Post-Jonas Brothers Band, Joe Jonas is opening up to Vulture and he’s more candid and open than ever before. It’s actually hard to imagine that he was ever thought of as being a squeaky-clean, purity-ring wearing Disney star!
Joe admitted to smoking weed with other Disney alums Demi Lovato and the infamous Miley Cyrus when he was in his late teens. Of the experience Joe is quoted as saying:
The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley. I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, ‘Try it! Try it!’ so I gave it a shot, and it was all right,” he says. “I don’t even smoke weed that often anymore. I was caught drinking when I was 16 or 17, and I thought the world was going to collapse. But I was in another country, and it was legal there. My 21st birthday, I fell down a flight of stairs. I was unconscious that time, and my whole team was scared to death that somebody was going to get a picture. Now I appreciate wine or a vodka-soda at the end of the day every once in a while.
I can imagine him smoking weed with Miley. Miley’s no stranger to smoking weed as she proved at this year’s European Music Awards (EMA’s). But I must admit I was shocked to hear about Lovato smoking weed with Joe. However, if you recall, Joe dated Lovato for a brief period in their teen years right when she began to struggle with bi-polar disorder, an eating disorder, and substance abuse right before landing a stint in rehab. Joe also opened up about this experience when he stated:
I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with, like drug abuse,” he writes. “I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time I was living a lie, because I wasn’t happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her, because she needed help. I couldn’t express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect.
In addition to opening up about his past drug use, Joe also got candid about his sex life, confessing to losing his virginity to Ashley Greene four years ago when he was 20, despite previously wearing a purity ring and promising to save himself until marriage. Joe described the experience by stating to Vulture:
I lost my virginity when I was 20. I did other stuff before then, but I was sexually active at 20,” Jonas explains in his Vulture post. “I’m glad I waited for the right person, because you look back and you go, ‘That girl was batshit crazy. I’m glad I didn’t go there.
Although this confession goes against his previous promise to himself, it sounds as if it was an experience he did not regret. He dated Ashley Green from 2010-2011 before calling it quits due to the difficulties posed by the long distance.
Joe’s candid interview comes just weeks after The Jonas Brothers announced their breakup due to irreconcilable differences and the band’s inability to agree on which musical direction to go in. It sounds like Joe and the rest of the band’s change and break from their “squeaky clean” image was going on for far longer than most suspected. They tried to hide their true identities to protect their young fan and their Disney image, but now after splitting up they are free to be their own selves.
What do you think of Joe Jonas’s candid interview? Are you surprised by his confessions?

Is or isn’t the Nsync reunion taking place at this Sunday’s MTV VMA’s?
Joey Fatone is siding with Lance Bass by saying that the MTV VMA reunion IS NOT happening! However, his recent arrival in NYC, home of MTV’S VMA’s days before the big event seems kind of suspicious!

When questioned about his arrival in NYC, Fatone claimed it was for his cousin’s surprise 40th Birthday party in Staten Island because clearly that is a much bigger deal than reuniting at the VMA’s. LOL!
Fatone was also asked about whether or not he would be at the VMA’S on Sunday night. His response was:
Why the hell would I attend? I mean, for Justin obviously, he’s getting the Vanguard Award, which is cool. We heard about that, and that’s when the rumors started flying about doing all this stuff. Why the hell would I attend? I mean, for Justin obviously, he’s getting the Vanguard Award, which is cool. We heard about that, and that’s when the rumors started flying about doing all this stuff. As far as I know. I haven’t gotten a phone call or anything. Just like his wedding. I didn’t get the phone call or the invite.
Ha his response sounds a bit bitter about not being invited to Justin’s wedding. However, it also sounds like he’s trying a bit too hard to keep the VMA reunion a secret. You might remember last year when Destiny’s Child was rumored to perform at the Super Bowl Michelle Williams tried to deny the rumors by stating that she was appearing in the musical Fela! the night of the super bowl and wouldn’t be able to make it. However, that was later proven to be a lie as Destiny’s Child did, in fact, reunite for the Super Bowl.

If we hear of other Nsync members (other than Justin of course) arriving in NYC we’ll known the reunion is on!

I believe that Lovato will be a great addition to Glee. Not only does she have the singing and acting experience necessary to succeed, but she has overcome many difficult obstacles in her own life from her struggle with cutting addiction, bulimia, and suicidal thoughts. Over the past few years as Lovato has sought treatment and health for her issues she has also managed to bring awareness to these issues and act as a mental health advocate which could play a valuable on Glee.

It is also interesting the Adam Lambert is said to be connected to Lovato’s new character on the show. Could this be a possible new romance for Glee? With Lambert’s eccentric personality that’s bound to shine through his character and Lovato’s strength, acceptance, and loving personality, these two could make an interesting duo!
