids listen to an *NSYNC song," he said on the Oct. 2 episode. "I don't know why it's taken me two years to play 'Bye Bye Bye' or anything to them."

However, not to worry: He and husband Michael Turchin's twins -- who will celebrate their second birthday on Oct. 13 -- "loved" it.

The timing could not have been more apropos for Bass to introduce his youngsters to the group's iconic songs as Fisher-Price recently released a Little People set of the *NSYNC members modeled after their No Strings Attached album cover. As the proud dad explained, the kids played with the figurines as they watched the "Bye Bye Bye" music video.

Brian Austin Green is getting candid about being an ally to his gay son.

While appearing on Monday's episode of the "Frosted Tips With Lance Bass" podcast, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star opened up about parenting his eldest son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green. Green said the experience had illuminated the ways in which being gay isn't really as different as he'd once imagined.

The *NSYNC star was the first to broach the subject, telling Green he must be the "coolest dad ever," adding that 21-year-old Kassius "was so lucky" to be in Green's family because "so many kids out there don't get that." Bass himself came out as gay in 2006, telling People at the time that he'd waited to share that part of himself publicly: "I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said [that I was gay], it would overpower everything."

If you're Joey Fatone, you're definitely having one hell of a kick off to the fall season. From sending millennials into a full-on frenzy by reuniting with *NSYNC on stage for the 2023 MTV VMAs to the band releasing their first song together in 20(!) years, Joey is really reeling in the glory.

While fans of the group and each respective member have speculated that a well-awaited tour is on the docket for 2024, Joey - who is just as eager to see if it'll happen - has spent his time lately prepping for another tour. And, it's one that fans can be sure is for a good cause.

Joining forces with the Heluva Good! brand, the Fat One's founder is heading out on the No Team Required Tailgate Tour to bring an unforgettable experience to fans everywhere. Stopping by four U.S. cities - Hoboken, Austin, Charleston and Raleigh - the tour will see Heluva Good! donate $25 (up to $5,000 per city) for every person who attends to No Kid Hungry. And yes, there will be endless dips for you to try.

Of course, a grocery store run for Joey absolutely includes picking up a few tubs of his favorite Heluva Good! Dip (spoiler alert: it's the French Onion variety), but there's actually something else he has to grab every time he visits his local Publix - and, he picks up four jars at a time.

"In Publix, there's pickles in there called Grillo's Pickles," he enthusiastically told Parade. "It's a container - not even on the shelf with all the other pickles if you go down to pickle aisle - but in the area where they have the cold cuts and all the other the other ones that are already pre-cut. There is a place [for them] and they're called Grillo's Pickles."

For years, many fans have dreamed of a joint Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC tour. Now, with *NSYNC's explosive recent reunion reigniting such hopes, the Backstreet Boys tell us they'd love to hit the road with the group.

"At this point in our career, new stuff is what brings a breath of fresh air, like the [2011] tour we did with New Kids on the Block," Howie Dorough said during an exclusive interview at Utah's recent FanX Salt Lake Comic & Pop Culture Convention. "I've always said if we were ever to do something with *NSYNC or the Spice Girls that would be really cool, or even with Take That over in Europe. It's all about fun new things, so I'd totally be up for it."

Despite decades of perceived rivalry between the two chart-topping groups, Dorough and his bandmates have long been friends with members of *NSYNC (Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Justin Timberlake) and have even worked and performed together on various projects.

Which is why Dorough's thrilled for the reunited group, who came together at the MTV Video Music Awards ahead of this week's release of "Better Place," their first new single in 20+ years.

"They made a hell of a splash at the VMAs and good for them because the four other guys [besides Timberlake] have been patiently waiting to do something, so I'm really happy for them," Dorough, 50, said. "I've always told Joey, 'There's room out there for all of us and whether it's four of you or five of you, you could still go out there and tour. We did a couple of runs without Kevin [Richardson] and fans were still very appreciative.'"

Dancing With the Stars alum Joey Fatone has gushed over new host Julianne Hough in an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun.

The dance competition show kicked off its 32nd season on September 26 with 14 brand new celebrities and new host Julianne, who replaced Tyra Banks.

