As you're obviously aware, Honor Society just departed on their epic cross-country tour with the Jonas Brothers, and their Full Moon Crazy Tour within a tour... tour. And because Buzzworthy and Honor Society are thisclose, the guys are gonna be sending tour diaries, photos, hopefully even TWEETS from the road all summer long. Here's Honor Society's first dispatch from the road! Read on, won't you?

Last week, we officially kicked off the Summer with an amazing show at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium! It was truly an incredible experience to play in front of 50,000 fans... it's something we'll never forget.

We got to Cowboys Stadium early in the day and moved into our first tour bus! Last summer, we were touring in Alex's mom's minivan, so the bus is a HUGE upgrade. It's our home for the summer and we're pumped to hit the road.

We spent most of the day rehearsing and mentally preparing for the concert. Just before the show, Alex was jumping rope in the dressing room, while the rest of us were running through vocal warm-ups. At 6:45, we gathered just off stage, where Nick, Joe and Kevin gave us some amazing advice and words of encouragement. It was such a powerful moment...it was time to take the stage, we felt great...so energized...we were ready to rock!!

It is so hard to put into words how it felt to perform in a brand new stadium for so many awesome fans. We played "Over You," "Full Moon Crazy," "Nobody Has to Know," and "See You in the Dark." At the end of the show, we came back on stage for our final bows with the Jonas Brothers, Jordin Sparks, and Big Rob, and celebrated our first summer show.

At the end of the night, we boarded our bus, climbed into our bunks and hit the road. We just arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma and can't wait to meet some cool new friends in a city we have never been to.

We'll be doing a lot more of these blogs as the summer continues, so stay glued to the Buzzworthy Blog for more updates, pictures, and videos... We want you to be a part of this. We want to see all of YOU on the road this summer!

Just unearthed this EXTREMELY old MTV News video interview with the Jonas Brothers. From the looks of Joe's hair, this looks to be of a 2006/ "Mandy," It's About Time/ (Columbia Records = SUCKAHS!)-era Jonas vintage. It also appears as though they're chilling at an H&M.

One of the weirdest things about the interview is that Nick's smiling (!) and laughing (!!) and playing with a random scarf the whole time. The guys also each enumerate the things they're looking for in lady friends. (Joe was into blondes, which was sorta true...)

Watch and be amazed by the mini Jonases who, today, could never in a zillion years just hang out in a regular store. And check out my review of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience!

PS: You definitely know these super old-school Jonas Brothers photos from 2006, but did you know that they were shot exclusively for/ at MTV? Photographer Brian Appio shot the Jonas Brothers back when the guys could still walk the streets freely and could barely get the attention of any music execs anywhere. Brian said the JBs came in just with their dad! Cut to three years (and major security patrol, including Big Rob and the Commish!) later, and he also shot these amazing photos of the guys at the Jonas Brothers Experience MTV special the other week.

So I was washing my hands in the bathroom right after a private screening of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, (side note: I just DO NOT understand why people don't wash their hands after peeing. There is NOTHING grosser, and I feel like if I see you skip the sink after the stall, then I'm well within my rights to judge you. [Side note to the side note, I once saw Duffy in the women's bathroom here on the 17th floor, and she absolutely, positively washed her hands. Now, I liked her a lot to begin with, but having that hygienic  confirmation only made me like her more.]) and I was thinking how in their 3D glasses, everyone kinda looked like Robert Pattinson.

And THAT'S when it hit me: Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was better than Twilight the movie.

Sure, comparing Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience to Twilight is sorta apples to oranges, but considering the hot dude(s) factor, the fanatical following, and the insane anticipation and build-up to both, (plus, both involve magic!) it becomes McIntoshes to Macouns. (Oooh! There's also Twilight's whole apple-as-symbol-of-forbidden-fruit theme! I'M A GENIUS!)

But back to Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, also known as JB3D. I absolutely never wanted the movie to end, and I had pouty sad face when it did. Twilight, on the other hand, couldn't have ended fast enough. (Don't get me wrong, I loved the books, but the movie was a total letdown.)

Coming from someone who spent two days on tour with the Jonas Brothers (and some of the movie footage was filmed then! I was standing right outside when they came out of the Highline Ballroom, for instance), I can honestly assure you that Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience will be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest Jonas experience of your Jonas journey -- possibly even better than seeing them live because you get a front-row seat, and you get to experience the show from the perspective of the Jonas Brothers. If the movie was made for fans who didn't get a chance to see the Jonas Brothers live, then seriously, not even a spot smack in front of the stage can top the view that Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience provides.

