In news that will prompt nobody except People Magazine to hold any front pages anywhere at all, *NSYNC's Lance Bass has come out as being gay.
Notes the singer and would-be space explorer: "I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy".
We're very happy for him and 'all that' but this is getting out of hand — meaning that there are now EIGHT homosexuals working in the pop music industry.
The list, as it currently stands, is:
1. Homosexual pop singer George Michael.
2. Homosexual pop singer Darren Hayes.
3. Homosexual pop singer Elton John.
4. Homosexual pop singer From The Feeling.
5. Homosexual pop singer Stephin Merritt.
6. Homosexual pop singer Boy George.
7. Homosexual pop singer Will Young.
8. Lance Bass.
These are just the ones we know about. In reality, the list probably runs to over twelve people.
At this rate there won't be any straight popstars left for people to claim are gay. Although we suppose there will always be Robbie Williams.
