'N Sync's Lance a Real Space Cadet
Lance Bass, my favorite member of
'N Sync, is getting ready to be a spaceman. (Maybe someone should turn him on to the famous
Harry Nilsson song.)
Lance is in New York this week, and when I saw him last night at the premiere of
The Sweetest Thing, he talked to me about his plans to fly into outer space this fall with Russia. As has been reported widely, Lance visited the Russian space program and volunteered to be the youngest non-pro to go up, up and away. Russia has accepted his offer. Their next flight is on Nov. 4.
"I've passed all the physical tests," Lance told me. "I did everything they needed, they took all the blood and now we go into heavy training."
The project will not go undocumented. Lance says he's negotiating with a major network to help him produce a film about his experiences. The deal should be done shortly.
So how will this all work? For one thing, Lance has to learn Russian. "I'm going up with a Russian and a Belgian," he said. "Right now I'm working with translators, but up there I'll have to be able to speak Russian."
No, he's not kidding. He's already taking intensive Russian lessons.

"It was always my dream to be an astronaut, and now I'm going to do it," he said. He is earnest, and completely invested emotionally in this project. This is not a publicity stunt.
How this will affect 'N Sync's next tour and album is unclear, but since
Justin Timberlake is cutting a solo album, Lance will have some time to himself. And what of Justin and
Britney Spears, and their famous breakup, I asked Lance?
"She came on the road with us right after the Grammy's and they were bickering all the time. They're still bickering," Lance said, "and they're not completely broken up."
No word on whether or not Britney's ignorance of
Yoko Ono or
Linda McCartney had anything to do with it.
I did like a pair of young women from Britney's extended posse whom I was introduced to last night. When I asked them who actually sang Britney's songs onstage, one of them wittily replied: "She's a performer, OK? It's a different thing."
See what you can learn?
