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 …

Okay … is it time to declare that Lance Bass has officially become the hottest member of *NSync? Now that we’re hearing buzz that the boy band may reunite sometime in the future, I think it’s time the other guys take note … Lance is a hotness to be reckoned with.

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 …

Well, this is a side of Lance Bass that I wouldn’t mind seeing more of. Of all the former members of *NSync who could emerge as a sexy symbol, who’d have thunk that Lance would be the mancandy? So … what do y’all think … is Lance a hottie or a nottie?

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 …

Britney posted a tweet on her official Twitter profile mentioning that her BFF Lance Bass showed up to be part of her show, she wrote:

My good friend Lance surprised me on stage last night for Breathe On Me. It was soo funny! Good to see you Lance! -Brit

LOL!! How fun!! Well … at least now that the US portion of the tour is over, Britney can relax for a while. She’s not due to take the tour to Oz until November. I think we should all send a hearty congrats to our dear Britney for successfully working her way thru a very entertaining tour. Well done, Britney!!

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:

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?

Believe me, I know that Lance deffo prefers the company of dudes (the less dressed the better) but it’s nice of him to spread his wealth around to the fairer sex as well. Homeboy is quite the charmer … boys, girls — everyone loves Lance!

HMMM … there is an awful lot of information available on Gustavo’s Adam4Adam profile … I can see one, two or 8″ things on the profile that might’ve caught Lance’s eye … and the profile pic ain’t too shabby either. In the end, tho, it really doesn’t matter where or how Lance finds the new friends he likes to make. He tends to have pretty amazing taste in male friends and I can’t blame the man for going for the gold any chance he gets. Hopefully we’ll get to see more pics of Lance with Gustavo soon … anytime party pics of Lance Bass come out, you know it’s gonna be a good time. What do y’all think of Mr. Marzolla … is he a good match for our dear Lance?
