Lance Bass Reveals "Pedophile" Molested N SYNC Members

Lance Bass appeared on Meredith Viera’s talk show today and revealed that he and other members of ‘N SYNC were inappropriately touched by an older man when they were still in their teens.

The panel was discussing Ashley Judd’s claim that she was sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein when Bass opened up and revealed that he’d suffered similar abuse:

Lance Bass Opens Up About Sexual Harassment

“This also happens to men, too,” he said. “It has happened to me. When I was 16, 17 years old, and we started, there was someone that we worked with that was inappropriately touching us.

“I was even aware then, at 16, that this guy was a pedophile. He was touching me oddly.”

Bass added that he and the other members of the band  – which included pop mega-star Justin Timberlake – would cope with the harassment by talking about the incidents of abuse with one another.

“With the guys we would kind of talk about it, joke about, but it’s not a joking thing…I’m glad that we were aware of it and we didn’t feel victimized at the time,” Bass said.

Many in the media have speculated that the man responsible for the abuse is disgraced ‘N SYNC manager Lou Pearlman.

Though Bass didn’t mention Pearlman by name today, the 61-year-old boy band impresario has been accused of child molestation in the past. 

Pearlman is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence on unrelated charges.

Kanye West: So Proud to Know Caitlyn Jenner!

Kanye West says a lot of crazy stuff (see bottom of this post).

But if you take away some of the ramblings… and some of the comparisons to God… and talk of running for President in 2020… the rapper also says some pretty awesome stuff.

Case in point: Kanye’s reaction to Caitlyn Jenner becoming, well, Caitlyn Jenner.

If you’ll recall, Kim Kardashian has credited her husband with opening up her eyes when it comes to her step-father; with helping her accept Caitlyn for the woman she wants to be.

And now we have this:

Kanye recently sat down for an extensive interview with SHOW studio’s “In Camera” series. When asked how he felt about Jenner’s gender transition, West responded:

“I just feel so proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come…I feel proud… that I can be next to a wave of ‘this is who I am.’ And that is all I’m about.”

West went on to illustrate his point of view by presenting a traffic analogy, theorizing that too many people are stuck in the gridlock of public opinion.

“To let your life be controlled by public opinion would be like asking to sit in traffic for the rest of your life,” he said.

“Meaning, you want to turn this way, but there’s a car right here that says this… That’s public opinion….And Bruce just got off [at] the exit sign and drove as fast as he wanted.”

We hesitate to say this, but did Kanye West just make perfect sense?!?

Don’t worry. We’ve collected the following series of quotes that prove this was the exception that proves the hilarious rule…

Youth Football Team Simply Must "Whip" in Middle of Game

We don"t mean to be hyperbolic, but this may be the greatest video ever posted to the Internet.

It features the Milford Mighty Mites, a team comprised of very young football players who were recently scrimmaging at halftime of a varsity high school game.

That is, until Silento"s hit song "Watch Me Whip" came over the loud speakers and various Mighty Mites just couldn"t help themselves.

They stopped in their tracks, they ignored the action around them and they just started doing the now-iconic dance.

It really may be the funniest thing we"ve ever witnessed on the World Wide Web and it"s officially our favorite version ever of this dance… no offense to this totally awesome mother and daughter.

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford Welcome First Child!

E! News reported moments ago that Carey Mulligan and Mumford and Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford have welcomed their first child!

Mulligan and Mumford married in 2012. They were childhood pen pals who lost touch with one another but reconnected as adults. 

The actress managed to keep her baby bump under wraps for the first half of pregnancy, and the couple didn’t reveal that Mulligan was pregnant until June of this year.

There’s no word yet on the child’s gender or name, but considering the quirky couple is basically a walking Wes Anderson movie, you can bet Baby Mumford’s moniker will be off the beaten path. Our money’s on Thadeus.

“Carey has given birth to a healthy and happy baby,” reads a statement from Carey’s reps. “She is just enjoying this time with her family and close friends.”

The couple is so intensely private that the press didn’t even realize that Mulligan had given birth until she made a red carpet appearance to promote her new film Suffragette last night.

Clearly, Carey isn’t planning on taking much time off from work.

Then again, who knows with these two? They might both step away from the spotlight to open a family-run boutique that only sells tea cozies. Mulligan and Mumford would be a perfect name.
