Yikes!

According to a statement released Monday, fellow BSB members Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean, as well as the band’s traveling entourage, have all met with a doctor and are not currently showing any symptoms of the highly contagious flu, known as H1N1. However, doctors have prescribed Tamiflu to the group and their touring party as a preventive measure.

An upcoming appearance on Ellen has also been scrapped.

The news was announced via the band’s website — on it, Brian writes: “We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC and take part of PINKTOBER, an unbelievable and important program. I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”

In 1998, the 34-year-old singer underwent open-heart surgery to correct a lifelong heart murmur. Poor guy — get well son, Brian!

Former Paris Hilton-dating Backstreet Boy Nick Carter claims he is currently dating fallen pop idol Britney Spears.

“Nick’s claming that he and Brit have been ‘dating’ for about three weeks,” friend’s of the boy-bander tell OK!.

“He says they’ve been chatting, texting, instant messaging and talking all the time they’re both heavy into other.” The source also reveals that Nick has even told some of his bandmates, “I really like her.”

“Not saying it’s not true,” one insider explains to OK!, “But it strikes me as a bit of a coincidence that Nick is name-dropping Brit now when Backstreet’s got an album coming out soon.”
