Lance Bass: New Yorkers Have No Style

NEW YORK CITY, NY  --  Lance Bass is staying in New York for a few months to star as Corny Collins in Hairspray but according to an article in New York Magazine it doesn't seem like the gay boy-bander is enjoying the experience so much.

Bass didn't like the fact that it took him three weeks, and three brokers, to find an apartment. "There's a lot of pieces of crap here for a lot of money," he says. "And I don't think anyone here has any style. I was looking at fully furnished places and it was like, you can either have a bunch of floral prints or some dusty couch from the 1960s."

But he says he's adapting to life in The Big Apple. "My walking pace has picked up a lot," he says. "And apparently I'm ruder. I read that someone met me at a club and told me I looked great and I was like, 'Don't even think about taking a picture.' Which really sounds like me. And then they printed a picture they'd taken of me, which makes even less sense."

He's not hanging out at fellow 'N Sync alum Justin Timberlake's barbecue joint. "I've been a few times," he says. "But it's really up there. The Upper East Side? I'm not in college anymore."

And, after coming out of the closet not so long ago, he has another startling admission to make: "I was the worst dancer in the band. I kind of hate to dance."
