Nick Carter claims drugs almost killed him. The Backstreet Boys star admits he only stopped taking illegal substances when he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a potentially fatal heart condition.

He said: "I realized I didn't want to die. I didn't want to be that person people read about and think, 'That's sad that he couldn't stop it and killed himself.'"

Paris Hilton claims to have only have slept with "a couple" of men. The hotel heiress - who inadvertently appeared in a sex tape, eventually released as "One Night in Paris," in 2004 with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon - says she won't have sex with a boyfriend too soon into a relationship.

Paris, who has romanced a host of stars including Benji Madden, Nick Carter and model Jason Shaw, said: "I'm a strong woman who doesn't depend on a man for anything. If you give it up to a guy he won't respect you. He'll want you much more if he can't have you."

Paris Hilton wants "three or four children" with boyfriend Benji Madden. The hotel heiress - who was introduced to her Good Charlotte rocker boyfriend when best friend Nicole Richie started dating Benji's twin Joel - is already planning her future with the musician, and thinks he would make a fantastic father.

She said: "I definitely want three or four children. And soon - maybe a year or two."
