Paris Hilton is thick, according to Nick Carter

Backstreet boys singer Nick Carter, who dated socialite Paris Hilton in 2004 – has slated his Hilton, claiming that she was boring to talk to.

27-year-old Carter told British newspaper The Sun:  ‘I’d go out with another celeb, but she’d need to be able to have an intelligent conversation though, because Paris couldn’t.’

Nick has also claimed that the American public  are tired of reading about Paris’s antics all the time – and that, not dull in his opinion, he reckons half of the US population share his view.

‘I don’t even care any more,’ he says. ‘And I think half of America doesn’t care either.’

Nick also revealed that he struggles to get a girlfriend because of his fame.
