Speaking of Joe Jonas, we bumped into him on March 13 at the Trump Soho Hotel in New York City where he was greeted by a throng of female fans. The 21-year-old heartthrob was in town to attend the “Ocean Grove” band concert on March 11. His brother Kevin and wife Danielle also attended. Nick arrived from Nashville to attend the sixth annual “Carnival for a Cure” at the Metropolitan Pavilion in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. On March 20, they will be performing for the “Concert for Hope” at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City with Allstar Weekend. Selena Gomez & The Scene will headline the show. The artists will perform to give hope to millions of people with cancer.
Selena Gomez, who is currently dating Justin Bieber, will most likely include her brand-new single, “Who Says,” at the concert. The 18-year-old has been receiving hundreds of hate tweets from Justin Bieber fans. Bieber is currently in England on tour, and was spotted modeling his new hair cut. If you’re a follower of Selena’s tweets, you know that she just finished shooting her music video for “Who Says,” which was shot in Los Angeles.
Allstar Weekend became famous a few years ago when they were outside of a Jonas Bros. concert passing out postcards of their band and signing autographs. At that time, no one knew who they were until the Disney channel promoted one of their singles. They have opened up for the Jonas Bros. on several concert tours.
Rose’s Scoop: The Trump Soho Hotel in Manhattan the weekend of March 13, welcomed not only Joe Jonas but also John Stamos, Ryan Seacrest and Jessica Alba. The penthouse suite caters the last three levels to celebrities and ranges over $6,000 a night.
