 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."

A stagehand eventually spared his blushes by handing him a clip to keep his costume intact.
A source tells Star magazine, "He scurried over to the side of the stage and someone handed him a paperclip. He looped in through the buttonhole and stitched up the fly onstage while (bandmates and brothers) Nick and Kevin distracted the crowd."

Kevin, 21, is gearing up for his marriage with fiancee Danielle Deleasa and his younger siblings Joe and Nick are planning "something crazy" for the stag do, despite protestations from the groom-to-be.

"Kevin keeps trying to plan his own bachelor party, and that's not going to happen," 19-year-old Joe told CTV's etalk, adding: "So we are going to figure out the right place and have fun and it's going to be a good time."

No further details of the planned shenanigans were disclosed, but it appears clubs of a sort will be a no go.

Joe explained: "(Kevin) wants to do golfing but that just seems a little too normal. We have to do something outrageous and fun. Something crazy."

Miley Cyrus has denied The Jonas Brothers are to join her on tour.

The singer-and-actress made a guest appearance at the trio's Dallas show in June but insists they will only be part of her 'Wonder World Tour' as audience members.

She told MTV News: "I went and saw the Jonas' show and it was cool being able to go to a Jonas Brothers concert. It was super fun.

"We don't have time for any guest appearances or anything. I think a lot of my friends will be able to come and visit. You know, the problem is a lot of my buddies are busy working too, but I hope they all can at least catch a show. That'd be really great. It was cool to be able to see the Jonas Brothers' show and I hope they'll be able to come here."

SEPT 19TH

The oldest JoBro was able to slip away from the set for a bit to hit the Toronto Film Festival.

Keep reading to find out where he went and what he did…

Kevin was a surprise guest at a special screening of Youth in Revolt, a comedy starring Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, Ray Liotta and newcomer Paula Doubleday, at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre.

"Kevin came in a side door to let the stars of the movie be in the spotlight," reports a fellow premiere-goer. "Backstage before the movie started, he talked with the cast and the filmmakers."

Despite having woken up that day at 7 a.m. for a full day of shooting, Jonas showed no signs of sleepiness. He was dressed in jeans, V-neck T-shirt and tuxedo jacket.

"He was chatting about his engagement, how he loves golf and about how he has a house in L.A. but their home base will always be Texas," the source said.

Meanwhile, the youngest brother of the musical trio, Nick, celebrated his 17th birthday with a new piano. People magazine reports the family surprised him by buying the hotel piano that he used to write "A Little Bit Longer." Camp Rock producers gave him a ping-pong table.

“I don’t know,” she told MTV News. “I went and saw the Jonas’ show and it was cool being able to go to a Jonas Brothers’ concert. It was super fun.” But she noted that if the boys do make an appearance, it’ll be as audience members — her tour doesn’t allow for special appearances like the one she made at their show in June in Dallas.

“We don’t have time for any guest appearances or anything,” she added. “I think a lot of my friends will be able to come and visit. You know, the problem is a lot of my buddies are busy working too, but I hope they all can at least catch a show. That’d be really great. It was cool to be able to see the [Jonas Brothers'] show and I hope they’ll be able to come here.”

And just in case her friends think they have seen it all before, Cyrus promises that this tour will be a lot different than her Best of Both Worlds trek and that her look — which includes a costume change that has her donning a bejeweled bodysuit — will be “pretty wild.” “It’s something that I couldn’t do for a while,” she explained about the show, which kicked off September 14 in Portland. “It’s definitely more mature. It’s super fun. It’s kind of for everybody.”

Abril.com: How is it to travel with the Jonas Brothers?

Miguel Gandelman: They’re very young. Around them it’s always business, their father is their manager, but the boys are still young. They feel the need to be with young people. They’re always there with us, playing ping pong, playing baseball. And they’re always together.

Have you ever worked with a phenomenon like them?

I had never worked with an artist that was a teenage phenomenon. I played with Diana Ross, Sting, Michael Jackson, people that weren’t this phenomenon where the person is bigger than the music and the kids are screaming and go after you.

Is it always like that?

It’s a lot of screaming, and the funniest part is that it’s unbelievable. I was on stage and there girls trying to grab me, this girl came and untied my shoelaces. The other day one girl got my glasses. It’s something unbelievable, a loud mess. We went to Brazil and played for 60.000 people. For me, as a Brazilian, it was unbelievable, everybody sang all the songs.

And how are they as musicians? Is Nick really the most talented?

