(Theo Wargo, WireImage)It looks like young Nick Jonas is all grown up. The 20-year-old pop star is embroiled in a steamy affair with a gorgeous older woman – on screen that is. The youngest Jonas Brother will star in the upcoming thriller, “Careful What You Wish For,” which reportedly begins filming in North Carolina this week.
Jonas will co-star in the movie, directed by Elizabeth Allen (“The Vampire Diaries,” “Life Unexpected”), with gorgeous Australian actress Isabel Lucas, who plays his married love interest.
Talking to MTV News, Jonas said that the film is a “really intense sort of sexy thriller with a lot of twists and turns." He revealed that there will be some steamy love scenes that fans can look forward to, adding, “I think it'll be a movie that keeps people on the edge of their seats and makes them uncomfortable and excited. It'll be good."
This is a big leap for the wholesome Jonas Brother who wore a purity ring to symbolize his choice to abstain from having sex until marriage.

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose's son may be nearly two months old, but that doesn't mean he is out and about.
The Pittsburgh rapper told New York radio station Power 105.1 that his son Sebastian "The Bash" Taylor Thomas is always inside.
"I haven't even [taken] my son out the crib yet," Wiz told the show. "I'm like defensive. I don't want nobody to see him yet. I'm so scared cause he's so young. He's so little."

DMX's drug addiction was among the factors that cost him his marriage and tens of millions of dollars, among other things.
Now, one of the rapper-actor's supporters is reaching out to him again in a moving video.
Spiritual healer and motivational speaker Iyanla Vanzant featured the troubled artist on her Iyanla: Fix My Life show, which aired on Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network last week.

In the '70s, Iggy Pop encouraged crowds to throw bottles at him, rolled around in broken glass, and smeared himself with peanut butter in concert. These days he's less unpredictable and his shock shtick has been upstaged by artists like Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. But at least least Iggy Pop hasn’t lost his sense of humor.
In an new comedic video to promote the new Stooges album Ready to Die (out April 30 on Fat Possum), Pop is depicted surrounded by beautiful women at a posh pool, complaining on the phone about being on a major label and "losing touch with the common man." After insisting that his manager find him a new label he says, "I have got to get off this major-label system before it kills me. I don’t care about the money. Where’s my integrity?"

People who complained about the attention Jay-Z's recent trip to Cuba received may have to reconsider their stance.
The rapper-businessman is among seven cover subjects for Time magazine's tenth-annual "100 Most Influential People In The World" issue.
On its website, Time writes of Jay-Z that his "journey from hip-hop artist to powerful entrepreneur symbolizes, according to Michael Bloomberg, the American Dream narrative."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote the special profile on Jay-Z for the issue.
Jay-Z is among the best-selling rap artists of all time and has been a successful businessman since the 1990s, excelling as a record company executive, clothing magnate, pitchman, minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets and, most recently, a sports agent, among other endeavors.

Psy's clip for "Gentleman" is now tying the record for the fastest video to hit 100 million views.
"Gentleman," which debuted worldwide on April 13, hit that viewing milestone in a mere three days, which puts the clip neck-and-neck with the video of a meteor that hit Russia in February, according to video performance analysis blog Visible Measures.

It's not that they've been drinking--it's that they're crazily driving from indie record store to indie record store, trying to find that very, very limited edition that the other outlets are already out of or never got in.
For the eighth annual Record Store Day, more than 350 exclusive releases are hitting stores for the first (and, in some cases, only) time. Most are on vinyl, which should make the occasion a banner day for turntable sales. Plenty are CD issues, though, which should satiate music fans who still can't fathom the practicality of the 45-rpm revival. Lest you think that an actual 78-rpm record is the weirdest instant rarity being released, you can thank thank MGMT for being forward/backward-thinking enough to put out a cassette-only release.

Rock 'n' roll rebels don't always have to rage against their parents. Sometimes they can embrace them. Take the story of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club singer/bassist Robert Levon Been for example.
On Thursday at Slim's in San Francisco and Friday at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Been will stand in for his late father, Michael Been, fronting The Call, the Santa Cruz, Calif. band known for the '80s hits "The Walls Came Down" and "Let the Day Begin."
On August 19, 2010, the elder Been died tragically of a heart attack at the age of 60 at the Pukkelpop festival in Hasselt, Belgium, while working as a soundman for BRMC. And now his son will pay his father the ultimate tribute by joining The Call's surviving members to play a few shows and record a live album/DVD.
