Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Just a few months after coming out to the world, ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass and his boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl have broken up. Sources close to the couple report that the reason behind the split is that Lehmkuhl was simply “sick of taking it up the Bass.”

• The rock group Staind is taking a break from each other with no plans on reconvening. Staind lead singer Aaron Lewis said that the group will use the hiatus to learn a different style of music since no one buys (or likes) nu-metal anymore.

• NBC has picked up a full season of the show 30 Rock, despite the fact that it has only seen a luke-warm response from viewers. To help bump up the ratings, the characters played by Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan will have an illicit affair while Alec Baldwin’s character hunts them down in a 24 hour time frame.

• Following the recent adventures of other celebrities and alcohol, actor Rip Torn was arrested outside of New York City for DUI.  Torn is best known for his roles in such films as Men In Black and Dodgeball, and for constantly being confused with effeminate, confetti throwing comedian Rip Taylor.

• In some sad Hollywood news, Max, the beloved pet pig of George Clooney, has passed away at the ripe old age of 19.  Sources close to Clooney reported that the actor is “devastated” and was in tears as he dug the roasting pit for his Hawaiian Luau-themed memorial this weekend.
