'N Sync bass singer Lance Bass may be known to hordes of adoring teenage female fans for his crooning in one of the most phenomenally successful boy bands of the 1990s, though the singer also launched an acting career in the new millennium with roles in Longshot (2000) and the romantic comedy On the Line (both alongside fellow 'N Syncer Joey Fatone) the following year.Born May 4, 1979, in Laurel, MS, the playful and optimistic blond singer also turned up as the host of MTV's Who Knows the Band game show in 2001. Always keeping busy, the young singer also founded a music production company (Free Lance Entertainment Group Inc.) and a film production company (A Happy Place) in addition to his hosting and singing duties. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An 18-year old rock & roll fan finds her crafty scheme to have a little fun in the sun with her favorite musician thwarted in this romantic teen comedy starring Amanda Bynes and Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Jenny (Bynes) is a wide-eyed teen who has recently been hired to work at a popular tropical resort for the summer. When Jenny learns that handsome rock star Jason (Chris Carmack) will be a guest at the posh resort, her excitement is simply too powerful to contain. Fortunately for Jenny, fate is on her side this summer, and when Jason falls overboard from his cruise ship Jenny reflexively dives in to save him. Upon rafting to the safety of a nearby shore, Jenny convinces the hunky rocker that the pair are castaways on a deserted island paradise. Of course, considering that the luxury resort is just a stone's throw away, this minor deception is a bit of a stretch, but what's a little white lie when the object of her affections is none the wiser? Jenny's brilliant plan for romance is soon complicated, however, when her romantic rival, Alexis (Sigler), washes ashore pretending to be shipwrecked as well.

In response to the American Idol juggernaut on the Fox network, CBS came up with a miniseries titled Game$how Marathon, based on the satirical British weekly Ant & Dec's Gameshow Marathon. Each hour-long episode lovingly recreated such classic TV games shows as Beat the Clock, The Price Is Right, Let's Make a Deal, The Match Game, Family Feud, Press Your Luck, and Card Sharks. Host Ricki Lake presided over a lineup of celebrity contestants including Kathy Najimy, Tim Meadows, Paige Davis, Leslie Nielsen, Lance Bass, and Brande Roderick -- not to mention such special guest stars as the ageless, indefatigable Bob Barker. In the tradition of American Idol and other such interactive TV contest shows, the viewers at home were invited to compete for the weekly grand prize right along with the winning celebrities. Initially slated to air in 2005, Game$how Marathon was finally unveiled by CBS on May 31, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

More from the reality TV genre, this weekly talent contest broke up its contestants into three age groups: 3 to 7, 8 to 12, and 13 to 15. Twelve aspiring stars were trotted out on each of the series' four hour-long installments, their contributions judge by Lance Bass of *NSYNC and two weekly celebrity guest judges. Out of respect for the ages and tender psyches of the contestants, the series did not indulge in the "truth really hurts" assessments characterized by the infamous Simon Cowell on American Idol. In fact, much time was spent consoling those kids who did not make the final cut (to say nothing of the kids' parents). The Search for the Most Talented Kid in America was launched on March 21, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Two of the members of popular boy band 'N Sync make their feature acting debuts with this light romantic comedy. Lance Bass stars as shy Kevin Gibbons, an advertising executive in Chicago who's notoriously maladroit at dealing with the opposite sex. After a chance encounter with his dream girl (Emmanuelle Chriqui) aboard the El train, Kevin forgets to ask for her name and phone number and plasters the Windy City with posters seeking his lost love connection. Kevin's quest to find the mystery girl soon attracts the attention of a newspaper reporter and he becomes a media darling, while his roommates Rod (Joey Fatone), Randy (James Bulliard), and Eric (Gregory Qaiyum) take full advantage of the amorous response by Chicago's female population to their friend's heartbroken search. On the Line (2001) co-stars Dave Foley and Jerry Stiller, along with singer Al Green as himself. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
