Lou Pearlman to Testify Against Teen
Jailed boy-band svengali Lou Pearlman has a malfunctioning lightbulb hanging from the end of his long tunnel of incarceration and repaying the people he swindled millions from: He’s turning informant! The man who brought the world ‘N Sync, the Backstreet Boys, and a lot of failed development in the Orlando area will testify against Davin Smith, a 19-year-old who’s accused of shooting a police officer; despite pleading not guilty, Smith apparently talked openly about his crime while standing within earshot of Pearlman. I guess this story won’t end with Pearlman rehabbing Smith’s image into that of a squeaky-clean boybander, huh? [AP; HT Jon Solomon]
