A statement posted on WEHO TIMES' Instagram account @weho_times reveals that *NSYNC singer and entrepreneur Lance Bass is no longer a partner at Heart WeHo. He weighed in on the recent attack of customer Albert Martinez, a hairdresser who was found unconscious outside the club with two skull fractures, bruised lungs, and scratches on his arms and legs. The attack, captured in surveillance video, led to the arrest of a bouncer hired by Heart WeHo via a third-party security company, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

Lance Bass posted the following:

"Wow! This news really weighs on me. I found out about this incident recently, having stepped away from Heart months ago. It's truly disheartening. Violence, in any shape or form, is just unacceptable, and my thoughts go out to Albert, his friends/family, and anyone who had to witness this disturbing altercation.

When I first joined Heart, my mission was clear: to foster a place where people could find safety, have a good time, and were able to truly be themselves. It's incredibly distressing to realize that there are individuals who act without restraint or an ethical compass, posing potential threats to others. It's a stark reminder for us all to remain vigilant and ensure the safety of everyone in our communities. We really need to have each other's backs. My heart hurts for everyone involved."

Pop star Justin Timberlake is investing in an exclusive 18-hole golf course set to open in Music City later this year.

The former *NSYNC lead singer, actor, and avid golfer is collaborating with 8AM Golf to create Bounty Club, a private club spanning 363 acres.

According to Bounty Club's website, the course is set up at a "secluded" location 15 minutes from downtown. The King-Collins designed course will feature a Pfeffer Torode clubhouse.

It will also offer "stunning and unobstructed views of Nashville's iconic skyline from four elevated vantage points, providing a unique and unmatched golfing experience for its highly curated membership."

"I hope I can do the same one day," Joey Fatone thought while watching the Backstreet Boys play one of their first major gigs in the early '90s. The Florida-based boy band were finding their feet in the music industry, while Fatone was yet to discover his own boy band path with *NSYNC.

"I remember seeing them perform at SeaWorld Orlando, way back before Brian [Littrell] joined the group, and I thought, 'Wow, they're going to fulfill their dream. I hope I can do the same,'" recalls Fatone, who would develop lifelong friendships with the band and has just launched a tour with BSB's AJ McLean, despite the groups being touted as rivals throughout the years. McLean was also in the audience at *NSYNC's recent L.A. reunion during Justin Timberlake's show at the Wiltern. "I love that we have this friendship now and wish we had it when we first met because we could've done a lot more together. They're great guys and great entertainers."

Being great entertainers not only helped McLean, Littrell, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and Nick Carter reach dizzying heights of success by the late '90s - and the quintet has weathered the post-pandemonium decades as well, racking up Grammy nominations, sellout tours a major Las Vegas residency and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Now, as they prepare to wrap up their 30th anniversary celebrations with April's 'Backstreet's Back at the Beach' fan vacation at Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico, we chatted to friends, family members, musicians, colleagues and even former flames to uncover behind-the-scenes stories from the group's 30-year run.

Justin Timberlake isn't being selfish with sneak peeks from his upcoming Forget Tomorrow World Tour. As the pop star gears up to hit the road again, he took a moment to share a carousel of photos from his recent rehearsals with followers via Instagram on Wednesday (April 17).

The photos find the "Mirrors" singer standing onstage as his band and crew assemble around him. One snap shows Timberlake looking at a gigantic image of himself blown up on the screen backdropping the stage, while another captures the former boy bander finding his place underneath two conjoining spotlights.

*NSYNC singer Lance Bass says the band could get back together in the future to collaborate on more music. Bass sat down with Access Daily's Kit Hoover and guest co-host Zuri Hall after the band reunited onstage in Los Angeles back in March. This was the first time since 2013 that the group had performed together, which Bass said was bandmate Justin Timberlake's idea. "He wanted us to be a part of the 'Trolls 3' movie, and so we did that song together and it just kind of started the ball rolling of, like, well, you want to record something else?" he explained. When asked if the band might make new music or perform in a show in the future he added, "there's a chance." Also, Bass is partnering up with Allegra Airways. "They came up with this new amazing navigational tool. It's a map. You go to, Airwaysallegra.com, and it maps out your day to avoid those big pollen areas and things you're allergic to." Plus, the singer talked about wanting to see more gay dating shows. He shared his idea for one and said he'd love to host it.

As Lance Bass looks back on coming out as gay in PEOPLE in 2006, he remembers feeling nervous, then relieved.

He also remembers getting a gift basket from Elton John himself.

But before the *NSYNC member received the sweet gift from the "Tiny Dancer" singer, now 77, Bass, now 44, had to decide whether or not to address the speculation about his sexuality that was heating up nearly two decades ago.

"Of course there were rumors, but that was also at a time where social media wasn't so much of a thing and you could actually have more of a private life," Bass says in the new issue of PEOPLE. "No one was taking pictures everywhere you went. So it was kind of easy for me to live this kind of private life."

"I had a boyfriend, my circle of friends knew about me, and I just didn't think [my sexuality] was such a big deal," recalls Bass.

Justin Timberlake's latest single, "Selfish," off his newly launched album, Everything I Thought It Was, has skyrocketed to the number one spot on Hot AC Radio. This achievement marks Timberlake's third chart-topper at the format.

Just last week, "Selfish" secured a position on the Top 10 published U.S. Pop Radio chart by Mediabase, making it Timberlake's 19th solo track to reach the Top 10. The success of "Selfish" underscores Timberlake's enduring influence and popularity in the music industry.

JT is gearing up for his tour, which will rotate through fan streaming providers. It is apparently going to be his most extensive tour ever.

