The middle Jonas brother and a rising pop star are off the market for now. 

In an interview with Billy Bush’s radio show, singer Demi Lovato confirms she is dating Joe Jonas. 

Lovato goes on to say Jonas is a complete gentleman and he “treats me to the most amazing places.  He’s perfect.”

The couple met in 2007 on the movie set for Camp Rock.

Jonas Brothers singer Nick Jonas is releasing an album in 2010 without his two brothers tagging along.  Nick  made the announcement on the group’s MySpace blog.  Excerpts from the blog is posted below.

“Hey everyone!  The Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up!  Nick Jonas IS working on a side project called Nick Jonas & The Administration.  This project will be released early in 2010.   We are ALL excited about this project.”

“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.”
 
Although they claim they’re not going to break up as a group, I think it depends on whether Nick’s album is a success. 

I remember when Justin Timberlake released his first solo album, and he said N’Sync isn’t breaking up.  As we all know, Justin’s album was successful, and he never returned to N’Sync.  He left the group sitting in the dust. 

Beyonce did the same thing with Destiny’s Child.  I’m not saying this will happen to the Jonas Brothers, but it’s a possibility.

One of the Jonas Brothers is about to be taken off the market. 

In an interview with People magazine, Kevin Jonas, 21, revealed he is engaged to his 22-year-old girlfriend Danielle Deleasa.  Jonas proposed the traditional way by dropping down on one knee. 

The couple met two years ago while they were on vacation with their families in the Bahamas.   A date for the wedding hasn’t been set. 

Kevin is the oldest member of Jonas Brothers.  The group released their first CD in 2006.  Many female fans will probably be upset because their Jonas brother is taken.  But there are still two Jonas Brothers who are unmarried.  So, all is not lost for them.

The Jonas Brothers will be releasing an album Feb. 24, and they recorded a Shania Twain remake for the album.

The brothers remade Twain’s 2002 song “I’m Gonne Getcha Good.”

Shania Twain is one of kind. It will be very difficult for them to pull off that remake.

Nevertheless, they tried it anyway, and we’ll have to wait and see how it turned out.  Typically, when artists perform a remake, they wait several years after the song was originally made.  Shania’s song is only seven years old.

The song will be on the soundtrack to “3D Concert Experience” where the Jonas Brothers shot footage from their previous tour.

Country singer Taylor Swift revealed that her relationship with Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas ended because of another woman.

The woman was actress Camilla Belle who appeared in the Jonas Brothers’ “Lovebug” video.

She told US Weekly magazine, “They’ve been together since we broke up.  That’s why we broke up-because he met her.”

He also said he broke up with her during a 27-second phone conversation.

Dang, Joe. Don’t you think Taylor Swift is worthy of at least a 5-minute break up phone conversation? You didn’t have to reduce her to 27 seconds. That’s cold.

I don’t know who this Camilla woman is, but I’m sure she can’t hold a candle to Taylor Swift.

He broke up with a superstar singer in order to be with an extra from one of his videos.  He is really trading down.

As if we haven’t had enough of the Jonas Brothers already, they have announced that they will have their very own comedy television show on the Disney Channel.

The group will begin working on the show after their done with their tour.

I think the Jonas Brothers are having a competition with Miley Cyrus over who can become the most over exposed musician.
