19-YEAR-OLD BACKSTREET BOY BUNKS WITH LITTLE BROTHER

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- 19-year-old Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter may be a big shot teen idol, but he still lives like a little boy. Carter tells the upcoming "Popstar" magazine that he still shares a bedroom with his pre-teen brother, Aaron, at his family home in Ruskin, Florida. It may not exactly sound like the typical digs of a sexy teen heartthrob, but Carter says he has no plans of moving out anytime soon. Other odds and ends about Carter... -- He loves chocolate so much he named one of his dogs William after the character in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." -- The teen hunk is a sci-fi geek whose greatest passion is collecting action figures from the video game "Final Phantasie." -- Carter has even written a script and created costumes for sci-fi movie he hopes the Backstreet Boys will star in someday.
