Evidently, Lance Bass will be the next former NSYNC'r on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

The New York Daily News reports:

"Lance Bass is locked and loaded for the next season of "Dancing With the Stars," says an insider. But we hear network execs are already fretting over whether or not to pair the openly gay pop star with a male or female dance partner. A gay ballroom dancer? Color us surprised!"

We're not too shocked either. At this point, "Dancing with the Stars" must be looking for Z-listers. Hell, I'd do it... and I can't dance nor am I a star.

No word yet on who will officially join ABC's next lot of dancers. "The View's" Sherri Shephard keeps chirping about it. I hope they let her do it. She needs some time away from the brainwashing over on ABC's morning bitch gab fest.
