Former ‘N SYNC star J.C. CHASEZ is working with the enemy after signing on to write tracks for the BACKSTREET BOYS.

Back in the day, the two boy bands were hot chart rivals, but now Chasez is
helping his former foes hit the high notes again.

Chasez, who recently parted ways with record label Jive, is collaborating
with the Backstreet Boys on new song Treat Me Right for their upcoming album, Unbreakable.

The pop star is writing the new track with Nick Carter and A.J. McLean, who
calls the former ‘N Sync star “one of the most talented songwriters I have ever
worked with.” (KL/ITC/LJ)

Former ‘N SYNC singer LANCE BASS insists he is “just friends” with his reported new boyfriend, model Pedro Andrade, although he admits the pair have been on a few dates.

Bass, who ‘came out’ as a homosexual last year (06), split with his reality television star lover Reichen Lehmkuhl in January (07) and believes it’s too soon to start another relationship.

He tells UsMagazine.com, “He’s just a friend. We are just friends now.

“I guess you can say we’re dating because we’ve been on multiple dates, but it’s nothing exclusive. I’m freshly out of a relationship.” (GES/US/MEH)

Former boy band ‘N SYNC are being sued over claims they plagiarized a song on their 2001 album Celebrity.

In a lawsuit filed on Monday in Las Vegas Federal Court, Troy Alexander alleges he met the band’s record label Jive in 1990 and gave them a demo tape for his song Up Against The Wall.

According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the band – Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake – released a track with the same title “substantially similar” to the demo.

A spokesperson for Jive records reveals they are not aware of the claim and have not been served with any papers.

‘N Sync split in 2002.
