				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After all the excitement of the <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/jonas-brothers/" target="_blank"><strong>Jonas Brothers</strong></a>&#8216; tour in South America, <strong>Kevin</strong> and <strong>Danielle</strong> are back in New Jersey.</p>
<p>And it seems they&#8217;re looking to expand. In a preview clip for this Sunday&#8217;s episode of<a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/married-to-jonas" target="_blank"><em><strong> Married to Jonas</strong></em></a>, the couple (along with Kevin&#8217;s mother) go house hunting &#8230; but it&#8217;s not just the three of them.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/22/one-direction-to-dish-all-the-dirt-in-new-book-where-we-are/" target="_blank"><strong>One Direction to Dish All the Dirt in New Book, ‘Where We Are’</strong></a></p>
<p>When they arrive at the home, there&#8217;s a group of neighbors congregated in the street hoping for a glimpse of the famous couple.</p>
<p>And they don&#8217;t find any more privacy once they step inside: the family who live in the house <em>and</em> their friends are all there to watch Kevin and Danielle take a tour with the real estate agent.</p>
<p>&#8220;The house is a little crowded,&#8221; says Kevin, who is surrounded by a group of young fans as he explores the backyard.</p>

<p>In another preview, Kevin, Danielle, and her brother and sisters joke about the report that <strong>Joe</strong> had made a sex tape with his girlfriend.</p>
<p>&#8220;I guess what happens in South America doesn&#8217;t stay in South America,&#8221; says Kevin.</p>
<p>Tune in to <em>Married to Jonas</em> on E! this Sunday at 10/9c.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/30-seconds-to-mars/" target="_blank"><strong>30 Seconds to Mars</strong> </a>performance is never a dull moment.</p>
<p>The rock band fronted by <strong>Jared Leto</strong> put on quite a visual spectacle on <a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/jimmy-kimmel-live" target="_blank"><em><strong>Jimmy Kimmel Live</strong></em> </a>on Tuesday night &#8230; for not one, but two songs.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/22/adam-levine-drips-in-body-paint-in-maroon-5s-love-somebody-video/" target="_blank"><strong>Adam Levine Drips in Body Paint in Maroon 5′s ‘Love Somebody’ Video</strong></a></p>
<p>30STM started the show with &#8220;<strong>Up in the Air</strong>,&#8221; the single from their brand new album <em><strong>Love, Lust, Faith, and Dreams</strong></em>, and as Jared worked the stage, enormous brightly-colored balloons were bounced around between the outdoor stage and the audience.</p>
<p>There was also a group of backup singers wearing white suits (with their faces smeared with paint) and percussionists wearing face masks.</p>

<p>Things calmed down a bit for their second performance, their 2009 hit &#8220;<strong>Kings and Queens</strong>,&#8221; but 30STM still had the same intensity.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/maroon-5" target="_blank"><strong>Maroon 5</strong></a>&#8216;s new music video for &#8220;<strong>Love Somebody</strong>&#8221; showcases <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/adam-levine" target="_blank"><strong>Adam Levine</strong></a> drenched in paint &#8230; and it&#8217;s pretty sexy!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/22/30-seconds-to-mars-put-on-visual-spectacle-on-jimmy-kimmel-live/" target="_blank"><strong>30 Seconds to Mars Put on Visual Spectacle on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>The 34-year-old singer goes shirtless in the simplistic video as he covers himself in a paint-like substance against a white background to slowly reveal parts of himself &#8230; but he&#8217;s not alone as he starts to &#8220;paint&#8221; around him. He&#8217;s joined by another beautiful figure and the two definitely heat things up in the video.</p>

