Lance Bass Calls Out Chris Brown

(Celebuzz) Lance Bass is calling Chris Brown out about a certain word the R&B star should toss from his vernacular.

After a history of the letting the word "f**got" fly, whether it be in his hit "Look At Me Now" or an alleged attack on a fan, Brown has again come under fire for the homophobic slur. In the wake of Brown's brawl with hip-hop artist Frank Ocean in late January, Ocean — who came out in late July — revealed to investigators that he was called the "f" word by a member of Breezy's crew during the fray. And that simply doesn't sit well with the openly gay Bass.

"Calling people faggot and that stuff, I mean, he may not even mean what he means, but it's a derogatory term that people throw out there and without even knowing why they are saying it," Bass told Celebuzz. "But when it comes to Frank Ocean and knowing that he's … very out … it was definitely meant to hurt him. It's never good to throw those words out there that mean so much."

And it upsets Bass all the more that the slur is being thrown around by a minority. "[Brown] should understand that being a black man himself. He should know that the F word is just like calling you the N word in a very derogatory way," Bass said. "When you come from a minority like that, being gay or black or whatever, it's like there should be an understanding, like we all get each other. But you don't see that a lot, which is really sad."

The "f" bomb adds to Brown's already-lengthy track record of a bloody bar brawl, a foul-languaged Twitter feud, a controversial Halloween costume, and an ever-eyebrow-raising love life. And though Ocean opted not to press charges — and authorities will soon close the clash case — the "Don't Wake Me Up" singer landed in more hot water Tuesday when the Los Angeles Country district attorney's office accused him of falsifying court-ordered community service filings

Given Brown's brushes with the law — dating back to his 2009 felony assault of recently reconciled girlfriendRihanna — Bass sees the singer striding down a bad path.

"I think there are a lot of people out there that have anger issues, and you can definitely see that in Chris Brown. I hope he gets the help he needs," said the former 'N Sync member, who now hosts a live SiriusXM radio show called Dirty Pop with Lance Bass. "I hope Rihanna understands what she is in. I see it happen so many times in couples, where it's like an abusive relationship and you don't know it's an abusive relationship."

"I know he's just doing some dumb moves right now," Bass continued. "I think he needs to take responsibility for it. I don't know if it's drugs and alcohol and that type of stuff, but I really hope he comes to think that he's really making dumb decisions right now." more on this story