Joey Fatone, 46, has weighed in on the switch-up days after the show premiered on ABC and was available to stream the next day on Hulu and Disney+.

"I've watched little bits and pieces of certain dances of certain people.

"It's weird watching the first episode because I get nervous just watching them because I know exactly what it was like doing that for the first time and being so much...out of their comfort zone," the singer told The U.S. Sun while promoting his partnership with Heluva Good! Dip.

When asked what it was like seeing Julianne, 35, return to the show - someone who beat Joey in Season 4 and won the mirrorball with partner Apolo Ohno - he reminisced on their time together.

In a Reel posted to his Instagram, celebrity trainer Ben Bruno can be seen putting Justin Timberlake through some serious work, with the singer making light work of a sled loaded up with 18 plates.

'Here's Justin Timberlake pressing 440lbs on the sled,' Bruno wrote in the caption. 'That's some serious work! This is a full-body exercise that requires the upper body and lower body to be *NSYNC, so naturally he crushed it.'

Instead of a standard continuous sled push, the press Timberlake completes includes a step forward, so that the bars meet his shoulders, and then an overhead press so that the sled moves a couple of feet. He then repeats the move with the alternate leg forward. This smokes the shoulders, traps, chest and core while burning the quads. It also delivers huge hypertrophic results, which the *NSYNC singer is clearly reaping the rewards of under Bruno's direction.

*NSYNC's much-hyped reunion - tied to the Trolls Band Together movie soundtrack single "Better Place," the boy band's first new song in 22 years - has been one of the best-kept secrets in show business. Even when Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone made a surprise appearance at last month's MTV Video Music Awards to present a trophy to stunned superfan Taylor Swift, Swift herself couldn't get them to spill the beans about their plans, which had actually been in the works since March.

Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment days after the buoyant, disco-tinged "Better Place" finally dropped to great fanfare, Fatone acknowledges that all this secrecy annoyed many of Swift's fellow *NSYNC fanatics. "It is been quite a fun little thing to do. A lot of people are not happy," he chuckles. "They were like, 'What's going on?' I'm like, 'Why do you need to know right now?' Everybody needs to know! It's like, let it happen. Just let it happen. If it's going to happen, let it happen."

Fatone, Bass, Chasez, and Kirkpatrick reunited in 2019 during Ariana Grande's headlining set at Coachella. (Fatone admits that he didn't expect such a warm welcome at the festival, and recalls thinking, "Um, they reallywant us to go on?") But the last time all five *NSYNC members shared a stage was a decade ago, at the 2013 VMAs, when Timberlake received the Video Vanguard Award. All of Timberlake's bandmates - including Bass, in a 2019 Yahoo interview - had expressed a willingness or even eagerness to reunite the quintet, but it wasn't until this year that Timberlake got on board, when the nostalgic storyline of Trolls Band Together made him open to revisiting the past. Fatone says he totally understands Timberlake's previous reluctance.

"Justin came up to us about the idea and ... it only fit right for us to do this together as a group. I think the message, the meaning, everything just all around, came to him," says Fatone. "Because you got to really think about it, too, that he's the youngest one of the group. In general though, think about it this way: He is at the top pinnacle of his career, for many years now. There's nothing wrong with that. Nobody's upset about that. We all love it and we all support it. But when you're going to go backwards... do you think you want to go backwards? If you go back, would you want to split it four ways with other people again, or do your business that you built up yourself?"

All *NSYNC fans have ever wanted was a reunion. Over 20 years after the band said "bye bye bye," fans finally got what they were waiting for ... and then some.

The boy band of the early aughts - which consists of Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick - reunited for the first time since 2013 at the VMAs on Sept. 12, and soon after released their first song in over 20 years for "Trolls World Tour." Since then, they also went on the YouTube show "Hot Ones" and filmed videos for social media together. Now, fans are hoping for a tour.

In short? Millennials everywhere, Taylor Swift included, are freaking out.

Joey Fatone tells TODAY.com that the feeling of being back together is indescribable.

"It's one of those things as if we have passed away and (came) back to life in some odd, weird way. And I don't know how to explain it," Fatone says. "Just to see the excitement, and it's interesting to see the older generation showing the younger generation what we did."

