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.

37. Wow, TMZ. You are so vain. Did you know people are dying in Darfur? People are dying from disease around the world. Innocent lives are taken away. And all you can focus your attention on is what two words Britney Spears or some celebrity muttered? You disgust me. I know you probably get a ton of a hate mail. But everyone a part of TMZ, the paparazzi the people on TMZ on FOX (oh yeah, FOX is such an amazin channel) should do more productive things in your lives and make a difference. How about having a post about world wide crisis ONCE in a while (like global warming). I know this is a celebrity site, but with the amount of views you get, please, try to make a little difference.

38. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other news outlets that will give you the hard stuff. If you're looking for something deeper, go to the New York Times. Don't bring my guilty pleasure in TMZ down by knocking them for bringing us celebrity crap. And, don't condescend. Acting like you're intellectually, socially, and morally superior on a gossip site is pretty sad.

42.
OBAMA - WILLIAM (BILL) AYERS CONNECTION?????

BILL AYERS IS THE MAN MENTIONED IN JOHAH GOLDBERG'S BESTSELLER. MR. AYERS SENT BOMBS TO THE PENTAGON IN THE 70'S AND BRAGGED AS LATE AS 2001 THAT HE REGRETTED NOT HAVING DONE MORE TO HARM FEDERAL OFFICES, INCLUDING A POLICE HEADQUARTERS. HE GOT AWAY ON A TECHNICALITY, HOWEVER OBAMA AND BILL AYERS LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND REMAINE FRIENDS.

RECENTLY, OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER WILL ONLY SAY THAT THEY "ARE FRIENDS."
THIS IS NEWS THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE PRIVY TO, SO WHY ISNT TMZ COVERING IT?

43. He looks just like Karl Rove.

44. Why do some people feel the need to call him a pedo when he has done nothing to warrant that? Just because he's made millions from "boy bands" does not mean he's gay or a pedo. You people are just mindless haters.
