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 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 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″

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!

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?!

Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez Split – Again

Girls everywhere will be happy to know that one Jonas brother is back on the market. Although Joe Jonas is still going strong with 17-year-old singer Demi Lovato, and with Kevin being happily married, that leaves Nick standing alone, People.com reports.

The pop star split with on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez about three weeks ago. The couple never publicly confirmed they were back together, but a source says, “They were an item, but they are no longer together.” According to the source, the Disney Channel stars, both 17, broke up the way more celeb couples do; due to work keeping them apart. Gomez is scheduled to be in Europe this summer filming a movie, while Jonas is touring with his brothers.

Although they are officially not together, “it’s evident to everyone that they will always have a super strong connection,” says the source.

Since the split, both stars have been keeping busy: Jonas have been filming his show Jonas, while Gomez is busy with work, including designing a clothing line for Kmart and promoting her new album Kiss & Tell in France and Spain.

Gomez has also been keeping busy with Cameron Quiseng, 19, Allstar Weekend’s bass player. On March 23, Queiseng and Gomez joined Taylor Swift and Glee’s Cory Monteith for a double date at the bowling alley. After another bowling outer, Gomez even posted a Twitter picture of herself saying, “I won.”

Jonas and Gomez must be serious about this breakup, because Gomez even un-followed her ex-flame on Twitter (gasp!). She means business.

“All of the fans received roses,” said a representative for Jonas. “One of the songs on Nick’s CD is called ‘Rose Garden,’ so he wanted a great flower shop as one of his stops. Nick is very grateful for his fans and wanted to do something special to give back to them for their love and support.”

About 100 people showed up to the 45-minute performance. Jonas was accompanied by his father, guitar player Sonny Thompson and his security guard. He played “Who I Am,” the title track off his debut album with Nick Jonas and the Administration.

After the show, Jonas spent the evening with Selena Gomez, whom he is rumoured to be dating again.

Almost immediately after news broke that pop star Miley Cyrus had split from boyfriend Justin Gaston, speculation arose that she and her ex, Nick Jonas, have rekindled their romance. According to mtvnews.com, the teens haven’t done too much to discourage the rumors: On Thursday, photos of Miley and Nick jet-skiing in Georgia emerged, and next Tuesday, their duet, “Before the Storm,” will be available for public consumption on the JoBros’ new album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times.

When Miley spoke to radio station 107.5 The River in Tennessee, it seemed like romance was not out of the question.

“He’s my best friend, and we still hang out all the time, and we’ve definitely reconnected,” she said when asked if it’s weird to work with her ex. “And we don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but right now we’re just kicking it and hanging out as much as we can.”

The pair started to ignite rumors when they were seen at lunch together a few months back. Miley further explained that the two have managed to put any old problems aside to focus on the future.

“We both just kind of saw each other again and kind of decided this whole thing was stupid and … we all were over the separation,” she said. “And our families are super happy that we’re hanging out again.”

Miley Cyrus has finally spilled the beans–she’s in love with Nick Jonas.

Er–was.

“Nick and I loved each other,” she says in the September issue of Seventeen magazine. “We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

The 15-year-old Disney stars dated for two years, and broke up at the end of 2007.

“Since then, I’ve realized that I’ve met so many great guys, but I like being the girl nobody can have.

“No one can touch me, no one’s mine.

“I’m myself. I think it’s sexy to do your own thing.”

While Cyrus remains single, the Jonas brother is rumoured to be dating another Disney star–Selena Gomez, 16.
