With Nick and Joe pursuing solo gigs and Kevin busy shopping, is there any chance that the Jonas Brothers are no longer a band? According to Joe Jonas, that maybe the case but nothing is set in stone just yet. Joe spoke to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show saying “I think that’s undecided. I know a tour is in the works, and we’re planning one right now. So we’ll have one probably by the end of summer or something. We didn’t have this year totally mapped out like the past few years, because we wanted to have a little break time to figure it all out. I think we will do a tour, for sure, as the Jonas Brothers, but then we’ll see from there.” Could that tour be their farewell?

Nick Jonas recently announced on his blog that he and his band The Administration will be kicking off a month-long tour starting January 2nd. The Jonas Brothers member will be performing in more intimate settings, so if he happens to be your favorite of the trio, you can expect to be getting a lot closer than all of those sold out arenas. Tickets for his concerts will go on sale in select cities on December 5th and everywhere else on December 12th. I have a feeling that a lot of teenage girls will be switching around their Christmas wish lists for this one.

For some reason I can’t really comprehend, Selena Gomez decided to pull out a Backstreet Boys cover of ‘I Want it That Way’ at her concert in San Diego last weekend. The poor Disney starlet had to sing the song well below her register – or maybe she just can’t sing it that well. Selena sounded like she smoked a pack of cigarettes before taking the stage. She couldn’t even sing most of the song! Some backup singer named Greg had to jump in to save her from further humiliation. Whose idea was all of this? If I didn’t know any better, I would say that she’s gotten crazy.

Breaking Benjamin lead singer Ben Burnley is going to be part of Xbox Live’s “Game With Fame” series tonight (10/15)! Ben will be playing “Call of Duty 4″ with the gamertag “BreakBen GwF” (make sure you put the space between BreakBen and GwF!) between the hours of 7pm-9pm EST. Anyone can play so all you need to do is log into XBox live and play “Call of Duty 4″. Make sure to bring your “A” game!

Breaking Benjamin have also just released their new album Dear Agony on September 29th. The album made a big splash at iTunes, debuting at Number 1 on the album chart.

Breaking Benjamin are also about to embark on a fall tour with Rev Theory, Sick Puppies (select dates), The Veer Union (select dates), and Adelitas Way.

Sophomore Release Due Out November 17th

OneRepublic have unveiled the cover to their highly anticipated sophomore album Waking Up. The follow-up to their Dreaming Out Loud debut is due out on November 17th, and it features the powerful new single “All The Right Moves.” OneRepublic broke records with their mega-hit “Apologize” which became the most legally downloaded song in US digital history.

In anticipation of the album’s release, the Colorado-based quintet is heading out on tour with Rob Thomas. Visit Myspace.com/OneRepublic

to listen to “All The Right Moves” in full and view the upcoming tour schedule.

Full press release below:

In 2007, after seven years together as a band, OneRepublic took the world by storm with their debut release Dreaming Out Loud. The album included the smash first single “Apologize” which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide, and along with second single “Stop And Stare” propelled the album to platinum plus sales. Now the boys from Denver are back with a new set and a fall tour! Waking Up will be released November 17th on Mosley/Interscope Records. First single “All The Right Moves” will go for adds at radio September 22nd.

In support of their new release OneRepublic will join Rob Thomas on tour beginning September 23rd at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL.

OneRepublic recorded Waking Up in their home town of Denver, CO. Tedder, an accomplished producer in his own right, and one of the most sought after songwriters of today, has penned and produced hit singles for the likes of Leona Lewis, Beyonce, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez and Natasha Bedingfield and is currently working with Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Adam Lambert and Rascal Flatts. Naturally he was up for producing duties on his band’s new album.

OneRepublic is Ryan Tedder (songwriter/vocals/keyboard), Zach Filkins (guitar), Drew Brown (guitar), Brent Kutzle (bass, cello), and Eddie Fisher (drums). In addition to their success here in the states, OneRepublic also has tremendous international success achieving gold record status in 12 countries. They have shared the stage with acts such as Lenny Kravitz, The Verve, and Muse at various music festivals around the world.

