Joe Jonas Wants to Make More Music With Brothers

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 30th, 2011

Joe Jonas was asked about his New Year’s resolution. His response should excite Jonas Brothers fan everywhere.

“I hope to continue what I’ve been doing — making great music that I’m proud of,” he said. “And be able to make more music with my brothers.”

It will be amazing to have all the brothers back in the studio together after they have spent some time on their individual projects. Joe has been working on his solo music career, Nick is beginning his stint on Broadway, and Kevin has been writing and directing his own short film.

New Jonas Brothers Album Coming Soon

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 15th, 2011

The three brothers have been busy doing their own thing this year; Joe Jonas released a solo album, Nick’s been acting on Broadway Kevin is just living the married life.

While chatting with MTV, Nick Jonas mentioned a Jonas Brothers comeback is in the works.

“We have started thinking about the next step and what that means for the brothers, and the tone overall is just that we want it to be the right time,” Nick says. The trio plans on taking a lot of time with their next album. Rushing into it is not an option for the young musicians.

Nick also tells his fans that although they’re all pursuing their own dreams right now, the band is not breaking up any time soon.

“”I don’t know necessarily when that will be, but it will happen, and when it does, we’re gonna be really excited, and hopefully our fans and others will be excited as well,” he says.

It’s been more than 2 years since the band of brothers released “Lines, Vines and Trying Times”. I have a feeling getting back together for a follow up won’t be such a trying time – unless they really do want to disappoint 50 million teenage girls.

Nick Jonas Hitting Broadway

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 7th, 2011

Nick Jonas will be taking his talents to Broadway. The singer will be starring in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying starting January 24. He will be filling in for Daniel Radcliffe.

EW reports Nick is no stranger to musical theater.  He made his Broadway debut in 2001 in the musical revival Annie Get Your Gun, then played Chip in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in 2002, and then young Gavroche in Les Misérables in 2003.

It seems like the Jonas Brothers continue to be on hiatus as the brothers pursue solo projects.

Nick Jonas To Launch Child Singing Competition

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 2nd, 2011

Nick Jonas will be launching a children’s singing competition, reports MTV News.

The ‘Jonas Brothers’ musician/singer will be launching a nationwide singing competition for children on June 8, which will aim to find “America’s next pint-sized superstar.”

The 18-year-old will be teaming up with Quaker Chewy Granola Bars for the ‘Quaker Chewy Superstar Contest.’

Here’s how the competition is set up. Only children from ages 8 to 14 can upload their singing performances onto ChewySuperstar.com, where a panel of judges will evaluate performances and fans can vote for the top five contestants.

The winner of the competition will not only receive a contract with ‘Jonas Group Management,’ but will also receive a song produced by Nick himself, an online music video and a cash prize.

“Making music is my passion in life and the best way I know how to express myself,” Jonas said in a statement. “I wanted to be part of the Quaker Chewy Superstar Search to help other young musicians make music and follow their dreams.”

Well, isn’t this a cute little business deal. It’s nice of him to use his fame to make some other child’s dreams come true. Let’s just hope the winner chosen actually has talent, because ‘cute factor’ can only get them so far in life.

Nick Jonas Writes Music for Online Game “Wizard101″

Posted by Elisheva Baer on May 11th, 2011

When he’s not busy stealing the hearts of millions of girls around the world with his angelic voice, what does Nick Jonas do, one might ask? Well here’s one answer!

MTV reports that Nick Jonas, one third of the all-brother group, the Jonas Brothers, has composed the music for the new expansion world, “Wintertusk,” of the online game “Wizard101.”

“It’s been a really interesting journey composing some music for ‘Wintertusk’,” Jonas told MTV. “They came to me and said, ‘hey we’d love to have you be a part of this in some way,’ and as I was kind of getting into producing and song-writing, something I always wanted to do was score, so I said, ‘I’d love to be able to score this game for you and create some music specifically for the game and the vibe of the game.’”

Jonas explained that it’s different from anything else he’s ever done, but is looking forward to people hearing the music in the game. And I can guarantee that OJDers (Obsessive Jonas Disorder, for those who don’t know) all over are looking forward to it just as much, since this will be the first dose of anything Jonas they will have gotten in quite a while!

