Nick Carter sparks concern with alarming slimmed-down photo: ‘Hope he's doing fine'
Nick Carter's slimmed-down appearance has sparked concern among fans who are worried about his wellbeing. On Wednesday, the singer shared a relaxing selfie via Instagram ahead of practice for the Backstreet Boys' Las Vegas residency at the Sphere. 'Soaking up some Vegas heat before today's rehearsals,' Carter, 45, captioned the photo. Carter appeared in good spirits, wearing a grey hat and a dark red Ford T-shirt. Fans couldn't help but voice their concerns about his thin frame in the comments section, however, with one writing, 'Sorry to say, but you look a bit too thin to me! … I hope you're okay, @nickcarter! Love you so much!' 'He looks very unhealthy, hope he is okay!' another added, as a third chimed in, 'I'm a [bit] nervous.' 'Maybe he took some Ozempic,' a fourth wrote, to which another snapped back, 'Maybe you should mind your business.' Meanwhile, others rushed to Carter's defence, urging critics not to 'comment on other people's bodies.' 'Hey ladies … just like we don't want men commenting on our weight … men don't need to hear your opinions either,' one supporter wrote. '[I] think it's more out of concern … hope he's doing fine mentally and physically,' a second added. A source, meanwhile, told Page Six that Carter is 'not on Ozempic.' According to the insider, the pop icon and his bandmates have been rehearsing for their Vegas residency 'for the past two months now' and 'working out non-stop.' 'It's not going to be an easy show,' the source continued, adding that Carter's social media proves that he has slowly slimmed down over the past few months. 'It didn't happen overnight,' they said. Reps for Carter did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. The Backstreet Boys — which also consists of Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough — will begin their Into The Millennium residency at the Sphere starting July 11. They are set to perform 21 concerts before wrapping their final show in late August. Nick's return to the stage comes after the tragic deaths of three of his siblings, Leslie Carter, Aaron Carter and Bobbie Jean Carter, who passed away in 2012, 2022 and 2023, respectively. In November 2023, the I Want It That Way singer admitted he was still grieving his late brother, telling E! News that it 'hurts' not to have made amends before he passed. He also addressed Bobbie Jean's death in January 2024, writing via Instagram that 'it may take a lifetime to fully process the loss [his] family has endured over the years.' Nick was one of five siblings. The family is also survived by Aaron's twin sister, Angel.

Iconic '90s Singer, 56, Declares War on Time Itself: 'I Just Don't Believe in It.'
Iconic '90s Singer, 56, Declares War on Time Itself: 'I Just Don't Believe in It.' originally appeared on Parade. In a recent interview with Capital FM posted online Monday, Mariah Carey revealed she isn't just hitting high notes — she's skipping over calendars entirely. When host Jordan North asked, 'Is it true you don't acknowledge the passing of time?' Carey didn't hesitate to share her personal philosophy. 'That is true,' she confirmed. 'I just don't believe in it.' When North followed up to ask if she was referring to time zones, Carey quipped, 'No, just time.' Co-host Sian Welby then asked, 'So no clocks? Just not into that?' 'Yeah. No, just let it go,' Carey replied. As for Carey's well-known stance on birthdays, she touched on that too: 'I don't have a birthday, no. Anniversaries, yes,' she said. This isn't a new take for the pop icon. In a 2014 Out interview, she declared, 'I'm eternally 12 years old.' When asked about being a pop star for 25 years, she told the outlet, 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them — I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling.' Now 56, Carey is applying the same logic to her music. Her latest single, 'Type Dangerous' (her first solo track since 2019), just debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her 50th career entry. Technically, the chart milestone is dated June 21, 2025 — but Mariah likely wasn't watching the clock. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Iconic '90s Singer, 56, Declares War on Time Itself: 'I Just Don't Believe in It.' first appeared on Parade on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Britney Spears shares another erratic dance wearing thong bikini during yacht ride
Britney Spears posted yet another erratic dancing video on Instagram on Sunday. The 43, flaunted her figure in a skimpy green and yellow thong bikini which she teamed with a wide-brimmed hat as she twirled wildly on a yacht. The singer then slipped into her iconic schoolgirl outfit made famous in the video for debut 1998 single Hit Me Baby One More Time. Britney teamed the tiny plaid skirt with a daringly cropped white shirt and red bikini top as she continued to dance for the camera. However, she optioned not to caption the kooky clip and turned off the comments. It comes after the pop icon continued to bond with her youngest son Jayden James Federline, following a two-year estrangement, on Father's Day in a snap where he towered over her 5ft4in frame. Britney was so thrilled to finally reconnect with the 18-year-old high school grad, that she bought him a brand new Mercedes AMG SL 63 roadster valued at $187K. She gushed on June 8: 'He is [6ft3in] and his hands are so big now! 'How long am I going to be in shock? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny! I'm blessed! Just please be careful with my heart too!'

