Singer Lance Bass is getting hitched
and 'NSYNC band mate Justin Timberlake will serve as best man,
declared the National Enquirer this week. Problem is Bass has
already denied he's in a relationship with Lorenzo Martone, designer
Marc Jacobs' on-again off-again boyfriend.
The 32-year-old Bass came out gay in a
2006 cover story for PEOPLE magazine.
According to the National Enquirer,
Bass and Martone are set to marry this summer in New York and Bass
has “locked his dear friend Justin” into the wedding.
“Not only did Justin enthusiastically
agree [to be best man], but he also offered to be the godfather to
the baby Lance and Lorenzo want to adopt,” the tabloid quoted an
unnamed source.
The
story can be traced back to a June 24 PEOPLE piece the singer has
already denied.
“A while back, Lance Bass told PEOPLE
that he surprised his guy, Lorenzo Martone, with a plane ticket to
the island paradise in the Mediterranean [Ibiza].”
“Fast-forward to summer 2011, and
Bass's swoon-worthy antics are in full force, making him the best
boyfriend this side of the equator.”
In a tweet to his more than 120,000
followers, Bass denied ever romancing Martone.
“Dont know where they got that
nonsense – I am a hopeless romantic, but never took a Lorenzo to
Ibiza nor was he a boyfriend,” he messaged.
