Lance Bass & Hubby Share Hilarious Twist on Justin Meme






As the flowers bloom and the temperatures rise, so does the anticipation for the annual meme fest known as โ€œItโ€™s Gonna Be May.โ€ This year, none other than *NSYNCโ€™s own Lance Bass and his darling husband, Michael Turchin, have put a deliciously unique spin on this pop culture staple, turning it into a moment of comedic genius and shared joy within the LGBTQ+ community.

On a bright Tuesday evening, Lance Bass, the ever-charming 44-year-old *NSYNC alum, shared a chuckle-worthy Instagram video that not only celebrated the iconic meme but also showcased the coupleโ€™s playful dynamics. The video, which quickly went viral, featured Turchin at the dinner table faced with a bowl of ramen and what he thought was a romantic note from Bass. The suspense built as he read aloud, โ€œMichael, roses are red, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrowโ€ฆโ€ only to be hilariously interrupted by a pan to Bass, who, donning a ramen โ€œwigโ€ mimicking Justin Timberlakeโ€™s infamous curls, cheekily lip-synced โ€œItโ€™s gonna be May.โ€

This twist on Timberlakeโ€™s own playful acknowledgment of the memeโ€™s longevityโ€”which he recently referenced in a TikTok videoโ€”adds another layer of humor and connection for the fans. Justin, at 43, continues to embrace the fun, showing that some jokes just get better with age.

Lance and Michaelโ€™s creative take on this beloved meme not only speaks volumes about their relationship but also highlights their active participation in the digital and cultural dialogues that resonate within the gay community. Itโ€™s a brilliant reflection of how humor can be a loving nod to pop culture history while bringing a couple closer together in public eye.

*NSYNCโ€™s โ€œItโ€™s Gonna Be Meโ€ has been a recurring springtime anthem since its release in 2000, thanks in no small part to Max Martinโ€™s production choices, which turned a simple lyric into a yearly viral phenomenon. Joey Fatone, another bandmate, recently reminisced about the origin of the meme, noting the strategic pronunciation shift suggested by Martin, which accidentally gave birth to this enduring meme culture staple.

As we relish Lance and Michaelโ€™s adorable contribution to the โ€œItโ€™s Gonna Be Mayโ€ lore, itโ€™s clear that this meme isnโ€™t just a nod to nostalgiaโ€”itโ€™s a living, evolving piece of pop culture embraced by a community that values humor, history, and a touch of sass. Whether itโ€™s through a bowl of ramen or a dance move, Lance Bass and Michael Turchin remind us that joy can be found in the most unexpected moments.

Radcliffe Backs Trans Rights Despite J.K. Rowling Rants






In the magical realms of Hollywood and Broadway, Daniel Radcliffe continues to conjure respect and admiration, not just for his undeniable talent but for his staunch support of the LGBTQ+ community. Recently spotlighted for his heartfelt disappointment in J.K. Rowlingโ€™s views on transgender issues, Radcliffeโ€™s commitment to inclusivity shines ever brighter.

At a time when the creator of the beloved Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has taken a divisive stance on transgender rights, Radcliffe remains a vocal ally. In an enlightening conversation with The Atlantic, the actor expressed profound sadness over Rowlingโ€™s continued controversial statements concerning trans individuals and their rights. The genesis of this tension can be traced back to Rowlingโ€™s reaction to a 2020 article about โ€œpeople who menstruate,โ€ which she mocked, subsequently sparking a widespread discourse about gender identities with her essay, famously dubbed the โ€œTERF Wars.โ€

Radcliffe, who recently received his first Tony Award nomination for his role in the Broadway musical Merrily We Roll Along, reiterated his unwavering support for all LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite the personal connections and nostalgic ties to Rowling through the Harry Potter series, he stated unequivocally that he would not retract his support for the community, even in the face of potential personal backlash from the author herself.

This isnโ€™t the first time Radcliffe has taken a public stand on this issue. His earlier response via the LGBTQ+ suicide prevention charity, The Trevor Project, emphasized a clear message: โ€œTrans women are women.โ€ This statement came at a crucial time, aiming to counteract any negative impacts Rowlingโ€™s comments might have had on fans who hold the Harry Potter universe dear.

The ripple effects of Rowlingโ€™s opinions have been profound, with many fans feeling a sense of betrayal, while others have labeled Radcliffe and his fellow co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, as โ€œungrateful.โ€ However, Radcliffe addresses such critiques head-on, advocating for the notion that gratitude towards someone for past opportunities doesnโ€™t require a lifetime of agreement with their views.

As Radcliffe moves forward, balancing his flourishing acting career with his advocacy, he sends a powerful message about integrity and the importance of supporting marginalized communities, regardless of the potential fallout with influential figures from his past. His actions underscore a commitment to doing what he feels is right, proving that off-screen, he can be just as heroic as the character he portrayed on-screen.