Baby, fry, fry, fry.

*NSYNC recently reunited to release their first song in more than two decades, "Better Place," and now, Joey Fatone is revealing how the 2000's heartthrobs have transformed into esteemed gentlemen.

"There's more depth to the conversation. Let's go there," Fatone, 46, told The Post on Monday of his formerly spiky, frosted-tipped counterparts' more mischievous days. "It's not just, 'What are we doing tonight?'"

"...We don't talk about sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll anymore. It's more like 'dude, look at the air fryer there. Oh, my gosh! It's got two drawers, it's unbelievable," he said of Justin Timberlake, 42, JC Chasez, 47, Lance Bass, 44, and Chris Kirkpatrick, 51.

Another day, another film that's shot to the top of Netflix's list of most-watched movies. Because the streaming service releases numerous new titles every month, we keep our eyes peeled to see which ones are resonating most with viewers. Now, it appears that the dark thriller Reptile, which premiered on September 29 and which features an all-star cast, quickly picked up steam over the weekend.

Reptile follows detective Tom Nichols (Benicio del Toro), who is put on the case when a young real estate agent gets brutally murdered. However, while Tom thinks the prime suspect is the victim's boyfriend, Will (Justin Timberlake), he discovers a web of lies wrapped around the case that makes things much more complicated.

In addition to The Usual Suspects star and the former *NSYNC member, Reptile features another '90s icon in its cast-Alicia Silverstone (Clueless), who plays Tom's wife and helpful confidante, Judy.

Iconic boy band *NSYNC is bringing back the frosted tips and all-jean ensembles.

Member and Brooklyn native Joey Fatone talks about the band's upcoming music release.

Paramount+ has greenlit a new documentary that will shine a spotlight on the boy bands that dominated pop culture and the music industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block.

The documentary will feature new interviews and material, along with archival concert footage, unaired interviews and candid clips that feature original members, songwriters, producers, managers, family members and fans.

The project is produced by music manager Johnny Wright (New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Britney Spears) and Gunpower & Sky CEO Van Toffler ("TRL," MTV VMAs, "Words & Music," "Released," "Election," "Tupac: Resurrection") and directed by Tamra Davis ("Rock-CB4," "Billy Madison," "Half Baked," "Crossroads,13: The Musical").

Justin Timberlake has a strong message for anyone who isn't a fan of "*NSYNC's first song in 20 years. In a hilarious blooper reel, the pop star and his recently reunited bandmates - JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick - promote their new track, "Better Place," from Trolls Band Together. "You're listening to our new song," Fatone tells the camera of the tune, which dropped Friday (Sept. 29).

Then, right on cue, Timberlake jokingly adds, "Let us know if you like it. If you don't, go f-k yourself," earning raucous laughter from the rest of the guys.

"l heard 'go love yourself'...anyone else?" Chasez responded in the comments with a laughing-crying emoji.

"BETTER PLACE IS OUT! WE HOPE YOU LIKE IT," the "Mirrors" singer captioned the video posted on his Instagram.

After coming together once again at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, Lance Bass is still in awe of how special it felt to reunite with his *NSYNC bandmates on stage, to the massive cheer of the crowd.

Bass walked the red carpet on night one of this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday, and he spoke with ET's Cassie DiLaura about the unforgettable experience of joining together at the VMAs.

"It is beautiful, you know? To be this age and the fans are still this excited, it is a dream come true," Bass, 44, shared with a smile. "I had no idea the fandom would go this nuts."

"I blame Taylor Swift," he added with a laugh, in reference to how the group's reunion culminated in presenting a star-struck Swift with the award for Best Pop Video. "I think she she sicced the Swifties on us and I think the Swifties and the *NSYNCers just kind of created this tsunami. And I think it's been so fun!"

Tim McGraw reunited with Lance Bass before taking the stage at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday night (September 22), and the superstar duo seemingly confirmed they'd be open to collaborating.

"My man! How are you, brother? Good to see you," McGraw greeted Bass as the two beloved artists embraced in a hug. The reunion comes shortly after McGraw shared a throwback clip of a performance with *NSYNC - which included Bass, along with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. McGraw teamed up with the beloved 90s band for a rendition of "Stand By Me" in 2001.

