X Factor contestant Lucie Jones makes West End debut alongside Nick Jonas in Les Miserables


Lucie Jones has made her West End debut playing Cosette in Les Miserables alongside Nick Jonas.
The former X Factor contestant, who was the fifth act to be sent home in last year's show after famously losing to John and Edward Grimes, said she was 'so excited' before Saturday night's performance at the Queen's Theatre.
Lucie's appearance on the show was particularly important for her, as she previously turned down the chance to audition for a part in the musical to try her luck on The X Factor.

Kevin Jonas interviewed by Daytona girl

 

This week's local celebrity, Pavlina Osta, did it again! She was granted an interview with Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers at Saturday's American Music Festival at the Daytona Beach Bandshell. Pavlina, who her mom describes as "very tenacious," got the 1.4-minute interview with the pop star in the VIP room before the show started. Pavlina said that while she is a fan of the Jonas Brothers, she is not quite as "crazed" as some of the girls at the festival, who she felt were on the verge of having a "heart attack." The interview, which will be aired on Pavlina's Saturday morning radio program, can also be heard by clicking on this link.

Read more about Pavlina in the full-length article about her.

Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas: Can They Still be Friends?

The romance! The breakup! Camp Rock 2 costars, tour mates, and former It couple Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas on being together . . . and drifting apart.

They're both talented, good-looking, and famous, but Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato don't exactly have the world on a string: Simpler pleasures, of the sort afforded to other kids their age, sometimes elude them. Earlier this year, when the Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam costars decided to test the romantic possibilities of their rock-solid friendship, they felt compelled to do so in public; when they broke up just a few months later, Joe announced it by issuing a statement, and Demi—always true to her loyal fans—decided to confirm the details on Twitter. "I kind of learned throughout this whole experience that having my private life public isn't as awesome as it might seem," the seventeen-year-old says with a rueful little laugh.
Even the process of scheduling their pre-split sit-down with Teen Vogue, for example—at which the then-couple agreed to interview each other—was complicated by their inability to appear together without risking mass hysteria. But for the most part, they seem to be fairly at ease with all the attention: After a daylong press junket, Demi's famous laugh is still as loud as ever, and Joe, 20, is chipper and ready to chat. (Naturally, they were more subdued when they spoke to Teen Vogue again after their breakup, but more on that in a bit.)

