* Why I Love Him
I have not had the pleasure of meeting Lance however I heard that he is a true gentleman. That alone is SEXY!!!! Not sure what happended with him and Eva. I actually thought they made a very cute couple but who knows…celebrities have the same issues that us regular folks have! I missed Lance when he was here for Classic Wknd. Did you get to meet him? If so, what did you think?