McGraw said when he shared the video (one day after *NSYNC reunited on stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards) that "if the rumors [of an *NSYNC reunion] are true," he's interested in joining forces with the band again.

Bass appeared to be on board with that when he embraced McGraw on Night 1 of the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival, shortly before McGraw took the stage. The "Standing Room Only" star said "I'm ready."

Things are getting fishy between Lance Bass and Ashley Tisdale.

The stars come together to re-live the early aughts Total Request Live days -- fittingly, on the same week that the iconic Carson Daly-hosted MTV show celebrates the 25th anniversary of its debut -- in ET's exclusive first look at Nickelodeon's upcoming Baby Shark's Big Movie.

In the clip below, Tisdale's rising pop starfish, Stariana, debuts a new music video for her splash hit, "It's Stariana!" Bass, with a name already fit for a fish pun, plays the host of Tidal Request Live.

See the cute video in the player below.

Fans can dive in when Baby Shark's Big Movie premieres this winter in the U.S. on Paramount+. Based on the globally beloved preschool property, the movie is co-produced by Nickelodeon Animation and The Pinkfong Company.

In the meantime, "It's Stariana!" will hit the small screen during an upcoming episode of Baby Shark's Big Show!, airing Monday, Sept. 25 at 11:30 a.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon.

Lance Bass and his fellow *NSYNC members have been blown away by the response their recent reunion has prompted. While attending the first night of the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Friday, September 22nd, Bass spoke with iHeartRadio's Emily Curl and reflected on the time since the boyband reunited at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.

"It's been a crazy week for sure," Lance said before giving a shoutout to the fans. "We did not expect the fandom to go that nuts. So, thank you! We love you all." The singer and podcast host went on to tease a possible full-blown comeback from *NSYNC. "We just want to let the fans know that they are shaping our future, for sure. So, keep it going!"

Lance added that while they "can't do anything right now" due to the ongoing writer's and actor's strike, the band members are "waiting for the strike to end so we can really strike it," and winked at the camera.

"It's been overwhelming, really," Bass said of the fans' response. "Yes, [fans] have been supporting us for years but until we did that moment at the VMAs you didn't really understand where the fandom was and we hear you and it is amazing and it's going to be a fun ride."

Next week, on September 29th, *NSYNC will release their new song "Better Place" from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack. The song will mark the boyband's first release in over two decades. To promote the song, all of the members recently appeared on Hot Ones for their first official interview since the announcement of their comeback single.

Lance Bass and JC Chasez are even more *NSYNC than you thought-so much so that they almost showed up to the MTV Video Music Awards wearing the exact same thing.

In a video set to David Guetta and Bebe Rexha's "I'm Good (Blue)," Bass tried on a powder blue suit on the sales floor of a store, practically preening in the stylish 'fit as he danced around the racks.

"No one's gonna have this suit, it's so unique!" he wrote over the clip, before it changed to show Chasez feeling himself in a similar manner in the comfort of his own home.

*NSYNC's JC Chasez and Lance Bass are teasing the potential for fans to see more of the group ... and it sounds like we shouldn't rule out anything just yet!

We got JC at LAX, where he told us how fun it was to get back in the studio to record "Better Place," the song featured in the upcoming film, "Trolls Band Together" ... especially coming 2 decades after their last studio effort.

Now, sources have told us the track would be a one-off for the fellas -- but we couldn't pass up the chance to ask JC his feelings about *NSYNC doing more ... especially because their reunion's drawn so much attention.

He played it coy ... telling us he's just focused on the single for now, but he didn't completely crush the hopes of fans, and even said, "anything is possible."

Lance was also at LAX, separate from JC, and when we asked him the same thing, he had an interesting response -- putting the focus on the ongoing writers' and actors' strike.

Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are giving Us the digital get down about that explosive *NSYNC reunion.

"It was a very natural thing. The last 23 years, we've all kind of discussed maybe doing something here, maybe doing something there," Bass, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting The Children's Place Holiday Boy Band Campaign, which features members from Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and Boyz II Men. "We did Coachella and we did the VMAs 10 years ago, so it just made sense at that time."

