Wyclef Jean’s bid for Haiti’s presidency officially ended as Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council disqualified the musician from running in this year’s election.

The 40-year-old former Fugees frontman officially announced that he was running for the position in early August to help the earthquake ravaged country.

“It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the board of elections in Haiti has disqualified me from my run for the presidency of the country,” Wyclef said in a statement. “Though I disagree with the ruling, I respectfully accept the committee’s final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same.”

Although the council hasn’t disclosed the reasons for the disqualification, it is speculated that it may be related to the requirement that a candidate must live in Haiti for the past 5 years.

Wyclef Jean – Running For President Of Haiti!

Wyclef Jean has announced his intentions to run for the Haitian presidency.

The 37-year-old musician and social activist confirmed the news to Time, saying, “If not for the earthquake, I probably would have waited another 10 years before doing this….If I can’t take five years out to serve my country as President, then everything I’ve been singing about, like equal rights, doesn’t mean anything.”

“I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity,” Wyclef concluded, “one that thinks not just about charity but policy.”

Wyclef was born in Haiti and left with his family at the age of 9 to go to New York City.

Demi Lovato is finally opening up a bit on reconnecting with Joe Jonas.

The 17-year-old singer shared about her relationship with her now ex-boyfriend. She shared, “We thought about it when we first started dating, you know, to think about the consequences or what would happen if we weren’t dating when it came to tour. It’s definitely something we thought about before and we’re just dealing with now. It’s not bad, you know. We had a really great friendship before and now we just have to keep it going.”

And what about Demi’s upcoming album? “The new album so far it’s a little more pop, it’s more R&B. It’s a little more soulful. It has a different sound to it so I’m really excited to see how it turns out. I feel like I’m going to be doing that too so I might be incorporating rock and R&B,” she revealed.

ARE YOU EXCITED for Demi’s new music?

Joe & Nick Jonas – Tour Plans Revealed!

Nick Jonas gives a big thumbs up as he leaves the Queen’s Theatre in London after another performance of Les Miserables on Tuesday night (July 13).

Big brother Joe was spotted out in Los Angeles picking up some munchies from M Cafe this afternoon as well.

JJJ recently caught up with the JoBros and chatted about their Camp Rock 2 themed summer tour. Kevin told us, “We had a meeting the other day about our stage and so what we’re telling people right now is we actually just approved all of, like Joe said, our blueprints (laughs). We came up with an idea and we really felt we hadn’t used video to it’s full potential yet during a live concert.”

He continued, “So we’re really taking that to the next step because we are going to have Jonas Brothers, have Demi, we have other Camp Rock friends as well on the tour. We have a lot of people there and use of production just by people and so for us, we would build, I’m talking 20 feet high video walls. Very, very large scale things. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

Monique Coleman shows off her new friends in this new picture from her recent trip to Haiti.

The emerging entrepreneur and philanthropist wrote, “I’m still processing everything I experienced in Haiti….it was inspiring and upsetting-tragic and beautiful. I spent most of my time in Jackmel and LaSource which was a stark contrast from the overpopulated and devastating Port au Prince. It was gorgeous and an incredible reminder of what really matters. Everyone was really hospitable and the food was all natural.”

Monique continued, “My friend Mickelson Civil has a water company called VIE water. Generosity water, Vie Water, and Operation Blessing were working together to bring clean drinking water to a village. I also spent some time at an orphanage. I definitely plan to visit again. The footage I captured will be a part of an episode of GimmeMo.”

Gimme’Mo will premiere THIS FALL!

Chelsea Staub – The Truth About Harmonies For Haiti South!

Chelsea Staub shows off a chic David Lerner lace tank dress as she stops by the The Shop PR showroom in Los Angeles earlier last month.

The 21-year-old JONAS L.A. actress threw together a cute outfit with a Muubaa jacket and One of a Kind “Tree of Life” bracelet.

JJJ recently caught up with Chelsea to chat about a new Harmonies for Haiti show we heard about called Harmonies For Haiti South. Check out what she had to say about it:

“That is actually…she’s [the girl who put it together, Laura] is using the same logo that I designed. She contacted Jake [Johnson] first and asked if he would come and do a show in Shreveport. Then she asked if I would make an appearance and he said that he’d mention it to me. It was kind of switched around because it was our thing with all the legal stuff. My mom called me and said, ‘Have you lost your mind? You’re putting another event in Louisiana?’”

Chelsea continued, “I’m really happy she’s putting it on and it inspired someone else to take the reigns. I think it’s going to be under a different name. But it’s not my event.”

Everyone makes mistakes!

This is a pretty funny video that shows Vanessa laughing at herself behind the scenes while filming a commercial! Wow, do these actresses have to do a lot of takes!

Vanessa looks gorgeous in the video, bloopers and all. And what was that? Que?  Yep, she also speaks a bit of Spanish in this video!

Take a look at Vanessa at work!

Lyrics:

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice were making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Alright let me hear ya

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
Theres a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
