“It was the night that she got married the first time in Vegas to Jason, so I went up to Vegas to kind of see the craziness that was happening. And she was a little upset once she realized what she had done because, you know, it was a funny thing,” Bass said of Spears’ first marriage, which she had annulled just 55 hours later. “And then she started, like, really crying and, like, she was so upset.”
And how do you cheer up a friend who just made a very stupid and public error? Well:
Bass continued, “And so I took her to her room and we were sitting on her bed and she wouldn’t stop crying, so I was like, ‘I’m gay,’ and it made her stop crying … She chuckled.”
Bass came out publicly in a People cover story in 2006, but it is extremely nice and early aughts nostalgia-inducing to think he told his good friend Britney Spears first, creating a far more eternal bond than that bestowed by a Vegas marriage certificate. [Page Six]
Also in
Britney Spears news, it turns out Spears is
not engaged to boyfriend
Sam Asghari. Apparently she’s been walking around with some bling on her ring finger of late, but it means NOTHING.
People reports:
Despite the speculation, a source tells PEOPLE the singer, 37, is not engaged.
That settles it!
Whether or Asghari does decide to pop the question, I demand he handle Spears’s heart with care. She’s been through a lot, she is a treasure, and if he hurts her, I am certain Lance Bass will fuck his shit up. [People]