*NSYNC - which consists of Bass and Fatone, 46, along with JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake - left everyone feeling "millennial-triggered" at the VMAs earlier this month when they reunited on stage to present Taylor Swift with the Best Pop Award. Two days later, the group announced they would be dropping their first song in over two decades, "Better Place," on September 29.

Bass shared that it was Timberlake's upcoming film, Trolls Band Together, that brought the five guys back to the studio. "This came up because of Justin and the movie that he was doing," he explained, adding that things "grew naturally" from there.

The Children's Place, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCE), an omni-channel children's specialty portfolio of brands with an industry-leading digital-first model, is thrilled to kick off its 2023 Holiday campaign, "An Iconic Holiday," a trilogy that connects music, family, and fashion. The campaign is targeted at its current and prospective shopper audiences, with a focus on its largest audience, millennials. The first of its three-part campaign launches in partnership with pop culture icons AJ McLean, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Wanya Morris and their families.

"Fusing my love of family, fashion and music for this campaign was everything. The Children's Place is such a strong household name, it was incredible working with them, AJ, Joey, and Wanya on this. I'll cherish the relationships I have with the guys on-and-off the stage forever. Plus, it's not often that I get to work with my kids, so being able to spend the day with them matching in The Children's Place's cutest festive fashion was such a treat," said Lance Bass.

"When I got the call from The Children's Place on this opportunity, I knew it would be a hit. All of us guys have evolved from boy band members to dads and our fans have supported us throughout it all. It is truly incredible to be able to show our fans, who are now parents themselves, a side of us that they haven't seen before. Plus, how often do you see four boy band members reunite as the ultimate 'Dad Band', wearing matching pajamas?! It's iconic," said Joey Fatone.

Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake are teaming up on a massive new entertainment complex in New York City.

T-Squared Social, located on 42nd Street, opened Wednesday. Formed of a collaboration between Woods, Timberlake, NEXUS Luxury Collection and 8AM Golf, the sports bar clocks in at an enormous 22,000 square feet.

"The idea for T-Squared Social came to us during a round of golf at Albany, our development in The Bahamas," Woods said in a release. "Justin and I thought it would be cool to create a place that combines our favorite things and brings people together to just have a great time. We always knew we wanted to do something together, and NEXUS gave us the platform to bring our idea to life."

*NSYNC knows that fans want them back on the stage, but there's a reason why they're holding out on a reunion performance.

The iconic boy band recently reunited at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards to present Taylor Swift with the trophy for Best Pop Video. Although the five-piece had "a blast" getting back together, according to Lance Bass, it's also been tearin' up his heart a little bit to know that the group's initial plans to perform their new song "Better Place" from the upcoming movie Trolls Band Together never got to see the light of day.

"It was kind of bittersweet because we did have bigger plans for this song," Lance-who teamed up bandmate Joey Fatone, as well as Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean and Boyz II Men's Wanyá Morris, for The Children's Place's "Dad Band" holiday campaign-told E! News in an exclusive joint interview. "Unfortunately, there is a SAG strike and, in solidarity with WGA and SAG, we're not able to promote the film and song. We were supposed to perform it."

*NSYNC set the internet ablaze when they reunited at the VMAs on Sept. 12 to present the best pop award to Taylor Swift, and sparked larger rumors of new music, touring and more, much to the delight of fans. But fellow boybanders 98 Degrees, who are making a comeback of their own, were a little less than thrilled at having the competition.

Speaking with Andy Cohen for the host's SiriusXM live show on Tuesday (Sept. 19), the group - which consists of members Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre - shared their feelings about *NSYNC's return to the scene. Cohen wondered "how annoyed" 98 Degrees felt when the "I Want You Back" singers appeared to make their return.

"Stole the thunder," Nick jokingly replied, with Jeffre adding, "It's a boy band universe."

Drew then gave a serious response, saying that *NSYNC's return can only benefit the entire boyband genre in the long run. "When one succeeds, we all succeed. Because we're all kind of like us, *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, we're all clumped into the same, into the same kind of pile there. So, if one's elevated, it elevates everybody," he said.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone reveals what it really felt like getting the band back together for the first time in over two decades.

