JONAS BROTHERS: New SayNow

We sent a msg! Call our #SayNow at 818-748-8887 or click http://bit.ly/2FiVxl to listen to it.

** They talk about their new Facebook gifts.

GLEE: Mr. Schue is going solo

We think all you Gleeks are going to love this!

There's been rumors of solo records from different members of the Glee cast, including Lea Michele. And, now Matthew Morrison has confirmed he'll be doing one of his own!

Describing the sound as Justin Timberlake meets Michael Buble, Morrison explains:

“Right now, I’ve almost finalized a record deal and am going to be working on an album. It’s going to be different...It’s going to be me and a big orchestra, but also with beats. I want to be like the next Gene Kelly. I want to kind of do it all. I want to have a career in movies, television, music and Broadway – but have them all be separate, their own entities."
Sounds good to us, but will Matthew be joining the Glee kids on their rumored summer 2010 tour?

“You probably know as much as I do about it. I just read about it online. I don’t think I’m going to be involved in that. Mr. Schuester likes to take his summer break.”

TAYLOR SWIFT: Unstoppable

Congrats, Taylor!

Is there a certain similarly named boy you want to celebrate with?!

JONAS BROTHERS: Mama J talks Danielle Deleasa

Momma Jonas is doing a lot of talking these days!

First, she blabbed to the media about Nicky going solo.

Now, the mother of the Jonas Brothers, aka Denise, has taken it upon herself to gush to reporters about Kevin's fiancee, Danielle Deleasa!

"I really think she is the right girl," says Denise.

Momma Jonas has even told Kevin, "You're marrying your mother - but she is just thinner and prettier."

She says that Danielle has been accepted by the entire family, including the youngest Jonas, Frankie: "He really loves her and is proud of her.. He already acts like a little brother [to her]."

Jonas also seems to be suffering from empty-nest syndrome, realizing that her role as the mom "has really changed" since the JoBros became tween phenomenon, but no matter how old the kids get, she's "always their mom."

MILEY CYRUS: Crazy fan tries to threaten her back to Twitter

This is probably a hoax, but does she want to risk it?

A campaign to get Miley Cyrus back on Twitter has been revealed and it's ain't pretty!

The website MileySaveFuzzy.com is threatening to kill Fuzzy the Cat for a meal unless Miley returns to Twitter by November 16th! The website has pictures of fuzzy and even lists cat recipes!

"The other day I asked myself: 'What can I do to bring Miley back to Twitter?' Fan video? Petitions? Letters? That never works. Heck, Miley even made her own video about never wanting to use Twitter again. Then I looked at my cat, Fuzzy and I realized, maybe Fuzzy can help. Fuzzy can make the ultimate sacrifice for this cause. It was very difficult for me, you see, as I sincerely love Fuzzy. But my mind is made up. I could always get another cat, but nothing can replace Miley's tweets for me!"
So what's it going to be, Miley?!

Fuzzy's fate rests in your hands!

GOSSIP GIRL: A Christmas Carol

It wouldn't be the first, nor the last show to spoof the holiday classic for some ratings.

There are rumors floating abound that Gossip Girl will be visited by three spirits this season - a la A Christmas Carol. We don't know too many details, other than the rumor that Chuck's dearly departed father returning may play into the storyline by haunting Ed Westwick's character.

Chuck does kind of fit the criteria of a modern Ebenezer Scrooge.

And they sure could use a good gimmick to get some ratings!

GLEE: Song goes gold

With their tracks selling like hotcakes on iTunes, it was bound to happen sooner or later!

The Glee cast recording of Journey's Don't Stop Believin has been certified gold after being downloaded (legally) more than 500,000 times!

Actress Lea Michele says:

"The great thing about our show is that some of the songs that we do sound very close to the original and others are completely re-done and 'mashed up.' It's great that we've brought these old songs back and we've put a new twist to them, while still honoring the amazing songs that they are."

7 of the cast recordings are on the iTunes top 200 chart and singles from Glee have been downloaded more than 2 million times! Matthew Morrison proudly states of the show:

"I feel like we're revitalizing the music industry. The younger generation hears songs they never heard before through out show. And I'll be bold as to say that I think some of the records we're doing are even better than the originals."

Volume 1 of the Glee soundtrack is out November 3rd.