“I think what really helped when composing the pieces for Wintertusk was having some of the musical theater background that I have, obviously epic in its sounds,” he continued. “Specifically with ‘Les Mis’ and some of the stuff I did with that it really helped me open my mind to a couple different things and the way that this music should sound for this game.”

But when it comes to being a gamer himself, Jonas says, “I get into it a bit. I spend more time in the studio more than anything. But my little brother [Frankie] is a big video game fan.”

Sounds like quite an exciting project! It will be very exciting to see how well Nick tackled this one – but then again, there isn’t much wrong this boy can do when it comes to music, since it seems he is incapable of failing at anything musically.

Joe Jonas Covers Details – Solo!

Posted by Elisheva Baer on March 17th, 2011

Don’t worry fans, they’re still not breaking up! Just because Kevin has gotten married and disappeared from the world, Nick has been working on his acting and producing songs, and Joe has been working on his solo album, it still doesn’t mean that the trio are separating! Of course not.

Where have these three brothers been, you may ask? Valid question. But it seems we have found one of them! Joe Jonas can be seen adorning this month’s issue of Details magazine. And might we say, he is looking mighty fine!

In the article, Jonas dishes about breaking out of the teen-idol shell and making a name for himself, sans Nick and Kevin.

“I’m growing up, the fans are growing up,” Joe told Details. “I’ve gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven’t really been able to tell. When you’re writing with three people, you wind up with a sound that might be—not average—but, you know, expected.”

The article, entitled “Joe Goes it Alone” (but remember, they’re NOT breaking up), goes on to express Joe’s feelings of going solo:

“We’re not breaking up, we’re just taking a break,” Joe says. “I really have a hope for the fans that got older and went, ‘You know what, I’m really not into the Jonas Brothers anymore,’ that I’m able to catch their ear again with my project and they’re able to go, like, ‘Hey, this is cool stuff, I’m happy listening to this, I’m not embarrassed listening to this.’”

According to Perez Hilton, Joe recently opened up about his upcoming album, and working with producer Danja:

“I think for me the biggest influences are Daft Punk. I love their music. There’s a guy, Frankmusik, out of London, a lot of electro DJs out in Europe are doing some cool stuff right now. I just listen to a bunch of stuff you dance to, kind of electro-based. A lot of stuff that’s so amazing [that] you can create on the computer. I think, for both of us, we are huge fans of the new ‘Tron‘ movie. To be able to go on a musical journey for a while and finally with finding Danja and working with him, we’ve been able to collaborate on something that really works for me. And to find me and not try to mold it into something it’s not, to try and be myself and my music and kind of tell stories and be honest and just have something … when people hear it, hopefully they’ll be able to dance to it and have a good time.”

Hmm…this sounds extremely different from the usual Jonas melodies, making me sceptical to believe it completely. But one thing’s for sure; I will be dancing when this album comes out!

“It’s Joe’s album, it’s not just something put together for him,” Danja told Details. “He’s collaborating with the writing. He’s very different from what you’d expect. All I can say is he’s an adult man. He has a rock-star edge about him.”

Will it be good, will it be bad; will it makes our ears bleed, or leave us singing our praises? So many questions, so little answers, especially keeping in mind that Hollywood Records promised this album in early 2011. Reality check, it’s already mid-March. So where is it?!

Justin Bieber Grows a Lip Sweater

Posted by Megan MacKay on March 8th, 2011

Teenstache ahoy!

It looks like Bieber’s compensating for his recent dramatic haircut by growing some hair a little further south. That’s right: the Biebs is putting a ‘stache on it!

Justin tweeted the following message to his fans:

“im not shaving for a month so you all can see my mustache. i’m pumped.”

Aww, what a precious delicate flower! We’d love to see you try to grow a mustache…emphasis on the word ‘try.’ Lolz!

Be careful Biebs…remember what happened to teen heartthrobs Jesse McCartney and the Jonas Brothers when they grew up! Preteens like to spend their money on the young and babyfaced…and we know how much you like to spend YOUR money on GF Selena Gomez.

Don’t rush it! Stay young and keep the ca$h rolling in!