"It was fun!" Fatone, 46, told the crowd at 90s Con Florida Sunday while speaking on a panel alongside Backstreet Boys' Howie Dorough and AJ McLean and TLC's Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins. "MTV Awards was really cool. It was fun for me and the guys to get back together. It was surreal in the sense of we kind of just stepped back from each other. Literally, we fell into place."

Last week, the boy band, consisting of Fatone, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick, announced that their first single in over 20 years titled "Better Place" would appear in the soundtrack for Universal's Trolls Band Together.

"We're excited for *NSYNC to come out with a song, which is crazy to say after 25 years," Fatone told panel moderator and PEOPLE Senior Editor Breanne L. Heldman at 90s Con in Tampa. "And no, I don't know if there is a tour!"

As *NSYNC revisit their boy-band days ahead of the release of their first new song in more than 20 years, they have one question: "Who had us pose like that?!"

On Tuesday (Sept. 19), the quintet posted a new Instagram video with that caption, that shows the five bandmates casually entering a room together, soundtracked by Simple Plan's 2002 song "I'm Just a Kid," only to fall into a completely ridiculous group pose. We then flash to the original photo, taken in January 2001, which has every guy making an over-the-top facial expression without any context or explanation against a white backdrop.

Justin Timberlake posted the video to his own account with the simple caption "Just kids." Jersey Shore star Snooki shared her thoughts in the comments section, writing, "I'm calling 911 i can't handle all of this."

Lance Bass might be looking to make some big business moves on the heels of the massive *NSYNC reunion ... by using one of the boy band's most famous phrases.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Lance wants to trademark the phrase "Dirty Pop" and slap it on a bunch of junk food ... like candy, chocolate and flavored popcorn.

Of course, the phrase is the opening line in *NSYNC's smash hit from way back in the day, "Pop"

The boy band reunited Tuesday for the first time in a decade, presenting an award at the MTV VMAs ... and fans have been going nuts ever since, so it seems like a perfect time for Lance and the guys to cash in.

The docs show Lance is also looking to trademark "Boy Band Wars" ... indicating he may want to use it for a potential TV series!!!

The guys are already capitalizing on all the *NSYNC buzz now that they are once again front and center in Hollywood ... rolling out a new single for Justin Timberlake's upcoming 'Trolls' movie.

In addition, Lance's company filed docs to secure the rights to "Frosted Tips" ... for a potential new podcast!!!

The ladies of Vanderpump Rules are hitting notes and letting loose!

On Friday, Ariana Madix reposted a video to her Instagram Story that showed her singing her heart out with Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright to *NSYNC's 2000 hit single, "Bye, Bye, Bye."

The group's performance included a special appearance by Lance Bass, who was one-fifth of the boy band alongside Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez. (Bass, 44, also happens to be a good pal of VPR doyenne Lisa Vanderpump.)

The video slowly pans around the room to show Bass dancing and singing to his song, surrounded by the women, who can be seen laughing and holding out the last note in the track's bridge.

*NSYNC are tearin' up our hearts with news of their reunion single, "Better Place," and Justin Timberlake kept the buzz going on Thursday (Sept. 14) when he shared footage alongside JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass in the studio.

"So many stars aligned and that's why I hit y'all and was like, 'Hey, something came up,'" Timberlake is heard telling his former bandmates in the clip, as scenes of the group laying down vocals and harmonies, before jamming out to their upbeat pop track, weave across the screen. "If we do this song, it's a love letter to our fans. I would be honored to have the group on this song.""I don't mind that the world spins faster, faster, faster / Just let me take you to a better place," the boy band sings in the song's breezy chorus.

The song - which appears to follow in the upbeat footsteps of Trolls lead single "Can't Stop the Feeling!" and Trolls World Tour opener "The Other Side" - is available to pre-save now but won't be released until Sept. 29.

*NSYNC's first new song in over two decades, "Better Place," was announced early Thursday, with parts of the song featured in the new Trolls Band Together trailer.

The full song will be released on Sept. 29, but fans can also hear portions of the song on TikTok.

