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 settlements. 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.
