Jonas Brothers Surprise 'Battle Dance' Hanson at Virginia Concert

Jonas Brothers Surprise 'Battle Dance' Hanson at Virginia Concertoriginally appeared onParade. The Jonas Brothers are only four dates into theirJONAS20Tour, but they keep upping the ante when it comes to surprise guests. On Friday, August 15 — less than a week after the bandstunned the crowdat New Jersey's MetLife Stadium by bringing outDemi LovatoandJesse McCartney—Kevin,JoeandNick Jonashad their Virginia Beach audience losing it once Hanson hit the stage. Surprise! Not only didIsaac,TaylorandZac Hansonperform their mega-hit "MMMBop" alongside their fellow band of brothers, but they also joined in on Jonas Brothers' "That's Just the Way We Roll" — a majorly meta move, as the lyrics name-drop the band. ("You've got moves, I've got shoes, let's go dancing," Jonas Brothers sing the second verse of the song, which the group released on their eponymous album in 2007. "Pop and lock, battle dance against Hanson.") View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Ashlee and Jessicast (@ashleeandjessicast) As if the performances weren't enough — and they were, as the band-of-brothers crossover instantly had pop fans in a chokehold — both bands actually acted out the lyrics backstage. In an Instagram video jointly posted by Jonas Brothers and Hanson immediately following Friday night's concert, all six musicians got into the "That's Just the Way We Roll" spirit, with Nick kicking off the clip by pointing to the camera and lip-synching, "You've got moves." Joe — who celebrated his 36th birthday at the show — then showed off his black loafers (and studded jeans) as he did a slow-mo body roll to the lines, "I've got shoes / Let's go dancing." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonas Brothers (@jonasbrothers) In a clever play on "pop and lock," Kevin locks the hotel room door, as the camera then cuts to Hanson. "Battle dance against Hanson," the music blasts, as Isaac and Zac move towards the camera, snapping their fingers. Zac lowers his sunglasses as Isaac beckons the Jonas Brothers to take them on. (Taylor, for his part, laughs in the background.) "Unsure if this counts as our 'battle dance' but ❤️ @hanson," the caption of the post reads. "Who won?" Hanson joked in the comments section. Hanson's surprise performance at the Jonas Brothers' Virginia show, of course, comes on the heels ofLovato's own revelationat herCamp Rockco-stars' tour kick-off show in New Jersey. Reflecting on the moment, Lovato recalled on theChicks in the Officepodcast: "Joe just asked me last week, he 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,'" the "Sober" singer shared, referring to theCamp Rocksongs she performed. Continuing Joe's request, Lovato recalled him saying, "'You've been a huge part of our journey and vice versa. This show is really important to us and we would love to have you there.'" Lovato, who called the performance "so nice," said it was "so healing for me too." "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," she gushed.

Family of Teen with Cancer, Who Kate Middleton Helped to Fulfill Bucket List, Makes Special Birthday Request (Exclusive)

Family of Teen with Cancer, Who Kate Middleton Helped to Fulfill Bucket List, Makes Special Birthday Request (Exclusive)

Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace Kate Middleton and Prince William helped a young teen with cancer, Liz Hatton, fulfill her "bucket list" of photographic assignments When she died in November 1994, her family vowed to help fund more research Now, in their latest efforts, they hope people will share Liz's photos and raise more awareness The family of the teen with cancer who was helped with her bucket list of dream photography assignments byKate MiddletonandPrince Williamhas the perfect way of recalling her impact on a special day this month. Liz Hatton's family would like people to display her prized images to mark what would have been her 18thbirthday on August 31. Liz, who had been diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, captured the hearts of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who heard of her desire to undertakeexciting photographic assignmentsin the last months of her life. Hearing of her story, they invited her to take pictures of an investiture at Windsor Castle — and she and her family got to meet the royals in a surprise tea party afterward. When she died in November 2024, William and Kate sent aspecial rose that is now plantedin her family's backyard in Harrogate, Yorkshire. It will flower every November around the anniversary of Liz's death. As the date of what would have been Liz's 18th birthday approaches, her mother, Vicky Robayna, tells PEOPLE of their special idea. They're inviting people from around the world to display Liz's images wherever they see fit or share on their own social media. Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace "We just want as many people as possible to see her work," Vicky tells PEOPLE. "If anyone would like one to put up prominently, we're up to helping with that. People can also share them on their social media. "We're happy to send them a print, and we have some available to sell," she adds. "Or a screenshot of her images. They can do whatever-sized print people want or need." Most of Liz's photographs are on her Instagram, and Vicky promises there will be a new reel of photos for people to access on her birthday. "These are photos that she took that we are keen for people to share," she adds. "It'll be easy for people to find and share." AARON CHOWN/POOL/AFP via Getty https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf The family is also releasing a calendar of Liz's photographs on the day that will be for sale to aid the family-founded charity,Capture. "All proceeds go towards the research," she says. Liz's cancer was a rare sarcoma with little research or awareness. Since her death, Vicky and her husband, Aaron, started Capture, which is the world's first charity dedicated to the disease. Since November, they have raised $205,000via its fundraising page. Aug. 31 will be an emotional day for the family. "We're going to spend time with family and Liz's friends and celebrate her birthday in the way that she would have wanted us to do so," Vicky explains. "Though I'm sure there will be tears, she wouldn't have wanted us to cry. But I think there will be a whole lot more memories being shared about Liz and her life, and hopefully, looking at her photos being shared." Shane Sinclair/Getty Since Princess Kate and Prince William met Liz and her family, the couple's support has been ongoing. Vicky and her family were invited to Kate'sholiday carol serviceat Westminster Abbey in December 2024 and agarden party at Buckingham Palacein May, when they were able to tell the royal couple how much they appreciated their support. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage?Sign up for our free Royals newsletterto get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! When she died on Nov. 27, 2024, Kate and Williamissued a personal messageon their social media: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Liz's parents, Vicky and Aaron, and her brother, Mateo, at this unimaginably difficult time." They signed it "W & C" to show the message came personally from them, and they quietly sent the family a rose that will bloom each year around the anniversary of Liz's death. The royals' backing has enabled Liz's story to be heard around the world, something that is of great help to the family and to their ongoing efforts to raise money for more research into the little-known condition. Throughout August, around 70 families, friends and well-wishers have been taking part in a fundraising effort called Marathon Your Way. The idea is that people can complete a marathon of 26 miles in any way they choose. Shane Sinclair/Getty Liz's younger brother, Mateo, 9, has been leading the way and is halfway through his second. (He's been doing his by running, riding his scooter, swimming and even taking part in a three-legged race with a relative.) They've currently raised around $6,700. "He's trying to see how many marathons he can do in August," Vicky says with a smile. "We've got a lady who is blind and is completing it with her guide dog," she says. "We have the full span of age range and ability and completing in ways that work for them." "This is particularly apt for Liz. She didn't have a favorite of anything and would think people should do it in a way that works for them. When she was poorly, the school did a fundraising day and said people could wear her favorite color. And she said, 'I want everybody to wear their favorite color so they're happy.' " "So getting people to do it their way was an important part of the charity to open it up to participation as possible to take part. But also a way of reflecting Liz's philosophy in life – she wanted people to do things in the ways they feel comfortable." Read the original article onPeople

People Fixate on the Violence and Drama in “BMF ”— but They're Totally Missing the Point

People Fixate on the Violence and Drama in "BMF "— but They're Totally Missing the Point

