Aaron Carter shows us how to raise hell in hotels in the pop star way...
BOOK INTO A POSH HOTEL - PERFECT FOR PARTIES
"The nicest hotel we've ever stayed in was the Marriot somewhere in Asia. It was reeeeal big and my room had two storeys like a house. I had my own stairs! It's good to get a huuuuge apartment so there's enough space for a party. I've never had a proper party yet but I reckon I've had over 50 people in my room and that's nearly a party. Some people sat on the floor, some lay on the bed and some just sat on the chairs."
MESS UP YOUR ROOM
"My hotel rooms are always really bad. I chuck my clothes all over the place and throw my toys around - my Ninja Turtles are aways on the floor. But (goes all serious and hush hush) I've never, ever broken anything and I've never spilt stuff on the carpet. Honest."
SHARE WITH NICK
"He can be real crazy sometimes and he's sooo messy so he'd make the room look even worse. Actually, hmm (thinks for a few moments), I'd prefer to share with Brian cos he's a nice person. He's fun and he looks after me. Nick's more of a person to hang out with."
TAKE YOUR PET WITH YOU
"Hotels don't actually let you take pets into the rooms so I'd smuggle them in under my coat. I have 11 pets now: five dogs, two cats, two iguanas, two turtles, fish... and that's it. The iguanas live in the garden in a BIG cage. Very big. The boy is about the size of him (points at 6'6" bodyguard)... that's bigger than Kevin, you know, and the girl before she died was about the size of you (points to TOTP reporter). Their baby is about the size of me."
TALK ON THE PHONE FOR HOURS
"When I'm away I chat for ages, mostly to my mom when she's not travelling with me and my brothers and sisters. My mom asks me how the tour is going and I ask Angel how school's
PHONE ROOM SERVICE
"They bring you food whenever you want it. The best thing to eat is lasagne with Coca Cola (looks puzzled for a second). No! The best thing in the world is pizza. Cheese pizza. I never have sausage or olives on it - yuk - but I might have anchovies, they're nice."
SMUGGLE TONS OF CANDY INTO YOUR ROOM
"I love all kinds of candy and I've just had a Twix bar (erm, plus Fruit Gums, Gummi Bears, Flumps...) but don't tell anyone. (In loud whisper.) I'm not really allowed candy cos Nick says I'll lose my teeth. I haven't got any fillings now but I had loads in my baby teeth. It's stupid, my mum got 'em filled in and then she got 'em pulled out! I'm not scared of the dentist though but I am frightened of injections cos I have so many when I travel."
STICK JELLY BEANS UP YOUR NOSE
"I put them up there to save for later. Hee hee! Nick tells me not to do it. He says they'll get stuck and I'll have to go to hospital and have them pulled out by a doctor. He reckons they'd chop my nost off so I couldn't do it again!"
SWING FROM THE CHANDELIERS
"I could do that, easy. (Tries to work out how to bounce up from the bed to the lampshade.) Actually I'd get my Ninja Turtle to swing from the lampshade. But only for a few minutes - he might melt and go all gloopy. Eurgh! There'd be bits of Turtle dripping from the ceiling."
GET CHASED DOWN THE CORRIDORS BY FANS
"The girls always book into the same hotel as me. They chase me in the breakfast room, follow me up in the lifts and shout for me at my room door. Sometimes they say stuff, but I don't mind. I use secret names when I check in like Stan Dard and On Air - someone made them up for me - but the girls always find me!"
