NICK CARTER ALSO DEALS WITH WEIGHT ISSUES.UPDATED:3-27
NICK THANGS
Nick's style is pretty down-to-earth. Let's face it, he would look good in a garbage sacj, so he doesn't really have to try too hard. His blond hair is one aspect of his appearance that does tend to change from month to month-for ages it was long and floppy, then it gradually got ahorter and he is currently wearing it messed-up with white blond highlights. Nick says he aims for an image that is as normal as possible so that fans can relate to him-anything classic with a sporty or preppie twist and Nick is happy.
Many people might think that the youngest BSB member Nick Carter, has evrything. I mean after all he is rich, he is in the biggest international group in this history, but that might not be enough for Nick Carter. Nick wants a flat tummy. "I have always hated my stomach......I've got my dad's stomach.
Mr. Carter admitts that when he Has time off and nothing to do he sometimes over eats. "I end up playing video games, watching t.v. and over eating," says Nick. This is bad for Nick Carter, because it has fans asking, "HAS NICK GOTTEN FAT!" "Sometimes people comment on how I look, like I've gained weight, which hurts," Nick admits. Well he might needs to do some sit-ups every once in a while, but he is still one of the cutest BSB members. Also its his voice that matters not his looks.

WHAT IF THERE WERE NO BACKSTREET BOYS, NICK CARTER?
It's a thought almost too horrible to imagine. But what if Nick had never joined up with the BACKSTREET BOYS? What would he be doing today? We looked deep, deep into our crystal ball and saw what could've been. Without a song in his heart, Nick's love for the water would have continued to grow into a career on high seas. He might have gone on to the major in Marine Biology and become a world-famous scuba diver or perhaps even join the COAST GUARD. nick says today that he could see himself riding the waves for a living. "I'd like to be in the U.S. COAST GUARD. Because, my family was in the business of taking care of elderly people, and I like to take care of people," says Nick, "I thinnk that's something that might be cool to cobime to help save lives, and I love the ocean."
WHAT NICK LOOKS FOR IN A GIRL! FROM M MAGAZINE FEBRUARY ISSUE 2001!
WE ALL WANT A GUY WHO'S GORGEOUS, SMART, UNDERSTANDING, AND LOVES HIS MOM. THAT'S WHY WE'RE CRAZY ABOUT NICK CARTER.
He has so many special qualites it's easy to say what we like about him (he's talented, sweet, and, well, cute), but we wanted to see what Nick truly admires in a girl. You'll never guess what we discovered! He likes...
A NICE GIRL: Sure, he drools for a pretty girl, but this down-to-earth guy insists that his tru love have spirit, too. Nick puts personality first; he likes someone who is friendly and caring, just like him. Unlike some stars, Nick isn't into the looks thing. He says love has nothing to do with hair color height. A super-sweet, indepent girl is the type who cathes his eye.
A FAN OF WATER: Not only does Nick own a house by the beach, he owns a boat, too. That means this guy is a nautical nut. He loves to be on the water. So if you're not into the sand and the shore-or maybe a romantic sail under the sunset, Nick may not be the right guy for you.
AN ANIMAL LOVER: Okay, we all know Nick has an obsession with Beanie Babies, but did you know that he's the proud owner of a bunch of cats and dogs? Oh, and not to mention some fish, too. That's why he prefers a girl who likes(and isn't allergic to) animals. And if you are? No big deal. Nick is such a sweetie, he'll offer you tissues if you start sneezing next to his animals.
A TRUSTWHORTY GIRL: You gotta have fatih. Well, sort of. More like, you gotta be faithful. Nick won't give you the time of day if you're not going to be totally devoted. This one-woman man says he would never, ever, cheat on his girlfriend (or even look at other girls). Yes, he's seriously that cool about being honest. Of course, he expects the same act of fatih in return.
A HOMEBODY:
Blockbuster, anyone? Nick's ideal way of time is relaxing at home, watching movies and plauing video games. So if you like to kick back and relax at home on Saturday nights, you're as good as gold in Nick's book.
A CASUAL CHICK: Do you consider yourself casual, yet cool? Do you like comfy jeans and T-shirts, and maybe even a bell button ring or a tattoo? Nick digs that style or any look that is relaxed yet unique.
FROM ALLSTARS! FEBRUARY 2001!
