While chatting with 104.3 MY FM’s Valentine in the Morning on Monday, Carter, 21, said he would not want "to be in that category" of men who have romanced Smirnoff, 30. "I'm sorry, but I'm not that guy," he said. "I don't got that kind of time."
But Carter tells Usmagazine.com he has "the utmost respect" for Smirnoff, who recently called off her engagement to Makism Chmerkovskiy. He says he was only trying to be "professional" by saying he's not "trying to hook up" with anyone on the show.

"She's amazing," Carter says of Smirnoff. "I'm sorry if it was misunderstood as being negative in any way towards Karina. Fortunately, she understood what was meant and that sometimes things are taken and repeated out of context."
He also wants fans to realize he was only joking when he said "there are no if’s, and’s or but’s ... I’m going to win Dancing with the Stars."

Carter tells Us, "The DJ and I were having a humorous conversation, and my sense of humor and high energy seemed to translate into being overly confident.
"Of course, I hope to win -- it is a competition," he adds. "But my castmates are unbelievably dedicated, talented and competitive. It is anybody's game at this point!"
Tell Us What You Think
64Insult the the marine corps. Im a marine. You havent earned anything!!!
It wouldn't let me post the words I tried to describe him with.
all i have to say is what the **** does he think he is wearing. I find this very disrespectful, my husband is a united states marine and they take pride in being able to wear this uniform why should anyone be able to wear it with our earning the right to wear it.
ok to all of you telling us to get over this...well I disagree I think aaron wearing this is very direspectful to our soldiers. They earn it and if you arent in the military you shouldnt wear it. My fiancee is in the Marines, he earned it and if he wants to wear it he shhould join the Marines. He has done nothing in his life so he doesnt deserve to wear this...
Frankly, Anonymous, your an idiot.
Wow, you'd think that people would have more respect. He sure as hell didn't earn the right to wear that. I hope he breaks his legs
Crystal, I'm sorry but you're wrong. The buttons on the jacket are considered USMC insignia. In fact, those buttons are the oldest uniform items in the American armed forces. They represent our original emblem before the adoption of the Eagle, Globe & Anchor that currently represents our service. That jacket is also specifically designed and made for wear by Marines. There are very specific laws that govern how military uniform items are made and who can wear them.
well i understand y'all being upset about it, My husband is a USMC Marine Sgt. However, he is not wearing any USMC insignia. Just a blue jacket with a red lining, there is nothing on that jacket that says usmc. So there for it could just be a designer replica. Believe me, i understand the importance of the uniform, and if he were wearing it with Chevrons and medals and the USMC decal on it, it would be different, but truth is, he's not so there for try not to be so judgemental. Im SURE he supports the military, and maybe that was his way of doing so.
Hm...... CPL Rad.....im fairly certain that wearing that means that you should have earned it. My fiance is a marine and currently overseas....and here is Aaron wearing this when he has done NOTHING to earn it! It really is wrong. He doenst even have the common courtesy to wear it CORRECTLY! lol
re: Wow, really? It's a just a jacket! Get over yourselves! -USAF 2nd Lt. Really Just a Jacket!?!?!? no its not just a jacket. and for you being in the military you should recognize that, I suppose they didnt teach you that in the USAF, Sir CPL of the Marines.
just proves how his whole life is spent being a wanna be! he just doesn't hve what it takes to be a United States Marine! what a joke, dancing with the stars is right where he deserves to be, with all the other has beens.

Aaron carter doesnt deserve to look at a blues jacket, let alone wear one. he's not even wearing it properly... if he respected them he would wear it like it should be worn... i know a marine wouldnt wear it like that
You want to wear that uniform sign up and earn it...my son did!!!
I like the jacket!!! Everyone has an opinion, the military look is in right now. Sorry he didn't please every single person of the millions in the population of America. Jeeze get over it!
I don't care what his intentions were. The fact is he doesn't rate to wear that jacket. Men and women who have answered a higher calling then being a washed-up 21 year-old, and dedicated their life, sweat, and blood that that calling, rate to wear that uniform. Wearing it in such a nasty way doesn't help either.
aaron is awesome and hes doing great! hes gonna win the award thats for sure!
I'm just saying either way it is not bad!!! I'm sure he thought it was respectful when they picked the outfit out for him, he still didnt have a choice! Listen to what I'm saying and understand its both!
See that is the differance between the Air Force and the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps has pride in thier service and uniforms. And Crystal at one time in your post you said he did it out of respect and then you say it was not his fault but his stylist. Make up your mind.
WOW really people? Give him a break! I am sick of all these "Proud Marine" people on here! The kid wore a jacket of a marine, he probably really respects them, as they should be respected, I am sure he didn't do it out of disrespect. And if you find it so "horrible" then obviously you don't care for people showing respect. People don't get all in a tizy when people army/navy/airforce costumes for halloween! Take a min to look in the mirror, you are picking on a 21 year old who is no different than anyone else!
