After the success of their TV movie Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers are now prepping for their own Disney Channel original series.

“It’s going to be about us as a band but dealing with normal things like trying to take out the trash and not get hounded by fans,” Joe Jonas tells ELLEgirl magazine about the as-yet untitled series. “It’s going to be a funny show, and it’s going to be a great cast.”

The show – originally about the boy band living a double life as spies – has recently undergone a conceptual change. The trio, who just released their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer, told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS-FM radio show that the series will now be more like HBO’s Flight of the Conchords.

Production is on hold until the boys finish their tour, but “we start filming mid-September,” said Joe, 19. “The writers are working on it as we speak, so we should be seeing scripts any day. I’m really excited.”

Biking with Brothers
It’s more than just the show that is waiting for Joe at home in L.A. The middle Jonas, who recently received a motorcycle with a sidecar as a birthday gift, can’t wait to get back and start taking his brothers for a ride.

“The sidecar’s in Los Angeles,” he said. “When we start filming our television show, we will be setting up the sidecar.”

As for their Video Music Award nomination for video of the year, “[This] is huge for us,” said Kevin, 20. “We can’t believe it.”

The VMAs, airing Sunday on MTV, pit the Jonases against Britney Spears, Chris Brown, the Ting Tings and Pussycat Dolls.

Lily Allen has taken to her MySpace blog to talk about the fuss between her and Elton John at the GQ Men of the Year Awards on September 2nd. She says that the two of them were joking and there are no hard feelings. She’s also not apologizing for her drunkeness.

Check it out:

Hi

Hi , now it’s all died down i’m saying my side of what I can’t believe is considered to be a story.
Elton john and I are friends. I was honoured when Elton asked me to present the GQ awards with him this year in association with Elton’s AIDS foundation. Not only was it for a good cause but who would say no to Elton.
I’m not defending my drunkeness because i don’t need to, i’m 23 it was an awards ceremony i drank the free champagne, how awful of me.
Trying to create a feud on the other hand, and trying to make me out as being some rude little girl with a drink problem is just unfair, Elton and I exchanged jokes and there were no hard feelings at all, infact neither of us gave it a second thought. It’s sad that an evening enjoyed by all had to ruined by some bitter journos again.
Alfie and Jamie had never been engaged, Jamie and I are the best of friends and I was just winding Alfie up , he’s my little brother and that’s what siblings do. Jamie wasn’t pissed off with me, if she was i would have known about it, believe me.
This isn’t meant to be a place for me to respond to journalists, but I am very grateful I have this page, if i didn’t then i would have absolutely no voice when it comes to this stuff.
All these showbiz journalists are just bullies when it comes down to it. I have felt really very bullied this week.I realise that when i first started this job I slagged a few people off when I probably shouldn’t have and I have been opinionated about some things, but i haven’t said a bad word about anyone for a long time, even when I have wanted to, even when people have tried to start feuds and said horrible things about me when they’d never even met me, when they’d based an opinion on me because of something they’d read. It’s hurtful, but it’s fine if you want to print a picture of me and say how awful I look, how much weight i’ve put on or how terrible my choice of clothes were that day. In my opinion it’s still a form of bullying and if anyone spoke to any of my friends like that to their faces i’d want to kill them. But character assasination is another thing it’s just not needed.

I turned up and presented an awards ceremony for charity, i drank some champagne and went home for 12.30 and again I’ve been made to feel like a bad friend and an embarassment to my fans and the people who support me. I shouldn’t have to defend myself when i’ve done nothing wrong.
And by the way, to all the photographers waiting outside my house. I won’t be leaving for a while, all my friends have gone to Bestival and i’ve got enough food and fags to last me till wednesday, so you might as well f**k off and find somebody else to make miserable.

And there you have it!

Champion cyclist, cancer fundraiser, father of three, and alpha bachelor Lance Armstrong is on the cover of the October Men’s Journal and profiled in a lengthy piece by Vanessa Grigoriadis. After pages rehashing his history and detailing hanging out with Armstrong on LiveStrong Day as he jets around the country, the author finally gets to sex and dating. Armstrong last three girlfriends have publicly been Kate Hudson, Tory Burch and Sheryl Crow, to whom he was engaged. The article is not yet online, but Huffington Post typed in this excerpt:

These days he’s unapologetic about his reputation in the tabloids as a p***y hound, linked to designer and socialite Tory Burch, Ashley Olsen (whom he denies dating), and, until recently, Kate Hudson. “I’m a 36-year-old single guy who is completely open and honest with every woman in my life,” says Armstrong. “As long as you’re honest, and no one’s getting played or let down, then you’re being fair.”