Demi Lovato: What's your favorite thing about me?
Joe Jonas: Do you really want me to answer that? Why don't you tell me: On set, what was your favorite snack? Because I think I already know.
Demi Lovato: The tomato-cheese quesadillas. Do you remember those? They were so good. What did you think it was?
Joe Jonas: Cheese sticks.
Demi Lovato: We didn't have cheese sticks!
Joe Jonas: Well, for some reason, I imagine you eating a lot of cheese sticks.
Demi Lovato: [Laughs] Thanks.
Joe Jonas: They just seem like something you would like.
Demi Lovato: I do love cheese sticks.
Joe Jonas: There you go.
Demi Lovato: So what was the hardest thing for you about making Camp Rock 2?
Joe Jonas: Finding time to sleep. There were so many things to do. If I wasn't on set, I was cooking or working out. What about you?
Demi Lovato: I think it was balancing sleep too. Even though I wasn't working out, I was dancing, sometimes for hours on end.
Joe Jonas: Have you ever been to a real summer camp?
Demi Lovato: Yeah, I went to church camp when I was in the sixth grade. What about you?
Joe Jonas: I went to sleepaway camp seven years in a row. I was such a pro. We had these relay races at the end of every summer, and the majority of the competitions were eating contests. Sometimes you would have to eat, like, a whole can of Spam; once I ate four raw potatoes. I didn't really recover for weeks after that.
Demi Lovato: Eww!
Joe Jonas: In some ways, making this movie felt like camp all over again. During breaks, we weren't hanging out in trailers—we were going down to the lake or playing in the woods.
Demi Lovato: We met when I auditioned for Jonas. What was your first impression of me?
Joe Jonas: I saw right away how smiley you were. Obviously, I didn't have a say in who was going to be cast, but it ended up being a good thing that you didn't get that role. If you had, you wouldn't have been in Camp Rock.
TEEN VOGUE: You guys were friends before you started dating. Whose idea was it to take the next step?
Joe Jonas: Mine.
TEEN VOGUE: So, Demi, you didn't already fancy him?
Demi Lovato: I had always fancied him. Want to know what actually happened? One night I asked him, "What is the deal? We're perfect for each other. What are you doing?" And he was like, "This is really awkward. I have to go."
Joe Jonas: I needed time to think.
Demi Lovato: And I thought, Great, I just ruined a friendship. But then the next day, he came knocking at my door.
Joe Jonas: Once she confronted me, I kind of confronted myself.
TEEN VOGUE: Joe's been in a couple of very high-profile relationships—with Taylor Swift, and Camilla Belle—and Demi's dated Trace Cyrus. Was it ever hard to see each other with other people?
Demi Lovato: Every girlfriend he had, I always wanted to have a friendship with, because I felt like if she was worthy enough to be with him, then she must be great. It sucked, watching, but I was always happy for him.
Joe Jonas: It wasn't easy.
Demi Lovato: Sometimes it was like, "So my boyfriend is so awesome." "Well, my girlfriend is really great." "Good for you!" [laughs]
TEEN VOGUE: You've sung together frequently. Do you like the same kinds of music?
Demi Lovato: I sent Joe some music from one of my favorite bands, Neon Indian. And he, in turn, introduced me to Michael Bublé. I also showed him who the Jonas Brothers were, and Joe's been a fan of them ever since.
Joe Jonas: Well, I used to like the Jonas Brothers.
Demi Lovato: And then they became mainstream.
Joe Jonas: She listens to harder music sometimes than I would. She'll say, "Listen to this great song."
Demi Lovato: And he's like . . . scary!
Joe Jonas: It's like, I'd much rather go see a happy movie.
Demi Lovato: And I would rather see an action film. So we alternate. We do other things too. We've had Easter egg hunts.
Joe Jonas: Not on Easter.
Demi Lovato: [Laughs] We've gone to Disneyland. We've made pizza. We go to dinner, on nice dates. And he cooks for me—he's good.
Joe Jonas: I love making Italian food. And coconut chicken.
Demi Lovato: I'm a vegetarian, though, so I just eat the vegetables.
Joe Jonas: I make vegetarian stuff too!
Demi Lovato: What are your goals?
Joe Jonas: I'd love to act more. I've had to turn down multiple movies because I was on tour, but it's encouraging to know that someday there might be the right role, the right timing. And I've been writing a lot of music, so hopefully very soon I'll have recorded a project of my own. I also want to get a boat and open a restaurant. What about you?
Demi Lovato: I want to be able to play more serious parts. I think it would be awesome to play an Angelina Jolie–type role in an action movie. Musicwise, I want to try new sounds. I want to be fearless.
TEEN VOGUE: Is there one question that no one ever asks you that you want to ask each other?
Joe Jonas: Demi, do you think you'll ever eat meat again?
Demi Lovato: Yeah. I'm not necessarily against it. I just don't like the taste, and for environmental reasons. What's the point of hurting the world if I don't like it? But I'm not saying I'll never have another hot dog for the rest of my life. My question for you is, Would you ever shave your head?
Joe Jonas: Yes. I've already asked my dad if I could.
Demi Lovato: Why does your dad get to decide?
Joe Jonas: I can't just shave my head. There's a lot more that goes into it than with the normal 20-year-old. But I will, for sure. I've always wanted to.
Postscript: Less than 48 hours after their interview, Joe and Demi decided—mutually, Joe insists—that it was better to be friends. A few days later they agreed to talk to Teen Vogue (this time separately) about their breakup. "It could have been better timing," admits Joe, calling from Washington, D.C. "But there's never really a good time for something like that. I really care about her." Demi, speaking from the Los Angeles set of her show Sonny with a Chance, was less guarded than her ex: Asked if she'd felt something was missing between them, she says simply, "No." Asked if that meant it was his decision to end things, she says, "Yeah."
"We haven't spent any time together since everything," she says, "because that would be awkward, but I'm sure things will go totally back to normal once we're on tour together. It's just that at this point I'd rather be hanging out with my girlfriends than seeing my ex." Joe, for his part, is eager to resume the close friendship they once had. "In this business," he explains, "it's really hard to find people who are going to be there for the rest of your life. When I met Demi, I knew right away that our friendship was really strong. I don't want to lose that ever," he says.