Wilford Harewood/STARZ When it comes to crime shows, it's easy to get swept up in the drama and miss the true story BMFis a crime drama, created by Randy Huggins, that follows the rise and fall of one of the most influential crime families in the country: the Black Mafia Family While the show features everything associated with gang culture, I believe the story that Huggins is trying to tell is so much more than that Spoilers ahead for theBMFfinale. When it comes to crime shows, it's easy to get swept up in the drama and miss the true story — and that's exactly what I think happens with the hit seriesBMF. On the surface, the crime drama follows the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family — one of the most influential crime families in the country. Formed in the 1980s by two brothers, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, BMF grew to become a large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering organization that also expanded into the music industry. The series showcases the lives of the Flenory brothers, from their humble beginnings in Detroit and their entrance into the drug game to the building and destruction of their empire. It features everything associated with gang culture — violence, drug trafficking and sex. However, the story that I believe creatorRandy Hugginsis trying to tell is so much more than that. Hidden beneath all of the violence and drama is a story rooted in familial love.BMFis a true demonstration of how far people will go to protect, care and provide for their family, whether that be blood-related or chosen. Wilford Harewood/Starz At the heart of the show lies the brotherhood between Demetrius (portrayed by his sonDemetrius "Lil Meech" Flenory Jr.) and Terry (portrayed by actorDa'Vinchi). It starts off where their story began, showing them growing up in a poverty-stricken area in southwest Detroit. The series' success thrives on the brothers' relationship and connection with one another. Despite all of their disagreements along the way, they always show up for, care for and protect each other. Their love for each other runs deep, which is shown in their frequently used phrase "womb to tomb." The simple motto represents the entire purpose and meaning of the show. https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf Viewers are also introduced to the many challenges that the Flenory family faced, which mostly centered on their financial challenges. The family's lack of money became one of the biggest factors that drove the brothers to begin their journey as small-time drug dealers. The Flenory boys had a strong desire to elevate their family. In the show, it's clear that their motivating factor for selling drugs is not only to obtain all of the material things that they wanted at the time, but also fulfill a need to help their family out of a tough situation. Wilford Harewood/STARZ As they continued their journey in the drug trade, they endured several new challenges, including Terry losing his eye in a shooting that almost cost him his life. However, over time, their loyalty to their trusted circle grew, as well as their organization. Eventually, their crew, the "50 Boyz," became more like family and the love between them all was deep. This evolution and the eventual change of their name to the "Black Mafia Family" is shown in the series. From family dinners to the different ways they've paid tribute to fallen members in their crew, the main sentiment that shined through was love. Throughout the show, Huggins crafts a story that showcases all of the nuances of their crew, weaving in how each member shows up to support one another within the massive organization, and in spite of all the obstacles they encounter, it always comes back to their relationships. That same familial love and loyalty extends beyond the Flenory boys and their crew. It is the driving force behind a lot of the antagonists on the show. Huggins has crafted complex characters all motivated by the same thing: a love for their family. In the series, Steve Harris' Detective Von Bryant seemingly only has one goal in mind: take down the Flenory boys. However, the deeper you get into the series, the more you'll learn about his motivation for what he's doing. After losing his job and his reputation, Bryant is already set on taking the Flenory's down. But, his anger and rage against the Flenorys is only heightened with the loss of his son, which he blames on the brothers. This tragic incident pushes Bryant to spend decades of his life in pursuit of taking down the Flenorys to avenge the death of his son. Wilford Harewood/STARZ A new antagonist this season, Myles Truitt's B-Mickie is another example of this notion. Starting as one of the "50 Boyz," his actions (which include becoming a double agent for Detective Bryant) left him exiled from the close crew. In the latest season ofBMF, he comes back into the fold through Terry, seemingly with good intentions. However, it's later revealed that he's only back in an attempt to help pay for his daughter's medical bills, while simultaneously trying to undermine the people he once considered family. B-Mickie is so blinded by his love-turned-hatred that he ends up orchestrating his own demise in the pursuit of revenge. Wilford Harewood/Starz Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE's free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. As with many crime dramas,BMFhas no shortage of violence. The show doesn't shy away from the reality of what the Flenory brothers' lives entailed, and it doesn't glamorize it. Instead, it gives a frank point of view that allows you to see into their lives. Huggins is not simply writing a story about two brothers who rose to prominence because of their connection to the drug trade and all of the people they came into contact with along the way. He's crafting a story about family, loyalty and love. He's giving context to the potential motivations behind one of the most popular criminal organizations in the world. The story, at its core, is about so much more than violence and drama. It's about how far you would go for your family — and that's why I can't stop watching. Read the original article onPeople
