N SYNC - BASS AND BOYFRIEND COME OUT FOR 'N SYNC STAR'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

'N SYNC star LANCE BASS went public with his gay romance at former bandmate JC CHASEZ's 30th birthday party last weekend (06AUG06). The BYE BYE BYE singer went public about his homosexuality last month (JUL06) after months of tabloid and internet speculation about his relationship with REICHEN LEHMKUHL. He joined his lover, Chasez and fellow former 'N Sync stars JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and CHRIS KIRKPATRICK at the birthday bash, which was held in West Hollywood club Rox on Sunday. Timberlake's girlfriend CAMERON DIAZ and THE OC lovebirds ADAM BRODY and RACHEL BILSON were also among the special guests wishing Chasez a happy birthday.
