Lance Bass is gay

Why does this even qualify as news? First and foremost, I don't care if he is gay. I think it's great he felt he was in a good enough place in his life to come out to the world. But this belongs in the National Enquirer and on E! television, not on the front page of CNN.com immediately to the right of the top story, "Bloodied Lebanese flee airstrike." Morever, this is like Dom Deluise announcing to the world that he immensely enjoys delicious cakes and pies or Paris Hilton holding a press conference to disclose that her vagina is a convention center and that it will host the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Not only is it not news, even worse, it's OLD non-news.