TWILIGHT: To be re-released night before 'New Moon' premiere

Summit Entertainment said Thursday it plans to rerelease the vampire-romance actioner in more than 2,000 theaters for one day only on Nov. 19 -- the day before the mini-major opens sequel "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in even wider release.

"Despite the first film already being on DVD, fans across the nation have been calling out to see the film once again on the big screen, and the studio is honoring their request," Summit said.

"Twilight" has rung up $191.5 million to date domestically and $383.7 million on a worldwide basis. Unspooling last Nov. 21, the franchise originator sunk its teeth into bigger than expected opening weekend boxoffice, totaling $69.6 million in U.S. and Canadian coin.

Summit said "Twilight" tickets would be sold at a discount at select sites.

TWILIGHT: K-Stew impressed by Lautner's muscles

Kristen Stewart is "astounded" by Taylor Lautner's new muscular physique.

The 'Twilight Saga: New Moon' actress is impressed with the way her hunky co-star has improved as an actor and bulked up for the upcoming installation of the vampire thriller franchise.

She told Total Film magazine: "The cool thing is that it's not just physical. You can read it all over him, just in his entire attitude. The difference between the kid that did 'Twilight' and this guy now is pretty astounding."

The couple first worked together when they filmed last year's hit romantic fantasy film and have spent the past few months shooting love scenes for the sequel - which focuses around the relationship between his werewolf character Jacob and her alter-ego high school student Bella.

Taylor, 17, admits it was a struggle for him to get in shape for the highly-anticipated follow-up.

He said: "When I was filming 'Twilight', I knew that Jacob's character changed a lot so if I wanted to continue portraying him correctly, I had a lot of work ahead. So I started hitting the gym. I got a personal trainer. I started eating a lot of food and cut the sugars. It was a lot of work, but it was definitely worth it."

TAYLOR & TAYLOR: Swift dodges Lautner questions on Ellen

Country star TAYLOR SWIFT turned coy on U.S. TV on Thursday when she was quizzed about her reported romance with TWILIGHT hunk TAYLOR LAUTNER.
The Love Story singer was happy to talk about the two Taylors' new movie Valentine's Day during an appearance on comedienne Ellen DeGeneres' chat show, but when the host showed off photos of the pair together and hit her with personal questions, Swift squirmed in her seat.
Swift joked that a recent ice hockey date was a coincidence, stating, "I really like hockey a lot, and it turns out so does he."
And when DeGeneres asked her if Lautner is a good kisser, the giddy teenager played with a ring, starred into her lap and giggled, pretending not to have heard the question.
She smiled, "What?"

JONAS BROTHERS & DEMI: 'Bounce' was Nick's idea

Earlier this month, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato took some time out of their busy "Camp Rock 2" shooting schedule to film their funny music video for the parody rap song "Bounce." The video features the guys in various getups and wigs, rapping and singing with Lovato.

When MTV News caught up with her on the set of the video for her single "Remember December," she explained that the idea was all Nick's. "I think a lot of you guys out there heard about the music video out there, 'Bounce,' " she shared about her favorite "Camp Rock 2" moment. "One day Nick [Jonas] came up to me on set like, 'Yo, I got this new song. I have a beat to it and it's really sick.' "


She was initially apprehensive about the song, not realizing it was meant to be funny and that Nick didn't intend for it to be serious. "I was like, 'Oh, OK, good — 'cause I was about to say something,' " she joked.

Demi and all three Jonas Brothers then decided to shoot a video for the song. "We ended up shooting the music video one day before we all went to work," she said. "It was just so much fun. It was incredible."

However, this might not be the last you see of "Bounce" — Demi teases there may be more installments in the future. "I had so much fun doing that," she said. "Maybe you should watch out for the sequel."

GOSSIP & GAGA: Lady G to make cameo appearance on Gossip Girl

"Gossip Girl" is going gaga for another queen bee.

Lady Gaga will bring all her kitsch and charm to the set of the CW show when she makes a cameo to serenade none-other than Manhattan socialite Blair Waldorf and her guests at a private party, according to People.com.

Gaga reportedly filmed a performance of her new single "Bad Romance" for the show. 

The quirky songstress confessed that at least one member of her family is a huge fan of the wildly popular series. 
"My little sister is the hugest 'Gossip Girl' fan ever," Gaga told People.com.

