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

      Screw Lance Bass - even mentioning him on this site is BENEATH the hotness of PEREZ HILTON. He has the charisma of an ice cube and even less talent than that….no member brought less to the table in NSync - he wasn't the talented one, the good looking one, the funny one, the good dancer…or even the least attractive one….he was just kinda there. EASILY FORGETTABLE

      It seems fishy to me that the New Yorker apparently retorted with a statement that is filled with all sorts of mispellings. Yes, Lance is a mega douche…. but your shit stinks on this one, Perez.

      Oh. Lance you Fucktard. He came to my restaurant and ate nothing but Foot Long Hotdogs with soft buns. Than complained that the place is not nearly as good as the country bumfuck places back in Miss. Go back to shitsville you boy band fuck. I bet your parents are proud. Peace out… J.T.

      116

      Perez, You are being such a queen by attacking a person of such non interest.
      And as far as New York Mag, they can go fuck themselves. They are an outdated source of media that got some attention thanks to Lance and you.

      119

      Perez, I'm starting to think you either 1.) have a HUGE crush on Lancey-poo or 2.) Are jealous of him. You are constantly picking on him for no good reason. In fact, you calling him Princess Frostylocks sounds very much like a homophobic statement to me despite the fact that you claim to be gay as a songbird yourself. Oh, and before you criticize Lance's hair you should really try a new colorist yourself and a nice shave.

      Lance did NOT get owned by the magazine, Perez. YOU did! They specifically said YOUR site is the one that got the facts wrong. Lance's only mistake is letting himself be dragged through the mud by you on a daily basis and feeding into that instead of just ignoring you. The rest of their mag's retort was actually quite immature and snotty coming from a non-tabloid.

      There are nice gays such as Perez and Anderson Copper (unofficially ofcourse) and then there are nasty stupid fags like this Lance dude.

      121

      This guy has become such an arrogant A HOLE recently ! Or maybe he always was and I just never paid any attention to him before. It just seems to me that since he "came out" he has had a chip on his shoulder. It's like he is always looking for a reason to "whine" about something. He needs to just shut the heck up and enjoy his newfound gaydom!

      122

      You know, I'm really, really glad that Mario broke this story. It pisses me off that this jerk for years tried to disguise the fact that he's gay and then when he comes out, is completely obnoxious to the people (gays and adolescent girls) that he owes his success to. He IS a liar, and the worst of all, a BACKSTABBING liar.

      Sorry Perez but New York magazine is no doubt the one lying. Anyone who can read should know by now no matter how reputable the magazines or newspapers claim to be they are forever misquoting and taking out of context or just printing out and out lies. I believe Lance. Look at all the lies you print.

      Lance has turned into a fucking prick! I am friends with him from L.A., and ever since he came out, we ALL have noticed a change…he loves the spotlight, and after Nsync crumbled, he didnt have that…now he has his new "gay" status, and it has made his head so big…
      go see hairspray, and afterwards, watch how quick he runs off, signing only 1 or 2 autographs…with his Tracy turnblad of an assistant in tow…I was there 3 nights ago, and aside from the fact that he kept fucking his lines up (ay off the drugs, Lance…your memory will improve!) he looked like shit…

      He is a fucking prick, and forgot all the people that supported him….not only the gay guys at clubs that he only seems to pose with now…

      FUCK YOU LANCE!

      It's so obvious that this reporter was being a dumb bitch. Lance would never saying such things. He's such a normal, down-to-earth guy that it sickens me to think that you people would actually believe this phoney crap about him, and their is a difference between truth and what someone wants to be true.

      170

      This reporter was being dumb and I would blame him for saying she was. She was obviously not happy that she had to cover the story, and so she took it out on the article. Apperaently journalism intergruity doesn't account for anything these days. And just so you all know Lance would never say such things. He is one of the most down to earth people and it's a shame that you feel the way you do.
