This is pretty cool.

On Saturday, in between performances of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Nick Jonas took to the streets of New York City, plopped down on a stool and simply starting playing some acoustic hits for a handful of fans.

He started with his own single, "Lovebug," but then made the teenage girls around him truly scream out in fervor when he broke out a version of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." It's safe to say Nick had some help, as you can see here:

Whose version of this song do you like best?

Michael McKean is one unlucky man. But very blessed at the same time.

After being struck by a car and breaking his leg in New York City on Tuesday, the film and theater star took to Twitter to express his thanks and relief.

“Lucky man: best wife, great kids, awesome docs and nurses, priceless friends; a little overwhelmed by the sweet tweets. Love all y’all,” he wrote.

McKean’s wife Annette O’Toole tweeted appreciation as well:

“Thank you dear people for your love and support. @MJMcKean and I so appreciative. He is getting great care. Spirits are good. Grateful, we.”

The unfortunate news is that McKean will now have to step out of his starring role in the Broadway production of Gore Vidal’s The Best Man.

The good news is that McKea in stable condition after a vehicle jumped onto the sidewalk at West 86th Street and Broadway in Manhattan.

Not only that, he was about to recover his iPhone and send the above Tweet. You see, there's always a silver lining, now matter how dark the cloud.

Casper Smart will be accompanying Jennifer Lopez on tour this summer. But you won't need to purchase a ticket in order to see this dancer in action.

E! News has confirmed that Oxygen has purchased a reality show from J. Lo that centers around her dancing tour troupe, and will be led by the singer's 25-year old boy toy.

As the group's supervising choreographer of the group, Smart will be highlighted on the series, but he won't be the only mover, shaker and grinder to appear on the show. Look for it to take viewers behind the scenes of Lopez's tour.

It's unknown if Jennifer herself will make any appearances, but the program will premiere in early 2013. Think you'll tune in?

Glee star Jane Lynch narrates a new documentary about LGBT rights in America, featuring a candid interview with President Obama and doubling as a de facto campaign ad for the reelection-seeking Commander-in-Chief in 2012.

The documentary-style commercial highlights Obama's achievements over the past three years, most notably ending the military's Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy and most recently coming out with full support for same-sex marriage.

The Prez even name-checks Lady Gaga. Check it out below:

New American Idol champion Phillip Phillips should take note. He can only hope and pray to have half the career that has blessed original winner Kelly Clarkson.

The talented crooner appeared this week on the Dancing with the Stars finale and sang a medley of "Dark Side" and "Stronger," and now she's unveiled the official music video for the first track.

“Don’t run away, don’t run away, just tell me that you will stay, promise me you will stay,” Clarkson sings below. See for yourself now:

Clarkson - along with John Legend, Jennifer Nettles and Robin Thicke - will anchor a new singing competition on ABC titled Duets. It premieres tonight.

Jessica Vega, a New York woman who faked having cancer so donors would pay for her "dream wedding" and Caribbean honeymoon, was released from jail Wednesday after repaying the guests she conned and agreeing to community service.

Makes that stomach flu you used to skip work last month seem tame at least.

Vega apologized in court for the scam and was sentenced to time served. She had been behind bars less than two months since her arrest.

After her unbelievable stunt unraveled, she pleaded guilty in April to charges of scheming to defraud and possession of a forged instrument.

When she left the Orange County Jail in upstate New York a few hours later, she apologized again, insisting that "of course" she was sorry.

Officials say Jessica Vega had paid back more than $13,000 to her guests, with nine victims getting checks ranging from $500-3,700.

Vega also was sentenced to five years of probation and must do 300 hours of community service while undergoing mental health treatment.

She was living in Montgomery, 60 miles north of NYC, when she began the scam, which picked up steam when a newspaper did a story on her.

It's not quite a Chris Brown and Chrissy Teigen-level feud, but Pauly D and Deadmau5 have been engaged in a bit of a Twitter beef of their own this week.

$h!t got so real after Deadmau5 said earlier this week that the Jersey Shore star was a hack and basically has zero talent when it comes to DJing.

Pauly D's response? The Tweet and photo below:

No word on whether Deadmau5, who also got into it with Madonna recently, truly thinks that 4x4=12, or if Neil Diamond is planning a Twitter offensive of his own after being inadvertently dragged into this war of words.

In any case, the beat goes on. And it sounds like nnts nnts nnts nnts ....

Ray J is out of the hospital and expected to make a full recovery, following a scare this weekend when the singer thought he had suffered a fatal blood clot.

And fans of the former Kim Kardashian sex tape partner reportedly have Sophie Monk to thank.

According to TMZ sources, the model was staying in a different hotel room from Ray J on Sunday night, but popped in to check on her Prince Reigns campaign mate (we wonder why?!?) and found him on the floor, unresponsive.

Monk proceeded to alert the hotel management, who dialed 911. An ambulance then transported Ray J to the hospital and, fortunately for all involved, nothing especially worrisome was discovered.

If anybody wants to know why Jenny McCarthy is posing for Playboy at the age of 39, nearly two decades after she first did, her response is twofold, and simple:

1. To promote autism research, and 2. Why not?

TV's Love in the Wild host took to Twitter this week and said, "Why should only 20 yr olds be considered sexy?" she writes. "Let's (hear) it for the MILFs."

Somehow we imagine guys can buy into that.

Jenny McCarthy Playboy Interview

In a poll, fans have responded by a two-to-one margin that McCarthy has only gotten better with age from when she first appeared in Playboy in 1993.

Interestingly, two years ago, McCarthy told Playboy in an interview (above) that she could be persuaded to pose again, but the mag couldn't afford it.

Maybe the price went down? Or Hef dug deeper?

Who knows. Also interestingly, Jenny said at age 37 that wasn't sure if she'd still "have it" in a few years. Guess it's safe to say she still does.

Fox has one question for viewers: Are you ready?

During last night's American Idol finale, the network aired its first promo for season two of The X Factor. It included, of course, shots of the show's two new judges: Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. It also featured a cackling Simon Cowell asking folks, what the heck was I thinking?

We have no idea, as neither Britney nor Demi seem like ideal choices for a live competition that involves banter, quick wit and the ability to actually critique others. But, hey, we'll be happy to be proven wrong.

Watch the trailer now:
