While Delta Goodrem is in the United States launching her single "Lost Without You," her boyfriend Brian McFadden (formerly of Irish boyband Westlife fame) is chatting up ... Nick Carter, currently of American boyband Backstreet Boys, being one of Paris Hilton's many boy toys and DUI fame. McFadden, who has been in the papers for leaving ex-wife Kerry Katona, seems to need a little help creating "a rockier sound," and thought Nick would do the job best. McFadden heard Tommy Lee sing Carter's praises after he and Nick collaborated on his current album. Nick and Brian plan to team up while the Backstreet Boys tour the UK this coming fall. This may just lead to the Delta Goodrem and Nick Carter unity I've been dreaming of ... although I must say, Nick isn't quite good enough for Delta.
Hurricane Katrina. How are celebs helping out?
Everyone from Morgan Freeman to Patricia Clarkson are taking part in benefit concerts and auctions to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Hilary Duff is donating $200,000 to the American Red Cross and another $50,000 to USA Harvest. What's Britney doing? Praying.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and any other states that might be affected by Hurricane Katrina," she posted on her official site. "All of my family members there are safe and thank you to all my fans for your concern. Love, Britney." Hmm ... not even a summon for others to pray for the victims? I guess she really is broke.
... and then there's Jane Carter, mother of the famous Carter boys, Nick and Aaron. What crazy thing is she up to now? She published a letter to Aaron in The National Enquirer warning him of his father Bob's "real" motives: wanting a part of the $4 million that Aaron will gain access to once he turns 18 this December:
"Dearest Son," she wrote, "I have always been truthful with you and will continue to be so. Aaron, I know the private jet rides can be thrilling. What is not a thrill is the day you get the bill for them all when you turn 18! ... Don't allow your father full custody [of Aaron and his twin sister Angel] ... why at this point? It's because they all have their eyes on the $4 million trust fund I managed to sock away for you. Kiddo, that is yours! You earned it and you worked hard for it ... Take care of yourself. I love you very much. Mom."
Mm-hmm. And I love him very much too. Does that mean I get a bit of his $4 million? And I also like how she addressed him as "Son." Maybe she's thinking of recycling the letter and sending Nick a copy, so she can squeeze a few million out of him, too.