The song's announcement came hours after the band reunited at the 2023 MTV VMAs Tuesday, where they presented Taylor Swift with the award for best pop video and exchanged friendship bracelets with the singer.

Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass teased the release of "Better Place" earlier Wednesday, in a clip were they lip-synced to a scene from the sitcom Friends. Fans began speculating about what it could all mean.

The video sees the band in front of a blue screen as they lip sync along to a scene featuring a conversation between Matt LeBlanc's character Joey Tribbiani and Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel Green. The audio was taken from the season 5 episode "The One With all the Resolutions," which first aired in 1999.

Trolls Band Together hits theaters on Nov. 17.

*NSYNC, one of the leading boy bands of the 90s, reunited in full - yes, that means Justin Timberlake was there - during Tuesday's MTV Video Music Awards.

Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Timberlake appeared on the VMA stage to present the award for best pop to Taylor Swift, who took home the first trophy of the night for her hit 2022 song "Anti-Hero."

Swift jumped out of her seat when they first appeared on stage, and cheered along with the boisterous crowd at the sight of all five members of the iconic boy band back together. Upon accepting her award, the group handed her a friendship bracelet along with her statuette.

The last time all five members of *NSYNC appeared on stage together was at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, when Timberlake received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award and surprised viewers by performing "Bye Bye Bye" and "Girlfriend" with his four bandmates.

*NSYNC first burst onto the pop music scene in the late 90s, joining the boy band craze alongside 98 Degrees and the Backstreet Boys.

Lance Bass and Taylor Swift shared a sweet moment at the 2023 MTV VMAs when the former *NSYNC member proffered friendship bracelets to the singer while presenting her with an award.

On Tuesday 12 September, *NSYNC reunited on stage to hand out the award to Swift for the Best Pop Video.

As Swift hugged each *NSYNC member in turn on stage, after gleefully reacting to the boy band reunion, Bass took the opportunity to hand her multiple colourful beaded bracelets, in keeping with the tradition popular among Swift's fans.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 ... 21 years after the original, Nia Vardolas is still at it with this franchise: starring; writing; directing and co-producing with Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson. John Corbett returns. *NSYNC's Joey Fatone also returns.

The Masked Singer is back! Before season 10 officially premieres on Sept. 27, everyone's favorite mystery singing competition will return with a special kick-off episode at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday night - and Billboard has exclusive previews of two very special duets below.

The first duet combines an eight-time Grammy-nominated boy band alum with the rapper behind the hits "Like You" (with Ciara) and "Let Me Hold You" (with Omarion): *NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Bow Wow belt their hearts out while covering The Jackson 5's "ABC," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970.

Fatone competed in the first season of The Masked Singer. As Rabbit, he performed songs such as Bell Bev DeVoe's "Poison" and finished fourth. In 2020, Bow Wow competed on the third season of The Masked Singer as Frog; he finished in third place and delivered memorable covers of Imagine Dragons' "Whatever It Takes" and Naughty by Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray."

Steve Harwell, the longtime frontman of the Grammy-nominated pop rock band Smash Mouth that was behind the megahit "All Star" has died. He was 56.

The band's manager, Robert Hayes, said Harwell "passed peacefully and comfortably" Monday morning surrounded by family and friends at his home in Boise, Idaho. The cause of death was acute liver failure, Hayes said in a statement.

Smash Mouth is also known for hits including "Walkin' on the Sun" and "Then The Morning Comes."

On Monday, tributes began pouring in. Fieri wrote on Instagram: "To my brutha Steve RIP. Today is a sad day, I will miss my friend."

*NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone also shared short homages.

"I'm truly sorry for the difficult battle you had to fight," Kirkpatrick posted on Instagram. "You were an amazing soul and will be deeply missed."

Fatone said he had known Harwell for a long time.

"Opened for *NSYNC and even was my wedding singer at my wedding," wrote Fatone. "Hopefully people out there that are dealing with addiction. get the right help that they need."

I am dying right now ...

There is about to be a special edition Little People Collector Figure Set, and y'all, it's *NSYNC!!

I'm pretty positive I've never wanted anything so badly in my entire life.

This *NSYNC Little People Collector's Set includes all 5 members of the group: Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass, and each little figure stands just over 2.5 inches tall.