They’re all very talented. The oldest one [Kevin] plays the guitar, the middle one [Joe] is a very good singer and Nick is the maestro of the situation. They’re very professional. Nick, I could say, is their musical director, but they’re all very talented. Their father is a musician too, he was a pastor, singer and pianist.

How long are still going to play with the Jonas Brothers?

We’ll stop in September, because they’ll make a movie. We already have a proposition from Quincy Jones, who’s completing 50 years of career. We tour again with the Jonas Brothers in November, and we’ll go to Europe until the end of December. In 2010 we’ll be with them again. And we just received a proposition from Rod Stewart to record an album with him.

"They both are [my best man]," Kevin said in a radio interview with Canada's Hot 89.9FM Radio during a tour stop in Ottawa. "[Deleasa] actually has two sisters, kind of the same age as well. It works out really well because there are two maids of honor and two best men."

Last month, Nick tried to play it cool when asked if Kevin had picked which brother was going to be his best man. But he did reveal that Kevin and Danielle were possibly planning a winter wedding. "They have not set a date yet, but I think that it'll be sometime around the end of the year, beginning of the year — something like that," Nick said. "We've talked about it a little bit [about who is going to be best man]. He's working it all out, but we'll see what happens."

But Joe revealed in an earlier interview that he had his hopes set on being Kevin's best man. "I want it. I'll be the best best man ever," he said, also revealing the best man plan for any future Jonas weddings. "Eventually if I get married, [the best man is] gonna be Nick, and when it's Nick, [the best man is] gonna be Frankie."

So it was a whirlwind of a summer, seeing our fans all across the US, Canada and Mexico. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception. It was unforgettable and our favorite tour yet. To think of the new friends we’ve made, Jordin Sparks (and her band), Wonder Girls and Honor Society we can’t wait to see you guys again soon.

It’s been a bit of an adjustment waking up with no schedule, flight or amazing fans outside the venue to welcome us to a new city.

We also want to thank our incredible crew and support team for the hard work during the summer. We couldn’t have done it without you guys and will always remember all the fun we had.

And last but not least…. To all the Road Dogs fans…”WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!!!!” Keep your hopes up for a great 2010 season.

And for all those, you know who you are, I’m keeping a game of catch phrase ready for you!

Every audience wants to believe it’s unique and the Jonas Brothers, like most touring acts, did their darnedest to make last night’s Rogers Centre crowd feel special.

They delivered the typical “we love coming here” shtick and lauded the “familiar and new faces” greeting them since they were in town for the MuchMusic Video Awards in June. But there was an authentic air of novelty when Kevin Jonas declared “this is the biggest crowd we have performed for on this tour,” which concludes in Ottawa today.

It’s true: Toronto loves them some Jo Bros at least 56,000 strong. And for the naysayers been chattering about the group’s decline in popularity – their concert film only grossed a third of Miley Cyrus’s, and the new TV show got off to slow start – that’s the second-most concert tickets sold here this year. That’s just behind U2 (estimated 58,000-60,000 for each of their two Sept. dates) and ahead of Coldplay (45,000).

Of course many of those seats belonged to chaperones of the 7-to-12-year-old girls who comprised the bulk of attendees.

However, the New Jersey trio of Nick, 16; Joe, 20 and Kevin, 21, dressed in shades of black and grey, put on a show with much more musical depth and maturity that fan base would augur.

There were a few neat party tricks – massive rotating in-the-round stage with a trampoline in the middle and runaways out into floor seats, a white piano that rose out of the floor, a smaller hydraulics-pumped stage – but no fancy choreography, multiple costume changes or fireworks.

Heralded by a tape of Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” the fellas rose up through the middle of the stage and launched the tasteful, music-focused 100-minute set with “Paranoid” from current disc Lines, Vines & Trying Times, followed by “That’s the Way We Roll” and “Poison Ivy.”

Not that you could actually hear the band, given the feverish fans who were either screaming or singing as loud as they could.

Those rock-star parents who shelled out $15.50-$95.50 for an end-of-summer treat should also have been entertained by the purity ring-wearing sibs.

For one thing, the ensemble’s live sound is more rock ‘n’ roll than kiddie pop, plumped by a driving 10-piece band, including four horns and two violinists. Then, playing solo piano on “Black Keys,” Nick spun a moving tale about being diagnosed as diabetic four years ago and asking the doctor “Am I going to die?” The upshot of this was not to be defeated by challenges, which may come in handy as a teaching tool. And how about that cover of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline?”

