Nick Jonas signs a piggy bank. Aww!

It looks like Nick Jonas actually knows the secret on "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying": You have to save your money to make it rich, guys!

The youngest Jonas Brother took a break from being a Broadway star to attend the "Kids Night On Broadway" 2012 Fan Kick-Off Fest. And per every single time we've ever seen him public, bro was looking perfectly dapper while he was photographed autographing piggy banks for fans. That's the other secret to making it: Just be a super nice guy.

While we appreciate Nick taking the time to educate modern kids on the old adage "A penny saved is a penny earned," we're pretty much banking on the fact that half those whippersnappers took that autographed memorabilia straight to eBay to cash in on that Jonas Brother fame. 'Cause y'all know that's how you really succeed without even trying -- celebrity online auctions.

They should do a remake of that movie "I Don't Know How She Does It" but center it around Nick Jonas and his tireless quest to constantly look perfectly presentable at all times. Still can't get over the fact that this dude's 19 years old. The guys I was dating when I was that age were pretty much still in diapers. (No offense to those of you who might be reading this -- everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.)

Nick had on his Sunday best when he showed up to the Wednesday performance of his new gig as the lead in Broadway's "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." Nick made his debut performance the previous night to stellar reviews, and once again, we remain unsurprised. If you were to tell us Nick Jonas spends his free time making stem cell discoveries and/or perfecting his croque madame recipe, we wouldn't even bat an eyelash. So... marry me?

If it seems like getting your weekly Nick Jonas fix is hard to come by lately (we feel your pain!), it's for good reason: The youngest Jonas Brother's taken a break from his rock star status to offer that boy-next-door charm to Broadway's musical comedy "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" as the lead role of J. Pierpont Finch. Judging by Nick's own successful career at the RIPE AGE OF 19, we pretty much think he has this gig in the bag.

A behind-the-scenes video shows the crooner preparing for a photo shoot playing his new part -- a quirky, bow tie-obsessed, suit-wearing business tycoon. Nick chats about the character's style and how honored he is to have the gigantic opportunity. We even hear flattering compliments about Nick (duh!) from his adorable costar Rose Hemingway. But most noticeably: How in the EFF is Nick Jonas so poised at 19?! We've heard of old souls, but he's seriously more mature than most 30-year-old men I know. But that's a different post...

Nick takes over the role full-time on Jan. 24, which hopefully means his fellow Jo bros will be making an appearance on opening night. You know that old saying we just made up: Bros before shows!

I hate sweating profusely in the middle of summer, but I also hate having to layer 80 bazillion long-sleeve shirts to combat this 20-degree nonsense we're currently dealing with! Can't it be forever fall? (Just this gal's opinion!)

As is the trend around wintertime, over the years some of our favorite celebs have bounced to hotter climates for a quick vacay. Like our favorite bros Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas -- they enjoyed a shirtless beach day in Hawaii in 2011 while other celebs fled to the South of France and Miami. To see a plethora of more (nearly) naked celebrity bodies, sun, sand and luxe resorts you probably can't afford, peep BUZZWORTHY'S POP STARS ON VACATION PHOTO GALLERY!

As you can see, Rihanna's vacay was drama-free. She looks well-rested and fully relaxed as she chills on a boat in the South of France. Ri finds just enough time to pucker up and blow a kiss to the pesky paps before she sets sail on what is likely a five-star, catered superyacht that's undoubtedly larger than most NYC apartments.
