SWEET SERENADE

Nick Carter made a dying fan's wish come true ... singing the Backstreet Boys' signature hit directly to her in a real tearjerker moment.

TMZ obtained the super touching video recorded in Frankfurt, Germany ... as the singer makes his way through the crowd, goes straight in to hug terminally ill Jenni Schmidt and then begins singing "I Want It That Way" -- just for her.

Jenni, whose last wish was made possible by an org named, Der Wünschewagen, was clearly over the moon during Nick's "Who I Am" world tour last Sunday.

And, man ... Howie really knows how to hold his liquor -- downing at least eight shots in the sweltering Mexico heat while apparently MCing one of the events.

¡Los looks de Nick Carter a lo largo de los años son tu único deseo!

Aquí tenemos a un fresco Nick posando a los 14 años para una sesión de fotos de los Backstreet Boys, luciendo un corte muy atrevido en Nueva York en 1995 (izquierda). Eso fue unos años antes de que la canción "I Want It That Way" se convirtiera en un éxito mundial.

Y, casi 3 décadas después, el Sr. Carter, que celebra hoy su cumpleaños 44, se ha tomó una selfie recientemente donde luces sus ojos azules en pleno vuelo.

La pregunta aquí es ...

Nick Carter...

Nick Carter Good Genes Or Good Docs?!

Nick Carter's looks over the years are your one desiiiiire!

Here is a fresh-faced Nick posing at 14 years old for a Backstreet Boys photoshoot -- looking oh so bold with his bowl cut in NYC back in 1995 (left). This was just a few years before the boy-bander's hit song "I Want It That Way" became a worldwide banger!

And, nearly 3 decades later Mr. Carter -- who's celebrating his 44th birthday today -- recently snapped a sweet selfie showcasing those baby blues mid-flight!

Yes, his angles are still hittin' just right, but the question here is ...

Nick Carter ...

Nick Carter I'm 'Completely Heartbroken' ... Breaks Silence On Sister Bobbie Jean's Death

Nick Carter is speaking out for the first time about the loss of his sister, Bobbie Jean ... something he thinks he'll never fully process.

The singer broke his silence Thursday on social media, saying, "It may take a lifetime to fully process the loss my family has endured over the years – most recently, with the sudden passing of our sister Bobbie Jean. I am completely heartbroken."

He goes on to thank everyone for their "love and kind words" ... adding, "We are reminded again that life is precious, fleeting and to cherish the time we have with the ones we love. I know she is finally at peace with God."

TMZ broke the story, Bobbie and Nick's mom, Jane, told us about the "sudden death" of her daughter last month -- asking for "a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."

Remember, Bobbie Jean was found unresponsive in her Tampa, FL bathroom ... deputies learned she was on probation for cocaine possession, but her roommates said she had not used narcotics since being released from prison.

No drugs were found in her bedroom or bathroom, and there were no signs of foul play.

As you know, their brother Aaron was also found in his bathroom in 2022 after drowning in his bathtub. His autopsy revealed he became incapacitated due to the effects of pills and huffing before drowning.

Nick Carter Estoy completamente desconsolado... Habla sobre la muerte de su hermana Bobbie Jean

Nick Carter está hablando por primera vez sobre la muerte de su hermana, Bobbie Jean ... algo que cree que nunca procesará completamente.

El cantante rompió su silencio en las redes sociales el jueves, escribiendo: "Puede tomarme toda una vida procesar completamente la pérdida que mi familia ha soportado a lo largo de los años, más recientemente, con el repentino fallecimiento de nuestra hermana Bobbie Jean. Tengo el corazón completamente roto".

Continúa agradeciendo a todos por su "amor y amables palabras", añadiendo: "Se nos recuerda una vez más que la vida es preciosa, fugaz y para apreciar el tiempo que tenemos con los que amamos. Sé que finalmente está en paz con Dios".

