Joe Jonas is now officially a high school graduate. One-third of the pop sensation, the Jonas Brothers, wasn’t able to go to a conventional school due to his work schedule so he was tutored on the road. The singer was presented with a cap, gown and diploma at the Jonas Brothers concert in Atlanta, Georgia last week to commemorate the occasion. 20-year old Kevin and 18-year old Joe are now free to live the rock star life but 15-year old Nick still has to do some homework. Oh well, he’s got a lot of years to party ahead of him.

Talk about bringing trashy to another level. Wannabe country singer Jessica Simpson is a Texas girl through and through even if Dallas Cowboys fan would disagree. In addition to hawking Proactiv and hair extensions, having her own line of shoes and handbags, the blonde is also going to be a beer model. Jess has signed on as a spokeswoman for Stampede Light Plus. The beer bills itself as a beer for active people. Jess will appear in ads in stores for the beer and is taking a 15% stake in the brewer. She said in a statement that as a businesswoman she’s “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.”

While the tennis stars are working hard on the court in Beijing Olympics 2008, the No 6 female tennis player and the darling of many hearts, Maria Sharapova is busy in promoting the new Canon PowerShot Diamond Collection of cameras.
Despite her shoulder injury, which stopped her to participate in Olympics, she actively contributed in the show.
At least one thing has become clear that the diamonds are really a girl’s best friend. They have forced a star to pose with her shoulder injury still recovering or was it the money involved in the shoot?
Canon is giving away five diamond-studded PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH cameras on their website as a part of the promotion. Each one is encrusted with 88 white diamonds around its crust. These are valued at $12,000 each.
On the occasion, Sharapova expressed her passion for photography to the audience, saying that she is always the “dork” who takes pictures of everything.

Nick Jonas of the pop rock group the Jonas Brothers was looking dapper in a top hat as he rode a horse and carriage while filming a segment for the group’s 3D concert movie in New York City’s Columbus Circle last week. Things weren’t going as dapper for The Washington Post’s pop music critic J. Freedom du Lac as he was flamed by emails from readers who got angry at his characterization of Kevin saying “Nick Jonas (15; the cute one), Joe Jonas (nearly 19; the hot one) and Kevin Jonas (20; the other one).” He also adds that Kevin “has the misfortune — or, perhaps, the great fortune — of being in a band with two guys who tend to overshadow him.”

I have some sad news to tell for the fans of the Latin pop band RBD (Rebelde). The groups has just announced that they are retiring. The band has only been together for four years but they have already decided to call it quits and will be saying their goodbye in an upcoming farewell world tour. The news was confirmed by a statement from the band on their official site. According to them, all great bands must change and go through some transformations. Is that another way of saying that we’ll see them again in one form or the other? As of now, their final tour will be heading to Serbia, Slovenia, Venezuela, Argentina, Romania, Brazil, Peru, Los Angeles and Mexico.

Demi Lovato’s album cover for her debut album ‘Don’t Forget’ has been released. I like it. She’s giving us the sass that teenage girls have and the guitar is a big reminder that she’s actually talented and can play her own instruments (she can play piano and guitar). I like this CD cover better than Miley Cyrus’ cover for ‘Breakout’. Miley just looks like she’s trying too hard. One thing I can say about Demi’s cover though is that it looks a lot like No Doubt’s album cover for ‘Rocksteady’. But who says she can’t take any inspiration from them? Demi’s album will be out next month.

In a very futile attempt in saving the music industry and making the world a better place to live in, Heidi Montag has decided to release another single (GASP!)
US weekly reports:
“To coincide with tonight’s season 4 premiere of The Hills, Heidi Montag has released a new single.”
“‘Overdosin’” is about “when you fall in love with someone… and [you’re] just overdosing off of their love,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM morning show.
Stop. Pause. Try not to hurt yourself! Doesn’t she remember what happened to her first single? Didn’t it bomb? Didn’t it fail, BIGTIME?
To give her benefit of the doubt, I decided (more like forced myself) to listen to a few lines of her new song. Now I regret listening to it as the line “I can’t get enough of you” is in overdrive in my head.
All in all, the only way Heidi is going to sell records is by putting her title into action.

Peaches Geldof got married because she was depressed, her sister claimed last night.

Model Pixie, 17, said their family are still scarred from the overdose death of mum Paula Yates in 2000.
She said of Peaches: “She’s got problems just like all of us have about what happened to my mum. I’ve been in therapy not long ago and she has had a hard time. That’s why she has done drugs and why this wedding happened too. We’re all depressed in our family.”

Wild child Peaches, 19, wed US rocker Max Drummey, 23, in Las Vegas two weeks ago. She later flew to Majorca to join furious dad Sir Bob and Pixie on holiday.

Peaches has had angry showdowns with the Live Aid hero and has not yet left the $8million luxury villa.

But a pal of Peaches, who recently collapsed from a drugs overdose, insisted she IS in love.

The friend said: “She insists it’s not a sham. The flash point will be when Bob meets Max for the first time this week.”
