Forgive and forget? That seems to be the Jonas Brothers' attitude toward Russell Brand.

In England to promote their Disney movie Camp Rock, the brothers say they were not upset at the British comedian for taking swipes at their purity rings and pledges of virginity during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

"For us it's cool to see that he recognizes we are gentleman," Nick Jonas said Tuesday during an appearance on BBC Radio's Newsbeat program.

Plus, the teen stars say, they had an army of fans by their side.

Said Kevin: "We had a lot of friends there and everybody's so nice. We had a good time."

Jonas Brothers Get Ready for Their Own New TV Series, J*O*N*A*S

Originally posted 09/04/2008 04:05PM

After the success of their TV movie Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers are now prepping for their own Disney Channel original series.

"It's going to be about us as a band but dealing with normal things like trying to take out the trash and not get hounded by fans," Joe Jonas tells ELLEgirl magazine about the series, called J*O*N*A*S. "It's going to be a funny show, and it's going to be a great cast."

The show – originally about the boy band living a double life as spies – has recently undergone a conceptual change. The trio, who just released their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer, told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS-FM radio show that the series will now be more like HBO's Flight of the Conchords.

So what's it like for Demi Lovato to be on tour with the Jonas Brothers?

"They always have my back," Lovato, 15, said before a performance Saturday at Arthur Ashe Kids Day at the U.S. Open in New York. "They're very protective."

Kevin Jonas, 20, makes sure she has her water. Joe, 19, helps the self-professed klutz stay upright onstage, pointing out steps and other things that might trip her.

"I'm very uncoordinated," said Lovato as a gaggle of her elementary school and 'tween fans screamed from the stands. "I'm surprised I don't fall onstage more. They're like, 'Watch your step.' "

Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift: New Couple?

Originally posted 08/21/2008 04:45PM

Taylor Swift says that Joe Jonas is just a friend. But the Jonas Brothers cutie fueled all those "Are they an item?" rumors when he turned up at the country star's concert on Sunday night.

Hiding among a group of people, Jonas, 19, arrived at the Rascal Flatts concert in the West Palm Beach Cruzan Amphitheatre five minutes before Swift, 18, took the stage.

"I spotted Joe quickly, but he was trying to hide from the crowds by tucking in-between a few people," says Mishelle Rivera, Assistant Promotions Director for Miami's Y-100 Radio. "He was wearing a baseball cap and real casual dress so he wouldn't stand out."

Rivera and her friends saw Jonas near the soundboard – next to Swift's dad – ready to watch Taylor, who sparkled in a sleeveless turquoise sequin dress and cowboy boots, perform her number one hit, "I'm Only Me When I'm with You."

"I'm pumped!" Joe said in an interview Friday in New York with Radio Disney on-air personality Ernie D.

"Don't worry," adds his brother, Kevin, 20, "there were lots of helmets given."

Joe blew out 20 candles, including one for good luck, on a strawberry shortcake birthday cake and his brothers and parents sang "Happy Birthday" to him along with the rest of radio station staff. –Sharon Cotliar

Jonas Brothers Reveal Coping Mechanism: Caffeine!

Jonas Brothers Reveal Coping Mechanism: Caffeine!

The Jonas Brothers have a not-so-secret weapon for coping with a hectic schedule: caffeine!

"I have an energy drink when I wake up and a coffee when I eat breakfast," Nick Jonas tells Teen magazine in its summer issue. But that's not all. "Then [I have] a coffee at dinner and an energy drink right before I go onstage. Then I'm good."

And no wonder Jonas needs the boost: He and his brothers – Joe and Kevin – have a slate of upcoming projects in the works. After touring with Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne earlier in the year, the rocking trio are preparing for Camp Rock, their made-for-TV musical, which will air on the Disney Channel on June 20. In it, Joe says he gets to play a world-weary rocker named Shane Gray. But despite his band's success, the middle brother says he's not really like his character.

It's not just their vocal cords that the Jonas Brothers have to get ready before they do a show – as evidenced by their Valentine's Day concert preparations at the Balance day spa inside Houston's Hotel Icon. Kevin, Nick and Joe went in for manicures and pedicures to help them relax and have some fun before their big show later that night, headlining without Hannah Montana at the Toyota Center. The next stop on their Look Me in the Eyes Tour: Minneapolis's Target Center, on Wednesday, Feb. 20. When you're done looking in their eyes, check out their nails.