SINCE NICK CARTER TURN 21 ON JANUARY 28, 2001, AND NOW AS YOU CAN SEE HE'S SIMPLY GETTING BETTER LOOKING WITH EVERY DAY THAT PASSESS. HE'S CHANGED IN SO MANY WAYS SINCE HE JOINED BSB ALL THOSE MANY YEARS AGO-HE WAS ONLY TWELVE WHEN HE HOOKED UP WITH KEVIN, HOWIE, BRIAN AND AJ TO FORM WHAT WOULD BECOME THE MOST SUCCESSFUL POP GROUP OF THIS GENERATION! BUT NICK'S DONE MORE THAN CHANGE PHYSICALLY. HIS MIND AND HIS OPINIONS WITH HIM RECENTLY, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE NICK CARTER OF 2001 IS A BRAND NEW MAN!
*NICK has a competely grown-up way of looking at life-he doesn't regret anything that's happened to him, but he's definitely learned from his mistakes. "I'm happy and I'm having fun in my life," says Nick. "But I've learned things...there were a couple of mistakes and wrong choices I've made. But it's good I've made them early and got them over with!"
*Although Nick is almost a mature 21-year-old, he admits he's much closer to his family now, and he spends more time with them than ever. "I have a house next door to my family," says NICK. "We live out in the water-we spends time together, and we enjoy the outdoors and the ocean."
*NICK often thinks about reaching out and helping others, and using his fame for good work. In fact, he has this really cool idea of about a second job. I'd love to be in the U.s. Coast guard," says nick. "I'd love to take care of people...I think that's something that might be cool, to help save lives. Who knows...maybe I can still do it!"
*During the past year, NICK has seen two of his best friends-KEVIN RICHARDSON and BRIAN LITTRELL-get married, and although he's not planning to marry anytime soon, the weddings have made him realize that life is always evolving and changing. "I learned last year that things can't always stay the same," he says. "Life is inevitable, and people grow up and chagne...it's hard to accept sometimes, but things just don't stay the same."
*Even though Nick is not a natural daredevil (he says he'll never do anything outragous bungee jumping or shy diving), he has had a few adventures in the past year, and he admitts they've scared him a little. "Shark diving isn't really a crazy thing for me he says with a smile. "My friends and I were swimming in Florida, and hammerhead sharks went swiming right by us. But you get used to that! It's no big deal!"
*You might think Nick's gotten used to being idolized by fans, but that's something he never takes for granted! "Sometimes it's embarrassing, the lengths fans go to meet you," he says. "But it's flattering too. I live on the water in Tampa in a gated community that's surrounded by water, and I've had fans swim to the house! And first of all, Tampa Bay is probably one of the # 1 places for sharks in America! But that's how far someone will go to try and meet me. And then when they meet me, they cry! It's crazy, but it's flattering, you know!"

FROM THE MILLENNIUM SCRAPBOOK BY. LAUREN ALISON
FROM THE TIME HE WAS A TODDLER, NICK WAS AN ENTERTAINER. His family gladly tells tales of their baby boy, wearing only diapers, bustin' a move on the dance floor of a club his grandfather owned.
In the fourth grade, the showbiz bug bit when Nick landed the lead in a local production of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. He entered lots of talent shows, and remembers one in which he tried an impersonation of elvis-leg shake and all! "I HAD TO TRY," he told LIVE AND KICKING magazine. "I'm not really a dancer though. You gotta remember, I was really young when I started doing that stuff."
But he was doing something right and was soon the featured vocalist at the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS PRE-GAME SHOWS. This NFL gig lasted two years, and then when NICK was twelve, he won top prize on the 1992 NEW ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR TV SHOW. LOCAL COMMERICAL gigs came quickly after that, and NICK kept busy performing and auditioning at TAMPA nad ORLANDO events. Even though he was only in junior high school at the time, Nick made friends with two older guys he kept running into at the same gigs-AJ MCLEAN and HOWIE DOROUGH. The three started harmonizing together as a way to pass the time during the long waits at auditions and performances.
Today, of course, 21 year old Nick is a full-fledged member of the BACKSTREET BOYS, and living on his own. But don't try to FIND NICK'S ADDRESS. He already had to move once because he was tired of being hounded by fans. And boy, do fans run after him! Even though he's the "supposed" heartthrob of the group, NICK is surprisingly shy. "I'm a very queit person," NICK told TEEN. "I consider myself a modern-day hermit. I'm happy if I'm in my hotel room just chillin'."
