Lance Bass to get a male partner on DWTS

Posted on July 11th, 2008 by Celeb

Former N*Sync member Lance Bass has been tapped to appear on the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Nothing unusual about a former boy bander doing some ballroom dancing — Joey Fatone pulled it off. The unusual part is that Bass, who is now openly gay, might be assigned a male partner. Now I see where ABC is going with this and they are trying to make a statement about equality and everything, but this show is about entertainment. I can see this being a huge controversy as certain markets threaten to pull the show on moral grounds. Plus who would lead and can both partners to lifts and tosses? That just creates an unfair advantage for Lance and his partner. What do you think about Lance having a male partner? Will it be a positive move, create a media circus, take away from the enjoyment of the show or add to it?​

I doubt there is much of an outrage, unless it is mock outrage.

The reason I say this is, it is mostly women that watch it and gay guys.

At least I think they are a huge number of gay guys watching it...that or guys who are forced to watch it with their wives, which is close to being gay as that means she has removed their testicles already.


For the record I'M KIDDING.

Although I have yet to watch one episode of it.

I was thinking the same thing.

I can't imagine that the regular audience of this show will care much about a gay guy on the show.

From what I hear, there's even been a couple of gay guys on "Project Runway." :p:

being gay, and almost doing gay stuff are 2, different things

I mean what if they made out? despite giving bbgun wood, what would happen?

I believe this was leaked for publicity purposes and possibly to just stir things up a bit.

No way they do this. He'll end up with a female dance partner.

Its smart business.

Any homosexuals that never watched will now have some interest.... well some of them will.

Anyone watching the show already is probably more open to it.


I will say, in closing, we need to keep balance... so... lets get some lesbian/bisexual lovers in the mix as well.

;)

It's a dance show featuring colorful outfits and *****y judges. In other words, they were already watching.

Jason Taylor would be a great partner for Lance Bass. I'm sure even Bill Parcells would tune in to see that.

How about Vick? Forget that time in jail as punishment, make him dance with Bass on national tv. And then trade him to San Fran.

According to rumor, Kordell Stewart would probably make a good partner for Lance.

I wonder if a few Catholic priests with some spare time wouldn't mind dancing with Lance.

If they are looking for a male, no one is more manly than Rosie O'Donnell. If she's too fat, take Ellen Degeneres.

Or just let Obama dance with him. I'm sure if Obama thought he could squeeze a few more votes out of it, he'd do it.
