THE JONAS BROTHERS HEAT UP THE SUMMER WITH THEIR FIRST MOVIE, A TV SHOW, AND A BRAND-NEW ALBUM

While most kids can barely stomach a family vacation, Kevin, twenty, Joe, eighteen, and Nick, fifteen, have spent the past year on a bus with mom Denise, dad Kevin Sr. (an ordained minister), and “Bonus Jonas” brother Frankie, who is seven.

They did this while touring for their platinum record Jonas Brothers which includes such emo-pop hits as “Year 3000” and “S.O.S.” And guess what? They loved every minute of it! “We’re family guys,” confides Joe. “When you’re on tour, you miss mom’s home cooking. At least on the bus, she can make the perfect bowl of cereal.”

After the incredible success of their first album, music’s new mini-moguls, the Jonas Brothers are set to take over in 2008. Though the brothers normally develop songs only for themselves, they wrote eleven songs for their costar in the upcoming June 2008 Disney series Camp Rock, Demi Lovato – an experience the boys won’t soon forget. “ They’re from a girl’s perspective,” says Kevin. “ I don’t think we’ll ever understand girls better but it’s a helpful step forward.” August marks the release of a new album, A little Bit Longer, with influences as gown-up as Johnny Cash, Prince, and Elvis Costello. Their reality show, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream, premiered on the Disney Channel in May, and a scripted spy sitcom J.O.N.A.S. (Junior Operatives Networking As Spies), is in the works. “We’re huge James Bond fans,” says Joe. “We think Daniel Craig is the man.”