Joe Jonas has reportedly split with Camilla Belle. Before the official announcement from the actress’ rep, fans based the breakup theory off of some pretty strong acts of sadness from the Jonas Brothers singer. At a show in Detroit, the singer actually broke out in tears during two of his performances. Many fans saw and heard Joe cry through his ‘Camp Rock’ hit ‘Gotta Find You’ and ‘Turn Right’. Additionally, during the song ‘Much Better’, Joe changed the lyrics from “Get a rep for breakin’ hearts, now I’m done with superstars” to “Get a rep for breakin hearts, now I’m done with movie stars.” At their Boston show a week earlier, while performing ‘Much Better’, Joe took off the necklace that Camilla gave to him.

Starting in October, look for ‘Star Wars: The Concert’ to hit an arena near you. Apparently, geeks will take any excuse to dress up and talk in fake alien languages. The concert version of the beloved sci-fi series will feature a live symphony orchestra, huge screens, film clips and a travelling exhibit. The music that will be featured will be a compilation of the work of John Williams from all six movies and Anthony Daniels, the actor who portrayed robot C-3PO in the movies, will even narrate the event live. The concert will kick off in Anaheim on October 1st. Tickets will go on sale on August 1st.

Ticketmaster is probably one of the worst companies in America as they have screwed up once again. They screwed up this past Monday when they posted the wrong seating chart for Miley Cyrus’ concert at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum, which has caused fans to pay big money for lame seats. Ticketmaster later released a statement regarding the mistake saying “Some fans who purchased the best available floor tickets to Miley Cyrus’s upcoming Nassau Coliseum concerts during Monday’s fanclub presale may have viewed a seating map that was updated later that day. The system did provide the best tickets available to all buyers at their time of purchase, however if any consumer is unhappy with their floor seats in sections A2, B2, and C2 because of the seating map change, they may obtain a refund by calling Ticketmaster’s customer service at 1-800-745-3000.”

The Veronicas just kicked off a cross-country tour in support of their album Hook Me Up. The Australian twin sisters are joined by Taylor Momsen’s (Gossip Girl) new band Pretty Reckless and blues rock group Carney. Check out dates below to see if Lisa and Jess are coming to a city near you.

“Take Me On The Floor” video:

The band is currently touring in South America and it seems they are treading on some very thin ice due to tensions on the inside. Noel Gallagher, Oasis’ guitarist, wrote the following about the band’s tour so far: “We speak at bad times for the Oasis tour. Bad times. We are a rudderless ship at the minute. And there’s a fuckin’ shit-storm on the horizon. I guess all will be revealed in due course. Strange atmosphere. I wouldn’t mind but we’re in South America! Playing massive stadiums and there’s a bit too much hrmph-ing going on for my liking. Shame really.” That’s such a profoundly metaphoric way for Noel Gallagher to be describing Oasis’ trouble on their tour in South America. Actually, it’s probably no longer a tour, but a noble quest that is decaying from the inside due to the evil plaguing one of the heroes. It will be interesting to watch this story unfold and to find out the identity of the mystery villain.

Carey Hart was the first to confirm that he and ex-wife Pink are trying to work things out but his rocker girl is now also coming out in the open saying that they are “definitely back together”. Pink is currently out on her ‘Funhouse’ tour which she describes as “two hours of group therapy”. She also says that she’s not really concerned with remarrying because “we never really legally got divorced. Paperwork for both of us is really annoying (laughs). So we’re choosing to be together. Our role models are Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon and Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn – people who just choose to be together every day because they want to be there. And labels have never been our thing, so, we’re just diving into that empty swimming pool, headfirst.”

Kate Voegele has just announced that she will be going on tour! Check out dates below and save the date to catch Kate in a town near you. Visit KateVoegele.com to grab tickets.

When you’re on the D list, what do you do for extra cash? Why not try to promote your birthday at some crappy clubs in another country and hope to get paid something decent? It’s what Nick Carter did for his 29th birthday! The festivities took place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Fliers advertised the event as being “invited to this rare VIP event to celebrate the birthday of Nick Carter.” Party goers were lucky enough to hear Nick pretend to be a DJ. Tickets sold for $15 in advance and $20 at the door. The ticket info warned “Come early to avoid disappointment, as this will be a sold out event.” They wish. I bet only a handful came.
