"You know why I put Lays on my rider?" Aaron Carter asks, munching chips from a yellow bag in his dressing room at the Gramercy Theatre in New York. "JC Chasez taught me this. It's because the oil in the chips lubricates your throat, so it's good for singing."
The kiddie-pop sensation, now 25 years old, is on tour for the first time in a decade after recently wrapping up a stint in the off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks. Though he hasn't put out a new record recently, Aaron has become one of those celebrities whose online presence has made him a favorite of the internet hivemind. Jon Hendren, who goes by @fart on Twitter, noticed that Aaron's tweets were often, well, horny. Hendren started badgering Aaron over Twitter to reveal his "horny level" — a number on a scale of 1 to 10 indicating how horny he was.
A full-fledged campaign was waged over Twitter, with hundreds of people tweeting at Aaron asking him to give a number from 1 through 10. At one point, the hashtag #AaronCarterHornyLevel actually made it onto the top U.S. trending topics on Twitter.
We sat down with Aaron to go Behind The Tweets — and to finally settle this horny-level issue once and for all.
Aaron Carter: OK, so I was at the grocery store, and I saw brownie macaroni Kid Cuisine. I bought two and I ate both of them that night. Then I got really hungry later in the day. I had this vision of my eating Kid Cuisine, and I figured people would think it was funny because so many people my age grew up eating Kid Cuisine.
