Lance Bass Is A Liar

We love this drama! It's long, but worth it!
Princess Frostylocks just got OWNED by New York magazine.
Check it out:
Lance Bass Learns About Damage Control
In this week's issue of the magazine, former 'N Sync star Lance Bass talks to New York's Jada Yuan about battling the city's real-estate market (he's in town to appear in Hairspray on Broadway): "There's a lot of crap here for a lot of money," he said. "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."
He also told us about dining at Justin Timberlake's restaurant: "I've been up there a few times … But it's really up there. The Upper East Side? I'm not in college anymore."
But now Bass feels compelled to impugn our reporting, both on his MySpace page and in a statement to Vulture. See the statement, and our refutation, below.
We were going to be nice about this, because we're actually quite fond of Bass, but then we heard that he called Ms. Yuan a dumb reporter on MySpace. So we invite Bass to breath deeply, stop reading Perez Hilton (who posted the story on his own site under the typically over-the-top headline, "Lance Bass Hates New York City"), and take some lessons in reading comprehension. Bass's beef boils down to two points — he says he didn't say New Yorkers have no style, and he does go to Justin Timberlake's restaurant. Oh, and he really loves New York!
New York would like to make the following points: (1) We stand by the interview; Bass was not misquoted. (2) Bass is not quoted as saying New Yorkers have no style — it's clear that he's referring to the apartments he looked at. (3) The piece also does not suggest that Bass doesn't hang out at Justin Timberlake's restaurant. In fact, it specifically quotes him as saying he goes there. (4) Though Bass's quote about his dancing ability ("I was the worst dancer in the band") has not been called into question, we'd like to reiterate that Bass was, indeed, the worst dancer in 'N Sync. (5) Bass now says he's going bi-coastal; he never mentioned that to us, but we're glad to hear it! Welcome to New York, Lance.
Here's his letter in full:
Last week your reporter called me on my cell phone to ask me a number of questions in conjunction with my joining the cast of the Broadway hit musical Hairspray. She came to see me in the show but she didn't come to the after party so she requested an interview later.
I made the comment to her (that she recorded so there is no excuse for the misquote) that when trying to find an apartment here, the first two I looked at had no style. She reported that I said New Yorkers had no style, which I never said. What was conveniently left out was my statement that I am having a great time here, I love the city and I now plan to get a permanent residence here and be bi-coastal.
Later in the story the writer suggests that I don't hang out at Justin's restaurant. I have been to Justin's restaurant a number of times, and have taken my fellow cast members to it on many occasions as well.
I'm sorry floral print couches were reported on in my piece and nothing mentioned of this incredible musical, Hairspray, that I am in and how excited I am to be working and living among some of the greatest people on the planet.
Sincerely,
Lance Bass
Proud New Yorker

Yeah, but what about Fidel? Still dead (snork)?????
EVERY WORD HE SAID IN HIS INTERVIEW SOUNDS HONEST, AND HE SHOULD JUST OWN UP TO THAT……………………….
first
lol i love reading about him
I think he is just mad that Justin is having a bit of a secret tickle with his mate from back home, and not him.
The clothes line, and restaurant.. not to mention the arse action has to hurt.. it has to hurt to be left out.
He's an ASSHOLE!!
He's an MAJOR ASSHOLE!!
this guy is so annoying now!!!
This guy's a total has-been. Can we please move on?
Lance bass go to hell
Welcome to N.Y.C bitch
weak.
TOLD YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE'S LANCE LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grow up lance
OOHH.I HAVE A GOOD ONE
LANCE LIE A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHA
I really have lost a lot of respect for New York magazine. It desperately tries to be snobby and it can't own up to its own slanted "journalism".
haha lance bass got owned
This is almost as cool as when Fidel died last Friday.
Loser Face! Loser Face! Neener neener neee nerrrrr!
dude. do you even read things before you post them. they say they didn't say things when the clearly did.
Poor Lance. I guess he caught a bad case of verbal Valdiarrhea.
FIRST
again,, he's a sissypoo,, I do not like him,,
it's not that he's gay,,
it's cuz he's such a lil girl,, he has such a chip on shoulder and
is not nice to his fans,,
yuckkkkkkk
OMG DOES IT REALLY MATTER???
everyone knows you have to live in nyc longer than a couple of months before you can call yourself a true new yorker. try going to space again, crazy.
SO ANNOYING!!!! and SO FAKE
Who cares about Lance Bass, really? He should be happy he's getting any press at all, even if it is negative.
Uhhh I don't get it?????????
