Subject: Lance & Joey's New Reality Show

From E! Online

'N Sync's Lance and Joey Couple Up By Sarah Hall

Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are saying bye bye bye to boy-bandhood and hello to reality television.

With chances of an 'N Sync reunion looking increasingly slim, the popsters have pinned their hopes to a new UPN project about their lives, billed as an update of The Odd Couple.


Tentatively titled Out of Sync, the comedy-reality hybrid will feature Fatone as the slovenly Oscar character, and Bass as Felix, the neurotic neat guy.


UPN President Dawn Ostroff said Thursday that the series is in development for the fall.


"They came to us," she said. "Joey and Lance are such fun, interesting people and they truly are an odd couple--even if you sit in a room with them, it's Felix and Oscar in many ways."


The original Odd Couple was a Neil Simon Broadway show about two men separated from their wives, who move in together, despite their differences. It was later made into both an Oscar-winning film, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau, and a television series, starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman


It's unclear how closely Fatone and Bass plan to stick to the plot line and whether cohabitation is in the cards. While Bass is still single, Fatone traded vows with his longtime girlfriend, Kelly Baldwin, in September 2004, and is the father of 5-year-old Brianna.


Fatone and Bass previously teamed up for the 2001 romantic comedy, On the Line. Fatone also appeared in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and stage productions of Rent and Little Shop of Horrors.


Bass, meanwhile, spent a good chunk of his post-Sync days attempting to get himself launched into orbit, a quest that was eventually nixed by Russia's space program.


Though 'N Sync has never formally broken up, the band has been on an extended break since Justin Timberlake released his 2002 solo album, Justified.


After achieving multiplatinum status on his own, not to mention snagging himself a superstar girlfriend and a handful of film roles, Timberlake is reportedly reluctant to consider a return to boy-bander status.


Just don't tell Bass, who remains convinced that 'N Sync will rise again.


"It might be five years from now, it might be a year from now, but we will definitely do some more music," he told MTV in June.


We're not holding our breath.

[> [> What a coincidence! I just got the scoop about this TV show this afternoon--from the boss, who ran into Joey and his family at lunch today. They hadn't seen each other in quite awhile, so there was a lot of catching up to do. Dax called me with the news. Then I stop by here and read all the details! Brooke, you are really GOOD! :-) -- Lynn, 19:54:48 01/20/06 Fri [1]

[> [> [> Oh wow - what a coincidence! That's really cool! I'm glad Dax & Joey got to catch up. I won't get to see the show b/c I don't have UPN (I think that's the channel it said). I'm kinda bummed - I'd like to see what kind of trouble those two get into! haha -- Brooke, 20:41:09 01/23/06 Mon [1]

[> I wish Joey and Lance much success. I really enjoyed watching them in On the Line (one of my favorite movies). So, I bet this tv show will be good too. -- Rae-Anne, 23:20:10 01/24/06 Tue [1]

[> I read one of the article that Joey said this show is not reality show... it's a sitcom show. Also, there's speculation about heavy fines against this production from FCC. Hmm. I have no idea what's all racket about FCC issues with this sitcom show. If this is going to be on full roll, I'll be looking forward to see this show on UPN TV! I need to find out if I have it here. ::crossed fingers:: -- Busta, 15:07:31 01/26/06 Thu [1]
