Nick Carter's publicist says that reports that the Backstreet Boy has been convicted of a DUI charge and sentenced to a three month rehab programme are completely false.
As previously reported, Carter was pulled over back in Mar and charged with driving under the influence, but claimed that he was taking prescription drugs at the time. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to an apparently lesser charge of 'driving with a blood alcohol reading of .08 or greater'.
Publicist Juliet Harris said "Reports of Nick being ordered to rehab are completely false and misleading, the sentence he received was the California State required minimums given to anyone found guilty of this charge. We are grateful to his legal team, the court and District Attorney. His required fulfillment of the alcohol program will not interfere with Backstreet Boy's current touring and promotions of the new album."
What the exact differences are between 'rehab' and 'alcohol program', I'm not sure, but I daresay they're pretty important.
