editorial comment Oh no!

Damaging pictures of teen singer Aaron Carter have been published in a US tabloid.

In the snaps, the shirtless 17-year-old is seen apparently getting high and puffing away on what the National Enquirer claims is pot. Furthermore, a "friend" who sold the pictures alleges they were taken at near Carter's home in Florida in 2003, when Aaron was just 15.

"It was a Saturday afternoon about 2pm when five of us got together," the pal said. "It was a warm day and Aaron arrived without a shirt. He has an extensive collection of pipes in his house and he brought a glass one with him.

"Aaron produced his pipe and asked, 'do you wanna smoke?' One of the guys and his girlfriend said they wanted to join him."

The source went on to allege that Carter spent $1500 to $2000 on drugs every fortnight.

Carter recently faced claims that he had taken drugs with Michael Jackson during an overnight stay at the Neverland ranch, but has denied indulging in illegal substances. "I don’t do drugs," he told People. "I didn’t do them with Michael Jackson and I don’t do them with anyone else."
