NSYNC’s Lance Bass is an Ole Miss fan and told me so in this video

You heard it here first, folks: Lance Bass—native Mississippian and beloved bass vocalist from superstar boy band NSYNC—LOVES THE DAMN REBS.

How do I know, you ask? Well HE TOLD ME IN THIS KICKASS BIRTHDAY VIDEO I WILL CHERISH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I’m sure it didn’t matter that my 5-year-old (with considerable help from his dad) paid him to do it through Cameo.com, where you can book personalized videos for your loved ones from all sorts of celebrities (seriously, it’s a very cool site).

No, no, noooooo, my friends—it goes deeper than that. For instance, listen to the inflection (and gusto!) of the “Hotty Toddy” at the end. That’s not coming from some NOVICE who’s been paid to wish me a happy birthday. Clearly he’s done that before. Many times. And this is the definitive proof that Lance is, in fact, a Landshark lover.
