Boy Band Czar Cuts a Deal

Lou PearlmanLou Pearlman, best known for his work with boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, struck a plea deal in his federal bank fraud case and will work with prosecutors to help recover millions of dollars he is accused of stealing.

Pearlman allegedly defrauded banks out of more than $100 million and stole another $300 mil from investors. Psssh -- chump change!

He entered a not guilty plea last year, but will change his plea to guilty in a hearing scheduled for Thursday. As for jail time, that's for a judge to decide.

First, he couldn't grab his legs, secondly, is his head going to explode? Third, his ass has got to do some serious time.

That fat bastard used to live around the corner from me. His ex-house is like a pedophiles dream, volleyball court ,basketball,waterfall etc. Whatever he could do to get the boys outside and sweaty. Orlando politicians bent over hard for this con man.

#3--Ali--no dear, we don't hate "first" people here---we feel sorry for them. We wonder why their lives are so boring that being "first" on TMZ is exciting to them. We wonder why they don't get a life, so it won't matter anymore.
