The sun's-a-beamin', the sea's twinkly 'n' blue - so L&K grab a few rays, and a top natter, with our best-est beach boy Aaron Carter!
You've always got your fave Beanie Babies with you, but how many can you fit in your bed? Oh about 500!
Who's got the most out of you and Nick?
He's got 300, so he's winning! L&K Magazine gave me lots but Nick took them from me! (Booo!) Mom told him off a little bit, but if you can get some more that'd be cool (hint hint!) He's like winning by 5,000!
Aaron, strum us a toon on your geetar!
(Starts plinkin' 'n' twangin') I'm not very good at it, but I was playing it in my Surfin' USA video. In one bit I play it really fast. Listen to this! (Cue more thunderous strumming which nearly deafens us!)
Ouch! So how many chords can you play?
My favorites are A and B, they're very good ones. But you have to practice a lot...
Are you a top surf dude?
'Course! I can surf and I'd love to hang out on the beach all the time!
What's the highest wave you've surfed then?
Erm... 12 foot! It was much taller than me but I still surfed it! I wasn't scared at all. I got caught by a few waves and went under which feels like being in a washing machine. I swallowed lots of water - it's so salty. Bleurgh!
Were there any jelly fish?
I got stung on my leg which hurt so much. (Sounds a minte wobblesome) I didn't have to go to hospital though, I just had to wipe them off (eh?), but the water made it feel better. There were sharks in the ocean too - nothing too big, just Great Whites! (Hark at Mr. Casual!)
Did anything nibble your toes?
There were lots of crabs. I'm scared of them pinching my toes, so I didn't sit down in case they pinched my bottom, I'd see them coming and I was like, 'Aaaaaaargh!' and I just hit the road going, 'Oh, I'm outta here!'
Would you ever like a part in Baywatch?
Yeah I'd love to be in it. Perhaps I could one of the girl's son - that'd be coooool!
Any other telly plans?
Nickleodeon want to do a TV show with me. Like Kenan & Kel. I could do that easy with my dancers.
Do you swim like a fish?
I'm a really strong swimmer. Backstroke is my favorite so I can look around and see what's going on and my face isn't towards the water.
Did you slap on extra-thick sun screen?
Yes, but not enough! I don't burn at all and I'm very brown.
What other videos would you like to do?
I'd love to do a video with Michael Jackson. I'd wear a very shiny costume.
Does Nick give you pop star tips?
He just tells me stuff like, 'You better be good on the road, otherwise I'll kick your butt!'. I always behave anyway.
How do you fit in all your school work?
I have a tutor on the road with me. She's a very good teacher and really nice and pretty. Maths is my favorite subject most of the time, I like doing it.
Would you ever cut your hair?
I cut it short one time but it didn't loo too good so I prefer it long.
And very nice it looks too!
