Aaron Carter arrested for marijuana possession
Friday, February 22nd, 2008
Aaron Carter, brother to Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, and former boytoy of both Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan was arrested for possession of marijuana.
It is funny to remember when Hilary and Lindsay were fighting over Aaron. Granted they were just young teens, but it is still amusing. What did he really have to offer? Blond hair and a smile? Sort of like the popular boy in high school. Quite a jump from him to Joel Madden for Hillary and from him to a whole slew of guys for Lindsay.
I guess the most surprising thing about this story is not that he got arrested but that it was only for pot. Given what other young “celebrities” are into, marijuana doesn’t really seem too bad.
What is sad is that in all the stories that I read about him, he has been described as I described him above: by his relation to someone else (brother, ex-boyfriend). He hasn’t even really done anything to make a name for himself and it is unclear what it is that he does with his time.
A quick glance at a press photo website shows that he has had recent appearances at a wrestling match, parties, fashion week, and the Kids Choice Awards. I guess if you have one time fame you can milk that for as long as people can remember you? Maybe young Aaron should stop going to so many parties and get a real job. Although I suppose it is easier to be famous for being famous than be famous for being talented. Just ask Paris Hilton.
