I dunno … something about how happy and smiley these two look in this photo really warms the cockles of my heart. I believe the pals have been friends for a while but we don’t ever get to see them hanging out together. They look like a great pair of friends … I hope we get to see more of them together soon.
This shoot was done by photographer Braden Summers and I’m happy to discover that there is more from this shoot to enjoy. After the jump, check out 3 more photos from this photoshoot and see how well “serious” looks on Lance Bass …
Celebrity make-up artist Chris Lanston is featuring a photo on his official website of former *NSync boybander Lance Bass in an interesting photograph that showcases him as a sexy-lookin’ fighter. In the pic, a stern Bass is massaging his hand as his sparring partner is crumpled up against the ropes in the far corner … it’s kinda hawt, y’all:
I understand the photographer is Braden Summers but it’s unclear what the photo was shot for … nonetheless, it’s a photo deffo worth seeing up close. After the jump, check out a larger size photo of just Lance and his shirtless seriousness …
Britney Spears ended the second leg of her North American tour, The Circus starring Britney Spears, at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV last night and by all accounts the entire tour (which took her to Europe earlier this year and will take her to Australia later this year) has been a smashing success. Before Brit Brit took to the state for one last time (here in the US), she loaded up her men (sons – Sean Preson and Jayden James, father – Jamie Spears and rumored paramour and agent – Jason Trawick) and made her way to the Sugar Factory boutique to load up on candy for her kiddies … here are a few pics:
Aww … such a cute family. I’m not sure if I totally believe the rumors that Jason and Britney aren’t together together … but I still contend they make a very nice family when they are all together. But, after the shopping excursion … it was time to get to work. After the jump, check out photos from Britney’s final performance of The Circus starring Britney Spears in Las Vegas …
It would seem that former boybander Lance Bass has snagged himself a new man or, at the very least, a very protective new friend. Lance and said individual were making their way out of Bijou’s nightclub in London, England this week when they were approached by a photog hoping to snap a few pictures … but it was Lance’s new boy who snapped, trying to open an can of whoop ass on the paparazzo:
Lest you think a man wearing a scarf and a far too-unbuttoned silk lavender shirt would pose no real threat, think again. I’m pretty sure there are muscles underneath all that carefully coiffed fluff. If Lance hadn’t restrained his friend and dragged him away from the fray, well, I shudder to think what might’ve happened. Looks like Lance has got himself a spitfire there … I hate to think what might happen if when Lance decides to dump him.
After months of legal wrangling, the California Supreme Court announced on Tuesday to uphold a ban on same-sex marriages. Justices voted 6-1 to uphold Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban of gay marriage, dealing a major legal blow to the gay and lesbian community. California residents passed Prop 8 with 52 percent of the vote last November. The court also ruled that the roughly 18,000 marriages that took place before Prop 8 took effect are still valid. “It would be a shocking, strange thing in California law to essentially divorce those couples against their will,” said Jennifer Pizer, a lawyer from Lambda Legal. The crowd that had gathered outside the Supreme Court in San Francisco was mostly made up of gay rights supporters, and there was a huge outcry when the ruling was released at 10 a.m. After the announcement, the crowd began marching through San Francisco streets chanting, “Shame on you.” Crowds converged in West Hollywood Tuesday at 7 p.m. to oppose the state Supreme Court’s ruling. They marched to the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave., shutting down the intersection. That crowd was estimated to be approximately 5,000 strong. Five states have already legalized gay marriage, and gay marriage supporters had hoped California would be the sixth. The justices said the people do have the right to change their constitution through the ballot box. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger released a statement shortly after the ruling. “While I believe that one day, either the people or courts will recognize gay marriage, as governor of California, I will uphold the decision of the California Supreme Court,” he said. “Regarding the 18,000 marriages that took place prior to Proposition 8’s passage, the court made the right decision in keeping them intact.” The governor encouraged those responding to the decision to do so peacefully and lawfully … In Leimert Park, the ACLU and several faith-based groups held a news conference to respond to the state Supreme Court’s decision. “This is nothing short of apartheid in our own state, that some people were allowed to be married, and others will never have that right,” said Rabbi Denise Eger from Kol Ama Congregation. Local residents Eric Monriquez and Juan Ribera said the announcement was bittersweet for them. While they were happy their marriage would still be recognized by the state, they said they were very disappointed with the ruling. “We’re very sad for other couples,” Ribera said. Gay rights advocates had argued the ballot measure revised the state constitution’s equal protection clause, thus needing the legislature’s approval before it could be put to voters. Six months before Prop 8 passed, the California Supreme Court had ruled in favor of gay marriage, saying that denying gay marriage amounted to state-sanctioned discrimination. Gay rights supporters say the fight is far from over.
Very true, the fight is FAR from over … in fact, it has only just begun. The site RepealProp8.com was launched yesterday in the wake of the court’s ruling that seeks to put the issue back on the ballot for voters to decide again. Because California allows the amendment of the State constitution by a simple voter majority, the issue can go back on the ballot for voters to decide — again. The vote was so close last November that supporters, me included, believe that another vote would be sure to legalize same-sex marriage here in California. If YOU would like info on how you can help the cause, head over to RepealProp8.com. There is still a long road ahead but if we’ve learned nothing from the 5 States that have legalized same-sex marriage in this country, we’ve learned that true marriage equality for all will eventually come — even in places you’d least expect. Much props and love goes out to the celebs who came out to rally last night … including, Kathy Griffin & her mother Maggie, Deborah Gibson, Haylie Duff, Emmy Rossum, Lance Bass, Eliza Dushku and more. Eliza posted photos on her official Twitter page thruout the night. Props, too, to Governor Schwarzenegger for his support as well … here is a short vid clip of his comments to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show last night:
Marriage Equality will happen for all, I just know it … and now the work begins.
It turns out that it’s not just half-nekkid Brazilian men and lovely ladies who love Lance Bass … apparently so does Dirt Nasty himself Simon Rex — who was spotted all up on Lance’s biz in West Hollywood, CA over the weekend as the pair filmed some sort of TV pilot together:
Now, I’m not sure what kind of TV series could do these two guys justice but I’m willing to find out. It looks as if Simon was really trying to get under Lance’s skin, it looks as if he even tried to plant a kiss on Lance in that second pic. Lance doesn’t look too happy about any of this … but they do make a cute couple nonetheless. What kind of show do you think these two guys are cooking up together? Would you watch?