I don't want to give too much more away because really, you should go into the movie with a clean slate, and ultimately it doesn't really matter what I think, AND you're going to love it no matter what. But I will share a few more observations...

STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ANY JONAS SPOILERS!

Okay, so remember how last Friday I was running around the 65th floor of a SECRET New York location where the Jonas Brothers were filming something for MTV involving their movie and TONS of popcorn? Well, that PLACE was the famed Rainbow Room (I can tell you now, and you can go there, but alas, no Jonases! Wah!), and that SOMETHING was The Jonas Brothers Experience, which airs Monday, February 23 at 6pm ET on MTV (uh, duh). You'll have to tune in (duh again) to see which set of Jonas Brothers BFFs won the best prize in the history of prizes (triple duhr!) -- a trip to the Hollywood premiere of Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience. (Faints x3, once for Kevin, once for Nick, and once for Joe.)

Check out my Twitter recap (I cut and pasted the highlights below!), and exclusive photos from the event. And, oh yeah, I totally talked to the guys backstage! They completely remembered me from the two days I spent with them shooting "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile" this past awesome August, and they unsolicitedly hugged me, and I got all dorky nervous (hence my dorky nervous smile in the photo below). I wanted to be like "Hey what's up?" But, like what are they gonna say "Oh, you know. We were on the Grammys. Saturday Night Live. Major motion picture. Soundtrack. World tour coming up. Not much otherwise. You?" Me: "I got some new sneakers the other day and I cleaned the toilet and rented House Bunny." No. I'd die of mortification! So I mumbled something about how amazing their Grammys performance was and Stevie Wonder and blah blah and then it was time for them to start the show. So, here's what happened in Twitterville and in photos!

+ At the mtv jonas shoot high above the city. The view's gorgeous, and the room is FULL of popcorn. Popcorn everywhere. All over the floor!

+ The BFFs are HERE!!!!!!!... And dancing to SOS. (Jonases will be here soon!) Popcorn is being swept off the carpet.

+ Just met most if not all of the jonas fans here in the audience! Everyone's wearing such cute stuff- homemade JB tees, glasses, etc.

+ Things these jonas fans just told me they've done for JB: missed thanksgiving, skipped school, showed up today with pneumonia! (Gah!)

+ The MTV JB fans are doing what they do best (beside <3 JB) - screaming! (Also overheard a staten island vs jersey debate. Ooh fight??)

+ Watching audience rehearsals on monitors in prod office. It's gonna look like when JBs did TRL but even better bc it's more JB. MoarJBpls!

+ Actually, with all the neon outfits & aviators, this feels a little like JoBros meets dance crew, only with truckloads of popcorn and OJD.

+ The audience is freaking out over "my life would suck without you" & "single ladies." Have JB been replaced? (J[B

+ OMJ popcorn EVUreeeewhere! Bff groups are holding hands praying to win. SOS for reals!

+ Ack security guy just went downstairs on a kamikaze mission to retreive JB!! Eeeeee!!!

+ Still hurrying up and waiting for jonases... Maybe they got mobbed downstairs... Or they're adjusting their ties

+ Gah! They're here! I'm backstage w the jbs!

+ Wait where's big rob?

+ Awww Mama Denise is here. Would it be weird if asked her for hair advice? BTW, I think the JBs are eating lunch. Looks like sandwiches.

+ Gah! Joe's got on awesome black boots w 2 buckles. Kevin just popped out of the dressing room and asked for Michelle - their stylist.

+ Kevin's wearing a black leather jacket and drinking Sprite out of an old-school glass bottle. We're still backstage BTW

+ Gah! The JBs remembered me from the summer, We Hugged and i died! I congratulated joe and nick on their grammy performance. I die!

+ Eeee! JB just got prepped by show producers and the audience is singing burnin up. now it's almost on like donkey kong!

+ I hope the post-production wizards work their magic because the show just started and it's all just screaming. And tears. Real human tears.

+ Someone just yelled out to no one in particular Nick, would you get married at 16?" Maybe thatll be the next MTV Jonas special: Marry Nick!

+ The bff contestants standing like four inches from joe j are keeping their cool impressively. Could be shock tho.

+ Nick called the contestants beautiful. FREAKING OOOOUUUUTTTT

+ Omj. This one girl sorta ambushed Joe w a from-behind hug. Security!!! Don't think that I didn't see that, Ambush Amber or whoever you are!

