NEW YORK — Don’t get your heart set on anything more than the 90-second ‘N Sync reunion seen on the MTV Video Music Awards. The performance marked the first time the band played together in 11 years, and also the last time they’ll do it, at least for a while.

“It would be lovely to do it, but we’ve got nothing planned,” Lance Bass told The Associated Press on Monday between breaks of his Sirius XM show, “Dirty Pop With Lance Bass.”
One reason is that Justin Timberlake begins his solo tour this fall, and Bass says the closest he’ll get to the stage is a seat in the audience.
“Who knows what will happen when he’s off tour. It’s simply not part of the conversation right now. We just focused on that one performance,” Bass said. “If we did anything like that, I think we would come up with something real special where we could actually call it ‘The Reunion.”‘
Bass, along with fellow boy-band mates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez, joined Timberlake, who was already performing at the VMAs on Sunday night. They wanted to do something special for Timberlake for receiving The Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, the VMA’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement award.
While the last 15 seconds of their reunion performance made Bass feel nauseous, getting to the stage was an adrenaline rush.
Bass said just before they stopped performing, he felt queasy from nerves.
Taylor Swift donates guitar to charity event
WEST WARWICK, R.I. — A silent auction to raise money for charity and celebrate a Rhode Island town’s centennial is getting some help from singer Taylor Swift.
The Providence Journal reports that Swift donated an autographed acoustic guitar to be auctioned off Sept. 20 during West Warwick’s centennial ball. Proceeds from the auction will support a local scholarship and efforts to build a memorial to the victims of the 2003 Station nightclub fire in West Warwick.
Swift owns a beach home in Westerly, about 30 miles southwest of West Warwick.
