The Pillows, Track Suits and Letters That Fans Send to Broadway Stars
A customized black track suit. Papier-mâché 'Little Shop of Horrors' fly traps. Friendship bracelets in a range of colors and designs. The fan mail landscape in New York theater is alive and well. Across the theater district, stage managers and theater employees collect fan art, stuffed animals and other gifts of appreciation that are sent to stars, ferrying the items to mailboxes and dressing rooms. 'It's so cool that people still send me things after all these years,' said Joey Fatone, the former 'N Sync singer who recently ended his run in the Broadway musical '& Juliet.' He estimated that each week he received about a dozen handwritten letters and several packages, including one containing a track suit emblazoned with '& Joeyet,' a play on his name and the jukebox musical's. 'I read as much as I can, but there's so much,' said Fatone, 48. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Joey Fatone Teams Up with Red Lobster to Bring Back a Dose of '90s Nostalgia in New Commercial (Exclusive)
Joey Fatone is teaming up with Red Lobster to celebrate all things 1999 The *NSYNC star appears in a commercial celebrating Red Lobster's 3-Course Shrimp Sensation Fatone tells PEOPLE why the playful tone and delicious biscuits made the partnership a must Joey Fatone was a big deal in 1999, if he does say so himself. The *NSYNC star appears in a commercial with Red Lobster, where he celebrates how three courses for $19.99, the new 3-Course Shrimp Sensation, is also a big deal. Speaking with PEOPLE about the partnership, Fatone says it's all about "having fun." "I know that in many commercials that Red Lobster has done, they don't take themselves too, too seriously," Fatone tells PEOPLE. "I was a big deal in 1999, and the shrimp is a pretty big deal. It's something that's definitely affordable for families and stuff." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He continued, "So I was like, 'You know what? This is something that's fun and exciting to do. Why not?' We tweaked the idea, working together to make it the best and funniest way possible. Classics are coming back, nostalgia's coming back, and the shrimp deal at Red Lobster is coming back." Fatone admits he had a second motivation to team up with Red Lobster — his love of the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. You can get unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits along with your choice of soup or salad, a shrimp appetizer, and a shrimp entrée as part of the 3-Course Shrimp Sensation. "I'm not going to lie, I mean, who doesn't love their cheddar biscuits? I'm a huge cheddar biscuit fan. If you want me to be real, I'm being real. So I was like, 'Does it come with free cheddar biscuits?' That's what I was asking," he laughs. Noting that "nostalgia is back" in a big way, Fatone says the look back at musical favorites like *NSYNC's 90s hits is similar to going back to an old favorite meal. "Music and food bring you back. Comfort food brings you back," he says. "People are looking back for more of the lighter times. [That's] not saying that this time is a dark and dreary time in the world, but the '90s were just a good, fun-loving [time] for music, for pop, [and now] for nostalgia." He continued, "I'm speaking for myself in the sense of as we get older, my generation, we want to connect to the things that were more simple in life and more fun. Now we're adults and doing adult things, where back in the day as a kid, it was a lot more free, a lot more easier." Read the original article on People

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 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. Michael Turchin and Lance Bass on holiday in Egypt.
