Aaron Carter has filed for bankruptcy with a debt of $2.2 million.

The "Candy" hitmaker and younger brother of the Backstreet Boys' singer Nick Carter has reportedly been dealing with crippling debt, while earning just $1,998 a month. The 25-year-old owes $1.3 million in unpaid tax and $31,166 on an American Express credit card, among other debts.

"Aaron filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection to alleviate past issues in an effort to move forward with his life and career. The overwhelming majority of the debt he is asking to be discharged is from more than 10 years ago when he was a minor and not in control of his finances," his representative Steve Honig told E! News.

Aaron first shot to fame in the late 1990s. His most popular album, Aaron's Party (Come and Get It), was released in September 2000 and sold over 1.5 million copies. Despite his financial problems, Aaron has pushed on with his music comeback and continues to play concerts. Although he has not released an album since 2002, he appeared on reality show Dancing with the Stars in 2009 and is currently on tour.

Spencer and Heidi: Separating the Fact From the Reality

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reconciled quickly after filing for divorce last summer, and now they’ve finally admitted it was all a hoax. The two former MTV reality stars recently revealed their motivations to Life & Style magazine.

According to the magazine, the duo spent the $10 million they earned while starring on The Hills, and now they’re on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.

“After they found out The Hills would not be renewed earlier this year, Heidi and Spencer concocted a plan to get attention by divorcing shortly after their anniversary. The reality duo tell Life & Style there was interest in a series covering their split from British TV network ITV, so they splashed down cash to move their act to Costa Rica. But that deal fell through and soon after, they called off the divorce proceedings and reunited.”

"Divorcing was the only way to keep Heidi's career going because everyone hated me so much. Look at Sandra Bullock -- her divorce from Jesse James was the best thing to happen to her image,” Spencer Pratt illogically explained to the magazine. “Who wants to hire the jerk from The Hills?”

Now, there’s a $10 million question.
