Lance Bass Launches Radio Show; Will The Former 'N Sync Star Make A Comeback?

In a lot of ways, Justin Timberlake achieved the impossible. After spending the first half of his life serenading screaming girls, he was able to completely reinvent himself--thanks to good looks, smart dating choices and SNL.

Timberlake was able to side-step his boy band past, so could his spiky-haired, baby-faced brethren to do the same?

Well, Lance Bass is certainly going to try.

This July, Bass launched 'The Pop Ten,' a weekly radio show on SiriusXM, which bills itself as so much more than a music countdown. It's tapestry of pop culture--a fusion between friendly talk show, including celebrity guests, and a music countdown--with Bass at its the center.

The Daily Beast recently profiled the 'N Sync star to illustrate a dizzying ambition and a budding comeback.

Bass has been on the periphery of pop culture for a while, making headlines when he announced his homosexuality and his heartfelt space aspirations.

Recently, his interests are a little more grounded, but still impressive. Though Timberlake is trying to revamp Myspace, Bass is putting his own entrepreneurship to work with FamousYardSale, a site dedicated to selling off celebrity's belongings. He is also planning on turning that concept into a reality TV show.

But as the article explains, that's not all. "Bass has at least four TV other shows in development, including a sitcom and another reality competition in a format similar to The Voice, but for aspiring boy-band members."

So, what do you think? Can lightning strike twice for this boy band?

I wouldn't call it a (I hate to say it) "comeback" because he isn't singing or doing a music tour; I'd call it a career transition. All of us eventually change careers, especially in this crazy economy.

You mean making silly music? Sure, all he needs is a seedy manager with money who only cares about money and with the Industries Help, who only care about Money, ram this crap in everyone's face and ears.

Whether Lance Bass finds success in both of his ventures or not, it will not be a comeback. The term comeback implies that someone has returned to the trade.

Is it a "comeback" when most people have no idea who you are to begin with?
