You have to hand it to Aaron Carter – not a single person has even so much as thought of him for at least a year, but his dedication to stereotypical child star behaviour should be applauded.

We're being serious here – look at what Aaron Carter has accomplished. He's the relative of someone far more famous than he is, he's been in a terrible reality TV show, he has pointless facial hair and he's embarked on a hopelessly misguided engagement. There's just one thing that Aaron carter has missed from that checklist. 

And now he's just ticked it off. Aaron Carter, you see, has just been arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession in Texas. Good work, Aaron. Go to the top of the class. That's right, next to Lindsay Lohan.

If tawdry tabloid stories about Hollywood dimwits that you genuinely couldn't give a stuff about was a game of Kerplunk, then there's a good case for nominating Aaron Carter as the flimsy plastic needle that holds everything together. Aaron Carter has apparently dated Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and Hulk Hogan's daughter, plus he divorced his own parents once and was briefly engaged to a slutty beauty queen who'd previously dated his older brother before they inevitably broke it off about 30 seconds later.

Honestly, take Aaron Carter out of the equation and everything falls apart. Which is a pain, because it looks like the Kimble County Sheriff's Office in Texas is pretty keen to take Aaron Carter out of the equation. But that probably serves Aaron Carter right for speeding when he knew he had drugs in his car ready for police officers to stumble across. E! Online reports:

The 20-year-old singer was arrested Thursday in Texas on suspicion of drug possession after cops pulled him over for speeding and allegedly found marijuana in his Cadillac Escalade. Per the Kimble County Sheriff's Office, Carter was still in custody Thursday night in anticipation of his arraignment Friday morning. Sheriff Mike Chapman said the Aaron's Party purveyor was driving alone when he stopped in Junction at about noon. Officers found less than 2 ounces of pot in the vehicle, he said.

Although it's a little bit shocking to think that little Aaron Carter, the floppy-haired 10-year-old who annoyed the living shit out you a decade ago with that godawful Crush On You song, has turned to drugs, you shouldn't be surprised. After all, if you were Aaron Carter, wouldn't you try to get blasted off your face as often as possible just to forget that you were Aaron Carter even for a moment? Of course you would.

Anyway, Aaron Carter should just be thankful that he was arrested on suspicion of drug possession in Texas rather than Dubai, because the officials there would have slapped him silly. Not for the drugs thing – they'd have just locked him up for four years for that – but because Aaron Carter's got a gay little chin-beard and, well, doesn't that deserve a slapping?
