B2K Member Alleges Molestation By Male Manager And Marques Houston

Chris Stokes and Raz-B

Raz-B, the former member of the now defunct R&B boyband, B2K, has made serious allegations of molestation, by the quintet's former manager, Chris Stokes and R&B singer/actor, Marques Houston.

Houston was a member of the group Immature, which later became, IMX. They too were managed as underage youth, by Chris Stokes. Previously, Raz-B made allegations that a twenty-something Stokes, molested him as an underage youth in the music group.

However, he retracted his statements when questioned by police, stating Stokes is affiliated with violent street gang members in Los Angeles and he is being threatened into not saying anything more about the molestation.

Raz-B is not the first former boyband member to claim sexual harassment by a manager. Several former, pop boyband members, have accused Lou Pearlman, of sexually harassing and touching them when they were underage singers.

The late, Rich Cronin, of the band, LFO, stated he had to go to therapy, because of the damage Pearlman inflicted on him as a young singer on his label. Numerous people in their circle made claims Pearlman also went after a young, Nick Carter and AJ McClean, of the Backstreet Boys.

Celluloid Film Review - Pop Star

Note: this post was illegally hacked by Madonna's crazy Kabbalah hackers at Digilink, who erased items from the review. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Title: Pop Star

Year Of Release: 2005

Review Date: September 30, 2010

Rating: PG

Running time: 94 minutes

Box Office Gross: N/A

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

Pop star Aaron Carter, stars as what else, a pop star, in a film called, well, "Pop Star." Carter plays, J.D. McQueen, a teen pop singer, who decided to drop the tutors and go to a regular high school, as being a child star, his grades begin to suffer.

He meets pretty, Alan Austin, a very intelligent, yet somewhat geeky, high school student that makes great grades. He asks her to tutor him and she accepts, hoping he will fall in love with her. A few problems do arise, but I won't ruin the ending for you (like you're really gonna watch it) but it is a cute one, albeit cheesier than cheddar.

However, this movie kind of disturbed me, because Lou Perlman is in it, as he financed it. As some of you may know at this point, Perlman is in jail for running a massive ponzi scheme and even worse, the teenage boybands he used to manage, have since stated in interviews, he would sexually prey on some of them. Do keep in mind, some of these boys were underage at the time.
