Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas Reunite for a Surprise 'Camp Rock' Performance
It's a Camp Rock reunion.
On August 10, the Jonas Brothers kicked off their 20th anniversary tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and brought out Demi Lovato as a surprise guest. Clips from the Camp Rock movies played on the jumbotron before Joe Jonas introduced Lovato to the stage.
She joined the band for a Camp Rock medley performance that kicked off with 'This Is Me.' Joe mentioned that they hadn't played that song in 'almost 10 years,' to which Lovato responded, 'It might have been longer... crazy!'
Joe and Lovato also performed a duet of 'Wouldn't Change a Thing,' which appeared in the sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
He later posted a clip of them lip-syncing to the song on Instagram. One fan spoke for all of us when they commented, 'On behalf of zillennials everywhere thank you for everything.'
Lovato followed up with a TikTok using the audio from the now-iconic Debby Ryan clip where she says, 'I went into the Disney Channel building, and I sat down with the president of Disney Channel and said, 'I wanna make history.' And that's what this is.' Lovato captioned the video, 'for the history books @joejonas.'
Lovato and Jonas previously dated in 2010 during their Camp Rock days, so this was a full-circle moment for the former couple.
The Jonas Brothers will continue their tour in Washington, D.C., on August 12 and will wrap on November 14 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Check here to see if they'll be coming to a city near you, and buy tickets below.

Melissa McCarthy, husband Ben Falcone bring comedy to date night with 'Ghost' recreation
Melissa McCarthy may be a comedy legend, but she's got plenty of dramatic flair, too. McCarthy took to Instagram over the weekend to let followers in on an intimate date night with longtime husband (and fellow comic) Ben Falcone. In a carousel of photos posted Aug. 9, McCarthy showed off some homemade pottery she had crafted at Wild Clay, a studio just east of Los Angeles. The first several photos show the "Bridesmaids" star holding up her hands covered in clay, and posing with several of her projects, but the final shot is the most true to form – McCarthy, 54, and Falcone, 51, look comically serious as they recreate an iconic scene from the 1990 movie "Ghost." Meryl Streep, Melissa McCarthy shock 'Only Murders' co-stars, ditch stunt doubles for brawl McCarthy looks wistfully to the side as Falcone, seated behind her, has his hands overlaced with hers and looks straight into the camera. In the middle of them is the pottery wheel, the site of a sensual scene between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in the original film. "We had the BEST time at Wild Clay LA!!!!!!!," McCarthy wrote alongside the post. "Joshua was an amazing teacher. I really found my inner Demi!! Grand Opening Soon!!" The couple, who love to ham it up together, have been married since 2005 and share two daughters: Vivian, 18, and Georgette, 15. "He's nothing but supportive, and he's super smart," McCarthy previously told People of her husband. "He makes me gut-laugh, like crazy gut-laugh, four or five times a day. I hit the jackpot!" The couple has also shared the screen over a dozen times, starring alongside one another in films like "Bridesmaids," "Cook Off!" and "Identity Thief."

Check out Rams rookie WRs' $13k dinner tab with Davante Adams, Puka Nacua
Every year, NFL players have a "rookie dinner" where veterans of the team rack up exorbitant bills at restaurants and ask their newest teammates to cover the cost as a rite of passage. It's a controversial moment, but typically made in good fun and used as a bonding moment for the team. Los Angeles Rams wide receivers had their rookie dinner recently, and veteran wideout Davante Adams posted a video on his Instagram story documenting the moment the rookies found out how much the bill would be: $15,022.21, including tax. Seventh-round rookie Konata Mumpfield joked that, "We'll be splitting this." 'Welcome to the league, my boys," Adams said. Here's how the whole bill looked: Unsurprisingly, the biggest items were alcohol. Two bottles of BTL Chateau Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux cost $3,120, 13 shots of Don Julio 1942 cost $1,274 and 10 shots of Hakushu 18 whiskey cost $1,980. It's unclear how the bill was actually split, though.

We're all living on ‘Sunset Boulevard' now
It had me from the very first frame. Fade into the words 'SUNSET BLVD.' stenciled boldly in municipal font. Then, the camera reverses back and you realize this is not a super-imposed title but the actual gutter of L.A.'s most famous boulevard. I first watched 'Sunset Boulevard' as a surly teenager in the late 1980s, more than ready for its dark, corrupt vision of Los Angeles. This was a formidable time for me, that period when the high of L.A., fueled by decades of record growth, the 1984 Olympics and all that talk of the 'post-racial' city built by Tom Bradley was crumbling into something far less shiny. Film noir had nothing on Mike Davis' 'City of Quartz,' which came out two years later and seemed to crystallize all that was coming: Rodney King, the 1992 uprising, the aerospace bust, Proposition 187. 'Sunset Boulevard' tells the story of Joe Gillis, a down-on-his luck Hollywood screenwriter without a penny to his name, pursued by the repo man and thinking about giving up the dream. Fate sends him to the grand, dilapidated mansion of Norma Desmond, a faded, deluded silent film star unable to confront her has-been status. Joe sees in Norma as a refuge from the bill collectors and some cash flow. Norma sees in Joe a vehicle for her comeback and perhaps much more. With 'Sunset Boulevard' turning 75 this year, I decided to rewatch it. And I am not alone. The milestone has brought a slew of thought pieces, podcast episodes and even a new book (which reveals that the producers could not find a mansion in Bel-Air ramshackle enough to serve as Norma's compound so they had to settle for one in Hancock Park). It does not hurt that Donald Trump is a big fan, leading to the inevitable comparisons between the fictional star who loses the public's eye and the real-life politician who has managed to keep the world's attention despite so much controversy. 'Tending to his own flossy coif with comb, hair dryer, spray and oversize scissors, Trump is the delusional, preening Norma Desmond,' the New York Times noted in its review of former Trump White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham's White House memoir. But in my rewatching, I was surprised to find myself much more drawn to Joe than Norma. Joe, after all, represents the striving, hustling, dreaming archetype that is still so much a part of life here, a city that can fulfill your wildest dreams just as easily as it can crush your soul. When we meet Joe, he is essentially homeless, fighting the sinking feeling that his early promise as a writer is vanquished along with his bank account and self-respect. It all comes out in one heartbreaking voiceover: As I drove back towards town, I took inventory of my prospects. They now added up to exactly zero. Apparently, I just didn't have what it takes, and the time had come to wrap up the whole Hollywood deal and go home. Maybe if I hocked all my junk there'd be enough for a bus ticket back to Ohio, back to that thirty-five-dollar-a-week job behind the copy desk of the Dayton Evening Post, if it was still open. Back to the smirking delight of the whole office. All right, you wise guys — why don't you go out and take a crack at Hollywood? How many of us have had some version of that inner monologue as we drive home after a tough day? And how many of us are still here, fighting, trying. Many of us never get our compound on 10086 Sunset Blvd., but maybe we find something better. That resilience is particularly powerful in 2025 L.A.: Thousands figuring out how to rebuild their lives from fires. Showbiz folks navigating a rapidly shrinking industry. Undocumented workers suddenly faced with the reality that going to the job they've held for years could mean a one-way flight to South Sudan. The grand, crazed Norma, unable to cope with age and changing times, got all my attention as a teenager eager for an alternative history of my hometown. But in my latest viewing all these decades later, her grievances about L.A. fell a bit flat. She got the real estate, after all. And the struggling Joe offered a bit of sharp wisdom aimed at Norma but for which I need to take to heart: 'There's nothing tragic about being 50. Not unless you're trying to be 25.'
