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.

Bravo spoke with Richie Stringini, joined by his US5 bandmates Jay Kahn, Mikel Johnson, Izzy Gallegos, and Chris Watrin after the singer returned to Germany on Thursday night. Stringini talked about why his parents wouldn’t allow him to return to the group, his shock about the level of support he received from fans, how he didn’t have contact with his bandmates during the ordeal, how he spent the holidays, and more.

Bravo has since removed the video.