Unexpected treats included the appearance by singer Demi Lovato for “This Is Me,” and a bouncing version of the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” Nick, the crowd favourite, also played drums and guitar. Kevin concentrated on guitar and did most of the speaking, while somersaulting, microphone-jumping Joe was the most exuberant.

The Jonas Brothers are hard workers, churning out four albums in the past four years, with a massive, young following that’s theirs to squander

[The Star]

SEPT 2ND

More than 17,000 fans, mostly female teens and their mothers and BFFs, were at their decibel-breaking peak last night as the Jonas Brothers put on one of the most theatrical concerts to ever hit Scotiabank Place.

It was a good thing that 21-year-old Kevin, 20-year-old Joe and 16-year-old Nick came with plenty of amplification (and a 10-piece band) because they needed every watt just to be heard over the incredibly loud cheers of fans.

Note to self, bring earplugs and Aspirin next time teen idols come to town.

In case you haven’t heard about these young phenoms, the Jonases are more than fresh-faced popstars who starred in the movie Camp Rock and a 3-D concert film as well as their own television series for Disney called JONAS.

UNRELENTING SHOWMEN

They are an entertainment machine. From the opening chords of Queen’s We Will Rock You that opened their show, the three brothers proved to be unrelenting showmen.

Perched on a revolving turntable at centre ice with two smaller stages at either end, they opened with Paranoid off their new album Line, Vines and Trying Times with Nick and Kevin playing guitars while Joe rallied the crowd to cheer. Nick also sang That’s Just the Way We Roll and Poison Ivy before giving the mic to Joe for Hold On and Play My Music.

“This is our last stop on the tour,” Kevin explained while Nick disappeared, only to re-emerge at centre stage at a white grand piano playing their romantic Fly With Me accompanied by two violinists, and Little Bit Longer all by himself, before telling the touching story of how he discovered he had diabetes four years ago with almost tragic sincerity.

Joe lightened the mood singing Much Better and Year 3000 and Tonight while Kevin rocked his guitar like Peter Townshend and their 10-piece band took turns jumping on a trampoline where the piano used to be.

That constantly revolving stage was a thing of beauty, giving the band and concert a sense of energy, especially when lit.

And even though Nick seemed to be the shyest of the three, he was by far the strongest and most natural musician, even playing the drums during Live To Party.

Joe was the most colourful, playing the host, complimenting the girls on their signs and running back and forth across the constantly revolving stage.

“I feel like going real crazy tonight,” Joe added.

Of course, going crazy meant singing another song — in this case, Gotta Find You featuring violins while their hydraulic stage rose high into the air.

Those boys don’t miss a trick. They included a tune for the parents, with Joe singing a cover of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline and later, thanked their father for being such a good role model.

That must have sounded sweet to all the parents in the crowd.

Jordin Sparks joined them to sing Battlefield after which Kevin performed his own version of singing in the rain to virtual showers on Lovebug.

Occasionally, they tried to make the show look more spontaneous, but in reality, it was a tightly choreographed concert with no element left to chance. I haven’t seen this much theatrical technology since Pink Floyd. But don’t forget, they’ve got the Disney corporation behind them, and with that kind of showbusiness firepower behind them, how can The Jonas Brothers lose?

Earlier last night, Sparks heated things up for the Jonas siblings.

The guys were slammed by the British comic for wearing purity rings and remaining virgins in 2008, but they don't hold it against him. Nick says he wouldn't mind -- too much -- if Brand digs on him and his brothers again.

"As far as his comments were concerned, what we said from the beginning was that he seemed to run out of material -- but if we're the butt of his jokes, it's kind of a compliment in a bizarre way," he tells the BBC.

Hosting the show, which airs Sept. 13, is "great for him," Nick adds. "He has form and ultimately he does a great job.

"We hope he has a good time this year," Nick goes on.

Pink, Taylor Swift and Green Day are expected to perform.

And despite poor box office earlier this year for their 3-D concert film, the three wholesome-looking, well-scrubbed siblings -- singer-guitarist-pianist-drummer Nick, 16, singer Joe, 19, and singer-guitarist-pianist Kevin, 21 -- still managed to sell out the massive stadium.

It appears the Disney Channel juggernaut act, who appeared earlier in the day at MuchMusic drawing hordes of yet more fans, still have some life left in them after all.

Known as much for their music and TV and film projects as their love lives -- Nick has previously been involved with Miley Cyrus, Joe dated both Taylor Swift and Camille Belle and Kevin is engaged to his longtime sweetheart -- the Jonas Brothers first came to mainstream attention as guests on Cyrus' Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana, before hitting it big in last year's Disney movie, Camp Rock. (They said last night that they would begin filming the sequel in about a week.)

