Sneak Peek Of VH1's Mission: Manband

While Lou Pearlman (whose name we are legally required to couple with the phrase "boy band impresario") sits behind bars as attorneys prepare to defend his Ponzi scheme, some of the pop Jabba's notable clients are about to join forces. On reality TV!

VH1 created a boy band all star team, a la last year's SuperGroup. Chris Kirkpatrick ('N Sync), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees), Rich Cronin (LFO), and Bryan Abrams (Color Me Badd) were all chosen to live in Kirkpatrick's home in Orlando, where they would dance and sing and talk shit about Justin Timberlake and Nick Lachey.

They're called Sureshot.

Go to myspace.com/sureshotband and watch the promo that's below the then-and-now pics. This series could be a rather enjoyable trainwreck, if we remember to Tivo it. The clip's not embeddable, so we'll take this opportunity to revisit your favorite video of all time instead.

Favorite lyric? Hard to pick. LFO, of course, was an acronym for Lyte Funky Ones.

Was it ever socially acceptable for white frat guys — or anybody, for that mater — to use the word "buggin'"?

Oh man, I love that song.

Those girls that dance in the background frequently look so miserable.
