"But the conduct described did not rise to the level of a sexual assault or battery that we could successfully prosecute."

Milli Vanilli's Rob Pilatus admitted Thursday in Los Angeles that neither he nor partner Fab Morvan sang a note on the duo's multimillion-selling 1988 album "Girl You Know It's True."

Milli Vanilli could lose the award, an unprecedented action.

A member of the disgraced pop music duo Milli Vanilli slashed his wrist, gulped prescription pills and then dangled from a ninth-floor hotel balcony Saturday before a Times switchboard operator and sheriff's deputies teamed up to save his life, authorities said.

"And now the Moment of Truth!" says Frank Farian, creator of Milli Vanilli, inventor of Rob and Fab, the pretty faces who--can you believe it!--people actually thought were singing. Farian, the German producer who blew the whistle last month on his own fraud, swivels around from his 84-track mixing console, the Pontiac-size machine on which Milli Vanilli was really made, and furnishes the promised honest-to-God truth. It's a record album.

Robert Pilatus, half of the disgraced duo Milli Vanilli, continued to fall from his brief celebrity on Friday, with authorities announcing that he had abandoned a North Hollywood rehabilitation facility and is being sought on a $60,000 arrest warrant.