Since then they have sold millions of records and broken as many hearts along the way. (They all wear purity rings promising to abstain from premarital sex.)

The Queen anthem We Will Rock You heralded the trio's arrival from beneath their huge in-the-round, rotating stage which boasted a UFO-like lighting rig and a circular video screen as they opened the night with Paranoid, the catchy first single from their most recent album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times.

"Toronto! Let's get this party started right," said Joe before launching into the second song of the night, That's Just the Way We Roll.

But it was the third song of the night, Poison Ivy, that really ramped up the action as the band of brothers was joined by a four-man horn section while steam blasted all around them.

Mindless teenage pop songs with titles like Hold On, Play My Music, Year 3000, Live to Party, BB Good, World War III, Lovebug, S.O.S. and Burnin' Up (with bodyguard Big Rob making an appearance), encouraged massive singalongs and the slightest movement by one of the brothers -- like when Kevin simply spun around with his guitar flying behind him -- prompted major reactions.

"It's good to be back in Toronto," said Joe. "We love it here. We started our last tour here in Toronto. This is the biggest crowd we have performed for so far on this tour."

In a more serious moment, Nick played piano on Fly With Me and A Little Bit Longer, the latter during which he discussed his (Type 4) Diabetes diagnosis four years ago and thanked fans for their support.

"I made a commitment that it would not slow me down," said Nick. "And this past year alone, I met the president of the United States, we've had a second Rolling Stone cover and thanks to all of you, our second No. 1 album. And tonight I'm playing in a place I drove by every day to the set of Camp Rock, and every day, my brothers and I would say, we're going to play there one day."

But it was really the upbeat songs and goofy stunts, like having a trampoline in the middle of the stage on which all three brothers performed flips -- although Joe had a rough landing: "My butt's a big sore right now. I usually land that," he commented later -- that made for some of the evening's best moments.

Joe and Kevin also sprayed water on their fans from a moving crane during Live to Party while Nick handled drums and then the brothers got rained on themselves during Lovebug.

The trio even threw in a decent cover of the Black Eyed Peas' I Got a Feeling leading into their own Tonight and melted more hearts during the ballads I Need to Find You -- which saw their stage lift them up above their band -- Turn Right and When You Look Me In the Eyes.

Their Camp Rock collaborator Demi Lovato also showed up mid-show to sing This Is Me, her duet with Joe, while opener Jordin Sparks appeared towards the end to sing her latest hit, Battlefield.

Now if the Jonas Brothers could just live down their awful cover of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline.

“Maybe I’ll be their wedding singer — who knows? That would be crazy,” Sparks, who toured with the Jonas Brothers over the summer, told MTV News. “So, maybe I’ll get invited, and if I don’t, it’s OK.”

But Sparks does have a song in mind for the wedding — a girl has to be prepared for all scenarios! “I’d sing ‘Lovebug’ … I’m just kidding,” she joked. “Actually, my friend Gina from ‘Idol’ got married, and she asked me to sing at her wedding, and she had me sing ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand,’ but the one from ‘Across the Universe.’ It’s a lot slower and a lot more different, so I might sing that.”

Sparks also revealed that Deleasa is starting to get used to her fiancé’s hectic schedule. She’s already hit the road with Nick, Joe and Kevin, and Sparks couldn’t be happier for the couple. “I know that she comes in and she’ll be on the tour for a little while, and you can just really tell that they’re in love. And they’re so cute, so all the congratulations. I love you guys. You’re amazing.”

“They have not set a date yet, but I think that it’ll be sometime around the end of the year, beginning of the year — something like that,” Nick, 16, told ABC News radio earlier this week.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Kevin, 21, the oldest member of the Jonas Brothers, became engaged to Danielle, 22, in July.

On Monday, Nick revealed he and brother Joe, 20, don’t know which of them will get to serve as Kevin’s best man.

“We’ve talked about it a little bit,” Nick said. “He’s working it all out, but we’ll see what happens.”

Nick said whichever way Kevin goes, he’s just happy to see his brother walk down the aisle with the woman he loves.

“I’m happy for them and we love her, and we’re happy to have her as part of the family,” Nick said.

Kevin previously revealed that Danielle was thrilled at the prospect of becoming a Jonas.

“She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” Kevin told People in July of Danielle’s proposal reaction.

And Kevin’s proud parents also previously shared their joy over the engagement.

“Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage,” Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. said in a statement on the JoBros’ Facebook page in July. “Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family’s celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support.”

The couple met in May 2007, while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas.

The 16-year-old singer, songwriter and member of pop trio the Jonas Bros, spoke on Monday to a sold-out audience at the National Press Club, a venue often reserved for presidents, kings and chief executives but for Jonas had many seats occupied by teenage and pre-teen girls.

Jonas talked about raising awareness and funding for juvenile diabetes, a disease he was diagnosed with in 2005.

Asked about recent trips to Washington, the youngest of the Jonas Bros told the crowd "I've always had this dream of becoming president one day." He said it was "very cool" and "such an honor" to visit the White House earlier this year.

The brothers made a surprise visit to President Barack Obama's daughters in January, and Nick Jonas met Obama in June as part of his diabetes efforts.

In an interview with Reuters, Jonas said his talk of wanting to be president was not entirely a tease. "As much as I joke about it and kind of say it to get a laugh, it is somewhat serious. I don't know if it will happen," he said.

If he goes to college, "I'd probably study English and then political science because I'm interested in it," he said. At the moment, he's touring with his band and will start shooting for TV show "Camp Rock 2" with his brothers in September.

Jonas told the press club audience he has learned to manage his diabetes while keeping a busy touring schedule but had adjusted his diet to help regulate blood sugar.

A song he wrote about diabetes includes a line saying "You don't know what you got 'til it's gone," and an audience member asked Jonas what he was referring to.

"Probably chocolate cake," he joked.

Jonas said he still eats his favorite foods but closely monitors his diet. There have been "one or two moments" during concerts when he asked his brothers to talk a bit longer on stage while he stepped away to check his sugar levels. He wears a diabetic insulin pump on his lower back while performs.

In response to questions, Jonas said he does not currently have a girlfriend and would consider dating a fan.

"I didn't know I was going to get in a suit today and have to talk about that kind of stuff," he said with a smile.

The teen heartthrobs who have benefited tremendously from the patronage of Disney brought a tightly scripted production worthy of the Magic Kingdom to town with smoke, mirrors, lifts, lasers and — on the lower-tech end — a trampoline.

It is a testament to the quickly evolving nature of teen pop culture that the Jonas Brothers were in Lexington less than two years ago as the fledgling openers for then-pop princess Miley Cyrus, who was touring as herself and her Disney Channel alter ego, Hannah Montana. Now they are on their second headlining tour, with an ambitious setup highlighted by a stage that reportedly ran 144 feet across the Rupp Arena floor.

It's a demanding playground that would take some youthful stamina to cover. That's something the JoBros have. They also have instrumental and songwriting chops, and they brought along a crack 10-piece band to help them play. Highlights of the evening were when that band spread the stage, pumping out hits Play My Music and Much Better and a rollicking mom-and-dad sing-along of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline. Other highlights included Nick Jonas playing solo piano on Black Keys and talking about his battle with Type A diabetes.

It was a thoroughly professional, excruciatingly choreographed show for a band that was just establishing itself a few years ago.

Another testament to how much things have changed is that the first opening act, Honor Society, is the first group signed to the Jonas Brothers' own label. Honor Society is a quartet of skilled musicians who made the most of their opportunity on the huge stage, attacking it with boundless energy. All they need is a few strong songs and a sustained popular taste and they could headline in a few years.

South Korean imports The Wonder Girls could have accomplished a lot more by singing another song instead of teaching the audience the dance to their first single, Nobody But You.

The undisputed champion of the under card, though, was Jordin Sparks, the former American Idol champ, who was much more impressive at Rupp than she ever was on the show. She worked all ends of the Jonas' long stage, drawing the crowd into sublime sing-alongs of Tattoo and Air. Sparks was backed by a fun, edgy band that gave her a lot to work with.

Interestingly, she saved her big, current hit, Battlefield, for the Jonas' set in a clever pairing with Jonas' song about tempestuous love, World War III. That pairing gave the end of the show another shot of energy.

What JoBros' set lacked was much room for spontaneity. They have played essentially the same set all summer. And the glossy production really didn't seem to allow for much deviation from the script.

The band's core audience certainly doesn't seem to care. The JoBros came, they rocked, and they gave the fans memories that will last for decades. But in those ensuing decades, many of those fans will come to appreciate less-scripted shows that give you not only what you want, but what you didn't know you wanted.

