Bosses at Disney are reportedly fuming over recent romance rumors which have dogged pop sensations The Jonas Brothers.

The trio are renowned for wearing purity rings to symbolize their no-sex-before-marriage rule. But their morals have recently come under public scrutiny, following a raft of allegations about their love lives.

Teen heartthrob Joe, 18, was rumored to have been dating The Hills actress Lauren Conrad and country singer Taylor Swift, and there has been speculation over 15-year-old Nick’s relationship with Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and reality star Kim Kardashian.

Disney bosses are said to be furious over the stories and fear they could be hit with a crisis comparable to Cyrus’ recent provocative photoshoot with Vanity Fair magazine – which provoked a storm of controversy.

An unnamed senior Disney executive tells British newspaper Daily Star Sunday, “There is a constant stream of photos, gossip and sexual innuendo about the Jonas Brothers that just isn’t in keeping with their – or our – image. We need to figure out how to play it all down before it explodes in our faces like it did with Miley.”

It was complete mayhem for the Jonas Brothers’ purple carpet arrival! Over 1,000 screaming teenage girls showed up to catch a glimpse of the teenage heartthrobs at the London premiere for their Disney film ‘Camp Rock.’

A sea of girls, many still in their school uniforms, burst into tears, screamed the brother’s names and even collapsed with emotion.

The Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick, are there promoting their new film of which they both starred in and provided the soundtrack for. ‘Camp Rock’’s story centers around a group of high school students who go to music camp for summer break.

Back home in the states, the film’s soundtrack made it to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with $188,000 copies sold in its first week.

The backstage lists, obtained by In Touch Weekly, also reveal Rihanna likes to chill out with Trish McEvoy blueberry candles, Buffalo wings and roasted chicken, spiced with jerk seasoning before shows, and Kid Rock requires Chap Stick, white crew socks and low fat raspberry yoghurts.

According to the publications, the four acts’ demands were met.

The Jonas Brothers insist they haven’t taken offense at comments made by Russell Brand during the MTV Video Music Awards.

The comedian took a pop at the band over the purity rings they wear which symbolize their virginity.

Band member Nick Jonas told Newsbeat: “For us it’s cool to see that he recognises we are gentleman.”

Brand later apologised to the boys for the jibe during Sunday’s ceremony which was held in Los Angeles.

The question is, did Brand misjudge the audience?

Kevin Jonas replied: “I think he focussed on certain things and didn’t move off of them. People’s attention spans in America need more than that.”

Kevin didn’t seem to think it had spoilt their evening either, especially as the band had a lot of support.

He said: “We had a lot of friends there and everybody’s so nice. We had a good time.”

During Brand’s opening innuendo-filled monologue he took aim at Madonna and US President George Bush, calling him “a retarded cowboy fellow”.

Nick Jonas also backed Brand’s comedy style. He said: “I think he did a good job. We saw him on Conan O’Brien and thought he was hilarious.”

The band performed a rendition of their song Lovebug at the ceremony, with a rockier twist towards the end.

The brothers popped into Radio 1 this morning for an interview on Scott Mills’ show ahead of the premiere for their Disney film Camp Rock on Wednesday.

Paris Hilton has come out in defence of The Jonas Brothers – after British funnyman Russell Brand ridiculed their sexual morals.

The three siblings wear purity rings as a commitment to remain virgins until marriage, and their abstinence became the focus of Brand’s jokes at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

Brand was subsequently forced to apologize for his remarks, following criticism from singer Jordin Sparks – who also puts purity before sex.

And now Hilton has become the latest celebrity to speak out on behalf of the pop trio – insisting she totally supports the brothers’ decision not to have sex before marriage.

She tells Usweekly.com, “Don’t pick on them. That’s (their virginity) something cool for a kid to keep, so don’t pick on them for that. I think that they’re all really good kids and that they’re definitely our next generation of kids and they’re all really good so I think that’s awesome.”

Russell Brand was forced to apologize for poking fun at the Jonas Brothers’ morals during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards – after a public dressing down from singer Jordin Sparks.

The British comedian mocked the pop sensations mercilessly for more than half the show for their no-sex-before-marriage promise and the purity rings they wear.

At one point, he even pretended he’d stolen a Jonas brothers’ virginity as he held a ring in his hand.

Sparks, who is among the teen stars putting purity before sex, admonished Brand for his remarks, stating, “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut.”

Minutes later, a crestfallen Brand apologised, saying, “I’ve gotta say sorry because I said those things about promise rings; that was bad of me. I didn’t mean to take it lightly.”

Brand added, “I love Jonas Brothers, I think it’s (purity) really good. I don’t want to piss off teenage fans… Promise rings, I’m well up for it, well done everyone.”

But he couldn’t resist a final jab, adding, “It’s just, a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody.”

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.
