Jonas Brothers: “It’s over for now”
Since I’ve posted about the Jonas Brothers recently (especially Nick Jonas and his ever-fab biceps), I thought I’d share this from PEOPLE, who seem to have the inside scoop on the recent cancellation of the Jo-Bro tour:
Nearly three weeks after the Jonas Brothers announced they were canceling their tour due to a “deep rift within the band,” the brothers tell PEOPLE that they’ve decided to call it quits.
“It’s over for now,” Kevin Jonas says.
“It’s really hard to say ‘forever,’ ” says Nick. “We’re closing a chapter, for sure.”
“It was a unanimous decision,” says Joe.
Although drug abuse rumors abounded, PEOPLE quotes Nick Jonas as saying he “felt trapped” and had to tell his brother how he felt, which led to the break up of the band.
Jonas Brothers cancel 19 city tour over argument
Not sure what happened, but it looks like a disagreement over this past weekend resulted in the Jonas Brothers tour (slated to start this coming Friday) has been cancelled.
From the Today Show:
Spokesman Jesse Derris confirmed a report by People magazine that there was a “deep rift” in the group, and a “big disagreement over their music direction.”
According to the magazine, a weekend argument among brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas resulted in the tour’s cancellation.
The tour was scheduled to begin Friday. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Jonas Brothers website was still advertising the 19 concerts and still allowed visitors to click through to buy tickets.
Ticket holders should instead seek a refund wherever they bought their tickets, Derris told TODAY.
The Jonas Brothers won the breakthrough artist honor at the 2008 American Music Awards. In 2008 and 2009, they starred in their own Disney Channel original series.
The Jonas Brothers talk gay rumors and twerking in OUT Magazine

Out Magazine has released pics and a “behind the scenes” video from the recent photo shoot with the Jonas Brothers.
In the accompanying Q&A the brothers address taking time off, gay rumors and how much “twerking” is enough…
• On taking time off to focus on solo projects:
Kevin: For seven years, it was nonstop. We had moments where we got frustrated with one another and we really just needed time alone. You can imagine what it’s like for a band to be together all the time, but imagine if they’re family, too. Taking that break was so nice because we worked our asses off, but we did things for ourselves. Then, we came back at the right time to do this all over again.
• Addressing the constant rumors of “boy banders” being gay:
Joe: We have a lot of gay friends and gay fans. It’s a boy band stereotype; people assume, but we don’t take offense.
Nick: Prior to us being a band, I was a super theater geek. I loved theater and I still do, and I care about fashion, and I care about a lot of things that I feel like stereotypes are attached to.
Joe: [Being in Out] is a moment for us for sure. We keep saying, “Well, it’s about time.”
• On whether twerking has reached a saturation point:
Joe: I’m great [with twerking]. I’m with it.
Nick: I’m against it. I’ve just reached my limit. It’s just done. It’s too much.
Joe: Bring it on. I’m a fan. I just think it’s appropriate for the right people. Not everyone can twerk.
Nick: Anybody that’s on Diplo’s page — have you seen his Instagram? It’s impressive.
Kevin: I’m straight down the middle. The right amount at the right time.
Nick Jonas photo shoot for Men’s Fitness
Ever since the “selfie” seen round the world, Nick Jonas’ body and especially his biceps have become a pop culture phenom.
Queerty has a cute “Year in the life of Nick Jonas’ Biceps” – it’s pretty funny and lots of pics of Nick’s biceps as they’ve become as famous as he is.
Below is a video interview from Nick’s recent photo shoot for Men’s Fitness.

Nick Jonas: Instagram shirtless pic was about fitness as diabetic
Nick Jonas talks to the Ryan Seacrest Show about the viral shirtless Instagram selfie that lit up the web this week:
“There’s a lot of people running around without their shirts on these days, so I just didn’t want to add to the noise, but I felt like as a diabetic … it’s twice as hard for us diabetics to stay in shape.
“I’ve met a lot of diabetics recently who have come to me and said, ‘Thank you for being so vocal about fitness and health’ because it’s helping them. I just wanted to give some inspiration to those people … It’s been a pretty hilarious reaction.”
Jonas tagged the Instagram pic with this: “I never do this but… Healthy living and fitness update. Post workout picture. #diabeticinshape #2.0″
