New JoBros PSA!

The Jonas Brothers are experimenting with a new kind of musical harmony this holiday season... but instead of using their voices, they're using bells!

That's because the JoBros have recently teamed up with The Salvation Army to create this brand-new PSA about how you can help give needy families a meaningful Christmas this year.

Here's what they have to say: We all know one of the typical scenes during Christmas-time (besides the tree and presents of course) is seeing that good ol' red kettle on the street with someone ringing a bell asking for donations. Now the Jonas Brothers are asking you to be a part of one of the most longstanding charity traditions by volunteering to ring that bell yourself!

Ever since 1891, people have been giving their time to ring the bell and support the red kettle which provides for the poverty-stricken. Today, The Salvation Army provides for more than four-and-a-half million people during the holiday season. Donations provide Christmas dinners, clothing, and toys to needy families, seniors and the homeless to keep the holiday spirit alive.

So what do you say? Will you join the JoBros and help ring bells this Christmas? If so, here's how you can get started!!

Caution! Jonas Brothers tearjerker!

Today is World Diabetes Day. If there's one celebrity who has been front and center for raising awareness about diabetes, it is Nick Jonas himself. Nick wrote the song, "A Little Bit Longer," about his experience struggling with the disease, and ultimately staying on top of it. He's been known to break down and cry while performing this song live, so don't say we didn't warn you! The song is beautiful!

And if that's not enough, Nick has recorded a PSA for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. He says that he's one of three million Americans who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. "If you have a diabetes, you're not alone," Nick says. Check out the inspiring video below.

If Nick has motivated you to help out, find out what you can do to raise awareness about diabetes.

We're 'green' with envy: Laura Bush hangs with Jonas Brothers!?

First Lady Laura Bush, wearing a savvy business suit, strolling in Texas amid patches of grass and twigs: normal.

First Lady Laura Bush strolling in Texas with the holy trinity, Jonas Brothers Joe, Nick and Kevin: sooooo not normal!

But it really happened, folks!

This fab foursome promoted the First Bloom conservation program by helping students to make seed balls from compost, clay, native grass seeds and water (talk about hands-on!) with the 150 young people who gathered at Dallas's Trinity River Audubon Center.

Mrs. Bush and the siblings Jonas also went on a hike in the Great Trinity Forest and learned to identify native plants and about the restoration of the area's native grass. The goal: to help the mostly city kids connect with Mother Nature and develop a deep commitment to conservation.

Gotta love those Bros -- they're constantly "doing something" to make a positive difference!

Nick Jonas gets choked up at Carousel of Hope Ball

Celebrities showed up en masse this past Saturday for the 30th Anniversary of the Carousel of Hope Ball, which benefits the Barbara Davis Center for childhood diabetes.

Denzel Washington, Nicole Richie, Suzanne Somers, Teri Seymour, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Daisy Fuentes all walked the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to support the charity. Once inside, guests were treated to a special performance by the Jonas Brothers, with Nick Jonas singing "A Little Bit Longer."

Nick wrote the song about his personal experiences since being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes three years ago.

"On the day that I got diagnosed, I heard about this event," said Nick who mentioned fighting back tears as he performed the song on piano. "And I knew it was something that I wanted to be a part of. To be here tonight to perform is a dream come true for us and for me, it's truly an honor."

Be sure to also brush up on some background info on diabetes as well.

Ain't no limits to the Jonas Brothers

via AOL Music

As many JoBros fans may know, Nick Jonas was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2005. One of the main things Nick was concerned about after his diagnosis was if he would still be able to make music; and from the day he was dealt the bad news, he told himself that he wasn't going to let this disease slow him down. And the good thing is, it’s not.

The trio’s foundation, Change for the Children, supports 5 different charities that were selected by the Jonas Brothers themselves. All the charities are targeted towards children and helping them achieve their dreams, but one of the main focuses is supporting children who have diabetes.

This section of their foundation, called D-Vision, is dedicated to funding for diabetes research and support. Nick, who is naturally very dedicated and passionate about this part of the foundation, says he loves sharing his story with other people who also have the disease and aims to help them get through it like he did.

The five charities that the boys selected to support are NothingButNets.net, American Diabetes Association, St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Summer Stars. Not only are the Jonas Brothers hoping that we will personally contribute to their causes, but they have agreed to match the first $10,000 being donated to each charity.

These boys sure do prove that nothing can keep them down!

Exclusive: Jonas Brothers on the Teen Choice Red Carpet

Yes, we met the Jonas Brothers on the Teen Choice red carpet. They even shook our hands. Then we sold our hands on EBay to some girl from Fresno for $15,000. Not really, but we probably could have.

Joe, Kevin and Nick talked to us about how family and supporting each other has driven them to give back and "Do Something." Everyone knows how much work Nick does around Diabetes awareness, but he also told us he's passionate about poverty issues affecting children - makes sense considering they played homeless kids like 4 times on Broadway. They even did a Teens For Jeans PSA for DS about the issue, if you want to check out some vintage Jonas.

"Rev Kev" was nearby the whole time but tragically the Bonus Jonas was nowhere to be seen. I guess our lives aren't complete after all...

How much do you love the sunglasses, btw?

Rocking out Jonas Style

via washingtonpost.com

You'd think that the fame, glory, money, girls, success and more would have gone to the Jonas Brothers' heads. These young sexy things have conquered so much already, but no, they've still got their heads on straight. What is wrong with these guys??? They're unreal, almost too good to be true.

Why you ask? The trio just recently rocked out at the Mudd and Z-100 "A Little Bit Longer" special in New York, a private show for fans of the brothers that suffer from cancer.

And what’s next for the brothers? A concert with fellow celebsgonegood Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato! The September 14th show in California will benefit City of Hope, a cancer research organization.

Miley is no stranger to the foundation. Last year, Disney donated $1 from every ticket that was sold during her "Best of Both Worlds" concert tour towards the organization. She successfully raised more than $1 million for the cause. Now it looks as though the Jonas Brothers and Demi are out to follow in the pop princess’s shoes.

Will this years concert be up to par with Cyrus's knockout night last year? Stay tuned to CGG for updates after the concert!