Blair Waldorf, played by Leighton Meester, is a student at NYU, the same school Lady Gaga eventually dropped out of. 
"I loved NYU, but I thought I could teach myself art better than the school could. I really felt New York was my teacher, and that I needed to bite the bullet and go it alone," she told Elle magazine.
"I wasn't interested in going to frat parties. ... I was really interested in the music scene and waitressing and cleaning toilets, or whatever the f--- it was I was doing." 

The episode will air on Nov. 16.

DEMI, MILEY, & JESSE: Concert for Hope

Three of the hottest young stars in music joined forces for a good cause in California this weekend.

Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Jesse McCartney performed for Disney’s 2nd annual Concert For Hope last night (October 25) at the Nokia Theatre to benefit the City of Hope cancer research, treatment and educational programs.
The performers made sure to put on an entertaining show, but there was also a few touching moments, like quite possibly the biggest of the night when Miley sang her hit “The Climb” to a little girl stricken with cancer.

JONAS BROTHERS: Blog. We are NOT breaking up

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 

WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP
Hey everyone!
 
#1 – The Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up!
 
#2 – Nick Jonas IS working on a side project called
 
Nick Jonas & The Administration
 
#3 – This project will be released early in 2010
 
#4 - We are ALL excited about this project AND what we are doing TOGETHER!
 
#5 – We plan to make music together for as long as we can.
 
To our dearest fans,

A news story hit the internet today concerning Nick Jonas & The Administration. We are so excited to share it with you…OUR FANS.
 
From Nick:
 
About 6 months ago, the three of us had a 2 week break from touring, and we all decided to go and do something that was on our hearts.  Joe went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand.  Kevin spent some time with his fiancé Danielle.  I decided to go to Nashville, TN to make a side project (Nick Jonas & The Administration) with 4 musicians - guys that I had met and worked with before.  If I was to describe the sound to someone… I would say its “heart & soul”, because the music that I make is from my heart, and the lyrics I write are from my soul.  
 
We’ve said from the beginning of our career as the Jonas Brothers that anything we do outside of the group is a side project because you can’t break up brothers.  My brothers are my biggest supporters, and were on the phone with me every day while I was in the studio asking how it was going, and telling me they couldn’t wait to hear the record.
 
 My brothers and I couldn’t be more excited to have these amazing opportunities as a group, and as individuals. We are already planning another world tour AS THE JONAS BROTHERS next summer, and it is all thanks to our amazing fans.
 
I am so excited to share more details about my project with all of you as we come closer to the end of the year, but for right now, Kevin, Joe and I have a show to play in Venezuela!
 
From Joe and Kevin:
 
We are so proud of our brother Nick.  We know that we will be doing music together for the rest of our lives. But we are thrilled for you to hear these songs that were on his heart.  They are amazing works of art from an amazing talent…our brother. We will see you later this year, next year, and hopefully for the rest of our lives.
 
“A three chord strand is not easily broken”, and one thing’s for sure… this three chord strand is stronger now than it’s ever been.
 
You are truly the best fans in the world, and we love you with all our hearts.
 
JB
Kevin, Joe and Nick

JONAS BROTHERS: Confirmed. Nick Jonas solo album

Could this mean the end of the Brothers Jonai?

Unlikely!

But, The Jonas Brothers' mom, Denise, reveals to Parade.com that the youngest JoBro Nick is going to try going it alone!

"Nick is working on a solo act -- it's called Nick Jonas and The Administration," Denise says. "Shhh! He's at the photo shoot for the album cover right now."

With Kevin getting married and Nick pursuing other endeavors, what is Joe doing these days?

Oh THAT'S right!

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Are you upset at all by Nick going solo? Excited? Comment!

TAYLOR LAUTNER: Likes to keep his clothes ON

Better him than Kellan Lutz!!!

Tweens maybe dismayed to hear that Taylor Lautner doesn't actually like walking around without his shirt on, at least when it comes to his film roles. He recently explained that he is hoping to be known in the industry as more than just a "body."

We'd be more concerned for only being known as that kid from Twilight!

Regardless, Taylor is looking to take roles that will feature his talent, rather than his abs. But he's not stupid either: "If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."

