Nick Jonas speaks on diabetes in Washington

Presidents and kings had spoken from that podium. Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev explained how he would bury American capitalism. And Archbishop Desmond Tutu explained how peaceful resistance could break South African Apartheid.

But Monday, there was no king on the National Press Club stage. The guest speaker was the newest prince of pop, Nick Jonas. And although the capacity crowd probably contained more teenage girls than any luncheon in the Press Club's storied 101-year history, the 16-year-old singing sensation didn't even sing.

Instead, the energetic performer known as “Mister President” because of his lofty aspirations and limitless drive, delivered what may turn out to be the first speech of the 2040 presidential campaign.

Nick, the best known of the three Jonas Brothers, described his four-year battle with diabetes and why he had decided to go public with his struggles. His message, as disciplined as any politician's, was simple: “Diabetes is manageable. ... I can live out my dream with diabetes.”

Now, as the young singer/songwriter tours the country with his older brothers, he leads a highly structured life of medical tests, glucose meters, insulin pumps, carb counting and careful dieting.

Over the past four years, the Texas native has become a national spokesman for juvenile diabetes — launching a web site, NicksSimpleWins.com, creating diabetes “dog tags” to raise awareness and cash for research, testifying on Capitol Hill and meeting President Barack Obama at the White House.

In an interview, Jonas said he decided to use his celebrity “to talk to people who are not as much in the spotlight,” such as a girl in Miami who was taunted as “robot girl” by classmates because of her medication equipment.

“To think that it can encourage or inspire someone in the world is an amazing thing,” he said.

Now, for those who care about pesky private questions:

• Does he have a girlfriend? “I do not.”

• Would he date a fan? “Yes.”

• His musical idols? Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Prince and Stevie Wonder.

• His dream job? “I've always wanted to be president of the United States.”

But won't it be a few years before he can move into the Oval Office? “2040 to be exact,” he points out.

His political machine, fueled by teenage girls, is already at work on it.

Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas dating?

Now that all the Disney stars have joined Twitter, they've also opened themselves up to an ugly side of fame: the posers. Tons of people pop up on Twitter posing as Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers.

According to these "fake" Twitter accounts (mind you, no one's sure if they're real or fake!), Nick Jonas just broke up with Miley Cyrus to date Demi Lovato, and Miley is pissed. Check out some of the harsh words being exchanged by the impostors! If these are the real thing - well, we've got a major situation on our hands, because Selena's siding with Demi, her long time friend, Miley's throwing harsh words at Demi, who was her best friend as of this morning, and Nick's just telling Miley off by claiming he loves Demi. Ouch, that one's gotta hurt.

If these aren't the real kids, then why go to all the trouble? Fakers are one thing, but this is a heated Twitter debate! It's certainly quite the scheme to be cooked up by some bored teens sitting at home. I'm going to go with a case of mistaken identity - I highly doubt the exchange below is taking place with the real Demi, Nick, Miley and Selena. But lord knows that things could get messy when a group of stars is as close as these kids are.

What do you guys think? How do you tell the real stars from the fake ones? Would the real Nick ever date Demi? Would the real Demi do that to Miley? Here's hoping all of this is just one big scam!

Is Nick Jonas going to college?

It seems like almost all the Jonas Brothers are publicly thinking about their futures these days — except perhaps the group’s resident free spirit, Joe Jonas. Kevin Jonas is engaged. And, it’s now being rumored that 16-year-old Nick is also thinking about his next step in life.

According to a Perez Hilton sighting, Nick was seen visiting Northwestern University on Monday (July 6). When reached for comment, a rep for the band said, “We have no comment on this.”

Back in March, during a press call about their tour, Nick actually shared with reporters that Northwestern was definitely on his radar if he should choose to pursue his education. “I would definitely love to go to college,” he said. “I’ve always talked about going to school at Northwestern in Chicago and I think that would be a lot of fun.”

In June, the musician, who has previously said he’d want to study English if he went to college, graduated from high school and excitedly shared the news with his fans and MTV News, but had yet to plan out how exactly he would be celebrating the milestone.

“I’m happy to announce I have graduated! Class of ‘09!” he had written on his Twitter. “Congrats to everyone else who has also graduated this year! -Mr. President (Nick)”

Miley Cyrus Back with Nick Jonas

Hannah Montana: Miley Cyrus Back with Nick Jonas and Another Photo Scandal

Thursday, June 25, 2009

Is Miley Cyrus proof that history repeats itself? The Disney Channel tween queen seems to be going back to her old ways these days. First, her rekindled relationship with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas has been confirmed. Second, it's been said that she's involved in yet another controversial photo.

Let's tackle the Nick Jonas issue. On Larry King Live last Thursday, Nick's brother Joe Jonas revealed that Miley's getting back into their lives. The host of the late night talk show asked Joe about his girlfriend, and later posted a question regarding his brothers' recent romances.

When Larry King wondered aloud if Joe's girl Camilla Belle is as famous as Nick's girlfriend, the 19-year-old Jonas Brother answered: "I don't think anyone's as famous as Miley Cyrus."

There goes the speculation. While neither of the celebrity's reps has responded to Joe Jonas' comments, Miley Cyrus has been quoted saying that she has indeed "reconnected" with Nick. It was over between her and Justin Gaston, so it sounds like there's hope for a "Niley" comeback.

"He's my best friend, and we still hang out all the time, and we've definitely reconnected," she admitted. "And we don't know what's going to happen in the future, but right now we're just kicking it and hanging out as much as we can."

Also in Miley's world, another set of scandalous pictures have surfaced. While it's been quite a while since her last one, she can't seem to stop fooling with the camera. Then again, the Hannah Montana star's representatives told the NY Daily News that the photos are indeed fake.

"The alleged photo of Miley Cyrus circulating the internet is completely fabricated," said the spokesperson. However, it looks far from it once you see the actual shots.

According to the Actress Archives, the latest pictures show Miley Cyrus on the set of her upcoming movie, The Last Song. She was seen posing provocatively with producer Adam Shankman, who posted them on his website.

To their defense, Shankman said: "Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! Seriously! Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She's like my angel little sister."

Whatever Miley's up to, there's no doubt that this issue will blow over soon. More fans are anticipating her performance on The Last Song, in which she does admit is a more grown-up role for her. Maybe that explains the photos?
