A FEW JONAS BROTHERS' TOUR SECRETS . . . EXPOSED!!!

On their current tour, the JONAS BROTHERS perform on a circular stage in the middle of each venue . . . surrounded by their MANIACAL teenage fans. This is pretty cool, but it creates one little problem: How do they make their way through all those fans to get up to the stage??? The answer is crazier than you think.

Apparently . . . at least in some venues . . . each Jonas Brother is wheeled out, while HIDDEN IN A BLACK EQUIPMENT BOX. Seriously. The boxes have air holes . . . a built-in fan . . . a small window . . . and a tiny seat to sit on.

(--Since you probably have to see this to believe it, here's a picture . . .)

--If you think that's bizarre, here's something else: Recently, the Jonas Brothers have been having some G-RATED FUN on tour . . . by wearing SILLY COSTUMES during their sound-checks. (--You can find a few pictures at the link below. Not that I should have an opinion on this, but I like the ones featuring JOE JONAS dressed up as GRAPES.)

THE TWITTER WAR BETWEEN TRACE CYRUS AND DEMI LOVATO APPEARS TO BE OVER:

The devastating TWITTER WAR between MILEY CYRUS' older brother TRACE and his ex-girlfriend, DEMI LOVATO, appears to be over. Trace has decided to quit the online sniping and release a very gracious statement about the end of their relationship.

He says, "Demi is one of my good friends and I definitely became very, very close with her in the past few months, and it's something I really wanted to make work. But unfortunately, we both have very busy schedules . . . we're both on tour right now. -"I'm always on the other side of the world and so is she, so it just seemed like something that can't work out at this time.

-"We gave it a shot and that's all you can do. Every time I hung out with that girl or talked on the phone with her, it was amazing. She's someone I can totally relate to. -"But she is a lot younger than me. When someone is that much younger, you're looking for different things in relationships. Maybe when she's older and we've both matured, we'll be looking for the same thing and it can work out."

MICHAEL JACKSON'S FORMER NEIGHBORS ARE UNITING TO PREVENT NEVERLAND FROM BECOMING A TOURIST ATTRACTION:

Neighbors of MICHAEL JACKSON'S Neverland Ranch have formed a committee to keep Neverland from becoming a tourist attraction. And they've oh-so-cleverly named it . . . NEVER.

They say the area doesn't have the roads, police or infrastructure to support what would most likely be a huge tourist destination. --One member says, quote, "We have received mixed messages, some reassuring, some troubling. We'd like clear, concrete signs that there are no plans to pursue turning this into a tourist attraction."

JERMAINE JACKSON WANTS US TO LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE:
