The Jonas Brothers taking after the Beatles?
The Jonas hotties are becoming the next Beatles or Monkees? Slightly impossible in my eyes, but according to Yahoo! news, the three teen idols are starring in a Disney Channel series inspired by the Beatles' movies and the American made-for-TV group the Monkees. The JoBros will appear as themselves in the comedy series Jonas, premiering on Disney in May. The brothers play members of a popular band trying to live normal lives at a regular school despite the shrieking throng of young fans that worship their every move (sounds a little Hannah Montana-ish, so fans of Miley are sure to like this new show). There is a plus to this show, however! We get to see the most adorable Jonas of all, little brother Frankie, 8. The "bonus Jonas" plays the trio's little brother in the series.
Anyway, I guess the success of Camp Rock spurred the brothers' urge to star in their own show. The TV movie was one of Disney's most successful, debuting with over 100 million viewers worldwide. However, even though the JoBros were given the best new artist award, a prize that the Beatles won in 1964, I still can't picture them being as successful and adored as the Beatles. Sure the Jonas Brothers have tons of little girls throwing themselves at the trio's feet; the Beatles just have something more. But, who knows? Only time will tell.
