If looks reveal a person's inner character, then boy-band enterpreneur and scam-artist Lou Pearlman's new title of "pervert boy-lover" is apropros.

I mean just look at that guy. And no, I am not referring to his fat, obese and bloated countenance, which is in itself extremely disgusting, but rather his overt creepiness. Some things (like a person's overt creepiness) comes shining through from the inside out. And from the looks of it, this guy's insides were putrid decaying layers of perverse thoughts.

In a forthcoming Vanity Fair article, insiders and those who've dealt with Pearlman in the past, have come forward revealing some ugly truths about the man behind famous boy-bands like N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys. CBSNews reports:

None of these kids will ever admit anything happened," one attorney who has sued Pearlman in a contract dispute tells special correspondent Bryan Burrough. "They're all too ashamed, and if the truth came out it would ruin their careers."

The article details Pearlman's rise to power through his aviation and music ventures followed by his crushing downfall amid lawsuits from former band members and fraud charges that have landed him in a Florida jail. Insiders tell stories of Pearlman showing pornographic films to his young talent, greeting guests at the door wearing only a towel, and inappropriate touching including massages to balance one young man's "aura."

While some deny anything improper ever happened, Burrough talks with former Pearlman proteges and their parents. One former assistant, who wanted desperately to be in one of Pearlman's bands, says that many involved knew of Pearlman's alleged predilections.

"I would absolutely say the guy was a sexual predator," Pearlman's former assistant Steve Mooney says. "All the talent knew what Lou's game was. If they say no, they're lying to you."
