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.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
