Lou Pearlman Arrested In Indonesia

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Lou Pearlman, the Orlando boy-band mogul, was taken into custody by the FBI early this morning in Indonesia. Authorities in that country expelled Pearlman and then turned him over to U.S. authorities. “We are aware that he is in the custody of the FBI, I can’t comment beyond that,” said Steve Cole, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa. Meanwhile, Pearlman’s band US5 are set to release their new single ‘Rhythm Of Life’ in Germany on Friday and his other act, Streetwize, indicate they have no label.
