Who is NSYNC singer Lance Bass' husband, Michael Turchin? He's an actor and artist, and the couple's Park Plaza Hotel wedding was the first same-sex marriage to be televised on US cable TV
NSYNC alum Lance Bass just turned 46 – and there's more than one reason May is a special month for the ex-boy band member. ''It's Going to Be May' time is always the gift that keeps on giving,' Bass told Today.com earlier this month. 'We're nostalgic. We really are in the sense of that meme,' his bandmate
Joey Fatone added.
The pair are referring to a meme based on the NSYNC song 'It's Gonna Be Me' featuring a shot of Justin Timberlake singing the edited lyrics ('It's Gonna Be May') which the internet circulates every year just before the month arrives. But Bass says his twins aren't yet old enough to appreciate the meme.

Teen former member of US-based K-pop group VCHA sues label alleging abuse and exploitation
Something about K-pop always captivated Kiera Grace Madder. The 17-year-old singer has been a fan of its synchronised choreography, fashion-forward outfits and distinctive sound for as long as she can remember. So in 2022, when she learned that JYP Entertainment, one of the biggest K-pop talent agencies, had plans to make a group with North American-based talent, she jumped at the opportunity. She auditioned for a reality show and earned her place in an all-girl group called VCHA, with five other teens. But last summer, less than a year after officially debuting, the group pulled out of a performance and went quiet on social media. In a lawsuit filed last December against JYP USA in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Madder, who goes by the stage name KG Crown, revealed she had left VCHA and alleged child labour law violations, abuse and exploitation. Play 'I knew the K-pop system was very hard-working – probably one of the most hard-working systems in the music industry,' Madder said. 'I'm a hard worker, so I was willing to put in any hard work, but I did not know about what can go on behind closed doors.' JYP USA issued a statement on social media when the lawsuit was filed, claiming Madder had made 'unilateral public statements containing false and exaggerated claims'.

The Cairo independent cinema giving up-and-coming Egyptian directors a rare space to grow
In the heart of Cairo, a small cinema has, for over a decade, offered a unique space for independent film in a country whose industry is largely dominated by commercial considerations. Advertisement Zawya, meaning 'perspective' in Arabic, has weathered the storm of Egypt's economic upheavals, championing a more artistic approach from the historical heart of the country's golden age of cinema. Zawya was born in the postrevolutionary artistic fervour of the 2011 uprising that toppled long-time president Hosni Mubarak. 'There was this energy where people wanted to produce and create, not just in cinema, but in all the arts, you could feel it,' says Zawya founder Youssef Shazli. For over a decade, Zawya has provided a precious space for independent filmmakers to showcase their work. Photo: AFP In the time since, it has escaped a wave of closures – some forced – of arts centres across the capital.
