He was a teen megastar with Backstreet Boys, but Nick Carter, 35, has gone on to a life full of scandal and heartbreak.
He was arrested for resisting an officer without violence at a Tampa, Fla., nightclub in 2002 — and busted again in a March 2005 DUI stop.
Insiders told The National ENQUIRER he had been drinking heavily after his romance with Paris Hilton ended.
Three months after the DUI arrest, he was ordered into an alcohol treatment program. Now he’s hoping to relive his glory days on this season's "Dancing with the Stars" with partner Sharna Burgess.