According to Complex, the tour has already brought in over $140 million across the 70 global shows. That's one million Justin Timberlake fans at the shows.

Timberlake has announced the European and UK leg of his highly anticipated The Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will feature thirteen new shows across eight countries, including Poland, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and France.

Joey Fatone and AJ "Alex" McLean are teaming up to bring *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys fans together for their "A Legendary Night" tour.

"Extra's" Carlos Greer spoke with Joey and AJ about that recent surprise *NSYNC reunion performance at Justin Timberlake's L.A. show, which brought out celebs including Travis Kelce.

AJ was able to witness the "special moment," saying, "I was there. The screams were unlike anything decibel-wise. I wish to God I had earplugs in at that moment."

As for being onstage, Joey marveled, "It was like we rose from the dead. It literally was a complete surprise. I mean, nobody really had no clue, which I think was really cool."

He continued, "It opened up, I think, all of our eyes to go, 'Maybe we should do something. The fans are there for us, we can't thank them enough. It's crazy that they've been with us that long."

Lance Bass dropped by the show this week to talk all about the brand new *NSYNC song we're all about to get our hands in when the new Justin Timberlake album comes out on March 15th! That track is called 'Paradise' and will be the second new *NSYNC song they've released in the past year. So be on the look out for that, his new Edward Scissorhands musical and his Halloween themed kids book 'Trick or Treat on Scary Street'! Listen back to the full interview below and be sure to check back here March 15th to hear 'Paradise'!

LISTEN:

*NSYNC hasn't released music on their own in decades. Since Justin Timberlake left the boy band to explore a solo career, the group has been all but defunct-but lately, they've been mounting something of a comeback, thanks to their collaborations with the singer. This week, the entire outfit is back on a Billboard chart, scoring another quick win with their latest release.

As Timberlake's new album Everything I Thought It Was reaches a number of lists, *NSYNC joins the pop superstar on a very special hit. The boy band is back on the Digital Song Sales chart with "Paradise," which appears on that just-released set. The tune is credited as Timberlake featuring the group, so he's technically on the track in two forms.

"Paradise" opens at No. 7 on this week's Digital Song Sales chart. According to Luminate, the track sold 7,803 copies in its first full frame of availability. It earns the third-highest debut of the frame, coming in behind new launches from Cardi B and BTS singer V.

With "Paradise," *NSYNC instantly doubles their total count of hits on the Digital Song Sales chart. Before this week, the band had only collected one hit, and they managed that win in a very similar fashion.

Last year, Timberlake put the band back together for a one-off single. "Better Place" was written and recorded for the latest Trolls film, as Timberlake has handled the music for the series since its inception a decade ago. "Better Place" gave *NSYNC their first hit on the Digital Song Sales chart, which was introduced years after the group split.

"Better Place" peaked at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart in October 2023. Now, the Grammy-nominated vocal group has secured a second top 10 hit. The band's only two placements on the purchase-focused tally have brought them to the loftiest tier on the list, which is an impressive track record.

Justin Timberlake's Everything I Thought It Was era is fully upon us, and the superstar celebrated his freshly released sixth studio album by opening the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on Monday night (April 1).

Starting off sitting on a metal barrel alongside one of his band members, JT delivered a heartwarming performance of his EITIW lead single, "Selfish," playing the acoustic guitar as he sang the romantic lyrics in a stripped-back rendition of the track.

It was then time to kick it up a notch, with the full band stepping into full gear and Timberlake taking center stage to perform the sultry "No Angels" against a wild, wild west background full of cacti, a sunset and saloon props.

Timberlake's "Selfish" debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning Timberlake his highest debut in six years on the tally. EITIW also includes a long-awaited reunion from *NSYNC, called "Paradise," and the full band performed the track onstage at Timberlake's one-night-only concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles last month.

Lance Bass is celebrating Easter in style.

On Sunday the *NSYNC alum, 44, share photos to Instagram from his colorful holiday celebrations with his husband Michael Turchin and their twins, son Alexander James and daughter Violet Betty.

"Hoppy Easter from our fam to yours!!" he wrote.

His post led with a photo of he and Turchin as they sat with their kids on their laps, each posing in colorful "egg hunting squad" pajamas as they looked through their Easter baskets. Turchin, 37, wore a pink hoodie and green sweatpants, while Bass coordinated in pastels (specifically purple sweatpants, a blue sweatshirt and pint hair).

Their baskets were packed with gifts including activities books and candy.

They also got balloons, which both seemed to love. Bass' post included pictures of Alexander James and Violet Betty holding the inflatables, which included characters from Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol.

Justin Timberlake is back on the Billboard charts this week with his new album Everything I Thought It Was. The set arrives on a number of rankings, and while it doesn't reach the same heights as his past projects, the title does help him land on a tally he's never appeared on before.

Everything I Thought It Was is new to the Top Streaming Albums chart, where it launches at No. 18. The title marks the first appearance on the list of the most-streamed full-lengths in the country for Timberlake.

While he may be one of the biggest male pop solo stars in the world, Timberlake spaces his releases out across several years. In between his last effort, 2018's Man of the Woods, and Everything I Thought It Was, Billboard introduced the Top Streaming Albums chart. The former *NSYNC singer is not the only well-known figure who is just now reaching the tally - far from it, in fact. Many famous artists and bands have recently collected their first wins on this relatively new roster.

Everything I Thought It Was scores the third-highest debut of the week on the Top Streaming Albums chart. Kacey Musgraves earns the loftiest entrance, as Deeper Well starts at No. 10. Hip-hop musician BossMan Dlow's Mr. Beat the Road is new at No. 17 on this week's list.
