Is Nick Carter Getting a Cut of These Sales? Debra LaFave's Ex Has a Tell-All

The timing of this is a little too close for me not to become suspicious. Less than a week after Nick Carter dragged Debra LaFave's name out of obscurity -- admitting he lost his virginity to the Florida schoolteacher who was, years later, charged with having sex with her 14-year-old-student -- LaFave's ex-husband, Owen, begins his publicity tour for Gorgeous Disaster: The Shocking Story of Debra LaFave.

In the book, Owen says, "In hindsight, I made bad decisions. There were red flags. I put up with her emotional issues. She was pretty. I felt I had to save her . . . I guess I should have walked away."

You have to admit it's strange. Two weeks ago, no one remembered who Debra LaFave was, but last week she rode Nick Carter full-force into the blogosphere, priming us all for Owen's book. Curious.