TMZ dio a conocer la noticia, la mamá de Bobbie y Nick, Jane, nos contó sobre la "repentina muerte" de su hija el mes pasado, pidiendo "una oración por mi preciosa nieta de ocho años, Bella, que anteriormente perdió a su padre y ahora también se queda sin su madre".

Bobbie Jean fue encontrada sin respuesta en su baño en Tampa, Florida. Los oficiales se enteraron de que estaba en libertad condicional por posesión de cocaína, pero sus compañeros de piso dijeron que no había usado narcóticos desde que fue liberada de la cárcel.

No se encontraron drogas en su dormitorio ni en el baño, tampoco había signos de crimen violento.

Como ustedes saben, su hermano Aaron, también fue encontrado en su baño en 2022 después de ahogarse en su bañera. Su autopsia reveló que quedó incapacitado debido a los efectos de las píldoras y la inhalación antes de ahogarse.

AJ McClean de los Backstreet Boys se divorcia de su mujer

TMZ publicó la historia, AJ y Rochelle nos dijeron en marzo de 2023 que iban a separarse para trabajar en sí mismos y su matrimonio. En ese momento, nos dijeron que estaban planeando volver juntos.

A raíz de la separación, AJ nos dijo que estaba usando el tiempo separados para trabajar en sus propios demonios y convertirse en una mejor versión de sí mismo.

Parece que no habrá reconciliación y será interesante ver quién presenta los documentos de divorcio en primero.

AJ y Rochelle se casaron en 2011 después de 6 años de noviazgo ... con su tripulación Backstreet Boys asistir a su boda en el Hotel Beverly Hills.

Tienen 2 hijos menores juntos, Ava y Elliott.

AJ McLean We're Getting Divorced

FOR THE FAM
TMZ.com

TMZ broke the story ... AJ and Rochelle told us back in March 2023 they were "temporarily" separating to work on themselves and their marriage. At the time, they told us they were planning to come back together.

In the wake of the separation, AJ told us he was using the time apart to work on his own demons and become a better version of himself.

Sounds like there will be no reconciliation though ... and it will be interesting to see who files divorce docs first.

AJ and Rochelle got hitched back in 2011 after 6 years of dating ... with his Backstreet Boys crew attending their wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

They have 2 minor children together ... daughters Ava, who goes by Elliott, and Lyric.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign We're Dropping The Ball And Our Album ... On New Year's Eve!!!

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign didn't deliver their "Vultures" album as promised last Friday, but fans won't have to wait much longer ... because they've revealed a new release date.

TMZ Hip Hop can confirm the new dynamic duo will release their album on December 31 a.k.a. New Year's Eve.

Kanye album delays aren't a new concept but this go around, Ye has a couple of hurdles to leap if he wants "Vultures" to come out in its original format.

SAMPLING HIS NEW SONG

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Kanye failed to clear his Backstreet Boys-sampling single "Everybody" and may have to release an alternate version to cover his bases.

Ye also has another roadblock with Nicki Minaj stonewalling him by not clearing her verse for their collab "New Body" as well.

Ye Train Has Left The Station

Nicki told her fans the song was a bit dated having been recorded years ago but most importantly, she didn't want to detract from her own "Pink Friday 2" album release success ... so she let Ye down gently.

With or without Nicki, Ye still managed to recruit Lil Baby, Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, Future, Bad Bunny, Charlie Wilson, and many more.

Billboard was the first to report on Ye and Ty$'s new release date.

Kanye West Did Not Clear 'Everybody' with Backstreet Boys

update

1:52 PM PT -- We should note ... the version Kanye West appears to have played in the Miami club featured other voices singing the chorus, so it's possible he can get away with it through a loophole.

Kanye West's new take on the Backstreet Boys' hit "Everybody" has been getting a ton of buzz, but there's one massive problem ... Ye never cleared it with the boy band.

Sources connected to BSB tell TMZ Kanye failed to get the collective OK from Nick, Kevin, Howie, Brian, A.J. and their team to use the 1997 classic.

