Lance Bass Joins Dancing With The Stars

Pop star and, uh, astronaut, Lance Bass will dance hand in hand with Lacey Schwimmer (the 2006 U.S. Youth Latin Champ and 2007 World Swing Dance Champ) in this season of Dancing With The Stars.

Since his 50 million record *NSYNC days, Lance has definitely skyrocketed himself in the news—several times. First, there was his attempt at going up into space, but fell head first when it came to paying for the trip. He was certified by both the Russian Space Program and NASA for a mission aboard a Soyuz capsule, you know. Then, in 2006 he came out amid (true) rumors of a relationship with stud Reichen Lehmkuhl. And Bass became the center of more recent gossip when it was leaked that his new man, trainer Sebastian Leal, has a wife. But, regardless of Lance's up and down stunts, he'll have a chance to redeem himself and show us his moves on season seven of Dancing With The Stars. It's been a while since we've seen him move with the boys from *NSYNC. Does he still have it?

The new season of DWTS premieres on September 22nd.
