DMX Gets Into Role-Playing

So there's an interview with the perpetually troubled MC DMX up on the Web site of Complex today, and as you would expect from a man who's up on animal-cruelty charges and using fake names on hospital bills, it's full of classy bits about sex and speeding (although he claims he exceeds the maximum MPH while driving much nicer cars than the ones he's been caught in by traffic cameras). But there's one bit that made me wonder if he's actually using the word "groupie" as code for the term "police officer": More »

To Catch A Predator "A French youth has been charged with posing online as the star of teen rock band Tokio Hotel to trick young girls into sending him nude photos, police said Friday.... He convinced several to send him nude photographs, some sexually explicit, which he went on to publish on the Internet." Some of the girls were as young as 11. Stories like this make me convinced that everyone should read this story on trolling before sending out e-nudes. I mean, honestly. [AFP]

The Definitive Word On That Pete Burns Sex Tape (And Pop Culture In 2008) "I just wish it was 1987 again, and Pete was still signed to a major and making great pop records. All this reality TV shit has killed a part of him. He was one of pop's greatest mysteries at one time, now he's on the internet getting rimmed... *inserts sad face*" [Popjustice]

Sweaty Ghost Of Rick James Helps Celeb Sex Tape Industry Reach New Low

A sex tape worse than Gene Simmons'? Is that even possible? Well, what if the aging, bloated cocksman in question was almost dead? Some reputable operation is preparing to auction off a videotape of Rick James smoking the reefer, giving it to a superfreak, and singing a ditty titled "Don't Forget Me, I'm Rick James, Bitch" shortly before his passing in 2004. Oh, and its all filmed in night vision. None of the clips released so far feature any visible sex, and we're already barfing. More »

This Whole B2K Thing Is Getting Weirder And Weirder

Earlier this afternoon, our post about Raz B's half-hearted denial of his earlier allegations that his former manager, Chris Stokes, forced him and his bandmates in B2K (shown here in, uh, "happier" times) into orgies and other sex games—and the possibility that said denial could in fact serve as the denoument to this sordid affair—garnered this comment from a reader:

This story is sooo not over. Now Raz B's brother is saying that the LA Crips gang forced his brother to say those things at gunpoint and Raz B has been missing for 2 days. The whole thing is wild, just wild.

I thought that the commenter was joking, but both stories actually came straight from Raz B's brother, a.k.a. Ricky Romance, via the gossip site Bossip, which is apparently doing further legwork on that side of the story. Meanwhile, people claiming to be Raz B and his management have taken to their MySpace bulletins, as a reader of Oh No They Didn't found out:

B2K Member Reveals That The Boy Band Life Included Lots Of Forced Sex

Raz B, real name De'Mario Monte Thornton and former member of the well-chiseled boy band B2K, posted a couple of videos on YouTube today that were filled with allegations regarding former B2K managers Chris Stokes and Marques Houston. Well, really, there was one big j'accuse: According to Raz B, Stokes and Houston "forced the boys of B2K into orgies with managers, agents, friends and each other," a practice that apparently went on almost daily until the group disbanded. For those of you who don't feel like squirming through the clips and who just want the dirt (as it were), a helpful reader of the gossip community Oh No They Didn't has summarized them in netspeak: More »

The Backstreet Boys Refuse To Divulge Whether Or Not Lou Pearlman Got A Little Too Touchy-Feely

Pervy, Ponzi-scheming boy band svengali Lou Pearlman had enough to worry about with that pesky trial for fraud before Vanity Fair implicated him as "a habitual sexual predator — harassing, abusing or worse — the teenage boys in his charge." One of the most well-known among Pearlman's alleged victims was the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter, and in an interview with MTV, Carter and the BSB's freely admit that Pearlman is a giant knob when it comes to managing bands, while continuing to dance arond the most serious allegations leveled at him.

In case you didn't get squicked out enough by the revelations that Lou Pearlman liked his boy-band charges for reasons that had little to do with their voices reprinted by Page Six earlier this week, Vanity Fair has put its entire profile of the former impresario online. (I stopped counting the number of cringeworthy allegations when I hit double digits.) [Vanity Fair]

Boy-Band Svengali Even Sleazier Than Previously Thought

The upcoming issue of Vanity Fair will take a look at the predilections of disgraced boy-band maestro Lou Pearlman—currently cooling his jets in a Florida jail while awaiting a trial on bank fraud charges—and you may be shocked to hear that his interests in young men went beyond their abilities to sing, dance, and make the little girls cry. In addition to allegations that he was "definitely inappropriate" with the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter and a description of his clumsy pickup techniques (one person recalls him spreading his legs while wearing a white terrycloth robe and matching underwear, then uttering the not-quite-Mae-Westian come-on "You're a smart boy. Figure it out."), ex-members of lesser boy-band lights recall events that echo the very special Gordon Jump episode of Diff'rent Strokes: More »