NEW Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam Commercial

Crowd packs venue for music festival


DAYTONA BEACH -- A temporary portal at the Bandshell entrance read "American Music Festival -- Daytona Beach: The Great American Destination."
With one-third of the pop group the Jonas Brothers on hand, plus the modern rock bands Lifehouse, Honor Society and local pop artists, the festival's kickoff concert Saturday was the destination for an estimated 3,500 people at the peak.
David Newell of the Daytona Beach Fire Department, estimated there were an additional 1,000 to 1,500 on the perimeter of the Bandshell. The city of Daytona Beach had set the Bandshell capacity at 4,700.
Presented by the Community Cultural Foundation, the event was part of that local organization's initiative, with support from the city, to "re-brand" and revitalize Daytona Beach, especially the "e-zone" (entertainment zone) that comprises the Bandshell and Boardwalk areas.
"We got here this morning; there was a line of people who had been here since 2:30 in the morning to get in," said Manuel Bornia, foundation president. "The first person was from Clermont, the second from Atlanta."
"The heat at the beginning affected us just as if it had rained. Yet we still had the diehards out there. However, this evening this place was packed. We're thrilled that the crowd was consistently growing at the end of the day."
Early in the afternoon, Bornia took the stage to address the crowd that, at that time, was about 400 strong: "They said it couldn't be done -- they said no Jonas brother would come to Daytona Beach. Well, guess what? I think we have a Jonas brother in Daytona Beach ... one-third of one of the world's most popular bands."
With that introduction, Kevin Jonas walked onstage. "Thank you so much for coming out -- I know it's a very hot day out there," he said. "We are about to kick off this amazing music festival. I will be your host for the day, so be hanging out, enjoy, stay cool if possible." The city's official high temperature Saturday was 92 degrees.
Reading from small cue cards he held, Jonas introduced each artist before their respective sets, spending about three minutes on stage chatting before exiting until the next act. Jonas introduced Holly Hill pop-rocker Chris Via, one of the festival acts, as "my new friend."
The lack of stage time and the fact Jonas did not perform didn't bother Katie McDonald, 18, and Priscilla Duff, 17, both from Clermont.
"We came to see Kevin Jonas," McDonald said. "I kind of expected him to just be in and out. We got to meet him. We won VIP tickets through the American Music Festival website. He was really nice."
Pavlina Osta, a 12-year-old Port Orange resident, got to interview Jonas in the VIP room before the start of the concert. Pavlina hosts her own local radio show on WAPN 91.5 FM.
"I like the Jonas Brothers' music, but I'm not like a crazed fan like the other girls (who were in the VIP room)," Pavlina said. "I thought they were going to have a heart attack."
Nancy Burgess-Hall, 56, and her husband, Doug Hall, admitted they are not fans of the Jonas Brothers or the other pop and rock artists on the bill.
"We were at the Oyster Pub at the National Federation of the Blind monthly meeting, and we decided to come afterward," Burgess-Hall said. "I've been reading the articles in the paper, and hearing (Holly Hill Mayor) Roland Via talk about it on the radio.
"I think it's a very nice idea. It's very relaxing," she said. "I'm glad to see this happening in Daytona. People are always bad-mouthing Daytona, saying there's nothing to do.
"I've been to some of the e-zone meetings (sponsored by the foundation and city officials). We really need to open this up so the public knows it's here."
The foundation plans to announce the lineup for Labor Day weekend concerts soon.

Joe's tweet about his Journey To Africa



Hello Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have been out of touch for a while but here is what I have been up to over the last few weeks. I have missed you all so much. I would like to tell you a little bit about what I have been doing.

I have seen some amazing things, met some wonderful people, tried some tasty foods, and been inches from HUGE lions. I have also experienced new cultures like I have never seen before.

