"I never would have thought that by 21 I would have done the things I've done," marvels Lance Bass. As part of the beloved 'Nsync, he's achieved plenty: fame, fortune, an acting gig on TV's 7th Heaven. And as if that weren't enough, Lance has also started his own management company, his family-run FreeLance Entertainment. "I've always wanted to be a manager, even before I wanted to sing," he says. His first charge, teenage country artist Meredith Edwards--the two sang together in a vocal group called the Mississippi Showstoppers back when Lance was 14--recently landed a record deal with Mercury Nashville. "I can trust him with anything," Meredith says. That means a lot to Lance, especially after 'Nsync's well-publicized legal problems with their former management. "Managers do do good; they're not all just there for the money," he says. "My goal is to see artists develop and rise to the top." That's a place Lance knows better than most.

The Guys On..Lance [YM]
Best Quality
Chris: "He has a huge business mind. He's our sensible one."

Most Annoying Trait
JC: "He enjoys seeing people annoyed."
Joey: "Like, we're going up in an elevator and Lance gets out on a lower floor. When the elevator is about to close for me, he puts his hand between the doors so that they can't close. So I press the button, and he puts his hand in again--ten times!"

Coolest Thing He Does
Justin: "He throws a good party, man."
Chris: "He took us all to his hometown and showed us Mississippi life at its finest."

How He's Most Changed
JC: "Lance has changed visually."
Joey: "Yeah, man, he had a bulb-head hair-cut at first!"
JC: "He's learned a lot about music."
Chris: "When we first met him, Lance was confused. Now, he's managing other artists."

Cosmo Girl Questionnaire
CG!: What's your best quality?
Lance: I'm really hardheaded at times. If something pisses me off or I know something's wrong, I'll fight and I won't stop until it's done the right way.

CG!: When was your last date?
Lance: Well, it was with Danielle [Fishel], and we broke up last summer. Since then I've gone out and met people, but no official dates.

CG!: Do you miss it?
Lance: I do, but it's not fair to the girl if you're always on the road. I can't stand dating somebody and not being there for them. You can talk on the phone, but it's not the same.

CG!: You 'N Sync guys spend so much time together. Do you ever fight?
Lance: We're like brothers. Brothers always fight about different little nitpicky things, but you still love 'em.

CG!: "I hate it when a girl..."
Chris: "I'm Lance, and I hate it when a girl starts talking about our future together, starts talking about our future together, starts putting on all the pressure to get married, and then tells all my other friends certain things that didn't really happen, but she makes them up because she wants to live in her little dream world."
Lance: That was my ex-ex-ex-ex-girlfriend from like twenty years ago.

CG!: "When it comes to meeting girls, my best pickup line is..."
