Snoop: Not So High on Miley, JoBros & Twilight

Once upon a time, Snoop Dogg told us he'd like to hit the studio with Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers.
Sadly, he's singing a different tune these days.
When we caught up with the rapper in April, he told us that he'd like to "make some gangsta pop music" with the Disney sensations.
But when we ran into him last night at the launch of Adidas Originals by David Beckham and James Bond in L.A., he quickly backtracked...
Kevin Jonas Revolts, Sneaks Into Toronto Premiere
It's not all work and no play for Kevin Jonas as he and his famous brothers shoot the sequel to Camp Rock up in Canada.
The oldest JoBro was able to slip away from the set for a bit to hit the Toronto Film Festival.
Keep reading to find out where he went and what he did…
Miley, Demi, Selena & the JoBros Are the World
No need to pinch yourselves, tweeners. You're not dreaming.
Disney has gathered its brightest stars, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers for a "We Are the World"-like music video for Friends for Change: Project Green. "Send It On" is meant to unite the kiddies in green living and protecting planet Earth.
That's probably why they ditch the big stage and energy-sucking bright lights for the great outdoors. At first, we were really distracted by the oh-so-convenient intimate pairing of Miley and Nick Jonas. And then we were bugged by Joe Jonas wearing yet another pink shirt and impressed with Selena out-adorabling the lot of them. But we guess there was some sort of charitable point.
Somehow, though, the whole thing seems far less poignant than Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and tons of other major stars teaming up for humanitarian aid in Africa. Maybe that's because it had nothing to do with powerful mice.

Teen Scene: Twilight, Britney and...President Obama?
Twilight fans, rejoice!
Robert Pattinson & Co. have some of the best seats in the house at this weekend's Teen Choice Awards.
But before we get into who is sitting where and with whom, I wanna fill ya in on some other goodies I just got for you during my exclusive sneak peek of what's in store for the annual surfboard awards show.
Here we go…
Reports of Britney Spears performing during Sunday's taping of the show (it airs on Monday on Fox) have been greatly exaggerated.
Britney will be there, though. She's not only a multiple-nominee, but she's receiving the Ultimate Choice Award.
"But," says Bob Bain, executive producer of the show, "if at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon she calls and says, 'I've changed my mind,' we will figure it out and make it happen."
So, what's up with Twilight? Plus, did the Jonas Brothers, who make their debut as hosts of the show, snag President Obama to take part? Keep reading to find out...
The Jonas Brothers Are Total Fairy-Tale Creatures
Nothing really beats a good costume gag…or three.
The Jonas Brothers apparently have found the ultimate cure for on-the-road ennui: wear a silly costume.
Perhaps we should have seen this coming when Joe did that ridiculous Beyoncé video, but we still got a chuckle when we clicked onto the photo they tweeted and saw Kevin, Joe and another band member dressed as the Three Little Pigs. (Question: Does that make Miley Cyrus the Big Bad Wolf?)
(Nick, however, is absent from the photo. Why such a party pooper, bud?)
It wasn't Kev and Joe's first goofball moments of the tour, either.
This weekend, Joe was spotted looking like he'd just arrived from a DeLorean. Monday, he showed his true, juicy colors as a bunch of grapes.
And big brother Kevin got in on the action—or, got some action, as the case may be—when he posed as a baseball player who grabs his fiancé's behind! Best costume yet!
So, again, we have to ask, where's Nick's suit?
________
Yeah, Nick! Why so serious? Oh yeah. This.

Kevin Jonas in No Rush to Lose His, Uh, Purity Ring
Fan girls, be warned: Get engaged to a Jonas Brother and they may spend more time honing their Neil Diamond impression and getting name-checked in Emmy acknowledgments than putting the finishing starting touches on your big day.
Such is the case with Kevin Jonas, who after two whole weeks of betrothed bliss has yet to set a date for his wedding to Danielle Deleasa (some white knight he turned out to be).
"We're kind of taking each day at a time," Deleasa's aunt, Christina Longo, told E! News. "The family's busy, and with touring and all..."
With touring and all, the Jonas Brothers are scheduled to remain on the road through November, meaning the young couple is unlikely to tie the knot at least until Christmas.
Maybe some kind words from his future in-laws will help tide him over?
"He's just a wonderful guy and we love him," Longo said.
Now there's a sentiment worth waiting for.

