A couple that's near and dear to so many of you – especially you nobodies in Provincetown who knew of their relationship weeks ahead of Bonnie Fuller – is reportedly calling it quits. Retired pop star Lance Bass and Amazing Race winner-cum-author Reichen Lehmkuhl are ending the affair that gave T.R. Knight and Neil Patrick Harris the courage to face Hollywood's snide looks. But hey, at least it'll boost book sales.

With Lance Bass' coming out in this week's People magazine, the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association fired off a missive to news outlets across the country with hopes they wouldn't do the typical media thing like label Lance's coming out an "admission" or refer to his "lifestyle." Or, you know, call him a nelly bottom fag. Gay brother Queerty brings us the specifics:

The term "gay" is the preferred adjective that has largely replaced "homosexual" in referring to men who are sexually and affectionally attracted to other men. "Homosexual" should be used only if "heterosexual" would be used in parallel constructions, such as in medical contexts.

Whether in headlines, teases, or body copy, try to avoid using forms of the word "admit," which is typically used in the context of something shameful or illegal. Some examples of less potentially charged words are "announce," "disclose" and "say."

Also, be aware that the Associated Press Stylebook recommends avoiding the term "lifestyle" when referring to someone's sexual orientation. In this context, "lifestyle" suggests that gays and lesbians — not to mention bisexuals and transgender people — think and act the same way. In fact, there is no "gay lifestyle" or "alternative lifestyle" just as there is no "straight lifestyle."

To sum up, this is good: "Lance Bass announced he's gay and in a relationship with Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl."

This is bad: "Lance Bass admitted he's been a closeted queer his whole life, longing for Justin Timberlake's loins and JC Chasez's lips. Now he's shamefully owning up to the fact that he's a pussy power bottom."

• Michael Jackson juror-cum-tell-all-er Ray Hultman is reneging on a decision — again. First he went back on his vote for acquittal to hype his upcoming trial tome and now he's trying to get out of that very book deal, claiming publisher Larry Garrison schemed them into a contract. He suing to escape, asking for damages for mental and emotional stress. And we'd like them too.
