Following the footsteps of fellow Disney baby Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers are now trying their luck to break into the British market when they launch their first U.K. single as the trio relies not only on their musicality, but also on their clean and so far scandal-free rep to win the hearts of British children and parents.
The band from Wyckoff, New Jersey wear purity rings to signal their abstinence from sex until marriage. The trio – Nick, 16, Joe, 18, and Kevin, 20 – started wearing the rings when their parents, who follow the band around the world and watch every performance, asked them if they wanted to. They just finished a sell-out arena tour of Britain and released their single SOS, which, experts believe, is expected to climb atop the U.K. charts any day now.

Despite a typical storyline and main characters that aren’t that likable, the movie somehow ends up coming out okay. There’s only one explanation. Disney must have sprinkled some magic fairy dust on it.
