Kevin Jonas has public spat with wife
Kevin Jonas and his new wife Danielle Deleasa were recently spotted arguing at a supermarket.
The couple, who married last December, were overheard fighting about Valentine's Day plans at Gelson's Market in Los Angeles earlier this month.
"She was complaining that they were grocery shopping on Valentine’s Day," a spectator told In Touch Weekly.
"It seemed like poor Kevin didn’t know what to do when Danielle was lecturing him. He looked kind of uncomfortable standing there."
The couple met in 2007 while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas. Jonas currently stars in the Disney Channel television series JONAS with his brothers Joe and Nick.

Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers Are Top Moneymakers!
Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift have landed themselves in the Top 40 Moneymakers Of 2010 from Billboard! Here’s how they stacked up …
#7 The Jonas Brothers released their fourth studio album ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ June 15, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and setting up the boy band for another fruitful year of album sales and touring. The act racked up almost $1.3 million in CD royalties. The band’s world tour netted them $31.4 million and won the group the Eventful Fans’ Choice Award at the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards.
#15 Miley Cyrus is No. 4 on the 2010 Money Makers list in terms of CD royalties with more than $4.3 million; her one new release during the year was the Walmart-exclusive EP ‘The Time of Our Lives.’ Cyrus’ Wonder World tour earned her slightly more than $15 million, according to Boxscore. Not included in this tally, but still of note: Her feature-film debut, ‘Hannah Montana: The Movie,’ grossed $79.5 million at the box office.
#21 Taylor Swift is in the big leagues of earners. Her financial package is well-rounded, and she’s one of the few on this list whose income wasn’t driven mostly by touring, her touring revenue accounted for less than half of her Money Makers total, and her CD royalties were topped only by Michael Jackson.

Get Ready for 4zero9ten
Remember when the 2twenty6ten video went viral back in January?
Well, today is that day and now we’ve got another clue to the mystery. A new video titled 4zero9ten has hit the web. We can only wonder what the video is for. The video features all of the Jonas Group’s clients like the Jonas Brothers, Jordin Sparks, Demi Lovato, Honor Society, Wonder Girls, Frankie Jonas, Meaghan Martin, Jordan Pruitt, KSM & Anna Maria Perez de Tagle. We think this rules out the idea of a tour DVD.
So what could it be? Guess we’ll have to wait until April 9 to find out! Be sure to follow it’s official twitter: @2twenty6ten to keep updated.
What are your guesses?
Update: The Jonas Brothers just took to their twitter to talk about the video: The video is real! We have a big announcement coming up that we are really excited about and this is just a sneak peak. Another video is coming on 4.19.10 with full details of our plan. This couldn’t happen without you guys. You are the best fans in the world!

Selena Gomez blogs about Kiwanis
Kiwanis has changed the world for the better, working with UNICEF and other partners to tackle Iodine Deficiency Disorder. Now Kiwanis is deciding what their next Worldwide Service Project will be and I hope they choose Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT).
Kiwanis believes that every child deserves to live a life without the threat of illness. UNICEF stands with them in this belief. If UNICEF is chosen as the partner for the next Worldwide Service Project, together Kiwanis and UNICEF will help save the lives of mothers and their babies from Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT).
Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) kills one baby every four minutes. MNT can abruptly turn the joy of new life into wrenching tragedy. Its effects are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and become hypersensitive to light, sound and touch. Even a mother’s soothing voice and comforting caress are unbearable for the infant. Few babies survive. Tetanus may claim the mother’s life as well.
In impoverished countries, where women have little access to health care, many are forced to give birth in an unsanitary conditions. Tetanus spores are found everywhere — in the air, soil and contaminated objects. Bacteria can enter the mother’s body through open wounds and pass through a newly cut umbilical cord. Once the baby is infected, a lethal toxin attacks his or her nervous system.
Tetanus is highly preventable. Three doses of a low cost vaccine can protect mothers and babies.
If chosen, this project would raise 110 million dollars to help eliminate this deadly disease and save 129 million mothers and their future babies.

Just got back from some cool places...(photo blog)
Hi guys :)
We just got back from Australia and Japan. I won't ever forget the people. Or the sky.
(Al took this picture in Brisbane.)
The Opera House in Sydney... That city sparkled.
I remember last year when we were in Australia for the first time, we went to go see a Coldplay concert on one of our days off.
It was at the giant arena there, and I remember thinking "Wouldn't it be amazing if someday down the line, we could play in this arena?"
Playing two nights in that arena less than a year later was something I'll never forget. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Sydney.

I met Liz in a meet and greet line a few years ago. Now she's my back up singer. And we have FUN!
I was walking in Brisbane, listening to music. And then I saw this tree, all by itself.
It looked so lonely, I thought I'd give it some attention and take a picture of it.
It's probably not lonely though. It's probably just independent.
I love sparkly things. Like crowds that look like this.
This kind of thing happens to Caitlin all the time.
Hiiiii guys!!!
A few hours off in Melbourne = beach.
Me, Grant's hair, and Caitlin.
Lacey, Liz, Charity, Claire. 3/5 of the girls in this shot are skilled, trained dancers. The other two are trained in frolicking.
Example:
I really liked that day.
My producer sent me this picture of the moment I'll never forget. I love you guys for making my life into this.
We were like "Woah. That is a GIANT bath tub. Let's see how many of us can fit in it for a picture." Four.
Anger! Drums! Battle! Hair!
We played 7 shows in 9 days in Australia. The fans gave us lots of awesome presents. My mom seemed to like this one.
(Those are tiny koalas hanging from the hat.. It's all about the fine details. What a work of art.))
Then we went to JAPAN!
Find the photo bomb. Go!
(Discovering unexpected guests in the background of my pictures upon upload = a new hobby for me.)
This was a restaurant where they shot a fight scene from Kill Bill. We all watched it again beforehand to properly prepare.
We all really liked it there.
The show in Tokyo was unbelievable and the fans were so welcoming to us, everywhere we went. I loved the presents and the letters. I can't wait to go back and play more shows.
I saw these fabric flowers in a store and thought, that's so incredibly lovely.
It was Valentine's Day. Tokyo was my Valentine.
Then we got on a plane. It was the first time I'd seen home in close to a month.
I've been writing lots of songs. And the tour is starting up again soon in the US. I love you guys.

