If things go according to plan, Lance Bass will help some Nineties boy band singers return to the spotlight in a new VH1 reality show.

Speaking to New York Magazine Thursday, the 32-year-old *NSYNC alum announced that he recently sold six reality shows, including one to VH1.

"It's a really great music show, starring all your favorite boy bands," Bass said. "It's going to be really fun."

As of now, Bass said the program will feature A.J. McLean from the Backstreet Boys, Joey Fatone from *NSYNC, Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block, and, if he agrees, Bobby Brown from New Edition.

"They're all going to form a boy band, each, from the most talented guys in America that I've scouted, and then they'll go head-to-head in a competition to see who the best band is," Bass explained. "It's bragging rights for the guy in the group, for sure."

Brown, 42, has yet to officially sign on, but Bass seemed optimistic. "I think Bobby will do it," he said. "I think he'd love it!"

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
