TIMBERLAKE BLEW THIS DUDE

Lou Pearlman – that handsome devil above – was the mastermind who created the boy bands *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys and Take 5 (wow that list went downhill fast).  He's had a bad reputation for years, with allegations that he cheated his artists out of royalties and defrauded the IRS.  Now, Vanity Fair says he was also a pedophile who preyed on the boys who worked for him.  Page Six says:

"I would absolutely say the guy was a sexual predator. All the talent knew what Lou's game was," Steve Mooney, an aspiring singer who was Pearlman's assistant, told VF's Bryan Burrough. "Some guys joked about it. I remember [one singer] asking me, 'Have you let Lou [fellate] you yet?' "Mooney said he once asked Pearlman, who was known as "Big Poppa," what it would take for him to get into a band. "I'll never forget this as long as I live. He leaned back in his chair, in his white terry cloth robe and white underwear, and spread his legs," Mooney told Burrough. "And then he said, and these were his exact words, 'You're a smart boy. Figure it out.' " Mooney added that a singer groped by Pearlman told him, "Look, if a guy wants to massage me, and I'm getting a million dollars for it, you just go along with it. It's the price you got to pay."Phoenix Stone, an early member of the Backstreet Boys, tells Vanity Fair Pearlman was "definitely inappropriate" with Nick Carter. Nick's mom, Jane Carter, wouldn't get into specifics, but said, "Certain things happened and it almost destroyed our family. I tried to warn everyone. I tried to warn all the mothers . . . I tried to expose him for what he was years ago."

When asked to comment about the Vanity Fair story, Pearlman said, "bring me Solo and the wookie.  They will all suffer for this outrage, muuhh ha-ha-ha-ha…"