In Kanye's version, you can hear the original song and chorus before Ty Dolla Sign takes over, singing the original lyrics from "Everybody."

Of course, not clearing the song creates an interesting challenge for Kanye considering he's supposed to release his album this week and the song is a listed track. Not to mention, he's played it out in public in Miami, promoted it on social media and pumped it through the speakers at his album listening event in Miami Monday night.

121223_kanye_west_kal
SAMPLING HIS NEW SONG

So by all counts ... it seemed like Kanye was planning to have it on his "Vultures" album.

We don't know if Kanye reached out and was denied usage of the track or whether he just never asked at all ... but either way, it ain't good for Ye.

Kanye's been the center of controversy for months, with his antisemitic remarks -- expressing his love for Hitler -- and dangerous social media rants. As we reported, Ye wore a black KKK-style hood Monday night at his public event.

Obviously, a lot of artists have distanced themselves from Kanye ... and it'll be interesting to see his chances of locking down clearance for additional tracks in the future.

Originally Published -- 11:51 AM PT

Kanye West No le pidió permiso a los Backstreet Boys para usar 'Everybody'

La nueva versión de Kanye West del éxito de los Backstreet Boys "Everybody" ha provocado un montón de rumores, pero hay un gran problema, Ye nunca le pidió permiso a la banda.

Fuentes conectadas al grupo le dicen a TMZ que Kanye no pudo obtener la aprobación colectiva de Nick, Kevin, Howie, Brian, A.J. y su equipo para usar el clásico de 1997.

En la versión de Kanye, se puede escuchar la canción original y su estribillo antes de que Ty Dolla Sign tome el relevo y empiece a cantar la letra original de "Everybody".

Por supuesto, no pedir autorización por la canción crea un desafío interesante para Kanye, teniendo en cuenta que se supone que debe lanzar su álbum esta semana y la canción es una de las pistas de la lista. Esto, por no mencionar, que la ha tocado en público en Miami, la ha promovido en sus redes sociales y la hizo tumbar por los altavoces en el evento dedicado a escuchar su álbum en Miami el lunes por la noche.

Sampleando su nueva canción

Así que por todas partes, parecía que Kanye planeaba tenerlo en su álbum "Vultures".

No sabemos si Kanye se acercó a ellos y le negaron el uso de la pista o si simplemente nunca pidió permiso en absoluto, pero de cualquier manera, no es bueno para Ye.

Kanye ha estado en el centro de la controversia por meses por sus comentarios antisemitas -expresó su amor por Hitler- y por peligrosos desplantes en redes sociales. Como informamos, Ye usó una capucha negra al estilo del Ku Klux Klan el lunes en su evento.

Obviamente, muchos artistas se han distanciado de Kanye y será interesante ver sus posibilidades de que le bloqueen la autorización para pistas adicionales en el futuro.

Nick Carter Emotional Talking About Aaron ... Almost a Year Since Death

Nick Carter is remembering his younger brother, Aaron Carter, ahead of his one-year death anniversary ... and it's clear the tragedy still haunts him, 'cause he's choking back tears.

The Backstreet Boys singer was doing an interview with E! News Friday to plug his new single -- and they asked him how he was coping with his sibling's passing almost a year out. As it turns out, NC is still shaken by it ... and you can tell by his reaction here.

Check it out ... gets visibly emotional remembering Aaron, and he even reveals they were at a point of trying to reconcile their fractured relationship before he died suddenly on Nov. 5.

In other words, he's still very much grieving -- and he goes on to explain that this time of the year (right before the holidays) reminds him of not just family memories with Aaron ... but the fact that his baby bro lost his life during this period too.

As Nick says in this interview, he continues to process Aaron's death ... but still can't quite make sense of it -- although he hopes to get clarity one day. The same can be said about other people in Aaron's orbit ... including his GF and the mother of his child, Princeton.

