Lance Bass to get a male partner on DWTS

Former N*Sync member Lance Bass has been tapped to appear on the new season of Dancing With The Stars.  Nothing unusual about a former boy bander  doing some ballroom dancing — Joey Fatone pulled it off.  The unusual part is that Bass, who is now openly gay, might be assigned a male partner.  Now I see where ABC is going with this and they are trying to make a statement about equality and everything, but this show is about entertainment.  I can see this being a huge controversy as certain markets threaten to pull the show on moral grounds.  Plus who would lead and can both partners to lifts and tosses?  That just creates an unfair advantage for Lance and his partner.  What do you think about Lance having a male partner?  Will it be a positive move, create a media circus, take away from the enjoyment of the show or add to it?

  • I believe that everything has its place, and two men (or women) for that matter dancing the ramba, tango or any of those types of dances on DWTS is rediculous!! If they want to do that sort of thing, then create a spin-off of the show. This show was...
