Troubled musician and former child star Aaron Carter (the younger brother of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter) passed away in his Lancaster home today. Carter, once known for his childhood music career and breakout album Aaron’s Party (Come and Get It), with songs like “I Want Candy,” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq,” had struggled with a very public battle with addiction and mental health issues. He was only 34 years old.
In happier news, beloved character actor Armin Shimerman celebrated his 73rd birthday today! Shimerman is most well known for his role as Quark, the Ferengi nightclub owner in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Shimerman was also the weasely Principal Snyder in Buffy: The Vampire Slayer along with a decades long career in voice work. Scores of fans took to twitter to wish him a happy birthday and to that we also have to add: Happy Birthday Armin!
Meanwhile, those of us still left on Twitter were left confused and appalled by this hideous and baffling waterfall bed listed on Zillow. For only $8million this messy, ugly, death trap can be yours!
