3:30AM Seth | Orlando-based pop svengali and accredited Boy-Band-Member Sunburn Inspector Lou Pearlman was sentenced today to 25 years in the fed for a decade-long scam that fleeced thousands of investors—including his own relatives—out of $300 million of their savings. It was the maximum sentence, but the judge showed some mercy by offering Pearlman one-month’s deduction for every $1 million he returned. It’s a crushing blow to the former impresario behind NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and O-Town, though we’re certain the born deal-maker will take full advantage of the virtual limitlessly supply of fresh male talent at his new home. Expect an all-con boy band resurgence in the coming years, with groups like Twenty2Life and Lockdown dominating the Billboard charts. [AP] More »

7:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Seeking to protect his good, boy-band-shepherding name, currently incarcerated manager Lou “Big Poppa” Pearlman has reached out to Radar to refute accusations made in the November issue of Vanity Fair that part of his proven hit-making formula included taking his underage charges to strip clubs, giving them the occasional aura-enhancing shoulder-and-ab rub, or sharing funny, Whoops! How did that hardcore pornographic footage get onto this rented Star Wars VHS tape? The guy behind the beaded curtain at Tom’s Triple X Video Shack will be getting a piece of my mind! male-bonding moments. The best of Pearlman’s itemised explanations follow: • On whether he had boys keep things from their parents, showed them porn, or took them to strip clubs: “I never had secrets kept from parents. Especially since at least one parent was always around to chaperone and drive the boys. I never showed any of our artists any porn. In fact, if they stayed in hotels while travelling with us, we prohibited minors from accessing those channels. What strip club do you know that would let minors in? Therefore, NO, I never took any minors to strip clubs.” More »
