It’s official. Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and hotel heiress Paris Hilton are an item. Detroit radio station Q95.5 called up Nick’s bandmate Howie Dorough just to get the scoop on the Paris and Nick rumors. Howie confirmed to them that Nick and Paris have been together for a few weeks now. Backstreet fan xIxGOTxNICKx from the Backstreet Boys forum at LiveDaily.com emailed a DJ at the station about what exactly was said. The DJ, Spike, replied to her: “We called Howie D. to put the rumors to rest and he confirmed that Nick & Paris have been together for a few weeks. He had a fun time with the topic and busted on Nick quite a bit. He also told us that they are going into the studio [this] month to begin work on the next BSB album. And he had a laugh over Britney Spears saying ‘I guess any publicity is good publicity.’ When we called his cell, he was boarding a plane for Japan, and talked to us so long that he almost missed his flight. Thanks for listening!”
