Joe Jonas finds South Park's purity ring episode 'hilarious'
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."

Demi Lovato found Jonas Brothers surprise performance 'healing'
Demi Lovato found it "really healing" to perform with the Jonas Brothers over the weekend. The 32-year-old singer-and-actress made a surprise appearance at her Camp Rock co-stars' show in New Jersey on Sunday (10.08.25) and not only was it "so nice" to be back on stage with the trio after receiving a call from ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, they enjoyed some "meaningful" time in the dressing room with Demi's new husband Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes. Speaking on the Chicks in the Office podcast, she said: "[Joe] was like, 'Hey, what are you doing next weekend on the 10th? We would love to have you come and perform This Is Me and Wouldn't Change a Thing. You've been a huge part of our journey and … this show is really important to us and we would love to have you there. "It was so nice. We've been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I, and it was really, really great to spend time with them. "They came to my room all three of them and spent time getting to know my husband, which was really meaningful to me. "And they just thanked me profusely for flying across the country to perform with them and it was just so thoughtful and I felt so appreciated and it was really healing for us. I loved it. Every second of it was so great." Demi admitted she had no hesitation in agreeing to the performance because not only has she come to a point where she's happy to embrace her past, she was particularly happy to revisit a very "meaningful" song. She said: "This Is Me is my first big song that I've ever had. So getting to perform that with them for the first time in God knows how many years was just so full circle and so special and it was great to see them." However, the singer needed some help remembering the lyrics to This Is Me before she got on stage. She said: "Once I listened to it a few times, it all came back to me," she said. "We finished soundcheck and Joe was like, 'Yeah, we still got it.'" Demi also returned to the Camp Rock movies after learning one of her closest friends had never seen Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. She said: "I was like, 'B****, we're watching it.' So we watched the first one and I cringed out of my soul, but I loved every second. "And we watched the second one the next night, and it was so fun. "I don't just see a project that I worked on, I see a collection of memories that really fulfilled me and gave me so much life at a dark point in my life. I was kind of struggling when I was working on those projects but those projects brought me so much joy."

Joe Jonas drops hint over Camp Rock 3
Joe Jonas appears to have suggested Camp Rock 3 is on its way. The Sucker singer, along with his Jonas Brothers bandmates and siblings Nick and Kevin Jonas, starred opposite Demi Lovato in the 2008 Disney movie and its 2010 follow-up Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, and he's suggested a script has been written for a third installment in the series, though he didn't share any further details. The Jonas Brothers appeared on the latest episode of Hot Ones Versus and Joe was asked to read the last entry on his Notes app out loud. He looked at the camera and said: "Uh-oh." He then cleared his throat and said: "Read Camp Rock 3." Nick put down his glass of milk and made a shocked face, prompting laughter from his brothers and the crew, before he said: "It's pretty good." Kevin added: 'Okay, that's a pretty good one.' Joe pointed at his phone and said: "It's the truth. It's literally right here. "Sorry, Disney." Back in 2017, Nick declared he'd be keen on making an adult-rated Camp Rock 3. He added to People magazine: 'If the right thing comes together, I think that'd be fun. It's a really delicate thing because [they're two films] really beloved by fans. So I think for it to work, it'd have to be some creative new version where we get a writing team and do something special." Earlier this year, Alyson Stoner, who played Caitlyn Geller, insisted she hadn't heard any talk of a Camp Rock 3 and was unsure how the cast could reunite for another film. She told People magazine in June: "I truly cannot confirm or deny anything. They haven't given me a ring. "I wonder where that plot line would go. It would thicken. It would have to thicken quite a bit to get all of us back." Camp Rock followed Mitchie Torres (Lovato) as she attended the titular prestigious music camp and caught the attention of pop star Shane Gray (Joe), who was also attending the camp to reignite his passion, while the sequel saw the facility fight for survival amid the launch of a rival, Camp Star.

Music legend Paul Kelly announces death of beloved character Joe from iconic Christmas song How To Make Gravy
Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly has shocked fans with the death of one of the most famous characters from his hit song, How To Make Gravy. On Monday, the music legend posted a public notice in The Age newspaper declaring Joe, the convict cook and star of the hugely popular 1996 Aussie Christmas anthem, had died. The notice was also shared on Kelly's Instagram with the short caption: 'RIP, Joe.' 'With great sorrow, we announce the death of Joe by sudden misadventure. Much loved father, husband, brother, brother-in-law and uncle to Dan, Rita, Stella, Roger, Mary, Angus, Frank and Dolly,' the public notice said. 'We'll miss you badly, Joe. You loved life and went hard at it. 'You loved music, food, football, celebration, tall tales and strong argument. 'We can still see you cooking up a storm in the kitchen at our big family gatherings, pots and pans on the go, BBQ smoking outside, glass of wine in hand, your beloved reggae music on the stereo, Junior Murvin, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Gregory Isaac and the like. 'You filling up everybody's drinks and teasing the little ones. 'Christmas just won't be the same this year without you.' Of course, the notice also included the infamous lyric: 'Who's gonna make the gravy?' It's a question that fans of the song are asking too, as they mourn the beloved character. 'But we know you'll always be with us, hovering above us, floating all around us, making sure we get it right. And laughing when we don't,' the notice continued. 'The funeral and service will be on August 14th. Followed by a wake to end all wakes! 'Further details to follow.' Kelly's followers expressed their sadness but also wondered if there was more behind his cryptic post — some speculated it was the musician teasing the long-awaited sequel to his iconic Australian song. 'I feel like there's more to this? What's happening on August 14?' one person commented on the post. 'Is this the follow up song?' another questioned. 'Just like the gravy, the plot thickens,' wrote one fan. Kelly's song — the inspiration for Binge's 2024 film How To Make Gravy — tells the story of Joe, a prisoner longing to spend Christmas with his family. In a letter to his brother, Dan, Joe shares a recipe for gravy (featuring flour, salt, red wine, and a dollop of tomato sauce) to help prepare the family's festive dinner. Joe asks Dan to care for his children in his absence and confesses his regret over his mistakes, expressing how much he wishes he could be there. He also pleads with Dan to support his wife, Rita, but warns him not to get too close, with the lyrics saying: 'Oh brother, please don't stab me in the back.' In May, the 70-year-old songwriter revealed during an interview on ABC's Double J radio show Tower Of Song that he had completed the sequel to his iconic hit titled Rita Wrote A Letter. 'I always wanted to sort of have more, I guess, her point of view in that whole situation,' Kelly said. 'It took a little dark turn, but I can't really say much more about that.' The 1996 track made its triple j Hottest 100 Australian Songs debut in July, coming in at number nine. Kelly will kick off his arena tour in September.