Umm, he's not a liar, he just didn't read the actual article, and instead got the misquote form Perez Hilton, who regularly misquotes folks just to juice things up a bit. So what they are sayin', is if Lance is guilty of anything, it's getting his facts from Perez, instead of reading the actual source. They never said he hated New York, Perez did, and he fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Who cares! This guy is a total douche! If he thinks New Yorkers have no style, then he should move back to Texas or wherever the hell he's from. There are gorgeous luxury bulidings in NYC fully furnished but he's not from here and has no taste so he doesn't know where to find them. I live in one. And it took me all of four hours to find. What a joke. Dumbass.
I personally believe that Lance Bass, such as, a U.S. American, doesn't know how to read, such as, South Africa and Iraq, such as, he can't comprehend what the fuck he's reading on PerezHilton.com. So, I personally believe that he's a douchebag, such as, a D-lister, moronic gay celebrity. Such as, he can't find his asshole on a map.
Why is he making such a big deal out of it? He needs to get over it.
What's all the fuss … this one is lucky to be working….NEXT
Um Owned by who? when did america turn into one big Gossip table in a high school cafateria. Perez..perez perz…You kinda funny and you are pretty good at what you do..but with all the problems in the world all we can talk about is a guy who was in a boy band in the 1990's…..I just realized that This is aperfect example of what wrong with this country and i am gona have to limit myself on the CRAP i read.
I love Gossip as much as the rest of you, but i think we need to start looking at the BIGGER PICTURE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NO WHERE ELSE!!!!!
the only reason why people are gay is because they cant get a gf or bf of the opposite sex and they just want to 'be a part of something' or a 'fad' lets just pass laws to marry our pets too. any hey while we're at it, lets just let everyone marry anything that they want. the world will be the same—i swear. just because your next door neighbor married a goat doesnt mean that he should be treated any different than anyone else.
It's funny, he's accusing everyone of lying. He's going to run out of fingers for all his finger pointing.
perez shut up. youre just being ridiculous. its obvious any celebrity would be THAT idiot (except maybe for you and bush) to say that when he/she knows its gonna be read by new yorkers.
PS - perez - not celebrity, celebrity wannabe.
Why is he making such a big deal about it? He needs to get over it.
piggez, leave my lance alone!!
He gives it me good and hard, then we flip and I give it him good and hard.
why you wanna be hating?
get on your fat knees and worship me piggez!!!
Is castro still dead? are the people in miami or 'little cuba" being safe?
Ok, so the guy didn't like the first 2 or 3 apts they show him, so what? And he goes sometimes to Justin's rest, but not all the time, because is very in the upper east size…and he probably is lives in Mid Town…What's wrong with that?
The press and the bloggers (yes, you my dear Perez) seems to love to trash this guy. Live him alone…He likes New York, he is in a Broawday show, having a great time….For God's sake what did he do wrong? NOTHING.
As far as I'm concerned I believe him more than the New York Magazine. A gut feeling.
Princess Frosty L. will not (but SHOULD) let this go away… this is the most publicity he's had since the NSYNC years! Keep talking Frosty! Ur just digging ur own "lil' bitch" grave!!!
*~VeRo~*
AKA *~The Self Proclaimed Perezcious Hag Bitches!~*
Bunch of queens fighting! Big shock!
Hes a Little bitch! I'd love to put him in the blender on high!

MISS U.S. AMERICAN SOUTH CAROLINA, SUCH AS, FOREVER.
HE'S BITTER BECAUSE HIS EX IS NOW DATING A PERSONAL TRAINER/MODEL AND HE'S FUG AND ALONE.
HE'S BITTER BECAUSE HIS EX IS NOW DATING A PERSONAL TRAINER/MODEL AND HE'S FUG AND ALONE. BITTER AND ALONE..POOR LANCE ASS..LOL
who fucking cares. i can't believe it even got that far
"I'm not in college anymore"….Did Lance ever go to college ??? or did he spend his college years learning the running man and doing jazz hands with NSYNC ? grow up you retard !!!! I think it's time to reschedule your trip to outer space idiot !!! NYers will chew your sachrin ass up and spit you out !!!!!!!! no southern hospitality for you here
Wow I know it. He if he can't handle it then get out now! Misquotes or even changing context can happen in an interview. It's just what happens. He's a "celebrity" he wanted to be famous and all of a sudden he can't take the heat?
Perez…leave him the f*ck alone. Haven't you done enough to Lance Bass? As usual you twist everything around, seeing as Lance grew up in NSYNC where everything they said was scripted, I am quite certain he was misquoted - and I will believe that until the magazine ponies up that tape and I hear it differently.
another angry has been/never was…..
