Why is Aaron Carter <\/strong>performing at gay pride festivals?  Not that he shouldn’t.  I think it’s fine.  Not only am I unclear why a gay organization would want Aaron Carter to sing, I’m not sure why anyone would want to see him!  I hear he did OK at Phoenix Pride<\/em>.  But leading up to LA Pride<\/em>, someone asked him if he was worried about any terrorism or violence.  He said, “No, I’ll shoot back!”  Well, this caused quite a bit of concern – as someone who hosted LA Pride <\/em>more than anyone in the festival’s history, I can tell you I would not have been too thrilled to have someone with a pistol in his pocket on my bill.  The organizers got him to retract the statement.  “I won’t pack heat at LA Pride<\/em>.  Emotions got me.”  Days after the event, he landed in the hospital looking like Spawn of Skeletor<\/em><\/strong> – should anyone be making such a movie.  This led some skinny shaming – yeah, like that’s a bad thing.  “A grown woman was gossiping about me when I have a eating disorder, telling people I need to eat 5 cheeseburgers cause I look like I’m dying.  This is body shaming.  You guys are bullying me.”  At least they didn’t have a gun!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Aaron’s brother Nick <\/strong>is part of ABC<\/em>‘s pretty lame Boy Band<\/em><\/strong> show with Baby Bunton<\/strong>, Timbaland<\/strong>, and Rita Ora<\/strong>.  Nick still looks good and has some interesting things to say.  But so far, I can’t imagine any of these people will become stars.  That said, I’ll watch for a couple more weeks and pray they come up with a contestant who grabs me.<\/p>\n

No word on whether Nick or Aaron Carter are participating on The Lou Pearlman Story<\/em><\/strong>, which is being produced as a limited series by Desmond Child <\/strong>and Andreas Carlsson<\/strong>.  You remember Big Lou as the guy (literally) behind Backstreet Boys<\/em><\/strong>, NSync<\/em><\/strong>, O-Town<\/em><\/strong>, and oodles of other pre-pubescent boy bands.  He had a particular fondness for Nick Carter, which his mom says is still difficult for Nick to talk about.  And don’t get me started about all those videos of Ashley Parker Angel <\/strong>from O-Town <\/em>in the shower.  Sigh…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
