Lance Bass Confesses To Wearing High Heels …
Lance Bass has confessed to People magazine that he has taken to wearing high heeled shoes to prepare his feet for the pain that will come from his participation in the new season of Dancing with the Stars. As if that confession wasn’t a bit embarrassing enough, homie was snapped wearing butterfly wings at a cocktail event hosted by the Lollipop Theater Guild Network (which is an organization that brings current movies to hospitalized children) in Beverly Hills, CA Tuesday night:
It’s a far cry from his sneaker wearing, hip-hop dancing days with ‘N Sync. “I’m wearing heels!” Dancing with the Stars contestant Lance Bass told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Lollipop Theatre Networks cocktail party. “It’s not that fun. My feet are swollen sausages every day!” And the pain doesn’t end there: At 29, Bass is also feeling his age after four weeks of countless hours spent preparing for Monday night’s highly anticipated Dancing with the Stars season 7 premiere (8 p.m. ET on ABC). “It doesn’t feel the same at all,” Bass said, who is partnered with a new ballroom pro, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. “The first thing you notice is your knees, then your lower back goes out, your arms start hurting–and the feet!” While Bass is already considered an early favorite, he’s got his eyes focused on his competition. “Maurice Green and even Warren Sapp and Misty May– those athletes can do anything,” he said. But so can he, according to former ‘N Sync member and Dancing alum Joey Fatone. “He said I got it,” recalled Bass. “I was used to the hard work with ‘N Sync.” And despite being “excited, scared, and nervous,” he’s ready for Monday night’s two-dance premiere: “I have the cha cha and my quick step ready to go!”
You know, it takes a brave man to publicly admit that he not only wears high heeled shoes but also has no problem donning butterfly wings for a worthy, charitable cause. OK, so mebbe Lance’s desire to wear butterfly wings isn’t wholly a charitable endeavor (mebbe, he just likes them) but his support of the Lollipop Guild Network whatever is a good thing and that’s all that matters. Kudos to Lance for continuing to support these sorts of charitable organizations. It’s the least he can do for his part in unleashing the boy band craze upon our unsuspecting heads back in the late 90’s ;)

I love Trent’s use of lyrics from Mariah Carey’s seminal song “Butterfly” as the caption for the pics. Fly abandonely into the sun…..

I liked Lance Bass alot better BEFORE he came out of the closet. He’s way to gay now.

What does “he’s way to gay now” mean? Please explain.

Its like everything he does screams “HEY EVERYONE, I’m GAY!!!” You can be gay and not have to scream it to the world!

I have to say, I’m a bit insulted by your inference that “everything he does” (ie. the butterfly wings, the shoes) is “gay” in your eyes.

Geesh, don’t get all offended…I have no problem with anyone/anything that is gay, it just seems like Lance Bass is over the top. I’m surprised he didn’t admit to wearing his Mom’s dresses to get ready for the competition…you know, just so he would have an idea of what his partner would be dancing in!
Don’t get all worked up about this….it’s not even the “gayness” or whatever… it’s more Lance Bass being extremely…strange!
