• Hunky Joe Jonas on gay rumors: "The gay community is something that is close to my heart, so I don't mind. Hey, if they wanna think I'm gay, it's fun."
• Just in time for the holiday! For the low, low price of $149 you too can adorn your Christmas tree with this collectible Donald Trump "Make America Great Again" red hat ornament. Who spends $149 on a piece of crap Christmas tree ornament? Oh - people who vote for idiots.
Not sure what happened, but it looks like a disagreement over this past weekend resulted in the Jonas Brothers tour (slated to start this coming Friday) has been cancelled.
Spokesman Jesse Derris confirmed a report by People magazine that there was a "deep rift" in the group, and a "big disagreement over their music direction."
According to the magazine, a weekend argument among brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas resulted in the tour's cancellation.
The tour was scheduled to begin Friday. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Jonas Brothers website was still advertising the 19 concerts and still allowed visitors to click through to buy tickets.
Ticket holders should instead seek a refund wherever they bought their tickets, Derris told TODAY.
The Jonas Brothers won the breakthrough artist honor at the 2008 American Music Awards. In 2008 and 2009, they starred in their own Disney Channel original series.

Out Magazine has released pics and a "behind the scenes" video from the recent photo shoot with the Jonas Brothers.
In the accompanying Q&A the brothers address taking time off, gay rumors and how much "twerking" is enough...
• On taking time off to focus on solo projects:
Kevin: For seven years, it was nonstop. We had moments where we got frustrated with one another and we really just needed time alone. You can imagine what it’s like for a band to be together all the time, but imagine if they’re family, too. Taking that break was so nice because we worked our asses off, but we did things for ourselves. Then, we came back at the right time to do this all over again.
• Addressing the constant rumors of "boy banders" being gay:
Joe: We have a lot of gay friends and gay fans. It’s a boy band stereotype; people assume, but we don’t take offense.
Nick: Prior to us being a band, I was a super theater geek. I loved theater and I still do, and I care about fashion, and I care about a lot of things that I feel like stereotypes are attached to.
Joe: [Being in Out] is a moment for us for sure. We keep saying, “Well, it’s about time.”
• On whether twerking has reached a saturation point:
Joe: I’m great [with twerking]. I’m with it.
Nick: I’m against it. I’ve just reached my limit. It’s just done. It’s too much.
Joe: Bring it on. I’m a fan. I just think it’s appropriate for the right people. Not everyone can twerk.
Nick: Anybody that’s on Diplo’s page — have you seen his Instagram? It’s impressive.
Kevin: I’m straight down the middle. The right amount at the right time.
In light of his brother's recent shirtless self-pic, Joe Jonas decided to Instagram to a shirtless selfie, too.
However, while Nick's pic shows that that a healthy diabetic lifestyle can achieve some really fantastic results, Joe Jonas' Instagram costar wins in my book.
