So the inherent traumatizing effects of being abandoned by your older brother at a party and having to spend the night at Michael Jackson’s house and receiving a brand-new car in the morning do not prevent you from proceeding to a seemingly normal and manly life. The all-grown-up Aaron Carter, 18, brother of Backstreeter Nick, proposed to his girlfriend, the dethroned Miss Teen USA 2003, Kari Ann Peniche, on stage Saturday during Playboy’s Hollywood Comedy Tour show at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The youngest solo male singer to have four top-40 singles had every intention of taking his 22-year-old Playboy-posing fiancee directly from the stage to a quickie chapel, but the couple decided to do something more formal within six months. The engagement came as surprise to everyone. “I heard he got married,” said Carter’s dad, Bob, “then I heard he got engaged. I don’t have a clue.” The Carter family will be airing their dysfunction soon on an E! reality series. (Showbiz News)
