Lance and Reichen: It's Over

*NSYNCer Lance Bass and his boyfriend, Reichen Lehmkuhl, have parted ways, according to TMZ.com. Lance's publicist issued a statement confirming the split, which is rumored to have come as a surprise to Reichen, who'd been denying any split to family and mutual friends.

This summer, the two caused quite a stir when their relationship led boy-bander and Cosmonaut hopeful Bass to come out of the closet, creating bitter disappointment among 12-year-old girls everywhere (and, sadly, a college sorority sister of mine, who is probably in for a lifetime of doomed relationships).
