They've got a brand-new snippet of a Disney television show, another album due out in a couple of months, sellout concert shows riding high on the success of a sophomore CD, an original TV movie premiering this weekend, and droves of screaming, swooning teenaged girls going senseless over them. Who are we talking about - none other than the trio of the Jonas Brothers, stars of Disney Channel's
Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream.
Nick, Kevin and Joe – collectively known as the Jonas Brothers - were in Manhattan last week for the gala premiere screening of
Camp Rock. The new Disney Channel Original Movie debuts Friday, June 20th, on the Disney and Family Channels. The boys sat down with The Toronto Star the day after the screening and spoke about getting to where they are now and dealing with the fame and celebrity that comes with the territory.

"You never get used to it," 15-year old
Nick Jonas admitted when The Toronto Star asked them about the crowd's reaction during their arrival at the premiere the day before.
"Absolutely not,"
Kevin, the eldest of the three at 20 years of age, agreed.
Middle brother
Joe added, "Every time I hear that screaming, I think `Something must be wrong!' You know, like we're in
Cloverfield all of a sudden."
The throng of thousands of shrieking, yelling fans that greeted them at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan for the
Camp Rock gala is just more of the usual. Ever since their eponymous second album rocketed to the fifth spot on the Billboard charts, and helped by phenomenal exposure touring with
Hannah Montana's
Miley Cyrus on her
Best of Both Worlds Tour, the Jonas Brothers have become young female public favorite commodity number one.
"I think it's the songs we sing," Nick offered during the Toronto Star interview. "The lyrics are things that kids all through their teenage years can relate to, but there's a feel to the music that makes the moms and dads feel good as well."
No doubt their clean-living packaging earns them parental seal of approval as objects of fancy for the young, hip set. If that's what works, the stars of
Camp Rock and
Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream can bank on their success growing tenfold.
Catch
Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream Fridays at 7:55pm, followed immediately this Friday by the premiere telecast of
Camp Rock at 8pm.
