The Jonas Brothers: ‘Showbiz Tonight’ host A.J. Hammer talked with Star magazine’s Ben Widdicombe and Rachel Zalis of Life & Style magazine about The Jonas Brothers being mocked by MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand for their purity rings, as well as Jessica Simpson’s do-over on live TV during her performance on ‘Good Morning America’. “Well, I hate to say it, A.J., but I’m with Russell Brand before he apologized,” Widdicombe remarked. “I mean, The Jonas Brothers are sweet kids and all.

Jonas Brothers: 'We'll Give Russell Brand a Hug When we See Him'
The Jonas Brothers are in no hurry to confront British comedian Russell Brand after he lampooned the band's lifestyle choices at the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday, September 7.

Pop music: Wholesome screams of the Jonas fans
When a thousand teenage girls went wild at the Royal Festival Hall in London last week for The Jonas Brothers, the obvious question was what fantasies were their yells meant to signify? The sons of an evangelical preacher, these three teenage boys do not drink, smoke or take drugs. Each wears a silver ring on his left hand symbolising the desire – if that's not the wrong word – to stay a virgin. Russell Brand made a big mistake when hosting the MTV music a

Paul Lieberstein’s ‘Office‘ Character Inspired by Some Loser He Knows
Photo: Getty Images"What brings him back is failure to escape. There was a friend of mine, who is actually one of the writers here, who decided to collect enough money to live poor in Hawaii. He was gonna just do it and surf, because he loved to surf, and he had made a big deal out of it — he had a little going away party and he was back in two weeks. He was lonely, nobody talked to him, he was robbed on the beach and that was it. So, that was our model for Toby's success." —Paul Lieberstei

Britney Spears and Russell Brand Go On First Date Sans 'Third Wheel' Elephant [Eat Your Heart Out, Jordin Sparks]
After a long history of exclusively dating poseurs and paparazzi, comeback-adjacent singer Britney Spears may be taking on her biggest romantic challenge yet: Russell Brand.

Random Notes: Britney, The Jonas Brothers and the Week in Rock
The Video Music Awards always bring out the biggest stars and music and usually brings together some odd pairings. Case in point: Disney’s past and present collided when Britney Spears met The Jonas Brothers.

SET LIST: The Jonas Brothers
Hammersmith Apollo

the Jonas Brothers invade London
I went to see The Jonas Brothers at the Hammersmith Apollo theatre last night. I actually quite enjoyed it (although, aged 23, I felt I couldn't portray my enjoyment of The Jonas Brothers and their music in any way shape or form for fear of it being perceived as Peado Bear-esque behaviour). I cant actually tell you if they sounded ok or played well as I was pretty much surrounding by screeching 13 year olds. That is, apart from two 20 year olds drinking and screaming for Joe. Anyway. I knew the lyrics to 2
