Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez: The Controversial Photo

There's a small controversy brewing over a photo accompanying Rolling Stone's new cover story on the Jonas Brothers. In the piece, Jason Gay writes of a backstage incident where the magazine's photographer snapped a shot of the band that got their publicist quite anxious. The photo in question? A pic of Nick, Joe, Kevin and new Disney Channel star Selena Gomez (i.e. the next Miley Cyrus) with her arm around Nick (who previously dated Cyrus). Today Gomez issued a statement denying she's seeing the youngest Jonas, saying she'd prefer a romance with Shia LaBeouf, but a source tells Us Weekly they've been an item for several months.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
