Leslie Carter, 14-year-old sister of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and pubescent pop phenomenon Aaron Carter, has just started an extensive promotional tour -- that'll take her up to the mid-June launch of the summer concert trek on which she's serving as Aaron's opening act. She doesn't mind her awesome schedule.
"This is one of the most critical parts of my career -- getting known," informs the pop princess in waiting, whose "Like Wow!" hit song shows up on the soundtrack of DreamWorks' soon-to-open "Shrek." She adds, "It's a lot of work. Sometimes you feel like you don't want to do it. Sometimes I'd like to go off and do things like other girls my age. But it's really paying off."
Leslie says it's Nick who gives her career and performing advice, while "Aaron is my little brother. We're almost two years apart," she reminds. "He's a brat." Really? "No, I just call him that because he's my brother. He'll squirt me with a hose, that kind of thing. We just went on a fishing trip. Nick stuck squid down Aaron's pants. Then I blew a blowhorn in Nick's ear. He couldn't hear for a while," confesses Leslie.
Just as Aaron got a big break when he served as an opener for the Backstreet Boys (news - web sites), Leslie got a first taste of the big time as opening act for Aaron on his concert swings through Germany and Canada. The upcoming tour will definitely be her biggest yet.
There are two more children in the Carter clan. One is Aaron's fraternal twin, Angel. "I guess she's becoming a model," Leslie reports. And there's also 19-year-old Bobbie, "who's helping out with the tours and stuff."