<p>Though Adam and his steamy partner are never fully revealed through the paint, there&#8217;s not too much leftover for our imagination in the end. But is the sexy paint-covered figure all in Adam&#8217;s imagination?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[From sleeping arrangements to accommodating her 2-year-old son, Alicia Keys welcomes fans on her tour bus with new video. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When listing adjectives that describe superstar <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/alicia-keys/"><strong>Alicia Keys</strong></a>, needy isn&#8217;t one of them.</p>
<p>In a new behind-the-scenes video, Alicia gives fans a glimpse into what life is like on her tour bus.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/01/watch-alicia-keys-show-off-fierce-dance-moves-in-new-day-video/"><strong>Watch Alicia Keys Show Off Fierce Dance Moves in ‘New Day’ Video</strong></a></p>
<p>Unlike horror stories that are often told about a musician&#8217;s road trip, Alicia admitted that she enjoys her time on the tour bus. The 32-year-old singer said that the bus is a great place to go after the show to “relax, watch TV, and hang out.”</p>
<p>Wearing a beanie and a big pair of sunglasses, Alicia shows that glam is nowhere to be found on the road. She described the sleeping arrangements as “coffin-esque cots,” but did say that she enjoys the &#8220;rocking&#8221; feeling when sleeping on the bus.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/03/06/miguel-alicia-keys/"><strong>Miguel Says He’s Excited to Meet Alicia Keys’ Fans</strong></a></p>
<p>Alicia also revealed that her 2-year-old son <strong>Egypt</strong> is accompanying her during the current stretch of the <strong><em>Set the World on Fire</em></strong>, tour. Alicia said that she is trying to figure out how to create a “peaceful environment,” for Egypt, as this is his first time on the tour bus.</p>
<p>The <em>Set the World on Fire Tour</em> continues through July 4 in Tel Aviv, Israel</p>

<p>It was one of the great digital debates &#8230; How do you pronounce <strong>GIF</strong>?</p>
<p>While some said it like &#8220;Gift&#8221; without the T on the end, others went with &#8220;JIF,&#8221; like the peanut butter brand.</p>

<p>Well, at the <strong>Webby Awards</strong> on Tuesday night, the creator of the GIF (which stands for Graphics Interchange Format), <strong>Steve Wilhite</strong>, set the record straight.</p>
<p>During his acceptance speech for winning the lifetime achievement award, “It’s pronounced JIF, not GIF,” flashed onscreen behind Wilhite. (There was a five-word limit to speech length.)</p>

<p>When the correct pronunciation was revealed, the audience could be heard cheering and laughing.</p>
<p>Wilhite debuted the GIF in June 1987 while working at CompuServe. In 2012, it became the &#8220;Word of the Year&#8221; by the Oxford American Dictionary.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alexaiono.com/splashpage.cfm" target="_blank"><strong>Alex Aiono</strong></a> is only 16, but he&#8217;s well on his way to stardom!</p>
<p>The talented singer is prepping the release of his EP, <em><strong>Young &amp; Foolish</strong> </em>&#8230; but he&#8217;s giving <a href="http://RyanSeacrest.com " target="_blank"><strong>RyanSeacrest.com</strong> </a>a first listen.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/21/jonas-brothers-to-perform-at-miss-usa-pageant-nick-will-co-host/" target="_blank"><strong>Jonas Brothers to Perform at Miss USA Pageant, Nick Will Co-Host</strong></a></p>
<p>The six songs on the album include the title track (and first single), &#8220;Young &amp; Foolish&#8221; &#8212; which was co-written with <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/john-legend/" target="_blank"><strong>John Legend</strong> </a>&#8211; as well as &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t Get Better,&#8221; &#8220;Love on Fire,&#8221; &#8220;Alphabet Soup,&#8221; &#8220;Time of Your Life,&#8221; and &#8220;Commit.&#8221;</p>

<p>And did we mention he plays five instruments? Alex is skilled at guitar, bass, ukulele, drums, and piano!</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;Writing songs is such a private process,&#8221; Alex tells RyanSeacrest.com. &#8220;Usually, I&#8217;m somewhere with my guitar or working in a studio where it all happens in a pretty solitary way. What&#8217;s cool is how music comes even more alive when I share it with kids who are my age &#8212; online or live. One reason I love the song John Legend and I wrote together is because it just grabs the essence of where I&#8217;m at right now &#8230; and that&#8217;s why the EP is entitled <em>Young and Foolish</em>. I think you&#8217;ve gotta be a little foolish to put yourself out there like this and chase your dream!&#8221;</span></p>