Britney Spears dances erratically in a skimpy thong bikini before slipping into her iconic schoolgirl outfit for latest kooky social media post
Britney Spears posted another erratic dancing video to Instagram on Sunday as she strutted her stuff on a sun-soaked yacht. The songstress, 43, flaunted her figure in a skimpy green and yellow thong bikini which she teamed with a wide brimmed while twirling wildly. Britney's tiny two piece left little to the imagination and she later moved out onto the deck to perform a string of saucier moves. The Hitmaker then slipped into her iconic schoolgirl outfit made famous in the video for debut 1998 single Hit Me Baby One More Time. Britney teamed the tiny plaid skirt with a daringly cropped white shirt and red bikini top as she continued to dance for the camera, she optioned not to caption the kooky clip and turned off the comments.

It comes after the pop icon continued to bond with her youngest son Jayden James Federline, following a two-year estrangement, on Father's Day in a snap where his 6ft3in frame towered over her 5ft4in frame. Britney was so thrilled to finally reconnect with the 18-year-old high school grad, she bought him a brand new Mercedes AMG SL 63 roadster valued at $187K. 'He is [6ft3in] and his hands are so big now!' Britney - who boasts 148.4M social media followers - gushed on June 8. 'How long am I going to be in shock? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny! I'm blessed! Just please be careful with my heart too!' Worryingly, Jayden never let go of his iPhone while driving the silver sportscar and glanced down at the screen at least twice during her video despite California 's hands-free driving laws. Federline is said to be pursuing a career in music production, and her team is concerned he may be taking advantage of Spears and her industry connections. 'Everybody is wary that he is using her for financial gains and for his career,' a source exclusively told the Daily Mail last Wednesday. 'The fear is this could hurt her and be the last straw for her.' The songstress flaunted her figure in a skimpy green and yellow thong bikini which she teamed with a wide brimmed while twirling wildly Britney's tiny two piece left little to the imagination and she later moved out onto the deck to perform a string of saucier moves Coincidentally, Jayden got back in touch with the semi-retired pop star last November - the same month she made her final $20K child support payment to second ex-husband Kevin Federline. Meanwhile, Britney and the 47-year-old former back-up dancer's 19-year-old son Sean Preston Federline remains 'guarded' after her 'favorite' son Jayden confessed to the Daily Mail in 2022 that she 'struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love.' 'We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state,' Federline explained. Spears - whose 13-year conservatorship finally ended in 2021 - divorced Kevin in 2007 after only two years of wedded bliss, and he amassed $5M in support payments during the 17 years he had primary custody of their children. In 2022, Federline posted surreptitiously-filmed footage of the Balenciaga collaborator scolding their kids at age 11 and 12 without her consent, and he later admitted it's 'tough' for teenagers to see her posting nearly nude dance videos on Instagram. Britney will soon release her first-ever jewelry brand, B. Tiny, featuring 'delicate, extremely different, and one-of-a-kind pieces.' Spears is also said to be very hands on with her fully-authorized biopic for Universal Pictures, which is still in the developmental stage. On March 23, director Jon M. Chu shut down speculation over whether Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown, Emma Roberts, Sydney Sweeney, Addison Rae, Florence Pugh, Tate McRae, or Olivia Holt were in contention to play the Hold Me Closer hitmaker. 'None of this is true,' the 45-year-old Wicked filmmaker tweeted. 'Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.' On August 1, Universal ' paid in the low eight figures' for the rights to Britney's NY Times-bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman In Me and music catalogue in the movie from producer Marc Platt. Simon & Schuster originally paid Spears a $12.5M advance (25% of the net profits) to pen the critically-acclaimed tell-all with three alleged ghostwriters - Ada Calhoun, Sam Lansky, and Luke Dempsey.