We say, flaunt what you got, Taylor! You may find you'll get farther in this business if you do!

TAYLOR & KANYE: To appear on SNL on the same night?

We hope they pull this off!

Word on the street is that producers at Saturday Night Live are working overtime to book a "SURPRISE" cameo by Kanye West when Taylor Swift hosts the show in November.

Sources tell us this is very likely to happen!

We think T-Swizzle would have a very good sense of humor about the whole VMA thing and it could be a great career move for Kanye.

The public loves some good old fashioned self-deprecating humor!

At least in department stores!

Want to take Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner home?!

Well, so do a lot of mommies!!!

"We can't keep them in the store. People keep coming in and stealing Rob and Taylor! And it's usually middle-aged women," said a Nordstrom store employee regarding the life-size cardboard cutouts of the Twilight hunks to promote the New Moon fashion line.

And the weird thing is that the witness insists that these cougars are NOT taking them for their kids!!!

JORDIN SPARKS: Stole Simon Cowell's car!

Jordin Sparks once did something very naughty — she stole Simon Cowell’s car for a free ride home!

The singing sensation — who won the sixth season of American Idol — says the last time she was in London she hitched a ride in the music mogul’s luxury motor so she didn’t have to pay for a taxi.

Speaking to Fearne Cotton on the UK’s BBC Radio One, Sparks, 19, was asked if she had seen Cowell since she arrived in the UK.

“No not since I’ve been here,” she said. “I actually don’t have his number so I don’t really call him up when I come over here and if we run into each other, that’s OK.

“Actually, the last time I was here I did ride in his car though, he wasn’t in it but it was awesome.

“I don’t remember how that really worked out, but we were leaving dinner and there was a car sitting out there and it was Simon’s driver. I was like: ‘This is awesome!’

“So he was talking to me about Simon and everything and I was like: ‘Does he sit back here?’ And he was like: ‘Yes, I’m a little uncomfortable’.”

JONAS BROTHERS: Nick encourages kids with diabetes

NEWBURY, England, October 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers has expanded his role as a diabetes ambassador to the UK with the announcement of a new partnership with Bayer Diabetes Care to provide young people and their families with the motivation and support they need to help simplify life with diabetes. Bayer Diabetes Care UK and Nick announced their partnership with Bayer making a donation to the Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation to support Nick's goal of helping children with diabetes.

Nick, now 17, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13. He is passionate about sharing his personal story because he knows so many young people like him can feel alone and even embarrassed by the condition. Nick feels that it is important to take what he's learned and what works for him and pass it along to others who may be feeling the same way.

"So many fans with diabetes from all over share their stories and thank me for being an inspiration to them. Nearly every day I hear from someone like me who says that I make them feel it's OK to have diabetes and it's really cool that I can do that," said Nick. "I know I'm lucky because I have a family that encourages me a lot. I want to give that same inspiration to other kids with diabetes, and working with Bayer lets me do that." Nick's passion for helping other young people with diabetes by sharing his experience is just one of the ways' he "gives back" to fans. He and his brothers, Kevin and Joe, started the Jonas Brothers Change for the Children Foundation through which they donate funds to several causes including pediatric diabetes research, education and treatment.

Bayer and Nick share a common goal of helping people with diabetes simplify their lives by achieving "Simple Wins": small, everyday victories for managing the condition that can lead to big differences over time. For Nick, a Simple Win is about making other kids with diabetes feel like they can live their dreams and have a positive outlook.

To celebrate the partnership Bayer Diabetes Care and Nick invite kids and teens with diabetes to enter the Bayer "Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest" online for a chance to win exclusive tickets to see the Jonas Brothers live during their UK tour in November and meet Nick and the band backstage.

Another Simple Win for Nick is writing lyrics, performing and making music. One example of how he was able to creatively express this was through his song about living with diabetes, "A Little Bit Longer." Now he wants to encourage other young people with diabetes to share their creativity and their own personal Simple Wins through the Bayer "Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest."

"With this contest, I hope people are inspired by others' entries, as well as encouraged to submit and share their own, but most of all, I hope that everyone has fun with it," said Nick. "Diabetes can be hard to live with, but when you manage it well, you can still do the things you love most in the world."