Armstrong doesn’t go on a lot of real dates. “I think it’s hard for me, or for anyone in my position, to call someone up and say, ‘Hey, can I take you on a date?’” he says. “It’s never like that. I meet people casually, while hanging out with friends, so there’s less pressure.” Sex is something he enjoys, because he didn’t get much of it on the Tour. “I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi,” says Armstrong. “But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone, and a lower libido.” He grins. “But you know, I never got any complaints.”

Armstrong retreats from questions about Hudson, whom he dated for a few months. “I made a mistake to let the public into my relationship with Sheryl, even though it didn’t feel like a mistake at the time,” he says. “It put a lot of pressure on the relationship, and I will never do it again.” Some public outings can’t be avoided, though. “When Tory had a show, I would go to the show; when Sheryl had a concert, I’d go to the concert; and if - uh - a new lady has a premiere, I might go to the premiere. I’m there as a supportive partner, that’s my role. But sitting down and doing a bunch of photos, like I did with Sheryl, is just wrong, and I won’t do that again.”

It is hard to miss that most of these women are somewhat similar: down-to-earth blond lasses with Cheshire cat grins and small waistlines. Does he have a type?

“Everyone says that!” says Armstrong, moodily. “Everyone says I have a type! Of course I have a type. But doesn’t everyone have a type? So shut up!”

Um, isn’t that type a little like your mom?

“Now, hold on a minute there, ” he says, laughing. “That’s just gross.”

Later, at his Texas mansion, he shows the reporter his bedroom and bathroom, which has an infinity bathtub:

A painting hangs over a stainless-steel bathtub in his bathroom. “Girls love that tub,” he says, “They’re always splashing around in it, and I’ve gotta be like, ‘Hey, quit splashing the art!” (It’s not immediately apparent if “girls” means his daughters or his lady friends.)

Less than a day after it was announced that Britney Spears would be making an appearance — but not performing — at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, it was confirmed that another singing superstar mom, Christina Aguilera, would both be showing up to the 25th annual ceremony and singing live.

“I’m very excited,” said Christina about the news, which was announced at a press conference at Paramount Studios in L.A. Refering to her 8-month-old son Max Liron, Xtina said, “This will be his first time watching me perform on television, but only for a little while because he’s not really allowed to watch television yet. I’ll make an exception for the VMAs.”

British comedian Russell Brand, who was on hand for the announcement, joked, “That kid is going to grow up with a hell of an Oedipus complex!”

In 2003, Christina and Britney made the list of most memorable VMA moments when they joined Madonna for a three-way, all-girl smooch after the Material Girl’s show-opening performance of a medley of her hits.

Also confirmed for Sunday’s ceremony:

• T.I. will perform with Rihanna.

• The Jonas Brothers (who Brand labeled “God’s favorite virgins”) will perform and have asked to be introduced by Taylor Swift — a request that Brand joked was “made from below their sexy little waists.”

• Katy Perry will perform Madonna’s pop classic “Like a Virgin.”

• Pete Wentz will somehow be involved with the beginning of the show, “probably with his wife, who is pregnant” said Brand.

• Kanye West will close the show with a performance.

Yesterday, reps for chic L.A. baby boutique Petit Tresor were confirming reports that Jamie Lynn Spears, who shocked the world last December with the exclusive news of her pregnancy, had reached out to Bristol Palin, the pregnant 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, by sending Bristol a care package of embroidered burp cloths from the store.

However, it looks like all may not be what it seems.

“It is not true,” a rep for the new mom tells OK! about the rumor that Jamie Lynn, who gave birth to baby girl Maddie Briann on June 19, had her mom Lynne Spears use her credit card to send the gift basket to Bristol along with a card that read, “Dear Bristol: Hang in there!!!!XOXO”

Lindsay Lohan has turned down a reported $700,000 offer to pose nude for Playboy magazine.

The Mean Girls star was recently rumored to be considering a topless spread in the saucy magazine’s forthcoming 55th anniversary issue. But now a representative for the star has confirmed that Lohan will definitely not be appearing in the publication.

The spokesperson tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, “If there’s nudity, then the answer’s no… She’s not going down the magazine road again.”

Earlier this year, Lohan stripped off for a provocative shoot with New York Magazine - posing semi-naked in a tribute to Marilyn Monroe’s final photoshoot.
