So, I'm not necessarily into the whole celebrity worship thing that's going on today in society. However, that doesn't mean I can't actively appreciate the madness of it. On Yahoo! news, the headline below read:
Reichen and Lance Bass reportedly split

NEW YORK - Lance Bass and his boyfriend, Reichen Lehmkuhl, have called it quits, People magazine reported on its Web site Monday.

Bass, who was part of the boy band 'N Sync, revealed earlier this year that he is gay and was in a relationship with Lehmkuhl, a former Air Force captain and winner of season four of CBS' "Amazing Race."
The 27-year-old singer told People in July that he didn't disclose his sexuality earlier because he didn't want to affect 'N Sync's popularity.
"The thing is, I'm not ashamed — that's the one thing I want to say," Bass told the magazine. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life."
The AP was attempting Monday to locate representatives for Bass and Lehmkuhl. Bass had been represented by publicist Ken Sunshine when he made his announcement in July that he is gay, but a representative of the firm said it no longer represents the singer.
'N Sync, known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me," went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also made headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space.
Lehmkuhl, 32, has said he admired Bass' decision to disclose his sexuality. Lehmkuhl has a new book, "Here's What We'll Say," which recounts his time keeping his sexual orientation a secret from Air Force colleagues.
