Don't look for Lance Bass to follow in Justin Timberlake's solo footsteps.

The Dancing With the Stars contestant has no plans of ever releasing his own CD.

"I would never do a solo album," he said at the One Sunset restaurant party in L.A. last Thursday. "It would be fun maybe to do a song here and there, but to put a whole album together would be so stressful and take so much time."

Besides, he added, "who knows if it would even be a success? The music industry is such a crapshoot these days."

While Bass said he's been focused more on the producing side of movie and television projects, he admitted his time on DWTS has him thinking it may be time to get back to performing. "I'm enjoying being back in front of the camera. It's nice," he said. "After this, I'm hoping to do a sitcom or something like that."

Hopefully, things in the future will go as smoothly as they have on DWTS. "The judges aren't responding the way I wanted them to respond to our style, but I think what we lack with the judges, the fans really like," Bass said of his ballroom bump-and-grinds with Lacey Schwimmer. "They want us to stay on...You know, I'm here to entertain people, not to win anything. So I guess I'm good at my job."
