I’m Sorry You Got Kicked Out Of The Band. [Watch]

Nick visited Jimmy Kimmel last night for a little chat and a nice plug for his newly released solo project album “Who I Am.”

They talked about Nick’s busy couple of weeks, the Grammys, recording the 25th Anniversary of “We Are The World,” and touched on his release day activities. Nick poked some fun at Vince Vaughan, Li’l Wayne, and Bob Dylan. The Bob Dylan remark turned out to be a bit of a faux pas (remember what they say about respect and your elders, Nick? Especially if that elder is an icon in American Music and around the world – just sayin’).

They also talked about Nick getting “kicked out of the band,”  what the Jonas Brothers have coming up in 2010, and hanging with The Administration. Jimmy also creates an awkward moment at the end of part 1 that I will just let you discover for yourselves.

Nick does a great job (faux pas aside), and it makes for a very enjoyable 6 or so minutes.

Watch it for yourself after the jump!

…Of Your Mind. [NJA]

Happy “Who I Am” day, everybody!

No, it is not Bizzaro World. Nick hasn’t bumped his head (as far as we know). It is a true fact that Nick’s second solo album “Who I Am” recorded with his band The Administration has dropped. That’s right. It’s finally here!

It has been a busy day (and it’s not over yet). Nick met with fans in Santa Monica, did some live streaming, and released a new video (we always love them).

For those of you who were holding out for today, what are your thoughts? I am just giving it my first listen now, so I will have to get back to you…

Check out the new video after the jump, and pick up “Who I Am” at your favorite CD place, or download from Amazon.com or iTunes. Do we really need to stress that you should BUY the music again? We will anyway. Buy it, don’t steal it – please.

I am also adding the first Modelinia video below…because I can.

Enjoy!

The Boys Are Back In Town. [Open]

That’s right!

The Guys were presenters tonight at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, CA.

They look so mature, so polished…so…

He Is Young, But Not Naive. [NJA]

Nick J may be off the chain, but he is most definitely on the cover of VMan Magazine.* Three times in fact. Three covers, and one nice little article along with a fashion photoshoot.

Mr. Brown takes some uneducated potshots at the Jonas Brothers and makes the same tired out references to Justin Timberlake, purity rings, and bubblegum boy bands, but he is not the worst offender. In the end it is a good profile of Nick and his aspirations in regards to his new solo album. Here is an excerpt:

Conventional wisdom has long held that Disney pulls the Jonas strings, but more often than not, it’s Nick behind the scenes calling the shots. His adult entourage laughs about calling him “the president,” but the deference they show him as he strides into the Soho Grand lobby for this interview makes clear that the nickname is no joke. Now Nick is ready to push things further. With his new band, Nick Jonas and the Administration, and its first album, Who I Am, he plans to show the world that he’s grown up. Jacob Brown, VMan Magazine, Spring 2010

Go On And Take A Listen. Nick J Said It’s OK [NJA]

It’s Here!

W00t!

So….now that all of you good and patient people can take a listen too…

What do you think?

For those of you who have been to NJA shows – What do you think about the studio versions of the songs?

I have “Vespers Goodbye” on “repeat” (meaning I keep clicking back to it).

Snap up your copy of “Who I Am” in all the usual places on February 2!  Groundhog Day!

I Think It’s Nice To Have a Break, Just Like Anything, So You Can Really Appreciate It. [Listen]

So said Joe Jonas, anyway, while hanging out this morning with Ryan Seacrest (as Nick did in early December).  I tend to agree.  Or at least hope all the bandmembers agree, and double for us fans, in the end!

Take to the jump to listen to Joe chat with the ever-pot-stirring Ryan to promote his upcoming American Idol guest-judging stint (this Tuesday!…or Wednesday?), and talk about the persistent band breakup speculation, romance gossip debunking, his silver screen aspirations and (my personal favorite) his own recent songwriting spree.  Good stuff!!!

Come Together [Giving]

The Guys came together and joined more than a hundred fellow celebrities for the Hope For Haiti Now telethon which aired last night. They were there to raise money to help the victims of the huge earthquake which caused Haiti unfathomable destruction, loss of life, and continued suffering.

Kevin, Joe and Nick manned the phone banks, but there were also performances, heart wrenching video essays, and phones answered by some of our most beloved people.

Kevin talks about taking calls and how it is important to help others – always:

You can read more about their experience here.

A benefit album of the evenings performances featuring some amazing artists like Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, and many others is available for pre-order from iTunes now with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit the people of Haiti.

It is a great cause, and if you missed your opportunity last night you can still give here.

If nothing else, please keep the people of Haiti in your hearts and prayers.

Follow me over the jump for one of the many moving performance of the evening.

Mystery Man [Open]

Who is this mystery man? He has recently appeared keeping company with Joe Jonas, Greg Garbowsky, Jack Lawless, and Ryan Liestman. Could he be a new band member? The roomie who really knows how to make fettuccini alfredo and always does the dishes?

I know we usually do not venture into the realm of gossip on this blog, but there is something about this guy that gives me the creeps (and it is not just because I am a Philadelphia Phillies fan… or is it?).

See the evidence after the jump…

On the Record. [Newz]

Well, this has been an interesting week for Jonas fans…

Just as more of us began to grow accustomed to to the Jonas Brothers hiatus which had a primary media focus on the Nick Jonas & the Administration Tour & lead-up to the side project’s impending album, with Kevin Jonas marriage news sprinkled in, another shakeup in the Jonasphere: Joe Jonas is most definitely back to work. Surely not in the same way that Nick is, but definitely *on*.  Real entertainment news outlets are talking about it now, so it’s officially fair game around these parts. So what of it, Revelers?

Jump with me…
