HIS SIGN: Aquarius

MOST COMPATIBLE WITH: Gemini, Leo, Libra

LIKES GIRLS WHO: are brunette, but says, "It really doesn't matter to me as long as they have a good personality and they are really, really nice."

LOVE STATUS: Single, Nick and his longtime love, recording artist Mandah, broke up last fall.

DO NOT DISTURB: "I'm a very quiet person," says Nick. "I consider myself a modern-day hermit. I don't like to party. I'm not a big clubgoer and all that stuff. I'm happy if I'm in my hotel room just chillin'."

DIDJA KNOW: Nick's sister Leslie is flexing her pop chops just like the Backstreet Boys and little brother Aaron-she just signed a record deal with DreamWorks.
