For fans of boy bands like Backstreet Boys and Nsync, the ‘90s (and early 2000s) were quite a time to be alive. While many boy band fans knew all there was to know about each pop group’s members and tour dates, the details surrounding Lou Pearmlan may be vague. Now, Pearlman, widely thought of as the father of the pop boy band scene, is the focus of a new Netflix documentary, Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam. The three-part series seeks to fill in the blanks for fans who may have been a bit young to understand why Pearlman made headlines and, later, ended up in jail.

One of the two executive producers of Dirty Pop is Michael Johnson, a drummer and former member of one of Pearlman’s boy bands, Natural. Johnson appears in the documentary, along with fellow Natural member Patrick King, Nsync’s Chris Kirkpatrick, O-Town’s Erik-Michael Estrada,...

Michael Johnson rejected Lou Pearlman's proposal to join New Natural post-Natural breakup in 2004. Johnson formed Lukewarm Freeda with Natural's Mike Castonguay after rejecting Pearlman's offer. Johnson is currently dating actress Anna Camp.

Netflix's Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam details the crimes and schemes of Lou Pearlman, a talent manager, and Michael Johnson, one of Pearlman's clients in the late 1990s to early 2000s, is featured in the docuseries. Pearlman discovered the boy band Natural, which consisted of Johnson (drums), Ben Bledsoe (vocals and bass), Marc Terenzi (vocals and guitar), Michael "J" Horn (vocals and piano), and Patrick King (guitar). The group signed with Transcontinental Records, and the rest is history. Unfortunately, while Natural was successful in its own right, the band never reached the heights of Pearlman's other clients the Backstreet Boys and *Nsync.

On August 19, 2016, Lou Pearlman died from cardiac arrest while in custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Miami,...

Carrie Bradshaw is moving on in the return of And Just Like That.

The official trailer for season two of the hit HBO sequel series to Sex and the City picks up more than one year after Big’s (Chris Noth) sudden death and sees Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) focused on moving on. Not only has she realized how to use her kitchen (“Did you know stoves aren’t just for storage?” she asks), but she’s also dating and reaching out to the former flame that viewers have been waiting for.

Toward the end of the nearly two-minute first look (below), Carrie sends Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) an email. A closer look reveals the note reads: “Hey Stranger … Remember me? If this is still your email, it’s me — Carrie. Was just thinking about you the other day … and I wondered how you were doing. So, how ya doing?...

Carol Vorderman has opened up about her romantic life and shared advice for dating multiple people at one time.

The 62-year-old former Countdown host appeared on Monday’s instalment of This Morning (23 January), explaining that she is single but has “special friends” who she is romantically involved with.

Earlier this month, Vorderman previously revealed to This Morning‘s Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary that she had five special friends. The star returned to screens on Tuesday to discuss her approach further and offer up advice to viewers.

Vorderman explained to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that everyone involved needs to be single, which is a “critical part” of the arrangement. Explaining how she met her “special friends”, she said: “It’s come about naturally and I don’t want to settle with anyone.”

Vorderman revealed that she has known those involved for several years, one of which she has been friends with for 11 years.