My journey began in Maun, Botswana, Africa. I brought some of my best friends with me to be a part of this incredible experience. We were all changed by what we saw.

I was able to spend time with many kids and teens that go to school there. Their schools do not have the room to take care of this many people. Some of the classes had hundreds of kids in rooms smaller than most living rooms in the US. We played sports. I tested out my football skills (soccer in the US). We also played songs without by brothers. Felt strange to sing without my brothers but many of the people knew the songs, which surprised me considering that many do not have TV or radio.

I also spent time with some of the babies that were born to mothers carrying the HIV AIDS virus. Out of the entire trip this was one of the most touching moments. I miss those children already. I was close to coming back home with many Joe Jr.s.

One of the most powerful things to see is the joy the people had with so little material things in their lives. They were happy. Some without homes or bathrooms were still happy and wonderful to be with. It makes you think about your own life and the things you have. These people might not have a bed to sleep on but are still happy with their lives.

We went to a couple villages where there were 7 kids with one mother in a home made out of clay and soda bottles. We were able to bring them blankets to stay warm because the nights were so cold.

We all stayed in big tents while we were there with hot water bottles for our feet because it was so cold. Outside we could hear the sounds of monkeys climbing on the tent and Hippos close by every night.

We also went on a couple safaris – a walking safari, horseback safari, and a land rover off-road safari where you are inches from deadly animals.

Occasionally we made our safari guide mad by asking where Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King lived.

I was asked while I was there if I would be a part of an event where kids were taught to respect themselves, others, and your environment. Prince William was the main guest and we spent a lot of time together. It was an honor to get to know him and I look forward to getting to see him again soon.

For the future, I plan on going back to Africa, as well as other nations, to help out in any way I can. I feel like hands-on work is where I feel most satisfied. I look forward to going to different places – not only Africa where I have new friends – but all around the world. It is my goal to spend 50% of my time and life doing what I can to help others.

Happy to be back.

Thanks for your support,

Joe

Our favorite random Michael Jackson covers

Nick Jonas is one of many to put a good spin on an MJ song. (Kyle Gustafson/FTWP)
 
By Allison Stewart
If history has taught us anything about covers of Michael Jackson songs, it's this: The more ridiculous they might initially seem, the better they often are. Who could forget the Filipino prisoners doing "Thriller" (more of an interpretive dance than an actual cover, but still)? Or Chris Cornell's Hail Mary, career-redeeming "Billie Jean"?
In commemoration of the first anniversary of his passing, Click Track has assembled some of the best random MJ covers floating around the Internets. Most were done after his death, with some notable exceptions.
Imogen Heap: "Thriller"
The British singer-songwriter turns in the mellowest, most insidious "Thriller" cover ever.

Nick Jonas: "The Way You Make Me Feel"
Ignore the "Cloverfield" camera work-this is Grade A second generation Boy Pop.
(Brazilian folk, Metallica, and something that, once seen, can never be unseen, after the jump.) 


Caetano Veloso: "Billie Jean"
As discussed in this space back in May, the Brazilian legend's cover includes an "Eleanor Rigby" interpolation.

Various Fluxus artists: "Beat It"
An assemblage of Fluxus Entertainment artists (including Winterplay's Hye-Won) use apps to create a mixed media MJ homage.

Chiptune: "Beat It"
MJ's signature hit is converted into a funky elevator muzak using video game noises.

Metallica: "Beat It"
This one's actually kind of sweet.

Celine Dion: "Bad"
You might have thought it was just an urban legend, but no. This thing really happened.

Kevin Jonas will be there, but he likely won't have his guitar strapped on. Instead, the lone Jonas brother will be introducing the acts at the inaugural American Music Festival, a free day-long concert at the Daytona Beach Bandshell. The headliner will be Lifehouse, which will showcase signature hits and songs of its latest album, Smoke & Mirrors, in a set to start at 8 p.m. Also on the bill: Central Florida band Run Rhino (1 p.m.); kid singer Suite Caroline (1:50 p.m.); pop singer Chris Via (2:35 p.m.); Jonas Records act Honor Society (3:30 p.m.); Daytona Beach band Orange Avenue (4:45 p.m.); funk hybrid City of God (5:45 p.m.) and rock outfit Selby (6:45 p.m.).