Nick recounted that until he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost four years ago, he didn’t know anything about, or anybody else with, the condition. That has all since changed. With the love and support of his family, he has learned how to live with and manage his condition. He wrote the song, “A Little Bit Longer,” to share that experience and inspire others. In 2007 Nick went public with his diabetes. The impact of that announcement and his subsequent work with the Bayer Diabetes Care NicksSimpleWins.com campaign has had far reaching global impact, helping to raise awareness of the disease. Much more needs to be done, he said, and he asked reporters to help.

“So many fans with diabetes from all over the world share their stories and thank me for being an inspiration to them,” said Nick. “It’s important for them to know that they motivate and inspire me as well. I’m lucky to have a great support system in my family as well as the tools I need to manage my diabetes properly. By speaking publicly about my experience I hope to increase diabetes awareness, encourage diabetes education and help fundraising for research and other programs for kids with diabetes. The more you report about diabetes, the more people will know,” he told members of the press.

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.

“When Nick talks about diabetes, people listen. And until there is a cure, the greatest weapon against diabetes is increased awareness and knowing how to manage it,” said Nancy Katz, head of North America for Bayer Diabetes Care. “That includes working with a health care professional for guidance on regular monitoring of blood sugar and A1C levels, proper diet and exercise and having a positive attitude to achieve every day simple wins.”

Since the announcement of their partnership last year, Bayer and Nick have taken many steps to inspire young people with diabetes to achieve their simple wins: small, everyday victories for managing diabetes that can lead to big differences over time.

In recognition of his efforts in raising diabetes awareness over the past year, Bayer presented Nick with another $100,000 donation to the Jonas Brothers’ Change for the Children Foundation to support its ongoing commitment to pediatric diabetes.

In August 2008, announcing the start of their partnership with Nick, Bayer presented the Jonas Brothers with a $100,000 donation for their foundation. In the interim, Nick and Bayer created special dog tags, like the one Nick wears featuring a lyric from his song, “A Little Bit Longer.” Proceeds from the sales of the dog tags benefit the Jonas Brothers’ Change for the Children Foundation. The dog tags are available through www.NicksSimpleWins.com for a donation of $5. Since the dog tag program launched in November 2008, it has raised an additional $75,000 for the Jonas Brothers’ Change for the Children Foundation.

As this year marks the 40-year anniversary since Bayer introduced the first portable blood glucose meter, the company hopes that its ongoing partnership with Nick reinforces their commitment to diabetes management.

A rep for the Jonas Brothers confirmed that the raven-haired singer has signed on to judge alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, People reported.

Joe will judge in Dallas, TX, on Monday August 24.

Previously, a FOX executive told reporters that “Idol” was looking for a host of women to fill the slot vacated by Paula Abdul, who decided not to return to the “Idol” judges’ table. Joe will be the first male guest judge this season.

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham recently filled in on two separate stops on the “American Idol” auditions cross-country jaunt.

Katy Perry, Mary J. Blige and Shania Twain have also been confirmed as upcoming guests.

And in related news, according to the Los Angeles Times, Kelly Clarkson, the original “American Idol” winner is in talks to also take a seat on the panel to help whittle down the batch of contestants.

Reps for Joe and Kelly were not immediately available for comment.

Exciting stuff, huh? Can't for that episode!

AUG 18TH

The Jonas Brothers seem so clean-cut and, well, normal, which seems so unusual for young stars these days. Surely, there's some dirt you can dish on them?

—Laura

Oh yes. Yes, there is. Those three guys may wear promise rings, credit God for their success and field all manner of praise from journalists for their politeness and admiration of accomplished musicians. But they are not free of sin. Behold! The top five biggest Jonas Brothers scandals! Revealed...

1. Their ladies take the Lord's name. In vain. Both Miley Cyrus—a known off-and-on associate of Nick Jonas—and Danielle Deleasa, fiancée to Kevin, have been quoted as saying "Oh my god." Has anyone in the Jonas family taken any sort of action? No. No, they have not.

2. Someone out there does not think the Jonas Brothers are amazing. Trace Cyrus, Miley's brother, was recently quoted as saying the Jonas Brothers are "fake." What manner of insult did the brothers commit to offend this tattoo-covered man with multiple piercings and no discernible career? The entire Jonas camp is closing ranks. Clearly they're hiding something.

3. The Jonas Brothers used to charge about $40 per concert ticket. Now they charge closer to $80, and all we're getting are front-row seats, killer special effects, real singers playing real instruments and a band that has sold roughly 8 million records. Know who else charges that kind of money? Springsteen. Charges roughly $90 per ticket. Just what are these punks trying to say?