+ Break from shooting for a second. Btw we're on the 65th fl were just told the 9th fl could feel the shaking & thought there was an rthqke

+ Nick looks a little like a young Elvis. Discuss. Oh nevermind! They're back and everyones singing pushing me away!!!!

+ I wonder how many times a day the jonases hear "I love you. it's like every day's valentine's day. Kevin just complimented the bffs' outfits

+ The shirtless scene has just been mentioned and the audience reaction has left me permanently deaf, I think. THANKS GUYS!

+ Omj. Someone just did the olde-tymey sailor catcall whistle at the Jonases. People still do that???? Who let my grampy in?

+ JBs are sitting up front in a panel. Everyone chanted kevin followed by we love jonas. It's like jonas wars up in here! Capture the flag!

+ Still a quick break while the producers run thru the next segment w JBs. No sign of the kevin touched me girl unforch.

+ We're back! Oooooh! Wooh! SOS segment - it's prolly not what you think.

+ ZOMJ! Prize just revealed. Audience members just started crying.

+ Omg if my bestie was up there and blew the big jonas question, I'd wait til she fell asleep and then cut off her hair with safety scrissors.

+ Uh, someone just yelled out "buns of steel.l CONTROL YOURSELVES ladies! That is NO way to talk to a Jonas! My WORD!!! I do declare!

+ Things the audience loves: nick's hat, kevin's hair, joe's boots, someone's "buns," everyone else's everything.

+ OMJ! This question is Mission IMPOSS!!!

+ Of course Joe's joking around with the audience. New king of Komedy!

+ Will joe get out of here without doing the "single ladies" dance? Audience requests abound!

+ I think Nick's hand is maybe attached to a magic signal that triggers audience screaming each time it waves.

+ Oooh final two groups are about to battle! Gonna be a blood bath! (Note to MTV standards - not literally.)

+ Eeees! Jonasroke! I would KILL this! Esp the big rob rap! Woah these girls dressed like dance crew are destroying! My money's on them!

+ Kevin: impressed by the first team's call-and-response technique. Let's see if next girls have joe's mick jagger swagger. Thatd be my trick

+ Just noticed: one of the BFF groups in the audience is sorta dressed like 80s aerobics instructors. Noice!

+ OMG it's so obvz who's gonna win.

+ Haaa kevin's making price is right jokes! Also, is this team gettin a lil 2 saxxy for JB? SOS!!!!!!!

+ Omj. It's so obvz who should win!!!!!!!!! This feels a little like Idol, minus an incoherent paula!

+ Yay! "My team" won!!! They're hugging the jbs! Kevin just suggested a Jonas Bros talk show. I'd tune in to that.

+ K it's over & I'm out! JBs were just whisked away! Wah! Bye guys! Watch the show Monday, Feb 23 at 6pm ET! Plus I'll post sweet pix asap!

+ Watch some special sneak-peek video previews of the show, and pre-game with an old-school collection of Jonas Brothers MTV photos!

+ The unlikely pairing of Lil Wayne and Fall Out Boy on his latest album "Rebirth" (Oof.  All I hearz is Patrick Stump yodeling) makes me wonder if L Dub will "Phone Home" some BBerry pix of his netherbits.   (Rap-Up)

+ She's like the wind: Some cute pics of Lady GaGa bein' an easy breezy girl doin' easy breezy things with her friends (no "disco stick riding" here).  Amaaaazing what a blonde Janice-from-the-Muppets wig, a French-cut unitard, and a celebrity blogger will do for your career. (PerezHilton)

+ OOF! Estelle! Girl better WERQUE that football jersey. (Go Fug Yourself)

+ Buxom "Barbed Wire" babe Pam Anderson came a two-steppin' down the runway to close out Richie Rich's Wednesday night fashion show (flanked by Roller Rich himself). Kind of annoys me that his muse (and my personal thinspiration) Amanda LePore got the shaft quicker than you can say hep-A. (E! Online)

+ Ok. How great is it that Felicia "Fe" Culotta and Britney Spears have been reunited again, seen here tooling around town in a Mini (when did Brit get that??).  Oh, how i have MISSED Fe's lil Southryn lisp and high school bangs.  Welcome back, lady.  P.S. JoBros gots to be PISSED, yo. No??  Who will keep Big Rob company??? (Pink is the New Blog)

+ Our favorite little strawberry muffintop Clay Aiken apparently got the boot from his record label, RCA.  Personally I don't mind his voice (however Contempo-Christian it may sound), but he'll get no sympathy from me until I see next steps from sexpot Katharine McPhee. Yes.  I still have McPheever. DEALWITHIT. (Jaded Insider)

My friendies over at MTV Movies just posted five clips from the Jonas Brothers' new 3-D movie. (You're like "BlahblahblahSHOWMETHEJONAS!").

