Lou Pearlman Dies; Backstreet Boys, "NSync Created Was 62
Lou Pearlman, the infamous record producer who created such boy bands as The Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync, died in prison on Thursday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons record.
He was 62 years old.
The cause of death is believed to have been an undisclosed illness.
Known in during the heyday of his career “Big Poppa,” Pearlman was one of the world’s most successful music producers in the 1990s.
Based in Orlando, he created The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, LFO and O-Town.
In 2000, however, members of The Backstreet Boys filed a lawsuit against their manager, claiming that Pearlman had set up their contract in an unfair manner.
Via court documents, the band alleged that they had only received $ 300,000 …while Pearlman received millions.
Soon afterwards, NSYNC also filed a similar lawsuit, as did Aaron Carter (pictured below with Pearlman) in 2002.
Still, it wasn’t until 2006 when Pearlman got into real legal trouble.
At that time, investigators discovered that he had defrauded investors of over $ 300 million in a Ponzi scheme.
He did so by somehow convincing wealthy investors to put their money into shell corporations that did not exist.
Pearlman fled to Indonesia in response to the charges and was captured in 2007.
A year later, Pearlman pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering, conspiracy and fraud.
He was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, although a judge ruled that Pearlman could reduce his prison time ; for every million he paid back, the judge would take one month off his sentence.
Pearlman never paid a dime.
“Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away,” Lance Bass wrote in response to this news, adding:
“He might not have been a stand-up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today w/out his influence. RIP Lou.”
Pearlman was a diabetic who suffered a stroke in 2010.
“It was definitely a wake-up call,” he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, adding that he had since lost 75 pounds by walking around the prison track.
It’s unclear whether this disease contributed to his death.

Danica Dillon to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: You Created That SEX MONSTER JOSH!
Danica Dillon, the porn star suing Josh Duggar, says Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are to blame for creating a sexual deviant monster.
Josh’s downfall from the golden child – the first of Michelle and Jim Bob’s 19 Kids & Counting – to a pariah has been swift and dramatic.
Molesting underage girls including his sisters, cheating on his wife, being addicted to porn, and being sued for giving a porn star PTSD?
Quite the resume he compiled last year.
To hear Danica Dillon tell it, this all comes from how he was raised and Michelle and Jim Bob are at fault for letting him off the hook.
Oh yes. To her, the issue is upbringing.
“Josh got away with molesting five girls without really getting the help he needed because of his parents’ cover-up,” she says.
“He has obviously gotten so used to people protecting him and lying for him that he feels he should be able to get away with [anything].”
By insisting on dealing with things “in house” and failing to get him the counseling he obviously needed, Danica says it’s all their fault.
She even takes it a step further.
Theorizing that if Duggar had received treatment from professionals and stuck with it, she would not have been assaulted, as she alleges.
Jim Bob and Michelle [Duggar] created a monster. If Josh had received [help then], maybe his attack on me never would have happened.”
For what it’s worth, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s marriage is in crisis, reportedly, over Josh, his bizarre behavior and the epic fallout.
Danica is currently suing Josh for $ 500,000, claiming that Duggar has caused her myriad difficulties, ranging from PTSD to lost wages.
Moreover, Dillon wants to have details on Josh’s sexual history publicized by getting a subpoena from psychologists, among others.
Might such material corroborate her claims of Duggar’s disgusting sexual antics that were recently revealed in court documents?
Josh’s parents, alleges Danica, “made sure that no one would ever see [the reports of Josh’s past behavior from therapists].”
“People will see the pain these young girls suffered at Josh’s hands,” Danica says, if the full details of Josh’s past are revealed.
It should be noted that Josh insists he never even met her despite her repeated claims, and statements that observers saw the couple.
Some reports have hinted at a settlement on the horizon, but so far, the respective legal teams have traded barbs with no end in sight.

RHOC Star Brooks Ayers SLAMS Accusations That He"s "Faking" His Cancer! Claims The Rumors Are Created For THIS Reason!
Why would someone lie about having cancer?!
Well, that’s exactly what Real Housewives of Orange County star Brooks Ayers is trying to clarify — he wouldn’t.
On Monday, Vicki Gunvalson‘s ex confirmed in an interview that he does in fact have cancer — despite the claims made otherwise by co-stars Meghan King Edmonds and Tamra Judge.

He shared:
“I think they do it to create drama. It’s useless drama that brings on stress that quite frankly no one needs and in particular my situation. I’m not running from anything.”
Tell us how you really feel. LOLz!
Though for someone who’s sick with cancer, we could understand how frustrating it must be to be doubted about your illness. Brooks was diagnosed with stage 3 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma back in 2013 but recently revealed that he stopped receiving chemotherapy in order to pursue an alternative form of treatment.
This news obviously became a hot button issue with the ladies of the popular show.
He continued:
“My lesion, my inflammations were gone. Gone! So I’m encouraged. Cancer doesn’t mean I should be lying around in a hospice bed.”
Well, we’re happy to hear that the Bravolebrity is doing much better. In fact, the reality star even took to Twitter to address some Real Housewives fans’ doubt regarding his disease.
He posted:
@Dr_Ali_2010 I’m not faking cancer. Uggh. Please don’t buy into edited reality TV drama for ratings.
— Brooks Ayers (@BrooksAyers) September 22, 2015

It’ll be inneresting to see how this all plays out for the rest of the season. Be sure to ch-ch-check out all the drama on Mondays at 9 p.m. E.T./P.T. on Bravo.
