NOTICES:

MEI: Hello everyone! I added some quick news before I get started on the load of homework I have tonight. I will update later on if I can.

KIMMY: I am slowly fixing around a little the sidebars, so if it looks strange don’t mind it. I also added some news, an article, and some videos.

From Kai – FOUNDATION

My name is Kai Conceicao and I recently started my own foundation in support of the Jonas Brothers and Change for the Children Foundation. While there is much more to come, if you could inform everyone of it, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is my mission statement along with contact information:

Rock For Help is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those in serious need. The term “serious need” can be interpreted in many different ways in today’s society. To those involved with Rock For Help, “serious need” applies to those who need help to see a better tomorrow. “Serious need” applies to those who also want to help others see a better tomorrow. More specifically, this organization is dedicated to helping young people “rock out” and achieve their full potential by raising funds for several specific organizations/charities that recognize and support the foundation’s mission statement.

What does Rock For Help, the youth, and “rocking out” have in common? Two words: Jonas Brothers. The insanely popular group of brothers from New Jersey have not only achieved their dreams of becoming rock stars but also have given back to those who have the same vision and dream of achieving the impossible. Their charitable organization, “Change for the Children Foundation”, according to the organization’s website, helps, “to support programs that motivate and inspire children to face adversity with confidence, determination and a will to succeed.”. We at Rock For Help not only support this statement but also work to help these children by raising funds and donating said funds to several charities supported by the group’s organization. These charities include:

The United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets
American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Camp
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
Summer Star’s Camp for the Performing Arts

By taking just one look at the name of each charity, “serious need” for the youth is not just asking for a spare five-dollar bill to buy a can of soda and a bag of chips. “Serious need” applies to inspiring the youth to achieve and become the very best they can be. With the help of Rock For Help, you are able to help improve the lives of young people and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

Thanks,
Kai Conceicao
Founder

You all probably heard how many youtube channels are trying to get the Jonas Brothers’ videos/account deleted off youtube. They first got “Burnin’ Up” deleted for awhile and then “S.O.S.”! Both videos are for sure up now. Support JB and keep checking their youtube!

“Is Miley Cyrus’ “7 Things” about Nick Jonas? Check out her necklace!” – LA Times – Read More

Miley Cyrus has denied that her song “7 Things” was inspired by one boy in particular.

But according to Brett Ratner, who directed the “7 Things” music video, it may be Nick Jonas who gave her his dirty socks.

As well as the telltale necklace she’s wearing in the music video.

“The necklace she’s wearing in the video is the necklace [the boy] gave her,” Ratner told MTV. “She’s wearing his diabetes or medical necklace.”

Hmmm. Nick Jonas, who dated Cyrus for two years until late 2007, has Type 1 diabetes and is a spokesman for diabetes awareness.

Cyrus brushed off recent speculation about Jonas being the topic of “7 Things,” telling MTV, “Most of my songs are for the girls who hate their current or ex-boyfriends.”

Maybe. But we think Selena Gomez -– rumored to be dating Nick Jonas now — should pay closer attention to the song lyrics to see if the shoe — and the necklace — fits.

“THE JONAS BROTHERS’ MOTHER’S REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AMAZES VMA HOST RUSSELL BRAND” – MTV Buzzworthy – Read More

The Jonas Brothers — who are committed to just saying no to sex and drugs — and VMA host Russell Brand, who’s a former drug and sex addict, have more in common than you’d think!

For starters, they all have backgrounds in theater and comedy — Russell started acting as a kid, Nick did Broadway, and Joe originally wanted to be a comedian — they all favor skinny jeans, they’ll all be at the 2008 VMAs on Sunday, September 7th, and they all share great respect for Nick, Kevin, and Joe’s (and Frankie’s!) mom, Denise Jonas.

In a recent interview with MTV UK, Russell Brand commended the Jonas Brothers by way of Denise, commenting, “How the Jonas Mother was able to keep an amp in her uterus is one of the greatest mysteries, because them boys were born already possessing an incredible talent.”

