Openly gay former boy-band singer Lance Bass became a radio station intern—because he bet on his ex-band member, Joey Fatone, according to Starpulse.com . Among other things, Bass agreed to pump free gas for an hour for a Star 98.7 promotion in Burbank, Calif., if Fatone did not get a perfect score on a recent Dancing with the Stars performance. Fatone did not get a 30, and Bass held up his part of the bargain.

David Faustino—known as Bud Bundy on TV's Married With Children—has been arrested on charges of marijuana possession and disorderly intoxication, according to The ShowBuzz. When Florida police saw Faustino, 33, along with his wife, Andrea, 31, he reportedly tried to climb out a car window, and then opened the door. He was booked into the Volusia County jail and let go the next day.

Joan Collins is claiming that Legends co-star Linda Evans got a little too nasty during their on-stage fights, 247Gay.com reported. Collins has said that she was left bruised and even suffered a scarred knee, among other things. In Legends, the former co-stars of TV's Dynasty played two feuding former movie stars.

Former Charlie's Angel star Farrah Fawcett is reportedly battling cancer again, according to a FOX23.com item. The disease has returned three months after physicians proclaimed her cancer-free. However, instead of dealing with chemotherapy, Fawcett will reportedly be implanted with a radiation-emitting device.

Tammy Faye Messner, who was once involved in a church-related scandal with ex-husband Jim Bakker, is down to 65 pounds and said that doctors have stopped treating her, according to The Chicago Tribune. In a letter on her Web site, she thanked her friends and fans, who have sent flowers and cards. In 1996, Messner was first diagnosed with colon cancer, and three years ago she announced that the disease had spread to her lungs.

First, it was Gilmore Girls. Now, The CW has also axed Veronica Mars, the series that starred Kristen Bell as a tough-talking, smart teenager, according to the Associated Press. However, despite the efforts of fans, the ratings ( or lack thereof ) spoke loudest. The last original episode will air May 22.

Coley Laffoon, the soon-to-be ex-husband of actress Anne Heche, has called her a bad parent who exhibits 'bizarre and delusional behavior,' according to People.com . In return, Heche released a statement that called her estranged husband a liar. Laffoon filed for divorce in February after five years of marriage; he is seeking $33,000 a month in support and wants primary custody of their son, Homer. As many know, Heche dated talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres before breaking up in 2000.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James are gay for pay in their next film, the Associated Press reported. In I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, the twosome are firemen who pretend to be a gay couple in order to get domestic-partnership benefits. Sandler said, 'I know Kevin, and it's kind of a strange thing to have to play. So to ease the tension, before the first day of shooting, we had sex with each other.'

Because of financial trouble, Michael Jackson reportedly will go on a concert tour with his brothers and sister Janet, according to Blender magazine. Moreover, Jackson supposedly has been unable to find work in Las Vegas, and his Neverland Ranch is allegedly more than $25 million in debt.
