Younger bro of Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter proves to be a busy little industry unto himself Aaron Carter, 12, says he wouldn't mind if some of his older bro's success came his way. "He's so cool, and he taught me a lot about not being stuck up," Aaron says of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, 20. "When he joined the band, I went to rehearsals and decided that's what I wanted to do."
And Aaron's well on his way.
To wit: His second album, "Aaron's Party [Come Get It]," is out. The single of the same name is No. 37 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart after six weeks. Also out: a music video collection; "The Little Prince of Pop" [Onyx paperback, $9.95], a bio penned by mom Jane Carter; and a 15-store singing tour at Wal-Mart.
Aaron's latest single is a catchy rap ditty about throwing a party without parental supervision. Any autobiographical elements to the song?
"I think I tried to get my mom and dad out of the house once or twice, but they were onto me," says Aaron, one of five kids.
