Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl End Relationship?
Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award winners Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl have ended their relationship, according to an unconfirmed report from Perez Hilton over the weekend.
Said his source: "They had been fighting a lot lately. They tried a lot of things to make it work - even opening up the relationship - but they would just fight all the time towards the end. It wasn't working."

Meaning Reichen's book isn't selling well, so he's gotten all of the publicity mileage he could from Lance.

Watch Reichen hook up with TR Knight next.

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Wow, first it's Brit and K-Fed now this. What's happening to all the tacky relationships? They're falling apart like the Bush administration.
Oh and what's the 'even opening up the relationship'... possible couple exchange with Neil Patrick Harris and his bf maybe?

Leland.... oh Leeeeeeeeland? Shhhh, don't bother him, he's busy typing... his eighteen paragraph synopsis will be available sometime later today.
:) I kid you Leland... I just know you have SOMETHING on your mind regarding this.

Ah...these are the gays of our lives. This really doesn't surprise me at all.

Opening the relationship?? I don't think doing that ever solves problems and brings people closer together. "Gee, now because we are able to sleep with other people, I feel closer to you and think our problems might be solved." And I don't think many people open relationships up for emotions, any takers? As for Reichen, I mean you could carve a statue of a little man made out of shit and comparing it with him, there would still be more shit in his smile than in the whole that statue.

Well, y'know, now that Tom is married he feels he can play around...

I know i'm hopelessly romantic and probably a bit naive.. but this made me a little sad..

i'm with you, darren

Darren, you made me sad. Look at Reichen. Yes, he's hot but he's a total spotlight whore. Did you really think this was going to last?
Posted by: Rory | Dec 4, 2006 9:01:05 AM
Leland is going to be a total gentleman and not say (type) a word. I just know it. He has far too much respect for Mr. Bass and, I'm sure, wishes both men the best in spite of his past criticism of Mr. Lehmkuhl.

"They tried a lot of things to make it work - even opening up the relationship."
That's odd. Usually embarking on an open relationship ends well for all involved.

Am I the only one who doesn't find the "Lance Bass" look attractive in any sort. I'm sure this boyband guy could look a lot better, but I am just not suprised at this split, and Reichen was probably just using him for PR. Wouldn't suprise me.

We're linking to Perez Hilton now? Seriously?
Posted by: chrisb | Dec 4, 2006 9:23:04 AM
Leland should be turning on his computer just about...NOW.
Posted by: JT | Dec 4, 2006 9:56:41 AM
Gee, I'm heartbroken. Guess Reichen (or Richard, which is his real name rather than his fake name) will quickly move on to his next victim. In the meantime he undoubtedly will milk the "break-up" with Lance for maximum exposure. Then he wonders aloud (as per the latest edition of the Advocate) why the gay community hates his guts? Go take a good look at yourself in the mirror, you preening mega-*sshole.
Posted by: Mike | Dec 4, 2006 9:58:52 AM
I guess he just was not Mr. Reichen-now...

anyone who believed there was a relationship, there, is probably still looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction. I wonder who's gonna get to keep the Bandwagon Award from HRC?

This sucks, those two were the closest us gays had to royalty here in the US.

YAWNNNNNNNN
Posted by: patrick nyc | Dec 4, 2006 10:46:34 AM
you can totally tell that reichen is all about 'me, me, meeee'
if the break-up is true, then i am glad.
i hope lance finds someone who wants to be with him, rather than be with him for the fame.

Well fiddle dee dee.

Oh no, now I have no more role models to look up to when I decide to grow up.

I am with ChrisB...we are taking Perez Hilton's routine schlock as genuine news? He is so effin' gross.

JT, how can you be so cruel to me in this moment of my greatest sorrow??? I've cried so much since reading this that a rainbow has formed over my keyboard! First, if this rumor is true, there's the pain I feel for Ricky that I just can't find words for. Doesn't anyone believe in true love anymore, and that it's possible for a humble, altruistic person like Ricky to have found it four times in three years? I take comfort in knowing that at least this one lasted longer than the last one, his relationship with NYC "trainer" Louis Corragio, and that, as far as we know, unlike with Corragio and Arndt [nearly five years that time] R didn't shell out [assuming he ever does] for yet another set of commitment rings. Second, if true, there's that sizable bet I lost that the benefits of their symbiotic relationship [read Mutual Publicity Generating Organism] would, regardless of what was actually going on privately [I mean, really, how many times could Lance pull out only to discover that somehow he was now sporting two or three more condoms, which he'd never seen before, than when he, uh, went in?], they would still appear in public together until after Lance's TV show had launched, and Ricky had something new up his.......sleeve. Of course, if it's true, the practical issue is, knowing how greedy those HRC bitches are, I will NEVER get a refund for those dozens of Exclusive Radko "Lance & Reichen's First Christmas" ornaments that I bought simply everyone on my Xmas list. Do you still want yours, JT? I'm sorry. I'm just too broken up to type on. NURSE! More thorazine, PLEASE!!!!