Read the rest of Russell’s MTV UK interview and see what he has to say about VMA VIPs like The Hills girls, Miley Cyrus, and Lindsay Lohan, watch Denise Jonas wake her boys up in the morning, and get more Russell Brand.

…More Paul. ”Les Paul’s contribution to the history of rock ‘n’ roll is beyond compare,” Rock Hall President Terry Stewart said. ”His history as a musician is unparalleled. He has played with everyone from the Andrews Sisters to Eric Clapton and Eddie Van Halen. Those who have witnessed him performing live can testify to his melodic genius and soulful phrasing. His innovations — the solid-body electric guitar, sound-on-sound recording and close miking — helped usher in a new era in recording. The museum’s exhibit, showcasing his innovative instrument design and masterful performance technique, is a cornerstone of our permanent collection.”

His legacy covers generations. When the Jonas Brothers visited the rock hall during a touring stop in Northeast Ohio last month, the Beacon Journal’s Malcolm X Abram noted that they ”marveled at the mechanical mind of . . . Les Paul.”

”Not only was he a great guitar player, but he was a genius,” Joe Jonas said.

Fans go wild for Jonas Brothers
By Robin Riglin – For the CDT
Tuesday may have been the first day of school for most Centre County students, but a party atmosphere at the Bryce Jordan Center helped to shake off the back-to-school blues as the Jonas Brothers rolled into town for a stop on their “Burning Up” tour.

The festivities began in the parking lot, where adoring fans lined up to sign the band’s tour bus, and continued inside the arena, where text messages from adoring fans of the teenage boy band were displayed on video screens.

Well before the first opening act took the stage, the screams from the crowd of mostly tween and teenage girls started and didn’t let up until the brothers’ final curtain call. Aussie band the Veronicas, fronted by two identical twin female lead singers, Jess and Lisa Origliasso, performed a short but energetic set of about a half dozen punk-lite pop songs reminiscent of Avril Lavigne…

Winners Get To Meet Teen Sensations

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Six people are living in moving boxes in an attempt to win tickets to Friday’s sold-out Jonas Brothers concert in Fort Lauderdale.
The moving boxes are set up at Beach Place in Fort Lauderdale.
The contestants must stay in the boxes and can only leave them for five minutes every six hours in order to go to the bathroom.

The winner will receive a pair of front-row tickets and a meet-and-greet with the band.
If more than one person is living in the boxes by Friday morning, a raffle will decide the winner.

“Parents: Embarrass yourselves for Jonas Brothers tix…” – Orlando Sentinel – Read More

No, that’s not a recommendation, but I know that otherwise rational adults are willing to do stupid, er, unusual things for the sake of their kids when it comes to the Jonas Brothers.

XL 106.7 is offering parents a chance to win front-row tickets for the Thursday, Sept. 4, Jonas Brothers show at Ford Amphitheatre for merely coming to the radio station at 7 a.m. on Thursday morning, standing in the lobby dressed as a Jonas Brother and singing Jonas Brothers songs. Check your self-respect at the door.

I am trying to convince my co-worker Joe to do this, but it’s not going that well. I just want him to remember that wise old saying: Never does a man stand so tall as when he stoops to acting like a dope to win something for his kids…

“Brothers Rock the BJC” – Collegian – Read More

Some bands would kill to have fans who can sing along with all of their songs. The Jonas Brothers don’t have that problem.
In fact, last night at the Bryce Jordan Center, it would have been hard to find someone who didn’t know the words.
The Jonas Brothers, along with opening acts the Veronicas and Demi Lovato, could do no wrong in front of the crowd of adoring fans that packed the BJC for the University Park leg of the Burning Up Tour.
The Veronicas played a short set, followed by Lovato, a few of whose songs were surprisingly dark considering the bubblegum pop that dominated the rest of the night. When she asked the crowd, “How many of you out there have had your hearts broken?” she was met with thousands of preteen screams despite the unlikelihood of that possibility. Lovato came back onstage later in the show to perform with The Jonas Brothers, her co-stars from the Disney movie Camp Rock.
When the Brothers finally began their set, the entire arena was filled with piercing shrieks. The three rose up out of the stage on a moving platform that then lifted them high into the air before setting them down again. The terraced stage was a spectacle to behold, complete with an entire string section, massive LED screens and walls of fire…