Check out a clip of Jonas Brothers fans doing what they do best when they're not worshiping Nick, Kevin, and Joe -- CHASING AFTER NICK, KEVIN, AND JOE!

I love the girl in the car who gets her photo taken with Nick... And speaking of Jonas fans/Jonas Sisters, did you see my EXHAUSTING Twitter coverage of all of the Jonas fans and the JoBros themselves this past Friday at the taping of their MTV special?

And after the jump, watch the guys -- AND BIG ROB! -- explain how much they loved making the movie for their fans. (I know. It's SICK how sweet they are!)

+ Plus: Watch more Jonas movie clips: "Pushing Me Away" | "S.O.S." | "Burnin' Up"

+ Just in time for Valentine's Day! Maybe scuzzy paparazzo Adnan Ghalib will be sending Britney Spears a crappy drugstore sampler of chocolates after all, since... you know... they still "share something really special." Like a restraining order. (Evil Beet)

+ The Jonas Brothers' right-hand lady (besides Mama Denise) is jumping ship! Their assistant, Felicia Culotta, who started off as Britney's assistant, is leaving Camp Jonas to rejoin Camp Britney. Big Rob, don't you go leaving the Jonases too! (E! Online)

+ Makeup mogul 50 Cent is taking this whole Foxy Brown feud a leeeetle too seriously, no? (Towel Road)

+ Miley Cyrus <3s all Asians, and she told you she's very sorry if certain photos gave certain impressions that she doesn't like Asians, and to show you much she loves Asians, she went and ate sushi. (Celebuzz)

+ John Mayer has a special birthday pressie for Jennifer Aniston, who turns 40 today: a song he wrote just for her. We really hope JM doesn't make his "stank face" when he sings it to her. (Celebuzz)

+ BREAKING: you will never be able to get tickets to anything ever again. Live Nation and Ticketmaster have merged. (Idolator)

+ Despite the fact that we are more than happy to accept all donations of cash, clothing, or other luxury goods (leave deets in the comments, plz), American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has received absolutely nada -- especially from judge Simon Cowell, thank you very much. (Perez Hilton)

PLEASE tell me you watched the Kids' Inaugural: We Are the Future show tonight. If you didn't, we're not even friends anymore. You did? Okay. Friendship BACK ON!

Okay, so, a few thoughts, courtesy of Buzzworthy:

+ Indeed, Miley Cyrus' dress was NOT her best look. Not the worst, but not the best. My Cy looks great in everything, but that granny gown/ Very Barbie Christmas dress was WAY too formal and WAY too old for her. Like Nancy Reagan-too old. Inaugural thematic t-shirt, peace sign necklace, and black skinny jeans for "Fly On The Wall" = Ahhhh. Much better.

+ HOW is Jamie Foxx STILL hyping Ray??? You KNOW those kids are like "WHERE ARE THE JONAS BROTHERS already?" (Or at least I was...) And please... leave the beatboxing to... nevermind. It's even annoying when Justin Timberlake does it.

+ Demi Lovato performs live and DESTROYS it! Which is when I realize that if, for some bizarre reason, I had to choose, I think I'd rather be Demi than Miley: Demi plays guitar and piano, performs in higher heels, likes metal, and has a much better relationship with the Jonas Brothers, who produced her debut album, Don't Forget. (But you knew that.)

+ Woah! Jill Biden goes by "Nana" too! Does Spencer Pratt know this?

+ I, like much of America, fell in love with Michelle Obama when she spoke at the DNC back in August, but watching her address an auditorium full of kids makes me realize all over again that I kinda want her to be my mommy.

+ Lucy Liu = Seriously? ZzzzzZZzzz. That's great that she's doing stuff with UNICEF, but the only thing she really ever did for me was show up in Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part 1."

+ Corbin Bleu = Dude, you sound like Usher, yet you dress like Michael Jackson. And I'm sorry, but I just can't get behind that hair. I mean, well, literally, I probably could get behind that hair and you wouldn't even see me. But, you brought kids up there with you, so I'll have to retract my claws a little, because everybody loves kids.

