    Lance Bass, James Hong and Lady Deathstrike

    Lance BassJames Hong with Kelly Hu and friendKelly Hu as Lady DeathstrikeIt's always entertaining to watch confident Valley machers go weak at the knees in the presence of real celebrities. So I wish I'd been at last weekend's U2 concert, in Hawaii, which attracted famous-for-being-gay Lance Bass, Kid Rock, and other performers; techbiz names like Bill Gates, Kleiner's John Doerr, and uber-publicist Brooke Hammerling; and James Hong, who is in a category of his own. He runs online rating-and-dating site, Hot or Not, and he's a serious entrepreneur; but one wouldn't be surprised to find he had a secret addiction to Us Weekly and the celebrity tabs. Hong would like readers to know that Kelly Hu, who played Lady Deathstrike in one of the X-Men movies, is both super hot and super nice; and thanks, Lance, for lending stuff — tanning lotion? — on the beach.