Nick's Blog

This Month I have been in London rehearsing the role of Marius in Les Miserables. I will make my debut on the Queen's Theatre Stage June 21st. London's West End has such a buzz to it just like Broadway does in New York City. It is quite the honor for me as I was in Les Miserables in New York when I was 10.
Last month, Bayer and I launched the Give Back - Simply Win Contest to recognize the good work people with diabetes are doing in their communities. We have been getting a lot of great entries, picking the three winners is going to be very difficult. It is so important to give back when you can. If you haven't entered go to NicksSimpleWins.com and tell us about all the great ways you give back. I know you guys are out there doing good and I'm really excited to read all about it.
Be sure to catch the new season of "JONAS LA" which premiered on June 20.

Nick Jonas thanks his UK fans

We are used to mass hysteria where popstars The Jonas Brothers are concerned, so it comes as no shock that youngest member Nick has caused quite a stir while staying in London.

The American singer is in the capital as he is starring as Marius in West End musical Les Miserables.

Speaking after his opening night, the teenager thanked his fans for their support:

''My UK fans have been amazing, they've showed up to rehearsals every day and I have to say thank you.''

Nick will be treading the boards in London for the next three weeks.

Jonas Brothers Joe and Kevin show their support for Nick's West End debut awwww

NICK Jonas of the Jonas Brothers is used to taking centre stage.
But last night Jonas Brothers' Nick Jonas performed in an arena of a very different kind.

The hot American singer made his debut in West End musical Les Miserables - and the whole Jonas family was there to see it.

Parents Denise and Paul as well as equally dreamy brothers Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and little brother Frankie Jonas all flew in to London from the States to see Nick play Marius at the Queen's Theatre.

And Nick, who will be appearing in the musical for three weeks, did the whole troupe proud - receiving a standing ovation along with the rest of cast at the end of the performance.

Speaking after the show, the 17-year-old said: "I'm just getting used to that [the London theatre] mindset. Trying to re-learn how to sing [theatrical-style music] has been interesting and a lot of fun."
 

 

GOOD STAGING

Bravo! Nick Jonas greets the London crowd Monday night after making his West End theater debut as Marius in Les Misérables. "What a night," he later Tweeted, "first show was amazing."

Nick Jonas called on his siblings for some brotherly support last night as he made his West End debut.
The youngest of the U.S. pop sensation The Jonas Brothers was treading the boards at London's Queen's Theatre where he will be playing the part of Marius for the next three weeks.
And he had the love and backing of his older brothers Kevin and Joe as well as their parents Denise and Paul and younger brother Frankie, as they all jetted into the capital to cheer him on.

He made his first appearance in the show, one of the longest-running in the West End, as Marius Pontmercy, a second-generation baron who falls in love with Cosette, played by Camilla Kerslake, 21, Gary Barlow's prodigy who was also making her debut.
And he was given a standing ovation by the audience as his proud brothers looked on.
It had been a nerve-wracking evening for the 17-year-old, who said that learning a different style of music took some getting used to.
We're proud of you, kid: Nick is joined by his brothers Joe (L) 
and Kevin (R) after the final curtain

Speaking to ITN before the show, he said: 'It's a lot different. It's not just the stage elements but the style of singing.
'There's pop music and then there's theatrical style music and I'm just getting used to that mind set.
'And trying to re-learn how to sing like that has been interesting and a lot of fun as well.'
Not that Nick is a stranger to the show, having played the character Gavroche in the New York production just before it closed in 2003, when he was only nine years old.

He has also previously starred in numerous Broadway shows including A Christmas Carol in 2000, Annie Get Your Gun in 2001, and Beauty and the Beast in 2002,
And he shared his joy at landing the role of Marius with his fans via his page on the social-networking site Twitter.
He wrote: 'Can't wait to see the fans who make it out to the show! Love you all. Special thanks to Cameron [Mackintosh] for this amazing opportunity.'

