Nick Jonas & Nicole Anderson – Holding Hand On Set!

While Joe Jonas gets dramatic on set, brother Nick was seen stealing a moment with on-screen love interest Nicole Anderson on the set of JONAS on Wednesday afternoon (April 21) in Long Beach, Calif.

JJJ can confirm that Nick and Nicole have a little romance in the new season of JONAS and that Nick (the character) has written a song for Macy (Nicole). We can’t wait to see the on-screen relationship develop.

Earlier last week, the trio and Demi Lovato headed out to dinner at Farfalla Restaurant.

Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas are anxious for a game of golf in this new shot from their adventures in Europe from Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream 2.

The musical trio caught up with MTV recently and dished on their upcoming DCOM, Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam.

They shared about the feel and leaked pictures, “[We shot] at so many different locations this time. The story line is really great. They built a camp for the movie and they blocked off a whole mile radius so that people couldn’t really find out what the movie was about. It was a really fun experience, and everyone really kept it under wraps. The director [Paul Hoen] was the one who kind of leaked pictures on his Facebook … of all the people!”

Joe also dished on being a part of the new documentary film, OCEANS, saying, “I didn’t expect that at all when the charity asked us. And Demi [Lovato] and I were like, ‘Definitely.’ Then to hear it was a part of the movie, it was an even greater thing for us. It’s so cool.”

Remember, the FIRST music video from Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam, “Can’t Back Down,” premieres THIS Sunday, April 25th.

Demi Lovato gets comfy as she chats it up with Radio Disney host Ernie D during her takeover at the studios in Burbank, Calif., earlier this week.

The 17-year-old actress/singer dished about Camp Rock 2, funny stuff behind-the-scenes and her favorite Sonny skit of the moment. Check it:

On her favorite song from Camp Rock 2 The Final Jam: “‘I Wouldn’t Change a Thing’ (the duet with boyfriend Joe Jonas). It’s a song that’s close to my heart. It’s probably one of my favorite parts of the movie.”

On her favorite Sonny With a Chance skit: “‘The Real Princesses of New Jersey,’ I get to put on a blonde wig and I don’t look like myself! I like putting on all the crazy makeup.”

On the funniest thing that happened behind-the-scenes of Camp Rock 2: One night in particular when we were all sitting around a campfire, Nick, Kevin and Joe were being so hilarious. I was having a hard time trying not to laugh. When I watched the scene back, I was totally laughing in the scene! Sometimes those boys will make you laugh until you cry. They’re the funniest people ever.”

Be sure to head on over to RadioDisney.com to learn about how you can get Demi to perform a concert at your school and tune into Radio Disney to listen to Demi’s takeover @ 6PM ET/3PM PT.

Also pictured below is Radio Disney listener Alana Collins won a contest to meet Demi and present $5,000 to an organization important to Demi (Pacer Center, Inc.).

Earth Day’s History:

Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment.

Below is a brief account of Earth Day history. You can read this story out in front of the class or for family on the holiday.

In the Beginning…
In 1963, former Senator Gaylord Nelson began to worry about our planet. (A senator is a person that the people of the United States have chosen to help make the laws.) Senator Nelson knew that our world was getting dirty and that many of our plants and animals were dying.

He wondered why more people weren’t trying to solve these problems. He talked to other lawmakers and to the President. They decided that the President would go around the country and tell people about these concerns. He did, but still not enough people were working on the problem.

The Idea
Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had another idea. He decided to have a special day to teach everyone about the things that needed changing in our environment. He wrote letters to all of the colleges and put a special article in Scholastic Magazine to tell them about the special day he had planned. (Most of the schools got this magazine and he knew that kids would help him.)

The Holiday
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. People all over the country made promises to help the environment. Everyone got involved and since then, Earth Day has spread all over the planet. People all over the world know that there are problems we need to work on and this is our special day to look at the planet and see what needs changing. Isn’t it great?

One person had an idea and kept working until everyone began working together to solve it. See what happens when people care about our world?

Earth Day’s Facts:

• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to watch a TV for three hours – it’s equivalent to half a gallon of gasoline.
• Earth Day is a relatively new holiday and was first celebrated on April 22 in 1970. More than 20 million Americans participated in this first Earth Day celebration
• Earth Day was founded by a senator of Wisconsin and the day is credited for creating the environmentalism movement.
• April 22 is the first official day of Spring in the Northern hemisphere and of Fall in the Southern hemisphere and was chosen to be Earth Day for this reason.



• Never underestimate the importance of recycling: if every newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year. Unfortunately only 27% of all American newspapers are recycled.
• More than 20,000,000 Hershey’s Kisses are wrapped each day, using 133 square miles of tinfoil. All that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it.
• Only 11% of the earth’s surface is used to grow food.
• The world’s first national park was started in 1872 at Yellowstone National Park in the US.



• The first major international conference on environmental issues was held in Sweden in 1972 and was sponsored by the United Nations.
• The first wildlife refuge was formed on Pelican Island Florida in 1903.
• The patron Saint of ecologists is St. Francis and the first proclamation of Earth Day was made by the mayor of San Francisco in 1970.
• A highlight of the annual Earth Day ceremony at the United Nations is the ringing of the Peace Bell that was given to the UN by Japan. It is made from coins given by school children to further peace on our planet.

Happy Earth Day!

Denise Jonas – Only The Mom Can Be The Mom!

Denise Jonas puts on a happy smile as she surrounds herself with her three eldest sons, Kevin, Joe and Nick on the May 2010 cover of Guideposts magazine.

Check out some of Denise’s tips for moms everywhere:

On listening to the music: “Nick was the most precocious musically. At age three, he wandered around the house, asking, ‘Do you hear that? Do you hear the music?’ Then he’d burst out with some song.”

On staying connected with her four boys: “Don’t stop sending messages. Kids need to know you love them. I even buy cards for the boys when they’re on the road. Two weeks ago I came home to a bouquet of flowers and a card from Joe. All he wanted to say was: ‘I love you, Mom.’ It made my day. In our house you can never say ‘I love you’ too much.”

On her favorite song: “One of my favorites of the boys’ songs is called ‘Pushing Me Away.’ Every time they do it in concert, I get choked up because it speaks to one of my weaknesses as a mom. I’m passionate and strong-willed—my Italian blood again. I want to be front and center in my kids’ lives. I have opinions about everything.”

On being the mom: “You’re not the best friend. You’re the mom. Set limits and an example. Anyone can be a friend. Only the mom can be the mom. Sometimes that’s difficult.”
