(Here

At the American Music Awards the Backstreet
Boys topped Santana and 'N Sync for
favorite pop-rock band, duo or group. Not bad guys!
JOHNNY SUEDE
IN DA HOUSE!
AJ appeared on stage as Johnny Suede sitting on a chair,
handcuffed-hands behind his back, with guy in police uniform behind him.
He then ran offstage and changed into the white suit with pinstripe. This
was performed on his birthday at the Hard Rock Cafe. AJ is the first
BSB member to perform solo, but will be followed shortly by Brian who is
singing the national anthem in Lexington at a hockey game. Littrell appeared
with AJ at the Hard Rock to sing two Brian McKnight songs, "Back At One"
and "6,8,12".
LAWSUIT...AGAIN??
The Backstreet Boys are again suing the svengali
who created the band in 1993
and made them all millionaires. Louis J. Pearlman
once reportedly kept more than
50 percent of the group's profits. But the phenomenally
successful "boy band" has
sued Pearlman five times, resulting in three
settlementss. And now, Los Angeles
Daily Journal columnist Ross Johnson reports,
the band has hired top
entertainment lawyer Marty Singer to sue them
again. Singer -- who has repped
the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis
and Sylvester Stallone -- filed
Dec. 1 with the Califormia Labor Commission accusing
Pearlman of repeatedly
violating the California Talent Agencies Act
by functioning as both the group's
manager and its unlicensed talent agent. Singer
wants all contracts and agreements
between the Boys and Pearlman declared null and
void, and he wants all the millions
Pearlman has earned off the band returned, going
back to when they first signed
with his Florida-based Transcontinental Records
in 1993. Pearlman's lawyer,
Michael Friedman, called the Boys' latest legal
action "a desperate attempt to
renegotiate settlement agreements that they signed.
Lou Pearlman honors these
agreements, and so should the Boys." The group
N' Sync, which Pearlman also used to manage, recently settled a $150 million
suit with him.