Selena Gomez Says Next Album Will Have 'Reggae Sound'
Selena Gomez is currently working on a slightly harder follow-up to her 2009 debut album, Kiss & Tell. The album, which she released with her band The Scene, was a pop record and Gomez recently told MTV News that for her sophomore effort she wants to go a bit funkier and a bit edgier.
"We were gonna do a deluxe edition of my album, but we started on some songs, so we figured, 'Why not? Let's just go for a second one,' " she explained. "It's kind of different — older — and it's kind of got, like, a reggae sound."
Gomez is only in the early stages of the album-making process. Currently the band is trying to "fill it out," but she knows she'd like to see if she can re-create the vibe from her single "Naturally" — but she's unsure if she's willing to take on the pressure of being the album's main songwriter. "I don't want it all to be on me," Gomez said.
So what about possible collaborators? "Well, I want to work with the producers who did "Naturally' [Antonina Armato, Tim James and Devrim Karaoglu]. They are so sweet," she said. "I'd love to work with Dr. Luke. I think he's awesome," she added about the "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker.
Gomez noted that on her first record, she made sure she picked tunes that her fans could easily relate to. "I wanted to make sure, A, I can relate to it and B, my fans can relate to it, and it's something that I went through," she explained. "And all of those songs are things that I went through, and that's why I put that all together."

On what she would love to get with a little magic help: “Oh goodness. That’s hard. Man. Well, I think a boyfriend would be nice.”

Grading the Jonas Brothers as Athletes: Who Can Play Ball?
While the debate rages on in the music world over the quality of Jonas Brothers music, and over the musical ability of the individual Jonas boys themselves, we couldn't help but notice a difference in the athletic talents of each of the three singing brothers.
After careful examination from a team of leading sports analysts, a music industry writer who knows nothing about sports, and the lady who sells overpriced muffins in the lobby, we've created a ranking of the Jonas Brothers based on their athletic abilities, from first to worst:
Some would argue that little brother Nick has the strongest musical chops; we are definitely arguing that Nick is the best of the three athletically. Just look at that concentration and approach to driving the golf ball, especially when girl"friend" Selena Gomez stands just feet away. Nick also appears to be the only brother capable of deftly throwing or catching a football. Seems the talent pool in the family may run downhill.
Grade: A-, nobody's perfect, not even Nick Jonas.
While middle-brother Joe ponders the opportunity for branching out with his own solo career, not to mention coupling up with Pixie Lott, he also shows that he can handle a round ball. See how he keeps his head up while dribbling the ball, lines up his shot, and follows through with the skill of a shooter. The only noteworthy deficiency is the hipster boots. Whoa there cowboy, who wears boots to play basketball?
Grade: B, because we've also seen this.
We definitely know one thing Kevin has experienced that his younger brothers have not, but it's certainly not athletic training. We searched and searched but were unable to find any evidence that oldest brother, Kevin, has any sports skills whatsoever. See here how little brother Nick gives Kevin some pointers on how to catch a football, how Kevin blows off the advice with the universal sign of "I got it -- no problem", then flubs the ball right toward his grill. Epic fail.
Grade: D-, despite the failure we believe in second chances.

After careful examination from a team of leading sports analysts, a music industry writer who knows nothing about sports, and the lady who sells overpriced muffins in the lobby, we've created a ranking of the Jonas Brothers based on their athletic abilities, from first to worst:
Some would argue that little brother Nick has the strongest musical chops; we are definitely arguing that Nick is the best of the three athletically. Just look at that concentration and approach to driving the golf ball, especially when girl"friend" Selena Gomez stands just feet away. Nick also appears to be the only brother capable of deftly throwing or catching a football. Seems the talent pool in the family may run downhill.

Miley Cyrus Knows How To Dress Super-Appropriately
Miley Cyrus definitely knows how to dress these days. Ok, who are we kidding, she has no idea how to clothe herself. Those shorts and the ripped shirt with her bra out is definitely a problem.
Is someone feeling a little inspired by Snooki and J-WoWW? It looks like it. At least she has her dog Mate out in front to protect our eyes from that horrid excuse for an outfit.

Nick Jonas And Demi Lovato Get Cozy
Nick Jonas went to the House of Blues on Sunset yesterday to support Demi Lovato. Nick watched as Demi performed "We'll Be a Dream" with the band We Three Kings. Later, the two sat at the same table, laughed, and took pics with their fans.
This story could have a happy ending.... but c'mon, this is Hollywood people. Selena Gomez might not like that her new boyfriend got cozy with her ex best friend. After Demi and Sel's recent split, Sel declared Taylor Swift as her new BFF. Will Demi try and declare Nick her new BFF?
Do you think Nick should be loyal to Sel and give Demi the cold shoulder? Or should he be able to be friends with anyone he wants to?
