Joe Jonas has surprised his The Next co-stars with how famous he is.

The Jonas Brothers singer will star with Nelly, Gloria Estefan and country star John Rich in the reality TV show which will see them mentor rising stars of the music scene and Nelly admitted he had no idea how famous the Jonas Brothers were. "Joe Jonas, obviously I didn't know what I was embarking on with this kid here. He got little girls staying out two or three days in advance trying to get tickets to the show for this dude," Nelly told MTV News.

Nelly also revealed he is thrilled to be working with Gloria Estefan because he had no idea she would be so "cool." He added, "The thing about Gloria is she's cool, yo. I didn't know that she would really be that cool considering - not considering anything, you never wanna assume, but you just never know because you're hanging with people now on a daily basis and attitudes show eventually, but there hasn't been any."

Another Death Affects ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Family

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,

Another week, another unfortunate story for the participants of Dancing With The Stars. 

Early this morning, Marie Osmond’s 90-year-old father, George, passed away.  Just last night, Donny Osmond was on Entertainment Tonight talking about a large family reunion scheduled for later this week.  Members of the 125-member clan were being flown into Chicago for a special appearance on Oprah.  Friday’s episode is now currently up in the air (as is Marie’s attendance on tonight’s DWTS results show).

This news comes one month after Jane Seymour’s mother died in England.  Marie Osmond often commented that she and Jane had bonded over this tragedy; Marie lost her own mother, Olive, just three years ago.

Of course, bad news has not been limited to the dancers on the show—several DWTS performers have experienced family emergencies as well.  Gloria Estefan cancelled her performance last month after her mother suffered an intestinal rupture.  The following week, Jennifer Lopez was forced to adjust her taping schedule when her grandmother passed away.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, News, Rumors,

According to E! Online, another Dancing With The Stars performer has had to make a last minute schedule change.  Jennifer Lopez, who was to pretape a performance on Tuesday, had to step up her plans due to a ‘family emergency’.  Instead of forcing the producers to find new talent, Lopez apparently recorded her song tonight.

This would be the second Tuesday in a row the DTWS results show had a singer deal with a family issue.  Gloria Estefan canceled her performance last week because her mother suffered an intestinal rupture.  Two weeks before that, Jane Seymour was absent due to the death of her mother.  No further details were given regarding Jennifer Lopez’s situation.