4. Nick got snippy once when a reporter asked about that ticket price.

5. They are completely lying about their age. "What people don't really understand," Joe Jonas told a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter, "is that we secretly are over the age of 40, and so we've already lived through our shelf lifetime, so we're pretty much just going back and trying to reinvent ourselves."

J'accuse, Jonases. J'accuse.

The Jonas Brothers are gracing the cover of Rolling Stone for the second time in a year — but the most recent issue, out Friday, is a special collector's edition.

The limited-edition issue, which features tons of photos as well as archives of interviews with the guys, a trivia quiz and posters, is a must-have for any Jonas Brothers fan. It also includes a recent interview in which the guys discuss their big summer tour, which kicked off on June 20 in Dallas.

"I had this dream as a kid where I'm standing onstage with just a white spotlight," Nick recalled in the issue about getting to live his dream. "Now that moment happens every night in our show."

Fans will also get an intimate look at what the guys do while on the road, like playing wiffle ball with each other and watching movies like "The Hangover." "Usually we like to tour, tour, tour; but sometimes you're just exhausted, so we try to go home to relax," Joe shared.

The guys, who recently got to host the Teen Choice Awards, also wax poetic to the magazine about what musicianship means to them. "Music theory bores me," Kevin said. "It's all about feel for me."

But for Joe, the true rush comes from hitting the stage every night and hearing the fans shout his name. "When fans are screaming all around you, you're like, 'Whoa, awesome.' "

On Saturday, tween-pop's reigning princes returned for another sold out show, this time at the 16,000-capacity New Orleans Arena. Mothers with very young daughters -- kindergarten-age was not uncommon -- occupied many seats. The youngsters -- and some mothers -- screamed like banshees.

Kevin, Joe and Nick are smart enough to realize that such adulation, while lucrative in the short term, is finite. Little girls grow up and move on. Eventually the brothers must appeal to those not inclined to lose themselves in the dense thicket of their ample eyebrows.

That transition is underway. The tag line on Rolling Stone's recent Jonas Brothers cover reads "Boys to Men." The clouds-on-the-horizon title of their current CD is "Lines, Vines and Trying Times." Its surprises include the rapper Common guest-starring on "Don't Charge Me for the Crime," a wrong-place, wrong-time saga about a bank robbery.

For slightly more than 90 minutes Saturday, the brothers Jonas relied mostly on the strength of their songs, many of which they wrote or co-wrote. Making due without dancers, they churned out credible, unfussy guitar pop backed by 10 auxiliary musicians, including a four-piece horn section and a pair of violinists.

The horns punched up the opening "Paranoid," from "Lines, Vines and Trying Times." The show's early going drew heavily from that album's highlights, including "Poison Ivy" and "Fly With Me."

They are also growing into older material. The sweeping ballad "When You Look Me in the Eyes" fares better now then two years ago. "Lovebug" morphed from an unselfconsciously sweet, mostly acoustic treat to an unapologetic rocker. "Gotta Find You" held up fine with just acoustic guitars, violins and harmonies.

A stripped-down, piano-driven "Turn Right" was also sturdy. Fans sparked up the evening's personal illumination device of choice -- $10 souvenir Jonas Brothers glow-sticks.

The sleek production did not overshadow the songs. The in-the-round stage configuration featured a multi-tier, circular center platform flanked by two satellite stages. The main stage's outer ring spun slowly, affording all in attendance some face time. At one point, the center circle became a trampoline on which Joe and Nick frolicked.

A three-layered LED video screen, shaped like an inverted wedding cake, hung above the stage. Fog and lasers abounded. In the night's coolest effect, "rain" falling from a lighting rig formed hearts and the Jonas Brothers logo.

Of the three, Nick, the youngest, was the MVP. His guitar, piano and vocal contributions were equally adept; he even rocked a flying-V guitar on "World War III." While his brothers fired off foam cannons from atop a crane during the rave-up "Live to Party," he supplied the song's double-time drums.

The night's emotional centerpiece, such as it was, found Nick alone at a white piano for "Black Keys." To his own accompaniment, he embarked on a lengthy monologue about a life-altering moment: The day in November 2005 he was diagnosed with diabetes.

He recounted asking the doctor "if I was going to die." Alarmed little girls throughout the arena screamed "No!," traumatized at the prospect of Jonas mortality.

"With tears in her eyes," Nick continued, "the doctor said, 'No, you're going to be all right.'" He then "made a commitment that I would never let it slow me down." To that end, he and his brothers have in recent months met President Barack Obama, scored another No. 1 album and landed on the aforementioned cover of Rolling Stone.