Cameron Mackintosh of course being the producer of the show and the man who brought Nick to the West End.
Speaking to the Daily Mail last month, he said: 'I went up to him at the closing night party in New York and told him he was terrific and hoped that he would one day return to play Marius. We've been in touch a lot and, of course, since then he has become this world-famous star.
'He and his father and I agreed that it would be great if he came and played Marius here in London. He has bent over backwards to fit it all into his schedule.'

But it is Nick's pop career as one third of the Jonas Brothers that he is most famous for, and one where he has performed to thousands of screaming girls around the globe.
And his Les Miserables stint will see fans packing into the theatre for a glimpse of their idol, with some arriving early to see him and his brothers arriving backstage.
But Nick said he wasn't worried that the audience would be filled with screaming girls and said: 'I believe they'll be respectful and they'll know the code of conduct at the theatre. Even if they do scream, it will just add to the excitement of the night.'

Nick Jonas to be National Chair of JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes


NEW YORK, June 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nick Jonas, one third of the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum group the Jonas Brothers, was announced today as the National Chair of JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes.
Nick Jonas, 17, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 13 years old.  He becomes the key figure for the largest fundraising program for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. In this role, Nick will help JDRF increase participation and fundraising in its annual Walks, held in more than 200 locations worldwide.  Nearly 500,000 people took part in JDRF Walks last year, raising some $75 million.  As the National Chair, Nick will attend events to support fundraising efforts as well as take part in promotional videos and television public service announcements for JDRF.
"As a person living day to day with diabetes and recognizing the tremendous contribution the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has done for our community, I couldn't be more honored to serve as the National Chair for the Walk to Cure Diabetes," says Nick Jonas.
"Having Nick Jonas as National Chair will go far towards raising awareness of type 1 diabetes, and what needs to be done to find a cure. Nick has been a wonderful role model for kids and adults with diabetes, and has been invaluable in bringing visibility to efforts to cure this disease," said Leo Mullin, Chairman of Board of Directors for JDRF.  "We have seen the impact he has firsthand, when he demonstrated his commitment to support diabetes research through the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation, and when he testified in Congress for JDRF on the need for continued federal funding for research."
In addition, Nick has helped raise diabetes awareness through his partnership with Bayer Diabetes Care.  Last month, Bayer and Nick Jonas announced a new contest called "Give Back. Simply Win." that encourages people with diabetes to share their stories about giving back, and rewards them for their charitable efforts.  For more information on this contest, please visit www.nickssimplewins.com.
Nick succeeds actor and celebrity advocate Kevin Kline, who was National Chair of JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes for the past four years.

Chelsea Staub on Jonas Co-Stars: “They’re Very Romantic”

Chelsea Staub has one of the best jobs in the world. Not only is she a working actress, but she also gets paid to work with three of the hottest guys around: the Jonas Brothers.


How does it feel to work with such hotties? “It’s amazing,” she exclusively told OK! at a personal appearance recently at Planet Hollywood Times Square. “I feel really blessed in the sense that we’ve been working together for three years now and to get to go to work with these rock stars, who are insanely attractive. But, to have them be nice guys through it all and to be some great friends and people that I would enjoy spending time with even if I wasn’t forced to [laughs]. It’s a great gig. I’m very happy.”


Although she didn’t get to talk to Joe Jonas about his breakup with Demi Lovato, Chelsea still says she’s closest to him “by default.”
“We’re together on the show and Kevin [Jonas] is older and married and Nick [Jonas] is younger. He and Nicole are kind of closer to the same age as each other, so Joe and I kind of end up spending a lot of time together,” Chelsea explains.
“We really enjoy each other’s company, we’re kind of each other’s ying and yang. He’s very funny and kind of all over the place and I’m more like, ‘Joe we have to stay in line.’ So, it’s funny when we’re together. We kind of balance each other out.”

Kevin and Nick Jonas on the set of JONAS L.A.

