(news.sawf.org) - Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys has emphatically denied recent press reports that he is dating Britney Spears.
Speaking with Marc Malkin of Planet Gossip Nick said, "I don't even know Britney, and at this time, with all that is going on in her life, I certainly wouldn't want to get involved."
"The last thing I need in my life is more drama, but I do wish her the very best outcome with everything," he added.
Earlier OK! quoted a source close to the 27-year-old as saying, "Nick's claming that he and Brit have been 'dating' for about three weeks.
