Taylor Swift outtakes










Taylor Swift Rolling Stone outtakes Pictures from her Las Vegas show: TaylorSwiftWeb From Hannah: My best friend and I went to a Taylor's San Diego concert on Sunday and got invited backstage to Taylor's 'T-Party'!

They said during the show Taylor picks about 20 people out of the crowd that look like her biggest fans. We got to go backstage and chill in her little portable living room after the show! We just watched TV and listened to music with her band, family and dancers until she came out to talk to us.

All 20 of us got to talk to her in our groups for about 10-15 minutes. She is so nice and so down to earth! If you are going to a concert, singing your heart out and being the biggest fan can really pay off! :]

Let me just say that Taylor Swift looks fiercly stunning.

Paranoid isn't a chart topper




Jonas Brothers new single 'Paranoid' isn't faring as well as it should on Radio Disney or on mainstream raido. The songhas yet to hit the Top 40 of pop radio on its third week in release. Radio Disney has the song at #20 on their official countdown and is more interested in playing 'Live to Party.



'On iTunes, the song has been in and out of the Top 100, sitting at #91. Disney is not panicking even though their 3D concert film didn't match expectations and new episodes of their JONAS series on Disney Channel continuously get beat out in the ratings by Nickelodeon shows.



With an upcoming tour spanning three continents and the new album hitting stores in June, the band could be feeling the pressure. Nick said, 'We're all about taking those gradual steps. Kev, 'We definitely have no expectations.'



End of one of the biggest brother bands in teen pop history? Johnny Wright: 'People are wrong when they say the bubble has burst. It's just changing. We are focused on longevity and transitioning to a slightly older audience. When you do that, you risk losing some of your core fan base.'

Is the Jonas Brothers’ Bubble ready to Burst?


Are the Jonas Brothers fizzling as a full-blown Walt Disney Company franchise? Article excepts from NY Times: Jonas Brothers are trying to expand beyond the Disney footprint and shouldn't be evaluated as a company franchise, said Johnny Wright, the group's co-manager.

'We consult with Disney, but Disney doesn't tell us what to do.' The band's outside efforts include a line of branded energy drinks and starring roles in 'Walter the Farting Dog.'

People are wrong when they say the bubble has burst. It's just changing. We are focused on longevity and transitioning to a slightly older audience. When you do that, you risk losing some of your core fan base.'

Their debut film, 'The Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,' was a dud, selling just $19.2 million in tickets at North American theaters in February. Disney had hoped that the movie would generate sales of about $40 million, according to a senior studio executive.

Mr. Konowitch said expectations for 'The 3D Concert Experience' were unfairly high, noting that the band had just come off a lengthy tour that enabled most fans to see the trio in person. Mr. Wright said, 'It irks me when people say the movie was a flop. If $19 million is a flop, I'll take it.'

Konowitch also doused cold water on Miley Cyrus' drawing power, saying that her concert movie, 'Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds,' became a phenomenon that sold $65.3 million in 2008 partly because the Jonas Brothers appeared in it. Miley did not appear in the Jonas movie.


Television is also proving a bit bumpy for them. JONAS debuted on May 2 to an audience of 2.4 million kids ages 6 to 14, the target demographic, according to Nielsen Media. Joe said, 'The show is a great learning process. Acting is something I want to get into a lot more.'
