Lance Bass recalls how he came out as gay to his 'N Sync band members, and Joey Fatone "walking in" on him with his then-boyfriend by surprise Surprise!. Joey Fatone and Lance Bass brought their stunning athleticism to Battle of the Network Stars, and the two NSYNC stars recalled the awkward moment that Fatone found out Bass was gay.

While folks still say Joey Fatone

“Joey walked in on me with the guy I was dating just kind of sitting on my lap,” Bass revealed to ‘’Access. Joseph Anthony Fatone Jr. (born January 28, ) [1] is an American singer, dancer, actor, and television host. He is best known as a member of the boy band NSYNC, in which he sang baritone. Joey Fatone isn't mad Justin Timberlake said, "Bye bye bye. But while that career pivot meant that the group's time together came to an end, the Joey isn't tearin' up his heart over the decades-old drama.

And though Justin did not in fact return to the group after the release of his first solo album Justified in , Joey knows it wasn't Justin's fault he stayed gone. If it was him, then I'd understand it. When you're younger, you think it's that person. I started doing Dancing with the Stars. I started hosting TV shows and doing my own thing, and that was what led me.

And Joey has no regrets, adding, "That's the beautiful part about it: My career and my life led me somewhere else, and I'm good and I'm happy with it. Now, the group members' careers have led them back into the studio for the release of "Better Place," which was recorded for Trolls Band Together — which fittingly focuses on a former boy band.

A significance that is not lost on Joey. I think the message, the meaning, everything just all around, came to him. After Chris Kirkpatrick , 23 at the time, was passed over for the Backstreet Boys —the first instance of shady impresario Lou Pearlman capturing boy band lightning in a bottle—he dusted himself off and told Pearlman he was still interested in being in a group.

Pearlman agreed to put up the money if Kirkpatrick would do the work of actually finding other talented guys to join him, and so the sifting through demos and watching countless hours of tapes began. They continued the search in Orlando, and Kirkpatrick thought of Joey Fatone , 18, who he knew from his days performing at Universal Studios—and who Chasez knew from his time living in Florida when he was working for Disney.

But they still needed a deeper voice. Timberlake's vocal coach advised them to check out this kid from Mississippi, Lance Bass , who flew down to Florida on Oct. Pearlman and Timberlake picked the appropriately named year-old up at the airport in the former's black Rolls Royce. Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough , who knew Kirkpatrick way back when, gave himself a little pat on the back later on for all this serendipity, telling Pop Crush in that BSB asked Pearlman "to help [Chris] out in any way that he could and still fulfill his dream.

He went back with Chris and formed a group and little by little that spun off to eventually be 'N Sync. That role was originally played by Jason Galasso , who had known Fatone from choir in their high school days and was dabbling in the singing-group arts when he got a page s, FTW out of nowhere from his old acquaintance. After they "locked in perfectly" on a rendition of Boyz II Men 's "End of the Road," that was it, he was in the as-yet unnamed group.

At the same time, however, the bass singer was also in a three-man group called Unreal, "so I'm still trying to decide, you know, what I want to do, what direction I want to go in as far as which group I want to go with," Galasso, who's in the mortgage loan business these days, recalled. That's my love, my heart, my soul.

So when Pearlman came over with "this European-style techno, I was just like, 'Hmm, okay. Meanwhile, 'N Sync was starting to fashion a look and they were talking about putting a showcase together for Disney's Pleasure Island. They even took a field trip to Shaquille O'Neal 's house to check out his home studio in Orlando, but they had not yet recorded any music. And, more consequentially for Galasso, they hadn't yet signed any contracts.

Pretty soon, both groups were trying to get him to sign. Galasso said he took the dueling contracts to a lawyer and, while the deal with the trio was pretty standard issue, Pearlman had himself written into the 'N Sync contract as a sixth member, and that contract was "thick as a phone book. Oh, wait The guys asked Lance if he wouldn't mind tweaking his name a bit to make the whole 'N Sync thing still work. And so, Lanceton was born.

It didn't stick very long.
