The Jonas Brothers have been watching the youtube videos everyone has made dancing to their song ‘What Did I Do to Your Heart’ and they love them. They inspired the brothers to run a contest for the three vids they like the most. Here’s what you need to do: make a video and submit it to YouTube.com/JBHeartVideo for your shot at being on the brothers’ favorites page.

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam is currently filming in Ontario Canada and according to costar Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, Disney is stepping it up a notch.

“People are going to be surprised by Camp Rock 2,” Anna tells [OK! Magazine.] “It’s gonna be a good movie You’ll see amazing songs by the Jonas Brothers, Demi has an amazing song. Just bigger and better dance numbers. It’s more intense this time. It’s more of a musical, so people will look forward to that.”

The pressure is on Disney after the first Camp Rock was such a suprise hit but with Demi Lovato, The Jonas Brothers and all the original cast returning for the sequel, this movie should be great.

Glee was back this week with “Acafellas” a good episode but a bit weaker than last week’s stellar season premiere.

Rachel (Lea Michele) provokes Will (Matthew Morrison) to take a backseat in the club’s musical direction and Quinn (Dianna Agron) and her fellow Cheerios get Rachel to hire Dakota Stanley, a famously tough choreographer who they hope will crush the Glee’s enthusiasm with his legendary meanness. (Stanley remarks to the wheelchair bound Artie (Kevin McHale) “you’re not trying hard enough to walk!”)

Will gets the idea to form a group with his fellow teachers and they name themselves the Acafellas. After two drop out, Finn (Cory Montieth) joins, along with his football rival Puck (Mark Salling) who has given up teenaged girls and is interested in cougars; and the Acafellas perform for the PTA meeting. Josh Grobin makes a guest appearance at the end

“I Wanna Sex You Up,” “Bust Your Windows,” “This Is How We Do It” and “Mercy” were performed this week but Coach Sue Sylvester played by Jane Lynch steals the show. Lynch’s deadpan delivery and atrociously manipulative behavior is simply sinfully delightful to watch.

I left out the sub plots in this recap because well, they made the show falter in it’s pace. The Mercedes/Kurt romance was silly and the Sandy/Josh Grobin appearance was distracting, although Grobin was funny when he told Will’s mother he “loves a blousy alcoholic.”

Episode 3 was enjoyable and had lots of laughs, not the same level as last week’s “Showmance” but still a solid hour of television. Bring on Episode 4: Preggers!

Ok, let’s have a bit of a television moment here. ABC’s Dancing With The Stars is coming back in September with it’s largest cast ever and I thought we’d have a little fun here on GossipTeen: Which favorite teen stars would I chose if I could cast this show? Who would be the most interesting to watch weekly? Before I reveal the “sweet 16″ I selected, I eliminated Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Taylor Swift and Dakota Fanning. They were all easy choices and while everyone would want them, there is no way they would do it. Even though it’s fantasy, I wanted it to have some basis in how the contestants are really chosen for the show. It would be like asking George Clooney or Angelina Jolie to do the regular version: it would make for great television but it’s never gonna happen.

So let’s lay a bit of groundwork; some rules, so to speak:

First: Everyone is under 25, that should be obvious.

Second: I selected an equal mix of guys and gals.

Third: Like the original show, I added in athletes and musicians as well as actors.

Fourth: I did limit the amount of ‘Twilight’ kids.

Fifth: It’s subjective of course but I tried to get an interesting array of young celebs who would be fun to watch.

So there you have it - Part One is up after the jump. Come back later this week for Parts Two, Three and Four.

Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner was an aspiring breakdancer a few years ago. He was not that bad but we are glad he decided to pursue an acting career and become the sexy shirtless teenage werewolf, Jacob Black, in Twilight!

The adorable Disney duo of Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato got themselves (politely) tossed out of a prom they crashed this weekend in Toronto. The BFF’s were celebrating the premiere of their upcoming movie, Princess Protection Program (airing June 26th on the mouse network) when Gomez discovered the prom happening as she took a little breather from the promotion.

“She [Gomez] kindly asked the security guard if she could check out the scene and once inside, the Disney Channel star surprised a group of girls dancing in the middle of the floor by rocking out with them for a few songs.”

Enlisting Lovato and a few friends, the girls headed back to Etobicoke Collegiate Institute’s festivities where they enjoyed the dance for a bit until 11pm, when they were asked to leave because they are not students at that school.

Selena’s tweet from the night:

“PPP peeps and I crashed a prom tonight and danced with a highschool!! amazing!! I finally had prom!”

Sounds like she had a fun time!

Vanessa Hudgens has a lot of movies coming up. Bandslam  is due out in July of this year and she will begin working on Beastly  and Sucker Punch,  both films due in theaters in 2010. Check out what’s she has to say.

Luv Hoedown Throwdown! Now Miley Cyrus is teaching us the moves to the “Hoedown Throwdown” from the Hannah Montana: The Movie. Miley makes a challenge to all the fans “Watch it!! Learn it!!

The BFF’s are back with a cute new youtube that has Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato doing the cutest dance to Wham! ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.’ Great 80’s hair on Selena.

Congrats also go out to Demi for her new Disney show, ‘Sonny with a Chance.’ It was the highest rated show on cable for the premiere night, February 2nd.
