Lance Bass Hates New York City

This item from New York magazine speaks for itself.

Lance Bass is here for a few months to star as Corny Collins in Hairspray. He’s not sure he likes New York so much. First off, it took three weeks, and three brokers, to find an apartment. “There’s a lot of pieces of crap here for a lot of money,” he says. “And I don’t think anyone here has any style. I was looking at fully furnished places and it was like, you can either have a bunch of floral prints or some dusty couch from the 1960s.” But he’s adapting. “My walking pace has picked up a lot,” he says. “And apparently I’m ruder. I read that someone met me at a club and told me I looked great and I was like, ‘Don’t even think about taking a picture.’ Which really sounds like me. And then they printed a picture they’d taken of me, which makes even less sense.” He’s not hanging out at fellow ’N Sync alum Justin Timberlake’s barbecue joint. “I’ve been a few times,” he says. “But it’s really up there. The Upper East Side? I’m not in college anymore.” And, after coming out of the closet not so long ago, he has another startling admission to make: “I was the worst dancer in the band. I kind of hate to dance.”

      Obviously she is not looking at the right places for an apartment or her budget isn't what it used to be. Style, since when do you have a voice on what style is???? NY does want you here anyway!

      He sounds like a Diva. Get over yourself Lance, you're not that big anymore.. The only reason this guy gets any attention is because he recently came out of the closet. I would not want to meet him, what a loser.

      He is such a tool, but yet he amuses me… I think #90 is right, he desparately wants to be Elton John, but there's only room for one Queen High Bitch–plus Elton has talent… and money.

      When he says that he doesn't like the Upper East Side because "he's not in college anymore," he's just being a pretentious ass. The Upper East Side isn't all gorgeous brownstones and museums. I live around Justin Timberlake's new restaurant, and the area is FILLED 22-26 year old ex frat boys and "Diet Coke drinking girls" who wanted to live in Murray Hill but couldn't afford it. We didn't necessarily want to live here, but we needed to live close to our jobs and we couldn't afford to live downtown. But fuck you, Lance Bass! I have a love-hate relationship with my neighborhood, and I don't like outsiders criticizing it. People all around New York hate my area because it has no "culture." Well, I'm sorry that I wasn't born into a family that can fund my coke addiction and "starving-artist" lifestyle on the Lower East Side.

      He seems like such a fuck-stick. He is trying to say the incident where he told the young man not to take his picture was false and didn't "make sense" since the young man did indeed get a picture of him to publish. The picture CLEARLY showed Lance putting his hand over his face, confirming the young man's story that Lance was NOT a willing participant in the picture taking. LANCE BASS IS A DOUCHEBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!

      There was an old issue of Life and Style in which Lance's house in LA was decorated by Joey Fatone's wife for Christmas.. If he wants to talk about tacky houses he shouldn't throw stones while living in a glass house of his own tackiness!!! I was in a shoot at his house and it looks like it was decorated to look like a Ramada Inn!

OH MY GOD HE DOESN'T LIKE NEW YORK, lets put it on the press and hate him for it.

      My stepsister knows Lance and his sister very well, and he is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. All of the comments people are posting are really mean, and I know for a fact UNTRUE!

      Lance was very generous to my stepsister, and NOT ANYTHING like people are making him out to be…and By the way, I happen to live in Mississippi, and there is NOTHING wrong with living here.

      People should not judge people that they don't even know!!

      167

      I've always thought that Lance looks like he has Down Syndrome with those weird eyes of his. Or maybe he's just a big stoner, I don't know. He really needs to get over himself because he's fucking fugly as hell! I can't wait until every little piece of his fame diminishes since he obviously doesn't know how to be gracious and grateful to the people paying him his paycheck (his fans).

      Dude. What does the Upper East Side have to do with the fact that he's not in college anymore? Does he know ANYTHING about New York City?!?
      .
      Mostly, the Upper East Side is filled with rich 30 somethings. I know, cuz I lam one and I live here…and in a hi-rise just a couple of blocks north of Timberlake's Southern Hospitality, no less!
      .
      If you want to feel like you're in college again, try going downtown to Bleecker on a Friday night. Don't come to East 76th and 2nd Avenue where Timberlake's gig is — I kid you not — squeezed in between a frickin' hardware shop and a deli. Yeah, real college-y. I'm off to get my toga right now. Whatevs.

      174

      Actually, to clarify, the lower the street numbers and the closer to 5th Avenue you get on the Upper East Side, the older and richer the general population gets. The closer you get to the East River and the higher the street numbers, the younger the general population gets. And even then, coming up on Yorkville (80th Street), you're still looking at an overall vibe of mid-to-late twenties at the very least in general, where average income can be summed up as this: a small 1 bedroom apartment still runs you an average of $3000/month in this neighbourhood.

      i met nsync july 16 99. i was a HUGE nsync fan. we went on a yacht after their concert. all i have to say is….lets do teh run down:

      Lance was giddy like a princess & came w/an entourage consisting of his mom & aunts & didnt even acknowledge me as a fan. also he refused to take a picture w/me! this whole no picture deal–it started a long time ago!

      Justin-He was obnoxious, but i guess besides that he was "pleasant". He took pics.

      Chris was great. we laughed & talked a lot. he & justin forced me to eat sushi–memorable, but –yeah he took pics too.

      Joey—Out of everyone, Joey was by far the Best. Maybe its bc we're both NYers. But we talked more than anyone. nothing was off limits. Ranging from our families to what he wanted to do after nsync–thats real. Thats getting inside someone. Thats when I knew that he was the realest member.

      jc–was pretty to look at, but he didnt come on the boat. he was probably off having some gay affair.

      That is my story of when i met nsync.

      I met Lance very briefly at club Hiro (the place that the "don't even think about taking my picture" incident happened) In July. I was in the lounge section upstairs and he walked right into me, and stopped to immediately put his hand on my chest and said "omg I'm so sorry!". I just politely said "no prob, how are you?" He said "good, good" and walked away while giving me a wave. Very nice. Hey, we all have our days and moods. Cut him some slack.
