Nick Jonas relaxes near his family home with a little bit of baseball in the street on Sunday morning (January 31) in Toluca Lake, Calif.
The 17-year-old musician, who presented Lady Antebellum at the 2010 Grammy Awards yesterday night, recently caught up with Vanity Fair mag. Nick shared about being the object of jokes with some comedians, “I think it’s the kind of thing you have to let roll off your shoulders. It’s understandable, I guess. They need material.”

Kevin Jonas And Selena Gomez On Haiti: ‘Every Little Bit Matters’
‘It’s so empowering to see how many people are coming together to help,’ Gomez says of ‘Hope for Haiti Now’ telethon.
By Amy WilkinsonMore than 130 actors, musicians and athletes came together Friday (January 22) for MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief.” The star-studded telethon included performances by Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean and featured a celebrity panel of phone operators to answer donors’ calls. Among them were young stars Selena Gomez and Kevin Jonas, who spoke with MTV News about volunteering for the event.
Gomez, the star of “Wizards of Waverly Place” and a UNICEF ambassador, has been urging fans to donate since the 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Port-au- Prince last week. When Gomez was asked to participate in the telethon, there was no way she could say no.
“I thought that it was very important to be here tonight, because I feel like we are very fortunate, and I’ve lived a blessed life,” Gomez said in the minutes following the broadcast. “Being able to help and give back as much as I can is a good feeling in general, but what happened to the people in Haiti is absolutely devastating. It’s so empowering to see how many people are coming together to help. And I’m just here. I’m just one of those people wanting to get the word out and help the people of Haiti.”
Jonas, who manned a phone alongside brothers and bandmates Joe and Nick, stressed the importance of young people doing whatever they could to contribute.
“Every little bit matters,” Jonas said. “It’s not one person doing a huge amount; it’s every person doing every little thing they can.”
One of Jonas’ favorite parts of the evening was getting to connect with donors all across the U.S.
“Answering phones and being able to talk to people all around the country has been an amazing opportunity,” he said. “When we can get together as a group of people that may have a wider reach than just a couple of people, it works really well. It’s an honor to be in the room.”
Learn more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti, and for more information, see Think MTV. Visit HopeForHaitiNow.org or call (877) 99-HAITI to make a donation now.
iTunes customers can exclusively pre-order the “Hope for Haiti Now” full-performance album ($7.99) and the full two-hour video telecast ($1.99). Pre-orders will be delivered in the days following the telethon. Individual audio performances will also be available for purchase and download for 99 cents each in the days following the telethon. Apple, the record labels and the artists will donate their share of the proceeds to Haiti relief funds managed by “Hope for Haiti Now” charities, including the Red Cross and Wyclef’s Yele Haiti foundation. Performances will also be available for purchase in the days following the event through Amazon’s MP3 service and Rhapsody, through distribution provided by INgrooves.

Indy: So you just wrote and recorded a new song on the road?
NJ: Yeah! We just finished up in the studio a little while ago. It’s a new song called “Stay,” and we recorded it on our day off. The song is about falling for someone, about those feelings, so it’s great when you have a good inspiration to write something.
Indy: Who are you dating this week? I can’t keep track.
NJ: Oh? Well, I think I’d prefer it to stay that way, maybe.
Indy: Fair enough. So your nickname in the Jonas Brothers is actually “The President”?
NJ: Yeah. And it’s kinda funny, ’cause it’s actually longer than my real name. It was a nickname given to me because I was always very serious. So it just stuck, and now it’s kinda played a part in my adventures with this new side project [Nick Jonas & the Administration, whose debut album comes out next month] and become an inspiration for the name of the band.
Indy: The Administration [who worked with Prince] seem to be helping you explore classic R&B.
NJ: I think so. And the guys in the band will definitely mention [soul artists'] names that I’ve never heard about before, so I’ll check it out online and get inspired from that.
Indy: Even though you’re serious, I’m betting you watched that Jonas Brothers South Park episode and at least chuckled.
NJ: I can honestly say that I didn’t watch it. I don’t know that people would say that they’d actually watch 30 minutes of someone poking fun at ‘em — that’s not the best way to build up your self-confidence. But I think it is a compliment, in a bit of a strange way. And there are things I’ve seen in the past that use us as a punch line that I think are hilarious. But in that one particular case, I decided not to watch.
At Denver’s Paramount Theatre, Jan. 23 and 24.

Joe Jonas Plans Haiti Trip, Stars Offer Support At Critics’ Choice Awards
‘Everyone needs to get involved in whatever way they can,’ Emily Blunt says of earthquake-relief effort.
By Larry Carroll, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
At Friday’s (January 15) Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, there was plenty to talk about, from the red-carpet fashions to the night’s big winners to the rare tie that had two Best Actress recipients. Appropriately, however, no topic was more important than discussion of the recent tragedy in Haiti — and what Hollywood’s biggest stars are doing to help.“I think I might go, to do some relief work,” revealed Joe Jonas, telling us on the red carpet that the events of the past few days have touched him deeply. “I’m going to try; I’m going to try to get there.”
On Tuesday, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake — the area’s most severe in over 200 years — devastated the country. With its epicenter near Haitian capital Port-au-Prince, widespread damage has been reported, and the death toll could reach as high as 100,000 people.
“I’m going to be doing the thing that George [Clooney] is organizing; the telethon,” explained Emily Blunt, another star throwing her support behind the fundraising program that the “Ocean’s” series star is putting together for January 22. “But I think, really, it’s just about everyone — everyone — needs to jump in. Everyone needs to get involved in whatever way they can. So, I think I’m just going to research the best way to help.”
Other celebs discussing their efforts to help Haiti at Friday’s awards show included Kevin Bacon and Sandra Bullock. Joe Jonas, however, said that simply contributing a check wasn’t enough for him.
“[I can get there] either this Tuesday or, like, two or three weeks from now. I can’t promise I’m going to go, but I’m going to try,” he insisted. “I really want to be able to support in any way I can; I was going to go to Haiti before, to do similar work there. But now it’s obviously a completely different thing and my heart goes out to those people there and the families and everything.”
With sincerity in his voice, Joe sent out a special message to the troubled area of the world and its residents. “I just pray that everybody’s all right, and I’m going to try and do my best by getting there,” he said. “And I would definitely say, if anyone can give money or support, it’s the perfect way to do it.”

Help Haiti
As you have already heard, the earthquake victims of Haiti need our help.We just want our fans to know that we have made a contribution to our friends at Convoy of Hope through our charity, Change for the Children Foundation. Convoy of Hope has a warehouse just outside Port-Au-Prince that was fully stocked with food, water and purification devices prior to the earthquake but those supplies will only last so long and need to be replenished as soon as possible.
Any support to Convoy of Hope will provide the necessary supplies the people of Haiti need to survive but also give them hope in knowing that the rest of the world is joining in the effort to repair and rebuild not just the country but their lives.
Even the smallest contribution will go a long way.
You can donate any amount through Convoy of Hope: http://www.convoyofhope.org/
We love you!
JB
Kevin, Joe and Nick