How is he calling himself a New Yorker when he's been here only like a week? He's a total idiot and a has-been.
Sorry, Lance, but you cannot just move to New York and automatically become a New Yorker. It takes YEARS of sweating on the subway, tripping on the sidewalk, getting hit by cars, yelling at stupid selfish people on the streets and getting called an asshole by nearly every other New Yorker until you can become a "Proud New Yorker." Wake up ASSHOLE! Now you're on your way….
Oh Perez, stop the hate. you're just jealous!!!
why don't you comment on the castro story? You are looking like a fool. Did Raul send his monkey squad for you orwhat? Sheesh! Stop hiding and stop hiding the posts about your repeated statement that he is dead. What happened in Miami. You are being so chickenshit!
what are you obsessed with this dude? nobody cares.Just so you know.
another has been never was angry out of the closet little man…..
The New Yorker was clearly lying. the article published was a case of a reproter putting an interview in her own words. i read the article and they did take his words and turn them around.
(1) We stand by the interview; Bass was not misquoted.Yes New Yorker did misquote him.
(2) Bass is not quoted as saying New Yorkers have no style — it’s clear that he’s referring to the apartments he looked at. Yes, The New Yorker did imply that he was saying that about New Yorker's read the bitches article.
I am not a fan of Lance but come on New Yorker admit that you lied and skewed the truth to get a juicy interview.
holy shit way to be new york mag!
Seriously get over him
That Bitch is NO New Yorker!
princess fat fuck face?
Why are some people able to post 8 miles of spam, but I keep getting cut off???!! LOL!
Yeah, Perez rocks. When the truth isn't being told!!! (or, at least, her version of it…)
you're a douche - no one cares - shut up and quit digging yourself into a hole like ms. teen usa (south carolina). bye.
your not a fucking new yorker, idiot.
Ummm, Perez, please don't speak on behalf of New York City.
Maybe he just can't read?! He admitted that he never went to college.
#57:FIRST OFF, IT IS NOT THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE BUT NEW YORK MAG AND SECOND LANCE BASS IS A LIAR AND NY MAG DOES NEED TO ADD ANYTHING TO MAKE THEIR PIECE JUCIER. HIS WORDS "SUGGESTED" THAT NEW YORK HAS NO STYLE AND THAT HE HATES NEW YORK CITY. HE GOT CAUGHT LYING AND HE NEEDS TO DEAL WITH IT. WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proud New Yorker? Oh, please. Don't insult those of us who have endured years of waiting in half-hour long grocery check-out lines, being packed like sardines on the subway, and living in crappy apartments.
so you hate new york? who cares? I hate that place too…and LA to be honest. Celebrities think there's only 3 places - NYC, LA and everywhere else. You are all a bunch of trendy shitheads. If the "hip" place to be, as told by your dumb publicists, was Moline, Iowa…that's where you'd all be. No one gives a shit where you live, eat or sleep has-been.
he just needs to shut up now.
This guys all washed up and desperate for attention. New York has more style than Lance will ever know.
****
LANCE WINS ANOTHER ROUND!
AND NY Mag bites it once again.. they are just buryibg themselves.
I had zero interest in this until I saw how very well he was able to defend himself against an out of control media. Hooray the power of the Internet - this time anyway - he was able to defend himself. With great class, too, I must add.
how incredibly offensive to new yorkers lance.
Fidel WWWWWHHHHHOOOOOO????!!!!! (Or, is it "WHOOOOOOOOOM" )
HAHAHAHAHA!
This should be a smaaack to the NY producers who decided to put a D-Lister on Broadway rather than a ligitimate musical theatre actor. He's the worst dancer in a boy band but he's good enough for Broadway??????
Broadway - hire real talent and get off the D List. This has been your karma speaking.
Can some real NY talent chime in here?????????
Gogo Perez starting a catfight!
But I must say New York mag is kinda bullshit. They saw the angle they wanted and ran with it, and they absolutely took his statements out of proper context for the effect they were going for. But hey, that's journalism!
I mean come on. "(2) Bass is not quoted as saying New Yorkers have no style — it’s clear that he’s referring to the apartments he looked at."
The quote they printed: "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. "
…
new york is style.
Lance Bass works and lives in New York. Why can Lance Bass not claim to be a New Yorker? Hillary Clinton never worked or lived in New York before she became the senator for New York.
Look, I'm not even a fan of Lance Bass. But seriously…the quotes I read did indeed imply that he was saying the Upper East Side was a bit too college for him and that New Yorkers have no style.
.
