Joe Jonas finds South Park's purity ring episode 'hilarious'
Joe Jonas "loved" the 'South Park' episode that mocked him for wearing a purity ring.
The 35-year-old pop star and his brothers, Nick and Kevin, famously wore purity rings - which served as a symbol to their commitment to wait to have sex - early in their careers, but Joe wasn't at all bothered when 'South Park' mocked him for wearing it during a 2009 episode of the show.
During an appearance on 'Josh Scherer's Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals' podcast, Joe explained: "I think I was the only brother that loved it. Our skin was not as thick back then."
Joe thought the episode was "hilarious" and he doesn't have any bitterness towards the makers of the hit TV show.
He said: "I thought it was hilarious, because I watched 'South Park', and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!'"
Joe and his brothers are now all able to watch the episode and laugh it off.
The pop star shared: "I think it's one of my favourite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim-to-fame for me."
Joe was married to Sophie Turner between 2019 and 2024, and he recently described the actress as an "incredible mom".
The singer - who has daughters Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with Sophie - revealed that they've developed a "beautiful co-parenting relationship" since finalising their divorce.
Speaking to Jay Shetty during his 'On Purpose Live Tour', Joe shared: "I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for. Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true."
The 'Cake by the Ocean' hitmaker wants his children to have strong female role models in their lives.
Joe - who previously dated the likes of Gigi Hadid and Demi Lovato - explained: "As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them.
"I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want."

Joe Jonas describes post-divorce relationship with ex-wife Sophie Turner as ‘beautiful co-parenting' experience
Joe Jonas has described his post-divorce relationship with ex-wife Sophie Turner as a 'beautiful co-parenting' experience. Offering rare insight into how the pair are raising their children together the 35-year-old singer made the remarks during a live appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast tour, where he spoke about their two daughters, Willa, aged four, and Delphine, two. He said in a TikTok clip from the event: 'Having an incredible mum, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true. 'As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart.' Joe added he hopes Willa and Delphine 'be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want.' Joe and Sophie, 29, began dating in 2016 and became engaged the following year. They married in 2019 before welcoming Willa in 2020 and Delphine in 2022. Their separation was announced in 2023 after four years of marriage. The couple's break-up then became publicly contentious when Sophie filed a lawsuit claiming that Joe had 'wrongfully removed' their children from England. A spokesperson for Joe described the legal filing at the time as a 'serious abuse' of the legal system. Despite the conflict, the couple reached a temporary agreement through mediation in October 2023, vowing to resolve their separation privately. But in March 2024, Sophie reactivated divorce proceedings and their split was finalised in September 2024. Joe has since been romantically linked to 33-year-old model Stormi Bree and 28-year-old actor Laila Abdallah. Speaking on a TalkShopLive stream earlier this year, he described dating again as 'scary and intimidating'. Sophie, meanwhile, was reportedly in a relationship with 29-year-old aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. The pair were last seen together earlier this year, but speculation about a split emerged in April. Sophie recently appeared to show public support for Joe's new solo project, 'Music for People Who Believe in Love', by posting a message of encouragement on Instagram. 'Go go @joejonas,' she wrote in a caption, alongside a link to the album.

When he was 16 this musician met Elmer Bernstein. It changed everything
Enthralled by the work of film composers such as James Horner, Alan Silvestri and Danny Elfman ('my north star'), going to the movies became an obsession, although his motives were different to those of his friends. 'They would go, 'Wow, that chick was so hot' or, 'Did you see that scene where the guy exploded?' 'And I would go, 'Did you guys hear what Jerry Goldsmith did with the French horns? I think that was the bad guys' theme, but he turned it upside down. I'm going to see it again tomorrow to find out.' 'They thought I was a weirdo,' he laughs. In high school, McCreary met an elderly gentleman named Joe, who ran the Bellingham Yacht Club and told him legendary composer Elmer Bernstein, who wrote McCreary's favourite score of all time in To Kill a Mockingbird, moored his yacht there. Joe offered to give Bernstein a tape of the then 16-year-old's work. Bernstein then took McCreary under his wing as a protege until his death in 2004. 'The reason I wanted to work with her is because of who she is, not just her voice. The rebel that she was. Between that recording and her untimely death we became friends. We were texting all the time. She was so funny.' Bear McCreary on Sinead O'Connor 'I didn't know what a life in film music could be,' McCreary reflects. 'And then I met Elmer, who was the sweetest, most thoughtful man I'd ever met. He had a great relationship with his wife and kids, people respected him immensely, and yet he took no shit. 'Getting to know him gave me something to point to. It wasn't even about the music, it was personal. You could have a life. That's where I want to be when I'm pushing 80.' McCreary's big break was scoring the 2004 TV reboot of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. But just as significant was working with Irish singer Sinead O'Connor, who sang the main title for season seven of Outlander, her final ever recording. 'The reason I wanted to work with her is because of who she is, not just her voice,' McCreary says. 'The rebel that she was. Between that recording and her untimely death we became friends. We were texting all the time. She was so funny.' Another life-changing moment came with Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), for which McCreary recorded a hard rock cover of Blue Öyster Cult's Godzilla featuring System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian and legendary heavy metal drummer Gene Hoglan. 'It was one of the best days of my life,' he beams. 'And I got in the car and I was driving home and I was totally buzzed. But by the time I got into my driveway I was really sad.' Over the space of that short car ride, it dawned on McCreary that this was likely a one-off experience. Then he was struck by a revelation. 'What if I just started writing some music for the people I want to work with, and it's not for a film?' he says. The result was McCreary's 2024 album The Singularity, a two-LP set that merges the grandeur of his scoring work with the bombast of hard rock and heavy metal. It features guests such as Tankian, Hoglan, Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, Slipknot's Corey Taylor and guitar heroes Joe Satriani and Slash from Guns N' Roses. McCreary will perform songs from The Singularity and his scoring career in Australia in July on his Themes & Variations tour. 'It's a celebration of everything I've written in my life. And it's a chance to hear all these pieces from The Singularity, from The Walking Dead, from Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Godzilla. I'm re-envisioning it all in a format that fits the stage we're on.' Loading For someone experiencing his first taste of touring, adjusting to life on the road has taken some work. Luckily, McCreary has some experienced pals to call on. 'I got fantastic touring laundry advice from [Guns N' Roses bassist] Duff McKagan,' he says. 'I find myself texting a picture of my laundry to Slash and Duff and I'm like, I think I've got this figured out!' Given the contrast between his orchestral film scores and the guitar-fuelled tracks from The Singularity, one wonders what kind of audience he's been attracting on the tour. He reflects on a recent show in Europe.
