Black and Blue.

Having outgrown the Backstreet Boys and unable to launch a successful career as a solo artist, Nick Carter has approached the E! network with an idea for his own reality show, www.contactnews.com reports. The series will follow the exploits of Nick, also known for his volatile relationship with Paris Hilton and a slight problem with alcohol, and three of his siblings (Aaron, Leslie and Angel) as they try to peacefully coexist under one roof.

Which would be pretty miraculous, given the Carter family history. Aaron fired his mother Jane as his manager amid accusations she mismanaged his financial earnings, shortly after which he filed for legal emancipation. Days after the two resolved their issues, Ms. Carter found herself facing assault charges after she illegally broke into her soon-to-be-ex-husband Robert’s home and attacked his then-girlfriend (now wife) with a television remote control. Robert himself later came under fire when, in a separate incident, Aaron’s other, former manager claimed he was unjustifiably dismissed by Aaron’s greedy parents, and sued Robert for libel and breach of contract. And a former roommate of Nick’s sibling BJ (inexplicably not named as a participant in Nick’s proposal for the reality show) filed charges against her, Robert and Nick on account of attacks she claimed she suffered at the hands of BJ. Yeah, I’d say they’re larger than life…