Demi Lovato Earns People’s Choice Award

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on January 6th, 2011

Despite her so-called irrational behaviour and rehab stay for “emotional and physical problems” which she is still working through, Demi Lovato nabbed the People’s Choice Award.

Last night at the People’s Choice Awards, the “Sonny with a Chance” babe was named Favorite TV Guest Star for her role on “Grey’s Anatomy” last year.

Additionally, Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, and the rest of the “Camp Rock 2” peeps earned the award of Favorite Family TV Movie.

Clearly the public can overlook Lovato’s mishaps and still see her as a promising teen idol. It is unfortunate that Lovato has to go through rehab but hopefully it will not taint her reputation, which obviously, it hasn’t.

Miley Cyrus and that salvia bong on the other hand…..oh boy.

Demi Lovato is in Rehab

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on November 4th, 2010

According to sources all over the web, Demi Lovato has checked herself into rehab for undisclosed “emotional and physical issues.” Perezhilton.com reports from an insider source that Lovato is being treated for an eating disorder as well as self-abuse. Lovato also will not be finishing her tour with the Jonas Brothers.

Apparently Lovato was quite the party girl on her current tour. Lovato and her reps have blamed the bad habits and the rehab stint on the pressures of Hollywood and fame. It’s not difficult to believe that fame can do harmful things to a person especially when young and vulnerable like Lovato. We’ve seen so many cases of child stars going down the wrong path from Drew Barreymore to Lindsay Lohan.

It seems that many of the Disney starlets are troubled. You have Lindsay Lohan who got her start in Disney films and now she is in and out of rehab. Miley Cyrus isn’t in rehab, but she has tainted her pure image quite a bit in the last year. We can even take Britney Spears as an example as she got her start in the Mickey Mouse Club. What is the deal with Disney?

In any case, hopefully Lovato pulls through the rehab stint and can get back to Camp Rock. However, Disney may pull the plugs on this one, she’s no longer innocent.

Eldest Jonas Brother Engaged (More Details)

Posted by Ilan Mester on July 1st, 2009

Kevin JonasSorry for any Jonas Brothers fans, but the eldest of the brothers is taken. Kevin Jonas is engaged to his girlfriend of almost two years, according to People.

On Wednesday, one third of the Jonas Brothers trio showed up to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa’s New Jersey home, got on one knee and asked her to marry him. “She said yes, yes, yes, like 500 times super fast in a row,” he told People.

The pair met in 2007 while their families were on a Bahamas vacation. At the time Deleasa, a former hairdresser, admits she didn’t even know who the Jonas Brothers were.

“It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” Kevin said to the magazine. He arrived from an overnight flight to ask her to marry him.

Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart Among Most Beautiful People

Posted by Ilan Mester on April 30th, 2009

Zac EfronChristina Applegate graces the cover of this year’s “People’s Most Beautiful” issue, but many teen idols are featured in the magazine as well.

“Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have both made People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful List. “I don’t get it. It’s funny, you look the same for years, and no one ever mentions it. Then suddenly it’s a big deal,” Pattinson tells People.

Other young stars such as “Gossip Girl’s” Taylor Momsen, brothers Nick and Joe Jonas and “17 Again” star Zac Efron have also made the list.

Efron revealed to People his secret to staying fit. “Backpacking, hiking, surfing, swimming, playing tennis — things that get you active and are also fun.”

Rant ‘N Rave: Disney Channel Stars

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on April 20th, 2009

Miley Cyrus Album PicsBack in the day, the word “Disney” brought thoughts of fairy godmothers, evil stepsisters and happily ever afters into our minds. The Disney stars that most of us looked up to were Cinderella, Pocahontas and, of course, Mickey Mouse (although now I’m not sure why).

But nowadays, all that has changed. When most children and teenagers hear the word “Disney,” they tend to think of the famous actors whose careers were launched on the television network, the Disney Channel. 

Due to shows like ‘Hannah Montana’ or the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘High School Musical,’ it is now virtually impossible to ignore any gossip associated with Disney’s princess Miley Cyrus or Brangelina wannabes Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

With plenty of shame, I will admit that even I watch some of these shows on a somewhat regular basis (I fully blame my boyfriend’s younger nieces for my sudden semi-addiction to shows like ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ and ‘Sonny With a Chance’).
