Joey Fatone, once a member of the insanely popular boy band 'NSync, has now been relegated to opening a new public restroom in NYC's Times Square. We … have no words.

Last night's TRL finale wasn't quite the circus it proved to be back in its heyday, mainly because the show has been trying way too hard since before Britney Spears took her tumble. Regardless, some of the show's most successful graduates showed up to pay tribute to arguably the best thing MTV ever produced. Tons of photos after the jump. CONTINUED »
Today marks the end of an ear-piercing, tween-infused era, thanks to the final episode of TRL airing tonight — and it's live, which is more than we can say about it over the past couple of years. Has-been Carson Daly will host the finale, which is fitting because the years he ran the show were the Glory Days for not only Carson but TRL itself. After many years of pimping out boy bands and Britneys, the show took a turn for the worst, no longer filming live, losing host after host, offering a haven for sad tweens who eat their hair — and making life miserable for Mollygood editors who braved the masses for their favorite singers.
After the jump, a look at our favorite moments from the show's 10-year run. CONTINUED »
Bless Lou Pearlman's heart. The musical con artist, who is currently serving 25 years in a Florida prison for conspiracy and money laundering, is truly an inspiration to all Americans — despite the fact that he's locked up, the former manager of the likes of Backstreet Boys and 'NSync is trudging onward and forming a new boy band.
The name of the future group? Biteboy. We're not even going to touch that one.
Hopefully Biteboy's members like being robbed and molested — when he wasn't stealing money from his clients, Lou was giving the boys "creepy massages and rubbing their abs to align their auras." Sign us up!

Dancing With the Stars inexplicably graced my television set yet again last night, but boy am I glad it did — something magical happened thanks to the producers' decision to make the contestants perform a group hip-hop routine. Cloris Leachman, the 82-year-old who has managed to stick around without doing much dancing at all, was obviously the most entertaining, but soap opera queen Susan Lucci also made me chuckle quite a bit. And my former boyfriend Lance Bass busted out some old school *NSync "Bye Bye Bye" moves (yes, I knew the dance, don't judge).
Despite the awesomeness provided by the contestants, I was left speechless after the routine had ended. I didn't want to talk about what I had just witnessed, because I'm still not sure exactly what the hell happened.
Justin Timberlake is pulling out all the stops while campaigning for Barack Obama, even remixing his No. 1 hit, "Dick in a Box." Yeah, we know the song was just an SNL sketch, but it is way better than anything else Justin put out post-'NSync.
Sure, his off-the-cuff rendition of "Vote in a Box" is slightly humorous, but he still just oozes cockiness and makes us want to punch him in the face. Sorry, J.
Last night was the first time I sat through Dancing With the Stars, and let me tell you: American Idol it is not. I could watch Ryan Seacrest lead me through that nonsense five nights a week, but I can't imagine watching this ballroom competition on a regular basis for the next few months. The only thing keeping me around is the promise of future husband Lance Bass, who is also being wooed by his partner, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. After dancing the cha cha, she confesses that she once believed Lance would marry her. Pshh, please.
And after the jump, my second favorite contestant, Cloris Leachman. Who knew the 82-year-old would inject some life into this drag of a program? CONTINUED »
Hot on the heels of New Kids on the Block, Lance Bass teased girls across America with the possibility of an *NSYNC reunion in the near future.
'We're definitely itching to do some music. … We've always discussed it. It's always a possibility and we still owe some records to the record companies.'
'I want like the seriousness of the possibility,' Nancy [O'Dell] asked of the reunion actually happening.
'The seriousness is good,' Lance said. 'I'm serious! … [But] it's gonna be hard to get Justin [Timberlake] to calm down and get off tour. He has not stopped since our last tour. He's a workaholic.'
Translation: Justin won't participate until he's used up his 15 minutes of fame.

We can only hope that after this photo was taken Britney Spears told the Jonas Brothers to run for their lives. If there's anything interesting about the VMAs, it's the interactions behind the scenes between stars who would normally never speak to each other.

I don't watch Dancing With the Stars but it's looking like I'll have to this season, thanks to the participation of my former boyfriend, Lance Bass. The official cast was announced today, and it also includes Kim Kardashian, Jeffrey Ross, Cloris Leachman and Susan Lucci.
But enough about the D-listers: Lance has officially been on America's radar for 10 years thanks to *NSYNC's July 1998 Disney special. At right is a clip from the show that made me fall in love. Who knew 10 years later Justin would date and dump Britney Spears, Joey would appear on DWTS and host a karaoke show, JC would judge some dance crew competition, and Chris would completely fall off the planet. Congrats, Lance: You're following the path of all great boy band has-beens.
These pictures from the Jonas Brothers' latest visit to TRL made me cringe at first because those poor girls are quite obviously in the middle of a breakdown, but then I remembered I have no room to talk after my years-long *NSYNC obsession. It's good to see a boy band gain that same level of popularity again — every teenage girl should go through that sad, obsessive stage.

BYE BYE BYE "Boy band man Lou Pearlman — the guy who made the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC famous — just got 25 years in the big house for money laundering and conspiracy, among other shady s–t."
I'll come right out and say it: I spent a large portion of my life believing I was going to marry Lance Bass. I was a weird child. My life came crashing down when he finally confirmed he was gay, but sometimes I convince myself this is all a big trick and he is just waiting to meet me.
So you can imagine my sheer happiness today when news broke that Lance broke up with his latest boyfriend, Ben Thigpen. Who says dreams don't come true?
Call me, Lance!

DON'T MESS WITH BOY BANDS "Lou Pearlman, best known for his work with boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, struck a plea deal in his federal bank fraud case and will work with prosecutors to help recover millions of dollars he is accused of stealing. Pearlman allegedly defrauded banks out of more than $100 million and stole another $300 mil from investors."
Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.
10. "These pigs are like, seriously, they went to college or something. Because they are a lot smarter than they look." — Daisy, Rock of Love 2
We accepted that Lance Bass was gay a long time ago, but he seems to keep reminding us by showing up at stuff like the opening night of The Showgirl Must Go On with Bette Midler. We get it, Lance. We put away our *NSYNC posters long ago. Let us grieve in private.

In a world where Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are reuniting, why not 'NSync? JC Chasez confirmed that the band will likely never reunite: "I think everybody's really excited about their own projects. Joey [Fatone] is doing a great job hosting these television shows. Obviously Justin [Timberlake] loves what he does and he's super successful at it, and rightfully so."
And who wouldn't be excited about JC's new project? He's the host of that awful Randy Jackson-hosted show on MTV — something about a dance crew? We watch Rock of Love 2 every Sunday night, but even we won't subject ourselves to that mess.