To enter the Bayer "Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest," young people with diabetes between the ages of 6 and 18 are asked to submit a creative expression of their Simple Win. The submission can be original song lyrics, photography, painting/drawing, poster, collage or another form of creativity. Once the Simple Win entry is complete, applicants can go to http://www.NicksSimpleWins.co.uk to complete the registration form and find out postal information to enter. The competition will run throughout the month of October exclusively.

The contest will close on November 02, 2009 when the top 20 favourite Simple Wins will be picked by a team of judges. Those lucky entrants will win tickets to attend a Jonas Brothers concert and will get to meet Nick and the band backstage; runners up will win exclusive signed Nick Jonas souvenirs.

Through the partnership, young people with diabetes and their families can also log onto http://www.NicksSimpleWins.co.uk where they can check out more about Nick's personal experiences, read Nick's blog posts and share in Nick's ideas on how to achieve Simple Wins. Also available to download is "A Little Bit Longer"; Nick wrote this song when he was having a particularly hard day managing his diabetes and feels supported when his fans sing along to the lyrics.

Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease where the body doesn't produce enough insulin or where the body cannot properly use the exiting insulin. Insulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of the glucose levels in the blood circulation. In the UK an estimated 25,000 children under the age of 18 have diabetes[1]. Type 1 diabetes, one of the two major types of diabetes, is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. With type 1 diabetes, your body produces little or no insulin, which may result in many complications if glucose levels are not controlled.

Nick uses the new Bayer CONTOUR® meter, to test how much glucose or sugar is in his blood so he can determine how much insulin he needs as well as to see how his treatment regimen is working. It's the first thing he learned about managing his condition.

"I check my blood sugar level up to 12 times a day so it's very important that my meter fits with my lifestyle," said Nick. "My new Bayer CONTOUR® meter lets me personalize the settings when I need to test myself before a meal or reminds me to check after a meal depending on my schedule on a specific day."

Express Your Simple Wins Contest Terms and Conditions

The contest is open to eligible UK residents between the ages of 6 and 18 who have been diagnosed with diabetes. Restrictions and limitations apply. See official contest rules for more information. Prize winners will be notified on or about the 09 November, 09.

MILEY CYRUS: Fans prep for ultimate concert experience

Glittery pink or purple nails?
It's not a complicated question. But a girl primping for the Miley Cyrus concert Tuesday night knows that color is everything.
Tweens and teens had waited months for concert day. Many of them planned their outfits days — scratch that — weeks ago to replicate their favorite Disney star.
So when it came time for Delaney Snyder, 7, to choose her nail polish, she froze. A stylist at the Sweet & Sassy salon in Papillion's Shadow Lake Towne Center suggested princess pink. So Delaney went with it.
ADVERTISING

More young girls are booking salon appointments — for hair up-dos, manicures and pedicures — before music shows to make the night more memorable. Parents say they don't mind dishing out for the extra curls because it's a part of the concert experience.
That experience can include a ride to the concert in a pink limo. If you book a service through the salon — and you do it before everyone else — you can engage the limo for the cost of mileage. One family booked a pedicure just to travel in the Pepto-colored car.
Mom took photos as Delaney held her hands out for the paint job.
“She's having so much fun,” said Jeni Snyder, who was enjoying the mother-daughter bonding. They drove two hours from Columbus, Neb., to make their hair and nail appointment before the concert. Three of Delaney's friends had appointments, too.
“A lot of girls do this,” said Marie Yakes, the owner of the spa-salon party store. “We had a ton of them who set up appointments before the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato concerts.”
Nearly 50 pre-concert makeover appointments were marked on Sweet & Sassy's schedule book. The salon was booked solid from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. A grandma, mom and her twin girls came from Gothenburg, Neb., for their Miley makeovers.
During the makeovers, Delaney and her friends wore fuzzy boas and pink robes with leopard-print trim. They snacked on candy and posed for pictures on a mini-platform stage. They also sang Miley Cyrus songs on the salon's karaoke machine. They practiced “G-N-O (Girls Night Out)” and “Party in the U.S.A.” Some watched Miley movies on flat-screen TVs.
The girls gossiped about their hair and how cool it was not to be in school. When asked what their teachers thought of them ditching, Delaney laughed.
“It's OK,” she said. “They knew. They wished they could have gone.”
She kept flipping her fingers through her curls until the stylist pinned her hair up into a tight bun.
“If I had the chance to meet Miley, I'd probably fall forward,” Delaney said.
“And I'd fall backwards,” said her school friend sitting next to her.
Delaney tried to copy a Miley outfit from a poster she has hanging in her bedroom. She did a pretty good job. The wide-eyed brunette wore shiny black stretch pants, a British flag-printed T-shirt and yellow ballerina flats.
“I would have never put yellow shoes with an outfit like that,” Mom said. “But I guess if Miley can pull it off, Delaney will.”
Just a few feet away sat Reese Janssen, another buddy from Columbus. She was the only girl who had Dad there, too —by accident. He was in Omaha getting a cast put on a broken ankle.
“She won't miss a (Miley) TV show,” Jeremy Janssen chimed in. He knew the concert was a big deal for 6-year-old Reese, so he made time to stop by the salon.
Just how big a deal was it?
“She's been listening to Miley music every night before she goes to bed,” said mom Jill Janssen.

