Russians Patience Running Thin With Lance Ba$$

The New York Daily News reports Konstantin Kreidenko, a rep for the Russian Aviation and Space Agency says *NSYNC star Lance Bass went through “the training part [in Russia] went in a satisfactory manner, but the final results will be seen in a preflight test that he will have to pass.” Still, that won’t mean anything unless he can round up the necessary $20 million to make the flight. “We are in constant talks with the American side, but our patience isn’t limitless,” he said. “Except for their promises, we’ve received nothing from them. Nothing at all.” David Krieff, one of Bass’s sponsors insisted the deal is “100% going forward.”
