Jesse Jackson and New York state Sen. David Paterson also have lent their support, the Times reported. Walters, 37, is not a U.S. citizen and served more than five years in prison for a 1991 shooting. U.S. law requires the deportation of any non citizen who serves more than five years in a U.S. prison. The British-born rapper was ar rested by immigration officials last month in Miami aboard a cruise ship that had hired him to perform. He is in custody in Florida pending an immigration hearing. Carter playing drums, using rock influences NEW YORK (AP)—Nick Carter wants to prove he's more than just a pretty boy pop singer. The youngest member of the Backstreet Boys has been recording his first solo album, scheduled for release in October, on which he plays the drums. “I'm trying to put my rock influ ence in, big time,” Carter told Teen People. “A lot of rock nowadays, you know, everybody's digging Linkin Park and all that stuff, but I want to bring more of a pop essence to the rock but still keep it from being corny. I'm defi nitely pushing the envelope.” The 22-year-old admits he also likes some adult contemporary music. Goldmember ! ; CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 whole presentation is bright and fun (it’s never dark and serious). Myers is genius in his portrayals of Powers and Dr. Evil, but the revival of Fat Bastard is even less funny in this movie. Goldmember only has one funny line in the whole film, but after the 12th time, it’s just not so funny Knowles, while no Pam Grier, wears the hat well and plays the (thankfully) small role to the best of her ability Caine—well, I don’t have a clue why he decided to I do this movie, but I am sure glad i that he did. The old man injects a freshness and vivacity that revives the Austin Powers world, and the chemistry between he and Myers is incredibly believable. But for all the problems and plot holes, “Austin Powers in Goldmember” lives up to its • predecessors. Turn your brain off, sit down and enjoy the show. Just don’t miss the first and last 10 minutes - they make the entire movie worthwhile, and show just how much Austin Powers has become a very serious pop culture phenomenon. Bring on number four!
