New York, New York, U.S.A.: Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2007. Signed by author on title page. At sixteen, Lance Bass received a phone call from Justin Timberlake that would change his life forever. Soon after, he left his small-town home in Clinton, Mississippi, to join an emerging musical group called *NSYNC. Two years later *NSYNC was inspiring Beatles-esque mania around the world, becoming the face of the new MTV generation, and earning the all-time record for most album sales in a single day (more than one million) and in a single week for No Strings Attached. He's remained in the spotlight ever since, and here he talks in depth for the first time about his childhood, his astonishing experiences as a young man and Christian growing up in one of the biggest bands in the world, his shock and frustration at the band's eventual dissolution, and his subsequent career, including his four months in Russia, training to become a cosmonaut. He also frankly discusses life as a gay man -- his first same-sex relationship at twenty-one, his struggle to keep his sexuality hidden from *NSYNC's fans in case it jeopardized the band's success, and the true circumstances that led to his decision to publicly come out at the age of twenty-seven. Full of fascinating behind-the-scenes lore and revealing insights from a pop star who, until now, has been notoriously private, Out of Sync is the book that millions of fans have been waiting for. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

Two of these streets opened into one angle, so that the seven formed an irregular star, as described by John Evelyn. I went, he says, on the 5th of October, 1694, to see the block of stone--St. Giles--where seven streets, making a star from the Doric pillar placed in the middle of the circular area, said to have been built by Mr. Neal, introducer of the late lotteries. Cunninghams Handbook to London says it was removed in July, 1773, on the supposition that a considerable sum of money was lodged at the base, but tae search was ineffectual. The old column had been some years in a stone masons yard, and in 1822 was bought by the inhabitants of Weybridge, and set up on the green as a memorial to the Duchess of York. in Sunderland who fought at Waterloo. And this boast was commonly taken to be well founded, as it was sustained by the medals he displayed on his breast when in holiday costume. These seemed to bear out that John was one of the few surviving heroes of the Peninsular War, and of the great battle on the plains of Waterloo. According to his own account, Joseph Cawthorne was born on the anniversary of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist, the 29th of August, 1790, at Newark-onTrent. When he was fourteen years of age, he was bound apprentice to a canvas weaver; but he was hardly out of his apprenticeship when he joined the Montgomeryshire Militia, and shortly afterwards volunteered into the first battalion of the Rifle Brigade. After a six weeks furlough, he proceeded to Lisbon to join his regiment, marching through Portugal to Spain. He fought at Vittoria, the Pyrenees, and Toulouse, and in nearly every one of the hotly-contested engagements in the Peninsula; and he had the rare good fortune to be o. . .
