Former Backstreet Boys/N’ Sync Boss Busted in Bali

6/15/07, 10:40 am EST


Lou Pearlman’s life on the lam has come to its sad, predictable close: he was picked up by Indonesian cops yesterday at a tourist resort in Bali. For viewers at home who are just tuning in, Pearlman had fled the country after the FBI alleged that he bilked investors – many of them Florida retirees – in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

I didn’t know Jabba the Hut managed the Backstreet Boys . . .

what a creepy dude…ewwww

looks like Chris Farley warmed over!

I thought they were going to say he was caught with a young boy over there like Gary Glitter in Bangkok.

I hope he gets exactly what he deserves. Bilking retirees is bad, but he should fry for manufacturing boy bands.

All you have to do is take one look at the guy, and you get this overwhelming feeling of creepiness. It’s like you can tell this is one greedy man who will do anything to make money. Naturally, he made tons of money off of manufactured pop music acts. Sadly, more men like him are in control in the music industry, causing more and more substance-less music to be fed to the public simply because it will earn them more millions. A change needs to be made.

Wasn’t this guy involved with Chippendales before boy bands? And he was hiding out in Indonesia? Something makes me thing he was up to much worse things over there than the Ponzi scheme here in the US. Fucking loathesome.

The Lawyer | 6/15/2007, 12:02 pm EST

They should throw that fat greedy bastard in federal prison!!! Or, they should make him live the Amish or Orthodox Jewish lifestyle, which is probably as bad as Federal prison from what i’ve read in fortune cookies.

For some reason I can still picture an oscar (okay Golden Globe) winning movie based on his life… I see Phillip Seymour Hoffman + 100 lbs. I think PSH is a fine actor and could make that scum extremely likable!

B. Breeg | 6/15/2007, 12:24 pm EST

at least he’s looking good.

No good... | 6/15/2007, 12:57 pm EST

He didn’t do it. All he ever wanted was to make great music and nail Indonesian 12 year old boys.

Cheesecrop | 6/15/2007, 12:58 pm EST

10 years ago the boy bands were the hottest thing around. How could you blow it so badly! Surely you saved a couple bucks for that proverbial rainy day. Or do those of us who have normal jobs w/ normal incomes make too much sense?

Joe | 6/15/2007, 1:30 pm EST

OH MY HAMBURGER! WHAT A BLIMP!!! This guy is an absolute whale. How do you get that size? He must just spend his entire life sitting and eating fried foods. Wow. That’s astonishing.

Joe | 6/15/2007, 1:41 pm EST

How does that guy live? I guarantee he hasn’t seen his penis since the Carter administration. Like seriously, how does he do anything more laborious then breathing…seems like it would be impossible.

staindpearlygirl | 6/15/2007, 2:30 pm EST

Another loser….and like the article says so predictable that he ended up this way. I am not a fan of boybands, but my daughters were growing up back in the 90’s & I remember this dude putting the screws to BSB & NSYNC. What comes around goes around Louie Boy!

this dude's lame | 6/15/2007, 3:17 pm EST

will he be the first guy to be a victim of “neck fat rape” in prison?

Marty P. | 6/15/2007, 5:21 pm EST

I bet his butt is smelly all the time !

rogerfuckinblack | 6/15/2007, 5:35 pm EST

paris hilton in jail,joe francis is in jail (for a looong time), kelly clarkson cancels tour, lindsay lohan’s in rehab and lou pearlman’s fat, broke and in jail… BEST WEEK EVER!!!!!!

Jeff | 6/15/2007, 6:22 pm EST

Just because a guy is morbidly obese, steals money from retirees and boy bands, and hides out from the FBI in Bali doesn’t mean he’s a criminal.

Besides, those 12-year old boys in Indonesia were asking for it.

dupacrash | 6/15/2007, 7:29 pm EST

gee, he looks so trustworthy.

Jon B. | 6/15/2007, 8:45 pm EST

Dude, remember Making the band with P. Diddy? They auditioned a bunch of managers when the group was fully formed and he was one of them. Even those people were smart enough to turn him down. Not The Backstreet Bitches. Even N*sync was smart enough to get the fuck out, and right after they did, their biggest album was released. You can tell with one look at this photograph he looks just like a parasite who has clearly been feeding on the feeble-minded for too long. I hope more people like Rick Rubin get jobs.

Sarah | 6/15/2007, 10:24 pm EST

you’d think with all the cash he has, he’d at least have a gym membership.

This guy reminds me of my boss…

jontowel | 6/16/2007, 12:08 pm EST

Jeff’s comment that “those 12 years old Indonesian boys were asking for it” was just rascist and offensives. Would you say the same if these boys were Texan or any other place in US ?

Jeff | 6/17/2007, 11:13 pm EST

Jontowel, I make jokes just for people like you. Priceless.

thomas | 6/17/2007, 11:43 pm EST

How is it that he and Karl Rove are not related?
A galaxy is missing thier Jabba-the-Hut.

Dutch Cousins Rock | 6/18/2007, 5:43 pm EST

I can’t imagine that guy being on the run from the law… On the walk at best.

I don’t trust fatties.

Sarah | 6/23/2007, 7:21 pm EST

serves him right… at least BSB sewed and got their money from him :)
