WHAT DID YOU
HAVE FOR
BREAKFAST THIS
MORNING?
RoastedTurkey&Avocado
TartinefromLePainQuotidienWHO’S MADE YOU
MOST STARSTRUCK?
Michelle Pfeiffer.WHAT’S YOUR
GUILTY PLEASURE?
Pretty Little Liars.Ihad
to watch every episode!BIGGEST CELEBRITY
CRUSH?
In my fake, straight life,
Staci Keanan...but really
it’s Henry Cavill.BIGGEST SPLURGE
PURCHASE EVER?
At an Elton John fundraising dinner, they
were auctioning off an Aston Martin.
IthoughtIwould
start off the
bidding
process at
$250,000. No
one else bid!What shows do you watch?
LB:All the Real Housewives shows.You’re friends with Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills’ Lisa Vanderpump.
Does she give you the inside dirt?
LB: Oh yeah, she tells all. I could
write a whole book!That’s not a bad idea — but fans
would probably rather see an
’NSync reunion!
LB: There’s just no way. We left
everyone wanting more, which is
nice. There’s something to be said
for going out on top! ċSounds like you’re feeling the itch
to become a dad...
LB: Of course! We defi nitely want to
be parents, and hopefully one day
that will happen. Michael will be the
best dad.Some of your former ’NSync
bandmates have started or
are starting families. Are you
Uncle Lance?
LB: Oh yeah! Joey [Fatone]’s daugh-
ter is my goddaughter, so we’re
hooked for life, and Justin [Timber-
lake] is an amazing dad.So you’re all still tight?
LB: We’re like 13-year-olds. We’re
in a big text group. We talk daily and
give each other s---, which is always
really fun.Any plans to reunite as a group, like
the Backstreet Boys and New Kids
on the Block?
LB: Nope! It’s not going to happen.
We were all just teenagers.So were the Backstreet Boys!
LB: I know, but they didn’t
have Justin [laughs]. He
went on to do his thing
and because of that,
there’s just no way ’NSync
is ever getting back to-
gether. Having such tal-
ent in the group was a
blessing and a curse!You’ve stayed in the
spotlight with your
hosting gigs, which is
sort of funny because
you always seemed like
the shy one in the group.
LB: I was, because I didn’t
want anyone to know I
was gay [laughs]. I always
thought people would
fi gure it out, so I didn’t
want to speak.Now you’re really
involved in reality TV.The ’NSync alum
and television host
reveals he’s got
babies on the brain
