The pop star shared her visit with Lance Bass' 20-month-old twins, Violet Betty and Alexander James, in a joyful Twitter post.

The 90s are back! Pop icons Britney Spears and former NSYNC member Lance Bass recently got together just like old times. During their reunion Spears got to meet two very special potential pop stars of the future—Bass' twin babies.

Spears was recently introduced to Bass' 20-month-old twins Violet Betty and Alexander James, whom he shares with husband actor Michael Turchin.


Spears gushed about the meet-up in a Twitter post with photos of her and husband Sam Asghari snuggling up to the little ones during the visit, as seen below.

In her post, Spears wrote:

"I’m a new auntie for Lance’s babies !!! They are absolutely gorgeous babies !!!"

Two snapshots were included of Spears holding one of the babies alongside Bass and Asghari, who was also all smiles in the pics.

Spears, 41, and Bass, 44, of course go way back--both were part of the teen pop explosion of the late 90s, and Spears and NSYNC frequently toured together in the earlier days of their career, with Spears opening for the boy band on their 1998 tour.

But their bond goes even deeper than that. Bass has said that Spears was one of the first people he came out as gay to back in 2004, long before he made the news public, and in a 2021 appearance on Ancestry.com's podcast "2 Lies & a Leaf," he found out that the two are actually related--they're sixth cousins, once removed.

Bass, who married Turchin in 2014 in the first televised same-sex marriage ceremony after meeting at a birthday party, welcomed their twins via surrogate in 2021.

Bass has discussed previously having tried to get the twins to meet their Auntie Britney, but described how difficult it is to get a hold of her, even after the dissolution of her conservatorship in 2021. He told Page Six in 2022:

“It’s just, you know, there’s a wall around her. And for some reason, those people don’t want her old friends involved with her life.”

That seems to have changed now where Bass is concerned, and he and Britney's legions of fans were thrilled by the reunion.









The delightful reunion with Bass comes amid a swirl of good news for Spears, including her new song "Mind Your Business" with will.i.am and a forthcoming memoir to be released in October.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