We broke the story ... Melanie Martin filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of her and Aaron's infant child -- alleging there were a number of parties responsible for supplying Aaron with meds that were dangerous ... and which ultimately led to him drowning in his bathtub.

As we told you, Aaron's official cause of death was tied to Xanax and huffing.

Nick has reacted to Aaron's death on and off over the past year -- including a heartbreaking moment just a day after his brother passed ... when he and the other Backstreet Boys were performing. The stadium showed a tribute to Aaron, and Nick ended up crying onstage.

Nick Carter Se emociona hablando de Aaron... A casi un año de su muerte

Nick Carter está recordando a su hermano menor, Aaron Carter, a pocos días de su primer aniversario de muerte, y está claro que la tragedia le sigue pesando, porque estuvo conteniendo las lágrimas al recordarlo.

El cantante de los Backstreet Boys fue entrevistado por E! News el viernes para promocionar su nuevo single, en donde le preguntaron cómo estaba haciendo frente a la muerte de su hermano a casi un año de su partida. Resulta que Nick Carter todavía está conmocionado, y podemos asegurarlo por su reacción en este video.

Echa un vistazo a la entrevista. En ella, el cantante se ve visiblemente emocionado cuando recuerda a Aaron, e incluso revela que estaban intentando reconciliar su relación, que estaba quebrada, antes de que muriera repentinamente el 5 de noviembre.

En otras palabras, él todavía está muy afligido y sigue explicando que esta época del año (justo antes de las vacaciones) lo recuerda especialmente, no solo por ser el aniversario de su muerte, sino que por la época, la que le trae recuerdos familiares con él.

Como bien dice en la entrevista, sigue procesando la muerte de Aaron. Asegura que aún no puede darle un sentido, pero espera obtener claridad algún día. Lo mismo puede decirse de otras personas en la órbita de Aaron, incluyendo su novia y la madre de su hijo, Princeton.

Fuimos los primeros en dar la noticia, Melanie Martin presentó una demanda por muerte injusta en nombre de ella y el hijo de Aaron, alegando que hubo una serie de actores responsables de suministrarle a Aaron medicamentos que eran peligrosos y que en última instancia lo llevaron a ahogarse en su bañera.

Como les contamos, la causa oficial de muerte estuvo vinculada a Xanax e inhaladores.

Nick ha reaccionado a la muerte de Aaron de vez en cuando en el último año. Justo un día después de su muerte, estaba actuando con los Backstreet Boys, cuando el estadio rindió un homenaje a Aaron, y Nick terminó llorando en el escenario.

Britney Spears 'Baby One More Time' Almost Wasn't Hers ... Offered to Backstreet, TLC

Britney Spears' iconic hit, "...Baby One More Time," almost wasn't hers at all ... 'cause the producer of the famous track shockingly got turned down by groups like TLC and the Backstreet Boys!

Swedish music producer Max Martin had already made a name for himself in the '90s, working with Backstreet Boys on "Quit Playing Games" and Robyn on "Show Me Love" ... but for some reason, 'Baby' wasn't something his past collaborators were feeling.

He also hit up TLC, who were gearing up for their first album in 5 years, and they didn't bite either -- but 16-year-old Britney, the former "All-New Mickey Mouse Club" member, turned the tides.

Britney was flown out to Sweden as a teen to work with Max on her debut album, and he played her a demo of himself singing the song ... and she was hooked.

She went on to record the track, as well as 6 others, with Max during her week in Stockholm ... and as you know, what came after was INSTANT success -- 'Baby' made its way to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy.

It also landed a spot in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and has been covered countless times by artists.

BTW, Simon Cowell heard about 'Baby' before it ever came out -- the 'AGT' judge revealed on the "Howie Mandel Does Stuff" podcast earlier this year that he called up Max and begged him to give him the song for Five, his boy band at the time, but Max shot him down.

Britney's huge debut track turns 25 this week, and her long-awaited memoir, "The Woman In Me," hits shelves this same week ... so fans have a lot to celebrate right now.
