"Suddenly Susan" Comedienne Flaunts Her 'N Sync Fixation

If you've got it bad for one of the dreamboats in 'N Sync, you now have some high profile company. Kathy Griffin, red-headed co-star of the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan," spent at least a portion of her time at this year's Sundance Film Festival chatting about 'N Sync's Joey Fatone. Griffin was in Utah to promote her new movie "Dill Scallion" at the festival, and told MTV News' Chris Connelly, "I am in a relationship, a serious relationship, we're hoping to get the cover of 'People,' with Joey from 'N Sync and I'm hoping that there's a cover of Joey and I spooning on a hammock in the backyard of my Beverly Hills mansion. I think it's got a future. Joey's 21, and he thinks I'm 28, and that's fine for everybody, so I think those kids have a future." When asked about her alleged beau's thoughts on a scene in "Dill Scallion" where she curses out co-star Lauren Graham, Griffin added, "Joey doesn't know I curse. He says nice ladies don't do dirty things, and I say thank you Jesus... we're getting along just fine, but don't let Lance hear because he is jealous." "Who's Lance? Is that Backstreet Boys?" Graham interjected. "Can you believe she just said that?" Griffin incredulously quipped. "Backstreet Boys? She doesn't even know Lance from JC?" So what does Joey have to say about all of this? Well, he spoke with MTV News' John Norris via telephone on Thursday from London where the group was taping an appearance on "Top of the Pops." Joey noted that he and Griffin have been, "married four years, have three kids, and live in Omaha, Nebraska." Joey than admitted that 'N Sync met Griffin at the Billboard Awards recently, and the comedienne "likes to bust our chops."
