Nick Jonas goes solo

Little Jonas goes it alone!

Nick Jonas has been working on his debut solo album - 'Nick Jonas and The Administration' - for the past six months and it will be released next year. His mother Denise confirmed: "Nick is working on a solo act - it's called 'Nick Jonas and The Administration'. Shhh! He's at the photo shoot for the album cover right now." However, The Jonas Brothers insist they are not splitting and have plans to make more music together. They wrote on their blog: "The Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up! We are ALL excited about this project AND what we are doing TOGETHER! We plan to make music together for as long as we can." The trio are also planning a world tour for next year and industry insiders believe Nick branching out will benefit their future. One said: "This project would only expand the Jonas brand. The music is amazing and really shows off Nick's vocal range." Phew! We were worried for a moment that Jo Bro were no more! What do you think about Nick going solo?

Pink's kangaroo nightmares

Pink has another encounter with a hopping animal!

Superstar singer Pink has gone hopping mad in her dreams... She's been having nightmares about kangaroos! The 'So What' singer dreamt a pair of the bouncing Aussie animals destroyed the home she shares with her husband. She said: "I dreamt the other night that I smuggled two kangaroos home from Australia and they trashed my house and my dog Bailey was terrified. Bad idea!" Although kangaroos are tormenting Pink in her dreams, another hopping animal attacked her in real life. The singer wasn't happy when a frog jumped onto her face while she was on a recent bike trip in Australia. We wouldn't blame Pink for thinking Aussie animals are kanga-rude!

Totally Jessie goes to Paris!

Dear Diary, Bonjour! You will not believe where I have been this past week. Paris!!! Remember how I said I overheard Cass's mum telling my mum she was going on a holiday with the family? Well I missed the part where she asked my mum if I was allowed to join them. My mum was a bit unsure at first but she trusts Cass's mum because they've been friends for ages now. I wish I had more time to prepare myself but I only found out a few days before leaving. I needed help packing but I didn't want mum to do it because she always packs ugly clothes that I never wear. Cotton helped me instead. Half the clothes I was looking for he was sitting on. Mum and dad took me to tge airport to meet Cass. Mum was crying the whole way. It was so embarrassing because when we met up with the others, mum had red eyes. I've never been overseas without my parents before, but I wasn't nervous. The flight was so boring after i watched all the movies available. Cass fell asleep so I had no-one to talk to! I was really close to waking up Cass i was that bored. Luckily mum made me take a book. She kept saying how it would come in handy if i got bored. Our hotel in Paris was absolutely beautiful! The foyer had marble floors and massive lounges that looked like they belonged in a Queen's castle. I put my feet up on the lounge for one second and the concierge gave me a dirty look. Whoops! Our first stop was the Eiffel Tower. It looks just like all the pictures I've seen, but better! To get to the top we had to stand in a line for ages but it was totally worth it. It was so pretty. Then we went to a cafe to fill our tummies. Cass's dad would not stop whining about how hungry he was. He was acting like a big kid. When we got the menus we couldn't read anything so the waiter made some suggestions. "Try the Escargot, the tourists love it!" He rambled off all this other stuff but I couldn't understand him even when he spoke in English because his accent was so strong. I told Cass's mum to order me anything and Cass copied. When we got our food, I had no idea what I was looking at, but it looked disgusting. Cass's mum realised she must've ordered frogs' legs and snails which are famous in France. We went to the Louvre museum and I was pumped to see the Mona Lisa because I'd heard so much about it. Turns out it's not as big as I had imagined. Cass's parents wanted to keep exploring the museum but Cass and I were getting sick of it. We couldn't have seen the whole place anyway because it's so big it would take days to look at everything. We also went to Notre Dame and it made me feel like I was in that movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. We even visited the Arc de Triomphe but Cass and I didn't see what all the fuss was about. It's just a big arc, but it honours those who fought for France. I was having such a great time that I kind of forgot about Catherine who was back at home. I bought a postcard to send back to her. I told her all about the sights we'd seen and said I wished she could have come too. Jess xxx

Jo Bro wedding a family affair!

Brotherly love... Nick and Joe will be by Kev's side!

Kevin Jonas has asked brothers Joe and Nick to be his best men. The Jonas Brothers singer – who got engaged to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa in July – couldn’t choose between his siblings so decided to have them both by his side on his big day. Danielle’s two sisters will both be maids of honour. When Kevin spoke about the proposal, he said: "She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row." Danielle, who met Kevin in May 2007, added: "It still feels like a dream." The 21-year-old Jo Bro admitted he was nervous about popping the question. He said: "It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world." Joe and Nick spoke of their joy at the engagement, saying on their Twitter page: "Congrats big brother... Dani welcome to the family, we can't wait to have you join us on the road!" Aww, what a sweet couple they will make. Congrats Kevin and Danielle!!

Mia's profile!

Chillin' in the sunshine :)

About me: I'm in year seven at school, but more importantly, I'm the lead singer of my band, Red Jelly. My friends Evan and Lachlan play guitar and drums and the band is our life! I live in New Zealand, but my family goes on an annual holiday to Fiji. This year I met Jessie and we became such great friends - I know we'll keep in touch!!! Who I'd like to meet: I'd love to meet the other members of The Diva Effect in person... sometimes Jessie and I chat online but it's not the same! Interests: Singing is something that has been built into me since birth... When I'm not singing I'm always humming along to a tune in my head. I also love travel and meeting new people. Books: The Harry Potter series - oldies but goodies! Films: Anything I can get my sing along to! High School Musical and Hairspray are my faves. Music: Delta Goodrem and Kelly Clarkson are amazing singers, but Taylor Swift is my IDOL! She just won an award for her singing - I would luv to meet her someday (I think we'd have sooooo much in common!) For more visit total girls special site

Song lyrics!

Sweet About Me

Ooh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Oh easily the climax of a perfect life.
Ooh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Oh easily, my smiles worth a hundred lies.
If there's lessons to be learned, I'd rather get my jamming words in first oh
Tell ya something that I've found, that the worlds a better place when it's upside down boy.
If there's lessons to be learned, I'd rather get my jamming words in first oh
When your playing with desire, don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy.

[CHORUS]

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me yeah
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, yeah

Blue, blue, blue waves they crash
As time goes by, so hard to catch
And too, too smooth, ain't all that
Why don't you ride my side of the tracks
If there's lessons to be learned, I'd rather get my jamming words in first oh
Tell ya something that I've found, that the worlds a better place when it's upside down boy.
If there's lessons to be learned, I'd rather get my jamming words in first oh
When your playing with desire, don't come running to my place when it burns like fire, boy.

[CHORUS]

Fade Out
