Official Google Video Blog: Highlight: House of Carters

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 9/26/2006 05:53:00 PM

Nick Carter, from the Backstreet Boys, has everything he could want. Except for a normal family life. What will happen if Nick tries to make one happen for him, his brother, and sisters? This is the foundation for E! Entertainment's new show "House of Carters."

I'll admit it (and I hope the following bold declaration will not turn you away, oh-faithful-blog-reader). I knew the lyrics to almost every single Backstreet Boys hit when I was a freshman in high school. But what I didn't know was that Nick Carter, known as the heart throb of the band, was the eldest of five children and that his family suffered from a bitter divorce.

You see it plastered on the tabloids and you hear it dripping from the news that Hollywood is drama, drama, drama. It can be nauseating at times, and a guilty pleasure at others. In the world of reality tv, celebrities (and I use that term loosely) whine despite being rich, beautiful, and practically worshipped. At the same time, it's captivating to watch these people, who we place on pedestals, suffer from normalcy such as sibling rivalries and a failing marriage. In "House of Carters," the drama is real.
