Jonas Brothers are set to release the Soundtrack to their new movie, “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” on February 24th, three days before the film is slated to hit 3D theaters across the nation. The soundtrack includes old favorites like “Hold On” and “S.O.S” as well as live performances with Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, a Shania Twain cover, and one new, never-before-heard studio recording called “Love Is On Its Way.” The highly anticipated film goes behind-the-scenes with Kevin, Joe and Nick on last year’s Burning Up Tour, following their every move along the way. Check out the recently released video for “Tonight,” the first single from the Soundtrack, featuring great live footage from the movie.

The New Year has already proven to be a continuation of their hot streak with a performance at the Kids’ Inaugural Concert in D.C. and an upcoming performance on the Grammys where they are nominated for Best New Artist.

Rise Against – Audience of One

The New Kids on the Block recorded a song last week with a fellow 80s boy band, New Edition. The thing is the most infamous member, Bobby Brown, was cut out of the picture. The track called ‘Full Service’ will be on NKOTB’s as yet untitled upcoming album. Producer RedOne says “Donnie Wahlberg had this idea for a few months, since New Kids had the idea of getting back together really. Donnie’s been looking for that one track for all of them and I think we found it.” New Edition’s Ralph Tresvant recently spoke about the bands’ rumored feud saying “The thing people were going back and forth with was we’d been doing what we were doing for the longest [but] we couldn’t get cartoons and things that the white guys were getting. It was like, ‘wow’. But the guys themselves, we have mad love.”

Coldplay’s comeback show has been thrown into jeopardy after Chris Martin injured himself in rehearsals. The 31-year-old singer twisted his knee awkwardly during practice sessions ahead of the band’s date at London’s Brixton Academy on Monday, and is in excruciating pain.

A source said: “Chris has been in absolute agony with his knee. He’s had to strap it up and has been hobbling around the place. He doesn’t want to cancel the show so he is going to fight through the pain barrier.”

If the concert goes ahead it will showcase Coldplay’s much-anticipated fourth album ‘Viva La Vida, Or Death And All His Friends’, which was released yesterday.

Chris’ injury is not the band’s only setback. They have also been forced to postpone the start of their North American tour due to “production delays”. The run of shows was due to begin in Philadelphia on June 29 but will now start in Los Angeles on July 14.

A statement on their official website read: “The band have experienced some production delays which mean that the show simply won’t be ready for June 29. It’s very frustrating but they promise you a show worthy of your patience and understanding when they start in mid-July.”

OMG, they are, like, so hot! Oh wait, they aren’t really. But girls the world over think they hung the moon.

Nick, Joe, and Kevin were on hand Wednesday for the NYC premiere of their Disney channel original movie Camp Rock. The movie is set to air on Disney next Friday, June 20th.

Joe Jonas plays Shane who is the lead singer for a band called Connect Three. Nick plays Nate, a vocalist and guitarist, while Kevin plays Jason, the lead guitarist. Wow, they are really stretching the parts there!

The Jonas Brothers were spotted as they filmed the music video for their single ‘Kung Fu Grip’ on Thursday in San Pedro, California. 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick were seen dressed in a number of outfits for the video including karate uniforms and headbands. Nick was also seen dressed in a red wet suit while riding a speedboat. His scene had him jump out of the boat and fire a net gun at 2 other guys. Well that sounds interesting. However, some people are saying that the video might not be for ‘Kung Fu Grip’ but rather for ‘Burning Up’.

The Jonas Brothers were spotted in Los Angeles just as they got finished running a couple of errands on Tuesday. Mark your calendars now as the band of brothers consisting of 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick will be releasing their new album called ‘A Little Bit Longer’ on August 12. They recently talked to Popstar about their upcoming ‘Burnin’ Up’ tour where Nick said “We’re definitely talking about having some fire and maybe some explosions.” He even jokingly added “We’re going to [swallow swords of fire]!” Are we going to see a concert or a circus act?
