The Jonas Brothers

Joe Jonas is not recording music with his brothers these days. (Listen to his first solo track, "See No More," HERE.)

But he makes one thing clear in the latest issue of Paper Magazine: the singer is still very close with siblings Nick and Kevin.

"My brothers and I, we're like each other's best friends," he says. "And I think it's that foundation that makes me feel like I can really do this on my own for a second."

Jonas is also hoping to follow in the crazy talented footsteps of another teen idol who has risen to superstardom outside his original boy group: Justin Timberlake.

Justin Bieber once had a water bottle thrown at him on stage.

And Adam Lambert had to deal with a flying dildo in August of 2009.

But a fan in Argentina last night tossed an object at The Jonas Brothers that was far safer than either of these items, at least on one regard: around the two-minute mark of the video below, you'll see a condom thrown at Joe Jonas and picked up by brother Nick, who can't stop laughing over the incident. Can you blame him?

What Jew hating, alleged woman beating and rage-filled text messages?!?

Despite his shady past, Mel Gibson has at least three fans remaining: in a recent interview with Paul the Intern on Canada's MTV Live, The Jonas Brothers said they have met the actor and he's both "cool" and "awesome."

The discussion is mostly filled with jokes and sarcasm, as the host quizzes the siblings on everything from Christianity to Justin Bieber. But they appear to answer the question about Gibson seriously. See for yourself below:

Are you ready for the musical event of the summer?

That's how the Disney Channel is hyping Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which airs on that network on Friday, September 3.

The entire cast of the original returns for this sequel, meaning Demi Lovato will share the screen with ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas.

But there was no tension between these close friends last night, as they joined fellow stars Nick and Kevin Jonas at the film's premiere in New York City. There were smiles all around, in fact, as a pair of global icons posed for pictures with the singers...

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR CAMP ROCK 2 BELOW.

We have two pieces of breaking news regarding The Jonas Brothers:

1. They are adorable.
2. The name of their Disney Channel TV show has been changed from JONAS to Jonas L.A.

The series will now air on Sunday nights and premiere on June 20. We can only hope the siblings fire back at Justin Bieber during an episode, after that bowl haired singer called the group out for being "manufactured."

Study these pictures carefully and then answer this pressing question:

Which Jonas Brother would you rather... you know?

With a number-one album on the charts, a successful SNL gig behind him, and a movie about his life possibly on the way, might Justin Bieber be developing a major ego?

We pose this question because the singing sensation spoke to MTV News this week and gave himself props for being embraced by the hip-hop community.

"I'm really glad they've taken a liking to me," Justin said. "Having Luda [on my song "Baby"] and having Lil Wayne give me shout me out on UStream... it's cool."

Bieber was discovered by Usher's manager and signed by Def Jam Records. He says he wants to emulate the careers of Usher and Justin Timberlake.

What about other young singers, such as Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers? Bieber started a possible war in the tween world by implying that those artists are nothing more than Disney-manufactured drones. Asked why he's so popular among various demographics, he replied:

"I think it's because I didn't go through the Disney route. I didn't go corny... I've been cool and collected."

Hear that, Miley, Nick, Kevin and Joe: you're corny. Would you care to respond?

Nick Jonas has started a new band.

Kevin Jonas has begun writing his own music.

Rumors of a Jonas Brothers break-up are circulating, but Joe Jonas has a message for fans: Chill.

The singer appeared this morning to appear on The Ryan Seacrest Show and addressed this troubling talk:

“We’ve wanted to take some time off for a while now. We’ve been touring hardcore for two and a half, three years, so it’s nice to have a little break where we all can take a break and do some different things.”

What side projects does Joe have lined up?

“I want to so some acting - find the right movie and all. I’ve also been in the studio writing a lot with my friends. Not sure where that’s going to lead, whether it’s another JB album or a side deal.

"I definitely think we [Jonas Brothers] will come back for another album because we love what we do and we love being in a band together.”

That sound you hear is a collective sigh of relief from teenage girls around the globe. Below, you can listen to Joe's interview.

Please say this isn't so.

Our post-Christmas doldrums were already made worse by the news that Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were no longer a couple. We can't handle another major break-up.

But that's exactly what an anonymous source is reporting about the most popular boy band on the planet, as rumors of a Jonas Brothers split are heating up.

"Joe sees the writing on the wall for the group," a family insider told Pop Eater. "Kevin's heart is just not in the group anymore. His wife Danielle is his number one priority, especially after their wedding night!"

Whoa. TMI, random source!

Might The Jonas Brothers be waving goodbye to their fans... forever?!?

While Kevin is reportedly too busy banging his brains out to make new music, Nick Jonas has the entirely opposite problem. Says the source:

"Nick sees himself as the next Justin Timberlake and brother Joe knows it."

There actually is some validity to that statement, as Nick's new band is going on tour in early 2010. But the next JT? Let's not get ahead of ourselves!

What do you think, readers? Could Kevin really follow in the sexy(back) foosteps of Justin Timberlake? Is Kevin really trading music for sex? Could Franke "Bonus Jonas" Jonas join the group? Sound off right now!

Taylor Swift isn't the only young star that loves Christmas.

At the tapings for the 2009 Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade - which airs at 9 a.m. on ABC on December 25 - The Jonas Brothers made fans go wild at one of the world's most iconic venues.

Joined at the event by BFFs Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, the sexy siblings performed their hit, “Summertime Anthem.”

Watch the crowd go crazy for it after this article's jump, but first ogle each Jonas brother carefully in the photos below...

The Jonas Brothers are poised to take over the world. There's little we can do about it.

The Disney Channel has renewed JONAS - which stars Kevin, Nick, Joe, Chelsea Staub and Nicole Anderson - for a second season. It will premiere in mid-2010 and focus on the siblings' summer vacation in Los Angeles.

However, all is not perfect in the (adorable) Jonas world.

The group was forced to cancel a concert in Switzerland over the weekend because Nick Jonas came down with an upper respiratory infection.

This marked the first time the precious trio has canceled a show due to sickness, a development Nick apologized for via Twitter yesterday morning:

"I am happy to tell everyone that I woke up this morning, and I'm already feeling better! Thanks for all the prayers. Can't wait to rock Bilbao!"
