Are the rumors true? — Page 2

It seems that if a performing doesn't "look" at you right while he is leaving he is forever labeled "rude."

Of course no one ever considers waiting for a complete stranger while he leaving his work to go home, shoving a piece of paper and pen in his face and insisting he sign his autograph as rude.

It doesnt' matter what the performer has to do after a show - that is really NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

He can be off to his next gig, or want to go home and numb out on Cheetos and bad T.V. His work day is OVER.

Leave them alone.

First of all, Lance has been nothing but gracious at the stage door when I've seen him there (which is 3 or 4 times).
Second of all, if I were him, I'd get the hell out of there and avoid all the crazies.

I think the rumor was that he has broken up with his most recent boyfriend. He might have just wanted to go home and mourn, rather than be hassled by fans that night.

I stage doored for the first time after the 8/12 3pm performance of Hairspray and the only reason I did it then was to try and say hi to someone I know in the production.

I had my younger sister with me and she was a big NSYNCer and Lance was her favorite. I told her not to expect to see Lance because I was sure he'd sneak out some other door.

Much to my surprise and my sister's delight not only was Lance the first person out the stage door but he signed for everyone. I don't know if he posed for pictures because I wasn't watching him but from what I did see he wasn't at all rude.

Meeting celebs is such a crazy thing. Two different people can meet one person on different days and have different stories to tell. I mostly have met MLB players and they're MUCH harder to talk with than theatre people. But I've had a lot of positive interactions but I know people who have had negative interactions with the same people. The thing to keep in mind is that they're human and have problems and appointments just like you. While it's nice that they sign autographs they're not obligated to and they might have something to do that's more important. My experience with Lance was a pleasant one and someone else on this board may have a negative one. But maybe there was something going on in his life that overshadowed him signing something for you. I'm not suggesting people stop asking for autographs but to simply remember that these are people with hopes, fears, problems, and joys just like me and you.

I tried to get Lance Bass to sign my Playbill and he called me a fag.

"Of course no one ever considers waiting for a complete stranger while he leaving his work to go home, shoving a piece of paper and pen in his face and insisting he sign his autograph as rude"

Heh - I love that commercial where the guy is waiting outside of an office building and he starts chasing the employees - "You're on my fantasy team!!!!!"

Aww, I hope La Bass calls me a fag at the stagedoor. That would make my day.

He definitely signed after the Wednesday matinee. I was with luckydave and Lance DID do an elephant project picture gladly. I'm not sure if he took pictures with anyone, but he was definitely signing. No, he didn't take a huge amount of time, but he signed and spoke.
