Selena Gomez Says She's 'Getting to Know' Nick Jonas

Selena Gomez is speaking out about her relationship with Nick Jonas – sort of.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress, who has been rumored to be dating the Jonas Brothers star, addresses the rumors in the upcoming issue of TV Guide.

"I've gotten really close to the entire Jonas family this past year," she tells the magazine. "Nick and I are getting to know each other, but we're not confirming anything."

Gomez, 16, also says that "there's no feud" between her and fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus. The YouTube video that sparked the rumors, "was completely blown out of proportion. That video was ages ago, and it's so irrelevant and not important to everything else going on."

Nick Jonas has a new best friend: a golden retriever named Elvis.

The pup was a birthday gift from his family, according to the band's rep. The youngest member of the Jonas Brothers band, who turned 16 on Tuesday, named the pup for two of his favorite musicians, Elvis Costello and Elvis Presley.

Though the band has been busy working on its upcoming film, Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Movie (which will open Feb. 22, 2009), Nick still made time for Elvis on Tuesday, taking him for a walk around his L.A. neighborhood.

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.

Miley's '7 Things' Is About Nick Jonas, Says Director | Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas

Miley's '7 Things' Is About Nick Jonas, Says Director

Originally posted 09/02/2008 12:30PM

Despite its peppy beat and catchy pop hook, Miley Cyrus's "7 Things" was inspired by heartache. Sample lyric: "Your friends, they're jerks/ When you act like them, just know it hurts." And that’s just one of the seven things she "hates" about her unnamed ex.

So who's the guy? Brett Ratner, who directed the video, revealed to MTV that prior to solidifying the video's concept, he visited the singer's house and was shown "all of her personal items from under her bed that her ex-boyfriend gave her." (Among the mementos: "Dirty socks and a bunch of photographs.")

And although he never mentioned Cyrus's most famous ex, Nick Jonas, by name – the director does drop one major hint.

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.' "
