Nick Jonas’ Beach Ballad!

Nick Jonas strums on his guitar as he takes a break on the set of JONAS in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (May 5).

The 17-year-old musician/actor is teaming back up with Bayer with the “Give Back. Simply Win.” Contest.

You could win a chance to meet Nick and have $5,000 donated to the eligible charity of your choice! Just answer three simple essay questions about how you are making a difference in your community.

For more details, log onto NicksSimpleWins.com.

Are you ready to see the Jonas Brothers run around Los Angeles?

It was just announced that the second season, now titled JONAS L.A., will premiere on Sunday, June 20th @ 8:30PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.

The second season of fun delves into individual storylines as Kevin, Joe and Nick – and their security chief, Big Man – are fresh off their world concert tour and ready for a summer vacation in a rental house high atop the Hollywood Hills. As they begin their left coast adventure, two familiar faces, Stella and Macy (Chelsea Staub, Nicole Anderson), join them and wind up sharing a nearby guesthouse with Stella’s aunt Lisa (Beth Crosby). Now, the five friends take off on a summer of fun, especially after they meet their gregarious neighbor, DZ (Adam Hicks).

Despite months of anticipation, Joe and Stella encounter detours on the road to “Joella,” mainly since he’s met free-spirited actress Vanessa Page (Abby Pivaronas), who’s helping him pursue his acting ambition. After auditioning in a room filled with “Joes,” he lands a role in Vanessa’s new movie, and their mercurial working relationship quickly spurs rumors of “Jonessa.”

While on the movie set, Kevin gets his long sought chance to learn film directing, and manages to steer around the abrasive manner of his mentor, famed director Mona Klein (Debi Mazar). Meanwhile, Nick writes new songs for the band and is pleasantly surprised by his growing friendship with Macy, which makes him want to prove he’s more than just a world famous rock star.

ARE YOU READY for the new season?

Check out the new promo poster for the upcoming Jonas Brothers/Demi Lovato/Camp Rock 2 Tour!

Nick, Kevin and Joe also made a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

The guys surprised a choir of girls with tickets to one of their upcoming shows — How cool! Check out the full segment below!

Their upcoming tour with Demi kicks off on July 27th — are you ready to get your tickets?

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.

Don’t throw out that empty laundry bottle! There’s always something you can make from recycled items and this pretty bouquet holder is no exception. It’s the perfect present for Mother’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, or Earth Day.!

What you’ll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut the top off of the laundry bottle keeping the pour spout in tact. Set the rest of the bottle aside for another project.
2. Turn laundry spout over so that the pour spout is pointing toward the floor. Remove the lid and set aside for another project.
3. Cut a hole in the center of the pink felt (about the size of a quarter) and lay it over the top of the spout, spout still pointing toward the floor. Line up the hole in the felt with the spout opening.
4. Glue the felt into the plastic top, overlap will hang over the edge. You should be able to hold the spout (pointing downward) in your hand like a bride’s bouquet. Glue some of the overlapping felt to the sides of the plastic so that it stays in place.
5. Trim around the square edges of the felt to make them rounder.
6. Tie ribbon into a bow and glue to the front of the bouquet holder and let dry.
7. Wrap your flower stems with a piece of cream felt and insert it into the hole of the bouquet holder.

Tips:

• Felt is a fabulous medium for hundreds of different craft projects. Be sure to stock up on different colors when visiting your local craft store.
• White school glue can be substituted for white craft glue. However school glue does not dry at the same rate so keep an eye on your project.
• This craft makes a pretty bouquet holder for Mom or Grandma and can also be used for playing dress up!