And three months into the current tour, his health is "better than it's ever been. You are my inspiration."In a more light-hearted moment, parents were afforded an opportunity "to embarrass your kids" by singing along to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline." Joe marked his 20th birthday with a mass "Happy Birthday" singalong.

If anything, the JBs are perhaps too comfortable in their roles. Between songs, they offered little more than cliches. The footage of their fabulous rock star lives that flashed on screen during "That's the Way We Roll" was self-reverential. Inviting fans to hold up their homemade banners all at once felt just a little patronizing.

Whether the same girls will still flaunt Jonas Brothers banners five or 10 years from now is unknown. Tween-pop stardom can be a tough stigma to shed, whatever the music's merits. Ask Hanson.

But I'm not inclined to bet against the Jonas Brothers.

After a final "Burnin' Up," they escaped via a barricaded passageway along the floor. Outside the arena, the unknowns of AllStar performed an acoustic set on the sidewalk. AllStar hails from San Diego, features a young, handsome/pretty lead singer, and is newly signed to Hollywood Records, the Disney-owned label for which the Jonas Brothers record. In a classic, if scaled down, scene of tween-pop critical mass, young girls gathered, screamed, and pressed in close for AllStar autographs.

The Jonas Brothers had already moved on.

Disney has gathered its brightest stars, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers for a "We Are the World"-like music video for Friends for Change: Project Green. "Send It On" is meant to unite the kiddies in green living and protecting planet Earth.

That's probably why they ditch the big stage and energy-sucking bright lights for the great outdoors. At first, we were really distracted by the oh-so-convenient intimate pairing of Miley and Nick Jonas. And then we were bugged by Joe Jonas wearing yet another pink shirt and impressed with Selena out-adorabling the lot of them. But we guess there was some sort of charitable point.

Somehow, though, the whole thing seems far less poignant than Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and tons of other major stars teaming up for humanitarian aid in Africa. Maybe that's because it had nothing to do with powerful mice.

"I think it's unfair, 'cause when I hosted, I was all by myself," she told MTV News on the red carpet for the awards show, which was taped Sunday and airs Monday night (August 10). "So I'm sure all three of them can, you know, work it out."

Cyrus is confident that Nick, Joe and Kevin will be able to handle their hosting responsibilities, especially since they aren't flying solo like she did in 2008. "I'm just saying, I think it's unfair," she said sarcastically. "I needed three of me. I needed help."

All joking aside, Cyrus did have some advice for the brothers. "Have fun," she said. "And be prepared for the prompter not to work."

While she didn't host this year, Cyrus did perform, spoofing her Tennessee roots while singing her new single, "Party in the U.S.A." "[My] performance tonight is funny, but I wanted it to be about [something more]," Miley explained. " 'Party in the U.S.A.' is an all-American song, and so I come out tonight and I'm literally in a trailer park. It's a blinged-out trailer park."

Miley Cyrus rode a wave at the Teen Choice Awards.

The teen queen sailed away with six surfboard-shaped trophies at Sunday's ceremony. Cyrus won for comedy TV actress and comedy TV show for "Hannah Montana," music/dance movie actress and hissy fit for the "Hannah Montana" movie, music single for "The Climb" and summer song for "Before the Storm." She also presented Britney Spears with the ultimate choice award.

"I'm a huge fans of hers," Cyrus said before a subdued Spears accepted her own surfboard.

Cyrus was among several multiple award winners at the 11th annual ceremony at Universal Studios Hollywood's Gibson Amphitheatre.

Show hosts the Jonas Brothers kicked off the ceremony by performing "Much Better" on a tiny stage that moved through the audience. They won five awards, including choice male red carpet icons and breakout TV show for "Jonas."

The biggest winner of the night was vampire drama "Twilight," which sucked up nine movie awards: choice drama, romance, liplock, rumble, drama actress for Kristen Stewart, drama actor for Robert Pattinson, villain for Cam Gigandet, fresh face female for Ashley Greene and fresh face male for Taylor Lautner, who will also appear in the upcoming sequel, "New Moon."

"We'll see you guys in theaters Nov. 20," Lautner teased the squealing crowd.

Other big winners included "Gossip Girl" and Zac Efron. Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick picked up drama actor, actress, villain and TV series awards for the sudsy CW series while Efron won for music/dance movie actor in "High School Musical 3" and comedy movie actor and rockstar moment in "17 Again."