To that, I say that those implications are unfair, and that includes when they are set against New York Magazine's own defensive points. Nothing they've said addresses those misunderstandings at all. And meanwhile, Lance Bass did mention becoming bi-coastal in another interview prior to this. So a) maybe he got the interviews mixed up and b) no matter, the fact that he said that at all — to anyone — still shows he doesn't hate New York.
.
So my vote goes to Lance not making the best word choices, and New York Magazine and those who covered the article running with as much drama as they could muster.
.
Meanwhile, who really cares if he likes New York or not? You don't have to like the city you happen to be working in temporarily to justify accepting the gig in the first place. Lots of entertainers perform on stages in cities they don't like. All that matters is that they give you your money's worth when the curtain goes up!
Ok People, listen, I just read the article on the new issue of the NEW YORK MAGAZINE, Lance sounds like an ASS and says that because of NYers he became rude and shit like that. He does not like NY and thinks we don't have style…. WELL! he shops at places like EXPRESS (H&M would be better) …. and all is wearing is fitted jeans (’cause his ass is big) and long draped curtains as shirts (he reminds me of Dorothy from the Golden Girls).
He's just rude and thinks he's the shit. Honey, learn to be humble and to say 'I'm sorry' once in a while.
to LISA ** : you must be Lance's manager writing in defense of her little girl. Say it, Say it!
Leave Lance Bass alone!! He's NOT a liar!!
who cares?? Why must you make a federal case out of every freakin little thing? So you don't like him. We get it. But you did what looks like hours of research to try and argue floral couches. This is why you have zero credibility. You shoot your mouth of all the time and you don't even have the balls to own up to it (castro anyone). You guys aren't that different after all
#73 LMFAO !!!!!!! How did he defend himself ?? He actually said everything that was in the article, you are precious !!!!!! LMFAO
Love the Jeff Gordon-esque sunglasses in your pic, Frosty.
I couldn't give a shit WHAT you were talking about. I'm a Kentuckian, baby…I've seen folks here with more style than you.
Wow. That's what I call BREAKING NEWS!!! Somebody call Katie Couric, quick. All you people calling him an asshole are idiots. Just goes to show how some "Dumb Fucks" believe everything they read, and make negative comments about people they dont even know. Get a life losers!!!
What's so much attention over Lance Bass about? I see nothing wrong with what he said in his interview, and the back and forth "he said she said" is so elementary. Lance you're cool, New York you're great, can we move on to better topics
he should just keep his mouth shut already. he should also be happy that someone actually wants to talk about him. hes a retard. hes a bad singer, dancer, actor, and person. ughhhhh.
doesn't anybody notice the most infuriating part of all of this?
how does someone with no style have an opinion on what's stylish?
vintage couches are in, idiot.
lance, why don't you move to suburbia.
WHO CARES?!!
Does it upset any other REAL New Yorkers that he signed that letter "Proud New Yorker"? For those of us who really live in and love this city that's just a slap in the face. He doesn't know jack about being a real New Yorker.
Seeing as Lance is the only one keeping his story straight, and the magazine can't, I'd say that Lance is was not the lier, but rather the magazine made a mistake and now don't want to own up to it. I mean come on Perez, you've met Lance, is he the sort of person to say something like that? He may think it, but he'd never say it.
To that Fool who said everyone is moving to Florida.
Actually, if you look at statistics MANY MANY Floridians are moving to NYC, especially young ones. Check the census. Bitch.
And the reason the ones move to FL is because it's much cheaper. Duh.
First Off,I am a native New yorker.Bass needs to shut the fuck up and go back to calli!There are like 3 million apts.In the city.If He can't find an apt.
thats good enough,he needs to pull his Head outta his ass,and wipe the shit outta his eyes!Also,Justin IS A STAR! He CAN Dance,SING,And Is way Hotter than princess Frosty cock! This bastard needs a Reality Check!
Dear Lance,
You've been here what, a month? You are NOT a New Yorker.
LANCE BASS IS NOT A NEW Y0RKER IF HE HAS LIVED THERE FOR A SHORT TIME…..WHY DOES EVERY TOURIST WHO VISITS THE CITY THINK THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO CALL THEMSELVES A NEW YORKER. GO BACK HOME.
It sounds like they're both telling the truth… the article's just conveniently slanting things in the direction they want them to go by "quoting" things of context. I hate the media and journalists now. They all have failed us by letting this administration do whatever they want without check. I don't trust a damn thing they say or write anymore. It's all about money and spin my friends.
Lance bASS & Andy DICK need to hook up. They're meant for each other.
Speaking of liars… I missed that CNN special report on Fidel's death the other night Perez.
#30, OMG!! LMAO!! Brilliant.
Lance is a tard.