+ Bow Wow's back. Again. But what does "Marco Polo" have to do with Obama? And "Thank You" is like eight years old! Though I JUST now realized that Bow Wow samples The Cars' "I'm Not the One" on that track.

+ One of the best parts of the entire event: Usher taks the stage and a camera pans to a little girl who literally fell to her knees, threw her hands above her head, and about fainted over Ush's very presence.

+ OMJ! The Jonas Brothers are backstage! And they're saying SOMETHING about some kinds of ways to get involved! Only you can't really hear what they're saying because (of course), the roar is DEAFENING! Finally, the JBs take the stage, and IT'S ON! Nick had his green guitar and was all asmiley-smiles during "S.O.S." (I have to say, Kevin's leather jacket -- wasn't feeling it. Leather jackets are best left to David Archuleta.) Anyway, every human being in the entire Verizon Center seemed to know the words to "Lovebug," and the Jonases took that one to church real quick but also let the audience be the stars of the performance. Meanwhile the Obama girls shot the Jonases on their Flipcam and digi. So tech-savvy, those two. Next, the Jonas Brothers performed "Tonight," (also their brand-new video -- yay!!!). "Burnin' Up" was the fourth and final song, and Big Rob was in a tux! (Note: um, is anyone else worried Big Rob's getting even bigger? I know it's kind of a job requirement, but eep. I'm a little concerned.) So then Joe Jonas pull off a total Jonas-Obama-Biden jammy jam when he pulls the First Girls on stage. And basically, I make like the Usher girl (or the "Kevin Touched Me!" girl) at the very sight of the three cutest boys and the cutest girls together on the same stage ushering in a new era. YES THEY DID!

'Kay. It's late! I have to get up early, and so do the Obama girls! Big day tomorrow, and all! So get Obama’s Inauguration Day schedule, and don’t miss all of MTV’s historical coverage of “Be the Change: Live From the Inaugural."

The beginning of 2009 is already crazy hectic for the Jonas Brothers: they're presenting at the Golden Globes, this Sunday, their new video, "Tonight," comes out January 19, they're hard at work on their new show, J.O.N.A.S., Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience premieres February 27, and somehow they're gonna have to find time to make it to the Grammys on Sunday, February 8, because they could be bringing home an award for Best New Artist.

The Jonas Brothers told People Mag that they're super nervous about the big night and almost didn't make it to the nominee ceremony on time. AND SO, I propose three tactics to insure that the JBs have their bums in their seats with plenty of time to spare on Grammy night!

1.) Send the Jonas Brothers alarm clocks set to go off February 8. You probably have an old one in a junk drawer. Or "borrow" one from your parents. Tell 'em it's for a good cause. (Because it is!) I'm sure they won't mind. Or, pool your pennies and get a Cubissimo. After I accidentally plugged a North American alarm clock into a socket in Paris, causing the alarm clock to melt (whoopsers!), I bought one red. It's lasted for years, and TRUST ME, Nick, Kevin, and Joe (and anyone else within a five-mile radius) will WAKE THE HECK UP when it goes off. The sound still haunts me.

2.) Synchronicity! The Jonas Brothers clear their schedule that day, and Big Rob and/or Mama Denise set all of your alarm clocks throughout the house to make sure the guys get plenty up rest and wake up on time.

3.) WAKE! UP! The JBs re-watch this footage of themselves groggily waking up in New York this past August during "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile" (eee! I was in the room!) and start practicing WAKING UP!

Appropriately, Hilary Duff, "Wake Up"

JoBromance Magazine (not to be confused with the LOLs-a-lot book Brocabulary, which could've been based soley on Doug and Brody alone on this week's episode of The Hills, though I digress) -- a superbly crafted free online fanzine devoted to the Jonas Brothers -- wrote an amazing article on "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile," this summer's MTV Jonastravaganza, in which I followed the Jonas Brothers (and Kevin Sr. and Denise, and Frankie Jonas, and Big Rob, and even Demi Lovato, plus a zillion screaming fans) around New York for two days.

Check out the article (just click le pic below) for more insider info on what it was really like to spend two straight days talking to the Jonas Brothers, hanging out on their tourbus, chasing them on their Segways, eating their food (thanks, guys!), waking them up in the morning, and invading their dressing room.

Then download the entire Fall 2008 issue. Also, extra <3s to editor Kimberly Carrera for putting together this most excellent JB fanzine and to the rest of the Jonas Brothers fans who contribute to the online mag. Seriously, I've seen less-professional for-pay publications on newsstands, but I guess that's my fault for paging through Cat Fancy.
