1) Ex-'N Sync member and current gay Lance Bass has temporarily relocated to New York to star on Broadway in Hairspray, and he already sounds like a seasoned pro. On finding a rental: "There’s a lot of pieces of crap here for a lot of money." On the Upper East Side: "The Upper East Side? I’m not in college anymore.” Wait, do we like Lance Bass? [Intelligencer]