JOE & DEMI: Dating RUMOURS

JOE JONAS has moved on after his split from actress CAMILLA BELLE - the pop star is reportedly dating CAMP ROCK co-star DEMI LOVATO.
The Disney sensations grew close after appearing in the musical last year (08) and they are scheduled to share a movie set again when Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam goes before cameras.
However, the pair is rumoured have more than a work relationship.
Joe, 20, publicly displayed his affection for 17-year-old Lovato earlier this month (05Oct09) on a double date at a Toronto, Canada restaurant with older brother Kevin and his fiancee Danielle Deleasa.
A source says, "They're more than just friends."
Belle and Jonas, who previously romanced Taylor Swift, ended their romance in July (09).

GOSSIP GIRL: Lively and Crawford's day of filming

Out for another day’s work, Chace Crawford and Blake Lively were paired up for an afternoon of filming on the set of “Gossip Girl” in New York City on Wednesday (October 14).

The small screen duo grabbed a coffee drink at a nearby Starbucks while biding their time between scenes - with Miss Lively’s maltipoo poodle, Penny, seated on her lap while vying for a little attention.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Blake spent the previous evening out on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of “Where the Wild things Are.”

Meanwhile, both Lively and Crawford stepped out to support Penn Badgley on Monday night for the premiere of his new flick “The Stepfather”.

TAYLOR SWIFT: Unlucky in love

Taylor Swift has no dating rules.

The 'Love Story' singer - who previously romanced Jonas Brothers star Joe Jonas - is still trying to figure out how relationships work and treats each man differently.

She said: "I think the reason I write about love so much is because I have no idea what is going on with love. It's unpredictable and I haven't figured it out yet.

"Every love story is different and I like to approach every person I meet like they're a separate book, rather than a chapter in a whole book. I don't have one general theory for how to date a person."

The 19-year-old blonde also admits she's not very good at forming relationships because she gets shy when she meets a guy she likes.
She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "I would probably run in the opposite direction if I saw someone I had a crush on... and then write a song about it! Shows why I haven't had successful relationships."

JONAS BROTHERS: Kickballers

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Five lucky Jonas Brothers fans and their friends and family members had a lot more to cheer about this weekend. That's because they submitted the winning videos in a Green Screen Community video contest during the Jonas Brothers' recent world tour. The winners were hosted this past weekend by Verizon Wireless and LG Mobile Phones, compliments of Connecticut's Mohegan Sun, for a fun-filled weekend, which included a Saturday night concert at Mohegan Sun Arena. The following day the lucky winners played kickball with Kevin, Nick and Joe at the Kick for Change event held at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn., home of the Connecticut Defenders baseball team.

The Kick for Change event provided tickets to the game to members of the community who have made it a priority to give back. The event highlighted the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation and its mission to support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and a will to succeed. The Jonas Brothers' team, the Kickballers, featured the Jonas Brothers, as well as heroes from the Connecticut chapters of the Special Olympics, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the United Way. Other local organizations that took part in the Kick for Change included the Boys and Girls Club, the Norwich School District, the Norwich Police Department and several local domestic violence organizations, among others. All equipment and officials for the game were provided by the World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA).

