Blame it on the lip sync
You've seen the "Behind the Music," and now everyone's favorite lip syncing duo is apparently the subject of a forthcoming feature film.
From my inbox:
Tony Catania spent 3 years on the inside with German producer Frank Farian when the song "Girl you know its true" was written, produced, and performed by "Milli Vanilli". The world now knows that Milli Vanilli was actually lip syncing the songs America fell in love with, but what was going on behind the scenes? What were the performers, managers, and inside circle saying and doing in the days leading up to and following the most embarrassing outing in entertainment history?
Tony Catania is one of only a handful of people who know the real story. The subject is the plot on a new Universal pictures feature film currently in production directed by Jeff Nathanson, however your audience need not wait for the movie to hear the behind the scene secrets. Tony, who's currently putting the final touches to the upcoming album of Naples alternative Band sensation "Phoenix Block," is sharing his first hand account with fans across the country in a series of media interviews.
OK, the release is a bit sketchy, and seems to be as much for Catania's (which, BTW, who the hell is Catania? Some producer, as far as I can tell) new band as whatever film project is in the works.
This is what Phoenix Block sounds like. Pretty crappy.
And, if you need a refresher, here's the Wikipedia history of Milli Vanilli.
And, below is what I thought was my favorite Milli Vanilli song.
... which is actually "I Wanna Be Rich," by Calloway. In my defense, it came out at about the same time as MV was hitting it big. And I was nine at the time.

Milli Vanilli always puts out good music, but "All Or Nothing" is untouchable. A classic!
