Joe Jonas Has A Helping Hand!

Joe Jonas offers from green to an out-of-luck man as he leaves his local Starbucks on Wednesday afternoon (April 28).

The 20-year-old musician, who ran into some fans on his way out, dished to JJJ at Disney’s Friends for Change shoot about the upcoming season of JONAS.

Joe shared, “We have amazing guest stars this season. There’s David Henrie, Emma Roberts, Debi Mazar…it’s been incredible. I would love to see Daniel Craig on the show (laughs).”

Kevin Jonas raises his arms in victory as his family goes wild in the stands on this mini-preview of his appearance on NBC’s Minute To Win It.

The 22-year-old actor/musician, who competed for Change for the Children Foundation, dished to the L.A. Times about his appearance: “I worked very hard on the game, and it was a very good time. I would love to do it again some time. I practiced day and night, for sure, for practically two weeks.”

Kevin’s appearance will be aired on Sunday, May 23rd @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC.

Coming in at number nine on the long list of TIME’s Most Influential People, Taylor Swift takes a rest backstage in this new shot from her tour.

Stevie Nicks, who teamed up with Taylor, 20, for the 2010 Grammys, says of her duet partner, “Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her…I still walk around singing her song ‘Today was a Fairytale.’ All of us girls want that boy to pick us up and think that we look beautiful even though we’re in jeans and clogs. We want it at 14, and we want it at 60.”

She continued, “Taylor sings, she writes, she performs, she plays great guitar. She reminds me of myself in her determination and her ability to be extremely childlike. It’s an innocence that’s so special and so rare. This little girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing.”

WHO INFLUENCES YOU the most?

We’ve found the future winner of Project Runway. When it came time to decide what to wear to prom, Elizabeth Rasmuson ditched any thoughts of Vera Wang for Wrigley. That’s right, the gum – Wrigley’s 5 gum to be exact..

“I heard about someone [who] made a dress out of duct-tape or something one time, so I just was like, ‘What’s something cool?’ and I always liked the colors of the 5 gum,” Elizabeth says.

To make the dress, she bought tons of gum, passed it out to friends, and collected the wrappers back. She stopped counting after 200, but had enough to make a matching vest for her boyfriend, too.
The Iowa teen’s mom fully supports her daughter’s creativity. “She’s a junior in high school and in today’s world a lot of the girls are so worried about fitting in and being like the next girl. I just think it’s really, really cool and really awesome that’s she willing to put herself [out there] – especially with an event as special and one time as prom.”

Bouquet Of Photo Flowers!

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Looking for a bouquet of flowers that will never wilt or die? Make this precious keepsake for Mom or Grandma this Mother’s Day and they will cherish it always.

What you’ll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut photos into circles to be used as the center of the flower.
2. Cut simple flower shapes out of construction paper.
3. Glue photo circle to the center of the flower.
4. This step is optional: Glue construction paper flower to a piece of patterned paper. Cut around the flower giving your construction paper about a half-inch border of patterned paper.
5. Tape chenille stem to the back of your flower. Make sure the tape is secure by pressing onto the tape with your fingernail.
6. Trim ends of chenille to the length you desire, depending on what you are using as a vase. If making a handheld bouquet, don’t trim the chenille; simply tie a ribbon bow around them all.

Tips:

• Instead of patterned paper, color white paper with various colored markers or crayons and use that as your border.
• If you find it easier, instead of cutting around the border, trace it lightly first with a pencil, then cut.
• Even your younger siblings can make this craft, simply help them by cutting out photos and flower ahead of time and have them help with the gluing and taping.

You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors.
If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors.
Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Mom can relax this Mother’s Day once you hand her this book of coupons redeemable for chores and special favors!

Your mom will appreciate this gift and remember it forever, and she’ll love when you help her out with the dishes, or take out the garbage. Use our coupon designs or make your own by simply filling in the blank!

What you’ll need:

How to make it:

1. Fill in the blanks on any of the coupons that are not filled out.
2. Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut out the coupons. (Picture #1)
3. Use a pencil to sketch around a coupon onto the cardstock, about 1/2″ larger than the coupon. (Picture #2)
4. Cut the cardstock using the sketched line as a guide, cut two pieces for the cover and the back.
5. Use a hole punch or a sharpened pencil to poke holes in the coupons and the cardstock and assemble with the paper fasteners. Or you can simply staple the booklet together. (Picture #1, #2 & #3)
6. Decorate the front cover with markers, stickers, foam stickers, or whatever else you like. (Picture #3)

Tips:

• This craft is a favorite that Mom might want to save. Make two sets so she can keep one and use the other!
• Instead of cardstock, you can use construction paper.
• If using glitter glue to decorate the cover, be sure to allow for ample drying time.
• Foam stickers are available at your local craft supply store.