Fans in attendance at Kick for Change had the opportunity to donate their old phones to the Verizon Wireless HopeLine® program during the event. Proceeds from HopeLine are used to provide wireless phones to victims of domestic violence and cash grants to non-profit advocacy organizations that promote domestic violence prevention and awareness.

JONAS BROTHERS: Uncasville, CT. Mohegan Sun. 7:30PM Show

The Wonder Girls sang two songs. I don't know what the first one was called, but the second was obviously "Nobody" & they taught everyone the dance before they sang. I remembered the dance from World Tour. It was funny watching my mom learn & dance to it though. She kept calling them the Asian "Pussycat Dolls."

They kept showing 4 girls dressed at Teletubbies on the big screen. Before they started singing Year 3000, they brought the 4 Teletubbies on stage plus one of their friends & let them sit on stage. It was adorable. Two of them were crying.

Joe was wearing his white skinny jeans with a black shirt through most of the show. But, he eventually took it off & was wearing a beautiful blue tank top. He looked gorgeous.

As for the mini-joner comment. Joe's pants were super tight. During Tonight, he leaned back & I spied the mini-joner. Maybe it was full-fledged but I was up pretty high so I couldn't tell.

When they were singing Gotta Find You, they paused and showed the whole crowd on the screen. I wasn't really paying attention since I was actually tweeting but my mom said it went a little something like this: 
Nick: Pick any cute girl out of the audience & sing it to her.
Joe [to Nick]: I think you're pretty cute.
Nick: *just kinda shrugs & grins*
How cute!

Joe was talking about Camp Rock 2. I'd love to tell you what he said. I couldn't hear.

Kevin talked about finding the one you love, the one person that's right for you. He said that he found her and it feels pretty awesome.

Nick didn't tell his diabetes story. He said it was a night to party. And he didn't really sing too much of A Little Bit Longer.

They didn't sing a few songs from World Tour. They didn't play Live to Party or Much Better. Those are the only three I can think of, but it could be more.

There's always a lot of energy at their concerts, but there was something about tonight that was even more energetic. They just seemed so thrilled to be on stage. Nick smiled SO much. It was so adorable!

**If I think of anymore, I will put updates!!!**

JONAS BROTHERS: Wonder Girls opening for the CT shows

I was looking up Jonas Brothers news to post tonight and came across Connecticut's newspaper website. The Jonas Brothers never formally announced who would be opening for them but here is what was posted:

Jonas Brothers with the Wonder Girls, Arena, Mohegan Sun casino, Route 2A (Exit 79A off I-395), Uncasville; Ticketmaster.com (203) 624-0033.

I guess the Wonder Girls are opening. I wonder if there will be another suprise guest. I certainly hope so.

MILEY CYRUS: Denies family rift rumours

MILEY CYRUS has dismissed reports her relationship with movie co-star LIAM HEMSWORTH is driving a wedge between the singer and her father BILLY RAY.
The Hannah Montana star was rumoured to be dating Hemsworth after meeting him on the set of her upcoming movie The Last Song. 
Their budding romance was alleged to be heating up so quickly, the teenager's dad Billy Ray Cyrus was growing concerned the superstar's new love was moving too fast. 
A source told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper the relationship was "causing a lot of conflict in the family". 
But a representative for Miley and her dad have shot down the claims, telling GossipCop.com, "There's no truth to this." 
Cyrus has previously brushed off reports she and Hemsworth are a couple, insisting she doesn't "have time for a huge relationship".

MILEY & LIAM: Liam thinks Miley should delete

New Miley Tweet said the following: "FYI Liam doesn't have a twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason. (via @mileycyrus)"

This tweet seemed strange to me. Almost like I didn't believe she tweeted it. And is this her way of telling us that they're dating? I'm not sure. But I'm darn curious. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out and find out what's possibly going on.

UPDATE: Miley did delete her Twitter tonight. People are all a-twit over it. Miley fan sites are already deleting too.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? About all of this?

JONAS BROTHERS: No winter tour

10/06/09 Message from JB
Hey guys,

It has come to our attention that dates for a possible December concert tour somehow found their way onto the internet. Due to scheduling issues we're sorry to inform you that this won't be possible. We look forward to a wonderful touring season in 2010.

At this point we have no specific events planned and no plans for any... If that changes we will of course include the fan club. So we'll keep you posted there.

Thanks and love,
JB