Week in Review: Jackson Mania, a JoBro Proposal, Kendra's Wedding and a Farrah Farewell
Remember when all the news was Twilight-related? Alas, not so much these days.
Another week dominated by Michael Jackson headlines is behind us. But as the King of Pop's family scrambled to make funeral and tribute arrangements and as authorities continue to probe the prescription-med situation, some rays of lighthearted news started to show through the cracks. Here's how it went down on E! Online...
1. Considering the bizarre life he led, it's no surprise that MJ's death is turning out to be pretty weird, too. From dad Joe promoting his own record label to Jackson's baby mama (the real one) turning up to throw a wrench into the artist's will-stipulated wishes, we're sensing that the circus has only just begun. At least it looks as if the King of Pop himself will be resting in peace soon enough, and rehearsal video shows him looking happy in his final days.
2. On the potentially criminal side of things, the DEA is collaborating with the LAPD's investigation into Jackson's death, and there are supposedly plenty of doctors and other peeps ripe for the interviewin'.
3. On the complete flip side of the news spectrum, Kevin Jonas is engaged! The 21-year-old Jonas Brother presented his girlfriend of two years, Danielle Deleasa, with a rock he helped design on Wednesday. But dry your eyes, Mrs. Jonas hopefuls—there are still two brothers where he came from!
4. Kendra Wilkinson and NFL stud Hank Baskett tied the knot at the Playboy Mansion, with Hef, Bridget and Holly in attendance. Then it was off to St. Lucia for the honeymoon, where they hoped to get lots of good nudity in before their first child arrives this Christmas.
5. Friends and family gathered for Farrah Fawcett's private funeral at an L.A. cathedral Tuesday. Ryan O'Neal and son Redmond served as pallbearers and read Bible passages, while best friend Alana Stewart delivered a eulogy. Just watching the procession on a wee video screen brought tears to our eyes.
Kevin Jonas' Engagement = JoBros Jokes on Twitter
Yesterday, tweens everywhere lost a Jonas Brother (at least it was only Kevin), and Twitter did what Twitter does—addressed the breaking news with plenty of exclamation marks.
Naturally, the obligatory "congrats!!!" came from the boys' peers Miley, Demi Lovato and Jordin Sparks. So it was up to the more seasoned Twitterers to address this weighty situation properly.
Nia Vardalos tweeted one for the older ladies: "Kevin Jonas is engaged. I am one pissed off cougar."
And Diablo Cody celebrated the event with a zing: "Kevin Jonas is engaged! Next: Nick Jonas gets engaged way better." Hey-o!
In other news, people are tiring of the constant Michael Jackson coverage, especially after Bubbles the Chimp was interviewed on CNN last night. But at least John Mayer has jokes to deal with it: "There is so much news coverage on Michael Jackson, last night Anderson Cooper interviewed the tiger from the "Thriller" album cover."
Even MC Hammer had to express his irritation with the situation: "OK now CNN is back where I like them.. NEWS !!! Miss you Bud ! I said Bud...not Bubbles!!!"
And finally, everyone needs to take like two minutes out of their day and tweet Lindsay Lohan a "Happy Birthday." The poor birthday girl was missing a special someone right before she officially turned 23 at midnight, and then Zoe Kravitz had to beg the Twitterverse to send Linds birthday wishes. So do it! Lindsay needs our attention/help!
Or if you don't want to give Lindsay your Twitter attention, give it to us @eonline.
One Jonas Brother Off the Market: Kevin's Engaged!
There are only two Jonas Brothers left.
For girls to fantasize about marrying one day, that is!
Kevin Jonas, 21, has proposed to his girlfriend of two years, Danielle Deleasa, E! News confirmed Wednesday.
Deleasa, 22, met Kevin—the JoBro who has managed to have a private life—in May 2007 while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas.
"Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage," parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. said in a statement. "Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date."
A rep for Kevin confirmed that he showed up at Deleasa's New Jersey home this morning with a ring he codesigned with Jacob & Co., and popped the question at her doorstep.
Rise 'n' Shine: New Jonas Brothers Video Takes Flight
• The new Jonas Brothers video for "Fly With Me" has landed on the Internet and features some stellar choreography. Joe may not be reprising his "Single Ladies" moves, but that stuff he does with the hat? Spectacular.
• Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson might be back together again. Given all the house calls, were they ever really apart?
• Even after starring in The Hangover, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha don't have very effective morning-after cures for a long night of drinking.
• Looks like we won't be seeing Hugh Laurie on Broadway anytime soon, unless Elton John develops House: The Musical. Hey, it could happen!
• Susan Boyle is back in Scotland with her cat, Pebbles. Of course she has a cat named Pebbles.
• The bromance between Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott has taken a major turn for the worse, but picturing Amy Adams and Emily Blunt palling around makes us feel much better about it.
• Dear Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams: You crazy newlyweds actually put together a pretty neat duet. Nice work. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
If only Reese Witherspoon had lent Bret Michaels that helmet she's wearing in Big Pic, the Tonys afterparties would have been much more eventful.

Update
Fangirls, Riot Police Out in Full Force for JoBros' Taylor-Swiftless Gig
The memo on waning Jonas Brothers mania apparently has yet to reach Lima, Peru.
Riot police were called to the city's oceanfront Marriott Hotel Sunday when more than 1,000 hormonal fans took to the streets to form a tearful, shrieking and otherwise order-be-damned welcome wagon for the brothers Jonas.
"There are thousands of fans outside the hotel," Kevin, Nick and Joe wrote on their website. "The police were called in to control the crowd...Can't wait to meet everyone!"
The feeling was apparently mutual.
"We just woke up to the sounds of fans screaming downstairs outside of our hotel," the siblings added this morning. "What a great way to start off our new world tour!"
Jonas Brothers Ready to Get "Paranoid," Channel Johnny Depp
Given the bomb that was the Jonas Brothers' 3-D movie, it's understandable that the Disney dudes get a little nervous before they drop their new album.
"Paranoid," the first single from Lines, Vines and Trying Times, lands on airwaves on May 8 and kicks off what is sure to be an exhaustive campaign and concert tour leading up to the album's June 16 drop date.
The promo tour has already launched with the boys gracing the cover of the latest issue of Seventeen magazine. And no matter how they're feeling about their latest venture—anxious, excited, whatevs—they aren't afraid to share their lofty goals.
For example, in addition to making music, 19-year-old Joe Jonas wants to be one of the most sought-after actors as well as pen one of the best-selling books in history.
"I think Johnny Depp's work is really great—he always incorporates music into what he does," he says when asked to list his acting role model. "[I also want to] write a book one day, because I love to read. The Alchemist [by Paulo Coelho] is my favorite book of all time."
Even if Kevin, Nick and Joe are uncertain of what's ahead, their label thinks the album just might change the world or something, calling it "an incredible music journey" and "a veritable smorgasbord of pop and rock gems."
With promises like that, the next single will probably be called "Insomnia."