Jonas Brothers take a page from the ‘Entourage’ book

the Jonas BrothersLIKE every other kid in the country, all the Jonas Brothers want is a summer vacation to soak up some sun.
Unlike every other kid in the country, the JoBros are prepping for concert tour and a shooting TV series. If they can’t sunbathe, they are making do with what they have: outdoor TV sets.
The stars of the Disney Channel’s “Jonas LA” — the new name for the half-hour comedy series “JONAS,” which premiered in 2008 — are giddy recounting the joy at being released from the dungeon of a movie-lot studio for season two of their show.
“For the first time, we were coming back home at night with suntans or sunburns and people were like, ‘Whoa!’” says Joe Jonas, 20.
“If you watched last season, we were pretty pale — we felt like vampires — because we were inside all day. The only time we saw the sun was when it was rising and setting.”
Spending so much time outdoors brings “a whole new element” to the series, he says. For one thing, it is a way to give LA itself a role in the show since “we’re shooting in places that are really famous, and we’re really shooting on the beach.”
In the show, the brothers play highly caffeinated versions of themselves — New Jersey high-school dudes dealing with parentally-imposed trash duty, even though their humble garage band has turned them into international stars overnight.
While the first season came off with a “Monkees” vibe, this season feels like a G-rated “Entourage.”
The reason for that is simple. What the JoBros want, the JoBros usually get.
Before production began, the brothers sat with series executives “trying to think of what we could do for the second season, to change it up a bit,” says Joe. “We all wanted the band to get out of the house.”
They talked about setting a season on a tour bus or galloping around New York. Finally, it was decided to move the show from a fictional New Jersey town to glitz-and-glam LA.
“LA seemed like the right fit right now because all three characters are doing different things,” Joe explains. “My character wants to act, Nick wants to produce and Kevin wants to direct. One major place to be able to do all of that is Los Angeles.”
In many ways, the new attitude “has a much more realistic feel,” says Kevin Jonas.
“I’m 22. Joe’s going to be 21 and Nick’s going to be 18. It feels much more like where we are in our ages. We’re hanging out, we’re driving cars down Hollywood Boulevard. It’s something that people will definitely be able to relate to.”
What’s hard for viewers to relate to is the brothers’ treadmill-like existence. Most people their age would be recovering from spring semester at college, not prepping for a 45-city concert tour.
“We do have breaks!” Kevin insists, adding that they’re part of a balanced schedule.
In the past year, the brothers have ventured off alone more often. Kevin got married. Joe appeared as a guest judge on “American Idol” and Nick went on tour with his own band, Nick Jonas & the Administration.
Somehow, being off on their own lately has made it easier to return to the Jonas Brotherhood, they say.
“We know that the band comes first,” Joe says. Working apart “brings even more musical influences to the table and we have so much more to write about this year.”
Plus, says Nick Jonas, “We’re all individuals who can take care of themselves. But we look out for each other. We’ve got each other’s backs. We really do care for each other.”

Musician And Disney Channel Star Kevin Jonas


The Jonas Brothers’ Kevin Jonas joins Phillips & Company not only to talk about how much he enjoys being newlywed, “Jonas L. A.” on Disney, but also to talk about the great deal for Y98 listeners who want to see them at Verizon on August 6th.

California, here they come: Jonas Brothers move west

Take away the hit TV show and the screaming hordes of tween girls, and you have three brothers who love to make music.

Granted, the Jonas Brothers are more famous than any other sibling trio -- so famous that incredibly massive bodyguards protect them. Yet despite kicking off a three-month tour July 27, Kevin's fairly new marriage, Joe's sputtered romance with Disney starlet Demi Lovato and the paparazzi constantly chronicling their lives, the JoBro seem remarkably grounded.

They're sequestered in a Manhattan hotel, happy to talk music and explain how, for them, music is enmeshed with acting.

They have a lot of both coming up: the tour; the launch of their revamped Disney show, "Jonas L.A.," on Sunday, June 20; and the sequel to "Camp Rock," "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" premiering Sept. 3.

Before TV catapulted them to superstardom, it was all about the music. They started as musicians, backing up Nick, 17, who turned pro at 6.

He performed in Broadway plays -- "A Christmas Carol," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Les Miserables" -- then came back to his home state of New Jersey and performed in "The Sound of Music" at Milburn's Paper Mill Playhouse.

