Aaron Carter’s sister, Angel Conrad, is opening up about losing her “selfless” twin, how she and older brother, Nick Carter, are carrying each through their grief and why the loss has “lit a fire” inside her to fight mental illness.
Aaron passed away in November following a long struggle with mental illness and addiction. He was 34. Amid her grief, Angel organized Wednesday’s star-studded West Hollywood benefit concert, Songs for Tomorrow, to celebrate Aaron’s life and generate conversation around mental illness.
“I will always remember Aaron as a selfless, goofy person, who ultimately just wanted to be loved,” Angel told Et Canada prior to the concert. “Unfortunately, he didn’t learn to love himself first, which is something a lot of people struggle with. In his own words, self-love meant self-respect and self-worth — he had a hard time with that.”

What combination of things makes even less sense than a tornado made of sharks? How about a post-apocalyptic zombie Western made by and starring boy bands? Sheer absurd randomness (and its attendant clickbait) seems to be the well from which Syfy's Dead 7 was sprung, the latest original movie from the network that has brought us such single-serving classics as Sharknado, Dinocroc vs. Supergator and Titanic II. Like many that have come before it, this genre mash-up walks the crooked line between knowing how bad it is and taking itself just a tad too seriously.

For a B-Movie maniac like myself, Dead 7 sounds like a late-night dream. Take some 90s-era boyband icons, throw ’em into a steampunk-y Western dystopia, and record a closing-credits collaboration with lyrically tied-in cheesiness. Backstreet’s back, right?! Wrong.
Much to my dismay, audiences are “treated” to yet another SyFy disasterpiece courtesy of The Asylum – cable TV’s leading team in cut-rate, storyless boredom for everyone. It’s a shame this zombie shoot-out wastes sky-high genre potential on a studio who’s more about marketing ploys than production, because, dare I say a smile crept on my face once or twice?
The cast is a who’s who of your annoying little sister’s fantasy boyfriends, including members of N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98º, O-Town and Everclear – but not Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass or any of the Big names (sans Joey Fatone, I guess? Is Nick Carter still a thing?...

McLean, Howie Dorough, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, Jeff Timmons and Erik-Michael Estrada teaming up for a Syfy original movie, well then Dead 7 is for you. In addition to getting credit as co-producer, Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys stars as none other than the “reluctant hero” Jack who corrals this unlikely bunch of characters for the zombie apocalypse. Expect lots of meta-jokes poking fun at their real-life careers while fighting in what’s sure to be some ridiculous situations. The very

From the channel that brought us Sharknado comes the next insane fever dream that somehow turned into reality. Dead 7 is a post-apocalyptic zombie Western starring more 90s boy band members than you can shake a tube of hair gel at. In the words of Syfy’s publicist: “Oh my God, they’re back again!” Now that song is stuck in your head. Don’t lie. We’re beyond the pale here people…and I kind of like it? Yeah, this is absurd, but it knows what it is. Embracing camp is half of what makes Syfy Original Movies so fun to watch. Managing to rope in 90s boy band members to poke fun at themselves only elevates this ludicrous idea to pure genius. From the Backstreet Boys, we have Nick Carter as Jack, Howie Dorough as Vaquero, and Aj McLean as Johnny Vermillion. Nsync is represented by Joey Fatone...

Members of Nsync, the Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and O-Town make up the cast of Dead 7, billed as being from the makers of Sharknado. Nick Carter and Sawyer Perry have penned the screenplay, and Danny Roew is directing. And the movie is set to debut on Syfy in the Us on April 1st.