“Michael Phelps joins the Jonas Brothers (SATIRE)” – Dateline Hollywood – Read More

Michael Phelps joins the Jonas Brothers
Searching for a way to continue keep his celebrity from waning now that the Olympics Games have ended, Michael Phelps on Tuesday announced that he is joining the Jonas Brothers.

Phelps, who will be known as as Mike Jonas, is now the oldest Jonas. Insiders say that could help Kevin Jonas, who at 20 was previously the oldest, regain more boyish appeal with the groups’ younger fans, while also keeping Phelps in the spotlight.

“Let’s be honest, nobody really gives a sh*t about swimming except for two weeks every four years,” said Joe Simpson, who recently become Phelps’ manager. “Now that he’s a Jonas Brother, Americans will actually know who Mike is and pay attention to him for the next three years and 50 weeks.”

Mike Jonas is expected to become the roguish prankster of the group, with a humorous but slightly more mature sensibility that Walt Disney Company executives hope could broaden the brothers’ appeal from girls aged 8-12 to girls aged 8-15. It is still being determined what instrument he will pretend to play and who will do voice overs when he sings.

Preteen pop phenomenons get ‘second bash at success’
Heath McCoy, Canwest News Service
Published: Wednesday, September 03, 2008
Just over a year ago, being part of a boy band was considered to be the dorkiest gig in pop.
Unless your name was Justin Timberlake, the mid-2000s was a cruel time for those who rode the boy-band boom of the late ’90s.
The Backstreet Boys and Hanson struggled to launch comebacks and found it hard to buck the lame-o stigma of having been a part of the dreaded preteen pop trend.
Jordan Knight, a former member of New Kids On The Block — whose late ’80s breakthrough set the template for the modern boy band — was a cast member on the humiliating reality series The Surreal Life, featuring washed-up celebs.
Members of *NSYNC wanted to reunite in 2006, but their dream was nixed by bandmate Timberlake who had made the rare transition to a successful solo career. When MTV asked him why he didn’t want to take part in a reunion, Timberlake’s dismissive reply was telling. “What we did doesn’t work now,” he said.
Even the latest bubble gum sensation The Jonas Brothers felt the hard times. In early 2007 they lost their deal with Columbia Records after their debut disc failed to sell 100,000 units.
But today those Disney darlings are on top of the pop world. Their latest disc A Little Bit Longer debuted at No. 1 on the charts and it’s expected to be one of the year’s top-selling CDs…

“Jonas Brothers: Boxers or Briefs?” – OK! Magazine – Read More

September 03, 2008
It’s the age-old conundrum: boxers or briefs.

But for the Jonas Brothers, only American Eagle boxer briefs will do!

On August 26, the Jonai treated their dad, Kevin, pal Demi Lovato and band members to a $5,000 shopping spree at A.E. before their concert in Pittsburgh.

The Joe, Kevin and Nick picked up boxer briefs and dorm tees, an insider tells OK!. Apparently when it comes to fashion, they never go thong!

It’s no wonder the boys were feeling generous. As their friends filled their shopping baskets, the brothers were well and truly owning the album charts, with not one but two titles in the Billboard Top 10.

A Little Bit Longer was number one for the second week running, while the soundtrack to their Disney flick Camp Rock was at number 8 — only one place lower than the previous week.

And, anyway, what’s a little $5000 shopping spree when you’ve just dropped a massive $2,895,000 on a new mansion in Texas?

Maybe while they’re in the mood for shopping the guys should pick out three XXXXL wallets as well.