"The initial idea was being around other young people who loved to do what I did," Nick says of musical theater.

Kevin recalls being very young when he was first drawn to the stage.

"There was an open call for a remake of '(Miracle on) 34th Street,' and I got pretty far in the process," he says. "I loved it (acting), and it was fun and a passion, but music always took the No. 1 seat."

The brothers are seated around a large table in a hotel conference room that looks out on a drenched Central Park. Kevin wonders if that night's Yankees game will be canceled because of rain.

"For me, music is something that always feels comfortable," Joe says. "Acting is something I want to do. In L.A. now I'm taking meetings. It's been really awesome."

The new show, as the title broadcasts, places the brothers in Los Angeles. They are in an exquisite house, which comes with a pool and an annoying neighbor. There are starlets, the sights of Los Angeles, but for these young men, there's always the music. And the show works best during the musical numbers.

Their new song, "L.A. Baby," featured on the show has a segment easily lifted out for a music video. In it, they do some California cruising -- Kevin gets a sweet convertible that runs best on Chinese restaurant oil. There are girls and goofy scenes, but it's truly a Disney music video, and parents need not worry.

"Driving down the highway with a California breeze in my hair," Nick sings.

He segues easily between drums and guitar and also plays piano and cello. Nick is very intense as he delves into his music, but his older brothers, particularly Kevin, keep spirits light.

Kevin Jonas - Z100 Interview

Teen Celebrity Entrepreneurs The Jonas Brothers

 


At age 6 Nick was the first in the family in show business, landing a role on Broadway in A Christmas Carol. Ten years later, he's now he's set to star in Les Miserables in London's West End. The 16-year-old toured with his band, Nick Jonas & the Administration, earlier this year, and will join his brothers and Demi Lovato for a second national tour. In 2009 the brothers released their first feature film, Jonas Brothers--The 3-D Concert Experience, an autobiography and a clothing line sold in Walmart, JCPenney and Sears. Jonas LA, their Disney Channel series, debuts this month.

Only 3 days until a big night of premieres on Disney Channe


Sunday night kicks off with part 2 of the "Sonny With a Chance" episode, "Falling for the Falls" at 8pm EST. In "Falling for the Falls Part 2," Sonny and Chad (Demi Lovato & Sterling Knight) have been keeping their relationship a secret for weeks from their fellow "So Random!" and "Mackenzie Falls" cast mates. When the studio decides to end the feud between the two shows, Chad is set up on a date with Tawni (Tiffany Thornton) and 'Chawni' quickly becomes the Hollywood "it" couple. Sonny, not a fan of the coupling, shows up at a Mackenzie Falls party with her own special date.

Next up at 8:25pm EST is the premiere of Selena Gomez's new music video for "Round and Round."

Then at 8:30pm EST is the highly anticipated season premiere of "JONAS L.A."!! Kevin, Joe, Nick, Stella & Macy have packed up and headed to Los Angeles for a summer of fun, music and romance. In the premiere episode titled "House Party," the gang arrives in Los Angeles to begin a summer vacation they will never forget. Their gregarious neighbor, DZ (Adam Hicks), convinces the guys to throw a house party to announce their arrival and Nick invites Emma Roberts to the party.

We know what we'll be doing Sunday night. Make sure to tune in and then tweet us what you thought of the episodes.

Also below, check out some fun photos that Nicole Anderson has been tweeting as a countdown until the premiere.

Some pics of Joe in Africa

Joe Jonas Hangs With Royalty

Joe met up with Prince William today at the Coaching for Conservation in Maun Botswana. The event was centered around teaching kids life lessons through soccer, sports, and good coaching. Joe was only supposed to play one set kicking off the day but was personally requested by the Prince himself to play another set! The two handsome young men got to chat and get to know each other pretty well.

Joe says, "Being able to collaborate with Prince William to bring awareness to the kids of Botswana was a very special experience. It was a great way to show the children they have the world in front of them and can be whatever they want to if they put their mind to it. Meeting the Prince was a true honor and hopefully we can work together again."

4,000 people being in the presence of those two boys must have been incredible. I'm sure we all hope for them to work together again too!
